ADRAIN'S POV:
I walked into Otalia's Group of Company. I just flew in from Canada to New York this morning because, I had an important meeting with Blake Otalia the owner of the company obviously. I was so exhausted from my flight and I have to be present for the meeting. I walked into the building when, something or should I say someone bumped into me. Okay I bumped into her so?, She should have watched where she was going. Well I don't apologise so I just continued on my way when I heard her yell "Jerk" I stopped on my tracks to give her a fitting reply but, luckily for her she already left the building. I went into the conference room.I should introduce myself. I'm Adrain Ivan Stone, the youngest and most successful multi billionaire. The media portray he as a ruthless, selfish and dangerous man but guess what, they are right. I am the second richest man after the president in NYC, you can call me corky or obnoxious but ladies fall at my feet, they treasure the floor I walk on. Well, I can't blame them, with my 6 ft 4 height, and a face like mine even I will fall for myself but I don't care about that. I was never fond of clingy women. ***After the meeting***After the 2hours meeting, I had bought the biggest share in the company, making me Blake's boss. I headed to Stone's Enterprise. As I walked into the building all the men trembled at my feet while, the women tried to get my attention by unbuttoning more buttons on their shirt and drawing their skirts higher. Pathetic I thought. I just ignored them and went into my office where Kylie, my secretary came dressed to impress. She was a pretty girl with big boobs and a nice ass maybe I'll help her when I have the time. "Sir" she said trying to push her boobs in my face. "What's my schedule for today" I left her and went to seat in my chair "Your schedule is free for today but your father called. He said you should give him a call as soon as you arrive." 'Ugh, what does the old man want now?' "You can go" I said dismissively. As she walked away I couldn't help staring at her ass. 'i'll tap that ass soon' I thought. I dialed my dad's number "Hello son" he said in a cheerful mood. If it wasn't for our physical resemblance, one would think that we weren't related because of his personality. He was one to always make jokes and laughed alot, I on the other hand, am the complete opposite. "Yes Dad, what was so important you wanted to talk to me about?" I said Rolling my eyes "Oh nothing, I was just feeling a little fatherly today" he said chuckling "Dad?" I'm exhausted already. I don't have time for his jokes now. "Can't I call my son because I miss him", "get straight to the point dad" I said getting bored already"Ok ok"he chuckled "could you come by the house this evening, your mother is complaining that she hasn't seen you in forever" I could hear my mother's voice in the background"I'm busy dad" I said sorting out files"Don't you dare give me that lame excuse, your mother is constantly nagging me about you and besides, we have something very important to discuss" he said with seriousness in his voice and I know my dad, he's never serious which means it's really important. Also, I know my mom would probably give my dad an ear full not that I care but, I do miss them a little. "Fine" I heard mom asking him if I agreed in the background 'he's coming honey' dad said to her and she started squealing like a young girl "Bye dad" I didn't even let him respond. Their lovey-dovey act can be annoying especially at their age. I continued sorting out some emails that has been pending for a few weeks now .After office hours I drove to my penthouse. I took a shower and put on a suit. I didn't bother to tuck in my shirt also, I folded the sleeves of my jacket. I got into my car and drove off again to my parent's house.It has been months since I visited my parent's house. I do love them but, I liked being alone, which is why after college I moved into my penthouse. I don't like coming home because, my parents always nag me about settling down and giving them grandchildren but, that was far from my plans now. I have no intentions of getting married or having kids anytime soon. It's not that I have a problem with kids on the contrary babies love me but, I have my personal reasons which I'll share later in the future or maybe not.I rang the doorbell and immediately the door opened revealing my mom, she engulfed me in a tight hug almost squeezing life out of me. "Oh my baby boy.... I've missed you so much. Why don't you come see your poor mother anymore"she said getting teary eyed. This is mom being dramatic. She knows that I have been busy with work "I've been busy mom, and you know that", "but..." She tried protesting "May I come in or you want me to leave?" I knew that was the only way to escape her "Right, come in baby" I rolled my eyes. She knows how much I hate it when she calls me that "Where's dad" he is not here to tease me. Thank God for that but he said we had something important to discuss "He's in his office" she said heading to the kitchen probably to check on the meal. I went to dad's office in the meantime "How are you son?" He said coming to give me a hug. After 52years of age, he still looks handsome. I guess good looks and smartness runs in my family "I'm good dad" I sat on the couch in his office. "So how was the meeting at OGC (Otalia's Group of Company)" "It was good. We