It was modest to add that I had been correct in my husband and Celine Alonso all along. They were indeed in a serious relationship for a long, long time and veiled it from the eyes of the world without a flaw. Their friendship was always talked of in the town however, no one seemed to notice the other coating on that friendship, which I deciphered after giving a glance at them laughing together.Yeah, yeah. I wasn’t a fortune teller or processed any supernatural power to divulge these sorts of hidden relationships between human beings. They gave me the clues to discover their relationship in the first place.It was last year when I joined Gavin at a charity where people donated money for unprivileged children’s futures and education. It was an interesting event, yet the most fun began after the arrival of Celine, who was accompanied by her father. As soon as Celine set her foot in the area, all the men were gazing at her like puppies who all desired her attention. They were trying to

Two Years LaterCeline had been busy talking to someone on the phone for over an hour now. If I had to guess, I would say it was the wedding planner who was responsible for her wedding. As a bride, of course, she was going to be terrific in her half-million dollar wedding gown that was designed by Oscar de la Renta just for her. The designer’s team worked for ten days on her special dress so they could make her dream reality, and they did. All the instructions Celine gave them were there. The lace mermaid dress with a long train dress possibly was going to steal all the limelight on her wedding day. For me, that wouldn’t be a surprise.Celine was getting married, putting her career aside. This ambitious woman was all ready to walk down the aisle to say those two words. If someone told me about this a year ago, I would have laughed and moved on to the next joke, but that wasn’t a joke anymore. It was reality, for her as well as mine too.The wedding is going to be held in Canada. Yes,

Today was a hectic day for me, as I suspected last night. The wedding was today, the same one that I had been planning with the bride and groom for the past year. Obviously, they were both prominent names in Canada, as they established themselves in the heart of Hollywood better than any other actor or actress. My client Gianna and Joshua were the dream girl and heartthrobs of the entire world at this moment. They were the two most trending people on all the social media platforms, so, of course, when they announced their wedding to the world, people were gossiping about this grand event more than the war that was happening in Afghanistan at that moment.Gianna and Joshua were the ultimate power couple in Hollywood, but it wouldn’t be wrong if you named them one of the most influential and potent couples in the world. With a combined net worth of nearly 2.24 billion dollars, they were ruling the world with their exceptional work and charity work all over the world. People considered b

Celine was fuming, and there was nothing I could do for her to calm down, so I sat tight in my chair and tried to finish some pendent work I had failed to fulfill due to the madness that was going on in my life. Interestingly, this madness had a name this time, “Wedding,” the same fucking wedding that Celine had been planning for God knew how long. It had been so long that I was losing interest in this ceremony even before things were coming together.Honestly, I was indifferent about this formality. What was the point of spending so much money on one day when, in reality, the marriage we were going to have was nothing but finding the middle ground? But Celine didn’t wish to hear that, even when she had the perfect knowledge of why I agreed to marry her. Yet she chose to ignore the fact as she was planning this fairytale wedding that, for me, was a waste of money.I tried to explain to her on multiple occasions about this and told her my view on all of this, but she chose to play dumb

Was this some plan of Dorthy’s that I was aware of? Of course, it was. It had to be otherwise. Why in the world could she take a project that required us to be outside Canada? During my first year working with this unpredictable woman, we got a lot of calls from outside Canada. Spain, Italy, Germany, India, and some countries whose names I never heard of. All these calls came to us for just one reason: they wanted us to arrange their wedding, the special day of their lives. I recalled receiving a hundred calls on the same day from the same couple to request we take their wedding ceremony on board, but sadly, I had to decline everything just as my boss instructed me.There was nothing in my hand as I was merely an assistant to this world-class wedding planner who refused to take any project that was outside Canada. The reason was simple; she was afraid of planes.Yes, you heard it right. This woman, who was in her late thirties, barely spared anyone from her harsh criticism or the inti

Meeting wedding planners and nodding my head at everything Celine said was my least preferred thing to do, but doing that same stuff right before one of my important meetings was helping my anger to burst at any moment. I needed to seal the deal this time, which I failed to do the last three times I had the same meeting in this same hotel. It was an essential project that my company craved to do. More than that, it was the pressure of my father. And that was making everything insufferable for me.According to him, after my reunion with Celine, I was a different person, not the same one that I used to be. There was nothing I could say to that question, as I didn’t recognize myself when I stood in front of the mirror after Lauren left. My father got an opportunity to blame Celine, and he was using that like a dream. He didn’t care what other people would think about him, he just did the stuff that he thought was right. Dissing Celine in front of the crowd was one of them.“You are makin

This man didn’t change a bit. The man who was my husband and the one who was my boss were two different people, and today I was sure about his dual personality. The two months I spent with him and his wife was different in every way. First and foremost, he was kind, sweet, caring, attentive, and all the other stuff you could think he was, but now he wasn’t. During these two years, he chewed some poisonous insects, which was the source of his ruthless, cruel, and cold behavior toward me.Did he really think I was going to work for him again in this life after what I went through in those three years? God, he was delusional, wasn’t he? He was the worst boss in this entire world and anyone who wanted to work with him for a second time after walking down the fiery path would be a fool, and I didn’t wish to be that person.I didn’t care what he did. If he was getting married to his ex-girlfriend, well, good for him, and if he wasn’t because his wife refused to be his wedding planner, then

“Where are you going this early in the morning?” Celine asked me when I was getting ready at 6 in the morning.When I awoke to begin my day, she was sound asleep in her bed. She was still in the same position when I came back from the shower. For a second, there was no movement in the bed. I felt she was dead. It wasn’t Celine that was lying in the bed; instead, it was a corpse, but that was just wishful thinking from my side. It was the sound of my phone that stirred her up from her snooze.“I have a meeting,” I replied to her question while fastening my tie.It was only half true, and I had no intention of telling her the entire thing.“I am on my way to meet our wedding planner, who is also my ex-wife.”The moment Celine got to know who Lauren was, she was going to do something that would be tough for me or anyone to manage. Celine was easier to handle after the news of her pregnancy, but I should have taken advantage of this gentle personality as one poke was enough to wake up the

Spending my entire morning with Gavin and telling a few little lies was supposed to be enough for the day. However, that wasn’t the case here. Dorthy called to ask if I had begun working on the wedding or what I was thinking of starting the work since the wedding was fifteen days away now. She asked me if I needed an assistant or additional help and if she could send some of our staff here to help me. She was being helpful, trying her best to look after me, yet none of her words or attitude seemed genuine to me. Following the argument I had with her just last night, along with the arrogance and harsh words she uttered to me, that woman lost my respect the second those expressions came out of her mouth.She was my boss, and I would work for her, but there wouldn’t be any emotional feelings attached to her. Previously, I envisioned her as my mentor, a boss bitch woman who was malicious, yet I believed there was a gentle side to her. There was none. All she knew was money and fame. She d

She was married. The ring on her finger that I thought was just a show wasn’t a show, actually; it was the symbol of her being with another man. Or should I say the ring was evidence of her being the wife of whatever stupid man he was? It was the latter one, of course.Also, there was a baby. Their baby, Lauren, and her fucking husband’s baby. She had already moved on in life, enjoying her happily ever after in a foreign country, where I was pinning over her like a fool. I was a moron for falling in love with that woman. I kept her alive in my memories even after she left me, vanished in the dark with no answers. There were so many questions I wanted to ask her, but it looked like I did not need them anymore since she wasn’t mine anymore. There was another man in her life who apparently had the title “husband,” which was once mine.While she was already in a different phase in her life, I confessed my love to her. Fucking great. She was probably laughing about this with her new husban
