At just 24 years old, Aaliyah finds herself thrust into a world she never imagined - one whe...
As Lia sat in her lavish king-size bed, the enormity of her new life washed over her like a tidal wave. She had barely had time to process her forced engagement to East, let alone the whirlwind of events that had followed. But now, as she stared at the daunting list of tasks ahead of her, she knew that she had no choice but to embrace her new reality.
With a sigh, Lia forced herself out of bed and set about completing her morning routine. But as she made her way downstairs to the kitchen, the delicious aroma of pancakes and coffee filled the air, a testament to Lia's efforts to make their new house feel like home.
East woke up to the enticing smell, a smile tugging at the corners of his lips. "I could get used to this," he mused to himself as he made his way downstairs.
As he entered the kitchen, East's breath caught in his throat at the sight of Lia standing before him, her messy curls framing her face like a halo. She was a vision of natural beauty, and for a moment, East found himself lost in awe of her.
"Aye, I live here too, you know," East remarked, his voice breaking the silence and causing Lia to jump in surprise.
"Sorry, pancakes?" Lia offered, her voice tinged with nervousness as she gestured towards the table.
As they sat down to eat, Lia couldn't help but steal glances at East, her heart fluttering in her chest at the sight of his shirtless form and the intricate tattoos that adorned his skin. He was a stark contrast to the polished façade he presented to the world, and Lia found herself drawn to him in a way she couldn't explain.
"We have dinner tonight with your parents," Lia spoke, breaking the silence and bringing East back to reality.
"That's tonight? It's always something," East replied, his frustration evident in his tone.
As East excused himself to attend a meeting, leaving Lia alone in the kitchen once more, she couldn't help but feel a sense of loneliness wash over her. But as she set about cleaning up, a steely determination burned within her. She may have been thrust into this new life against her will, but she refused to let it define her. With resolve burning in her heart, she vowed to make the best of the hand she had been dealt.
East paced impatiently in the foyer, his frustration bubbling just beneath the surface. He had never been fond of these family dinners, but tonight felt different. With Lia by his side, the stakes felt higher, the pressure more intense.
"Lia, come on. We're gonna be late," he called out, his voice tinged with impatience as he grabbed his car keys.
As Lia emerged from her room, dressed in an alluring mock mini dress that hugged her curves effortlessly, East couldn't help but feel a surge of attraction towards her. She looked stunning, and for a moment, East found himself forgetting all about his so called - girlfriend.

"You look good," he remarked, his voice tinged with genuine admiration as he took in her appearance.
Lia's nervous reply brought a smile to East's lips. "Thank you. Not too bad yourself," she replied, her cheeks flushing with embarrassment.
