I have always been devoted to my husband. Although he married me as a substitute for his white moonlight. I had no problem because he is the man I love since high-school. Even when he proposed to me as soon as his moonlight left to study abroad 5 years ago,I agreed without thinking about the cuenqicunces of being used and not iloved.At that time I didn't think much because I thought I could change his heart and make him love me the way I love him. I had a little hope that maybe one day he will forget his white moonlight...ohh boy how wrong I was.
My name is Emily Lancaster born in a poor family. I lived with my mother and father who never made me feel like we were poor, they made sure I always had everything, also made sure to give me a proper education and mostly important thing... happiness. They are just the best parents.
And they boy I had a crush on when I was in high school. He goes by Ethan Miller. The top and most respected family all over the town. He was the only heir of the Miller that is why everyone respected him even the teachers because no one wanted to mess with Millers. And you may be wondering how I got in the same school with him while I come from low class. The thing is I was a scholarship student only few could get scholarships to be a able to learn in this top high-school.
At my first day to this school after receiving news of my scholarship. I was walking freely on the road with words in my ears when a ball almost knocked me out. He rushed in like a super man andfastly pulled my hand not roughly but enough to get me into realty and get what was going on. When I looked up to meet his brown dasling eyes I lost my breath. My heart couldn't stop beating like crazy. And I couldn't help but smile as he kept talking to me which I had no idea of what he was saying because I was lost. He snapped his fingers and brought me back to reality and the word I heard was "weirdo" and he left me on the same spot still smiling. And that's when I realized it was love at first sight. The feeling is amazing and I was loving everymoment of it.
Years past and my love for him only grew and grew until I decided to confess and that day was after our last exam paper. I was so nervous when I approached him with a red rose my hands shaking like crazy. He was with his friends at the play ground. I tabbed him gently on the shoulder and all the attention was on me. I gathered my carauge and confused
"Ethan I like you a lot...will you be my boyfriend" after saying that I raised the flower with two hands which he took without hesitation and that made me happen. Bur what he did next shattered me completely.
He looked at his friends and back at me. And without a warning they started to laugh really hard which confused me and my tears started to gather in my eyes.
He threw the flower and stepped on it...and that move made my heart to hurt so freaking much. He left with his friends as stood there crying silently.
As days went by I worker with my parents at our family shop.We sell noodles coffee corn dogs and snacks. I worked to clear my head and in no time I was back to normal. when the graduation day arrived I was present at school and it was really fun until all students gathered at where Ethan and Isa stood
Ethan was on one knee proposing to Isa which made students shouts 'Yes' repeatly and that made my heart ache. All I could see in Ethan's eyes was love, warmth. He only looked at Isa that way. Isa looked at Ethan and everyone became silent to hear what she was going to say.
"I can't be with you Ethan I am going abroad to chase my dreams" her words left everyone speechless including me. But I was a bit happy because maybe I also could get a chance. Isa turned to leave but be for she could take two more steps to leave she heard gasps making her to turn to the direction at see what was going on.
Ethan took silent steps towards me making everyone around whisper. My heart was beating repeatly so hard that it wanted to get out and run on its own. I couldn't even breathe normally. He stopped inches away from me and silent fall.
"Emily Lancaster will you be my girlfriend?" When those words left his mouth I couldn't help but smile. At that point my mind was screaming years my heart was making jumping Jacks...I nodded positively.
"Ye..." before I could complete the word I felt warm soft lips crushing on mine without a warning. At that point I swear my soul left my body. As I was still processing everything he gently bit my lower lips bringing me back to reality and that's when I found myself responding to the kiss.
Everyone was shocked, some nerds were happy for me because they knew I had a crush on him and some gave us deadly stare saying why me out of all girls. His friends, well they were speechless and confused on how they're friend Ethan the only heir of the Miller could settle to a lowlife like me when they know exactly he only love Isa. Isa was standing there trying to process what was happening. Her eyes carried... sadness.
