I thought I was the one he loved.
But a few days before our wedding, I saw him in a way I never had before. His eyes softened as he spoke to her. His first love, and the very woman who had left him in pieces. I was the one who healed him. Or so I thought.
Heartbreak was something I knew too well. And as I watched the love he still held for h...

"You're trembling," he said softly.
I was unable to talk. Then, slowly I felt his fingers move up my thigh. They moved under my dress, brushing past the soft skin. I shivered. His fingers slid higher, between my legs.
I inhaled sharply. Without asking, he located my panties and pushed them away. He ran his fingers along my slit, slow at first. I bit my lip, trying to stay still. He circled my clit once, twice, then dipped lower. A finger slid inside me without warning.
"You saw what you are not...

Let's see, this will be the 27th time I've had to pretend I've had an orgasm?
I'm not sure that anyone, aside from myself, will ever get me to cu.m again, not since him. Is this what s*x is going to be like the rest of my life? If so, shoot me now.
I would like to believe that I could keep to myself rather than continue this hopeless journey, but here I am, hovering over Kyle's face in hopes I'm wrong and he has somehow figured out how to bring me the pleasure I so desperately seek.
Nope. Nothi...

"Marry me."
What the hell?
"Put this on tomorrow," he expained, "You're going to tell the press that Bella cheated on me, and that's when we started dating. When Bella found out, she tried to break us up. When that didn't work, she blackmailed you into posting the photo. That way, it looks like I hate you- but we've already reconciled."

"Madeline, you are still pregnant, aren't you?"
I stared at her, she was still—unresponsive.
"Madeline, the baby is still in there, inside your god-damned womb, isn't he, my voice rising several decibels."
Still, no response.
"Madeline!!!," I growled. I demand an answer.
You are still with my child, right?"
This time, she looked up at me, fear flickering in her eyes, and I could see the defiance there too.
She responded with a negative shake of her head.
I just laughed, a cold hu...

Cristelle looked the man directly in the eyes, "They're my life. I won't leave them behind, no matter what. You don't need to waste your breath. I won't give my babies to you, no matter what you say. I know you're the father, but you've never done anything for them before. Mr. Bradley, please let us go. We won't see you again. Just pretend that we've never met each other before."
Linford looked sad as he whispered, "No, it's not gonna happen. I won't allow you to slip away again." He paused bef...

His eyes traveled all over my body, from head to toe. It made me self-conscious for some reason.
"The dress fits you well," then he paused and murmured, looking at the floor. "I
was wondering if you'd like it or not." "Huh?"
His head turned to me again as if he was freed from a trance.
"So now will you tell me what I have to do for you, sir?" I said sarcastically. "What?" He looked at me with surprise.
"What? You have to have some purpose for keeping me here by force," I said, pressing on...

The Sunlight shone upon her tired face. She opened her eyes wearily and felt weak and tired. The sun rays poured into her eyes, and she shut them quickly.
Gradually she opened her eyes gently and allowed it to adjust to the light in her surroundings. Where is she?
She raised herself to a sitting position and tried remembering what happened. She lifted the quilt and was surprised when she found herself naked. What happened to her? Why is she here? When did she pull off her dress?

As we reached the main road, my father stopped, seemingly waiting for someone.
"Papa, why are we here?" I questioned, my voice trembling.
"Be quiet, Aria. You ask too many questions" he replied, refusing to meet my gaze.
