Alfred was finally hers…..hers until she got what she wanted.

“It’s our engagement party, Zain. Our party. You were supposed to walk downstairs with me tonight, not be up here screwing my best friend like some scumbag!” Elaine. I should’ve known. I did know. But love makes you ignore the signs. And as a PR strategist, I’d learned the hard way that reality often lived in the silence between smiles. “Oh, don’t act surprised, Del,” Elaine said as she adjusted my silk robe around her half-naked body.“You’ve always loved the fairytale. I just offered him something a little more… exciting.” Her words were barbed, but Zain’s silence was worse. He just stood there, buttoning his shirt, indifferent to the nuclear fallout unfolding around us.

Her golden hair was styled flawlessly, a delicate tiara perched atop her head. She radiated elegance and allure, effortlessly captivating everyone in her vicinity. However, when their eyes met, Catherine’s composed demeanor faltered slightly. For a fleeting moment, a hint of irritation crossed her face, quickly replaced by a saccharine grin.

Everything was perfectly kept. But even perfection has small flaws. Even when you're in control, you can still feel a deep wanting. It was one of those nights when I couldn't sleep that led me to search online. I looked at websites with names that sounded like secrets whispered in quiet, forgotten places. That's when I saw him.

He says the right things, does the right things, looks at me like I’m the only woman on earth. I can’t find a single flaw.’ Portia squinted at me. ‘And this is a bad thing because…?’

I muttered. “It will be a marriage for only three months. Your standards shouldn't be that high,” Kelvin responded wittingly. “That's the more reason why it has to be a perfect woman!” I exclaimed. “I have kept a perfect image so far, my marriage won't be the opposite. When the marriage ends, I want the public to say that not even a perfect woman like whoever I pick could end up satisfying me.” Kelvin turned towards me with his arms folded, “And what do you think makes up a perfect woman?”

After she lost her legs for him, her world was limited, and Louis became her everything. That's why she's so extreme. I'm willing to write a letter asking for leniency on her behalf."

“She’s our mate. I had let the most primal instinct take over me in anger and my mind conjured up this image of our mate. Isn’t she the most beautiful female?” His question seemed idiotic to me as my eyes stared at the raw beauty of our mate. “She is the most beautiful and exotic female, I have gotten the pleasure to ever lay my eyes on.

That she will leave me and the path of the two of us will never meet again without me even saying how much I love her and how important she is to me.
