Katherine was still in her wedding dress. The after party will start at 7'O clock. And she was waiting for her now replaced Groom, her husband to come in.
Katherine Devis/Wesley/FL
*sitting on the bed very comfortably*
Aurther Wesley/ML
*knocked on the door*
Aurther was standing near the door, the door was not closed. Katherine didn't care to close it.
Katherine Devis/Wesley/FL
(why is he knocking, the door is open, is he.. Mad?)
Aurther Wesley/ML
*sigh* Can I come in? I - I don't want to make you uncomfortable
Katherine Devis/Wesley/FL
*laughed hearing that*
Katherine Devis/Wesley/FL
Why would I be?
Aurther Wesley/ML
Well, for starters, I am not the person you were supposed to get married to
Katherine Devis/Wesley/FL
Well, I guess that makes sense. Well, doesn't matter anyways, I wasn't in love with that idiot or anything.
Aurther Wesley/ML
*got inside seeing her careless laughter*
Aurther Wesley/ML
Well *awkward* I don't know what to say. But, ahh well. I know that I am not as great as my brother.
Katherine Devis/Wesley/FL
What?
Katherine Devis/Wesley/FL
You are more handsome, richer and everything, why would you say that *truly confused*
Aurther Wesley/ML
Because I have a son, and I uh, am not really someone ladies would go for.
Katherine Devis/Wesley/FL
*blink not able to comprehend that* I am pretty sure a lot of women ogles at you
Aurther Wesley/ML
*scratch his head* really? I - I don't think so
Katherine Devis/Wesley/FL
*chuckle* You are quite cute
Katherine Devis/Wesley/FL
Right, I need to change, but no one gave the dress.
Aurther Wesley/ML
Ahh, well, yeah, the dress has been bought downstairs, I actually came in to inform you that.
Katherine Devis/Wesley/FL
Ok
Katherine Devis/Wesley/FL
Thanks
Katherine Devis/Wesley/FL
*about to walk away, but turn around*
Katherine Devis/Wesley/FL
You know, I think it was a good thing that your brother ran away
Aurther Wesley/ML
*sitting flustered with his hand running through his hair* F*ck
Katherine Devis/Wesley/FL
*already went downstairs grinning
Katherine Devis/Wesley/FL
(maybe this marriage will be better than the one I expected with that monkey)
Flashback to 4 months ago, when Katherine's marriage was fixed with Albert
Her parents had showed her Albert's picture. Seeing he was quite handsome, she agreed.
Albert Wesley/ML bro
*sitting on the swing in Katherine's backyard*
Albert Wesley/ML bro

Katherine Devis/Wesley/FL
You are handsome *shrugs*
Albert Wesley/ML bro

Albert Wesley/ML bro

Albert Wesley/ML bro

Albert Wesley/ML bro

Author/Niv
As my name suggests, I procrastinate a lot 😎
Author/Niv
So, be kind to me🙂↔️

Author/Niv
So, well, I just wanna rant right now
Author/Niv
You see, I am someone with a lot of ambition, but also, I kinda care a little too much about logic, money, parents etc
Author/Niv
Well, I wanted to go to Delhi University, so I thought of writing CUET
Author/Niv
Then, I was like - this is after I wrote one exam, Delhi is Dangerous, I am scared, and I am afraid my parents are too.
Author/Niv
Then, I thought let's see where else, i didn't like any
Author/Niv
Then I saw Mumbai University
Author/Niv
I was like, yeah, here
Author/Niv
And THEN!!! My results only came out after like 2 round or something and I was Upset, it felt like the whole universe is against me.
Author/Niv
Because, before, I had written a poem for a competition, I got 2nd, and that was not what upset me, but the fact that I got B!! My father send the poem to someone who judges at State level, and guess what? He, and like 2 professors where like I DESERVES an A for sure. This was in 12th, in 11th I was like fuck it and didn't go for anything.
Author/Niv
And before that, in 10th grade, I wanted to go for story writing competition (sub district level) because I got 1st in story writing, poetry, recitation and speech. And you could only go for 3. And my teachers made me give up on the STORY one!!! The one I literally WANTED!!
Author/Niv
I was not well versed in poetry back then
Author/Niv
And then, I was like, let's just go to a local college, And Guess WHAT!! I didn't Get the college I wanted. And I was like, yeah ok, I got the 2nd option
Author/Niv
And Now!!! It turns out, there is a uniform!! It's more like a school than a college, And I FREAKING HATE THE UNIFORM
Author/Niv
So, ladies and Gents, I feel VERY unlucky AND like the universe is against me.
Author/Niv
Also, I was kinda fucked up during 11th and 12th, constant crying, had suicidal thoughts at one point and One therapy session helped, never went back to therapy.
Author/Niv
So, clearly, I was lacking in my studies, I got 86.5% in higher secondary. So, yeah, my chance was messed up
Author/Niv
Thanks to the lab marks As I was a Science student, I got 86.5, otherwise it would be WAY lower
Author/Niv
Also, like, I couldn't go to the school I wanted in 11th grade, because, Well, You need more than All A+, like there is point for NSS and all, then for being in the same area as school, and for like, having studied in the school
Author/Niv
Honestly, my life started going downhill after 7th when I went from CBSE to state gov school
Author/Niv
Well, Let's continue the story *sigh*
Katherine Was taking a shower, Aurther Was on bed, laying fully awake, with lights out.
Aurther Wesley/ML
(What do I do now? Will she be uncomfortable 😣, but she seems to have no problem with the marriage 🤧, Should I talk to her? We didn't have a proper conversation yet because of all the commotion)
Aurther Wesley/ML
[But, she is very Pretty 😳, Why would that idiot run away!! But, i Am kinda happy he did. She must be wondering about Aarvin😮💨]
Aurther Wesley/ML
[I should have a talk with her]
Aurther Wesley/ML
*determined*
Katherine Devis/Wesley/FL
*came out of the shower, wearing silk PJs, hair wet as she rubbed it with a towel*
Aurther Wesley/ML
*unknowingly stare at her in awe*
Katherine closed the door of the bathroom, and now only the little light of the lamp was on. She sat on the bed without care, still rubbing her hair
Aurther Wesley/ML

Katherine Devis/Wesley/FL

Aurther Wesley/ML

Katherine Devis/Wesley/FL
Part of the reason why I agreed to marry your brother was the business deal it would bring
Aurther Wesley/ML
[don't smile!!]
Katherine Devis/Wesley/FL
*shrugs as she took the towel to put it on a chair and went back to bed, this time laying on it, facing him*
Aurther Wesley/ML

Katherine Devis/Wesley/FL
*sleeping peacefully*
Aurther Wesley/ML
*staring at where she is, in the dark*
