She walks out of the hall, while her sister gets married to her fiance in her stead. Will Henrietta find strength to heal and move on?

Chapter 1 Hell yes!

Henrietta's POV

By this time tomorrow, I'll be a married woman. It's hard to wrap my head around it.

Three years ago my parents introduced me to Peter, the love of my life.

He was from a very rich home and our families are doing business together.

I never thought I'll fall for him but he was sweet and treated me like a queen, buying me gifts and taking me on trips.

He never once commented on my curviness or my boring brown hair and eyes. He always called me beautiful.

So when my parents said we should get married I immediately said yes because Peter was perfect and I couldn't imagine my life with someone else.

I came from a modest home. We were comfortable and lived in harmony.

I'm the eldest out of three children, my sister Chloe and the last child Jack.

Chloe was my maid of honor in my wedding. We grew up like typical sisters. Fighting one moment, thick as thieves the next moment.

Where I'm voluptuous, Chloe is stick thin. She always attracted attention anywhere we went because she looked like a model.

Our parents also compared us a lot, 'why can't you be like Chloe?'

I had a little low self esteem as a result but Peter helped be realize that I am beautiful and smart regardless of what anybody thinks.

Speaking of Peter, I know the groom isn't supposed to see the bride before the wedding but I just missed him and really wanted to see him.

I snuck into his room in the hotel we are using for the wedding.I might have bribed the receptionist for his key. The things we do for love.

I walked on light feet because I wanted to surprise him. He's always doing nice things for me. I just said let me return the favor.

I heard voices so I slowed down at the hallway to his bedroom hoping I don't disturb his conversation .

I wasn't eaves dropping but my ears stood at attention when I heard my name.

"Henrietta is so stupid. She thinks I love her. I don't know where you guys got your sister from. She's fat and ugly. I can barely even carry her. How will we cope in bed? If she rides me I won't walk again" his chuckles mixed with a feminine voice.

I heard Peter say to who I guessed was Chloe. My suspicions were correct when she said," come on baby she's still my sister"

Baby?

"she's stupid that's just a fact. If not for my father saying I have to marry the first born, I'd have gone for you. You're more my type than that elephant"

His words tore open my heart and silent tears rolled down my face.

My sister giggled and then I heard strange noises like they were kissing.

But that can't be right. My sister would never betray me. Right?

I stuck my head out to see into the room and my heart stuttered to a stop.

She was on his lap wearing only a thong. And he was buck naked.

"can you believe that in three years your sister only allowed me to kiss her? Just kisses. If not for you I'd have died of blue balls long time ago"

"I remember the quickie we had in the bathroom next to her room. The day you first came to the house to sign the papers. Do you remember?"

"I can't forget that day. You had on this tight red dress, you were just enticing me with your body throughout the dinner" he kissed her shoulder while his hands roamed her body

They have been together that long? He said it was fine to wait! He said it's best we waited till we got married.

I've been a fool all along.

My heart broke into a million pieces and I managed to hold in my sobs so I don't alert them.

"are we going to continue this when you get married?" Chloe asks while kissing his neck.

"hell yes! How do you want me to survive? Look the moment we get married I'll tell her you need to stay with us so she's not lonely" he replied her.

She just giggled, not even trying to defend me and I realized that they have been playing with my feelings.

Their movements got more heated and I decided to record them in the act.

They will know who's stupid tomorrow.

I can't get married after hearing this. They will have to cancel the wedding.

I recorded a five minute video. Just torturing myself, watching them together.

It made me realize that they know every inch of each other.

He knew exactly where to touch to get her to moan like crazy.

Their sounds grated on my ears, making my tears to fall faster and my heart to beat even faster.

I started to see spots so I left the room before I could go in and confront them.

I quietly left the room, locking the door on my way out.

I took the elevator back to my floor and went into my room.

I collapsed on the bed, hyperventilating and thinking I'll pass out.

I cried myself to sleep thinking of what to do next.

I contemplated calling my mother but all she will say is 'just leave her. She's your junior sister she doesn't know better'

I have always been blamed for Chloe's messes even as we are full grown adults.

My parents never supported me in anything I did.

I earned more than Chloe, I had my own house already but I am never good enough.

Now my future husband has been hijacked by Chloe, just like all my other boyfriends.

I dragged my hand through my hair, accidentally hooking my ring in it.

I removed the ring and stared at it.

An object I wore proudly for a long time. Now all it brings are bad memories.

I fell asleep after sending the video to someone else. The wedding will go on.

MY MASTERS

MY MASTERS

Mercy Kay
4.9

For as long as Emily can remember, she has wanted to overcome her shyness and explore her sexuality. Still, everything changes when she receives an invitation to visit one of the town's most prestigious BDSM clubs, DESIRE'S DEN. On the day she chose to peruse the club, she noticed three men, all dressed in suits, standing on the upper level, near the railing. Despite her limited vision, she persisted in fixating on them. Their towering statues belied the toned bodies concealed by their sharply tailored suits-or so she could tell. The hair of two of them was short and dark, and the third had light brown-possibly blond-hair that reached the shoulders. The dark, crimson background incised their figures, exuding an air of mystery and strength. They stood in stark contrast to the unfiltered, primal energy that pulsed through the club. Shocked by the desires these men aroused in her, she was disappointed to learn that they were masters seeking a slave to divide and conquer. She couldn't afford the fee, and she also realized that they were outside her league. Emily hurriedly left the club, feeling disappointed and depressed, unaware that she had also caught the group's attention. A world of wicked pleasure, three handsome men. Over the years, they have lived a life of decadence, their lavish lair serving as a stage for their most sinister desires. But despite the unending parade of willing subjects, one woman sticks out. A mysterious stranger with white porcelain skin and a killer body, a slave, a name with no address, the first lady to attract their eye and they will go to any length to obtain her no matter the consequences.
