Chapter 1 C1

Life is strange. It can be annoying and it can be soothing. The first time I felt so much pain was realizing how much people opposed my thoughts. One man said I was being stupid. He said I think I'm wise. Another said he'll love to live just to laugh at all my dreams that won't come to pass. I wrote a thousand poems and a hundred books. I saw this dream coming to pass. Everything was coming to place. In bliss, I was doing just all I had to do to be successful and have a good love experience. It was an achievement for me. Guess I got it all wrong. My poems were stolen by thousands of people.

My books got lost and I had no access to any. Life can be difficult and it can seem easy in the most amazing way you may not think of. It could just be that mentor inspiring us to keep going. This would be a story of a single parent who did a lot of all we do just to get to our destination. Her name is Mary.

Mary used to be in love. It's funny; she wasn't really in love with anyone because she knew he will never say yes if she took the step. She loved the idea of having someone to love her back. Someone who would be there for her no matter what. So in her mind, she created this ideal man that would be perfect. He would be the one to make her feel like the most important woman on earth. A man who would be ready to accept her flaws and mistakes and still love her. She lived in her imagination. For many years, Mary waited for him. She read books about relationships hoping that she would meet him soon. All her friends kept telling her that he was probably around somewhere, just waiting for the right time to introduce himself. But Mary believed otherwise. Time passed and she grew tired of waiting. She started living her life as normal. Then one day, after school, Mary met this boy. His name was Joe. He was very handsome and kind.

It was on one of those sweet afternoons when she went shopping. She walked briskly past the stores until she came across a store where clothes hung up on a rack. The place looked too small. She could see only one thing: a dress. It was black. It had a neckline that made her look sexy without exposing much.

"Oh God, I'm sorry." The voice of a young man spoke. "I almost ran into you."

"No, that's okay. You didn't," She replied.

"Where are you going?"

"Here and there. Shopping."

She smiled. He had a beautiful smile. His hair was brown and his eyes were blue. He was tall and thin.

"I'm Mary." She introduced herself.

He laughed.

"Joe. Nice to meet you. Are you going to buy that? It looks nice on you."

"Yeah, it does. But I don't have enough money for it." She answered.

"You should. It's worth every penny. You know what? I'm going to pay for it." He paid for it and requested dinner with her.

"Sure, sounds great! What time?"

"Seven o'clock. I'll pick you up at your house."

They exchanged phone numbers and parted ways. Their conversation lasted less than five minutes, but they both felt something different from each other. They couldn't explain what it was exactly. That night, Mary waited for seven to come. At six-thirty, her doorbell rang.

"Come in." She opened the door.

Joe entered. He was dressed in a white shirt and jeans. He brought a bouquet with him. "Wow!" She exclaimed as she saw them. "These are lovely. Thank you."

Joe nodded. "You're welcome. Shall we?"

"Yes." Mary nodded.

The restaurant was close to their houses. It was a fancy place. The food was delicious. They talked and laughed the whole evening.

After dinner, they left and headed home. Mary invited Joe inside. "Can I call you tomorrow?" She asked.

"Of course. I'd like that."

"Good. See you then."

Joe smiled. He knew that he wanted more of Mary.

***

Mary and Joe dated for four months before they decided to take a break. They spent the next week together. They were happy. And then, one night, Joe came into her bedroom while she was dressing.

"Hey." He said. "Are you ready?"

"No," She replied.

He sat down beside her bed. "Don't move."

"What do you want me to do?" She asked.

"Just sit tight." He replied.

Mary did as instructed.

She heard the sound of something dropping on her floor and then the sound of a key turning in the lock. "Did you lock the door?" She asked.

"Yes, I did."

"Why did you get in here in the first place?"

"I let myself in."

"Why didn't you knock?"

"I was afraid you wouldn't open for me. I'm sorry."

"Okay, get out of here." She ordered.

He stood up. "So you'll be angry with me forever?"

"I can't stay mad at you forever."

