🌹 9 🌹 “He is calling.” Joyce held up the phone to her husband who slowly took it. “You have to answer him.” Vera turned to look at her parents who were visibly terrified. “Mr…” “Franklin,” A firm but calm voice cut him short. “I'd like to believe the rumors are false. And I'd like to also believe that your daughter will show up for the my son's wedding. Franklin, you know I don't like any scandal so I'm pretty sure you will fix everything, yes?” “Yes sir, I will. Please, don't be mad. My daughter is just having a phase. I'll handle it.” “You have thirty minutes, Franklin. Don't make me destroy you.” He casually said and ended the call. Franklin let out a shaky breath. “Joan has ruined us all.” “Why would you promise that? Why weren't you honest with him? Certainly he will understand?” Vera frowned. “Can you hear yourself?!” Joyce threw her hands in the air and turned to her husband. “We can just run.” “Run?” Vera repeated. “Princess, Noah's father will des

🌹 10 🌹 Vera depressingly walked out of her room, her makeup all ruined by the painful tears. “Baby.” Her mother rushed to her with panic. “You need to get dressed, you look like shit.” Vera looked up at her mother. So this was what it felt like to be used. “I'm good, mum. Thanks for asking.” “I know you will be fine. Look, Noah's father threatened to take everything away if we don't give him an answer in ten minutes. Your career, our jobs, everything.” “He can't take what's mine. I worked hard to be where I am.” Tears filled her eyes. “He is a fucking billionaire, Vera. He will take whatever he wants! Do you hear that? He will destroy us all, I'm not kidding right now.” Joyce said with so much fear. “Why don't he do his worse?” Vera spat and walked away. “I told him you're willingly to marry Noah instead.” Joyce announced, making Vera halt with urgency. Vera slowly turned back. “You what?” “You have to marry his son, Vera. If you refuse, he will mostly take out h

🌹 11 🌹 Vera stepped out of the limousine that brought her from the airport. What's the point of a honeymoon if the bride and groom hate each other? Why did Noah bring her here? Away from her parents and everyone? “Ma'am? This way please.” A polite voice said to her. Vera snapped back to reality and looked around. It was a very huge mansion, beautiful and neat. It was mostly glass. But she didn't have the time to admire the architecture as a rush of nausea hit her but she managed to contain herself. She patiently followed the nice man into the house. The interior looked so classy and dripping millions. The decor was mature, Joan would've loved this house, this was her style. Tears filled her eyes as she tried to blink them away. ‘This is not the time, Vera. You're not weak, you're stronger than this.’ Through out the journey in his private jet, she hardly stopped herself from breaking down. Thankfully, Noah sat as far as possible away from her so he wouldn'

🌹 12 🌹 Vera stretched in the soft feathery bed. She can't remember her bed being so cloudy and silky. She slowly sat up with a yawn as the silk linens around her lovingly caressed her soft skin. Vera looked around, a little doubtful. Why does today feel different? Her doors suddenly open and she jumped in fright. A long line of chefs assembled in, decorating her table with delicious food. “What's going on?” She frowned a little. “Your breakfast, Mrs. Grey.” One of them answered. Pause, Mrs. Grey? Yuck! “Um,” Vera slowly climbed down the bed. “Does Noah know you brought in food for me?” The enticing aroma filled the room and invaded her nostrils. “It was his orders.” Another replied. “Hm.” Vera suspiciously looked at the food. Is this his way of getting rid of her? But the food smelled so good! “Do you need a food taster, Mrs. Grey?” The first asked. “N-no..” She shook her head. “Yeah, yes.” She instantly changed her mind and stood by to watch h

🌹13🌹 “Uhh…” She gasped, mouth open and eyes wild. The look of shook on her face froze for a moment as she turned pale. She felt herself slowly float in the air as she fell downwards, reaching out to him with her right hand and a little bit of hope that he'd actually catch her. She could hear an imaginary violin, beautifully playing in her ears. The hope snapped away when she instantly fell on the glass table and the loud sound of the crashing glass reverberated in her ears before her eyes shut close. “Oh God!” Vera suddenly sat up on her bed, sweating and panting in fear. “Oh fuck!” She tightly held her chest and looked around, with her lips parted as she tried to breathe. It was just a dream! She looked down at herself and realized she was naked in bed. Memories of yesterday night flashed in her mind. Vera deeply inhaled and closed her eyes, falling back into the bed. It was just a dream! She slowly sat up again, looking around again until her stomach made a
