Flash Marriage To My Best Friend's Father
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."Hey, Watch where you're going, fatty" a girl said to me, even though she was the one who wasn't watching.
I sighed, I'm presently at school and as usual people were snarling at me and saying all sort of abusive words to make me feel bad, but I'm used to it.
I got to my locker, put my books in and slammed it shut, which was a mistake by the way cos I knew James would use it as an opportunity to mock me.
Well, James is my long time crush and I love him, though it seems weird but I do imagine us getting married In the future and having beautiful kids.
In my world of fantasies I never knew I was smiling, until I recieved a slap on my cheeks and I snapped out of my daydreaming to see James having a murderous look on.
"I asked you a question dummy?" He snarled and I realised the whole school were staring at us and phones were already up.
"I didn't get your question?" I stuttered gazing at the floor and shifting uncomfortably between my legs.
"Well I'm not surprised your fat has properly gotten to your brain making it impossible for you to think. I wonder how you sleep comfortably" he replied with a disgusted look and the students let out a throaty mocking laughter.
Tears stung my eyes, I wasn't crying because of the embarrassment; I have received worst than this but because it was coming from someone i liked very much was so heartbreaking.
So I turned around and ran off but I heard him say "she runs like an old woman".
****
I drank from the liquor on the table, even though it burned my tongue I still forced it down my throat.
I was home, mom was off to work and would be back by 7:30pm and its still 10am by my time.
Life is damn boring. I picked up the TV remote and turned on the Tv, but nothing reasonable was going on so I turned it off.
I'm sure the whole news about my embarrassment today would be all over the school website.
But nevertheless I still logged into it and the comments I saw brought tears to my eyes.
(Did anyone noticed that as she ran out of school, the grounds were shaking, I thought it was an earthquake)
(I wonder how disappointed her mom must be I mean she's just too large)
(James should make her cry more often so she would run and loose weight, he's even helping her)
(Does any body remember when she wrote a love letter to James telling him how much she loves him)
And on and on the comments went everyone having bad things to say about me.
I threw my phone on the wall shattering it, as i held my head in my hands.
I didn't know when I slept off.
