The Bride

“If he asks, tell me it’s true. And I told him he has a son.”

“God, Chloe, this is too much.” – I know, help me, okay?

– Okay, but why?

“I don’t want him around me, I want him away from me.”

“Mother!”

Cayden shouted from the amplifier behind me and I knew he was calling me for no reason. He has always done this and when I answer him he will call out his name.

“Where are you?”

– I drive.

– But you don’t have a car. – I borrowed one.

“Mother!!!” I looked at Cayden pleading for understanding.

“Someone just shouted”

“It’s a radio ad.” I said quickly. – Five.

“Uh, Adrian, I’ll call you when I get home.” It’s on the highway. I lied

– OK Do not worry.

I took a deep breath and immediately ended the conversation. Not me, I didn’t want to sound like Tristan, but I was desperate. “baby it’s too much”

Mrs. Porter said as soon as I said. “I know, I just fell.”

I groaned and buried my face in my hands.

“How long do you think your lies will last?”

“one month?”

“You need a man who looks real.”

“What do you think? do you want me to marry you? I looked at him in disbelief.

“Don’t be an idiot, find someone to act as your husband.”

She said she looked like fifty-two with a soft smile on her wrinkled face and I thought it was stress and loneliness. Her dark hair was slowly graying but she still looked beautiful and her brown eyes were looking at me waiting for an answer.

“I do not want this. If not, I will look for another way.”

It was only natural to run away to a distant land with Cayden.

‘I know someone who can help you. This is my friend’s son. His name is Ryan and he’s a good guy.”

“Mr. Potter, I don’t want to be.”

‘Hey, you love your son and will do anything to keep him away from his father, right?

“Yes”.

“And you want him to stay away from you and your child?”

“Yes”.

“Then you must show her that you are happily married to a handsome man. Then she will be gone forever.”

I thought about it and met the lady. Potter was cunning, but he was discerning.

“How about Bean?”

‘Like you said, he seems to hate her. I don’t think he would have gone there if he hadn’t had the hope of death.

Tell your best friend you’re doing this to avoid yourself.”

“Well, I can’t believe I agree with that.”

“I’ll tell her mom, let’s see when we can meet and get to know each other.”

“OK thanks.”

Wasn’t he planning to play matchmaker? “Sometimes he feels nothing for both of them. I don’t think your heart can bear another bitterness. I don’t want this monster back in your life. He doesn’t deserve you or Cayden. You deserve to be happy.”

“thanks.” I said smiling.

Having said that, you offered to have a drink with us, do you believe me? Of course I remember what he said.

I think it’s late. That’s right, aunty! He hopes we never see each other again.

It was wednesday and i came to meet ryan today mrs. Porter said he explained everything to me.

like. Today I wanted to take sick leave because I let Carter leave early, but I used it to spend time with Cayden.

Using the excuse of wanting to finish work early, I entered the third room without a cleaning kit. A woman in a black lace dress is lying on the bed in front of a laptop. After waiting for an answer for about 5 minutes, I realized there was no one inside. After I greeted him, he looked at me and said nothing. I saw him and put the cleaning supplies in the bathroom.

Before I even got to the doorknob, the door opened and Adrian stepped out with a towel wrapped around his waist, water dripping down his impressive body. I was shocked as his gaze scanned my uniform and the cleaning supplies I was holding on to, so I almost dropped the cleaning supplies.

“What are you waiting for?” Get in there and do what you have to do. Flush the toilet.”

said the old lady on the other side.

“Don’t talk like that, Lindsay.”

Adrian, he turned to me and tried to say something, but I gave him a fake smile and grabbed my cleaning supplies. I couldn’t blame him for sleeping with other women every day.

I walked past him to the bathroom and closed the door behind me. I didn’t need him to protect me. I heard

Best to ignore them.

When I came out of the bathroom, the room was empty. I made the bed and cleaned the room.

I finished work after 15. 00. Carter let me go.

We met at the cafeteria where Ryan worked, free lunch. I got there before her, and the explanation Mrs. Porter gave me didn’t sit well with the children in the workshop. I went to say hi to the manager and we really enjoyed it. When I returned, Ryan was nowhere to be found and I stayed behind the counter with Marisa. When the bell rang, I looked up and saw black hair? Look, green eyes? Check, flannel shirt and black jeans? Confirm. He was here and I was a little nervous. As he looked around, I waved to him too

I didn’t give him the smile I gave him. did he have to do it? I joined the booth by the window with two juices. “Hello.”

