"Reese!" We all yelled upon seeing Reese at the doorframe. We are all teary-eyed upon knowing she went here. Upon knowing she'll going to attend my wedding, when we all know she doesn't want to be here. As they witnessed my tears, they teased me, causing me to cry even harder. Reese inched our distance and immediately give me a tight hug. "I'm sorry if I told you I couldn't be here," she said, more like a whisper. And me, pouting like a child, just murmur while she's still hugging me. "I thought you can't attend?" I say like a kid who's having a tantrum. I can hear her groaned. "Ah, I can't resist you, bitch. That's why I'm here," she playfully say, teasing me. But because I know her too well, I just laugh it off. "It's really an advantage if someone like you can't resist me, huh?" I say, sounding like bragging which made them, especially Reese to just hissed at me. I laughed. This is the moment wherein I couldn't believe that this day would come, that even Reese told me she
Aliana Blaire's Point of View"Congratulations on your wedding, newlywed couple!" Amari welcomed us a congratulatory greet as soon as she approached us.We started talking on our special guests and we're still here, stuck on talking to them. I'm just glad my group of friends came in. My weariness disappears when I talk to them. My awkwardness fades when they're around. It is way different when I'm with them. I don't know. I just feel like I'm being fake to our guests when in fact I didn't think like that as I talk to them. It's still different when you talk to people you're always with, it's more comfortable on that way. You feel like you can be free to show who exactly you are."Thank you, Mari," I wholeheartedly responded. When her gaze turned to the man on my side, I immediately look at him to see his reaction. There, I saw how he casually stared on my friends, as if nothing happened before, in between us all."Congratulations, August. After years of break up, who would have though
Aliana Blaire's Point of View"Hija, where's August? He should be here in the reception area to take care of the guests," says Aunt Nicolette who has been looking for August."I'll look for him, Aunt," I say as I guarantee on looking for August."Oh please do, hija. Thank you," Aunt Nicolette says her gratitude that I just smile about.I immediately leave the reception area to look for August. I looked for him in every corner of the room, yet I can't find him. And when my eyes laid on the dressing room, the only room that I haven't opened yet, I took a deep breath before approaching to the door.Just as I lift my hand to hold the doorknob to open the door, I've heard the unexpected sound I couldn't imagine I would be hearing now.A deafening sound.A hysterical moan of the girl, as if she's been sent to heaven for tasting such the best recipe she could ever have.And that recipe is my husband.I tighten my grip on the doorknob. I closed my eyes to find my strength as of the moment yet
"AB, look at Archie's face and put your right hand at his chest."I followed AC's commands, our photographer. I looked up at Archie and put my hand on his chest. As usual, he fixed his position and leaned closer to me. The two of us stared at each other as if we're romantically attracted. Just then, I heard the camera clicks."Perfect!" I smirk and fist-bumped Archie before leaving the set. I approached my personal assistant at took the small fan before going to AC to look at the photos taken during the photoshoot. "You really nailed it, huh?" AC amazedly commented while looking at her taken photos of us making me shrug, bragging.It wasn't eluded on AC's eyes making her smirk and shook her head."AB, tell me the truth..." AC trailed off as she smirked at me, giving me a different eyelook. "What's the real deal between the two of you? Is there something going on? Mutual understanding? Like that? The two of you stared at each other differently earlier, it's as if the two of you were
"Marry Augustine's son, darling. That's all I could think that would solve our problem."I stiffened on my seat. "Who among the Alquezer brothers are you referring to, Dad?" I nervously asked.Dad smiled at me. "It's August, darling."I felt like I had been hit a million times. What the heck?! Why the fuck did it have to be August? Why of all people, he's the one I should marry off?Why my ex boyfriend?I immediately stood up from my sweviling chair. "No freaking way! There's no way that I'll be marrying him off! No way, Dad! I could accept anyone, but him!" I exaggeratedly exclaimed, trying my luck to stop the shit that I am hearing.I saw how Dad heaved a deep sigh on my reaction. I averted my gaze. I got a little conscience knowing I jut raised my voice on Dad. This is the first time that I had raised my voice towards him."Why did it have to be him?" I say in frustration. "Why do I have to marry my ex boyfriend?" I say, more like a murmur.Dad sighed and looked at me. "We don't ha
"Why don't you ask for his help?" she suddenly stated which made me crinkle my forehead."Whose help?" I confusingly asked.In a smirk, she pointed the television using her lips and there, I saw an unexpected familiar face of a man.It's August Alquezer. He is a visitor on one of the most talked show in the world."Everyone, we have August Alquezer, one of the richest business tycoon in the whole world," the host introduced August as soon as he entered the stage with the cameras following and capturing his fucking face.The host and interviewer stood up as soon as August came in. "Thank you for your time to accept our invitation on this interview, Mr. Alquezer," the interviewer showed her gratitude and respect to my fucking ex boyfriend."And thank you for having me, Miss Gina," he responded which gain a sneer on me.A public stunt. As if he's that kind and respectful."We won't be beating around the bush. I know and I knew you know how much the viewers are eager to know about the thi
I slept restlessly that night. I was weighing things of what might the possibilities if I would marry August or not.If I would marry him, I'm sure I'll be living my life in hell. Knowing him, he knows how to play the life of every woman. Even if we'll say he doesn't have anything to me, but I know too much that he'll hurt me, in any possible way.But if I wouldn't marry him, our company would fully lost its race. And it might be possible that the company that my mother had valued enough would vanish on our hands.I closed my eyes tightly and the things that have been running on my head totally occupied me. When back to reality, I stood up and walked downstairs, only to welcome with the silence of the house.I searched for Mom and saw her on the kitchen. "Where's Dad, Mom? Why is it so silent in here?"Mom glanced at me at the door frame and smiled at me. "Your Dad leave the house early. He's meeting some acquaintances. He's also finding a way to save our company, sweetheart," says Mo
"I don't know," I say, more like a whisper."Why don't you agree on the proposal? Marry him," Leia stated which made me look at her."Tell me Leia. How do I marry him if he had played me before? How am I able to look at his face while we were living on one roof? That would be a nightmare," I say which made them go silent."Do you still love him?" Leia suddenly asked which made me panic. "W-What kind of question is that, Leia? Of course not! How am I able to love someone who played my heart before? I would never allow myself to get played, again. Not again," I firmly said.I felt uneasy when I saw how they gave me a different eyelook. "What?" I exclaimed. "What's with the stares?" I confronted them."You're lying," Reese stated after staring at me for a moment. "You still love him. No matter how worst he played your heart, you still love him. He still have a place on your heart, Blaire."I immediately went silent after that. Out of all my friends, Reese was the one to easily read my
