"you can have him, I'm done with him, he is not worth keeping".. I removed my ring and threw it on his face, Alex was shocked.. "you know you are an orphan, you can't do without me, you don't have any place to go". Alex said with a smirk on his face, I went closer to him and slapped him.. "you are wrong, I will prove you wrong, you two deserve each other, carry on with the wedding preparation, I'm no longer interested"..

Surrounded by a sea of strangers, I find comfort in anonymity, allowing myself to let loose and forget about my troubles for a while. As I stumbled through the crowd, my vision slightly blurred from the drink, and I accidentally bumped into someone, I saw a tall man, an impeccably dressed man with a stern expression, instead of feeling anger, I surprised myself by wrapping my arms around him in a tight hug, in a mix of confusion and vulnerability, I leaned in and placed a kiss on his lips, catching him off guard, before the handsome stranger could react, I pulled away and when the tensions reach his peaks my stomach rebels and I end up throwing up on him..
JAMES ANDERSON
As I enter the dimly lit club, the bass reverberates through my body, creating a pulsating rhythm that matches the beat of my racing heart. I weave through the crowd, catching glimpses of swirling bodies and flashing lights. The air is thick with anticipation, and I can't help but feel a mix of excitement and apprehension. As I make my way to the bar, my eyes scan the room, searching for a distraction from my troubled thoughts. The club is alive with pulsating music, flashing lights, and a sea of bodies moving in sync with the beat. I caught up in the electrifying atmosphere, and let the music guide my every move as I danced with a random girl. Our bodies sway in perfect harmony, our eyes locked in a momentary connection. The thumping bass resonates through my veins, heightening my senses and making me feel alive. But just as the chemistry between us intensifies. As I was lost in the groove on the dance floor, a stranger slightly tipsy, bumped into me in a moment of pure serendipity. Startled by the unexpected collision she hugged me so tight, I found myself momentarily speechless. And then, out of nowhere, the stranger leaned in and planted a kiss on my lips. The mixture of surprise and shyness overwhelmed me, leaving me unable to comprehend what just happened. In that vulnerable moment, my mind raced, trying to make sense of the situation and find the right words to respond. Her face turns pale, and she starts to sway unsteadily. Before I can react, she faints right into my arms. It's a moment of pure shock and concern as I instinctively catch her, feeling the weight of her unconscious body against me. The club falls into a hushed silence as everyone watches in disbelief. My heart races as I gently lower the stranger to the ground, my mind racing with worry and confusion. It's a dramatic turn of events that leaves me questioning everything, unsure of what to do next if I should leave her there or book a hotel for her, I gently lifted her into my hands and headed to my car, and her murmurs grew, through her faint cries, she keeps calling Alex, my heart aches as I held her closely, I carried her to my car and as I was putting on her seat belt, tears fall off from her eyes, I gently wipe away her tears, as I leaned in closer to get a clearer look of her face, I couldn't help but be captivated by her beauty, a mix of emotions swayed within me, but just as I started to pull away, but she clung to me, and she murmured "I love you" in her sleep and my heart skipped, the tenderness in her voice stirred up something within me
