A Contract Marriage Chapter Fifteen
“Hey there” Ella says, jumping out of nowhere. “How many times have I told you to stop that, I almost hit you” I say, pulling her into a hug.“I think I’d bear a beating just to scare you” she smiles. I roll my eyes, “you’ll never learn” I say, walking at a slower pace.“So…” she says, her eyebrows raised at me as she scrutinises my face, “did you parents get their wealth back or something?” She asks.“What?” I reply, confused, “Ella if we got our wealth back, I think you’d be one of the first people to know” I chuckle.“Why did you ask?” I ask, stopping in my tracks as I turn to face her. She shrugs, “I saw you get down from the latest G Wagon at the school gate so I just assumed” she says, then goes quiet as she bites her lip.“Wait don’t tell me that you…” she trails off, “tell you what?” I ask, looking at her inquisitively.She shakes her head, “okay, okay I really don’t want to assume things so please can you tell me what’s going on here”“Umm” I reply, thinking about whether to

I quietly push the door open, sticking my head in for a sign of David in the room but he’s not there. I heave a sigh of relief at his absence, “I wonder how I’m going to deal with this every morning” I say to myself, as I walk out of his room and into the hallway.“Please where’s the way to the dining hall?” I ask one of the maids passing by. “I’ll guide you” Clara says, dismissing the lady, “thanks” I say, walking closely behind her.“Do you know where my husband is?” I ask, as we walk to the dining hall. She nods, “I do, he’s in the dining hall and he’s been waiting for you to join him for breakfast” she smiles.“I was just on my way to wake you when I found you in the hallway” she says. “Waiting for me?” I mutter.She chuckles, hearing me, “yes he was” she says, pushing the door open, letting me into the dining room.“Thank you Clara” I say, before walking towards David. “Good morning David” I say with a smile, “how was your night?” I ask.He stands to his feet, “Good morning my lo

My suitcases are given to the maids to carry, and David and I enter the house. “This is Clara” he says, a young lady walking towards me, “Good evening ma’am” she greets.“She’ll be your personal help” he says, walking past her. I nod, keeping close to him as he shows me around the house.“I suppose you’re tired, so Clara will show you the rest of the house tomorrow, and I’ll show you to your room”He pushes the door open, revealing a dark grey groom, built with excellent mahogany. “This is beautiful” I exclaim, taking in the beauty of this room.“Is this where I’ll be staying?” I ask, noticing the room seems to be presently occupied by someone. He shakes his head, “this is not your room, this is” he says, pushing open a door, revealing a lilac themed room with dark coloured bedding and furniture.“Connecting rooms? So we are only separated by a door” I say, he nods. I shake my head, “I’m not sure I’m a big fan of this, is it possible for me to get a different room” I say, walking arou

As the day goes by I feel my family’s eyes on me, I can tell they are hesitant about me leaving but they also have no choice but to let me go.As we gather in the sitting room, my suitcases packed and ready to go at the door, mom looks up, her eyes pinned on me, “your father and I bless this union and wish you and David a happy married life” she says, standing to hug me.“Thanks mom” I sniffle, feeling relieved that my family will be at my side and have decided to support me in this decision that I have made. The rest of the family joins the hug, and I take my time to enjoy this memory. It’ll be a while before I enjoy this closeness, seeing I’ll be leaving them.“I’ll miss you all” I cry, letting tears run down my cheek. My dad pushes his way to the crowd, enveloping me in a hug, “it’s not like you to cry my darling” he says, wiping the tears away.I nod, “I know, but I’m going to miss you all so much” I say with a shaky voice. Daniel gently pats my head, “don’t be silly, we are basic

