I will Marry You

Christopher and I exchange glances, and it takes me a while to respond to him.

“I don’t mind,” I say and finish the rest of my sentence in my head. ‘As long as Brenda doesn’t force her way.’

I really do not mind being single if Christopher backs off from the marriage arrangement just as long as Brenda doesn’t get him.

“Do you think it’s possible to maintain two roles after what went down between us?” Christopher asks, expecting an honest reply.

From the way he is staring at me, I believe he begs to differ.

“As long as we both don’t mind, there is nothing wrong with it,” I say and end up regretting it because I sound desperate now, so I quickly correct myself.

“Christopher I know that we’ve both come a long way and a lot has happened between us. Believe me when I say I don’t want to mess your life up. I can’t afford to lose my job. I need it, and that’s why I want you to keep me.”

Christopher nods, his brows knitting in curiosity. He leans back into his seat and says to me, “Wh

    As soon as I clock off work, I drive straight to a branded store to buy a new dress for tomorrow’s event.I dare not go to the previous mall for fear of bumping into Barbara Collins as I’m worried on her reaction when she says a black card in my hands.Fortunately, I don’t have to worry about that and shop to my heart’s content.Though Christopher had instructed me to get whatever I wanted, I’m still a bit sceptical about spending his money, so I’m mindful of the price tags.As I’m going through the third clothing rack, a call comes into my phone. Lo and behold, it’s Tessa so I quickly swipe my finger across the screen to take it.“Hey, girl! Are you off work?” Tessa asks excitedly.“Yeah, some minutes ago,” I reply, sounding excited because I am.“Do you have an outfit ready for tomorrow?” she asks almost immediately.I stare at the pink jumpsuit in front of my eyes and smile. “I’m on it.”“I have some time now, let’s shop together.

    My little reminder at the dinner table is enough to keep everyone away from for the time being.Mum and Dad has to know that even though the hand the best man in the whole world to me, I will never forget what they allowed Brenda do to me.I can’t have them relaxing and thinking that I’m cool with the past even though the future might hold better benefit for me otherwise, that will give Brenda an edge to hurt me further.Brenda would be dreaming if she thinks that I wouldn’t stop mentioning how she went behind her own sister’s back to steal her boyfriend and even get engaged to him.A deep sigh escapes my lips as I step out of the bathroom after a warm bath.

    I slip Christopher’s black card back to him when I go into his office to serve his morning black coffee.“Thank you so much,” I add as I present the card.Christopher looks up at me before taking it from my hands. “I didn’t receive the total debit amount I was expecting,” he says to me, brows furrowing. “Did you buy everything you needed?”“Only the necessary ones,” I quickly reply, trying not to read the meaning behind his words. Was he expecting me to spend more of his money?“Next time, just get everything you want without holding back. It’s not like you can finish my money anyway,” he says as he slips the card back into his wallet.I don’t know how else to respond to him except thanking him.But one thing Christopher should note is that once he starts spoiling me, there was no going back.Towards noon, Stella and I wrap up with our work and change into our outfit for the event. Both of must have the same ethical and professional thoughts as surprisingly, our outfit priori

    As Stella and I make it back to the hall, she expresses her dissatisfaction to me.“Mr. Moore is really something else. How can he expect you to drink on his behalf. Asking a woman to drink on his behalf is so ungentlemanly. Does he not have respect for women anymore?” A soft sigh escapes my lips as I guide her towards our table which is right next to Christopher’s. “Remember, I am his staff so he definitely doesn’t see me as a woman,” I quickly tell her and then want to bite my tongue next.Although Christopher has been very well-behaved with me, I doubt he is physically attracted to me. I have never once caught him staring at my chest or making any sexual jokes.Even if it’s too early, but there should at least be a subtle hint that he sees me beyond his personal assistant, but so far there is nothing therefore, the reason for my doubt.“Emily, stop defending him,” Stella whispers as I pull out a seat for her before doing the same for myself. “Remember that whatever you tole

    As Grandpa asks about Emily, everyone turned their attention to me, looking interested in the matter.A soft sigh escapes my lips.I know for a fact that Emily intentionally stepped aside when she saw my family approaching, and now they are asking after her.Although I don’t know exactly what Emily is thinking and why she had left, I’d like to stick to the rules.“Grandpa, today, Emily is my Personal Assistant who I have no personal relationship with,” I say with a straight gaze and fortunately, they all get the hint.“Chris, we understand,” Tessa says with a brilliant smile. “But she still needs to greet us, and I need to meet my best friend.”Tessa’s statement has me lingering my gaze on her. I know what she’s trying to do, and I don’t blame her for being overly excited.Emily mentioned that she tried to set both of us up before the marriage arrangement even came up, so I understand. Even Tessa had mentioned it to me herself, and I wish she would contain her emotions.Seeing

