10 - A Game of Chicken
Breakfast was long and uncomfortable. The maids kept on giggling like little girls whenever they would see Eugene or come near him. It's so annoying. It's not annoying because I like Eugene or anything; it's annoying because the giggling didn't stop for one second. Sure enough, it didn't disturb anyone else except me. Everyone was chatting and having a great time. Meanwhile, I was struggling to control my annoyance and confusion. And who else's fault could it be if it is not Eugene's?
After breakfast, I went up to my room to cool down. I just needed a little time for myself. My bed looked welcoming with its softness, so I invited myself to lie down. My thoughts overwhelmed me. What was Eugene thinking? What was going through his mind when he did that? Was his intention only to scare me?

I cried in my room after Eugene left. I couldn't believe that he would say something like that.Does Eugene have any feelings for his parents at all? Doesn't he care that he would hurt them if they knew about this? Does he care at all? It's is all just a game to him - some business matters which he can handle without emotions because that's what this marriage is. That's all it ever will be. I cried until I had swollen eyes before deciding to go out to the garden. I wanted to be alone for a while. I need to figure out a way to make this marriage work because Eugene doesn't care. He doesn't know the first thing of love or happiness. Eugene doesn't care. He plays with people's emotions as if it's only some toys he could throw around all day long.I'm sick of it!
Where Broken Hearts Meet 12 - Nightmare of the Past
Eugene's POV Two years ago "Eugene, can we go to the amusement park today? You promised you would take me on a date today." Amy looks at me with that hope in her eyes like she usually does. She knows all too well that I'm a sucker for her begging eyes. I always fall for it, and she gets what she wants...ALWAYS. I sigh and throw my head back onto the couch. "What did I do to be punished with this little devil of a girlfriend?" I ask myself rhetorically. Amy laughs at me and comes to stand with her face over mine. She has that devilish smile on her face again...Oh boy. I'm in for something now.
Where Broken Hearts Meet 13 - Lies, Truth and Misunderstood
Rose's POV My head was throbbing painfully, and I felt so cold. I could hear people talking in whispers around my room, and someone was holding my left hand tightly. It was a feminine hand, so I assumed it was mother's l hand. Just feeling how tightly she is holding my hand and by the whispers around the room, I could sense they must be worried. But why? I'm alive and still breathing healthily, so I don't see the problem here. I turn my head to the left and try to open my eyes. They feel ponderous, but I manage to open them gradually. As soon as my eyes were open, I could see to whom the whispers belonged. Papa and Alistair were standing near my balcony door and whispering non-stop, taking sneak peeks at me from time to time to see if I was awake. Coraline and Melissa were sitting on the couch in my room, holding each other's hands and looking at me worriedly, and Mama was sitting o

A week has gone by, and I haven't seen much of Eugene. Be it that he is busy helping Papa and Alistair with the business affairs at the company, or be it me busy with my modelling photoshoots. After what happened the day after I woke up from my high fever and yelled at Eugene, I don't think he wanted anything to do with me for a while. I admit that I was a little bit harsh towards him with everything I said, but he's the one who gave me the impression that he didn't care at all. After Serene told me what Eugene had done, I started to think I was wrong about him. That maybe he wasn't as cold and indecent as people claimed he is. But maybe, it's all in my head. Maybe, I started to care too much about what he thought of me. I mean, I told him on his first day here that he didn't have to worry about me being around him, that I would leave him alone. I'm starting to think I was lying to myself when
Where Broken Hearts Meet 15 - The Start of a Success
After our big fight, Eugene and I didn't talk to each other in private anymore. We only spoke when we acted 'in love' in front of our parents when we were fighting internally to be away from each other as far as possible. I was hurt by what Eugene told me, and I was hurt by the truth of his words when he said them to me.You are a heartless person.I could never forget those few words. These few words of truth hurt me more than I thought it would. I was shutting myself away from society and my family and friends. I guess they never knew the pain I was going through because I hid it so well to avoid attention to the matter.Eugene would also be more in the study and library than before. He would join Papa and Alistair more for business gatherings and meetings than he usually did. I guess the business
Where Broken Hearts Meet 16 - Fairytale Dream Come True
After our first date together, Eugene and I stopped acting and started conveying each others' feelings to one another. Soon we were on our third date. It was our final date before the wedding, which was today. Eugene came to me late the previous night that I had to be prepared for our last date today. I was curious what he meant by 'I had to be ready', but I just assumed that I had to get ready for it. So, when the time came for preparing, Mama only sent up my assistant to my room to get my things ready for me. Not only was it strange that only my assistant came and not the usual bunch of people to prepare me for the date, but the fact that my assistant only picked out some cute and sassy everyday clothes for me to wear. I gave her a sceptical look, but she only smiled at me and left my room and said I had to enjoy it with a wink before she lef

Melissa's POV It was nearly past eleven p.m. Mom, dad, Clementine, Dominic and I, we were all waiting patiently for Rose and Eugene to come back to the villa. I hope Rose enjoyed her surprise. It took me almost a whole day to find the best wedding ring fitting for her. I know we barely know each other, but in these past few weeks, I've come to acknowledge Rose as not just one of my closest friends, but she feels like the sister I never had. We just clicked. As my thoughts carried me away, we heard the back door open. That must be them! We all stared at each other and started to converse to make ourselves look busy. As soon as they appeared at the entrance to the living room, we stopped and looked at them. Well, this is awkward. Let's try to rescue this situation a little bit before it gets out of hand.
Where Broken Hearts Meet 18 - Unexpected Run-in
Rose's POV"Rose, how is everything going on your side?" I heard Melissa scream from the other side of the wedding venue."Everything is going smoothly so far,"I said as I told the staff where all the chairs would stand. Since this morning, everyone has been working hard to get the wedding venue ready for tomorrow. Gosh, not to mention that after this, we'll have to head back home to help Mama and Coraline with the engagement party tonight. Apparently, I was the only one who still needed to receive an invitation to my engagement party. Mama and Coraline knew that Eugene would propose to me two nights prior, so they sent the engagement party invitations to everyone. Everything was nearly done at the wedding venue. There were only a few things left to do."Rose!" I heard someone call out to me from the entrance. The second I turned around, my face beamed as I saw who it was."Logan!" I said, almost running him over
