The moon hung low in the sky, almost omitted by the clouds. The busy city was glistening under it, with the constant movement of the vehicles and the chirping of people by the footpath, the impatient honks from the truck behind us, and my almost deaf chauffer for tonight.Although the night sky seemed peaceful and enchanting, I couldn’t relish any of it - thanks to my husband.My date, who was, unfortunately, my husband, told me that he’d be meeting me only near his office. Why? Because he had a freaking meeting!No, don’t get me wrong here. I know being a CEO was a tough job and his work required a lot of his time. But that doesn’t give him any excuse for asking me to pick him up. Sorry if I sound old school, but I some times like treated by gentlemen.Not that I missed him or anything, but the mere presence of my driver for the night who sported a haunting aura around him with a permanent frown on his face made the whole experience even more displeasing.On a brighter note, my Insta

“What is he even doing here?” Kyle asked from beside me as the party resumed.I turned around to face Ethan and narrowed my eyes at him. “What’s going on?”“That’s your reaction to seeing your brother?” He asked me with an incredulous look.“Did you invite him?”“Maybe.”“What’s that supposed to mean?”“That’s supposed to make you go to him and thank him for coming here,” Ethan said. “Or do you want me to escort you?”“Thanks. You’ll just ruin it.” Kyle said. “I’ll go with her.”“Wait, I never told you I’m going to meet him.” I protested.“Why?” Zac and Lana asked together while Lana continued. “Come on, Nick is here. Literally. Not even dreaming.”“He wouldn’t talk to me anyway,” I said.“You would only know about it if you try,” Tyler said. “Come on, let’s go before he changes his mind.”“Hey, didn’t you hear what I said? I’m handling the situation. So back off.” Kyle said, taking my hand and pulling me towards Nick.My friends remained behind and watched us walk over to him. I push

I never made a big deal out of it. Nor did I ever react in a manner like he just did! He could have at least thought that I kissed him for the exact same reason.Endless tears stained my face as my heart refused to take the rejection from him. I felt disgusted pour through me for kissing me. I felt so weak at the moment that it seemed impossible for me to control myself.Although we aren’t in love anymore, I never felt the disgust in kissing him. I still had something that made me make the first move. But his rejection proved an entire new point in this relationship.Images from seven years ago poured in front of my eyes. Several events of people leaving me because they didn’t want me slipped before my eyes. My mom, dad, Nick, and now Ethan.All my life I was abandoned by people I loved. No one could love me back like the way I did. And now, Ethan left me too, again.I laid there on the floor until my sobs mellowed down. I got up from the floor and straightened my dress. As I couldn’t

“Skylar, let him explain!” Ethan said in annoyance once I shut my mouth.My face turned toward him, fixing him with a hard glare. “I told you I don’t like it here.”He sighed. “Give me a valid reason as to why this place is bad.”“He doesn’t respect me!” I said, looking at the manager who was now worried about his employment in the hotel. “Where is my freaking name?”“He said Mr. and Mrs.Parker!” Ethan complained. “Don’t complain that he didn’t go with the first name. He probably doesn’t know your name.”I glared at him harder.Actually, when we finally reached the hotel here in London - yes, that’s exactly where he planned our honeymoon - I had literally seen every freaking thing named as ‘welcome Mr. And Mrs.Parker.’So I politely asked the manager to not do stuff like that and if he really wanted to welcome us, he should also mention my name in it.To this, he disagreed. So to stay in his hotel, I disagreed. And to this behavior of mine, Ethan disagreed.“Just get me the key and le

He smiled and shook his head. “You think a lot about the people around you, don’t you?”I shrugged.“Then to what do I owe this horrible treatment from you?” He gave me a tight smile.I smirked. “Well, unlike you, people here are nice and less annoying and controlling.”“Don’t you dare call me controlling.” He said. “Everything in this marriage is basically controlled by you!”“Excuse me?” I laughed with fakeness dripping from the core. “I’m controlling this marriage? Please, I didn’t even know where we were going for a honeymoon until I landed here. You tell me nothing and do everything according to your wish!”“That’s not true.” He said. “We’re in London because you have always wanted to go here for a honeymoon.”“When did I-”“Remember the time in high school where we used to pretend we’re in the future and you always used to say how you wanted to go to London for a honeymoon because it’s romantic?”“Yes.. but that.. how do you even remember it?” I asked, shocked my self.“Of cours