    I understand what is going on here quite well. Barbara thinks she can speak to me with all level of disrespect because she has her father by her side.And I don’t really blame her for her attitude because she wouldn’t have this level of guts if my own father treated me like his actual daughter.I lead Barbara to the stage where Stella is waiting in a room alone. As soon as we arrive, I shut the door and cast my glance at Stella who is taking her time to take in Barbara’s appearance.“Good evening, Ms. Stella,” Barbara greets with a fawning smile, but Stella doesn’t respond to it.For a moment, I think Stella doesn’t know where to start from until she opens her mouth and only then do I understand that she must’ve been looking for a better way to put her words.“Barbara, what or who did you attend this inauguration as?” Stella asks.Barbara’s brows furrow in confusion. She didn’t quite get the question.“Did you come here for a fashion parade or what? As Transcorp’s employee, is

    Barbara dares not be open with her rudeness and hatred and for me thanks to Stella’s presence.I don’t know what this young woman takes me for, but she better pray to her ancestors because once Christopher and I establish a cordial relationship, I’m going to deal with her real good.Oh, Yes! I’m so going to abuse my power and take revenge on those that has been after me.Stella punishes Barbara by deducting two months of her salary which isn’t even important to her given how rich her father was, and giving a sitewide announcement about the warning in our employee’s group mail.Stella also asks Barbara to write five copies of the guidelines for TRANSCORP’s employees.“Ms. Collins, I hope you will write them yourself as I will have the time to go through them. Also, take this as your last warning and stay away from the cameras for the rest of today’s event.” Barbara nods silently and leaves when Stella dismisses her.“How come I’m not satisfied with the punishments I gave to her

    Immediately as I finish tidying up with my meetings, I go straight outside the building and get into the backseat of my car.As soon as I secure my seatbelt, I turn to the woman who has her gaze on me.“Do you have something to say?” I ask her. “Well, out with it.”“Where are you taking me to?” Emily asks in a sultry tone.I remove the bowtie around my neck and ask the chauffeur to head home before turning to glance at her. “I’m taking you to my private residence.”Instantly, Emily’s eyes widen in shock. “Y-Your are taking me to your place to spend the night?” she stutters, leaning her back towards the door.“If you are not comfortable with it, I can send you back to your family’s residence. I won’t force you, the choice is yours.”Emily continues to stare at me wide-eyed as if trying to register my statement and what I actually mean.Although I don’t mean any harm by taking her to my private residence, I don’t clear her conception up as I’m enjoying her reaction right now whi

  • My Redemption with Mr. Tycoon   Nothing Left to Have

    Christopher.I was happy to see Emily’s parents finally leaving, especially after her mother spoke foolishly. Fortunately, Tessa was present. She took care of the situation the best way it could have been.Outside the house, in the midst of the last minute cheerful chattering, Emily’s mother discreetly called her aside. She had something to say to her.I was walking behind them hence I was able to hear her words clearly. Her tone wasn’t kind. Typical Mrs. Wilson.She didn’t give Emily a chance before to register her statement before grabbing her wrist and pulling her away.I stopped in my steps, slowly taking my hands out of my pants’ front pockets, a subtle frown probably on my face already.I was curious as to what ridiculous last minute pep-talk or instruction Emily’s mother remembered to share with her.I stood at the spot, my gaze following both women as they stopped thirty steps away from the others. Since they backed the rest of us, I couldn’t see their facial expres

    Tessa.“You don’t know me.” Brenda shook her head. “You don’t know me at all. You belittle me.” I didn’t care to find out what she meant by that. I simply ignored her and watched from the corner of my eyes as she sat down on one of the couches.Finally, I crossed my leg over the other and met her heated gaze.Soon, we will know if I overhyped or belittled her.A few minutes passed and I was up on my feet again. “We are heading back into the house. It’s time for Dinner,” I announced.Brenda glared at me while standing on my feet. But she had no choice but to follow me.We were right on time for dinner. Everyone had moved to the dining table and were seated when we arrived.Emily’s mother, Mrs. Wilson as I preferred to call her because I didn’t like associating her with my best friend, grinned as soon as she saw us walk in.“Brenda, how was the tour?” she inquired, already trying to help Brenda pull out a chair beside her at the table.I didn’t care if Brenda was going to l

    Tessa.I couldn’t believe that Brenda would dare try to follow after Emily and Chris without shame.Did every explanation I gave to her dumb adoptive mother who didn’t know how to read the room, escape her ears? Brenda stopped in her steps and turned to look at me before shifting her gaze to the right path and glancing back to me.“Isn’t that the way out?” She asked, pointing towards that direction.A scoff escaped my lips as I took a few steps forward closing the gap between us.‘God, please keep me sane enough to handle this lady with patience until the very end,’ I prayed silently in my head.Brenda will make you lose your calm and your years of dedicated home training within minutes.“Brenda, be careful not to get on my nerves. Unlike my best friend Emily, there is nothing on the path, stopping me from dealing with you,” I warned, trying to keep my voice down.Brenda furrowed her brows, pretending to be confused by my reaction, as if I had just flared up out of the blues