Mom looks at me, tears streaming down her eyes as she walks away from me, my siblings rush to her side as they all take turns looking at the certificate.“Are you joking Lena?” Daniel asks, his voice booming. I look him in the eyes, “I’m married now Daniel and you all will just have to accept that” I retort, my eyes softening as I look at my dad who’s busy comforting my mum.“I’m sure there must be a reason behind this, Lena won’t just do this” I hear dad say to her. Mum wipes her teary eyes, “why did you do this? Did you not think we’ll support you in your choice? Were you planning on eloping and had some pity after giving it a thought”“Mom…” I manage to say, before being cut off by the doorbell. “I’ll get that” I say, dashing to the door, giving me an opportunity to leave the stressful environment I just created.“Sorry we aren’t not in the position to have visitors, please come another time” I say as I open the door.“I guess the big reveal didn’t go as planned,” David says. I loo
A Contract Marriage Chapter 10
I spent the entire time at school thinking about how to bring up the subject of my marriage to my parents. Different ideas have come to mind but the end results aren’t too good. I’ve even imagined my mother slapping me right across the face though she’s never raised a hand to me but I’m pretty sure this is good enough reason to get slapped.“I’m home” I sigh, pushing the large door at the entrance as I walk into the dimly lit sitting room. “How are you honey” mom says, a smile lighting up her face at the sight of me.I force a smile, “I’m good, there’s something I need to tell you guys” I say, taking a seat opposite her. She looks at me inquisitively like she’s going to prod further, but she looks away and calls for the rest of the family.“What’s wrong” dad says, walking into the sitting room, “yeah I was just about to get some sleep” Daniel says, rubbing his eyes.I stop myself from rolling my eyes, seeing that I need all the support that I can get. My sisters Carla and Dora walk
A Contract Marriage Chapter Nine
Lena’s POVMy eyes flash to my phone screen, the name David Rome appearing on the screen. Without thinking too much, I pick the call. “Hello” I say, suppressing a smile, still feeling excited at the decision we reached yesterday.Never in my wildest dreams did I think I’ll be marrying David Rome of the Rome family, yes I closely watched him but I never thought it’d really happen.I know it’s not a love marriage, but that’s what make me even happier. I didn’t have to deceive him into falling in love with me, though I doubt I can and he knows my conditions and I know his, conditions that I don’t mind fulfilling.“Good morning” he replies, his deep voice resounding from the other line, “we need to meet up at the marriage office today, to get our marriage registered”“Today?” I ask, completely shocked. I knew we were going to get married, I just didn’t know it’d be this quick. I was expecting family introductions, then a wedding being planned.“You don’t want to?” He asks, his voice sound
A Contract Marriage Chapter Eight
David’s POVThe evening of David’s Birthday “Why would my parents do such a thing?” I think to myself on the ride home. “They know I have no interest in marriage or love. I just want to get to the top of my career and get to my rightful position, the position I was trained for. But now they tell me that I need to be married and have a child before I can be considered for that position”A part of me feels angry and the other part feels understanding; I can’t help but be rational after all I was trained to be rational. A business man is always rational.I know the real reason why my parents took this route, and it was definitely not because of pressure from shareholders. They had pressured me to try dating some time back, they continuously compared me to my brother who’s married with two kids; two kids that I love so much, but I’ve never thought much of having a family of my own.And I guess they noticed that because they resorted to this. In their defence if they didn’t do this, I mig
A Contract Marriage Chapter Seven
“I want to get married to you” I blurt out, his eyes widen and his lips curl up into a smile not a usual smile but a mocking smile, “you… want to get married to… me” he chuckles.I nod, ignoring the queasy feeling in my stomach, “I want to get married to you but it’s not in the sense you’re thinking. I’m proposing a marriage of convenience” I say, nervously biting my lips.“A contract marriage?” He says, I nod, “yes, a contract marriage between the two of us”. He smiles, “I understand what you’re trying to say, but why do you think I need to get into a contract marriage and if I did, why will it be with you?” He asks.“Well, I know that your parents want you to get married in the span of two months. I also know you’re not dating anyone, please don’t ask me how I know, I just know. I also know that you need to get married to inherit your parents business and you need to give your parents a grandchild in the span of a month of your marriage. How I know is left to my discretion” I smile,
