Unwanted: Story of the Fiancée

I sat there, sipping tea with my future mother-in-law. We were going over the seating arrangements for the engagement party. A certain name caught my attention. Rory Gilmore, I knew she was a reporter, but she was also an old girlfriend of Logan's, his only girlfriend, rather.

"Shira," I started, "Is she invited?"

"Is who invited?"

I pointed to the name with a mixture of disgust and jealousy, but covered both up with a smile. "Rory Gilmore." I said the name with great disdain.

"She's going to be there as a reporter, Victoria, nothing more." I was assured; after all, I was the 'lovely Fallon girl,' the one destined to be the next Huntzberger wife. One Rory Gilmore wasn't going to change that.

I put on my pink square neck Vera Wang dress in getting ready for the party. It had a pleated bodice and hugged my figure well. My diamond engagement ring glittered in the fluorescent lighting.

"Victoria, it's time to greet the guests…" Shira said from the doorway. I stepped away from the mirror and walked to where Shira and Logan stood.

He looked uninterested; Shira straightened his tie and beamed at us. I took an arm that he did not offer me and we walked down the stairs. The guests clapped for us and I loved it. His eyes showed me that he was off in another world.

I'm dying for a place in your heart

I saw her talking to Stephanie and Colin, who had gotten married just a year ago. I hadn't seen her there. Finn, Rosemary, and little Alex went up to them. So she knew them too.

Shesaid goodbye to them and walked back to her table. My future sister-in-law walked up to her and they started chatting up a storm. Shetook my future nephew in her arms and held him.

I felt like going up there and slapping her. She was making my chances of being accepted by Logan's friend just so much harder. They all looked at me with disdain. I knew what they said about me… I didn't care, I was marrying Logan, and that was that. Nobody could change that.

Boy was I wrong. The headline sent a sinking feeling through me.

"Keep the ring," were his last words to me.

I saw this headline a year later and it made want to cry, but I didn't. I was in public, and a good society girl never shows her emotions in public. I didn't get it, Shira didn't even like her, Elias didn't approve of her, and Mitchum didn't really care for her.

Why did they pick her over me?

Oh right, because Logan wanted to be with her. Not me.

What would it take for you to be with me?

It should have been me celebrating with them about the birth of a son: the heir, and a daughter: the heiress.

But then again, I wasn't wanted. At least, not by Logan.
