Chapter one

Odessa I woke up with a slight headache and an empty wine bottle at my feet. I must've gotten knocked out by the wine last night. I looked at the alarm clock on my bed stand, it was 11am. Everything that happened the night before started coming back to me. How did this happen?, how did I mess everything up? How did everything turn sour so fast? I went back to the night all of this started. The night I met Ricardo for the first time. ~ I rang the doorbell one more time and the door opened. My sister was standing there with a big smile on her face. “You sure took your time. I hope you had fun, and oh, stop forgetting your keys at home. You'll lock yourself out again.” “You know it's stress, Evangeline.” I pulled my coat tighter, my focus was no longer on the trophy. “Yeah, stress since you were like ten” she rolled her eyes and leaned on the doorframe. “Girl shut up, and go insi

Chapter two

Ricardo The day was already coming to an end, and I still hadn't spoken to the lead actress of the new movie I was directing.

Chapter three

Odessa The morning light touched my face before his fingers did. I woke up to his arms around me, warm and possessive. The diamond ring on my finger felt heavier than I thought it would. He was still asleep, breathing softly, like nothing in this world could hurt him. I closed my eyes again and tried to remember the moment I said yes. I wasn't sure why I did. ~ I rolled onto my side and stared at the ring again. It sparkled in the dim light just like it did last night. And suddenly, I was back there. Back in that room, barefoot, with his voice still in the air. It all happened so fast, the ring, the unnecessary attention, the camera flashes. We should have spoken about this before he proposed. Did he not think I had a say in if and when I get married? I rolled off the bed, I needed a shower and some wine. The warm water relieved me of whatever I was feeling. I stared at the ring on my finger again. I was
