VII. Wedding Night
Twelve hours later after a lot of wandering around and revisiting the places Brad and I used to visit, you know for old times sake, I ended up in front of the club Arya and my bridesmaids set my bachelorette party at. Luckily the two bouncers at the entrance already knew me so they let me pass through without any hitch.
“You're hot,” I slurred, looking at the guy sitting next to me. He's not even drinking, he's just staring ahead.“And you're drunk, darling.” I tilt my head to the side, and the whole club spin out of control that I almost fell from my seat. Lucky, the hot guy caught my shoulder as I lean dangerously close to the floor.Good job tequila.I gripped his arm tightly as I blink my eyes. “Me? Drunk?

It's been an hour since I discovered the gigantic cut of diamond sitting on my ring finger and I still can't wrap my head around the fact that I may or may not got married the previous night.It was the first time I got drunk after seven years. The first time I let myself crumble, yet here I am making a mess again. But this was not like going into a coma for alcohol poisoning all over again. This might be bigger than the mess I made seven years ago.“Damn, what did I get myself into?” I murmured just as my stomach rumbled in complaint having not eaten since the day before.Arya, bless her soul had gone down to get us breakfast so I was left with my thoughts. I love Arya to pieces but there are times, such as this that I rather be alone than seeing her patronizing smile.I was deep in my thoughts, twisting and turning the ring on my finger when an annoyingly consistent knocking pulled me back to real

“Sure,”Then for a fleeting moment, my mind drifted back on my friend’s words. And then, it clicked. My eyes nearly bugged out from its sockets when I realized who Killiad is. I’ve been so dumb not to put two and two together. The elite club where we meet. The hotel, which I designed myself and decorated with my team.It falls on one Empire since the luxury chain of hotels was my first huge project after finishing my degree in Interior Design. Fortunately, I passed the initial interview to join the bidding and got awarded with a two-year contract. The project itself was demanding which prevented me from taking clients. Knight Empire's Luxury Hotels are world-class which needs a good amount of attention when it comes to the perfect design based on the location and the kind of people that visits the place frequently. Two years with them helped me so much in my career and in building my business. And now I'm

"Yohooo!" I was abruptly pulled from the trance the moment I heard Arya's screeching voice while shoving Killiad as fast as I could."Arya!" I fumed, mortified as stared at my grinning best friend as she raises her phone above her head and started waving it.I tried taking her phone from her but she immediately hides it from me, running behind Killiad for protection.Now I realized she used her old trick to gossip.I threw a finger at her face as I stared at her accusingly. But instead of cowering behind Killiad some more, she jumped on her feet while both hands clasp together gushing out. "Oh. My. Gosh! It was so beautiful, Elle!"“Delete that!”“No, this picture would help make my life easier when dealing with you.” I scoffed. Am I the difficult one?“And you really thought that you could use that against me? B*tch, I have a lot of demeaning picture of you that would surely vanish you on the Pet

“Elle?”“Hmm.” I hummed noncommittally. It's been a week since I saw Killiad. He said he needs to fly out of state on a merger in Dubai but he promised to be back the day before the wedding. Also, I finally pulled myself out of the apartment and decided to pass my time in my office working productivity than moped around.For a week, every day a message would pop up early in the morning before I left the bed and at night before I sleep wishing me goodnight.It was Killiad. The act may be simple but the fact that he hadn't forgotten me as he goes on his busy schedule makes me smile and feel giddy inside.“What are you doing?” Arya's voice penetrated through my musings had immediately snapped me out from the thoughts of my husband.I shot her a glance. “Working,” I said in a duh tone.“Ahm.

I'll be alright besides, this is your wedding you got to decide what you want well, in this case, what Arya wants.” Helena said with conviction while looking sheepishly in Arya's direction.I huffed glaring at them. “This is childish,” I argued, running my hand through my hair.Pinching her nose, Arya slanted her eyes in an annoyed glare. “It's not, it's taking back what's yours.”I sighed, shoulder slumped in defeat. I'm tempted to go with their plan. But the question is, would it makes me happy? Will it take all the hurt Brad had inflicted on me? Will my insecurities go away?“Will it take the pain away?” I asked no one but it makes Helena and Arya mum.It's a rhetorical question but deep inside I'm also wondering if it could help me sleep knowing I made them feel a fraction of what I ha