I told him he was off drinking and he didn’t look at me or say anything. Instead, he drank alcohol. I saw his hair pulled back and covering his forehead, his lips holding a light stubble and a small nose ring.

“Um… thanks for the help, Ryan, okay?” He didn’t say anything. Mrs. Porter didn’t say she was stupid and rude. How did it work?

It was impossible for people to see us as a couple. “Um… Do you want to say something?”

– Yes, I have a lot to say.

Oh, he’s talking.

A smile spread across his lips as he leaned back against the table. “So you’re my wife?” – No… Really, it’s acting.

“I know, can we do what couples do? Are you curious and like to get dirty?”

I looked around to see if anyone had heard of him. “Not.” I stopped and told him to give him a dirty look.

“Unfortunately, I’ve thought of different ways to please you, but when was the last time someone messed you up with Chloe?”

He took off my clothes with his eyes and looked at the first three buttons of my uniform. “It’s none of your business, it’s your duty to act like my man when needed.”

He smiled uncontrollably. – It will be fun.

– He looked at me and put a straw in his mouth and said. Mrs. Porter said that was a good thing and I frowned at her as she kept looking at me. shower.

“Then where is your son?” “It is not your job.”

‘But I don’t care because I’m a father. Hermione was talking about him.

Did you just ask Mrs. Potter?

Name? – What else did he tell you?

“I wish we had more time to talk, but there’s someone waiting.”

He drank his glass and stood up.

he approaches the table for a kiss

me. “Not. Even. think. for. that.”

he stopped and left

“God, you’re so boring.” We will be like a divorced couple.”

I closed my eyes and put the straw in my mouth. He certainly didn’t act like a twenty-five year old.

I can’t live a day with Ryan, I’m the lady. Porter said. I was no longer interested in fake husbands. Or you’d better ask Daniel. Daniel was nice and charming, but he didn’t want to interfere with my confused lies.

After spending 4 hours with Kayden and coming home exhausted, it was totally worth it. Veena didn’t come back from the camp, so I wore a black gym suit and a white shirt.

I sat down on the sofa with the dish

Grabbing a box of popcorn and juice, picking up the remote, I found something interesting to watch on Hulu. Someone knocked and I got up and ran to the door. Vina always hesitated to enter her password. I opened the door and stared wide-eyed at the three boxes in front of the door.

“Ryan?”

“Ryan?”

He gave me a wry smile and walked in with two suitcases. – Can you help me with the last suitcase?

He told me as he passed me. “What are you doing here?”

I asked, leaving the last bag by the door. “It wasn’t the reaction I was expecting, but that’s okay.”

– He spoke and went to get the last one.

bag.

“Why

you know?

I live here here?” How have you been?

– I asked Hermione.

He told me to take a big bite out of the fruit basket. Eating apples, others

all

“I think I found a good place, the right place”

Choice, – He looked into the living room. ‘You still haven’t answered my question, why are you here?

“To make friends with my wife…

great chance to escape

from your parents.”

Did he live with his parents when he was 25? Did he also have a job? “You can’t live here, I have a roommate.”

‘thus? Two rooms? “Never mind, you can’t live”

Here. If you asked me to play my husband, I said I would invite him.

The door opened and Vina walked in with a heel in one hand and a light blue jacket in the other.

“I’m home.”

She was tired and busy so she put Ryan’s shoes on the shelf and I thought about what to say to her. Finally he raised his head to look at us and looked between us with a questioning look.

“Hello sweetheart.”

Before I could say anything, Ryan frowned at Vina’s greeting. – Chloe?

He came back to explain. – This is… my friend Ryan.

“I thought we were Mar”

I nudged him lightly with my elbow to silence him. ‘I knew! I knew you were dating someone!

He says smiling like he just won a prize.

“Ryan, this is Belvina, my best friend and roommate.”

– Call me Bina.

He stepped forward, took her small hand and put his lips to the back of her palm. “For nothing.”

