The Rejected Bride
“I’ll be back soon. Don’t miss me too much.”
When he left, I locked my door with so much force, I almost pulled the door knob off. But his words remained with me, their words have always remained.
I spent the rest of the day in my room, not even venturing out for my meals. After the morning’s humiliation, I didn’t want to have to face madam Maria and the other staff.
It was the classic fall from grace but in my case I was never at grass.
I had gone from being the cherished bride who, despite what Ibrahim said, had been the object of the minister’s affection…to being someone whose sight he couldn’t stand.