After a breathtaking smooth kiss Ethan's lips left mine and his eyes were on me watching me as I catch my breath. My mind couldn't stop screaming because that was my first kiss and it was marvelous🥰.
Ethan looked at Isa with a smirk on his place and wrapped his hand warmly around my waist
"Starting from today Emily is mine and the future Mrs Miller" he smiled and looked at me with a warm smile I couldn't help but smile. Everyone was shocked so shocked that they thought they were dreaming because they all knew Ethan loved only Isa.
Isabella just clapped her hands with a smile and left without turning back and leaving a word. Ethan's friends looked at her as she got in her car and left the place. They kept their focus on Isa until she was completely gone before their focus came back to their friend who was still holding me gently, with that look saying 'bru are you planning on just watching your love of your life leave just like without fighting for her?'. But he did nothing he just looked at them with a smirk on his lips and me? I was over the moon my mind was screaming finally we got him. At that point I totally forgot about what he said to me when he rejected my proposal.
AT THIS POINT I STARTED TO UNDERSTAND WHAT THEY MEAN WHEN THEY SAID LOVE IS BLIND. BECAUSE I WAS BLIND I DON'T WANNA LIE.
That day I couldn't stop smiling and blushing when I got home. My lips still felt his lips his warm touch, his genuine smile. My parents were amazed by my mood they couldn't help but wonder what happened to me. I sat with them and shared what just happened to me. They were both happy and concerned for me because they didn't trust Ethan after those horrible things he said when I confessed and now he wanted to marry. "we are happy for you but if it doesn't work out with this marriage please baby dirvoce and come home okay?" My mother said that while holding my hands and my dad just looked at me nodding positively. I just hugged my mom because I understood that they care about my happeness even though they weren't happy with this marriage the supported me because they care about my happiness.
AND YEAH I TELL MY PARENTS EVERYTHING THAT HAPPENS TO ME...ANYWAY BACK TO THE STORY.
Tye following day we went to the civil affairs center to get our marriage certificate. I thought everything that happened yesterday was a dream but no even today am not dreaming am marrying my crush The Ethan Miller I couldn't help but pinch my hand just to makeke sure I wasn't dreaming. And yeah I wasn't dreaming it was really happening. I was no longer Miss Lancaster but I was Mrs Miller. How bizarre is that.
5YEARS LATER
It's been 5 years of me being Mrs Miller. I took great care of Ethan after we got married. I left my dreams of becoming the most top designer of jeweleries and take care of him for 24/7. I took great care of him hoping one day he will notice me and let go of his moonlight.
I cooked dishes he loved most. I even sacrificed my love for spicy food just to accommodate his taste bite because he hates spicy things. I also learned how to make medicine for his stomach because he has weak stomach, especially when he consume too much alcohol.
Our marriage is boring because he never shows me affection no matter how hard I try he pretend like am invincible. We don't bond like how husband and wife do. We live like two strangers who lives in the same building. And I don't even know when was the last time he touched nor kissed me. The last time he did was that day he proposed to me. And the worst part is that he hides me. we never had a normal wedding and only his friends and our parents know about this marriage. His parents weren't satisfied with this marriage because they want him to marry in a household with status. In public he is single and those who knew what happened 5years back they say he is waiting for his white moonlight. His only true love.
Today I woke up in the good mood because Ethan will be coming back from his 3 weeks business trip overseas. I will be seeing him tonight. I made sure I cook every dish he likes and yes I made all of his favorite. Starting from sour &sweet ribs, pork meat, fried rice mixed with veggies, green salad, smashed potatoes, fried potatoes and tops up with a fine red wine. The only king you get from overseas.
I spent all day preparing to make everything go smoothly. Night came and he still wasn't around. I started to worry because always when he got back from his trip he would come home first. Time ticking as silence kicked in harder, the food were starting to be cold and I was starting to be inpatient because it was 23:45. As I was busy checking the time my phone started to explored with non ending messages from a group I used to going when I was still a student. The group has been quite till today.
