Marrying Mr. Arrogant

Before I knew it, a week had passed. I discarded Dariel’s words, not thinking about them.‘What the hell was his ordeal anyways? What does he want from me?’ I thought casually.Jared must be living happily in his marriage and I should search for my soulmate too. I couldn’t stay at one point.Humming to myself, I was wrapping my work to return home and surprisingly Sarah, my elder sister, called. Must be to get burgers on my way home.“Hell-”Instead, I was greeted with her panicking voice, “Saafia, come home, quick!”“What happened, Sarah? Is Father okay?” I asked worriedly. Our Father was in a coma and his condition was worsening day by day.“It’s not about Father. I have no idea what is going on, someone is here. Come home and deal with the mess you have created.” She scolded.“What are you talking about? What did I do?” My mouth gaped.“Just come home, dammit.” She hissed and cut the call.“What’s her ordeal?” Mumbling, I shook my head, taking my things, completing my work and ret

After he left, a few weeks passed with no sign of him again. I knew he wouldn't leave my trails easily. He was not that type of man.I was having a feeling the next time we will meet, I won’t have another choice but to marry him. ‘What he wanted to gain from it? It couldn’t be all revenge, was it? Why did he want me? All this sham? Ugh, why am I thinking about him!?’I failed to shift my mind from his proposal. For a moment, I also thought about it- What could possibly go wrong? ‘No, no, no, stop thinking like this, Saafia.’The next week, I went to work a little late and saw everyone was working furiously. My mouth gaped, blinking to perceive what I missed in thirty minutes.“What the hell is happening?” I whispered, grabbing my friend, Anne’s arm. “Did you hear? Boss is selling the company. We will work under a third party now. You missed his speech. I saved you by telling him you went to the bathroom.” She whispered back.“What? Why?” That was unforeseen. Things were going exc

Starting my new life with the least wanted man I had no attachments towards, I started the first day of my marriage when sunlight fell on my face.Groaning, I stretched my hands. No doubt his mattress was so comfy that I wanted to sleep all day long there but for the sake of the first day, I sat up.“Morning.” I yawned when I saw him setting the collar of his white shirt and wearing his gray waistcoat, getting ready to look aesthetic as always.“Finally you are awake.” His nonchalant tone came, applying his cologne before turning to me with a frown and arms folded at his chest, making his strong muscles visible through the white shirt.He was no doubt handsome.“When did you wake up?” I asked, checking the time. It was eleven in the morning and I couldn’t help it, it was his bed’s fault. “I woke up early. I am a punctual man. I am used to my timings and schedule.” His stern response came.“Boring.” I muttered. Getting out of the bed, running my fingers through my hair. Trying to i

In the evening, I organized the whole room before he could come so it wouldn't bring a scowl on his face.Everything aside, I could understand he returned exhausted and judging his behavior, it would infuriate him to find his things out of their way so as an act of kindness, I did it.Humming to myself, I was using my phone, waiting for him and the second he entered, I put my phone down immediately, rushing to his side.“Oh, you are back. Welcome home.” I greeted with a smile which brought bewilderment on his face.“You look awfully excited to see me in one day.” He mumbled, scanning me with stress, placing his bag to the correct position, checking the room as well.“You cannot imagine the deadly silence of this place. How did you manage living here alone?” I whined, going after him, noticing the sigh which escaped his lips when he saw the neat room. “I am accustomed to it.” He shrugged calmly, back facing me.“Maybe that is why you are so sour.” I mumbled, sitting on the couch to ge

I started avoiding him after what happened at the hospital. I felt stupid to feel better by his words. “I should have known he was insincere to everyone.” I muttered, wearing my hoops. A grimace lingering on my face. I got ready for the event he organized to show the world our so-called happiness. We wore matching maroon outfits too. “Are you ready?” Irritated like always, he entered and his eyes fell on my maroon mermaid dress, observing me from top to bottom. He was wearing a three buttoned suit jacket, spelling opulence. Hairs combed perfectly, holding an assertive frontage. Looking handsome as always but his appearance was deceptive. “Why did you dress up like a doll? Is it for our guests? To attract others? Because I don’t see you putting in any effort for me at all.” Ignoring his stare this time, I put my hand on my waist with a frown. Resting his hands in his pockets dominantly, he walked closer, standing before me to intimidate me. “And then you say you are not wait
