There were very little people that noticed me when I walked inside. They were probably not used to women walking in with a pair of striped shorts and an off-shoulder top with a sling bag hanging loose at the side of the waist, while the free hand clutched the phone. As I passed by a few cubicles, my eyes couldn’t help but land on the many office notes that had their CEO’s and his wife’s (who unfortunately had to be me) pictures and congratulation messages.It made me wonder why people had a very confused look on their faces when they were aware of who I was. Or maybe, I indeed caught them off guard by making an abrupt appearance. I walked straight to the reception and shot the man behind the counter one of my brightest smiles.“Hi, I’m here to meet your CEO,” I said, tapping my nails against the desk.The man behind seemed irked by my casual behaviour and lack of professionalism. He frowned at my fingers that were playing against the desk and looked back up at me with an unappreciativ

I quickly grabbed the shirt he was going to wear tonight and spilled some of my perfume on it. I know it’s nothing compared to what he did to me in the morning but I at least was doing something about it.When he came out of the bathroom, I already reminded my brain to not look at his indecent body and quickly averted my gaze away from his chest. Nevertheless, I couldn’t help.I quickly went inside the bathroom and filled the tub. However, the asshole already used up all the hot water. I peeled the clothes off and looked for the bubbles to add. To my horror, there was absolutely nothing in the bottles. I opened all the bottles only to find them all devoid of anything worthy of cleaning my body.“Ethan!” I yelled from inside.“Yea?” I heard him.“What in the world did you do to my body wash and soap and shampoo and conditioner and everything else?” I said in anger.“I can’t hear you, can I walk inside?” I knew he was trying not to laugh at me.I gaped at his words and quickly grabbed m

A few minutes later, the five of us, Lana, Stella, Cassidy, Lucy, Jen, and I sat and stared at our drinks. I wasn’t in the mood for it so I let Jen order for both of us.I don’t know what got over me, but the urge to get some alcohol into my system seemed so necessary. I didn’t wait for the girls and took my drink and gulped it in one shot.It tasted different.“Hey, what did you order for me?” I asked Jen.“Ugh, that was my drink!” Cassidy scowled at me.I rolled my eyes and took another glass and gulped it down. The liquid tasted bitter. I didn’t pay heed to what they were talking to themselves about and went with the drinks. I know Jen would be mad at me for not waiting for them to halt their conversation, but I was too reckless to consider that. I needed the drinks.“Okay, I think it’s enough.” Cassidy stopped me from having the fourth one. What’s her problem now? “You’re going to pass out if you take his one and ruin my plan.”“What plan?” I asked her, irked by how she wasn’t eve

“Stand still.” Ethan whisper-yelled into my ears. He held me securely between his hands and slowly leaned me to the wall. I rested my head against the hard metal plate behind my head and clutched my hair to stop the hallucinogenic effect my head was having on my system.As soon as Ethan’s hands left my body, my knees bent and my butt collided with the ground beneath. I yelped in pain as Ethan left a frustrated sigh.“Remind me why I ever agreed to go with you.” He said as he knelt before me.“And remind me why I ever agreed to marry you.” I scowled on his face.We were standing outside his house, actually sitting now, as Ethan tried to open the door. He couldn’t multitask so he failed to manage me in his arm and opened the door with another.“Actually, you didn’t agree.” He gave me a bored smile and got up. I pulled my legs together and rested my chin on it while he fished the keys out of his pocket.When the door unlocked, he looked down at me. “You staying there for the night?”I gl

Hot air evaporated out of the brewing coffee, lightly forming moisture on the side of my cheek. I pulled the mug into my hands and rested it on my head. Not even coffee was going to save my day today. I woke up to Jess screaming on top of her lungs to remind me that today was the day. The day. Ugh. And to top it all off, I woke up with a very severe headache. Of course, what else could one expect to get after dumping countless glasses of vodka inside their gut? “Young couple Skylar Summers and Ethan Parker kick start their new life getting wasted night before their reception.” Jess scrolled down her phone - making up her own headlines. We were right now sitting in the living room, as Ethan checked the newspaper if any pictures of us ended up in the articles. Apparently, a few of our pictures together did end up, saying how we enjoyed the night with our many friends. There were also a few mentions of our reception and the enormous never-ending guest list it had. “I wasn’t the one
