A Marriage Of Convenience Chapter Eighteen- Spa Time
Vanessa's point of viewMary and my sister had plans for me today.Mary and my sister, my sister whom Mary did not like at all had plans for me.And they gave no information about this plan to me, just a 'Dress hot' and wait for the Uber we ordered by 7pm.What was a girl supposed to do with such a vague piece of information.Could it be that they had prepared a bachelorette party for me.I dismissed the thought from my head. Mary would have surely asked for my opinions if she did something like that. But she had been acting like she was on a quiet time since I came back from Anthony's place. She even left the apartment without telling me anything.Out of boredom I texted Anthony.Me: Seems I might be getting that bachelorette party after all *party hat* *smiley face*I had spent the night at Anthony's house. We almost had something close to sex. He was still an amazing kisser. He had given me a contract that wasn't half bad and the opportunity to do whatever I wanted.If I gave it a
A Marriage Of Convenience Chapter Nineteen - Weed brownies and cakes
Vanessa's point of view"I know your secret"I stared back at the text for a few seconds, my mind already thinking about the possibility that someone out there knew a secret of mine.I had tons of secrets. Which one would it be?"Vanessa, are you coming?"Another text came from the same number."Sorry, wrong number. I was supposed to send this text to my cousin"And suddenly all the tension rolled out of my body. I turned to Mary and plastered the biggest smile on my face."You were saying, sorry I was a little distracted" Mary had this look in her eyes like she wanted to ask a question or say something but changed her mind at the last second and went into a long talk about the importance of pampering yourself once in a while.The apartment building was the same way I left it, the only difference was the bouquet of roses at the front of my door. "That's beautiful, I wondered who sent it" Mary cooed when she saw it, she rushed forward to pick it up and bring it to her nose taking a d
A Marriage Of Convenience Chapter Twenty - A little sister's chat
Vanessa's point of viewThe party was not where I wanted to be at the end and I honestly would have preferred if Anthony had crashed the party.But he didn't and he didn't text me. Despite the numerous drunk texts I sent to his number, Anthony Thorn aka A Thorn in my Flesh refused to text me back.I took a huge gulp out of some sort of alcohol I did not know and waved at people I did not know, smiling and laughing when they wished me a happy marriage life while I'm struggling not to yell It's all fake to whoever was willing to hear.I wasn't mad at my sister for whatever happened. She had issues in her marriage and honestly her husband wasn't the best of husbands. He was a chronic gambler and a house painter who broke his leg during one of his painting jobs and was now waiting for it to heal so he was a stay at home dad."He beats me Vanessa" Victoria choked down a sob or a laughter I could not tell which one as she talked "Whenever he lost a bet or a game he would punch me in the eye
A Marriage Of Convenience Chapter Twenty One- Soon to be a bride
Vanessa's point of view And we arrived our apartment by 12am that morning. Victoria was fully sober now while I was drunk and bumbling around like an idiot.I must have said a couple of things that did not make sense because I could feel her whispering into my ears.The name Mary kept on appearing in my subconscious mind but I could not for the life of me understand what the heck was going on.I was out as soon as my head fell on the pillow.The sunlight on my face was quite warm but the headache that assaulted me wasn't funny. I felt like the insides of my head was constantly being hit by the hardest hammer in the world.The groan that escaped from my lips was involuntary. I tried to get up but honestly the only thing I wanted to do was sleep throughout the day.I wouldn't even get up for the ......The Wedding.The speed I used to rise up from the bed could be added to one hundred ways to die because what was this. The headache came in thousand fold this time."Argghhhh" I groaned
A Marriage Of Convenience Chapter Twenty Two-No Emergency
Vanessa's point of viewThe only thing amiss in the Thorn mansion was the lack of anything worthy enough to be called an emergency.However there was a few new additions. Not at the front of the mansion but at the back situated in the garden. Chairs were wrapped and arranged carefully side by side and there was this small pulpit where the priest was going to ordain the marriage.Elizabeth was nowhere to be found but I could see my sister and Daniel, Elizabeth husband ordering some people around and cussing out loud when they got it wrong."Where the fuck is the emergency and my brother?" I shouted out loud to no one in particular but to everyone that could give me answers.Mary was by my side but she said nothing.The activities going on in the garden continued going on but Victoria and Daniel turned around at the sound of my voice. Daniel gave me a strained smile that did not reach his eyes while Victoria was ecstatic to see me."I'm so happy Anthony was able to get you to come on ti
A Marriage Of Convenience Chapter Twenty Three- Here Comes the bride
Anthony's point of viewThe urge to go into the bathroom right after Vanessa went in was stronger than any other situation I had seen myself in. I remembered the electric jolt I felt when I came into the apartment this morning and saw her lying on the bed, her body in this sort of babies position with her hair covering her face. She looked so much younger, I almost felt like we were in high school again.Then the call from dad about Victoria's dad going ballistic on Victor and he needed me to come sort out the issue. I could not leave Victoria alone but luckily for me, her roommate arrived at precisely that moment.Now here I was, taking the man I spent so much time grooming myself yesterday back to the rehabilitation center.Why did he have to behave this way?The car drive there was quiet because I had nothing to say to him at the moment. Sometimes when I was sure he wouldn't see me, I stared at him from the corner of my eyes.Vanessa, Victoria and Victor's father. The famous artis
A Marriage Of Convenience Chapter Twenty Four-First time
Anthony's point of viewThe after party was interesting enough but honestly I just wanted to go home now. The events of the day had really exhausted me.My grandparents had gotten Vanessa in a chokehold and did not seem to want to leave her side any time soon. I knew my grandmother was already smitten by her judging by the numerous amount of times she kept on holding her cheeks.My grandfather too but he wasn't going to show it.Honestly, I just wanted to walk past without anyone noticing but my grandfather had eyes sharper than a hawk. He saw me and he called me over. I couldn't move forward without looking like a rude man who would definitely hear about it later."I see you guys have become acquianted with my lovely wife" I said, placed my hands casually on her waist then place a kiss on her cheeks.Grandma smacked my hand "Don't you think you guys have done enough kissing for today. Don't traumatize the older generation" She placed her hands over her eyes to drive home her point.G
A Marriage Of Convenience Chapter Twenty Five- Honeymoon
Vanessa's point of viewWatching Anthony sleep peacefully after everything we did made me realize I actually wanted to start working as soon as possible.I did not want to rely too much on Anthony and his mom. And Victoria would be going to college soon if everything worked out. Oh my gosh.Anthony's penthouse was the definition of exquisite and modern. He had not given me a tour yet and the first time I came here, I was too much of a chicken to take the tour by myself.His kitchen where I had prepared breakfast this morning was nothing short of the latest technology. Something I knew he hardly used because though Anthony could cook, he preferred not to. It had take some practicing but I got used to the few gadgets I needed to use to prepare breakfast.I had seen his room. Had spent the night there and this morning too.But the rest of the apartment was still a mystery. I moved around the apartment taking note of the rooms, perhaps I could turn one to a designer workshop. The room I
