~ Veronica BeckhamThe D-day was ultimately here. To finally announce our engagement and clear all rumors people had been spreading about us. I woke up tired, dreading today. I was not really good with people, I didn't know how I was going to stand plastering a permanent fake smile on my face, my cheeks were going to hurt like hell. My parents decided not to come, they didn't want to be in front of the public eye especially if paparazzi and a lot of photographers and media houses were going to be there. But my sister wasn't going to miss something like this.According to her, this was the engagement of the century, the most anticipated one. She went shopping with Analisse a few days ago and like I predicted, they fell in love at first sight, they were glued to the hip, you would think they'd known each since forever. I was dropping her off at Mrs. Callaghan's house, she decided to get ready and leave for the hall from there.I haven't spoken to Arthur since the dinner I had with h

~Veronica Beckham A soft slow romantic jazz music was playing in the background. People grabbed partners to dance with and a lot of guys kept walking up to Reese to ask her to dance but she kept refusing them, saying they were not her type, but I felt she didn't want to leave me all alone so I didn't get too tipsy. She had been monitoring my drinks. We kept ourselves busy talking about the girls glaring at me, their loud makeup and dresses that looked like a club gown. A blonde head especially has been staring at me and attaching herself to Arthur. Every time I saw him, she was always nearby, caressing his cheeks, holding his hands. I could see he was uncomfortable, trying to pry her long nails off him. He kept sending me signals to come save him but I didn't. He should sort it out himself. Why the hell would he invite his flings to our engagement? I thought this kinda thing only happens in Soap Operas and reality tv shows, but here I was, entangled in this shit.I’d had just three

~Veronica Beckham I watched as he strode towards us, smiling mischievously. Oh God, he already disliked me but now he hated me more now that I was engaged to Arthur, stopping him from getting the company. Why must there be a villain?"Mother and daughter, how wonderful", he cackled, his laughter so loud and wide, I could see his whole thirty-two teeth. I felt like ripping his teeth off.What he said drew the attention of people around, and they started staring."You know it's so disappointing. Here you are sipping champagne from the glass your mother served you at your proposal dinner you didn't invite her to", he shook his head at me.This was his plan all along, to make me look bad. The murmurs got louder, and people brought out their phones to take pictures. "You abandoned your parents to live a fake life, your sick paralyzed father is in the hospital while you're here having fun", he carried on, his voice getting louder."Wait, so she's poor?", a girl uttered, giving me a disgus

~Arthur CallaghanI hoped she was not trying to pull a ‘left hanging by the Alter" shit, even though it was not the marriage yet. Where the fuck was Veronica? I thought maybe she was still getting ready, as women took more time only for the designer to call me that they haven’t seen her. I called her severely but no response, even her bloody driver wasn't answering his phone too. Isaac was so fired! Analisse was also worried, Lilly was supposed to get ready with her.My mum had to go to the hall, at least someone from the family had to be there. Ana didn’t want to tag along, she was super worried, Lilly wasn’t picking up her calls or replying to her texts either.It was funny how they’ve known each other for a very short period and were super close and cared for each other so much. I like that Ana had that kinda friendship with Lilly, it was not every time you met somebody and both of you just clicked.I dialed her number again, and finally, she picked up.“Why the fuck are you Vee

~Arthur CallaghanI walked in to see people were already seated, Mum walked up to me and reminded me of the speech. I totally forgot to tell Vee about the proposal, and she hated surprises, I even got another ring. I planned on proposing all over again in front of everybody, this would definitely spite my uncle. He wasn’t invited obviously, he would have to watch this. I could literally envision the anger sipping out of him. I spotted a terrified look on Vee, I guess someone told her already. I took a glass of champagne, walked to the stage, and used my ring to tap the glass. Everywhere quieted down.“We all know why we’re here, if you don't then you shouldn't be here", I started and people laughed, Vee also did, I hoped it calmed her nerves. It was nothing too serious, just a straight to the point proposal. I'd make sure to lighten the mood so she didn't feel too tense."I'd like to invite my lovely wife to the stage for a toast"I watched as she stood up cautiously, walking towards
