Sunlight seeped into the grand room, illuminating the king sized bed where two bodies lay. The room was filled with the sounds of birds chirping and waves in the distance as the curtains swayed gently in the cool breeze that swept into the room.

Jane stirred, her head throbbing with pain. She let out a quiet hiss from the pain in her head and the burn of the bright light when she opened her eyelids.

Feeling a slight discomfort, Jane raised her hand to cover her eyes, but couldn’t because something was pining it down. Forcing her eyes open, she took in her surroundings and turned slightly, letting out a gasp.

Next to her, Liam's face was inches from hers, his arms wrapped protectively around her waist, and her legs draped over him.

In shock, Jane froze, trying not to wake him up. Her eyes, however, couldn’t help but drift to his face. Liam looked peaceful in his sleep, his steady breath a testament of his relaxation. The bright light highlighted his handsome features, and his fac

    “What do you mean you can’t find them?” Jess asked with a hushed but panicked tone as she watched Jane go through everything in her bags and desk for the millionth time. “I… I have no idea! They were right here!” Jane replied. For some reason, Jane could not seem to identify the emotion she felt. Confusion and disorientation overwhelmed her as she continued to search in disbelief. “Maybe you accidentally took them home,” Jess suggested, trying to calm her friend down. “I’m very sure I didn’t, Jess. Besides, if I did, I’d find it in my bag but it isn’t.” Jane said, still rummaging through her things. “Do you think someone might’ve broken in?” Richard spoke up standing next to Jane with a long fur coat that didn’t fit the weather. “It was locked when I opened it and looked untouched,” Jane sighed, finally giving up the search. Those papers meant a lot to Jane; they were supposed to be a bold statement to Liam, a challenge to ‘bring it on’. But now, they are gone. She could fe

  • Married To My Arrogant Boss   CHAPTER NINETEEN:

    “Mr. Grain, this can’t possibly be real!!” Jane exclaimed as she barged into the office of her department boss. “This contains data from 2011 till date. How am I supposed to manually input all this data before tomorrow morning? This is ridiculous!” “Jane, I'm going to need you to quiet down,” Mark said, still furiously typing on his computer. “Besides, I didn’t give that order, if you have a problem with it, take it to the CEO or your husband, I presume,” he said, looking at her with a side glance. “But, you don’t see any problem with this request?” Jane asked, visibly agitated. Mark simply shrugged, obviously less concerned. “Not my problem, Jane. I simply deliver as I was told. I would advise getting to work.” Mark finished, not giving her any more of his attention. Jane threw her hands in exasperation. Stomping out of his office, she walked back to her spot trying to make sense of the sick Joke Liam seemed to be playing on her. “I would’ve offered my help, but even ten of u

    The following day…The sound of an alarm blared in the large master bedroom and Jane rushed to her phone to turn it off. She could still vividly remember the feeling of awe when she saw the room that was hers to stay in. It was beyond exquisite. It had a rich golden hue with elegant bed curtains and luxurious furniture. Her clothes and belongings were already neatly arranged in this walk in closet and she wasn’t surprised. She had sent her bags to Liam’s house after the wedding and before their trip. This day, Jane had woken extra early to get to work before Liam. She hadn’t seen him since their last encounter in the living room and had spent the previous evening alone, exploring his huge mansion. Letting out another heavy sigh at Liam’s words, Jane picked up the keys he had given her, grabbed her bag and walked out of her room. It was a little past 7am and she had no idea if Liam was still asleep. They both had different rooms and Jane wasn’t sure which was Liam bedroom as t

  • Married To My Arrogant Boss   CHAPTER SEVENTEEN:

    It was a very bright day and the sun beat down mercilessly but it was bearable thanks to the ocean breeze that swept through the small island. The grand west trip had finally come to an end and Jane was more than ready to go back to her reality, where Liam was simply her boss. Looking back and admiring the view, Jane's hair was swept into different directions. She took a deep breath and finally boarded the huge private plane. Unlike the last time, Fiona and Chris were joining her and Liam. She was much more pleased with the arrangement than she let on. Liam had suddenly become irritable and she wasn’t thrilled about being confined in the same space with him. Jane berated herself for thinking he was a better person. He is simply a jerk. She walked down the plane aisle before finding a comfortable spot at the corner and settling in. A few minutes later, the plane took off with the four of them on board. During mid-flight, Chris offered Jane a drink, which she had accepted and

  • Married To My Arrogant Boss   CHAPTER SIXTEEN:

