Assigned Bride [Unrequited Love]

Presenting Katherine Simon's ^^ for you people.

The buzzing sound in the office of my colleagues from outside could be heard, working hard only trying to please the devil inside to get a good paycheck and not to get fired for not doing their job properly.

The bright light of my computer desk was blinding me from my surroundings, my fast typing to get my work done, ignoring the pain in my wrist for not relaxing, I was in a woman cave of mine of 4 years where I have given my all to, I have become as perfect as him to match his every step in this world of business, not upsetting the devil in any way possible. I am proud of where I have come so far; I love my job! And boy no could ever replace my pleasure to work.

I was so into my work that the shrilling sound from my phone woke me up and startled me from the undivided focus I was giving to my job.

" Melody calling,

I knew that if I didn't answer her calls, then the next thing would be the constant calling at the front desk of my office, irritating the girl at the front desk, and erupting a never-ending gossip about my character that I have maintained as a hot-headed person. And I don't want that to change; I don't want people to come any close; they are better off far away; all the world is filled with selfish creatures. Always needing something.

It's better that they are scared of me or they would suck me in half. I'm safe this way.
I don't want to be weak in front of anyone.

With a sigh, I swiped towards the green button
"Yes, Mother ". My voice came out strained.

"OO, my child, where are you? You're little sister is getting married, and her maid of honour is not even here to help" My blood boiled hearing this, Yeah right, like I would happily prepare for my bitch little step-sister and now my official ex-boyfriend's wedding; you got to be Kidding Me.

"Hello to you too, Mother, and I'm fine here in NY; you don't need to worry about me; I know they're so much on your plate already, worrying about your darling little Stella", I slowly sneered.

I heard her sigh "Baby, now don't be like this. You know that I care about you."

"I know that." I breathed deeply.

"So come back fast and help your sister"
I sighed.

"Mother I'm not the maid of honour, I'm not even the bridesmaid, what are you talking about I'm not interested in coming back"
Why would I go to a deceiving step-sister and a cheating ex-boyfriend's wedding? I better work for a salary increase; I know that what I get paid can get me a beautiful bungalow near a Stars home, but still, when I can get more, then why not?

"Katherine, don't you want to meet us? Don't you miss me or your father, darling? He misses you so much." I could hear the disappointment in her voice. My shoulder sulked upon upsetting her.

"I do miss you, Mother, and Father too, but my boss would not let me leave my work", I smoothly lied, dreading not attending. To avoid them. Where they would be happily vowing at the altar, which, years before, I had imagined with the same guy whom she is going to marry now.
I don't want to feel that pain again.
I have moved on from him and the dreams I had are no more.
I don't even want to marry anyone now cause of him. Sicking bastard.

The only feelings left inside me for him are pure hatred and anger for treating me this way.

"Ohh, that boss of yours, Katherine, you always work; you have not visited us in 5 years for god sack; just go and slap that heartless man for not letting me meet my daughter for so long. I tell you if he ever crossed the path of mine, he won't be alive to see his next morning. "I chuckled at my mother's threat; only if she knew that no woman could beat that sexy ass. They would only melt at his Greek god-like features.
