**Earnest POV** I embraced her warmly, not knowing what to tell her about us getting married. I hoped she understood that it wasn't my fault; my father wanted me to marry only Clara and no one else. I was afraid he wouldn't like her. She recoiled from my hold and gave me a weak smile. "Darling!" Her voice was twisted with sadness. "What's the problem, dear?" I asked, not happy to see her face like that. "What do you think of me?" she asked, but I didn't know how to respond. "You are the best woman I have ever seen, the most beautiful woman ever," I responded, hoping she would make me understand why she was asking all of this because right now, I was confused about where her question was coming from. "If I'm the best woman you have ever seen, what is wrong with getting married to me?" She wasn't looking happy. Why was I acting this way, like a daddy's boy? I couldn't even fight for the one I loved but always did what my father expected of me. I stared into her eyes—those eye

Jasmine POV“I think I should be on my heels, ma.” He stood up as I tried following him at the back.“Alright, Earnest. Make sure you come for dinner. I owe you a lot for saving my daughter and for always protecting her. I owe you a lot.” She winked, her visage.“Alright, ma. I will be honored to come,” he said as he took a measured steps to the door while I followed him. We shut the door behind.“Your mum is really pretty. I see where you got all this beauty from.” He caressed my cheeks.I didn't know that I looked so much like my mother, but people keep telling me how much I look like my dad, that monster.“Really? All this while I thought I looked like that monster.” Anger popped up on my face.“Who is the monster you are talking about?” He was looking at me somewhat askance. Should I tell him the monster is a father who deprived his daughter of education and made my mother's life a living hell?“That monster groaned like a lion. He almost killed my mother.” I was annoyed to rememb

I staggered on my bed. I tried to relax and believe I would soon become Earnest's bride, but my mind refused to quiet down. I was full of anxiety, turning and tossing as the fear of not being in Earnest's future gripped me like a vice, squeezing my mind and making it hard for me to breathe. I thought about our conversation, replaying every word. I thought I was just a temporary distraction to him. Tears welled up in my eyes. I didn't want to be in his life; I wanted to be the one he couldn't imagine living without. As the night wore on, my eyelids grew heavy, but my mind remained wide awake, tormenting me with what-ifs and maybes. How did Earnest view me? I kept questioning myself: Am I not attractive enough to behold? I was too exhausted to think more of it. I drifted off immediately, only to find myself gazing into the mirror, beaming with happiness. Today I could finally say "I do" to Earnest, my eyes sparkling like diamonds.I was wearing a stunning white wedding gown, intrica

My phone started buzzing; it was a call from Earnest. A tickling smile spread across my face as I picked it up.“Hello, darling,” I answered, still smiling. I can't tell what it is about Earnest that captures my heart so much that I can't be without him. Was it his handsomeness, or did he have all the qualities I needed? I don’t know. I think it's something far beyond what I can imagine. I can't stop being gratefully happy because my wish has been fulfilled. Earnest is craving for me, and here he is, telling me how much he would love to see me around his world.“Would you like to have a chance today to go on dinner with me to my company?” I couldn't contain the smile that covered my cheeks. It's a great thing that I'm actually going on dinner with Earnest; I can be introduced as his girlfriend there. I guess from there, I will be getting noticed. Without much hesitation, I responded as if it was what I had been expecting for ages.“Yes, yes, I will.” I couldn't stop saying yes countl

"The day didn't go as I wished. Earnest didn't introduce me to the crowd as his girlfriend,” I muttered to myself upon waking up with a strong pain in my head. “I was expecting him to say it loud that I'm his girlfriend. Before I knew what happened yesterday, those attention-seeker girls landed a hot slap on my cheek, which made me start fighting them. The dinner party just ended like that."I sprang to my feet and walked directly to the bathroom to wash off the junk that accumulated in my eyes. I gazed at myself in the mirror. My eyes were red and puffy, my cheek still stinging from the slap. I still couldn't believe how the night had ended without anything special. I thought maybe it was because I wasn't dressed properly. I had been so excited to be introduced as Earnest's girlfriend, but instead, I had been humiliated by those attention-seeking girls.I splashed water on my face, trying to wash away the tears and the pain. But as I looked into the mirror, I saw a reflection of a gi
