A Marriage Of Convenience Chapter Fourteen - Lovers
Anthony's point of viewDisasters were bound to happen but not to the boy I considered my baby brother.And that disaster better not cause harm to any body I considered a family member. Because I wouldn't and shouldn't be held accountable for whatever actions I took next.Which was why I was in the principal's office giving a very serious complain."..i don't care if the boys did not know they were acting carelessly, they sent that robot to attack my brother and I would not condone it" The Principal sighed sadly, he wrote some things in a piece of paper before turning back to me."Mr Thorn" He started, cleared his throat and tried again "Mr Thorn, I know you and your family is very angry. Believe me when I say, I am scared of what your mother would say when she wants to make her own complain but the boys claimed it was a malfunction they didn't detect on time....."I scoffed at that.Liars.The Principal however remained undeterred "We would provide the relevant materials Mr Ives nee
A Marriage Of Convenience Chapter Fifteen - Late Night Shenanigans
Vanessa's point of viewAt this time of the day all I wanted was a massage and a hot shower. But all I could get was the hot shower and gossip time.I told Mary everything I felt she should know and her replies were everything."Damn, you should have knock those boys head together with their wacky robot" She laughed at the situation "That would have made those rich moms come for you though"I chuckled "I'm sure Elizabeth would have handled the situation very well, she's also a rich mom" I said.Mary made a face when I called Elizabeth's name. It wasn't a name she liked because she didn't like the way Elizabeth announced the wedding to the whole country.And the fact that she didn't know what was happening at that time."Elizabeth can be cool when she wants to be, she used to be my role model""I don't know alot about you V, I don't even understand how you're getting married on Saturday which is two days from now" She raised two fingers up to drive home her point "To a man I didn't eve
A Marriage Of Convenience Chapter Sixteen- Dirty Shenanigans
Vanessa's point of viewAnthony's house turned out to be completely different from what I had expected. It was a freaking penthouse on top of the most expensive hotels in the city. And now that I thought about it, one of the most expensive and most recent chain of hotels."You don't have to act so surprised Vanessa, I told you I was going to get into hotels and suites or cars when I got older" Anthony said after he saw my stunned expression on the fact that he was staying in a penthouse.I shrugged, tried to act nonchalant "It's okay, I just didn't expect you to live in a penthouse""I have other houses, this penthouse just happened to be my favorite"Seeing the name and amount of wealth Anthony had made for himself in such a short amount of time made me think of the endless possibilities that could have happened if Dad hadn't started drugs or mom had stayed. Perhaps I would have gotten into real estate or become a designer or even ventured into the art like my dad.Instead I had to
A Marriage Of Convenience Chapter Seventeen-Contracts
Anthony's point of viewVanessa was pretty chill throughout the rest of the night. We played games and watched a movie before she fell asleep.I just couldn't fall asleep that night.I watched Vanessa sleep for a while, the gentle rhythmic rise and fall of her chest seemed to put me in some sort of trance. Her hair sometimes fell into her face tickling her nose and I had to move it away so she won't wake up.Her face almost turned baby like when she slept, except from the times she scrunched them up. Perhaps a bad dream of some sort.Vanessa, my passenger princess was simply beautiful.My thoughts went towards what happened between us hours ago, how a light tease had almost turned into something more. Something feral. If I hadn't turned it down, I was prepared to have her right there and then but I couldn't.I needed something to keep me grounded or I would just go about having sex with her without any thoughts. I would do unspeakable things that could put a dent in this thing my moth
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
