Synopsis
“A passion so intense it burns my lips whenever I whisper his name. He is the first person l think of when l wake up and the last person I think of before l return to bed. It’s at moments like these l truly begin to forget what life felt like when he wasn’t there”. Leigh lives a boring and steady life of routine. She is not happy but feels content. After witnessing the death of her mother during a home invasion, a peaceful life is all she can dream of. And her boyfriend Dylan provides all the comfort and peace she may need. So she thinks. But things take a turn after Dylan drops her like a dead fish. Leigh is devastated but her devastation takes a whole new meaning after she finds out she’s been arranged to marry a man she’s never met before. Under an agreement made by her late grandfather in a contract. And when she finds out the man she is to marry is Felix Gray the CEO of a multi-millionaire company, Leigh is certain her future life is going to be far from peaceful. But maybe a little less peace in exchange for love isn’t too much of a price to pay.

Chapter 25 Leigh’s Pov “Hey Charlie could you please do me a favor?”, I asked Charlie. Turning to look at him as l dried my hands on the dish towel he’d just handed me. “Charlie shifted slightly to face me. “Sure Leigh, I’d do anything for you.” He immediately replied. Before his eyes widened momentarily and he looked away. “I mean sure. What is it you want me to do?”, Charlie said. Clearing his throat as he glanced at me from the corner of his eyes. His eyes dancing around the room. I remained silent for a moment. As l had been slightly taken aback by Charlie’s response. But l didn’t say anything about it. Something about the way Charlie avoided my gaze told me he didn’t want me commenting on it. “Ok so umm..”, l hesitated a little before l continued. “You know how this engagement has been anything but easy for Felix. And how I’ve been constantly causing him trouble ever since l stepped into his life?,” I said wringing my hands together. Charlie frowned as l spoke

Chapter 24Leigh’s Pov “Is everything ok?”, Charlie asked timidly.Before he slowly turned around and placed the pan back on the stove. Switching it off. I turned to look at him, catching his expression. And l realized he was more concerned than anything else.“No! I’m really late for work!”, l exclaimed. My voice sounding sharper than l had intended it to. As l tugged at the roots of my hair in frustration.“My shift at the cafe began hours ago. My manager is going to skin me alive”, l said. My voice less sharper than before. Although she had never actually voiced it out loud, but rather implied it. One of Mrs Baxter’s, my manager at the cafe’s, biggest pet peeve was tardiness. She hated it when people were late especially if they had no good reason for it. This one time she berated one of the employees so much for being late, l almost felt sorry for her. She was very apologetic and even had a reason for her tardiness, but Mrs Baxter still fired her the next morning. And not to m

Chapter 23Leigh’s Pov Without saying anything else, Felix moved away from the door. Running his right hand through his dark hair before he sat down at the edge of the bed.I stared up at him in anticipation, from his bedroom floor. Silently waiting for him to reprimand me for being such a burden. Waiting for him to tell me that he hadn’t signed up for this. For him to tell me that l was ruining his life and that l was dramatic. But I was certainly not prepared for what he had to say next. “Leigh l don’t understand you”, Felix began in a defeated tone. He was sitting on the edge of the opposite side of the bed. And had his back towards me, so I could not see what his expression looked like as he spoke.“But l can’t really say l tried. In all honesty, I never wanted to try. To me you were just some girl l was forced to marry”, Felix said, with a small shrug of his shoulder. “This might sound selfish, but l just want my life back.” Felix paused a little before he spoke again. “But

Chapter 22Leigh’s Pov I started to cry. As l heard the footsteps slowly approach me.Suddenly, l was nine again. And it was dark. Seating in the corner of my mothers house as the robbers assaulted my mother. It’s so dark and my breath is coming short. I am starting to feel dizzy. And my heart is thumping so loudly in my chest it’s starting to hammer my temples. “Oh dear lord, no, please no”, l silently cry. As l tug at my chest.The thumping in my chest is so overwhelming l start to lose sight of my surroundings. As my breath becomes shorter. I fall to the side, crying and gasping. I’m terrified of what is happening, of what is about to happen. So terrified, as the footsteps approach me.“Oh dear lord, please let this be a dream”, I pray. Tugging at my shirt. Desperately hoping for the uneasiness in my chest to go away.“Who’s there!”, the voice booms again. And l tremble in fear. I’m just a child. A small little child.“Pl-please…..d-don’t…hurt my mother”, I whisper. Panting as l
