GWEN’S POVThe universe can be cruel sometimes, sometimes a bit unfair and sometimes offering you what you fully deserve. I personally think the most important factor here is time. I am the kind of person who loves to organize every single moment of her life and then follow that plan right till the very end. I hate being taken by surprise. I want to be in perfect control of the path my life goes at all time.But I guess I learnt the hard way that life is unpredictable. One moment you are having a smooth ride, living the perfect life there is, and then the next, life send you down a path you have no idea how to walk on. With that a few twists and turns in your life, Viola! You have moved from the list of people who have their life figured out to someone helpless.What mattered the most at the end is how you react to that change. Some people will just give in and accept their fate and maybe pickup from scratch again but I sure as heck wasn’t some people or any other person at that. I a
LENA’S POVDinner was a success.It has not been long since I found out everything about my life and all, but I felt this surging, out-of-the-world love for Gwen. I would do everything for her without a second thought. Blood is indeed thicker than water.They left a few hours after dinner, not because they wanted to but because it was getting late and Gwen needed to rest for tomorrow. The duo are really in love with each other. It was really beautiful watching them bicker and giggle while they made their way to their car.Seeing her happy stirs this overwhelming feeling of happiness within me and it’s all strange cause this was not something I was used to feeling. Having a sibling is a beautiful feeling and I would love to feel it over and over again.After they left, all we did was clear out the table and set the dishes in the dishwasher before heading straight to bed. We too, will need to rest as tomorrow is sure as heck going to come with a lot of energy-draining moments, and just
LENA’S POV“I have told you for the umpteenth time to stop moving around, you are going to spill your head all over the place and take my work back. We wouldn’t want that now, would we?” Gwen rambled while moving around the room, sliding between tables and chairs to get to whatever it was she was meaning to pick.“Sorry,” I mumbled, trying hard not to giggle at her frustration. I find it amusing, to say the least.“Yeah right” She rolled her eyes, finally returning to where she stood at my back. “As if that is going to fix the hair” She brushed back the string of hair that fell out of place and tucked it back to where it belonged before toasting and then combing aside.She went back to her previous task of trying to get my zipper up and getting me all set in the white, floor-sweeping gown she urged me to pick. She was putting in her all to make sure I looked perfect from every angle even going as far as wiping a bit of sweat resting on my forehead. “Okay, okay now take a few steps let
EpilogueIt's been five years since I had gotten my life entangled with that of Dante, and now I am his wife and the mother of his children. The lady that had spilled coffee on him is the lady he is married to and is the lady that is his world, the mother of his children and his happy pills.I am happy to have found a man like him, because I know that even in the roughest times I would have someone that has my back.“Earth to Lena.” Gwen snapped me out of the thoughts and I looked at her a bit confused and embarrassed.“What are you thinking of again, Lena?” she asked me and I smiled. I wasn't thinking of anything that would make me anxious or cry, I was thinking about how good things have been, I was thinking of my family and I was happy.“Nothing Gwen, I just remember old times. I remember when I just had Lilly and look at my baby now, she is 3." As I said this, Lilly giggled and she lifted her hands up signaling that she wanted me to her up.I picked her up and hugged her so t
Lena’s Point Of View(Handsome Stranger)With my bag crossed around my shoulder, I gingerly walked through the busy streets trying to avoid being late on my first day of work.I had ended my night shift two hours ago, this was my morning shift in a cafe shop and I needed to be there right now.I got to the cafe, M and N’s cafe and I pushed the glass door open. Just as I made my way inside the cafe, I bumped into a very tall man, making his coffee spill all over me.The coffee spilled on my hand and I winced.“Ahhhh!” It was burning badly.I looked at the man who I had bumped into, he was looking at his damaged cloth.“I am so sorry sir.” I picked up the cup and apologized to him.What did I just do? On the first day of work? I would get fired.“I am sorry sir, I will get you a fresh cup of coffee, I am sorry for the inconvenience, it is all my fault.” I tucked a strand of my hair at the back of my ear as I apologized to him. The man stood at the same spot and said nothing, this time
Lena’s Point of View(I need you and you need me)“This joke isn't funny. How can you walk into my house and tell me that I'm getting married to you?” I felt disgusted at the moment, how could such a hot man be this crazy. It was just coffee I spilled on him so why was he here?“Lena, please come and have a seat, listen to what he has to say.” Mom walked up to me and took my hand, she tried to lead me to the couch but I protested.“Mom, what is going on?” I pulled my hand and looked at my mother’s petite figure, her black hair was wrapped in a low bond and she looked so weak.“Lena, this man will save us. This man is the only way out. He will help us get your father back to health.” her voice was low. I looked at the man as he sat on the chair not budging.“Mom, what is going on with you?” I looked perplexed “What did you do to my mother?” I raised my voice at the man.“I only gave her an option to save her husband, except you want to see your father die, Helena” he was so calm with
Lena’s Point Of View.(Contract rules; Now Mine)“Good. I will invite you over for dinner, we will talk about the contract and by the morning of tomorrow, we will get married.” As he said this, my heart skipped a bit.“We would get married tomorrow? It’s so early, don’t we have things to plan?” I asked him and he only smirked.“We are signing a contract, the rest of the marriage rites, I do not care about.”“Contract rules and you are mine” he walked closer to me, touched the tip of my chin and sighed.“That’s all for this morning, you can go to work now. Mrs Theresa, good day.” He gave a smirk then walked out.”The moment he walked out I released the breath I didn’t know that I was holding.Mom held me. “It’s okay baby.”“Mom, how on earth did I get here? I'll be getting married to him tomorrow. Why does he need me, I need him to tell me why he needs to get married to me.”“You should talk to him and find out about it." As she said this, my heart fell. I really am doing this. I will b
Lena’s Point Of View(Married)It was finally the day, it was my wedding day to a man that I didn’t known.We were at the court and the wedding proceedings were about to start but I need to be with my mother at the moment.She held me like her baby, I am her baby.“Mom I cannot do this, I will not be able to.” I tried to wipe my eyes but the more I did that the more I cried, Mom pulled me into a hug and I stayed in her arms for a while, I didn’t want to let go.“Go with him, Lena.” She cried. I watched my mother cry for me and I felt weak.“I am sorry that I couldn’t have found a better way to save your father, my dear. I am so sorry.” Mom cried as she wiped my eyes.“This is for your fathers sake, you are doing it for him, for us.” “Go with him.” She let go of my hand. We were outside the courtroom and Mr Dante stood waiting for us.“I love you baby.” She kissed my forehead and I looked at her. As I tried to hold her, Mr Dante stepped forward. “We do not have this time.” He stood ta