He said stubbornly, wouldn’t it be disgusting? I introduced myself as my boyfriend, for God’s sake. Bina blushed and smiled warmly without looking at her. I smiled trying not to close my eyes.

“Please don’t let Chloe put me to sleep.”

The joke.

“I’m sure he won’t mind.” he said looking at me. “What happened to the bag?” Vina looked at me and asked.

“Ryan, you came all the way from LA to spend time with me. We were in a long distance relationship.”

‘Wow, that’s so sweet. Have fun together, but calm down.”

– He spoke and went to his room.

“I don’t think you told him about your baby.”

He said he heard his door close immediately. “Yeah, neither do you.” – Hey, I need you here.

He said to open his arms.

“There are not. Get out of here next week.”

“We will see.”

An angry smile danced on his lips.

I led her to my room, she took her bag and I followed her. “So you’re sleeping.”

“Why do we need a place to sleep?” The bed is big enough.

He lay on my big bed without taking off his dirty shoes and I clenched my fists. Could it get worse? I saw this first. “You sleep on the couch, I sleep on the bed.”

“Why am I sleeping on the couch?” I keep your secrets, pretend to be your husband and be a good person to you.

“Okay! Sleep on the couch.” At least it’s comfortable.”

I raised my hand in anger and he smiled.

“Quit quickly, roommate.” “Don’t call me that.”

I growled and turned to go out. – Good shorts.

He called after me.

I woke up early the next day, locked the door and got ready to go to work in the bathroom. Ryan was still snoring into the duvet. Lying on the couch at night he had a sore throat, and I ignored the pain and made my own food.

Veena appeared five minutes later in a beige draped dress with neat hair and flawless makeup. He’s in a hurry, just…

I drank coffee and left. Ryan: “What’s for breakfast?”

He asked to stay next to me on the island. – I don’t know, I was late for work.

I stood up and put the lunch box in my bag. I need some money

He told me as he walked towards the door. – Are you serious now?

He shrugged.

“You’re crazy”.

I talked to her and put on my tennis shoes. – Chloe, it’s up to you. give me some money Otherwise, I will tell your friends. And let’s not forget dad. I’m sure he’ll be excited to learn more about his son.

Gasping, he looks at my face and smiles.

“I told you Hermione, he told me everything.”

I dug my nails into my palms to control my anger and then I got scared too. I took out my wallet, took out $200 and threw it away.

“Add another face”

When I turned to leave he said he wanted to fight but he said he knew what would happen if you refused. I pulled out a hundred dollar bill, looked at it and threw it on the floor.

“good woman”.

As soon as I got to the hotel, I got angry and ran away from my friends and immediately started packing the room I was assigned to. The second room I clean has clothes on the floor and the empty pizza boxes and cookie wrappers are such a mess.

I stayed in the room for about an hour and was disappointed when the vacuum cleaner stopped working. I pressed her and moaned. I tried to kick again, but my legs got caught in the laptop cable, and as I tried to pull my legs, the laptop fell into a bucket of bathroom cleaning water. “Stubborn!”

Watching the water drip from my laptop, I pulled out my laptop.

“What are you doing?”

I turned to face a very angry face as a huge man walked up to me and grabbed the damaged laptop in his hand. “Oh my God, what have you done? I have important files on this laptop.”

“I’m very sorry about the accident.” I almost stuttered. Then I was very angry with Mme. I found out I was sitting in front of Carter. ‘I’ve given you countless opportunities, Chloe, but I regret them.

“It was an accident.”

“That’s annoying to hear! he snapped.

“Let’s get straight to the point. I spoke with Mr. Finn and he agrees it’s best if I let you go.”

– Can you let me in? – Yes, I am sorry.

Ms. When I talked about what we were doing at the hotel, Porter gave me sweet lemonade juice, and when I talked about Ryan, he kept apologizing. He offered to talk to her and said I was no longer interested in being a fake husband. My plan was to stay away from Tristan. I stayed with him until dark and was relieved not to see Ryan.

I fell asleep immediately and everyone’s faces flashed in my head when I found out I was fired. Life was so unfair.

Ryan kept demanding money and threatening to reveal my secrets if I didn’t. I was able to get a shift during the week at the restaurant.