were able to buy the shares. Anyway, you said we have something important to discuss. What is it?" "Right, let's go to the dinning room. We'll discuss over dinner". I wonder what it was that was taking him so long to say.We sat at the table awkwardly eating dinner. No one was gonna start the conversation and the suspense was irritating me. "Well?, What is it?" I said looking at both of them "Son.... you're getting married in two weeks" WTF is he talking about. I burst into laughter. I can't remember when last I laughed this hard. For once, his joke was actually funny. I glanced at him and my mom and they looked serious. "You're kidding right" I asked nervously, wanting him to tell me he was pulling a prank but this happened instead "I'm not kidding Adrain, you're getting married to my best friends daughter Harmony Harrison" he looked me straight in the eyes meaning he was serious "WHAT??" I got up abruptly seriously pissed off. How could he?, when he knows my past and the reason I have never had any serious relationship for years now. "Son..."mom tried to calm me down but I wasn't having any of it. "Fuck....who gave you the right to decide who I'm going to marry" I said yelling at both of them. My mom was already crying but I didn't care right now how could they do this to me "Don't you dare yell at me Adrain. I am you father and I have every right to interfere in your life especially when it's the best for you" he got up angry "F*** you" "HEY, don't you dare use such language in my house" he tried to lunge at me angrily but my mom got in between us "Stop it Desmond, he's our son" she sobbed "Then he should learn to respect me" he said giving me a death glare "Fuck the both of you. Am not marrying anyone that's final" I marched angrily to the door and was about to leave when my dad said what would turn my life around. Something he knew I can't let go of. "If you walk out that door, you lose the company"I have walked hard for that company, dedicated my life to it. It was my only way of forgetting about 'her'. How can he do this to me? "I'm so screwed" I muttered to myself. I left the house angrily and drove to my penthouse where I plan on getting drunk tonightDESMOND'S POV: "How could you do that to him?, He clearly isn't ready to move on" Taylor said sobbing "What do you want me to do?, Let him suffer all his life?, he's my son too you know" I said angrily "I know you mean well for him but he's been through so much"she said sadly. Shit I hate making her cry "Honey trust me this is the best for him. I love him too and I also want to see him smile again. Trust me love" I hugged her as she sobs softly on my shoulders.This is the best for Adrain, for all of us. Harmony Harrison is perfect for him, she'll be able to heal his wounds and make him happy again as he once was. I didn't mean to blackmail him but am sure he'll thank me in the future for making this decision for him.HARMONY'S POV: It was a bright and sunny Saturday morning in New York with it's normal hustle and bustle. I was busy cleaning my apartment from last night half sleepover. By the way I should call Meg to know if she's alright. My doorbell suddenly rang. "I wonder who it could be so early." I went to see who it was and surprisingly my parents were at my door step. Wow my parents rarely visits unless something was up "Mom, dad.... what are you doing here" I asked curiousily. "Is that how to greet your parents in the morning?" Dad asked jokingly. I quickly gave them a hug and kisses on their cheeks "Sorry Dad, mom... Please do come in." They entered my apartment and went straight to my living room. Thank God I had finished cleaning up the mess Meg and I made last night. "Glad to see you can keep your apartment clean" dad said looking around my sitting room "Dad!! What's that supposed to mean?" I asked folding my hands "What?, Don't look at me like that. Since you are a terrible c
ADRAIN'S POV:After what my parents told me, I barely called or even answer their messages. I was pissed as hell but, I can't loose my company because of a girl. I wasn't planning on falling in love and getting married anyway so, this will probably be a solution to both my parents and I.I came to see an old acquaintance of mine. We've been doing business before and I was planning on buying a new house so I went to his office. We were both discussing on houses and location when his office door burst open. An angry mad woman barged into his office wearing pyjamas and a hoodie?HARMONY'S POV:I decided to give that stupid Ken a piece of my mind. He and Meg met at a club 6months ago. I never liked him because he was always too full of himself. I only tolerated him because of Meg but now, I'm going to put him in his rightful place. How dare he hurt my best friend.I arrived in front of his company and quickly dashed into the building. I knew that his secretary won't let me in so I ran pas
ADRAIN'S POV: It was Sunday morning, I went to the office to try and get my present predicament out of my mind. I really don't want to get married. How could my parents do such a thing to me after all I have been through. I was busy typing furiously on my computer when dad called my cell phone. I was really exhausted due to lack of sleep. After friday's dinner, I barely went to my penthouse. I was just working, trying to get my mind off things. My phone rang again. For fuck sake, what does he want now? For me to give up my life? "Hello" I answered trying my best to let him know I wasn't interested in anything he wanted to say. Knowing my dad, he's as stubborn as I am "We'll be having dinner with the Harrison's tonight. Be here on time" he hung up the phone. He was angry at me but, so was I. I don't want any of this. I continued with my work when my door burst open. Nicole Kirby walked in looking so sexy as always in her short mini dress. Nicole and I were fuck buddi
