All it took was a promise, a promise to help him and do everything in her power to assist him when he needed it. 
A poor soul with not a single asset to her name; for the man she unconditionally fell in love with at first sight, she made a promise, a promise that landed her in a pit. 


A pit that he painstakingly dug for her and a pit into which she willingly fell.

HIS LITTLE BRIDE

Selena kept staring at herself in the mirror; she didn't know whether this particular dress was appropriate for the occasion. It was Sean's birthday, he was another year older and she was still eighteen and a bit far from her own. She had been waiting for this day fir weeks and she was glad that the day had finally arrived. 


'You look gorgeous baby, we should go downstairs. Our guests are already waiting,' Sean said as he wrapped his arms around her. 


'Do you think so? Isn't it a bit too long?' she asked worried about the length. 


'Its better this way, I wouldn't want to have a fight with someone gawking at your lovely legs because you are wearing something short,' Sean said and she laughed. How can he have such lewd thoughts for a grown up man like him? 


'If you say so then I will go out like this. Who came for the party?' she asked as she turned around to face him. 


'Just a few friends of mine and Vivian,' he replied.
