A loud banging on the door woke me up the next day. At first, I ignored it, praying that whoever was the culprit would take the silent answer as a cue and leave but the sound only intensified. When the knocking was beginning to give me a headache, I forced myself out of bed to turn whoever was at the door away.I opened the door just as Xavier was about to knock again. His fist stopped midway as he saw me. He made a quick scan of me before he dropped the hand and looked me squarely in the eyes. When he didn't say anything for a minute, I looked away from him, feeling a little shy. He just saw me when I woke up with all my messy hair and puffy eyes.My eyes fell on his chest and I saw the sparkling white shirt he had on along with a polka dot red and black tie. I allowed myself the luxury of letting my eyes roam down his long legs and the red trouser he had on, then straight down to his black polished shoes. I could tell that he was still going to wear his red suit once he was ready to

"Never thought I would see the day when my dearest Hailey would fall into sin. I mean she didn't just fall, she fell deep into it," Susie chuckled at me when it was just the two of us left.Of course, by now, you all should know that Susie was not just a devil incarnate, she was the devil herself. I, however, refused to give in to her taunting. I knew she just wanted me to say a word, then she could continue to make fun of me. Who was I kidding? With the characteristics of the woman I had chosen to be my best friend, I knew she would make fun of me for the rest of our lives."Churchy girl?" She called again.Do you guys see what I'm talking about?I took a glance at her and she raised a brow at me, "Tell me how it feels touching a dick for the first time," she said. Her voice held the excitement of a little child just exploring their world. "Come on, tell. Tell, tell, tell, you tight lips human." She singsong. "Don't hide things from your best friend."Knowing I would never hear the

After my lady maid was done dressing me up, I refused to go out for breakfast. My mind kept reminding me about the incident with Brenda the previous day and how I would regret it if I skipped my meals again but the thought of sitting at the same table with Xavier to have a meal rooted me in a spot.How could I even face him after our little performance?"Mrs. Lowell?" I heard my lady maid call me and I looked at her. "Mr. Lowell is not home and neither are the two Lowell elders." She informed me.My relief was visible as I let out the breath I didn't know I was holding. Even though I was curious about where they all went so early in the morning without even having their breakfasts, I was glad there would be no battle that morning. I switched on my phone and read the numerous messages Duncan dropped for me about grandma Margaret's burial and I sighed.At the junction where j was, I had no other choice than to just let it all go. I called Susie on the phone to remind her about the cerem

"Didn't you all hear my question? I said, who had the audacity to disrespect my wife?" He barked at everyone again.I tugged at the sleeve of his shirt which was now a powdered blue instead of white. I didn't fail to notice that his tie was gone too and his trouser was now black instead of red. This means he had changed before coming here."The media people are filming," I reminded him."I know." He answered me. "No one to answer?" He asked again.I heard Susie click her tongue loudly and I buried my head deeper into Xavier's shirt, knowing the chaos my best friend was about to cause. She would fuel Xavier's burning anger."It's her," she pointed to Celine first. "And her." Her middle finger rested on Laura whom I now remembered her name. "They both dared to call Hailey a whore." She said."Have you no shame, Celine? To insult a woman like you? And then, dragging her family into the insults?" Xavier reprimanded the woman."No shame at all," Susie coughed out.Celine looked like she wo

And of course, we all managed to get home without one murdering the other. Hallelujah. Susie and I sat on one end of the backseat of the car while Xavier and his friend sat on the other end of the seat. However, the moment we stepped out of the car, Seth crossed over to Susie."Hi." He said to her."Fuck off!" Susie warned him."Why do you hate me without even getting to know me?" Seth asked her.Rather than a reply, I heard Susie hissed loudly before she promptly disappeared into the house, leaving a dazed Seth gawking at her behind which I'm sure she purposely sahayshed for the man."Bye guys," Seth said barely ten seconds later before he ran after Susie.Then, it was just Xavier and I walking alone to the door. I didn't know what to say to the man, so I just kept walking, albeit a little too fast."Running away, Hailey?" He called after me. "I'm not," I argued but I didn't slow down or even wait for him to catch up."Really?" He chuckled. A few quick steps sounded behind me and th

I went inside the house and the first person I saw was Brenda who smirked at me. From her smug face, I could tell that she heard every argument that occurred between her son and me. I was not in the mood to talk to her, so I just went straight to the stairs."Did you really think you could get away with treating me wrongly?" Her voice stopped me. "My son loves me a lot more than for you to get away with maltreating me."I turned around to face her, "Congratulations to you, Brenda," I told her. "By the way, I hoped your mother-in-law was a mother-in-war to you the same way you are to me?" I asked her. I spread my hands to the iron made for the stairs. "Because I don't know why you have nothing but hatred for me for a marriage that would only last three months.""You took money from my son. That shows that you are nothing but a wimp who would stop at nothing to attain great height." She accused. "I have to make sure this house feels too hot for you to start having any second thoughts ab

By the time I opened my eyes, I was in a strange room. Susie, Seth, my lady maid, Xavier, and even Brenda surrounded me. I was disoriented for a minute and just kept looking at everyone like a zombie."Are you okay, love?" Susie asked me.That one question brought back all the memories I wished would remain lost to my senses. I got up abruptly from the bed I slept in and nearly cursed at the headache I got. Funny how I know curse at almost everything."Are you okay?" Susie asked me again.I shook my head to let her know I wasn't."What's wrong? Are you hurt somewhere?" She asked, checking every part of my body. Tired as I was, I merely pointed to my head. Susie understood and she began to massage my temples for me softly."Thanks," I croaked out after a minute or two. "You're welcome." My best friend sighed."Where am I?" I asked, looking around."First, tell me why you fainted," Susie asked a question of her own instead."Are you back now?" Xavier asked.Shame didn't let me answer h
Billionaire Bride Fifty-six
While we were still waiting for my ex idiotic, deceiving boyfriend to come back, my best friend gave me some of the alcohol to drink. Of course, her crush, who was the waiter, was the one who kept bringing the new bottles of alcohol for us. By the time I was going on 4 cups of alcohol, I was already tipsy and I noticed that Susie was the same as me."Susie, are you sure he will come?" I asked my best friend, uncertain about what the man I thought was my fiance would do. By now, I wasn't sure I knew who the man was. H e c k, I didn't know the man at all. I thought I did but I just learned the error of my way when Brenda told me everything he had done behind my back. Coupled with the fact that he went about having sex with every woman he could find and his he was always absent whenever I needed him the most, I could tell her never cared about me right from the start."Of course, he would.
