HER HUSBAND TO-BE

"Gina!!!" The voice of Vincent, the younger son of the Washington family, filtered into her ears. She lay on the bed idly enjoying her time alone. A sweet smile of happiness sat broadly on her face. Vincent barged into the room without bothering to knock. He scowled at her peaceful figure."Hey, didn't you hear when I called you?", Vincent accused rudely with a sharp pointed look. Gina rose from the bed with a pretty smile on her smooth face. " No, I didn't", she replied calmly."Father wants to speak to you". He hissed at her and walked away. She sighed and slowly rose. She walked like a lamb to her closet and selected a pair of denim jeans and a crop top. Being the only daughter of Washington's home was tiring. Surrounded by six men and being the only female, it pulled a lot on her. She groaned loudly. Her eyes were droopy and weary. They looked like they needed some minutes of shutdown. She dragged her feet out of the room. The house was a two-storey building

JACE SALVADOR

Gina's eyes widened in awe as her gaze fixed on a gigantic and magnificent mansion ahead of them. "Is that where he lives?" She wondered and turned her gaze in his direction. His eyes were entirely on the phone in his hands. She felt ignored. Her eyes squinted as she studied his face from the side view. He looked perfect and handsome. Jace, on the other hand, was so immersed in his thoughts. He didn't even want to look into her eyes. He avoided her hopeful gaze because he knew he would only end up disappointing her. He only agreed to this just to secure the family's legacy. His father's last words echoed in his mind; "'Marriage is a deal. We need this to secure the family's legacy." He sighed sadly. He peered at her face discreetly. She looked like a child in a candy store, awestruck and fascinated. She looked fragile, vulnerable. His mind drifted back to Christine, his four-year-old girlfriend. She always understands him and finds a way to please him. She was the

IT'S COMPLICATED

Gina's voice trembled, "I... I'm Gina." She hesitated, unsure what else to say.Christine's gaze raked over Gina, dismissing her. "Jace, who is this?"Jace's expression remained impassive, but his eyes flickered with guilt. "Gina is... my fiancée."The words cut Gina like a knife. Fiancée. A title that should bring joy, now felt like a prison sentence.Christine's laughter was like ice. "Fiancée? You never mentioned anyone."Jace's jaw clenched, "It's... complicated."Gina's emotions boiled over. She couldn't bear the charade anymore. "Complicated?" she echoed, her voice rising. " You're already taken. Why pretend?"The room fell silent, the tension palpable. Christine's eyes narrowed, Jace's face darkened. Christine recalled the conversations she had earlier with him where he talked about her. Lady Deborah walked in. Her steps degraded, and her shoulders sagged when she saw the intense drama."Gina, please-" Lady Deborah intervened, her voice soft.But Gina wouldn't stop. "No, I

GETTING MARRIED

' CHARLOTTE'S BRIDAL WEARS '. Gina's eyes glistened as she read the name written broadly above the large exquisite store before her. " Come on Gina", Jace growled. She hurried off towards him. Jace pushed the gigantic door of the store open. He walked in. A thin framed woman approached them with a charming smile on her face."Welcome to Charlotte's Bridal Wears, Mr Salvador ", She said with an esteemed look on her face. Jace narrowed his eyes and looked over his shoulder. Gina stood behind him gawking at the store."Welcome Miss...." The woman drawled."Gina" Gina cut in with a small sweet smile spreading on her face."Is she the Bride?" She whispered to Jace. Jace scoffed and rolled his eyes, he sauntered to a chair and sat down. Gina followed him with her gaze."Come with me Darling", The woman motioned and walked through a double mirror door. Gina followed."I am Mrs. Quincy ,"The woman introduced, with a smile that stretched into her eyes. Gina nodded with her l

FIVE DAYS' TIME

There was silence at the other end. Her heart thumped loudly against her chest."F.... Father?!" She stuttered." I am so happy Gina. I knew that you were an asset to me the day you were born! " Mr. Washington's voice boomed excitedly." Thank you so much, Gina." She nodded and hung up. She tossed the phone to the side of the bed and placed both her hands on the bed. Her head tilted left. She released a deep exhale with her eyes closed. Tears streaked down her eyes gently. She sniffled and clamped her lips shut."My lady" A warm hand curled around her shoulders."Dinner is ready" Lady Deborah's mellifluous voice announced. Gina slowly opened her eyes. She looked up to Lady Deborah with a tear-stained face."You are crying, my Lady?" Lady Deborah questioned with concern."I will be fine" Gina flashed a warm smile. Lady Deborah bowed and walked out. Gina slipped into a black fitted lace dress. She wore her flip-flops, picked up her phone, and walked down the stairs. A l