Veena kept looking at us like parakeets and Ryan never missed a chance to flirt with her. It was Thursday and the restaurant was busy and I had to close.

I threw away the trash, locked the door, and turned to go out, only to see Tristan. He leaned against the car with his arms crossed and smiled at me, but I looked away and kept walking.

at my apartment.

One cold night, I hugged myself and walked. The light blue waiter’s uniform was the same as mine at home.

Tristan overtook me with his long stride and we walked quietly side by side. His trusty nostalgia brought back old memories, and I pushed them away and looked at the trees across the street.

“Why do you work so hard?”

Finally he spoke and I said nothing. ‘Adrian said you lost your job at the hotel.

“So? You’re here to tell me you deserve it too?!”

I stopped and looked at him. – No, I want to help.

– I do not need your help! I screamed.

– Why did you refuse the money? he asked calmly. “Because I don’t want anything from you or your family.”

“Do you want to suffer?”

“Who’s to blame for Tristan? Thanks to you and your family last time I checked!”

I said patting his chest. ‘I know it’s my fault, okay? And I want to improve the situation.

I laughed at his words. “Are you ok?” I approached his tall stature, not wanting to remind him of the past, and said: But he pushed me away.

“What’s your definition of good?” It is a lie? secret? what the? Or how do you think receiving money will change?

You and your family did this to me?

His eyes were full of pain and I could see the guilt on his face. “Will, will you give me a chance? I’m not asking you to come back, I’m asking you to live comfortably. It’s sad to see you working like this.”

“I don’t have to, I’m also…

It is convenient for my life. I’m happy

married and my husband is the sweetest

And perhaps the most caring and loving woman.

Never ask for it.”

“I’m glad I finally found the right person. I’m glad I did.”

me. his eyes looked sad

‘I’m sorry to hurt you Cassie, I…

I hope you never follow their plans. IT

I just wanted the pain to stop and mine

The mother was desperate. I’m really sorry.’ ‘Anything. I don’t care, I said

I started to leave but he followed me.

“So what does your husband do?”

“It’s none of your business, leave me alone, Tristan!” I’m not kidding about the restraining order.

He came in front of me and blocked my way. – It’s been three years, Chloe, will you forgive me?

“Not.” I turned away from him and said.Còntens bel0ngs to Nô(v)elDr/a/ma.Org

He didn’t follow me. I shook my head and walked faster towards the apartment. I immediately leaned against the door, my heart pounding. – Is someone following you?

Ryan’s voice came from the living room.

“Not”.

I saw her and went to the kitchen to buy a bottle of water. He was wearing an orange shirt, khaki pants and a black leather jacket, and his hair looked too greasy.

– Where are you going? “Yes”.

– Okay, don’t make a lot of noise when you enter the room, I’m a very light sleeper.

“I’ll give it my all.”

I let my hair down as I entered the room. “I need money.” I was frozen.

“$500 is enough.” he said casually. I resorted to the worst attitude and collapsed because of it.

‘I have no money and I will do it.

Never give them that amount.

“You don’t care that I’m selling you the secrets of the media. Imagine how much money I make.” I’m sure Tristan Sanchester will reward me if I tell him.

– Stop! “Give me money.”

He gave me a horrified look.

“I don’t have any money, Ryan, keep growing.”

“I want it now!”

I groaned in frustration and blushed. Maybe I’ll do something crazy.

– I forgot to tie my shoelaces. I told him with a big smile. I picked up the vase from the shelf, looked down and knocked it over.

I stared at him blankly for a moment.

Long Seconds was still shocked by what I had done. I checked my pulse to make sure he was alive and when I felt it I sighed in relief.

Looking at the clock on the wall, Vina can go home anytime. I swallowed nervously, not knowing what to do next.

I grabbed her shoulders and dragged her heavy body into my room and into my closet. I was given a rope and a band, grabbed a chair and sat down.

Panting on the floor after he finished, it was very painful. After I had enough rest, I got up, tied him to a chair and taped his mouth and hands.

“Sorry”.

I said and left the closet.

I’ve never felt so scared in my life. The last few days I’ve been running and my heart skips a beat every time someone calls my name.

I was looking over my shoulder to make sure he was following me. Every time I saw a policeman or a police car, my heart skipped a beat.

