The Twilight In Despair

“Why should I? He’s disabled. So? I know some disabled people who are rich, successful, and handsome.” Ashley sighed. “True.” “And there are those who know the truth.” “True. But I bet their jaws are going to drop when they see my brother,” she said proudly. “So, what are you going to do? I don’t…

No one had ever apologized to her before, and it made her feel so emotional. But she didn’t want to break down-not in front of him, and not in front of everyone. The priest began to say the vows, and they both repeated after him. After saying their “I do,” they exchanged the rings. Chris…

“You look happy?” she added eagerly. “Huh?” “The outing must have been so nice.” “Oh, the wedding! Oh my goodness, you missed it, Alice. The son of Percy was nothing like the rumors said. My goodness, my eyes were blessed today. He was so… handsome…” Patricia collapsed on the couch, grinning as she remembered Christian.…

Clarisse’s thoughts were heavy and distant. Of course, who would want to marry someone like me? A woman who got married and divorced within a month, then shamelessly married another man two weeks later? Who would want to marry a woman like me, someone who’s not attractive?

“I didn’t know you were so interested in my personal life.” “Not really. There’s nothing interesting about it anyway,” Christian said, dismissing him as he walked toward the exit. Kyle felt the urge to punch him but held himself back. “Rude as always. I wonder how your wife is going to cope with such a…

Patricia felt a deep sense of guilt as she realized the pain she had caused her daughter. She wondered how badly Alice must have felt. Overwhelmed, she stepped into the house, unsure of how to face her. But at the same time, she wanted to let her know how truly sorry she was. She walked…

Clarisse furrowed her brow. “Why?” “Because it’s you.” “Why me?” He moved closer to her, so close that she moved back. But he held her waist, pulling her closer, bringing his face close to hers-close enough that their noses almost touched. “Because it’s you, Ari.” Clarisse pushed him away and jumped up.

Knock! Knock! Knock! She ignored the knock at first, but it came again.
