An Unexpected Engagement Novels & Stories

Now here I am one month later standing inside Bryan Calloway’s fucking penthouse with a bottle of wine in one hand and somehow I’m not here for work. No! I’m here for my best friend’s engagement party slash one-month anniversary celebration if that’s even a real thing which honestly sounds medically concerning when you say it out loud. Yet somehow this entire situation feels perfectly on brand for Bryan and Kieran. Because yeah! My bestie is engaged to be married to Bryan fucking Calloway, it’s all so surreal but it’s true and very real. Their love story wasn’t like the regular type of romance, it was unhinged, and I tell you he displayed some pretty deeply alarming traits but unfortunately

His parents are hers too. Now his family with her family will properly be involved in the engagement. The kids play engagement they had will be nothing compared to what they will have now and she didn't and never thought of preparing herself for this, this soon. It's not just too soon for her but also very unexpected and sudden for her. Not because Soham isn't the one she wants but because she was again afraid of having such big responsibility again.

I even saw some of them widening their eyes. Some of the girls may not know that we are engaged, and there haven't been any formal announcements or engagement parties from both of the family. But according to Mary, it was supposed to happen (engagement party) on Lady Marina's birthday. But things fell out of hand when he fell in love with Gina. Everyone is gossiping. No legit news and evidence. Chismosa here, chismosa there, chismosa everywhere. No matter where you go, gossip will never disappear, even if you die.

My thumb hovered over the call button again, ready to redial her number for what must have been the tenth time this morning. Ever since I heard the news of Charlotte and Adam’s engagement, I hadn’t known a moment of peace. The thought of losing her—truly losing her—was suffocating. When I first found out their marriage was just a business arrangement, it was like a lifeline. I told myself I still had a chance, that I could fix things between us, that she would see reason. But now? Now they were planning to get married for real. That was it. That would be the end of us.

How despicable! The engagement banquet ended in a way that no one expected.

"You know, this engagement took me by surprise. I didn't expect it at all, I never thought dad will be thinking about my marriage this soon, even Zayn didn't told me anything about it, looks like it's the decision of adults, that day that woman said uncle has met my dad, maybe they met to discuss about this matter." Daniel propped himself up on one elbow, looking at her with adoration in his eyes. "I know, Luna, and I'm sorry for the surprise. Your father must've thought it would be a good idea to announce it here, and I couldn't say no to him, if it's somewhere I would've asked for your opinion, but right now if I've done something it'll tarnish our families reputation and the relationship

I thought we, both family sides, were just waiting for the tentative schedule to be married, but then something very unexpected happened. One day, her mother came to a presscon shocking all of us with her announcement that her daughter's engagement with me was canceled and Tamara was not marrying me anymore.

I said as if I was sure. He snorted at me, clearly disapproving. "Don't be too confident, Miles, because we don't know how fate will play out. Isn't everything that happened to you with Zandy, unexpected? So expect the unexpected, Miles." She even raised an eyebrow at me as if to tell me to prepare for what might happen. I didn't say a word for a while, seriously looking at Andrea. I can't help but think about everything that happened since Zandy arrived and all of that was unexpected.

The top trending hashtag, #engagement, was an eyesore to Jasper. "I'm shell-shocked." Stunned, Landon hissed in Jasper's ear, "I thought you said you'd break up with Liana? Why did your stepmom announce your engagement instead? You're even on trending topics! "Uncle Javier isn't against the engagement, it seems. What's going on? Are you still with her or not?" Jasper felt his ears buzzing. His body and fingers stiffened. Like a pulled bow, he was close to a breakdown.

"I'll handle all the arrangements. You just focus on being happy, okay?" "But Dad—" "Oh, I've got to call your Aunt Sarah! She'll be over the moon. Love you, sweetie!" The line went dead. I stared at my phone, then at my now-cold latte. What just happened? A gust of wind sent a flurry of golden leaves dancing around my feet as I stepped outside. I watched them swirl, my mind racing. How did a simple misunderstanding spiral so quickly out of control? It was a misunderstanding, wasn't it? I mean, I think I'd remember getting engaged. Then again, I couldn't quite recall what I had for dinner last night, so who knows?
