Trapped In Love ✓ by StellaAdamsHere

"C- Can you move b- back a little?" My words made him smirk and if it's even possible, he came closer. Why do I always have to stuck between him and the desk?! "Why? Am I making you nervous?" "No." I lied. Ofcourse, he was making me nervous. His eyes had the power to hold a person on his place and that's what his eyes were doing to me. "Really?" He asked, putting his hands on my waist and pulling me closer towards him. On instinct, I put my hands on his chest. I didn't like it. I didn't like the way my body was responding to his touches. "T- This is un- unprofessional." I choked out the words, but I wish I couldn't have. He brought his face closer, so close that I could feel his minty breath on my lips. My lips parted accordingly in shock. "Oh, is it?" He said, mockingly. Oh god! What have I gotten myself into? •••• Aaron Steele, the CEO of the multi billionaire Steele's Company was the eligible bachelor of 25. He always had his way among girls and having blue eyes, a chiseled jaw and a hot body, didn't help either.

Sienna Collins was a girl of 22 with extremely shy personality.

"Father? " she calls in a cranky tone "What is really the meaning of these documents? ". He scoffs and sips his coffee less concerned " What does it look like? " he snaps "It's an arranged marriage obviously". He continues reading his newspapers and a tear drops down her face. " Father why are you doing this to me? " she whimpers "Why do you badly want to punish me? ". She chokes back the tears that were threatening to pour out " Because you've refused to grow and change!" he rasps "You have just decided to kill me before my time. You have already done enough and i'm quite fed up". He closes his newspaper and leans closer to her. " You are going to show up on your wedding day and marry the man i have chosen for you. Don't make things harder than it already is". He sprang up and storms out, she fell to the floor sobbing in unbearable pain. *Helena, a perhaps spoilt, wealthy young woman with the face and body. Of course she's every mans' dream but she rather sees men as a toy to be used and tossed aside.

Bride by Design by 0O0ooAOoo0O0

Halfway through her walk, her secretary appeared. Helena stopped to hear what he had to say. My vision for this long awaited day shattered when she tossed her veil away. "Excuse me!" The sound of my heart breaking into tiny little pieces was deafening and the murmurs of shocked family, friends and guests were muted. The wedding official's voice cut through. "Are you ok, dear?" Was I? For someone who was left standing at the altar... A jilted bride... I pushed the pain away, "I'm alright." The signs were always there. I only have myself to blame for the humiliation I had to suffer again today. I fell in love on my own so it was only fair to hurt alone. Fairy tale endings weren't for everyone; I knew this at the back of my mind. I may be foolish for thinking it but I always believed love has requirements; a beautiful face, a kind heart, deep pockets, a backbone - the list goes on. The requirements to be loved in return varied in proportions. So... Did I meet the standards? I had the money to entice her family. I had the backbone to stand by my decision to marry. I have a heart that loves her alone. I just fell a bar under beautiful. One could say I was passable. Somewhere along the line I must have missed and failed a mark... Just passable... Maybe that was the reason why she just passed me by. © All rights reserved