"Then why are you?"

"Because you cheated on me! Do you think it's that easy to forgive and forget? Look, Joe, I want to understand why you did what you did to me and I want to let go of it but I just can't. It's hard!"

"I didn't cheat on you. I just met someone and was nice to her. Believe me, I love you with every atom of my being."

"You lied to me!"

"I didn't lie."

"How else can I trust you?" She snapped.

"Let me talk to you." He pleaded.

"No! You've done enough damage already. Get away from me!" She yelled.

She got up and walked towards the door. "Get out now and leave me alone."

"Mary, please!"

She turned around. "Go to hell! I am so sorry for trusting you. I shouldn't have ever done that." She said sadly.

"Please! Don't do this to yourself. I'm begging you. I love you. Let's try again."

"Try again? What do you mean? What is there to try? We're finished, Joe. Just go."

She closed the door behind him.

I Slapped My Fiancé-Then Married His Billionaire Nemesis

Jessica C. Dolan

Being second best is practically in my DNA. My sister got the love, the attention, the spotlight. And now, even her damn fiancé. Technically, Rhys Granger was my fiancé now-billionaire, devastatingly hot, and a walking Wall Street wet dream. My parents shoved me into the engagement after Catherine disappeared, and honestly? I didn't mind. I'd crushed on Rhys for years. This was my chance, right? My turn to be the chosen one? Wrong. One night, he slapped me. Over a mug. A stupid, chipped, ugly mug my sister gave him years ago. That's when it hit me-he didn't love me. He didn't even see me. I was just a warm-bodied placeholder for the woman he actually wanted. And apparently, I wasn't even worth as much as a glorified coffee cup. So I slapped him right back, dumped his ass, and prepared for disaster-my parents losing their minds, Rhys throwing a billionaire tantrum, his terrifying family plotting my untimely demise. Obviously, I needed alcohol. A lot of alcohol. Enter him. Tall, dangerous, unfairly hot. The kind of man who makes you want to sin just by existing. I'd met him only once before, and that night, he just happened to be at the same bar as my drunk, self-pitying self. So I did the only logical thing: I dragged him into a hotel room and ripped off his clothes. It was reckless. It was stupid. It was completely ill-advised. But it was also: Best. Sex. Of. My. Life. And, as it turned out, the best decision I'd ever made. Because my one-night stand isn't just some random guy. He's richer than Rhys, more powerful than my entire family, and definitely more dangerous than I should be playing with. And now, he's not letting me go.

I received a pornographic video. "Do you like this?" The man speaking in the video is my husband, Mark, whom I haven't seen for several months. He is naked, his shirt and pants scattered on the ground, thrusting forcefully on a woman whose face I can't see, her plump and round breasts bouncing vigorously. I can clearly hear the slapping sounds in the video, mixed with lustful moans and grunts. "Yes, yes, fuck me hard, baby," the woman screams ecstatically in response. "You naughty girl!" Mark stands up and flips her over, slapping her buttocks as he speaks. "Stick your ass up!" The woman giggles, turns around, sways her buttocks, and kneels on the bed. I feel like someone has poured a bucket of ice water on my head. It's bad enough that my husband is having an affair, but what's worse is that the other woman is my own sister, Bella. ************************************************************************************************************************ "I want to get a divorce, Mark," I repeated myself in case he didn't hear me the first time-even though I knew he'd heard me clearly. He stared at me with a frown before answering coldly, "It's not up to you! I'm very busy, don't waste my time with such boring topics, or try to attract my attention!" The last thing I was going to do was argue or bicker with him. "I will have the lawyer send you the divorce agreement," was all I said, as calmly as I could muster. He didn't even say another word after that and just went through the door he'd been standing in front of, slamming it harshly behind him. My eyes lingered on the knob of the door a bit absentmindedly before I pulled the wedding ring off my finger and placed it on the table. I grabbed my suitcase, which I'd already had my things packed in and headed out of the house.
