Capítulo 2: Chapter 2

Dalton and I are going to Hawaii for a honeymoon and Carl and Amara are going to Paris. It's her dream honeymoon destination and she convinced him to go there. I'm not complaining as I don't think I'll be able to see him acting lovey-dovey with her in front of me.

I came out of my wedding dress, leaving me only in my undies. I wore Snap-Button Rib Knit Bodycon Midi Dress and paired it with silver heels.

For makeup, I applied nude eye shadow, concealer, highlighter, eyeliner, and nude lipstick.

I went outside to my waiting husband. Husband. It's a weird feeling that I have married my best friend. Dalton is closer to me than anyone else. We don't keep secrets between us. He knows I'm in love with his brother and he wouldn't have married me and would have persuaded me to not give on love but I convinced him to marry me. I didn't tell him that my sister loves Carl.

Dalton looked up from his phone when I entered the living room. I looked around as I didn't have the chance to look properly. Dalton purchased this house for us three days before our marriage. I didn't see it because he wanted to surprise me. Our small house is located at the very end of the town. It's separated from the other houses. It gives privacy from the neighbours and for that, I'm thankful as I don't want them to interfere in my life.

This town is small with around 1700 population that means everyone here knows everyone. The whole town knows about my relationship with Carl but not my family. With this marriage, they got a new topic for gossip.

Back in the present, the house is really nice. It is designed in a cottage style to give it a cosy feel. Everything is white and beige in colour.

Our bedroom too is mostly covered in white. From walls to bedsheets, Everything is white...Even our en-suite bathroom is totally white. Not that I'm complaining, I love it a lot.

The house is classy yet cosy. An arm circled around my waist and bring me to their chest. The familiar smell hits my senses. His expensive cologne mixed with his natural manly smell. I inhale his scent to calm my nerves. It always works.

"Did you like our home?", he asked me quietly, like he is afraid of my answer. "Yes I love it actually", I replied just as quietly not wanting to think about something or someone.

I turned around in his arms. My Sapphire blue eyes met his forest green ones. His eyes look beautiful every time I look into them. They represent nature and are just as calm. He smiled at me and I can't help but smile back...a fake smile but a smile nonetheless.

"We should go now, the trip to the airport is long and we don't want to miss our flight". He has already put our suitcase away so I just have to settle myself in the passenger seat.

The trip to the airport was really long. I slept the whole way here. After checking in and all the formalities we settled in our seats. It takes about 8 hours from South Dakota to Hawaii so I decided to sleep again. This week has been really tiring and now my body is closing down.

After landing, 7 hours and 45 minutes later

We checked in to our room. It is more beautiful than it was on the website. It gives a perfect view of the ocean and mountains.

Dalton walked in the bathroom to take shower so I decided to change out of my clothes here. I opened my suitcase and took out a crop top and shorts. Just as I finished changing Dalton entered the room.

My heart was beating really fast inside my chest it feels like it is going to burst any second now. I know what is about to come and I'm not ready for it. I can't do it. I turned around to see him only in his boxers. He brings me to his chest. His hands-on my waist, his lips on my neck. I bring my hands up to his chest and tapped to gain his attention. He leans back to look at me.

"um, I'm not ready for it yet. Can we um do it when I'm comfortable?", I said in a small voice. "Of course", he said without hesitation and kissed my forehead. We laid in bed together. He cupped my frame from behind and brought me to his chest. It was a normal thing for us. He always used to come to my room whenever I was upset and we'll fall asleep in each other's arms. He always cheers me up. I don't deserve him. And I sure as hell don't deserve his love.

I closed my eyes letting sleep come to me. Tomorrow will be a new step towards my new life. I don't know what the future holds.

Before sleeping my mind wander towards Carl. What is he doing? Is he making love to her like he uses to do with me? The thought alone makes my heart ache so I keep it aside and fall asleep.


Capítulo 3: Chapter 3

It's been one and a half weeks since our marriage. Dalton didn't force me to do anything and for that, I'm so grateful.

