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 I hurried through the crowded hallways with my bag clutched tightly in my hand as I glanced at the paper in my hand. "Class 222, Where is it?" I turned left and then right with my frustration growing as I couldn't locate the classroom. Despite cancelling the contract, Danny still insisted on doing everything stipulated in it. With that, I had to take an extra course in a Specialized College as we had agreed upon. That was why I was in this college, scrambling around for my class when I was already late. I had forgotten about this when I was drinking last night. The hangover made it hard for me to prepare this morning. “Miss, you’re going to be late,” a strange voice called from behind. I spun around and saw a professor giving me a pointed look. “Oh! Yes!” I stammered before getting out of my astonishment. As I rounded the corner, I crashed into someone in full force with books and papers flying everywhere. “Oh my God! I’m so sorry!” I blurted as I struggled to cat

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

Mary's POV The next morning, I walked into college feeling heavier than usual. Last night’s dinner still lingered in my mind. Donna’s words, Danny’s silence and the suffocating weight of everything all. I had barely reached my locker when Rosa appeared beside me to link our arms together just like the previous day. “Why do you look so sad? Like you lost a pet,” Rosa teased and bumped her shoulder into mine. “Did you have a nightmare?” I let out a sigh with weariness. “Its not really a nightmare but something like that.” Rosa narrowed her eyes and stared at me for a while before leaning in to whisper some words, “Was it family drama or relationship drama?” I scoffed and smiled subtly. “It's definitely the first one.” Rosa patted my head as if I were a child. “You have to forget about it now. We’re in college, babe. You don't have enough time to waste on people who don’t deserve your time.” Before I could respond, a familiar voice suddenly cut in. “Well, if it isn’t my favorit

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 Outside the mall, I sat on a park bench with my arms wrapped tightly around my chest. I kept trying to hold back my tears but no matter how hard I tried, once I remembered the humiliation I suffered from Donna, the betrayal from Danny, everything all was unbearable for me. The moment Danny told me to apologize to Donna, it felt like the final stab to my heart, giving me painful episodes.Although they were engaged, but a part of me still hoped that maybe he would still stand up for me. He clearly knew that Donna was just trying to humiliate me. I put my hope in him and he crushed the hope in front of everyone just to add to my pain.“Why am I even crying over him?” I muttered to myself bitterly and wiped off my tears with my trembling fingers.A familiar voice interrupted my thoughts all of a sudden, startling me. “Because you’re too kind to a fault and it's better you change for your own good.”I looked up and saw Rosa standing in front of me with her arms crossed. She h

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!

Mary's POV As the days progressed, Reid and I grew closer and we became close friends. Like I said, I joined the girls’ basketball team and to everyone's surprise, I played exceptionally well. Sometimes, Reid and I would compete against each other. Even he couldn’t stop praising and admiring my skills. There were moments that I even played better than some members of his own team. Despite our growing friendship and the small rumors, I only saw Reid purely as a friend and nothing more. However, my friends, Rosa and Rodney, were always teasing me about it. “So, Mary!” Rosa grinned mischievously while nudging me. “Why don't you explain how you managed to melt the icy Reid Brown, did you pour some hot water on him?” I rolled my eyes and took a sip of my drink. “I didn’t melt anything, Rosa. We’re just teammates.” “Teammates, just teammates?” Rodney smirked with sarcasm. “You two spend more time together than the rest of the team. Are you sure you are just teammates?" I sighed. “
