Bride for Rent Dance of Redemption
Later that night, Nate went to the bar where Ethel was working. Ethel, the bartender, noticed Nate's intense expression as he approached the bar. She greeted him with a professional smile, accustomed to reading the moods of the patrons. "What can I get you, Mister?" she asked, pouring herself into her work. Nate leaned against the bar, his eyes fixed on the array of bottles before him. "Give me another tequila. Keep them coming." Ethel raised an eyebrow, studying Nate with a discerning gaze. "Rough night?" Nate nodded, a bitter smile playing on his lips. "You could say that. Sometimes, the past has a way of catching up with you, no matter how hard you try to outrun it." Ethel poured another shot of tequila, sliding it towards Nate. "Well, you're in the right place for a drink. Sometimes, it helps to drown the sorrows, even if just for a moment." As Nate downed the tequila, the burning sensation seemed to echo the fire within him. "I appreciate the advice, Ethel. It's just... som
Bride for Rent What happened to him?
Ethel remained in bed the next day, thinking about that kiss. The recollection of Nate's intense look, the vulnerability in his eyes, and their unexpected bond on the dance floor lingered in her mind. She was filled with excitement and uncertainty as the previous night's events repeated themselves in her head like a vivid dream. A smile slowly formed on the corner of her lips as her mind reminded the past events. She never thought that Nate would confess to her, it was unexpected, but she was happy that he opened up to her. The following evening, Ethel found herself back behind the bar, the memories of the previous night still fresh in her mind. She went about her work, mixing drinks and engaging in casual banter with the patrons. However, her thoughts kept drifting back to Nate and the unspoken connection they had shared on the dance floor. As the night progressed, and the bar grew busier, Ethel couldn't shake the anticipation of seeing Nate again. She glanced at her phone, reali
Bride for Rent The man who hurt her
Nate's apology hung in the air, devoid of the solace Ethel sought. As he turned to walk away, the distance between them seemed to widen with each step. The bar, once a place of shared moments and unspoken connection, now echoed with the hollow sound of footsteps against the cold floor. Ethel stood there, rooted to the spot, her eyes fixed on Nate's retreating figure. The pain of rejection pierced through her, and she felt a lump forming in her throat. The vibrant hues of the bar, once filled with the promise of something more, now seemed muted and desolate. Tears welled up in Ethel's eyes as she struggled to comprehend the abrupt unraveling of what she thought was a genuine connection. The silence in the bar was shattered by the muffled sound of her stifled sobs. "Nate, please," she called out, her voice choked with emotion. "You can't just walk away like this. We shared something real." Nate paused for a moment, his back still turned to her. There was a lingering hesitation, as i

A month later... Marianne received an invitation in the mail. It was an exhibition by Miguel Lopez, showcasing his latest works. Intrigued and grateful for the unexpected connection forged through his art, Marianne decided to attend the exhibit. The venue was filled with an array of paintings, each telling a unique story. As Marianne navigated through the gallery, she couldn't help but marvel at the depth and emotion captured in Miguel's artwork. It was as if each painting whispered a different tale, inviting the observer to explore the intricacies of the human experience. As she turned a corner, Marianne froze. There, amidst the vivid canvases, she spotted a painting that felt achingly familiar. It was her, once again, captured in a moment of vulnerability, standing on the beach. The turbulent sea, the hues of the sunset, and the resilience in her eyes were all vividly portrayed. Miguel noticed her presence and approached with a warm smile. "Marianne, I'm glad you could make it.

Marianne tried to focus on the menu, her eyes occasionally darting towards Felix, who maintained a composed facade.Miguel, seemingly oblivious to the tension, initiated a small talk about the paintings, attempting to steer the conversation toward neutral ground. Marianne and Felix exchanged polite nods and forced smiles, all the while acutely aware of the shared history that lingered beneath the surface.As the waiter brought the dishes to the table, Miguel, with genuine enthusiasm, suggested a particular seafood dish for Marianne. "You should try the crab, Marianne. It's one of their specialties, and I think you'll love it."Miguel, in his friendly and hospitable manner, was about to place a serving of crab on Marianne's plate. However, just as the crab was inches away from landing on her plate, Felix intervened with a polite but
Bride for Rent The unexpected visit
The following day, Marianne was still thinking about the event last night. She sighed deeply and shook her head, "What am I doing? Why am I still thinking about him? He's nothing to me. We're over, what we had before was just pure business." On the other hand, Felix had a business trip and it was near Emma's house, Marianne's mother. He was still on his way as he stopped at a flower shop to buy her some flowers and planned to visit her. As Felix drove towards Emma's house, his mind was still processing the unexpected encounter with Marianne. The memories of their past, both the joys and the pains, lingered in his thoughts. He hoped that the business trip and the visit to Emma's would provide a welcome distraction. Upon arriving at Emma's house, Felix hesitated. He walks back and forth while carrying the flowers. As he was about to walk away, he heard a voice behind him. "What can I do for you?" it was a voice that he knew. As he slowly turned his back on her, he smiled and his e

Meanwhile, Felix arrived at the venue where the meeting would be held. The professional setting provided a welcome distraction for Felix. He immersed himself in the discussions and tasks at hand, trying to push aside the lingering emotions from the encounter at Emma's house. As the day progressed, he found himself engrossed in business matters, temporarily setting aside the personal complexities that seemed to follow him. "Are you okay, Felix? You look distracted?" Nate, his secretary asked him. Felix looked up from his work, realizing that his mind had drifted back to the tumultuous encounter with Marianne. He forced a small smile, attempting to brush off the concern. "I'm fine, Nate. Just had a bit of a personal matter on my mind. Let's focus on the tasks at hand." Nate nodded, understanding that sometimes personal issues could seep into professional life. As the night unfolded, Felix and Nate went to a local bar. He wanted to drink to forget about Marianne, and how she reacted
Bride for Rent The night they shared
As Nate turned to leave, Marianne walked towards Felix. Marianne hesitated for a moment, conflicted by the vulnerability in Felix's intoxicated state. She couldn't ignore the sincerity in his words, even if they were blurred by the effects of alcohol. Taking a deep breath, she continued to clean his face, her movements gentle yet tinged with a sense of resignation. His eyes half-opened, and a faint smile lingered on his lips. His hands reached out, seeking hers, and in that vulnerable moment, Marianne felt a twinge of the complicated emotions that had defined their shared history. Felix's voice slurred as he mumbled, "I... still love you." Marianne froze, her heart skipping a beat at Felix's confession. The words hung in the air, their weight echoing through the room. She stopped wiping off his face and was about to leave when Felix's hands reached out to her and grabbed her closer to him. She could smell the alcohol from his mouth. They were inches apart.
