Mary's POV "I have thought well about it, I'm all in!" Those were the first words I said to Danny when I resumed work the next day, the phone call with my mother gave me all the reasons I needed. "That's great. That means I'm going to fix that into my schedule." Without looking at me, he typed some things on his desktop computer "Schedule?" I tried moving around to see his screen. I didn't know how it started but I was already feeling close to him, a kind of closeness that made me feel safe despite everything I knew about him. "We are going to the registry office to get a marriage certificate as soon as possible." He punched the 'enter' key on his keyboard with style and looked into my eyes. "Before obtaining that, there's a document to sign." "Before that, I think there's a problem that I need to solve," I quickly chimed in as it still kept bothering me. "And what could that be?" he asked with his usual great composure, unworried about anything. "My mother want

Mary's POV The soft scent of a champagne mixed with crystal wafted through the grand ballroom. The scene was bathed with warm golden light which made it seem like a dreamworld as everywhere kept glowing over the elegantly dressed guests. But to me, the entire celebration was just another cruel joke the world was using to mock me.My mind swayed back to two days ago when Danny came to pick me up at the airport and told me that he wanted to cancel the marriage contract.I didn't feel bad at that moment, I just thought he was going to elevate my status not knowing that I was going to get demoted.He later showed me the picture of the lady he was going to get married to, which happened to be none other than Donna Cale.My former best friend who broke the relationship between me and Jerry.Since that moment, I have had a headache that refused to disappear till this moment.As I stood in the corner with my hand clenched tightly at my side, I watched as the man I had just fallen in love wit

Mary's POV That evening, I went to the restaurant for the dinner just to be with Danny. As I sat at the long table that was set lavishly, I forced myself to remain composed but Donna, as always, showed her disdain. Danny was sitting between us, an attempt to mediate and reduce the tension. But it didn't work as the air was already thick with silent unspoken resentment. “I don’t know why she’s still here,” Donna muttered and swirled the wine in her glass with annoyance. I clenched my fork as anger erupted within me, but I controlled myself from flaring up. I cleared my throat and before I could respond, Danny sighed. “Donna, stop!” His voice was firm, but Donna just scoffed. “I’m just asking what she's doing here as she is not part of this family.” Donna's father, Mr. Cale ignored the exchange and pretended to be focused on his conversation with Danny’s father, Mr. Williams. They both seemed indifferent to the tension while Donna’s mother got herself involved by shooting a smug

Author's POV Sitting in his new office across from his father, Danny felt the weight of responsibility as it kept pressing against his chest. His father's voice was calm but there was an undeniable warning beneath it as he spoke, "You need to stop acting recklessly, Danny,” he said while adjusting his cufflinks as his face drifted away from Danny. "Doing anything foolish will be costly and unbearable. You will lose the company as it might fall into your cousin's hand. I believe you do understand what that means, right?“ Danny clenched his jaw and tightened his fists as he placed them on his laps. He understood his father clearly. The inheritance, the company and everything his father had built was just hanging by a thread at the moment. And the only way to stop the thread from breaking was to get tied to Donna. “I understand”, Danny muttered while forcing himself to remain composed at all costs His father studied him for a moment, he later nodded in approval after he had felt sa

Mary's POV I sat by the window of Rosa's bedroom while staring blankly outside at the city lights as they kept flickering in the distance. No matter how much I tried to distract myself to forget everything that happened, my mind kept finding a way to bring Danny back into my thoughts. Every day felt suffocating, seeing him with Donna, hearing about their engagement while watching as he worked hard to fulfill the role of a devoted fiancé. And every day, my heartbreak kept becoming devastating. I had loved him for so long, though I didn't show it to him, but I believed he loved me all that time. Thinking about him, being engaged to Donna tormented me. It was so hard that it made it impossible for me to breathe. I couldn't move on. To continue existing without pain creeping into my heart had become unachievable. Love was supposed to be beautiful, but for me, it had become a slow, agonizing tormenting torture. A sudden knock on the door snapped me out of my thoughts. “Open up!
