Betrayed by Boyfriend Married by Handsome Uncle

"ALIYAH MALVERN! PICK UP YOUR CALLS!"

That was the text message that had just entered her phone. For a minute, Aliyah stared at her phone, wondering why her best friend would decide to text her a message all in caps lock.

'What's up with Juliet?' Aliyah muttered to herself before dropping the phone on the bed and deciding to start dressing for school.

Just as she passed by the ceiling to ground mirror, she paused, standing before it, her lips soon stretched into a big smile, remembering the night before she bit her lower lip and moaned the name 'Justin'.

"Damn! I am such a bad girl." She blushed.

Closing her eyes to relive the moment from yesterday, ecstasy ran through her; she felt herself on cloud nine. Last night was the night she had given up the most precious thing, her cherished prize, her first night, not to any man but to her one and only, the love of her life, Justin Alward.

Yeah, you read that right... Justin Alward, the next CEO of the Alward group, is her boyfriend of three years.

"No way!" She exclaimed, snapping her eyes open. She had just remembered something.

"I can't wait to see forever with you, babe." Justin's words resonated within her, and she grinned all the more.

She was damn getting engaged!

With pride and arrogance, she waved her hand before the mirror, imagining that a beautiful ring was on it.

The ringing of Aliyah's phone brought her back to reality. She picked up the phone, a frown settled on her face, seeing it was Juliet, she wiped the answer icon.

"Juli-"

"Where the hell did you put your phone, Aliyah!" She yelled. Aliyah had to quickly put the phone at a distance, saving her eardrum.

With eyes rolling, she returned the phone to her ear and answered, "And a good morning to you, too, Juliet." Aliyah greeted, her eyes drifted to the wall clock, oh, she was already running late.

"Aliyah, you need to check YouTube right now, channel 334, you need to, now," Juliet said, urgency lacing her tone, making Aliyah wonder if everything was okay.

"Wha-"

"Now!"

And with that, the call ended. For a minute, Aliyah stared at her phone in utter confusion before doing as her best friend had said.

She paused her action when she noticed that the said channel had a lot of followers. She slowly sat at the edge of her bed and was about to click on the live video when a thought dropped into her mind.

.... Was Justin proposing to her on that channel ... During their lovemaking, he had actually hinted at marriage, she didn't want to push it so as not to scare him, because she can't afford to lose Justin, he was cute, handsome, sexy, romantic, oh goodness!

Her heart really can't bear all the happiness, he would propose to her! Oh goodness!

With great joy and a big grin on her face, she clicked on the channel.

Damn! Could this ever be more romantic!

The happiness she was feeling made her stand up and begin to pace around, ready to see her boyfriend in his beautiful and expensive tuxedo, looking all handsome and romantic for her, only her, then him on one knee with a bouquet of flower in one hand, a little box in another hand, with a beautiful smile on his face as he ask her the big question!

Damn! Aliyah!

But her pacing came to an abrupt stop, her smile slowly dropped as instead of Justin, Aliyah's eyes met with that very person that had made her whole life miserable after her father's death, her stepmother, Madam Priscilla, and beside her was her stepbrother, David, both were smiling broadly.

"Why the hell would Juliet tell me to tune in to this -" Her annoyance building up, her words got stuck as the headline written in bold italic font on the screen hit her vision, she quickly brightened her phone.

Must she have seen something wrong?

"Aliyah Malvern, the Malverns' first daughter, is a bastard, an illegitimate child. A child from a dirty secret affair."

Aliyah's heart dropped.

No!

This is not happening!

No! Tears began to sting her eyes, so she quickly increased the volume.

"Wow!," The presenter exclaimed, surprise written all over her face, obviously shocked by what she must have heard. "So you're saying that the first daughter of late Albert Malvern, the one he exceptionally dotes on, is an illegitimate child?"

Tears began crawling down her face as Aliyah remembered her late father, the man who was and will always be her hero. He loved and cared for her so much that, unknowingly, her stepmother and siblings grew jealous and hated her, which resulted in maltreatment, though they hated her, but in front of her father, they pretended to love her.
