I stood beside my sister as I beamed with smiles.This was the very day my awesome sister was going to get married and I felt like the happiest sister alive.For years,it had been a great challenge for both my parents and I, trying to set her up with several men but she was too loyal to leave her boyfriends.
We weren't trying to ruin the relationship of the most eligible bachelorette alive ....we were only trying to help.I glanced at my sister for the last time and then I remembered the cruel story she had always carried behind her brokenheart.

"Make way!!"Alayna's secretary rushed into the elevator forcing herself into the uncomfortable space that was left as more than seven people were packed inside like sardines.She anxiously checked her watch to check if she wasn't late for the private meeting with her boss. As she got to her destination,she rushed upstairs with her heels which almost made her legs break.
"You finally decided to show up."A strong yet gentle tone spoke from the yellow curtains neatly placed in front of the windows.
"Ms.Alayna"she bowed her head quickly planning not to meet the eyes of the angry looking woman that early morning.
Alayna looked dull and had bags under her eyes.The face of the businesswoman that morning made it easy for Margarita to quickly guess what the problem was.
"You broke up with your boyfriend, didn't you?"She boldly asked her boss as if she were speaking to her classmate. The relationship between Margarita and Alayna had become stronger since the past six years and that made them speak to each other without fear.
"Hmm" was the only thing Margarita could hear from the desperate woman in front of her.That was like her 25th break-up.That was way too much for a lady like her.Her connection with guys was extremely good,but she could not understand why she had her heart broken in several ways.
Guys are bastards!! She would hear her say after every break-up trying to look like a strong lady in her suit.She had a perfectly cruved body, beautifully shaped face,blue eyes and a very soft skin which could make thousands of men bow to her.
"It's not like I haven't been through this before but.. it's too much.My reputation is being ruined by people and the media because they say I am cursed and unable to fall in love.My longest relationship was two years.Only two years... you dated Max Clayton for three years,got married to him while am still not married.Do you know how serious this is?"She poured her words out like water,not caring who was going to hear her or who was going to say she was jealous of her secretary.
"I think you should chill up.Maybe you're doing something wrong?"
"Something wrong you say? I've done nothing wrong to deserve this.The guys...they either kick the bucket or break up with me"She whispered trying to hide something she thought was a secret,but Shelby the clerk had already sold the information to the press about two years ago.
"You are not at fault.The guys are.We are going to an important party today and you shouldn't look like that.. maybe luck will be on your side and you'll get married to some billionaire or waiter or something.I'll see you there."Margarita picked up her pink purse from her table and walked away.

Margarita stood beside Mr.Clayton,her husband who was also know to be one important guest for the Business Cooperates Gala.She held a glass of wine in her left hand slowly sipping,with her eyes fixed on the exit.Alayna had not arrived for almost thirty minutes now and she was patiently waiting for her to arrive.She feared the lady had decided to end her life or flee to another country or even gotten drunk like in any movie.
"Rita baby"She turned after a hand hit her from the back.It was Kenneth,Alayna's best friend.
"Hi Ken!"
"It's been like decades since we last met.Where's my love?"He teasingly asked making Margarita's husband tighten his grip around her waist.
"She has not arrived yet .."
"You mean it?"Ken asked her, pointing at a lady in red gown accentuating her beautifully curved body.Her hair was neatly curled with a red headpin.She had a sapphire necklace on her neck.
"She's perfect!"Ken whispered not knowing that beauty was a cover up for something hiding beneath