ADRAIN'S POV: I arrived a few minutes late which I did on purpose. I really didn't want to be here. Anyway, here goes nothing. I rang the doorbell and was ushered in by a maid who showed me to the dinning room. I went into the dinning room and was captivated by the most beautiful sight I have ever seen. Eyes dark as ebony, skin as dark as chocolate, beautiful lips which graced the features of her small diamond shaped face. She was enchanting...... bullshit!!!Those things only happen in shitty movies. The guy falls in love with the girl at first meeting. She was ok yes, but, not to the point I'll lose my senses and start reciting poems plus, she's not my type. I apologized for being late then took a seat opposite hers.HARMONY'S POV:Megan had told me he was hot but, I never expected this. He looked like a super model, no a freaking Greek god with his grey eyes, straight nose, small heart shaped lips which looked so succulent. He was very tall compared to my 5 ft 4 height. He was als
HARMONY'S POV:First day of work was quite wonderful. I made friends with some of the staff. Like Jenny for example, she's the receptionist and she's very nice. Jenny told me the boss travelled for a few days and would be coming back today with the bosses boss. I wonder what that meant. Anyway, after settling in my office, sorting out the mails and schedule for the arrival of the boss. It was finally lunch time. I went to cafeteria to get food when I bumped into someone."I... I'm sorry" I said trying pick up the files that scattered all over without looking at the person I bumped into"CAN'T YOU WATCH WHERE THE FUCK YOU'RE HEADED?" Who the hell is he screaming at me. I stood up to yell back at him but instantly felt paralyzed. I could tell he was taken aback as well"Y.. you?" He just grabbed my hand and dragged me into a big office. Oh Lord, please don't let the boss come anytime soon."What the fuck are you doing here" he shouted."How is that any of your concern you jerk." No one
HARMONY'S POV:I stormed off angrily last night. I was so devastated. I couldn't control my tears I mean, we are not in love or anything but I can't help but wish that I'll have a happy marriage. A man who loves me irrespective of my flaws and imperfections. What have I done to deserve such an alliance. I cried myself to bed wishing all this could go away, and I'll wake up from this nightmare but sadly, this was my reality.I woke up early feeling blue with my eyes all sore. I stared at my reflection and I looked like I wrestled with a tiger. I was brushing my teeth when my doorbell rang. Who could that be so early in the morning. I went to open the door but tripped on the empty bag of chips Laying on the floor. I'll have to clean up when I get back from work. I quickly rushed to open the door but, I saw Adrain at my doorstep. Am I still dreaming.The way his eyes travelled along my body made a shiver run down my spine. No, this can't be a dream. It looked like he was about to leave b
HARMONY'S POV:It was finally Friday. The week has been so stressful with planning, dress fittings, the invites, and so on and so forth. Meanwhile, Adrain and I have barely spoken a word to each other. Is either he avoids me or just make whatever he has to say snappy unlike our usual fights. Anyway it's for the best though, I don't have any strength for him now.Today is my bachelorette party. Meg and Ariana decided to have a small house party in my home, at my insistance because, they wanted to go clubbing. So we'll be having a girls sleepover. I decided to get the house ready for tonight. It was 5pm already, the girls should be arriving soon. "Where's the bride to be?" Ariana yelled from the sitting room "Hey girls"they all came to hug me. It was four of us plus aunt Taylor's niece Lily who will be one of my bridesmaids tomorrow. "Let's get this party started" Meg, the party organizer who has taken it upon herself that we'll do everything on her to do list. We danced,
HARMONY'S POV:I am officially married now. After the reception, Adrain and I went to our new house which was apparently a wedding gift from his parents and mine. I cried a lot when saying goodbye to my parents and Meg. "Promise me you will call everyday" she sobbed in my arms. "I promise. Stop acting like I'm gonna die, you can come visit anytime and I'll visit as well" we were both a crying mess.The car ride was awkward. Adrain barely spoke a word ever since he said I do. I couldn't help but think about when the priest said 'you may kiss your bride' . I was so nervous but smart Adrain kissed my cheek. His lips were the softest thing I have ever felt. But, deep inside I felt disappointed that he didn't kiss my lips. Well I guess I'll probably die a virgin then We got to the house more like a mansion. Gosh are we expected to live here alone?. Adrain was about walking inside when I shouted "Wait!!" I gestured with my hands for him to stop. He turned around and glared at me
