A Marriage Of Convenience Chapter Eighty Five- Wedding bells
Anthony's point of viewEverything was a blur after that. Mom kept on screaming, she lost that calm composure she normally had whenever something was amiss. Mary started crying profusely and Vanessa tried to calm her down.It was all chaotic.Dad however, brought out a cigarette from from his pocket and lit the stick up. He took in a huge drag from the stick and blew the air out.In all my years of living, I had never seen my dad smoke before. I guessed you don't know everyone, not even someone you've lived with for a huge chunk of your life and once considered your role model."What's the matter boy? Haven't seen your old man smoking before?" He asked then smiled at me. He looked creepy now.Another stick was brought out of his pocket and extended towards me. He wanted me to join him.I moved backwards, "I'm sorry but I don't smoke" I told him.He chuckled, the sound different somehow. More morbid."Everyone dabbles in sin now and then, helps us keep a sharp mind," He told me.The so
A Marriage Of Convenience Chapter One- The Catch
Vanessa's point of viewThey definitely should give me the award for the only person that could go broke few days after she received her salary. I knew I would win that thing with such a wide berth to the first runner up. I checked the figures on my account statement for the umpthenthed time and groaned again at what I saw."What were you expecting Vanessa?" My roommate asked, she didn't even turn around to spare me a glance."That somehow someone rich had sent you some money or you just won the lottery you didn't apply for" She continued.I sighed, groaned into my hands "Perhaps" I said innocently. Mary rolled her eyes at me and did that tsk thing with her tongue. She couldn't even think about dignifying my words with an answer.I watched her apply her eyeliner with exact precision that I was jealous of. I had never been the type of person to know how to apply makeup much less draw a smoky eye wings or whatever."And you know why you don't have money, you send whatever you make in t
A Marriage Of Convenience Chapter Two- The Text
Vanessa's point of view"Well you'll marry my son of course"Elizabeth Thorn had only one child, only one son. I heard from my elder sister gossips about how she had to have her uterus removed because she bled too much when she had him. Also heard from the same sister that was why she wouldn't let us go close to our brother.Those were gossips."You do remember my son, don't you?" She asked. She was watching me closely now and I felt naked, like she could read through me and know my thoughts."How could I forget" I answered, my tone bland and dull.I took my seat back because my head was spinning around the possibility of having everything I always wanted handed to me on a silver platter but with the side attraction of getting married to her son.I leaned forward "Your son is certainly attractive enough, why can't he get married to whomever he wants without your help. I've seen his pictures with the models and actresses and even the girls that are way below his level" I whispered to he
A Marriage Of Convenience Chapter Three - A Marriage Of Convenience
Anthony's point of viewShe wasn't a great beauty or had any particular features that attracted me to her but damn had she given me one of thebest sex of my life.I watched as she got up from that bed, her waist so dainty it made me want to drag her back into bed so we could continue what we stopped."Why are you looking at me like that?" She asked shyly. She was close to the window that overlooked the grounds and the gates.I watched her as she arched her body into various positions, twisted and turnedher body to catch the early rays of the sun."You look quite beautiful my dear and damn you really know how to work a man up. It's quite adorable" I told her.She laughed, her head thrown back. She was staring at me now and had that twinkle in her eyes."And who told you I want to come a second time, you were not that good" She teased me."You know that's a lie" I teased back "I'll never tell you the truth" She said and as if she got a voice whispering to her, she winked at me."Perhaps
A Marriage Of Convenience Chapter Four - The deal
Anthony's point of viewShe would sit at the back of her class and listen to whatever the teacher had to say without missing anything. She would ace any exam she had. And she would argue with me all day long and one time, she even smacked my head because I wouldn't listen to her reason.And it was a tacky reason.I was not going to have a marriage of convenience or whatever it was my parents call it with Vanessa Ives. I was done with her. I had been done with her a long time ago.She had sent some other texts after I received the first one. Deleted them without even reading. I had no inclination whatsoever to know what she wanted to tell me.Was that why I was drinking myself silly on a Monday evening?"Marriage is not such a bad thing Anthony, if you don't love your wife, you could always get mistresses" Ronald said after I told him what happened.He wasn't drinking as he had promised to stay sober for an entire year but that doesn't mean he wasn't going to get off on some other soci
A Marriage Of Convenience Chapter Five- Announcements are in order 1
Vanessa's point of view"Then the person would shove the feelings down their throats and keep it to themselves"Anthony did not wait for me, he paid for the food and left the restaurant. Even the memories that came with this place did not affect him the way it affected me. He had truly transformed from the cool charming boy I once had a crush on when I was younger to this confident man that didn't ask for anything.Mary however was at home when I arrived, she was on the bed with the guy from the bar. And they were doing something I would rather not have walked right into."V, you're here" She said as soon as she heard my gasp.She did not get up from the bed and the guy did not even deem it right to say an hello to me and stop this shenanigans. Oh, they went right into it. My day had been quite terrific enough without any of this added to it. "Could you guys take this to your house instead of doing it all over my bed, I had a long day today and I want to get some sleep this night" I
A Marriage Of Convenience Chapter Six - Announcements are in order 2
"I'm so sorry" My hands flew to my mouth in an attempt to stop another embarrassment from pouring out of it.Elizabeth was awfully calm, she moved backwards far away from me as fast as she could and requested for a cleaner to come upstairs to clean the mess and without even a glance at me, she walked through a door at the side of the office.A bathroom probably."Take this" A water bottle appeared in my face as soon as she was gone. It was from Anthony who gave a small smile to accompany the bottle of water."Look at me messing up the advice I gave you" I said as I took the bottle from him. I needed to wash my mouth anyway and it looked like Elizabeth was in the only bathroom in this office."I need to use the ....." I didn't finish the sentence before he understood what I was trying to say. Anthony told me to follow him and I did just that, he was always leading me somewhere when we were younger and I would follow him to places where no one would expect to find a couple of children.
A Marriage Of Convenience Chapter Seven - New Roommates
Vanessa's point of viewSo the whole world knew I was getting married to their eligible billionaire and the girls would probably hate me now.Elizabeth Thorn just fucked up my entire life for the second time."Probably not the whole world but the states in the US and some other countries in Europe and Africa" Victor voiced out when he couldn't stand the silence anymore.Anthony just took a seat far away from me of course and went on texting someone, probably his girlfriend whom he needs to explain the situation to.Mary's text came before her call and before I had the chance to even read it. I placed my phone to my ear and excused myself from the kitchen."Girl, we're not cool for a few days and you go and get married to the yummiest eligible bachelor" She practically screeched out the words like a bird into my ears "And you get to meet his hot dad"I met Mary two years after the Thorn family cast us out and she doesn't know a lot about my past so she doesn't know I've met the hot dad