It was a crime to bind and imprison someone against their will. Ryan was still tied to my locker.

Every time I think about it, my heart beats faster than ever. If anyone finds out what I did, they’ll go to jail. I panic every second. it was never me

I imagined it would be different.

It’s been a week since I defeated Ryan and tied him to my locker. Everything was done carefully to avoid any doubt.

On my way home from overtime, I was startled by a noise from behind and grabbed my bag strap. I turned around and saw a woman and her dog running down the street. He smiled at me and I returned it. I took a deep breath and kept walking. I’ve never done anything like that in my life.

Bina didn’t come back so she shook her hand and entered the password. I left my bag and went to the kitchen, got water and food.

I locked the door to my room and went into the closet. Ryan made an angry expression.

When I sat down in front of him. – Hi, Ryan.

I smiled at him. He was trying to warm up in the seat and I was tired of seeing him try.

I went over and removed the tape from her mouth and she moaned. “Let the crazy bastard go!” he spit

‘You made me like this. What should I do if I keep threatening and demanding all my hard earned money?

“You can’t run, my friends are coming to me.”

– Do you have friends?

I said with a dramatic sigh.

I laughed, adding, “I was surprised.” “It’s been a week and I know something is wrong and I’m going to the police.”

Even my grandmother called me every day and luckily I didn’t call for a week.”

– Oh, my mistake.

“You won’t run away with this, I promise.” He threw a dagger at me.

‘I want to let you go, believe me. “I think you’ll go to the police and tell Tristan about the boy.” I told him

‘Wow, are you a fortune teller? Because you read my mind.”

Very bad.

“Know? I have no regrets, you deserve to be tied up here.”

I said disgustingly.

“Why are you so scared?” His father, it’s been over three years since what happened between you.”

I put a steak in his mouth

close it

– No, not enough. I murmured. I fed him, taped his mouth and left the room.

On my way to the kitchen, I met Veena. He looked at the plate in my hand and looked in front of me.

“What the? I wanted to eat in my room. – I didn’t say anything.

She said she was looking for her favorite mug in the kitchen cupboard.

‘Your boyfriend hasn’t left, haven’t seen him in a week?

“Yeah, I’m back in Los Angeles.”

“He won’t even say goodbye.”

She said as she walked past me to the sink. – He was in a hurry.

I said with a short smile.

‘so… How was your experience?

so far?”

I tried to change the subject. “It’s stress.” she shouted

“But I like this place.” she said with a dreamy smile. “There is a man whose name is Jacob and he is very attractive.”

I pretended to be interested in talking about the man who took her to coffee.

I was surprised to see Danielle, Hope and Jane enter the restaurant. They smiled at me as they walked to the table and I paused to join the empty booth.

“I’m sorry I worked.” Jane said softly. – Good. Either way, work hurts.

True, but I’m not ready to be fired

yet.

“If you’re looking for another job, I know the place.”

Daniyar suggested how sweet it was. “No, not yet.”

They told me what happened after I left. I wasn’t the only one fired, but a woman named Amanda was caught stealing from the room she was cleaning. We talked for a while before he left. I worked a lot alone and stayed up until 10 o’clock. I don’t care, my heart ain’t anywhere else, Ryan, it’s tied up in my closet.

Taking orders and serving food is tiring. The bell rang and I looked up to meet the next guest, but it was grey.

“Hi Chloe.” She waved her hand and walked towards me. – Hi, Gray.

Let the awkwardness begin. gray me too

I have never been so close to the incident. After what happened with Sanchester, he tried to contact me after Vina and I got our apartment. He tried to let me live with him, but I refused. He will always come and I will run from him and push him until he gives up. For several months after returning from Cuba, we did not speak until we came to see Vina for her birthday. Gabby’s girlfriend introduced us. I’m glad he moved.

“How are you? I haven’t seen you in weeks.

He gave me a chair.

“I’m busy, I’m sure Vina said I lost another job.” I tried to put on a sad expression, but it wasn’t what I wanted. – He is not.

– Oh, now I understand.

“I want a pineapple shake.”

“What happens?”

He asked if I was back.

I explained everything to him, but he

I just laughed. ‘I think you are good.

Fired, you’re not there’. “Should I hurt myself?”

I asked and he shrugged.