    Emily.“You know, sometimes, I wonder what you saw in me,” I said to Christopher as we suddenly stood at a spot, staring into each other’s eyes. But in the end, I had to look away. I couldn’t hold his gaze for long. “What is there not to see in you? So you need me to spell them out to you?” Christopher asked me.I caught his amused gaze from the corner of my eyes and quickly shook my head. I don’t need to hear him telling me all those sugary-coated words. Even if he meant them. “You don’t need to. I think I already get them. And your stare says a lot,” I said, meeting his gaze briefly before swinging his arm, gesturing for us to continue the walk.And when I thought that he was going to lead me into the driveway properly, he lead me to take a turn by our left and it immediately, it occured to me that he might just be taking me towards the backyard. “Emily, tell me what my stare says?” Christopher probed, tilting his head to the side.A sheepish smile lightly masked my face

    Emily.It is with so much relief on my heart that Christopher and I are walking right next to each other without any other human to interfere.Tessa is my best girl. She read the situation and then proceeded to an act. Mum almost ruined it though by trying to make Brenda follow us.I don’t know what she was thinking when she brought up that idea. I bet she didn’t know she looked empty in front of the Moore family for what she did.If I wasn’t so sure that Mum would never want to jeopardize her bidding relationship with the Moore family, I would have thought she was thinking of making Christopher interested in Brenda. I hope I’m not wrong.Because, I haven’t forgotten the fact that Mum was going to help Brenda marry Christopher instead after Brenda found out Christopher’s identity and cried to her that she wanted him.To think Mum had been foolish to even consider her request and even proceed to act on it.Today made me realize that there was probably nothing Mum could not do fo

    Tessa.Mrs. Wilson being unable to read the ruin angered me in ways I didn’t know was possible.Even that fool naked Brenda pretended to be oblivious to the situation and sat there next to her mother, fluttering her lashes innocently; like she was some pitiful unloved lady ostracized by her family. If I didn’t know what Brenda was like, I would have fallen for her stunt but thankfully, I would never be deceived by her. But my family was different.They don’t know Brenda is a white lotus and a green tea bitch.And although I would like to expose that witch right in front of them, now wasn’t the time as it could ruin things for Emily. Besides, I can still deal with Brenda on my own.She doesn’t know whose lands she is stepping on.The awkward silence stretched enough to erupt Chris’s anger. He wasn’t a fan of Brenda, thanks to the true stories I told him about how Emily used to be bullied by her, and her mother.But before things could get out of hand; like Chris displaying an

    Tessa. Grandpa’s talks were getting boring. From taking about the wedding, he shifted focus to business, engaging Emily’s dad in the conversation.Mr. Wilson’s eyes was full of smiles as he immediately connected to the conversation. After all, the business deal was the reason for his happiness, not his daughter’s marriage. I rolled my eyes inwardly as the silence on my part stretched. And that was when my gaze fell on my cousin, Chris. He was looking my way but I could bet it wasn’t me he was staring at.There was someone he had come to adore who was sitting next to me.From the corner of my eyes, I caught Emily looking back at Chris. And instantly, a smile appeared on my lips.These two looked tired of sitting at a place with no opportunity to interact with each other. Unfortunately for them, Grandpa was so old fashioned that he doesn’t have any innovative ideas in regards to this aspect.He doesn’t understand that the future couple need to spend more time together to know

  • My Redemption with Mr. Tycoon   Golden Treatment

    While I’m happy someone from the Moore family came to my defence which is proof they had accepted me, I couldn’t help but be mad at Mum.What she just displayed was evidence of how bias she was to Brenda. She just showed the Moore family that I am the less preferred. Which is stupid.I don’t care that Mum loves Brenda with all her life. At least, she should tame her emotions and obsession outside. Even Dad who was alert, seemed to disapprove of Mum’s actions in front of the Moore family. I could tell by the way he touched the back of her hand while gazing elsewhere.And I would like to think that he was more disappointed because she and Brenda had indirectly told them they didn’t like the work they did with my wedding invitation cards.Soon, the awkwardness hanging in the air disappeared along with Tessa’s presence. Tessa arrived with a warm smile on her face , especially after she saw me. But the second she noticed Brenda, I saw her smile crack.I perfectly understand my fri

  • My Redemption with Mr. Tycoon   Whatever the Bride Wants

    I felt Brenda’s discomfort as Grandpa Moore engaged me in a conversation. I think she’s crazy for even wanting the Moore family’s attention on her. Brenda is nothing short of a heavily delusional psychopath who doesn’t have a limit to her actions. Why on earth would she be mad that all attention was on me now? Somehow, I wished that Brenda will be taken away from my side. I don’t like sitting beside her and assimilating her negative energy. It makes me more mad. Unfortunately, I don’t have any other option. From talking about work, Grandpa shifted the conversation, mentioning the wedding which was in a few weeks. Uncle Frederick’s wife mentioned the wedding invitation cards were ready. A minute later, their family butler brought a square-shaped box with a red ribbon at the top. “They arrived this morning,” Grandpa Moore revealed with a smile before turning to Christopher to give him a glance. Then Mum used the opportunity to say her thoughts. “I think we should unveil the
