Accidentally in love Heartache on standby
ChloeAlthough I was involved with organizing the wedding from the beginning, my surprise at how the venue turned out was genuinely pleasant. Tables were already set and decorated with a charming combination of white flowers, while the altar and the chairs covered with silk were being placed as we arrived.Gina chose the most prominent spot - the Greystone Mansion. It started as a joke when she declared she wouldn’t settle for anything less than the most expensive venue, and Ryan went and made reservations. Later, she protested and wanted to cancel, but her future husband did his magic and convinced her it was, in fact, the perfect place to say their vows.The hairstylist and make-up artist were already there, and they started working on Gina the moment we entered the apartment preordained for the bride. Even though they insisted on dolling me up, I categorically refused; too much color never looked good on me. So I opted for bolder eyeliner and red lipstick, a combination that never
Accidentally in love You won
Chloe‘I warned you,’ stared at me from the screen. What a marvelous ‘good morning.’Cold sweat dewed my skin, and I shivered in angst.The message didn’t need to be signed for me to know who sent it. Molly. Damned Molly and damned be the day I met her.I didn’t have to be a rocket scientist to conclude what those words meant - the dance. Gina’s wedding was big. A few hundred people were present, and it was not impossible she had her ‘spy’ there. Anyone could’ve been her eyes there.Why was Molly so persistent in her endeavor to separate me from Gabriel? Why was she going to such lengths to scare me off? I failed to understand her reasoning, no matter how much I thought about it. Then again, I wasn’t a psychopath, so the chances of me figuring out her thought process were slim to none. Either way, I was seriously starting to worry about what she could do.With my nervousness reaching its limits, I got ready and headed downstairs. The world wouldn’t stop turning just because my life be
Accidentally in love The other home
ChloeI couldn’t say that the night behind me was easy - it was everything but.However, knowing I did the right thing helped me stay on course and not drown in sorrow. I was sad, and I missed him like crazy; hell, even my bedsheets bore the memory of him… they still smelled of him. But I wasn’t falling apart. I could navigate my life without Gabriel while loving him the same.When I thought about it, it was high time I visited the old family cottage at Lake Alice. I spent many vacations with my parents there, and many great memories tied me to that place. After they died, Grandma and I decided to sell the Seattle house, but I couldn’t say goodbye to the cottage. I hadn’t been there for a few years, and now was a perfectly good moment to revisit the past.Little before 8 o’clock, I headed downstairs, wanting to start early. But truth be told, I was getting eager to see Abby, and that eagerness was not letting me sit still and wait.Just as I had hoped, not an hour later, my coworkers
Accidentally in love Unexpected guest
GabrielChloe Danvers.Woman that made me fall in love like I never thought was possible. Woman that drove me crazy. Woman that made my life hell.No matter the time I spent thinking about what made her slam the door right into my face, I failed to figure out why. Because Chloe would never shut me out of her life for no reason. Especially not after proclaiming her love for me.Could it all be fake? Was she lying all along? An iron fist of doubt clenched around my heart for a second, but I willed it away. No, she never lied to me; she was a book opened for me to read.What happened that day? It wasn’t that stupid kiss Molly surprised me with. No, it couldn’t be. Chloe had to know I would never change her for Molly. Molly wasn’t worth standing in her shadow.I was missing something, and I had to figure out what it was if I wanted to get her back. That’s why I decided to give her the space she asked for while I turned every stone, searching for the answers.And as luck would have it, I w
Accidentally in love No time to waste
Gabriel“Gabriel, son!” Douglas exclaimed when he came to greet me.Butler followed behind Scott, more loyal to him than his own shadow.I ignored the offered hand and moved to take a seat - I wasn’t here for the pleasantries; we passed that stage eons ago. “Where are your wife and daughter?”“Oh,” a glider of hope sparked his eye. “Arabella is here, and Molly should arrive at any moment.” A slight nod of his head was a sign enough for the butler to disappear, to call for the house mistress, I presumed. “What brings you here?”His expectations reflected on his face, despite his best efforts to hide them.And I?I was never more grateful for being stuck in a traffic jam than today. Moving at a snail’s pace through the city allowed me to calm down and collect myself. No matter how tempting burning down everything in my way was, I should play it smart. Enjoying the sweet taste of violence was a luxury I could not afford - the aftertaste would not feel half as good as the one waiting for
Accidentally in love Haven
ChloeTo say that I regretted not coming to the lake more often would be an understatement of the year! Or at least hiring an agency to clean the cottage occasionally. Because this? This was a total disaster!If anyone told me before I arrived that so much dust could exist in one place, I would’ve laughed loudly! But the dust did not laugh back at me.Not wasting any time, I pulled the heavy curtains to the side, revealing windows and letting light in. Rain was still drizzling, but the Sun chased away the clouds, silently promising a change of weather.As I assessed my surroundings and planned what to do first, coldness seeped through my clothes and raised my skin in goosebumps. I shivered and remembered the basement; some dry firewood should be stored there.A few moments later, I was walking down the stairs of the place that scared the shit out of me when I was a kid. Today? Well, I would lie if I said I was indifferent to the creatures that could be hiding in the shadows. But someo
Accidentally in love Lost and found
Chloe“I know you can hear me, Chloe!” Gabriel roared as I stood in place, petrified, unable to move. “I won’t repeat myself!”I was never scared of him, not even when he confronted me that first morning he woke up in my home. And I had to admit that wasn’t the most pleasant sight.But now? Now it was a different story altogether.The door separating us was no obstacle to the waves of rage that rolled off him and struck me, shaking the ground I was standing on. I shivered in fear and anticipation at the same time as I reached for the knob; there was no doubt in my mind that the thin wood would end up scattered around in splinters if I didn’t comply with his demand.‘Man up, Chloe! It’s not some psycho killer there, but Gabriel! The man you love!’ so I pulled the handle.My eyes landed on the fuming figure, partially concealed by darkness, adding more weight to the anvil pressing my heart.Waiting for no invitation, Gabe stormed inside and shut the door behind him, locking them swiftly
Accidentally in love Not the same man
ChloeI didn’t remember falling asleep; being in the arms of the man I loved with all my heart did wonders for my sleeping habits. Without recalling how I ended up on the soft makeshift bed in front of the fireplace, I woke up rested and energized - with a million questions and a few apologies waiting.Panic hit me when I failed to feel his heat - could it all have been a dream? Was it just a symptom of my addiction to him? A part of coming down from the high and clearing him out of my system? But my fear was short-lived as the refreshing coffee aroma filled the room and reached my nostrils, chasing away my doubts.Gabriel was here. He found me. He came for me… he loved me.“You’re awake! Good.” He urged me to make space for him, and I shifted, leaning against the old couch.A moment later, Gabriel was nested beside me, offering me one of the mugs I accepted gladly.A few sips of steaming black liquid to clear my thoughts were all I allowed myself before I spoke.“I’m sorry, Gabe.” I
