Her Resolve
Lauren Popes's life changes in a flash when she was forced to marry Andre Sebastian, a ruthless billionaire. Her sole reason for agreeing to the marriage was to save her father's company from crashing.
Despite having the means to rescue her father's company, her father insisted on her marrying Andre or ceasing to be his daughter.
Life with Andre was a nightmare; he prohibited her from working, violated their marital vows by being unfaithful, and brought different women to their marital home. His actions deeply hurt Lauren, yet she somehow falls in love with him till she discovers that her cousin, Julia, had an intimate relationship with him and is now pregnant by her husband.
Will this revelation be the final straw for Lauren, potentially marking the end of their marriage?

I’m breathing so hard now,one would think I just ran a marathon.How can two words turn me on just like that? I must be sex starved. Well…. 23 years of no sex is beyond starving.“Will you do it or should I?” He asks, breaking my thoughts.“Erm….. An..dre….what…” I struggle to find words so I just bite my lips shut.How do you even answer that kind of question? He groans quietly, staring at my lips. He runs his thumb over my lower lip that is tucked beneath my teeths, and frees them. He has come closer now, his hands now feeling my face, stopping on my chin and raising it slowly. “Does he want to kiss me?” I wonder. My heart is racing at that thought.

I’m seated with Andre at the front of the hall on our designated seat watching the guest having a great time at my own wedding while I sit and sulk. Before I get to sigh for the 100th time today, the MC announced for us, the couples, to have our first dance. Andre stands and stretches out his right hand to me with his left hand behind his back, on his waist. He smirks at me and raises his brows.One would think he’s a perfect gentleman. I roll my eyes at him and plaster a fake smile on my face before taking his hand and standing up. “What a hypocrite” I murmur.The guest cheers as Andre leads me to the center of the hall. When we get to the dance floor, he twirls me around, places his left hand on my waist and holds my right hand in his with a sweet smile on his lips. I’m startled and confused by hi

Chapter: Chapter 2Lauren“Are you going to let me in or you’re just going to stand there and stare at me?” His sharp tone brings me out of my daze immediately and I instantly move to the side and open the door wider for him to come in.I redden a bit in embarrassment, slowly closing the door behind him as I take that opportunity to quickly comport myself before following him into the living room where our parents are seated. I walk slowly behind him, taking in the man before me. He’s well dressed in a fitted black suit, with his left hand in his pocket and the other holding his phone. He walks with so much confidence, it’s almost intimidating. The room goes silent as he enters the room. He ignores everybody as he unbuttons his suit and takes a seat on the doubled sofa.
