Unforeseen Engagement Novels & Stories

We were very close and that made me feel uncomfortable. "Aileen," I replied. "I am Franco," he replied. "Nice to meet you, Franco," I said over the music. "The pleasure is mine, beautiful." A few more minutes of dancing had an effect on me because I was urinating and I felt that they couldn't take it. I've had like ten margaritas so it's obvious they have to go. "I have to go to the bathroom," I told him. He was looking blurry already and barely even hearing the music.

"Not yet what we hope we'll hear one, we already have a peaceful alliance with them so we are sure to get invited." After my conversations with Zain, I decided to let him be while I strolled around the surroundings. I was surprised that alpha vixen didn't wait till the coronation time to do something about the situation. "It serves him right." I thought as I moved back to my home. I had so many things to prepare for. The journey, the coronation and probably my wedding because I had a feeling I would find my mate soon.

One afternoon, while browsing through a bridal boutique, my phone buzzed. A message from an unknown number: “Be careful. Not everyone is happy about your reunion.” A chill ran down my spine. I looked around, but the boutique was empty except for the sales assistant, who was busy arranging a rack of gowns. I shook off the unease, deciding not to mention it to Justin. I didn’t want to cloud our happiness. The days following our renewed engagement were filled with a blend of excitement and apprehension. Justin and I navigated the delicate balance between rekindled love and shadows of the past.

It will be interesting, but I doubt that it will be fun. Haakon greets me with a friendly smile. The pony that I tended too on my arrival is in a nearby paddock and trots over to the fence. I move to the wooden railing and stroke my hand along her neck. I will not cry. I will not allow myself to cry. I have been unwanted my entire life. This is no different. After giving myself a moment to come to terms with not being wanted, once again, I resume my daily chores. I remain busy for the rest of the day and again avoid both men. Ignoring the dragons is harder since I have a connection with one that both are using.

UNCLE HECTOR: I cannot believe that you are about to halt my efforts after I had to reschedule meetings to reignite your engagement with her. My stomach dropped, engaged??? I swallowed hating the way my guts twisted and the fact that Orian was engaged. I shouldn't feel like this, I shouldn't care about him anymore since he doesn't care about me and I thought I had finally talked myself out of fancying him. Why did the news of him being engaged feel worse than that one time I went to get a pie with my parents and someone walked right past us out of the shop with the pie in his hand, it was the last one?

Susan suggested. "I am going to do that. I think I can twit; Harsh tag, I am at Diamond Corporation CEO and HR's engagement. I am going to be next with my handsome better half Bernard, also from Diamond Corporation. What do you think?" Eva asked. "It's perfect. And do get exclusive news on your upcoming wedding too," Susan said. Back at Bryce's place, Bryce was very angry. "What do you mean I am supposed to proceed with a court signing after the engagement announcement?" Bryce questioned.

**flash back** It was the day before my birthday, I was so excited because Alex was going to take me to a concert where akon would be preforming. I called up ma girl Kacie to accompany me to the mall to get a nice dress to wear tomorrow night on my birthday.

I asked happily

Just a few days ago I left a ball with two men, after staring lustily at another woman’s husband. And then only yesterday I was right on the TV screen in the living room of half the world, flirting with a staffer about which there is already much speculation in social circles. And then, boom, a totally unexpected engagement today.

Business partners. Political figures. People I had never spoken to personally. Some congratulated us genuinely. Others clearly viewed the engagement as something more strategic. A merger.

Aiden barely looked up from his laptop. “It is.” “And you’re okay with that?” “No.” I looked at him. “Then why are you calm?” “Because most of these people are predictable.”

The screen held me face and his side by side like it had always been that way. “Engaged?” “Killian Wolfe Shocks Business World With Surprise Engagement.” “Insiders Confirm: It’s Not Just a Fling.” I stared at the screen What engagement?
