“Shoot!”
We pulled away in a split second and rushed towards our agreed spots. Bright bad instructed me to stay in a room and avoid
direct contact with both parties. They would be angry at me for being one of the reasons for the breakup.
So, I went to the nearest guest room and locked the door. The voice of his mor outside made me realize his parents had arrived.
“You better not embarrass us more, Bright!”
Her spiteful voice was laced with bitterness, she was upset with her son.
“We gave you a lot of chances for the betterment of our family, but you have respect for our decisions.
Have you learned this at university?”
“Relax, dear!”
That icy, masculine voice belonged to Bright’s dad. He sounded like a calm and collected man as he said,
“We are here, dear. Let’s solve the matters through dialogues. Emotions aren’t the answer to everything.”
Shortly after Bright parents, the Lockwood family graced us with its presence. Mr. Lockwood came to the point right after the
formal greetings.
“Bright, we have come here on your request. What do you wish to say?”
That calculative, business executive’s tone dried my throat, I prayed for my fiancé in my heart. He was like my dad, cold and
My fiancé’s respectful tone slithered into my ears as he initiated the conversation.
“Thank you so much for honoring my invitation. As your time is precious, I won’t beat around the bush.”
Bright paused for a second, making me feel a cold pit in my stomach, and spoke dramatically.
“The thing is, I have met Sienna. She is a wonderful young lady. Anyone who will marry her will be a fortunate person.
I respect her, but she isn’t the one I am eager to spend my life with. There is another woman in my heart.”
The pin–drop silence following his words broke out cold sweat on my forehead. Bright openly expressed his love to prove his
point.
“Laura Green is the one I love and adore. She is a talented business lady with unrivaled beauty. I can’t even think about another
woman after loving her.
So, please accept my apologies. It will be impossible for me to marry your daughter...”
He narrated the tale of our unique love, enveloping my entire existence with the warmth of our mutual affection. Bright’s daring to
stand up for me in front of his elders deeply touched my soul.
Sitting alone in a luxurious room, I felt like the luckiest woman in the world. And unlike common ideology, it wasn’t because of
wealth. My fiancé’s love was the key factor of my glee, soaring me high in the sky. I finally believed my good luck after so long.
Before meeting Bright, I had this idea that all the men were the same, heartless and selfish, only eyeing young girls for their
beauty and age. It never crossed my mind that a bachelor could ever lay his eyes on a single mom of two kids. But then Bright
came and challenged my old beliefs, revolutionizing my life. He made me believe in love once again.
“I think Sienna must have told you about her reasons, so let’s be honest. She could have hidden everything and continued to fool
you, but she didn’t. She chose to confide you in.
Cheating someone with lies is easy, but we took a hard path and opened up to you all. That’s because we respect you.

Please consider our feelings
His pleading tone eventually left an impact on elders. Mr. Wilson raised his vice like a true politician.
I am happy that you still remember what we have taught you, Bright. Instead of playing devious schemes, you acted maturely
and filled us in.
Shouldn’t we give them credit for this, Mr. Lockwood?”
He questioned his peers, speaking in an earnest tone.
“Kids have definitely made a mistake in turning down the marriage proposal But they didn’t take any rash steps to disrespect us.
I think it’s enough to forgive them.”
However, Mr. Lockwood wasn’t impressed by this development. He spoke curly.
“Going against your parents‘ words is bound to go south. How can they throw away a serious partnership only because they
don’t feel like marrying each other?
Is life a joke for them?”
It turned out that Sienna’s family was finding it impossible to accept her identity, clinging to the marriage alliance like it would
solve all their problems. Sienna cried out in desperation.
“Sorry, dad. But I am not refusing for mere feelings. It’s who I am!
Please try to understand. I won’t marry a man!”
