A proposal

Kristina He goes on one knee. My heart skips a beat.“Will you marry me?” He asks,I turn around in confusion, unable to speak. My heart is plummeting in my chest, and my head starts to bang. I clutch onto my chest, unable to breathe.His eyes are widened, and he is smiling brightly, but I cannot bring myself to speak.My lips part, but the words will not croak.“No…” I whisper in my head, “No,” This cannot be happening. He cannot be proposing right now.This needs to end now.Right on cue, more lights switch on, and a larger banner reads “Will you marry me?” I gasp, silently, covering my mouth with my palms. I can't even speak. This is so wrong. This cannot be happening.I can feel the tears already at the brim of my eyes.When Callum doesn't get a response in minutes, the chants of “say yes!” begins to reduce.I wipe the tears from my eyes, walking into the shadows.“Yes. Of course, I will marry you!” She exclaims, and my heart breaks into tiny bits.I cannot believe it. She agr

A secret

KristinaRegret always comes as a fleeting emotion. As I pick up my towel from its stand, it clenches my chest so hard I think I'll pass out.I turn back to my bed. He's not there. He is never there. We go to bed together, but he is never there in the mornings. I sigh. If anything, that is a clear depiction that he will never be mine.I hiss to myself as I walk into the bathroom.The sound of my phone buzzing pulls my attention, and I pick it up.“Good morning, princess.” His text reads, and my heart flutters a bit. He remembered. He always remembers.I type in my response, and head back to the bathroom, feeling elated.It takes me nothing more than an hour to be ready, and get to work. As soon as I step into the building, all eyes are on me.I raise my chin, walking towards my cubicle. They had all seen the pictures of last night. Glamorous pictures of my sister, and horrible pictures of mine.“Hey, girl!” Laura’s voice pulls me from my trance.I turn to her with a bright smile. T

Dinner

Kristina“What's in the envelope?” Callum's voice rings through my head.With a shaky hand, I hold it, still unable to breathe properly.I turn to him, and his brows are furrowed. I return my attention back to the first line.“Callum cannot save you. Telling him worsens your risk.”I close the envelope then turn to him with a faint smile. “It's nothing serious. I got a ticket, and I guess I haven't paid my fine so I have to show up in court.”“How much is the fine?”“Just a hundred dollars.”His face squirms in confusion, and I can tell he's about to ask a question, so I immediately change the topic.“We actually need to go through the prenuptial agreement.” I say, taking my seat. Callum zips up his trousers, and then sits up. “I thought you didn't want to talk about my marriage to your sister,”“I don't.”“That is why I didn't tell you.”I drop the pen, “there's no need for you to defend yourself. I'm not offended.”He goes mute.“Now, when is the wedding?”“In eight days.”I nearly

a wedding!

Kristina“You must be out of your fucking mind,” I spit at him.He digs into his meal for the seventh time, ignoring my comment.I pick up my bag, and rise to my feet.“If you move an inch from this table, it'll take me just three seconds to ensure I destroy everything you've ever built for yourself. Your sister will despise you. The entire world will know who you are, and what you have done.” He threatens,I grip my one, and only birkin tighter, and then with a curse under my breath, I return back to my seat.“I'm not murdering anyone for you.”“I never asked you to.”“But you just said-”“I said you will help me do it. You couldn't shoot a gun if your life depended on it.”With a hiss, I press my ass back on the chair.I clamp my lips shut. I have to tell Callum about this.I stare at him as he munches through his meal. The only similarity between both brothers is that they both have long hair, and stony eyes.Every other thing is a contradiction, especially the tattoos. Callum with

An objection

KristinaWhoever said the bride was the most stressed on their wedding day had to be out of their minds! The event planner IS the most stressed out.I lift my dress from the floor, stuttering towards the kitchen as I curse under my breath.“What do you mean the cake is not here?” I ask into the phone.“Ma, the vehicle-”“Look, I do not have neither the time nor the energy for this drama. Please, I beg of you, find a way to get that cake here in an hour. One. I am hosting sixty billionaires, and trust me, if that cake doesn't get here by ten am, you will be more than sorry.”I end the call immediately.As I walk into the kitchen, my nose takes an elegant whiff of the meals being prepared.At least something is going right today.“Everything looks good,” I whisper to the head chef. He turns to me with a grim look on his face, “of course everything looks good! I made it happen!” He boastsWith gritting teeth, I smile gently. “You're right.”I turn around, and am about to walk out of th
