Chapter 1
Alessia
At the wedding
"This girl is so disgusting!!"
"Yes she is, can you imagine she has been lying to people this whole time that she is going to get married to Billionaire Ethan, just look at her? How on earth can a handsome, charming rich man like Ethan marry such a shameless lady like her, who goes around and spread her legs for money? Someone sells her body all in the name of money?... If it is true that she is getting married to Billionaire Ethan today then it means she seduced him, so that all her bills will be covered" I was standing in front of everyone holding flowers and a ring in my hands, some were laughing, some were gossiping me, saying I wasn't worth Ethan's love.
Within time Priest walked over and came to where I was standing and whispered in my ear
" Ms, where is your fiancee? Where is Mr Ethan? We have been waiting almost an hour? He should have been here by now" I took a deep breath before answering him, I looked at him and whispered
"Priest, you know Ethan is a bussiness man right? He might be busy with his business, please let's wait for him. I promise he'll be here in less than 30 minutes" I said, the Priest nods while agreeing with me.
(people)
"What is he talking about with Priest? Maybe he's convincing Priest to sleep with her again?"
"Where is the Groom?" As I was standing, all I could hear were people's voices, everyone was saying what they wanted, some were even criticizing me. Deep down I knew Ethan was gonna show up, there was no way he was going to abandon me, especially on our wedding day!
I was patiently waiting for Ethan, but he didn't come. Time kept passing, and I started to feel worried. I looked at my watch and checked the door, but Ethan was nowhere to be seen. I felt so disappointed and confused. "Where could he be?" "But didn't he forget about the wedding?" As the minutes ticked by, I realized Ethan wasn't coming. I was left to pick up the pieces of my heart. I grabbed my wedding dress and walked towards where the Priest was standing and when I got there I said
"Can I please have your phone, I need to call him before my heart breaks too much. I left my phone home" I whispered. He handed me his phone! Thank goodness, I knew Ethan's numbers. I dialed his number and called him, and he picked it right away
📱... Ethan where are you. Everyone is waiting. We are getting married today remember?" I said.
"You're just a fool for waiting for me. I'm married, and my wife comes first. You're nothing but a side thing to me. I've used you for my own pleasure, and now it's time to throw you away. You're left with nothing but tears and broken dreams. Get used to being alone, because I'm done with you Alessia. Find someone else to waste their time on, because I'm not interested in you anymore." Ethan whispered, no wait that wasn't him maybe!
📱... Ethan? Eth...." It was too late call had already been disconnected. I was exhausted, I just took my hand away from my ear and the phone fell to the ground by itself! No maybe I was just imagining things, the man I fell for, the bastard I was in love with for 5 good years, has been married? He never loved me? He just wanted to use me and then go to his wife? Am I the ugliest girl ever? Am I not beautiful enough for him? Or maybe because I'm poverty, and I have a poor background that's why he decided to go to his level? "Oh my God, you knew he never loved me why didn't you stop him before he shattered me" I felt a burning sensation, so I took off the veil from my head and threw it to the ground, everything, including the ring, I was already feeling the pain of it, I threw the flowers in my hands to the ground, I really wanted to scream, I really wanted to cry hard, but it seems like everyone's eyes were on me!
No, I was humiliated enough, not anymore. Ethan's words were still ringing in my ears, my heart started to break slowly as I could hear them, tears started to roll down my cheeks. I held my wedding dress with both my hands and ran outside,
"Hey Ms where are you going? Is the wedding cancelled?" Priest screamed, I didn't stop, I kept running and ran into the tar road and started running heading back home,
Introduction
Well it's Alessia Williams, 22 years old.
I grew up in a small city, with Aunty Gini, my dad's sister, her full name was Virginia but we called her Gini, for short. My parents all died when I was young, mom died of a heart attack, then dad died of Cancer, it seems like Cancer was a family tradition because even Aunty Gini, who I lived with, had Cancer that was close to her heart. So when my parents died, Aunty Gini became both my parents, she would make sure I went to school and ate, she would make sure I came back and ate, and my school fees were covered, when I was in form 2 she got married, and gave birth to a baby girl, Mandy who was already 12 years old. So we were living with Aunty Gini, Mandy and I, she got separated from her husband Mandy was still breastfeeding. So that was the only family I had, at first Aunty Gini went to work until I realized it was better to stay at home because the sickness was getting too much, so I was the only one who saw if Mandy went to school? Did she eat? Just like she used to do to me, taking care of me when I was young.
Time passed, then I met Ethan, at the age of 18 and fell in love, at that time he was 26, a young billionaire man, I was hoping that he'll take care of my family, Mandy and Aunty Gini but I was wrong, Ethan was sweet sometimes, then about bills he promised to take care of that responsibility as soon as we get married... Sometimes he was weird, he was incomprehensible. But since I loved him, I understood everything he did or said! If I only knew I would have never allowed myself to smile with him for the very first day we met....
Back to the story, as I was running, holding my wedding dress, a car stopped on my side, and the driver said
"The bride is running away? Damn she is so beautiful? Gorgeous can I give you a lift?" The man in the car whispered, I picked up a stone and threw it at the window of his car and said
"I hate man! I HATE YOU. ALL MEN ARE LIARS...he left me on our wedding day, come on drive your car and get lost you idiot" I yelled. Honestly I wasn't thinking properly, as I was on the way running I thought of passing by the bar on the side of the road, sitting on their stool and crying my sorrows there, because once I reached home, Aunty Gini wasn't gonna allow me to cry, she always hates seeing me crying, she would say" I never raised a cry baby" oh yeah Aunty Gini didn't come to the wedding because Ethan said he would hire a car for them, that was the only reason why they were still at home... I reached the bar and sat outside, on the bench.
As I was sitting, trying not to cry, a tall old man approached me while holding a magazine in his hands and whispered
"Hi beautiful, what do you drink? Champaign? Whiskey or..." I cut him off and said
"He left me, he said I must get used to my loneliness, he never loved me"
"Excuse me" the man replied
Then I got up and grabbed his color and started shouting and said
"I said he abandoned me, he never loved me, he was using me. Imagine he is a married man."
"Ms are you ok?" That man asked, then I removed my hands from him, I realized I was being harsh on him and I quickly apologized
"Look I'm so sorry, I'm just hurt"
"No problem, no wonder who is that bastard who left a beautiful girl like you in the streets. I was asking which type of a beer or wine do you drink?"
" I need water, only water" I replied to him. He put the magazine he was holding down and picked it up and started reading while waiting for him, I was a little bit shocked seeing Ethan Greenwood and another girl on the magazine...
" Mr Ethan and Mrs Siena has won an...." Before I could finish reading another car arrived that looked like it was for money, I kept looking at the car waiting to see who the dude was getting in there. The man was wearing normal clothes, he was looking so simple, I said in my heart " yeah that's my type, he is handsome and simple, at least he's not rich. Otherwise he's gonna break my heart, that's how rich people are, they use you and break you into pieces"
" Here's the water, I am Jayson, the Owner of the Magazine companies what about you?"
"So you're also rich and famous right? I hate you, I am nobody. Here's your water, drink it and leave me alone. From now on I don't flirt with rich people, especially old ones, I mean sugar daddies like you Jayson"
