His broken piece

wake up and see it was all a dream. But here I was, staring at my food. "This has to be some kind of joke," I said to myself as I crossed my arms across my chest. I felt uncomfortable with my pos

f luck. Imagine being the wife of a hotshot billionaire. You'll have anything and everything you wished for. And he seems to be a good person," she said. "What about love?" She clicked her tongue, "Love isn't a concrete factor for anything these days. Just look at the fact that he'll be able to take care of you and your needs." "Let's be logical, Phoebe," I rubbed my temples. "We're being logical right now, Tia. Love is not a criterion for marriage anymore. There are so many people that are married without love and their living fine. Besides, you guys will look good together," she said and I rolled my eyes. "Well, I'll think about it," I mumbled as I climbed my bed. "Okay, babe. Just know I'll support any decision you make. I need to take a bath now," she told me. "Okay, Goodnight," I said and she hummed before hanging up. I sighed and rubbed my face with my palm. The next morning, I couldn't even go to work either a bright attitude.

She rolled her eyes while Jasmine shook her head at me. "Stop trying to hide whatever is wrong. Just tell us, maybe we can help." I sighed and took a sip of my coffee. "It's a long and complicated story," I told them. "We're listening," Jasmine said as she took a bite of her chocolate cupcake. She has a really sweet tooth. I took in a deep breath and decided to tell them, "A man proposed to me last night. I know it sounds absurd but I am not joking." I paused and they looked at me like I was crazy. "Explain please," Jasmine blinked and dropped her snack like she was trying to focus on what I just said. I explained to them about the situation with Anthony and kept quiet,
