Our Beautiful Beginning

Flash Marriage To My Best Friend's Father

Madel Cerda

I was once the heiress to the Solomon empire, but after it crumbled, I became the "charity case" ward of the wealthy Hyde family. For years, I lived in their shadows, clinging to the promise that Anson Hyde would always be my protector. That promise shattered when Anson walked into the ballroom with Claudine Chapman on his arm. Claudine was the girl who had spent years making my life a living hell, and now Anson was announcing their engagement to the world. The humiliation was instant. Guests sneered at my cheap dress, and a waiter intentionally sloshed champagne over me, knowing I was a nobody. Anson didn't even look my way; he was too busy whispering possessively to his new fiancée. I was a ghost in my own home, watching my protector celebrate with my tormentor. The betrayal burned. I realized I wasn't a ward; I was a pawn Anson had kept on a shelf until he found a better trade. I had no money, no allies, and a legal trust fund that Anson controlled with a flick of his wrist. Fleeing to the library, I stumbled into Dallas Koch-a titan of industry and my best friend's father. He was a wall of cold, absolute power that even the Hydes feared. "Marry me," I blurted out, desperate to find a shield Anson couldn't climb. Dallas didn't laugh. He pulled out a marriage agreement and a heavy fountain pen. "Sign," he commanded, his voice a low rumble. "But if you walk out that door with me, you never go back." I signed my name, trading my life for the only man dangerous enough to keep me safe.

Bella Morgan

I walked out to the balcony with my glass of wine and I can't help but to get so excited for today. I took a knife out from my pocket and smirked looking at it.

"Happy Birthday to you, Bella." I said to myself and I sipped on my wine. I felt the cold breeze hitting on my skin and it felt so good to begin my 25th birthday.

I walked back into my apartment without closing my balcony door. I threw my knife to the kitchen table and put my glass of wine beside it. I took my iPad with me to my room and I put on my black tank top, black jeans and black leather jacket.

I looked at myself in the mirror and I couldn't help but laugh seeing myself in the mirror. I took my helmet and my leather gloves with me. I walked out from my room and went straight to the basement.

I took out my motor bike and smiled happily looking at it. I put on my helmet and started to drive it out from my mansion. I drove towards the beach because in a few minutes, the sun will rise and I want to see my last sunrise before having my revenge later on at night.

As soon as I arrived at the beach, I got off my motorbike. I took off my helmet and sat down on the sand feeling the cold sea breeze. I closed my eyes and tears started to come out from my eyes remembering why I'm starting my revenge today.

I got up and opened up the seat cushion of my motor bike. I looked at the small brown envelope and took it out. I walked slowly towards the water and closed my eyes praying for my sanity to go for revenge.

I put the envelope to the water letting the waves do its job. I wiped my tears and before taking a few steps back. I saw the sun starting to show making the sky have a beautiful orange strike on it.

"I'm ready." I said it to myself even though I'm a little bit scared but I can't back off. I walked back towards my motor bike and got on it. I looked at the beautiful sunrise once again and smiled.

"Mom, dad.. and Damian, this is for you all." I said and I rode my motorbike back to my big mansion. As soon as I got back, I walked into my bathroom and looked at myself in the mirror.

"Good morning, Ms. Morgan." I heard my secretary, Daisy, walking into my room.

"Do you have everything that I want for today?" I asked as I turned my head to her.

"Yes, we already prepared everything." She said as she walked closer to me. She gave me my iPad showing me my schedule for today.

"Do you want breakfast, Ms. Morgan?"

"No, but I want you to take my black lambo to Wilson. I wanted a new style for my car." I said and Daisy smiled nodding.

"Anything else?"

"I want you to check my penthouse and make sure to move that.." I pointed at 2 big boxes in front of my bed, "by afternoon."

"Very well, Ms. Morgan." She said and I gestured to her to go. I took a shower and started to get ready for work. I changed into my work attire and drove myself to work.
