My Politically Arranged Marriage Chapter 45 : Sacrifices
Cal's POVThe host led me to the table in one of the private back rooms and I had to take a deep breath as I saw my father sitting there. This was the first time I was seeing him since our earlier meeting where he had scolded Lena and me like misbehaving children.Not to mention that the conversation we had before that consisted of him saying that he could ruin Lena's life. Even remembering that got my blood running cold."Cal, good, you're finally here," my father said, not able to miss a chance at even a small dig at me. "Let's get down to business."He said that as if he ever did it any other way. The man was always quick, blunt, and to the point.I sat down across from him without even bothering to walk over and shake his hand or give him a hug. This wasn't the time for formalities. In fact, it was just him and I."Then speak your piece," I said, relaxing into the chair as much as I could to make it seem as if I was comfortable.My father always had to be the l
My Politically Arranged Marriage Chapter 46 : Taken Away
Cal's POVDays.It has been days since I had seen Lena.When I had gotten back to the hotel room, I had found that she was missing. At first I wondered if she changed her mind again and simply just left me, but then I noticed all of her stuff was still there. She wouldn't have left without her phone at the least.I had to admit, while realizing that she was taken by secret service members should have been terrifying, I couldn't help but feel relief at the fact that she hadn't left me. Don't get me wrong though, the worry about where she was and how she was doing were the only things on my mind.Not that I had a right to care. Not with what I was going to have to do to her…My mind whirled again as I stood behind the curtain. The press were on the other side of the curtain, waiting for me to come out and make my appearance. And tell them what was going on.And ruin Lena's life.It had been days, which made no sense to me since they were in such a
My Politically Arranged Marriage Chapter 47 : Heightened Emotions
Lena's POVThey walked us down a couple of halls until they came to a plain door with nothing fancy on it. The door opened easily and they pushed us inside. What in the bloody world was happening?I could feel my anxiety building, but knowing Cal was at least with me was enough to subdue it. For now."What was all that about?" I asked incredulously.He didn't even bother to reply or take in the small, basic room around us before he stepped forward and grabbed the back of my neck, pulling me in until our lips met. Instantly, he parted my mouth with his tongue and pressed even harder.It took everything in me not to moan against him. Cal pulled back and stared into my eyes."God, I love you," he whispered.My rapid breath picked up even more at his words. "Do you really mean that?"He looked down at me. He brought his hand from the back of my neck up to my face and stroked my cheek with his thumb."Yes, I really mean that," he said softly. "I
My Politically Arranged Marriage Chapter 48 : Change of Power
Lena's POVThe sun started streaming through the window, but it still wasn't as warm or as inviting as the man's chest I was lying on. I glared at the rising beams, willing it to go the opposite direction and prolong the moment of bliss.Though after the night before, I wasn't sure there was any bliss I hadn't received.My body tingled at just the memory of it and I had to repress a shiver as the tingles danced through my body. With our naked bodies still pressed to each other, I was worried that any movement could wake him up.And as much as I wanted to talk to Cal, as soon as he woke up, I knew the fairytale would be over and the real questions would have to begin…What did this mean? What were we? Were we staying married? Were we going to stay in the states?The questions all ran through my head, but I wasn't able to answer any of them myself, let alone answer them to Cal…and what would he think?Even after all this time, and with his admission of
My Politically Arranged Marriage Chapter 49 : Supported Decisions
Lena's POVThe spoon swirling around in my tea was the only thing I could focus on in the noisy little cafe full of people."Earth to Lena!" Emily said, breaking through my reverie and really bringing me back to Earth.I dropped the spoon and looked up at her. Concern was clear on her face, but I couldn't seem to feel anything about it. In all honesty, I hadn't been feeling much since I left Cal in that hotel room."Sorry," I replied, not sure what else she wanted me to say."What is going on with you?" she asked, but it came out gentle instead of harsh."Nothing," I said naturally.Emily sighed and ran her hand through her hair. I kept my eyes focused on her, not wanting to get distracted and zone out again.It had only been a couple of days since they had flown me in on a private plane, but this was the first time I had left the house. In fact, this was the first time I had left my room. Partly because I didn't want to deal with the media again
My Politically Arranged Marriage Chapter 50 : Embracing
Cal's POVI was in such a rush to leave the house that I didn't notice Daniel standing outside and smacked right into him."Geez, you're supposed to help me, not take me out," Daniel said, straightening himself."Sorry," I replied, my words just as rushed as my actions."What's the rush?" Daniel asked, his joking demeanor changing for a serious look. He had noticed my down attitude the last couple days and had been trying to cheer me up, but now that jokester was gone."I'm going to get Lena," I said matter-of-factly, and despite the nerves in my chest and stomach, a smile spread across my face.A responding smile crossed Daniel's."About time," he stated, then fished in his pockets until he pulled some keys out. "Take my bike and go get her."I stared at him in surprise for a moment, but then the rush I was feeling surged back and I was bouncing on my heels."Thank you, I'll leave the keys at the airport for you." I snagged the keys and dar
My Politically Arranged Marriage Chapter 1 : Think About Your Country
Cal’s POVThere are no ethics in politics, only obligations, as my father loved to remind me. We never did quite see eye to eye. He was determined to make me a younger version of himself, and I was determined to make sure that never happened. “Are you insane?!” I shouted as I paced back and forth in my living room, still trying to process what he’d just said. “Cal, please try to understand,” my father implored, trying to reason with me over the phone.My heart pounded in my chest and I wondered how we got to this moment. I always knew my father was ruthless when it came to politics, but this was too far, even for him. “Why don’t you come home for the weekend?” my father asked, still trying to play nice. “We can play a round of golf and I’ll explain everything.”“No,” I answered coldly. A little colder than anticipated. “I have things to do.”My father scoffed. “Things to do. Always things to do. Well, I have things to do, too. I’m sure a lot more important than your ‘things.’
My Politically Arranged Marriage Chapter 2 : Do I Get A Choice?
Lena’s POVMy phone lit up in the holster on the treadmill. It was a message from Charles. I quickly pressed stop on the machine and hopped off, eager to get an update from him. Charles: I just got a notification. The package should be on your doorstep.No sooner had I read his message, was I running to beat Frederick to the front door. Frederick was our butler. While he was the best butler my family had ever hired, he came with one fatal flaw—he was nosy as all get out. Charles begged me to keep his secret until he was ready. I was sworn to secrecy, and I wasn’t about to let Frederick get the best of me. I reached the front door just in the nick of time. I swung open the door to find a small brown box sitting on the brick walkup. I swiped it, relieved that I had gotten to it in time.“Someone at the door, Lady Eleanor?” I heard Frederick ask, walking up behind me. “I’m afraid not,” I replied, covering the shipping label with my hand. “Just a package.”“Is that for Master
