Oblivion Standing Stones

When my husband returned home to visit his parents, I noticed that he forgot to bring back the specialties he had bought. I ran after him, only to find him getting out of a car in a suit. His childhood friend stepped forward to welcome him. They held hands and smiled as they looked into each other’s eyes. They looked like a happy, newlywed couple. Only when my husband saw me standing not too far away did he hurriedly distance himself from his childhood friend. “Her mother’s critically ill, and her mother’s only wish is to see her get married. I’m just helping her.” I simply smiled. I pushed him right back to his childhood friend’s side and started cheering with everyone else. “When’s the baby coming?! I’ll be sure to wrap a nice gift!”

"One wish,” whispered Rica. “A love that will last forever.” Rica jumped out of her bed when she saw a man lying in the bed next to her. She stared at him, fascinated by his handsome face. He had an attractive aquiline nose which complemented his projecting cheekbones and alluring lips. His black glistening hair was coiffed to perfection. She closed her eyes. “This is just a dream,” she told herself pinching her own skin to wake herself up. “This is not a dream and I am your husband.” Her eyes widened as she stared at the manly figure standing in front of her. His perfect amber-colored eyes met hers. She opened her mouth, trying to speak, but no words came out. She was so confused. Yesterday, her boyfriend broke up with her, and now a stranger has appeared claiming they were married to each other. Is he the one she has been waiting for? A love that will last forever?

“When can I see you again?” She pried, summoning her last drop of courage. “Next time” He replied, biting his lower lips to prevent himself from blushing. “When is the next time?” She continued. He grinned, but remained mum. Six years later, she still could never forget the image of his endearing figure standing before her when she was barely twelve years old, with his handsome face that shone brightly like the fierce sun. Eighteen year old Ariadne, got admission into Leyland university in a different city to pursue a life of her dreams; to get closer to Denver, as close as possible.

Can such a simple wish come so easy?

Después de que la amiga de la infancia de mi prometido descubriera que nací con una enfermedad cardíaca, vertió en secreto una bebida energética de alta dosis en mi champán. En cuanto lo bebí, mi corazón se aceleró y un dolor punzante se extendió por mi pecho. Presa del pánico, abrí mi única medicación de emergencia, pero el agua que usaba para tomarla había sido reemplazada por agua con limón fuerte. En cuanto lo bebí, palidecí. Perdí todas las fuerzas y me desplomé en el suelo. —El agua con limón está llena de vitamina C. Ayuda con la resaca y te mantiene saludable. Charlotte Whitmore se rio tanto que casi se dobló. Con los brazos cruzados, miró a mi prometido, Ethan Cross, el jefe de los Rolling Stones, un grupo de la mafia. —¡Ethan, la actuación de tu prometida es increíble! Llevo años siendo doctora y nunca he visto a nadie reaccionar así a un poco de champán y agua con limón. Me mordí el labio hasta que noté el sabor a sangre. El dolor me picaba en los ojos y me aferré a la pierna de Ethan. —Cariño, por favor, ¡llama a una ambulancia! Ya no aguanto más... Por un instante, su expresión vaciló, pero los invitados lo interrumpieron rápidamente. —¡Vamos, deja de fingir! Nadie se muere por un poco de champán y agua con limón. —Sí, solo estás celosa de que a Charlotte la ascendieran y no quisiste brindar por ella. El rostro de Ethan se volvió frío de nuevo. Me soltó la mano de un tirón y se apartó. —Charlotte es doctora. Estarás bien con ella aquí. Dejé de suplicar y le escribí a mi padre pidiéndole ayuda.

Zacharias Goldman's second-in-command was a young and beautiful Beta. His friends, thinking he had never done anything to the Beta, often laughed at his incompetence. "She's a cute female. Are you sure you can hold it back?" Zacharias leaned into the back of the couch lazily. His voice was oozing with nonchalance. "I can't. She's… delicious." That shocked the crowd. Mikhail Crosswing, his best friend, whistled. "And I thought you were loyal to the end. Loyal to Lucilla. She's going to raise hell if she finds out." Zacharias chortled. "Ah, yes, she can be a headache when she does that. That's why you boys need to cover for me. The bonding ceremony is in three days. I don't want anything to go wrong." The boys cackled and promised they would keep their mouths sealed. I was standing right outside the door. I heard everything, but all I did was leave in silence. The mate ring was still in my hand, but the bonding ceremony was not going to happen.

On the night of my fifth wedding anniversary with Sebastian Gray, he lit up the entire city with fireworks for me. All our friends kept saying what a wonderful man he was—so loving, so romantic. The kind of husband every woman dreams of. At the grand finale, the fireworks burst into words that lit up the night sky: Happy Birthday, Jen. Jennifer Kingsley was Sebastian's first love, his ideal woman, the one who had always lingered in his heart. Sebastian looked at me, his expression almost sheepish. "Ah, it's Jen's birthday too. They must have mixed up the fireworks." That night, Jennifer posted on her social media: "Men are boys till the day they die, always fumbling their way through romance." She added a picture of the fireworks, along with a photo of her and Sebastian standing close under the dazzling display. I liked her post and left a comment: "From school to altar—what a touching love story. When's the wedding?"
