My Husband’s Bestfriend

Arthur’s POVBella arrives at the bar, ordering a strong drink. A mixture of whiskey and vodka and she downs the drink immediately, rushing into the crowd to dance. She’s swaying her hips, hands in the air and she moves deliciously well and it's not a surprise when she gets people's attention. A man in a leather jacket and pants, with a white shirt underneath the jacket stands behind her. She turns to the man, her brown orbs glistening with mischief and she leans into the man's touch, pressing back on his body to seek friction.She wants to ignore whatever voice in her head telling her not to do something stupid but stupid is fun, stupid feels good, it feels amazing to make bad decisions. When you make bad decisions, half of the time, they are things you badly want to do so why not finally do them and think about the consequences later. That's exactly what she wanted to set her mind on and it was working perfectly for her so far seeing there was a hunk of a man behind her, pressing in

Chapter 1It’s a normal sight to see a man and a woman getting asked or forced to marry for the benefit of their family. Back in the days, if a certain household owed money, they’d look for a way to pay off the debt and this included selling off their daughters for marriage no matter how young they were which was absolutely disgusting. If the debt is paid off, your daughter can return but if she’s not, she stays with whoever she wants sold to until the debt is cleared. Change is inevitable, now they actually let the females become of the right age and tag it a contract marriage instead of using the word “selling off”. Bella is just twenty five, small in size, about 170m tall. She has pretty brown eyes, full lips, full eyelashes that casts a shadow on the bridge of her nose whenever she closes her eyes. A pretty prominent nose, a nice jawline, she is gorgeous and it’s no surprise that she gets hit on countless times but neglects the attention.She got married three years ago, when she

Arthur’s POV  Gabriel isn’t exactly wrong. Bella knows how much he does for her family and so she always tries her best not to provoke Gabriel so his family doesn’t end up suffering alongside her.“When I ask a question, I need you to be vocal. I’m gonna ask you again, I hope you know that your soul belongs to me and your life is in my hands?”“Yes, I know that and I'm sorry for staying out without telling you. I—I won’t o do it again:” Bella says, her tears finally falling on her face and she stares at her husband’s eyes, searching for sympathy but it’s just an icy cold look she gets.

Arthur’s POV Bella stares at her phone even though it’s 2am and her phone finally starts ringing and the sound startled her but there’s a smile on her face when she sees ‘Mason’ on the screen.She picks up, chewing her lip and holding back her smiles.“That was fast, were you waiting for my call?”Bella can hear the amusement in the man’s tone.“I just happened to be with my phone.”“Sure, I believe you. How are you?”“I’m fine, I guess, I'm just anxious. What about you?”“I’m okay, what’s making you anxious?”Bella sighs at the question, cuddles closer to a pillow.“What I’m doing, with you. It’s- Ughmm- it’s wrong.”“Don’t overthink it and I won't do whatever you’re not okay with. Gabriel won’t find out either, I promise.” Mason says and Bella can hear the sincerity in her voice and she believes him.“Okay.”Bella stays silent because she’s awkward this way and she doesn't know what else to say."Saint?""Mhmm?""You looked so pretty today by the way."Their conversation afterwards

Arthur’s POV Bella is back on her seat. Mason had something to discuss with Gabriel and they moved to a quiet corner to talk about it but she didn't miss the looks she was getting from Mason.She couldn't help it, she was smiling because she liked the way Mason was looking at her then at her plate of untouched steak. She starts eating anyways, regaining back her appetite only because she wants to do something too, for Mason.*"I'm coming over tomorrow. I don't need too much stuff since I'm only staying at your place for a week." Mason tells Gabriel and the man nods, his eyes stopping at Bella who's now eating.Mason followed the trail of Gabriel’s eyes and smirked when he could see Gabriel watching Bella."What did you say to her in the bathroom? She’s suddenly eating." Gabriel inquired with his eyes never leaving Bella who's now drinking her water, a pout visible on her rosy lips."She was crying and then I asked him why, she said it was nothing and she was overreacting. I asked if
