ARLO’S POV

“Why the heck did you agree to something as wild as that?” I asked myself right after I agreed to being Aurora’s fiancé.

It was a crazy idea.

“You vowed never to get married or let a woman get you trapped in anything, so why are you doing this?” I continued to ask myself.

I opened my mouth to change my mind, but then she turned and looked at me, and I found myself lost completely in her teary eyes.

She was so fragile and innocent, and for the life of me, I wondered why anyone would want to hurt her. It upset me deeply that right after her fucking fiancé spoke to her with so much disrespect, her own sister was no less.

Judging by everything that happened and from Aurora’s dazed reaction, it was obvious that she didn’t know what happened. It looked to me like there was more to the situation that needed to be investigated, which is exactly what is taking me back to my anger with Hawk.

I could rarely wait to confront him about this.

With the look in her eyes, I couldn’t change

    ARLO’S POV“Arlo, are you even here at all?” Gideon said, tapping my thighs.He jolted me back to reality.“Man, what’s wrong with you? You blanked out completely, and I am certain that you didn’t hear a single word I have been saying,” Gideon stated worriedly.“When did you start talking?” I asked.The last time I remembered, we had both been silent, which was what even made my mind drift to a place I never wanted to go back to in the first place. Even though I was back to reality now, my heart still ached and squeezed tightly, which was exactly why I didn’t like to think back on those dark days filled with so much tears, anger, pain, regret, and bitterness.Because it never got better.Instead, it became worst until she could no longer bear it anymore.The thought of it made my heart colder than it already was. That is exactly what it does to me. No one understands why I can’t smile or laugh like everyone else. No one understands why my heart is as cold as ice, because no one went

    ARLO’S POV“Didn’t I ask you to go to the room, Arlo?” She had asked me angrily.Then as I looked more into her eyes, I noticed that she was also ashamed.Ashamed and embarrassed that I had heard what she didn’t want me to hear or see her in so much tears and pain.“I am sorry, mum,” I had apologized meekly.“Why didn’t you go?” She had asked me bitterly.“You were so upset and unhappy, and…and I didn’t want to leave you alone,” I had responded, stuttering.I was just a little boy, but then that was half-lie and half-truth. “Still, you should have listened to me. I don’t like it when you act really stubborn, Arlo, and you know this! If you hadn’t punched that kid, you would be in school by now,” she had scolded me really angrily.I didn’t realize it then, but I got to know much later that she always liked it when I was away at school because that was the time that she had to try to beg and cajole and force Sir Bronson to accept me as his son and take responsibility.Then at night, sh

    ARLO’S POVFirst of all, she had taken me to see the school head the next morning. As soon as the others saw us, most of them began to jeer at me.“The illegitimate abandoned son!”It had been so horrifying and humiliating that I had wanted us to turn and leave immediately. I knew there and then that I was never returning to this school.“Listen, Maria, we can’t have him here anymore,” the stoic woman had told my mum.She had become sad and emotional instantly. “Please, you can’t send Arlo out of school. This is the only school around that I can afford,” she had begged, almost sobbing.“Then he should have thought of that before knocking off a boy’s tooth,” she had said tightly, glaring at me. “As a matter of fact, you should be grateful that his parents are not pressing charges,” she had added.We all knew that they weren’t pressing charges because they wouldn’t be able to afford it. We were all poor.“I am willing to tender a heartfelt apology to them. Arlo would also do the same,

    ARLO’S POV“Why did you change your mind?” Gideon asked me as he drove us out of the damn company.Even his lousy secretary couldn’t even ask us if we had successfully seen him or why we were leaving so soon.I couldn’t even control the anger that rose inside of me.“It was either that or go in there and beat him to a pulp,” I said through clenched teeth.“But you can’t continue to beat up every man that upsets you, Arlo,” Gideon cautioned.“That’s why I left,” I said. “He is such a deadbeat to have sold his daughter out like that,” I added.“My stomach churned when I heard him make that statement,” Gideon affirmed. “For the first time, Arlo, trust me, I wanted to punch him badly,” Gideon revealed.I didn’t doubt him, because I felt the same way, and for Gideon who had never lifted a finger to touch a single soul unlike me, to feel like punching him, then Aurora’s father deserved it.“And I would be damned to give that greedy bastard a dime from my hard-earned money,” I stated tightly

  • One Night Stand: The Secret Billionaire Bride   A Deadbeat Man

    ARLO’S POV“You do remember everything we have talked about, right?” I asked Gideon as he parked in the parking lot.“How could I forget? Would you even let me?” He teased.But at least, he was no longer talking about feeling that the money I was about to give Aurora’s father was too much and certainly undeserving of him.As we walked towards the entrance, we looked around.It was one of those small companies that would never grow bigger than it was already, and I knew this. Any good businessman with the right eyes could tell.“This place looks like it is just struggling to survive,” Gideon stated what was on my mind out loud.“Well, not all businessmen are going to thrive and succeed,” I simply said.“You are right. As long as he has a company, lives in a mansion in the elite part of the city with his family, and has trust funds for his children, he is considered an elite, whereas the real wealthy men like you are not being pronounced,” Gideon said.“That doesn’t matter now. All we a

    AURORA’S POVI quickly hurried into the restroom at my workplace, checked to ensure that no one was there before calling Eudora in excitement.Then I prayed fervently that she should pick up, because I understood how busy she could get.Eventually, my prayer got answered because she picked almost immediately,“You won’t believe what I have to tell you!” Eudora squealed delightfully as soon as the call connected.She was always doing it.She wouldn’t call, but when I call, she always wants to talk first. Anyway, Eudora still remains my best friend even though she can be very annoying sometimes. However, I didn’t want her to have her way this time around.“Eudora, listen!” I yelled, but in a whisper.Gosh, she could be so overbearing and frustrating sometimes.“You also have something to tell me?” Eudora asked.“Apparently, otherwise why would I be calling you?” I asked her, rolling my eyes. “And I need to quickly say this before we both have to get back to what we have to do,” I added.