We didn't do anything fun as I wasn't in the mood to leave the room. Every time Dalton asks me to go out I'll make excuses to not go. I just wanted wallow in self-pity.

I can't get Carl out of my mind. I tried, god trust me I tried but my thoughts are full of our memories, our love.

I know he's not mine anymore and I should stop but I can't. He is imprinted in my heart, my soul. He's everywhere. I just lay in bed and relish in our memories.

Due to a work emergency, we have to end our honeymoon a week earlier. Our parents are business partners and both Miller brothers work for them.

Someone from the company has stolen a large amount of money. Our parents are freaking out so we have to end our honeymoon.

Dalton went to the office and I decided to check my business. I own a small boutique. I design most of the clothes there and I have some people working for me so I don't have to do all the work. I just draw designs and other works are done by them.

The moment I stepped inside I was pulled in a bear hug by my best friend manager, Amy. Amy is my best friend since the diaper.

She knows me like the back of her hands. She is in a relationship with Evan smith, Carl's best friend. They are in a relationship since they were in high school. They love each other with all their heart.

I'm sometimes jealous of their love. They can date in public, hold hand and kiss but I had to hide my relationship.

Amy pulled me towards her office. On the way, I greeted my workers with a professional nod. After entering her office she closed the door and made me sit on the sofa in her office.

"So tell me how was your honeymoon." " How is he in bed?" " Is he big?", she bombarded me with questions.

"Geez stop I'll everything", I sighed. "Um we didn't do anything, so I don't know if he's good in bed or if he is big", I told her the truth.

She's the only person who won't judge me. Ever. Regardless of the situation. So I told her everything including how I'm still hung up on Carl.

She looked at me. "Correct me if I'm wrong. You didn't do anything with your husband? And you're still hung up on your ex? Right? Did I hear clearly?", she asked me again to confirm and I nod.

She closed her eyes briefly before sighing. "Alyssa it's not my place to say anything but what you're doing is wrong", she said softly.

"I know but I can't forget him.", I replied.

"You have to forget him", she said angrily. "I'm your best friend Alyssa and I always want the best for you. You're playing with emotions here. You know how Dalton loves you. Hell, he always has been there for you."

"I know", I replied in clip tone.

"Whenever you had needed him he's there for you. He's your husband now Alyssa. You have to forget Carl. You know he's toxic for you. Don't let your past destroy your future".

Amy has always been against my relationship with Carl. "Your relationship is toxic. You need someone like Dalton in your life, not Carl who will slowly destroy you and all the people around you", her words not mine.

And the worst thing is that I know he's toxic for me but still I can't forget about him.

He's like a drug. Addictive. You know its dangerous for your health but you can't resist the temptation. He's exactly like a drug to me. I know he's toxic but I can't take him out of my system.

"Are you even listening to me", Amy's screech brought me out of my thoughts.

"Yeah I'm listening", I lied but she doesn't need to know.

"Yeah so as I was saying - you need to move on and give Dalton a chance. You know your husband has a lot of girls falling on his feet. Before anyone tries to snatch your candy man - eat him", she said and I tried my best not to laugh at her words. She has always called Dalton a candy man. Sweet. And every girl loves him.

I sighed. She's right. I can't let my future be destroyed by my past. The past which I was so hell-bent on keeping.

"You're right Amy. I need to let go and accept my fate. I can't hurt Dalton with my stubbornness. He doesn't deserve the shit I'm throwing at him", I said determinedly.

Amy smiles softly. "That's my girl", she said.

We discussed the work for 2 more hours before I decided to head home.

I parked outside our home. Home. Dalton has always been my home. I feel safe and secure around him. He was always there to protected me from any harm. He was always there whenever I was upset. He always cheered me up.

A tear escaped my eyes. He loves me and I'm the one hurting him. I looked down at the ring that adored my finger. I looked back up determined.

I'll forget about Carl. It'll not be easy but I'll try. For me. For my husband.
