Anne's POVI could not believe what had happened, I raised my hopes up and genuinely thought we could start afresh as a real couple. how naive can I be. I actually knew he loved someone else but there is that little part in me that believed I could turn the tables around. Tears kept flowing uncontrollably and Luna kept soothing me trying to calm me down. At one point she had tried to go beat the shit out of Megan but I stopped her. I could tell she wasn't going to accept Megan like she accepted me. I sat on the bed and held her hands, " I knew Luke loved someone else from the beginning, but I fell in love with him when I wasn't supposed to. you shouldn't blame him, I did this on myself, last night I finally thought there was hope for us and that's what hurts me the most but don't worry, I'll be alright." "I will never accept her as my sister-in-law. you're my only sister, " Luna responded hugging me tightly and I felt her sadness and I regretted that I didn't get to spend much time w
"you can't go inside miss, please wait at the reception.." She was lost in her own world. She didn't even hear what the nurse said next. She walked back to the reception, her head down, her eyes filled with tears, she had cried all the way to the hospital. She sat down, lost deep in thoughts. She didn't understand how this happened. Wasn't her own father always warning her to be careful on the road? Why did he end up like that? Hit by unknown car and left to die on the road. Wasn't he careful himself? She couldn't find an answer. She remembered how she had been called and how she had picked up the phone thinking it was her father only to hear a strange voice. She left work in a hurry to the place she had been told her dad was. On arriving there, she found a crowd of people but no one was helping the almost lifeless middle-aged man on the ground. She cried for help but no one helped. Her father
On the other side of the road at a distance, a young man was coming out of a luxurious restaurant, it was the Blue Eagle Restaurant. Only the wealthiest could afford a meal at this restaurant. He walked towards a very expensive and oppressive car, followed closely by two other men. This were his body guards, dressed in black suits. One could tell from a distance that they were highly trained to keep their boss safe. One of the men rushed forward and opened the rare door for the young man, he then closed the door carefully and went for the driver's seat. The other body guard looked around several times and stepped into the passenger side and the car left the premises. A short distance from the restaurant, there was a commotion and a crowd of people had gathered and were whispering among themselves, a young lady waving frantically caught the attention of the young man and he ordered the driver to stop. He stepped out o
She stood up hurriedly and rushed to meet the doctors, " how's my father, how's he doing, is he safe?" "Calm down first miss, your father was badly injured and had lost a lot of blood. You did well to bring him just in time, he is now out of danger but will need time to heal, he has not woken up yet but you can see him for now. Don't say anything that will stress him, he needs to completely heal." She thanked the doctor and went inside the room where her dad was. He was still sleeping, looking much better than how she had earlier found him. She held his hand and tears fell from her eyes. He was the only person she had in the entire world, her mother had died when she was young and her father had cared for her alone. She could not bare seeing him in that condition, her heart was broken in pieces.. she wanted to hug him and never let go. Just then, the door opened and the receptionist walked in holding some papers. "This is w
She opened her mouth to speak but nothing came out, she looked at the man, was he insane? He barely know me! She stood up, thought of leaving but decided against it. Was he joking? "What kind of contract, you barely know me!" "I don't need to know you, you only have to sign the contract and follow the rules, I'll make the payment right away." "How can I sign a contract I don't know anything about?" She asked. "It's a marriage contract, I don't have to explain anything about it. You will be my wife for a year, after that we can go our separate ways, the rules are you move in with me and act as my wife whenever we are in public. In my house, you will have a separate room, and everything you need will be provided. I will pay a hundred thousand dollars once you sign the contract. Think carefully and let me know your answer." Her eyes were now wide open, she could not hide the look on her face. A hundred thousand dollars? That will take her several years to save w
She was in a big luxurious room, decorated with beautiful flowers and modern design. There were three girls around her, one was doing her hair, the other was applying her make up and the last one was doing her manicure. There was a very beautiful golden wedding dress in front of her. She kept on admiring it, it was really beautiful. There was a knock on the door and a man's face popped in. It was her father. "Are you ready yet my princess, we are almost late, or have you changed your mind?" She laughed at the joke, "do you want me to change my mind dad? I don't mind living with you for the rest of my life." " My baby is now all grown up, I cannot keep holding her back . Hurry up now, your soon-to-be husband must not wait for long." He then left to give her time for the final touches. It was now time to put on the gown. The girls helped her with it, she looked elegant. So b
"Dad, there's something I need to tell you, I cannot tell you all about it now but when the time is right, I Will explain everything." "What is bothering my princess so much?" "I got married today dad, it's a little complicated but I promise to tell you all about it when the time comes." "What! Are you insane, get married when your father is dying in the hospital?" This was too much, what had she done? Was it because of him? Had he brought this on her? "Dad, I'm sorry about all this. Please don't get mad, it's not good for your health." He could not believe what had happened, but he knew he could not change her mind now. He could at least know the man who had married her daughter in his absence. " Who is he?" He tried to calm down. "His name is Luke Maxwell, the CEO of Blue Eagle. He is a good man dad, you will love him once you get to know him." She did not want to stress her father anymore so she decided to ease things a little. If her father learns
She turned and looked at her parents with pleading eyes, " please mum and dad, let me stay with brother Luke for a while." " If you promise to be good, you can stay for a month with your brother." They loved her too much to deny her anything. She jumped and hugged him again then thanked her parents and hugged them. "I'm really hungry, let's eat first then I can go and pack my stuff." She couldn't hide the excitement. They all settled down and soon dinner was served. " Mum, there was someone you wanted me to meet, who was it?" Luke asked. "She left in a hurry before you arrived. She said something urgent came up. Son, you will love her when you two meet. I have made a reservation at White Jade restaurant tomorrow evening for your first date." "Mum, we talked about this already, I can't keep on going on dates with girls you like, I can only marry someone I love. Stop forcing me to do this to please you. Besides, I have a wife." "You have what? How comes you have a wife and we don't
