Arranged Marriage
"D-dom will be there? I mean, Travis?" I asked. My heart hammered erratically at the mention of his name.
"Yes! The party is hosted by the Florences and they're very close. I heard he's been active lately." Brent giggled. "I mean, active in business parties like this, you know, since he was gone for months. I can tell that he didn't like what happened after the divorce." He finished my hair, now he's onto my makeup.
"What happened after the divorce?" I curiously asked.
Hand"He's setting you up with that guy? How could she?!" Aspyn exclaimed. She heard the news and immediately went home the next day. She usually stays in her condo during weekdays, but today's different.I didn't see Auntie this morning. I still can't believe she arranged me to a marriage like that. I'm not mad, but disappointed. I appreciate her for taking me in, but what she did is out of line. Brent even called last night, complaining that I didn't tell him anything. I explained to him that I didn't even know I was being arranged to Mat. Apparently, the Beaumonts made an unofficial announcement.

The two were sharing a casual conversation when Mr. Salvatore mentions the sentence "Become my wife".Shocking! What does this mean? Is the multibillionaire looking for a new wife?However, a controversial announcement was made the day before. During the founding anniversary of Betaland Inc., the Beaumont Family of B-V Indust
Mr. and Mrs. SalvatoreMy mouth lost its ability to function. My brain went haywire and my heart almost pumped into non-existence.Did I just hear my aunt correctly?"W-what?" I asked her. It's like she spoke a different language to me and my ears can't decipher it."You have to marry Travis. It's against my will, but you have to do it. It's the only way. He offered to merge with our company and we'll benefit even more." She looked at me pleadingly. "I also learned that Travis
Ring"Good evening!"A beautiful woman opened the door for us. Her long sheath dress screamed class and elegance. She had long curly hair and her face was soft like an angel. She looks young, but her eyes were fierce like a hawk. Her glowy skin shined against the chandelier of the accepting room. I instantly grew nervous when I realized who she was.One of the paintings in Dom's cabin had her in it. It was the family painting. I can still remember it clearly. I reckon that the other man on the painting was Dom's father.&nb
21st Century WomenWhen the weekend came, Auntie became more relaxed and her schedule wasn't too tight. "Do you have any requests for the food?" Auntie asked. I shook my head. She and Dom's mother are planning everything. The engagement party will be next week and I'm extremely nervous.I can't believe it's really happening. Piece by piece, their plans are starting to move and the preparations yet to be more concrete. Everything's coming in place. And I'm not sure if I am inthatplace yet."Hermes is too excited. You should make the most out of it, Sapphire."
Pinky Promise"Are you sure about this, Sapphire?" Aspyn asked. She wore a long red satin dress while I had a champagne one. The day of the engagement party finally came and I've never been more anxious. Based on how prominent Dom's family is, I don't think they invitedjusttheir friends and relatives."Don't worry, I'll be alright." I assured her,and myself too.Obvious on how hot headed Aspyn is whenever Auntie's around, she's still disappointed with her mother's choice to marry me to Dom.
Office HoursI woke up alone in our bed, eyes puffy as cotton. I felt humiliated last night. Maybe Dom was right. I just met Caitlyn and she might have been lying. I didn't see a baby bump or any other proof...she just said it!The feeling of loneliness struck me.I wonder where he slept.He probably didn't want to sleep beside me. It just proves that he wants nothing more than money!
Fake NewsWarning: Mature ContentThylane was standing behind Dom who's sitting in a black swivel chair. My heart basked in nervousness. She smirked at me while Dom's face was blank. He was busy doing something on his laptop, yet Thylane stood behind him, hands roaming on the chair's backrest. Dom's eyes drifted to me. Didn't he read my text?"D-dom?" I called."Sapphire...what are you doing here?" He slowly closed his laptop and looked at me intently.
