-Veronica POV-Can’t believe I ran into Gabriella after all these years, And she’s looking very beautiful, but what could be her secret?After many years of disappearing to only God knows where I was expecting to see some shattered human, but unfortunately she looked different from what I expected.Yeah I know I wasn’t a nice friend and all that, but you can’t blame me for what I did, 'cause she’s always getting the best attention, and every guy that comes around me wants to be with her.It wasn’t really easy being her friend but at the same time, the best among every other friend I had around me then, I wondered how I allowed jealousy to destroy what we had.Seeing her again reminded me of a whole lot of things, and I’m just wondering if she would consider having me as a friend ever again, if not besties at least just friendship. I’ve missed a lot.But I don’t know how I could achieve that when she bluntly refused to give me her contact, and even her pleasantries were displeasing a
And I didn’t think it would be that easy and faster, But I guess the universe is working in my favor, now chapter one is sealed.Well, Gabriella should get ready, I’m sure she’s not ready for what’s coming.- Veronica’s POV- I can’t explain what’s going on, because how can I explain, I met Gabriella just earlier today and now Mark is talking to me on the phone.The two people I ruined their relationship? Hmm, unbelievable, but why I’m always a substitute is what I can’t seem to wrap my head around.I’m I not good enough? Will it be a crime if Mark proposes a relationship to me? Can’t I be for keeps?This whole thing is becoming even more depressing than I think, cause how can I be living in misery all my life?Lord please I need my own, I’m tired of all these things happening around me, Okay look at Gabriella that I thought I was doing to get back at, look at how beautiful and rich she’s looking now.Why I’m here still my old self, exactly how she left me, Now he called and wants
It was Richard all this while? What is he now, a spirit? And when did he start walking without making sounds?He scared the hell out of me, I wish I could warn him not to try this with me next time, But unfortunately, he’s my alpha and I won’t dare.“I didn’t know it was you, how long have you been here?”I couldn’t even look at his face while asking him questions, can someone take me back to college, please?I feel like a teenager right whenever I’m around him, I just can’t explain having feelings for two men, at the same time.“Did I get you scared ?” he said looking right at my face but I couldn’t still face him, what should I answer him now, yes or no?Well, I had to pretend to be brave so I kindly told him. “No you didn’t, I thought it was something trying to crawl in, and the kids are downstairs, so I was concerned about them more “.Hmm, why does he smile like that? Gave me the feeling, I know you're scared kinda but didn’t want to say, of course, I’m scared, won’t you be scare
Ok since he already got me what to wear, I should do them, and they look really beautiful by the way, So it won’t be bad doing new things.This is the first time Richard is getting a present for me since this marriage thing began.-Richard’s POV-Why does she always look surprised with everything I do for her? We are in a marriage even though it’s not real but it’s something, so she should get used to whatever happens in it.She’s just full of drama and reacts over everything, I wish I could help keep that in check, but don’t think I have all that time.Well getting her this dress was international, and I wouldn’t mind doing that more often going forward, she’s my wife, right? And everyone believes that, so she should look like it when she’s with me.But it looks like she always overemphasis on little kind of gestures, Just hope she doesn’t see them as anything deep.I wouldn’t want to hurt her feelings reason why I don’t want to give her high hopes is that I know it will get to that
Everyone is busy with chores and the house glittering like it’s Christmas, wow coming here is always fun I can’t even deny that, just that Mark’s presence will always spoil everything. I was just taking a walk around the castle and admiring everything around it, and yes I’m pleased with what I’m seeing, decided to sit and rest a bit before dinner time, when Christy came out to join me.“Gabriella my favorite daughter inlaw” Wow that’s a good feeling knowing that someone is already seeing me as the favorite, that’s good.She’s here probably to ask me questions, lord please guide my words so I don’t end up saying things out of context, she looks friend-friendly by the way, there’s no need to get scared over anything.“Hello Christy,” I said feeling quite awkward cause I don’t feel comfortable addressing her with that, sounds disrespectful and I hope I can get used to calling her that someday without feeling some kind of way.“Good girl, I see you getting used to the name.”I seriously
-Gabriella’s POV-Mark should not be this close to my girls, I can’t trust him with them, he should be miles away from them, cause he’s not to be trusted.I thought I had told these children a couple of times not to play with everybody they see, my goodness! Who knows what he must have told them?Ok Gabriella you need to take it easy right now, not you will do something you might regret later, Yea I think that’s right Let me think of the best way to handle this.“There you are, I have been looking for you girls”I quickly walked towards them leveled down to their height and hugged them.“We are Sorry mummy, we didn’t want to disturb you while with grandma, so we decided to play out here”Amber quickly said why still in my arms, and I could see how Mark stood like a statue watching me and the kids while we hugged.“Mum look, we met this uncle here again, “ Amber said pointing at Mark in excitement, It is a good thing she referred to him as uncle, I was scared I thought he must have fed
-Mark’s POV-What in God’s name is keeping Veronica from getting here? Is it when everybody must have gone? She seriously needs to speed it up cause I don’t know what the delay is about.Maybe I should call her, 'cause there’s not much time, of what use will she be to me if she arrives here late and I don’t get to accomplish my plan, it’s useless you know?She’s always too busy to answer her calls, Pick your damn call bitch! I hope this girl doesn’t spoil my day really, If she wasn’t gonna come why not inform me earlier so I can get someone to do this for me?She should better not mess with my plans, cause I will make sure I kill her! And now is quite late to go for an alternative, hmmm.Lord, what am I going to do now? Wait looks like my phone is vibrating, it’s Veronica! Crazy girl she’s calling back, where was she though?“Hello Veronica, where are you please?” I said sounding so impatient over the phone, and I’m sure she can feel it from there.“If you won’t come again please tel
-Mark’s POV-Wow, how I love this feeling, just look how every attention is on me and the best part is knowing That Gabriella’s whole attention is on me. Well is a good thing she came late, looks like this family day is strictly going to be all about me, I gently led Veronica to where to sit, pulled out the chair, and waited for her to sit before I could leave.I made sure she was properly seated before going to my chair, I could see Gabriella’s whole attention was on us and that’s just the way I wanted it, sat down and greeted everyone by bowing my head.Isn’t this beautiful, of course it is and I’m enjoying every bit of it.-Veronica’s POV- Where exactly I’m I? I’m in the wrong space, what is going on here? Why do I have Gabriella and Mark at the same table with me?“Lord Please help me out of this mess, please lord, did Mark do this international so they both could get back at me or something, I can’t seem to wrap my head around what is going on here.I don’t know if I should gr
