Hello Royhans, before we ride on the rollercoasters of emotions in the book, there are few things I want to pass across.
**Angelina is a black girl (ie. African due to her father) but that doesn't mean she's dark in complexion. She has brown skin.
**Sweet romance, mushy scenes and Mature content (not for kids).
**Please do add this book to your reading list, and if you like the book, please do vote and comment your thoughts on every chapter because it motivates me to write more.
** I can't guarantee that there would not be grammatical errors... Do read at your own risk. (English isn't my first language).
**Not your typical bwwm adult book. This book doesn't partake in any religious aspects.
**Any language other than the English language would be translated.
**No rude or mean comment.

TEASER
".... I'm too plain and chubb...."
Angelina didn't get to finish herself belittle before she was yanked up by a very upset Nathaniel who had a determined scowl on his face.
"Where are we going?" she asked shakily but he didn't understand. He needed to teach her a lesson for thinking so low of herself. He didn't get why she thought so small of herself when she was beautiful... Fuck.. She was gorgeous, even the Goddess was jealous of her beauty that glowed brighter than the moon and fairer than the sun yet glimmer than the stars.
He abruptly opened their room door and took her to the standing mirror. Without giving her a head up, he tore her gown.
"What are you doing?" she panicked, turning her head to look at him, she didn't understand the change in him all of the sudden.
He didn't answer, he only turned her head and made her look at the mirror as their eyes bore to one another. He removed the remaining garment, leaving her in her see-through white chemise, "I'm gonna show you what you are missing," he promised in a husky voice as his calloused hand disappeared under her....

When the Rivers of love overflows
You know I'ld swim it all for you

And the tough gets going
Tell me baby
Would you go
Or would you stay with me?

» To love is nothing. To be loved is something. But to love and be loved, that's everything «.
» Epigraph «
"There's no feeling that match the feeling of being in love and being love back".
Prologue : 'No sooner met but they looked, no sooner looked but they loved, no sooner loved but they sighed, no sooner sighed but they asked one another the reason, no sooner knew the reason but they sought the remedy; and in these degrees have they made a pair of stairs to marriage.’
William Shakespeare.

"Do you take Angelina Adenike Walters as your lawful wife? " the minister asked.
"I do" he replied curtly, looking nothing in particular as his eyes void any emotions he was feeling.
The minister turned to the bride and asked, "do you take Nathaniel Xander Hugh as your lawful husband?" her heart skipped a little, staring at her unresponsive husband to be face before responding in a crooked voice, "I do".
"With the power of God, I declare both of you as husband and wife. You may kiss your bride" the minister pronounced.
Her stranger husband moved to her slowly, opened her white veil a little as he titled his head to the right side and she closed my eyes expectantly, waiting for his cold lips to hers but a gush of air passed through her face.
She fluttered and her eyes opened to know what was delaying him but she was left alone at the altar humiliated.
He left her.
She was just a replacement.