THE MARRIAGE

"Can..... Can I come in?" He requested in an icy, cold tone that her shoulders shiver. Lady Deborah appeared and stood next to him. She winked at Gina with a pretty smile. Gina moved out of the way and he glided past her. The deep scent of his cologne made her feel queasy. She shut the door gently and turned to them. Jace was checking out the room. It was neatly arranged. He had a satisfying look on his face when he turned back to her. She placed her hands across her chest. She cocked her head to one side and took her hands to her waist. Gina's eyes narrowed in inquiry. Jace looked over to Lady Deborah. Lady Deborah nodded and handed a brown bag over to Gina."You can go", Jace said, and wheeled around. Gina passed a skeptical glance at Lady Deborah. Lady Deborah bowed and left. The room assumed a tranquil state. Gina stared at his hard back as he crossed his hands behind his back. Jace couldn't move his lips. Words became heavy for him. He inhaled softly and dug his

A NEW DAWN

" Yeah, whatever" Gina snorted, rolling her eyes mentally. The loud applause died down. Jace turned to the crowd of guests, pulling a broad smile. "Hey, Jace !!!" A scream rang from the right wing of the church hall. Some group of men -- maybe his clique of friends were waving and grinning from ear to ear. His face turned sour and somber when he glanced in their direction. The wedding ended, and the guests began to leave after taking some selfies with the newly wedded couple."My boy" Jace's father walked up to them. He gave Jace a small pat on his back. Gina stood beside them looking forlorn."Gina" Salvador's voice boomed as he dragged her to a hug. Her face protruded with a happy look. His hug was so tight that she could barely breathe properly."Welcome to the family, girlie," He said, releasing her finally from the suffocating hug. Gina took a deep breath. Salvador smiled widely. Washington joined them with his sons."Congratulations, Mr. Jace" Washington shook

A BAD NEWS

~ A YEAR LATER ~ Gina peered into the mirror. Her eyes were sunken and pale. Her face was gloomy. She tried to pull a fake smile but failed. It had been a year of torment and sufferings in her new home. She was no longer Gina Washington, but now Gina Salvador. That change of name had caused a change in her destiny. Her beloved husband, Jace Salvador, has never shown her an ounce of love or affection. They don't even sleep in the same room as husband and wife. She yawned tiredly and moved away from the mirror. She pulled out a cream-coloured dress. She wore it and walked out of the room. So many things have happened already within the space of a year. As the days went by, Gina longed for his love and affection, but she never got any. Rather, she watched Christine and Jace cuddle and smooch each other in every space in the house. Jace and Christine were sitting in the living room when she walked past them. They were eating apples from each other's hands like lovebirds.

A BAD DAY

"Lincoln is Dead " Her father announced bitterly. Agony tore through her chest as she staggered back to the bed. She fell on the bed. It was as though her whole world had just crumbled before her. He was the main reason why she agreed to this sick marriage. He was the only one in the family that looked out for her and now he is dead. She released a loud heart cry. A loud wail sound that tore through the walls of the mansion. The phone fell off her hands and broke completely."Lincoln !!!" She shrieked grabbing both sides of her head in her hands. Lady Deborah and some of the maids waltzed into her room when they heard her screams."No... No.... Lincoln" Her eyes turned red. Her face swelled. No tears came out of her eyes but her face contorted in horrific pain."Gina?!" Lady Deborah shrieked fearfully and held her shoulders." Gina, What is wrong?" She asked, staring into her pain-stricken eyes."Lincoln is dead" She blurted, cringing at her own words. Lady Deborah gasped. She pul

FIRST NIGHT TOGETHER

Gina returned to her room, her cheek wet with tears. She laid back on the bed, spewing out tears.That tiny gleam of happiness and joy that she got had disappeared into thin air, leaving behind gloominess and sorrows. She pulled the duvet over her body.** Jace drank three bottles of rum at a stretch. His stomach churned aggressively as the hot liquid spread all over his stomach. He became sober. His jaw slackened as he rose to his feet with bloodshot eyes. He staggered forward crashing into the table. His forehead smashed on the table. He uttered a low groan and pushed himself up. He swayed uncontrollably, taking unsteady gaits. He held onto the metal rails of the stairs as he staggered up the staircase. He staggered and fell with a loud thud. Gina heard his crash sound from her room. She pushed the duvet off her body and hurried off. A concerned look crossed her face when she saw him in a sober state. Jace pushed himself up. He reeked of a strong alcohol smell. His feet wobbl