    ONE WEEK LATER… Liam sat behind the large mahogany desk, shuffling through data and documents sprawled on his desk. Their trip was coming to an end now, and he wasn’t ecstatic about the work that had piled up for him to attend to. With the same deep frown etched on his face, Liam tried to focus on his work but kept getting distracted by the thought of one woman which made his frown deepen. Over the past week, he hadn’t seen Jane much. Whenever he retired to their room, she was either always with Erica or completely fast sleep. He found himself wondering how the trip was going for her. She had gone into the small towns and interacted with the locals. He hadn’t gotten the opportunity to ask how it went and he doubted he would have. They were scheduled to travel back the next day and Liam tried to focus on getting some work done. He had been tasked with cleaning his father's mess and knew it was going to be a long year. Suddenly, the door to the office burst open and Fiona walked

  • Married To My Arrogant Boss   CHAPTER FIFTEEN:

    “Erica,” Liam called out, staring at the woman standing at the doorway with a protruding belly and a wide smile. “What are you doing?” “Oh hush Liam, I’m not here for you,” she said, before turning to Jane. “Chris told me you were both stuck in the storm. The weather around here can get very unpredictable.” Erica said with a sad expression in Jane's direction. “I came to check on my sister in law. Plus, we’ve barely had enough time to bond so off you go, Liam,” Erica continued, walking towards them not caring that she had interrupted the couple. Jane let out a giggle as she watched Liam’s heavily pregnant sister push Liam out of the room. After succeeding, Erica turned to Jane with a huge smile on her face. “Oi, a pity. Poor you must’ve fallen ill,” Erica said, observing the blankets, the medicine and Jane's flushed cheeks. Jane giggled again, “I’m fine. Your accent, it’s British.” Jane said in wonder. “Ahh, yes,” Erica replied, walking up to Jane and occupying the space Li

    Jane gasped, stumbling back in shock and confusion at what she just heard Liam say. “Vera?” Ethan called out. The room turned quiet and Jane knew they must have heard her. Not hesitating, she turned and ran back in the direction she had come from, into her room. ‘What did they mean by that?’ She thought, confusion clouding her thoughts. Then it finally dawned on her; there was more than they were letting on. Jane was not stupid. The revelation that Liam’s father must’ve had some shady deal with her dad, forcing them into this marriage was no surprise. Her father had told her he had gotten into debt and would need her to marry some rich shot and although unbelievable, Jane hadn’t questioned it much as she was given no choice. Then she decided then and there – she was going to find out the truth and was going to leave both families a gift for playing her. Still pondering on the matter, Jane snapped back to reality at the sound of footsteps in front of the room. Quickly, she

    Liam turned towards where she was pointing, lost for words. The footprints were recent and couldn’t be theirs so whose were they? “Maybe farmers,” he said, looking bewildered. “Someone must’ve been around,” Jane said, still looking a bit horrified and confused. “I tried to play it cool, but something is odd around here.” “Don’t be dramatic, Jane. Let’s go. You might catch a cold,” Liam said dismissing her worries. He knew he had no explanation but the thought of someone following them was a bitt far-fetched. It could be anyone even though he knew the chances of someone passing by were low. Jane let out a sneeze thatt caught Liam’s attention. “You’ve caught a cold,” he said, his face etched with worry. Jane smiled sheepishly, “yeah, I don’t do well with the rain and cold,” she said again before letting out a sneeze. Liam noticed her face was red and her body shaking slightly with little shivers. “Let's get going,” he said, before turning around. “Oh Liam, I’m so weak,” she

  • Married To My Arrogant Boss   CHAPTER TWELVE:

    Liam approached Jane, grabbing her arm a bit forcefully. “What are you doing, Liam? You’re hurting me!” She yelled, confused at Liam’s sudden and odd behavior. Suddenly, the clap of thunder filled the air, making both of them look up. The sky had darkened and heavy wind blew, whipping everything to the side. “It’s going to rain, let’s go back Liam,” Jane said, her panic rising up. Liam snapped back before abruptly releasing her arm. “Come on,” he said, leading her back into the dense bushes. Liam and Jane had barely taken a few steps before heavy rain started pouring down on them which intensified. “We need to take shelter, Jane. Come on!” Liam yelled over the loud roaring of thunder and rain. Not hesitating, Jane followed closely behind and he led her into the lighthouse that seemed to be barely staying upright. “This way,” Liam yelled, gently grabbing Jane's arm. They both got to the lighthouse relieved to finally get shelter. Drenched and utterly exhausted, Jane and L
