Raquel’s POV "What the hell was that all about? Were you really serious about letting Ms. Morgan seeing the first part of your book. You don't like anybody reading your books until they are finished." Claire pointed out as we were heading to her office. "She's an editor and I can use her opinion." I replied. "Is it her your trying to work with or Mr. Clarkson? I can see the way you've been looking at him. Are you attracted to him?" She asked seriously. "Wow, Claire just because you are getting married you can't just interpret my actions towards everybody as an attraction. Last time it was me attracted with Ms. Morgan and now Mr. Clarkson..."I pointed out.  "You don't normally act this way. When was the last time you tried bribing someone? You don't just give away gifts to someone you just met." "Claire, I have a good feeling with working with Clarkson & Vera Publications." "Fine. I have other

Raquel’s POVAfter they left I went over to Claire and James' house. The bachelorette party is in a few days and I need to run down some things with her about the wedding reception. I didn’t expect to hear them arguing."No. I don't fucking care." Claire screamed. "The wedding is off.""Sweetheart, you can't do this to me." James embraced Claire to stop her from leaving."Guys, what is going on here?" I announced my presence."The wedding is off. I am not going to get married." Claire replied, crying. "I just can't do it.""Calm down. We need to think this through." James pleaded. "Don't leave me please. I love you.""Let's talk about this. Why don't we all go back in the house so we can figure this out." I stated. "Tell me what's wrong." We all got inside the house. "Let's talk about this.""No. There is nothing to talk about. I am not walking down the aisle for a publicity stunt for your fami

Raquel’s POV"Hey, so how was your vacation? I can't believe that all you needed was for me to call of my wedding and go on a vacation for you to actually head on a vacation of your own." Claire smiled when I opened my door for her."When did you get back?" I asked as we were in the living room."The other day and I was really surprised to find out that you were gone with Stephanie and Samuel. I think she is a much better influencer than I am." "Oh from now on she is just my editor. She is crazy." I explained to Claire what happened and she just laughed. “She was yelling at me like a crazy person.”"Well it looks like she got a point. Samuel dragged you on a trip that is just supposed to be her and their friends." Claire pointed out."I am not really not sure. Do you think that Samuel was using me to make her feel jealous?" I asked."Who knows you are the one who has been hanging

Raquel’s POV I knew that Claire is going to mess up James life. She always does everything she wants. No one is ever able to really control her. James brings out the best in her. They have been together all these years and was bound to get married. Now he just brought out the worst in her. I wish I can talk her out of her plan but I couldn't. She wants me to take her side but honestly I can't do that. James is also my friend. And I wish I can do something to make their lives better. There is absolutely nothing interesting in my life as of the moment. Seriously, I am not pathetic to go after Samuel. I don't think that I need a fucking love life. My life has been great without him. I just have to focus my energy in something more productive with my life. I decided to work on a new book and I think it's going to be great. And I think I am out for fucking blood. I want to write a story about a stalker who kills people he thinks is going to ruin his perfe

Raquel’s POV I didn't understand why Claire and James were fine with having dinner together. They have been avoiding each other in the past days and now they were acting like they were on good terms. They even helped  me prepare dinner. Did something happen that I missed? I hope we all get out of this alive.  "So Raquel, what have you been up to?" Ava asked casually. "Writing." I replied.  "You are working on a new book?" Stephanie asked. "That's nice." "I write for a living so I can't just stop writing." I smiled. "Excuse me. I think Claire's guest is here." "Good evening, everyone, this is Javier Santos." Claire introduced him to everyone. "I know you were expecting just me and Raquel but James' sister Ava just arrived and she invited her friend over as well."   "Gorgeous you don't have to explain anything to me. It's cool. The more the merrier. You just have to say yes to my invitati
