When Love Is A Lie

When Love Is A Lie

Ingrim Dempster
Katherine endured mistreatment for three years as Julian's wife, sacrificing everything for love. But when his sister drugged her and sent her to a client's bed, Katherine finally snapped. She left behind divorce papers, walking away from the toxic marriage. Years later, Katherine returned as a radiant star with the world at her feet. When Julian saw her again, he couldn't ignore the uncanny resemblance between her new love and himself. He had been nothing but a stand-in for someone else. Desperate to make sense of the past, Julian pressed Katherine, asking, "Did I mean nothing to you?"

...The winds of love embraced their fragments with the purpose of crumbling them again...

At the airport, A certain raven-haired woman awaits her flight to California. After hearing the plane had boarded, she stood up to leave with a faint smile over her lips.

Her sapphire gaze glimmered in happiness to meet her family after a year.

When Red was about to leave, a hand grabbed her elbow and pushed her back.

Before her mind could comprehend what happened, soft lips were placed upon hers, taking her into a passionate kiss of desires and unspoken melody of affection.

Effusively welcoming the warmth of Lucifer, she wrapped her arms around him, intertwining her heartbeats with him.

Their lips moved in rhythm, glistening with the caprice blend with remorse of choosing this painful path.

Turning oblivious of the surroundings and letting out the buried emotions, they burst their emotions through their actions as they gradually pulled away.

Staring intensely at each other, Lucifer's breath synchronized with Red's who was left with the inability to speak but still feeling the sweet affliction stirring her mind.

Breathless, Lucifer leaned down, brushing his lips over her neck and began to say huskily,

"Today, I am letting you go, Red. But, If we ever met in this life again. Nothing in this universe can stop you from being mine."

And with that, He took a step back as a tear fell from his eye, gritting his teeth to contain his heartbreak, he wore his glasses to hide his tears and left her all alone at the airport.

Her smile turned into a sad one and her heart ached to hear his heavy words as they were too much for her to swallow.

She lowered her head, crushing her feelings and whispered to herself.

"I wish you could have stopped me."

~~•~~•

Coming back to the present day from the memory of 2 years ago. Red saw herself in the mirror, looking no less than an angel with beguiling looks, enhancing her features more in the wedding dress.

The divinity was as if she was a maiden, a smile crept upon her lips. She knew she was looking alluring enough to grasp any heart in her charm but she desired none.

Only upholding her stone cold heart and the compromise.

"Oh my, you are looking gorgeous, love." Her mother came, grinning

. Kissing her forehead and placing the veil over her head.

"I know you were going to wear this for the wedding." Her sister Bertha said, pointing at the wedding dress.

The best and only piece from her outlet, made for her.

"I told you, my name will revolve around the world one day." She said with a smirk, standing up and getting her bouquet of white roses and lilies.

"You are elegant." Bertha said.

"I know." Red grinned.

"Take care." Bertha hugged.

"Take care of yourself and Mama." Red said, pulling away.

"Okay. Come on, let's go." Her mother said as they left.

"Red, Today you are going to start your life anew. Forget what happened 3 years ago and make your future mesmerizing." Mrs Bennet said, holding her hand tightly.

"I know. That's why I have taken this step." Red said sadly.

"This would have come sooner or later."

"What do you mean?"

"Nothing..." She spoke in a barely audible tone.

"Bless you." Mrs Bennet smiled.

They walked down the aisle, Red slowly lifted her gaze and met with Erich's who was waiting for her at the altar.

Giving her a profound gaze of endearment, impatient for this day to come and fulfill his desires.

"Please take care of my daughter." Mrs Bennet said, handing her precious daughter to Erich.

"Don't mention, Mrs Bennet. She is more precious than my life to me." Not removing his eyes from Red, he replied. Knowing the deception of words, his voice came out smooth.

But to Red's ignorance-

His words were pure, not a fake consolation.

They stood at the altar and he complimented, "You are looking so graceful yet tempting."

"Thanks. But don't forget the reason for our marriage." She replied coldly.

"I will keep you happy." He said sincerely, holding her hands.

"Just fulfill your obligations." Red swallowed hard, lowering her gaze.

The priest cleared his throat and asked, "Shall we start?"

They both took a deep breath, looked at each other and said at the same time, "Yes."

Red heart pained as tears brimmed in her eyes, indicating her new life, trampling her past. The start, initiated by burying every fake memory.

An agonizing tear fell from her eye in which the reflection of an etched memory from 3 years ago was clearly present, showing what circumstances led to this day.

~ 3 Years Ago ~

"Just look at this sexy piece of paper." Red tittered, holding her fashion designing degree in her hands. Standing on the couch, elated.

She received her degree in fashion designing and her delight was limitless.

"Just you guys watch, I am going to make my presence firm. Red Bennet, World famous fashion designer."

“A new morning glory' will be our motto and one day, I will be entailed with Black Fabrics. I have heard they only work with famous figures."

"This is the first step, I shall reach my dream and you will see celebrities wearing my brand. Filthy rich people will die for it. My dream will be fulfilled." She went on and on.

"Of course you will succeed in life and everything you said will happen, Sweetie." Mrs Bennet clapped for her along with Bertha.

"Congrats, Red!"

"And my grand outlet will be in New York-" Bertha cut Red off,

"Hey, Hey, We have listened to your speech Red, now come, we have to cut the cake, or else I will eat it all alone." Bertha whined.

She was two years younger than Red, doing CA. Her degree depends upon the number of papers left for her to clear.

"Hey! Here I am telling you my ambition and you are not listening." Red clicked her tongue at her.

"We have been hearing it since the very first day you were enrolled in the University."

"Listen one last time, who knows I will become arrogant after becoming famous." Red chuckled, getting down from the couch.

"Stay well and become successful in life. I will pray for you two." Mrs Bennet smiled mesmerizingly at her daughters.

Red hugged her and they cut the cake to celebrate this memorable event.

They were eating the cake and Red said, "When I will become famous, Bertha. You will handle my accounts."

"Nah. I have another place in my mind to work... but.. Um.. Yours is fine as well." Bertha shrugged.

"Where do you want to work?" Mrs Bennet asked.