“How’s Gaby?”

“that”.

He glared at her. his face changed

I opened my mouth to ask more, but the phone rang and I closed my mouth.

‘Gaby, I have to go get you. Sorry.”

– Okay, thanks for stopping by. He smiled.

– Hi, Chloe.

“Hi,” I sang. Some people in the restaurant turned to me and I smiled at them and took a flyer from the table.

It was eleven o’clock when I finished cleaning and took out the trash and locked the kitchen. I walked down the street with a smile on my face, remembering that I fed Ryan when I got home. I checked the time. “Stubborn!” Veena should be home by now. As I started walking faster, I spat again. I stopped at the blinding light of an oncoming car. My eyes are fixed on the intensity of the light,

I used one hand to keep the light from tearing my eyes. I stopped at the blinding light of an oncoming car. My eyes are fixed on the intensity of the light,

I used one hand to keep the light from tearing my eyes. The car pulled up next to me, the lights went off and the front door opened.

I looked at Tristan as he got out of the car and started to walk, sighing, but he grabbed my arm and slammed me into the car. Well, it’s not hard.

She choked on the movement and looked at him. He looked angry like he was trying to tear me apart.

“I’m afraid, Tristan!”

I was shaking when he took me into the car. It didn’t look like it would be released anytime soon.

“Where is he? Where is my son?! ‘Where is he? Where is my son?! Tristan asked with a black face

The veins in his neck were visible and his jaw was set as he waited for me to speak. “How… who said yours?”

I quickly changed the question so he wouldn’t think it was Cayden’s.

“Don’t lie, Cassie!” “Don’t call me that!”

I rushed. “She’s not yours, I said I’m married to you!”

“shit!”

He released me, took my hand and threw a fake wedding ring across the street.

I gasped and looked at him with my hands. ‘Stop it, I know the truth. Where is he?’

“It’s not yours, Tristan.” I said…

Bold, straight. He hugged me to the car and my back hurt.

“Stop, don’t lie.”

“Just because you slept the first time doesn’t mean it’s yours.”

I added. Then she smiled softly and licked her bottom lip. “How old is she?”

“It is not your job.”

I knew what he wanted to do.

“The trip to Cuba was meant to cover the truth, but I stayed there for almost a year.”

caught “What makes you think he’s your son?”

He said looking at the black shirt that showed off his muscular frame and impressive frame.

No matter how pathetic Chloe is, she can’t help but admire the people she hates. my subconscious said

“We have the same mole. I saw it under my ear in the park.”

I opened my mouth to say something but nothing came out and I didn’t know what to say. “Show me,” I asked.

He pointed to a spot on his neck with a long finger, and I stood on tiptoe and looked at him. It was like spraying dark paint on my skin.

Kayden had it too and I had to see it. “And I have DNA results.” He added.

“What are you waiting for?”

“I wanted to make sure she was really mine, so when I got her I stole her hair and did a DNA test.”

I remember him hitting Kayden in the head. “How dare you?!”

I pushed his chest and got angrier than before.

– You had no right to do that!

“I am her father and I have a right to know.”

– No, you don’t. Kayden doesn’t need you.

“He is Sanchester.” You can’t change it.

‘He’s the Simpsons. It’s on his birth certificate.”

– he said with his arms crossed. “Oh God.”

He turned and grimaced and propped me up for a moment, cursing and running his hand through my hair before finally looking at me.

‘Why are you doing this, I want to be a part of his life. i lost my child

Make sure you haven’t already lost anyone else.”

he said quietly.

I wondered what he would do

When he finds out about the other twins. “I don’t care, I’ll pick it up myself.”

“Is this how you punish me?” Lie to me, are you married and hiding my son from me?

No, I was thinking of the worst punishment a man can inflict. – Tell him what you want. This conversation has ended.

I straightened my bag and turned to leave but he stopped me.

“It’s not over yet, tell me where you are.”

“You don’t need to know, it’s safe.” “He’s my son, he deserves to know”

Father.”

“She doesn’t complain, she doesn’t need you, and besides, I don’t see you as a good father.”

My last words affected him and he slowly pulled away from me and slowly nodded. “I know you hate me. But don’t take my son away from me. I promise. I’ll be the best father you ever wanted.”
