Stephanie’s P.O.V

“Relax Adam, hear me out first okay,” I retort with an eye roll. I expected this reaction from him, honestly. He looked all tensed up and expectant, ushering me to talk fast.

“So the knowledge of my “death” is no new to you or anyone right…” I trail off, gauging to see if he was actually listening to me. His expression let nothing on. I might as well be talking to a stone.

“Well in my absence, my uncle took over my company. And I want to get it back. He obviously wouldn’t hand it over to me now that I’m back. I’m 100% sure he killed my parents and tried to kill me. That’s where you come in…. I gathered that they have been trying and failing to form a merger with your company for quite some time. With us married, I’ll own major shares of my family’s company as stipulated in my dad’s will and with you as a major shareholder of both companies, we can reduce the stock price of The Malloy Holdings till they become bankrupt and I save it from destruction and buy it back a

  • Redemption In His Arms   Car Rides

    Stephanie’s P.O.VThe weekend I’ve been dreading, is finally here. It’s not that I don’t wish to have dinner with Issy and her parents; it’s the intent behind the dinner that I dread. I’ve done all I possibly could to make mine and Adam’s relationship look plausible, I can only hope he put in as much effort. We already discussed how the ordeal of today will be. The dinner is starting by 7pm in the Belarie’s residence but we will arrive there 10 minutes before. This will luckily win Adam some brownie points. I was planning on driving there myself, which was admittedly a foolish plan but instead Adam will pick me up from Issy’s house by 6:20 since the drive to the Belarie’s was approximately 30 minutes. I decided to not dress too formally for the dinner, seeing as it was more of a casual occurrence but Adam seemed to have other plans.Anyways, it’s already 5:30pm on Sunday, meaning I have approximately 50 minutes to be prepared. Then why can’t I seem to stand up?. I guess a part of me

  • Redemption In His Arms   Devils little Advocate(II)

    Stephanie’s P.O.V“Okay, I think we should start off on the basics… you know favourite colour, favourite meal, middle name and all that stuff,” I started off. I watched him, arms crossed, seated leisurely. He seemed to be thinking of an answer.“Ash and purple are my favorite colours, any type of high protein food is my favourite meal, my middle name is Theodore, I have 2 dogs, I studied business and was the BGS as you would know…. That's all I can think of for now.” He delivered robotically. I raised my eyebrows at the mention of purple being his favorite colour but chose not to speak.I saw him subconsciously touching his temples, and I perceived a faint smell of whiskey from the room. He has definitely been drinking.“That shouldn't be too hard to remember. All the important things about myself are on the sticky notes you shoved aside by the way,”“I'll look over them later.” He began walking away from the area we were conversing. He grabbed some documents and dumped them beside my

  • Redemption In His Arms   Devil’s Little Advocate

    Adam’s P.O.VI knew I couldn’t avoid them forever. I just didn’t expect Mum to be this persistent. I was at least hoping to make the merger with The Malloy Holdings before I informed my parents on my recent engagement. Even the thought of those words sounded wrong in my ears. The whole thing is wrong, I just hoped it would be worth it. I read over Stephanie’s improvised story of her absense and our “love”. She is clever i must give her that, If only her mouth wasn’t as clever. I needed to make this merger, and I needed to do it soon. My parents would be coming over next week, that gives me approximately 4 days to get things in order. And get my fiancé in order. Speaking of fiancé, I scrolled through my phone and get a text from her.“We have some things we need to run over so I’ll be in your office by 5pm. Be free by then. Bye” She sounded exactly as she texted. Bossy as hell. And I was supposed to be married to that for a year. God help me!. It was already 4pm and she’s just tellin

  • Redemption In His Arms   Approvals(II)

    Stephanie’s P.O.VAfter about an hour of driving, we pulled up at Issy’s childhood home. It was a white coloured modern mansion that contained more rooms than required for even a family of 15. Everything from its glistening intricate structure to the vast expanse of land the mansion encompasses was nothing short of a masterpiece. Makes me miss my own home. As soon as Sebastian dropped me at the entrance, I saw the elegant figure of Mrs Belarie making her way towards me. Sebastian came round and opened the car door for me, allowing me to step down. I was immediately engulfed in a warm motherly embrace. She smelled like home. I sensed tears building up in my eyes before they rolled down my cheeks. I clung unto her for dear life, desperately needing a motherly embrace. Life isn't fucking fair.“I can't believe you are really alive, Stephanie dearest,” Issy’s mum whispered shakily. She released me from the hug, much to my dismay but still gripped my shoulders with both hands. She stared

    Stephanie’s P.O.V“So let me get this straight: you and Adam are getting married in a month, but you aren’t making it public until then because….” Issy trailed off, waiting for me to continue my explanation.”“Well because I don’t want my uncle to suspect anything yet till the merger is formed. And it’s not like no one knows. You know. Adam’s parents would soon know, your parents who are currently on their way would know so that’s enough for now.” I finalized. We were driving to the airport to pick up Issy’s parents. Well Sebastian was taking us to the airport, alongside a convoy of bodyguards, but all those technicalities don’t matter.I’d been brainstorming on different stories to tell people when I made my marriage and appearance public, and I think I’ve gotten the perfect one. I just hope Adam approves. Not like I needed his approval. But I do need his cooperation. Anyways, I’m feeling a little excited to see Issy’s parents. I felt a dull ache in my chest when ever the name parent

  • Redemption In His Arms   Agreements

    Adam's P.O.V I’m a fucking idiot. That has to be it. Why else would I have agreed to Stephanie’s revenge plan if I weren’t one? I didn’t need this sort of distraction in my life. Especially now that I’m just barely managing to forget about Tracy. I’ll admit, the benefits of agreeing to this little contract marriage were sort of beneficial to me, they weren’t what engineered my decisions. Loneliness did. I’ve been so bleeding hollow for what seemed like forever, I needed to grasp onto something. Anything with the semblance of company, regardless of its fake status, was something I needed desperately. Maybe I acted foolishly, Maybe I even thought foolishly, but I needed to at least try. Plus it will get my parents off my case. My mum couldn’t have made it more obvious that she was worried about my downward spiral. So yes, I sought out Stephanie's number and agreed to her marriage proposal yesterday. Although a little voice in my head screamed at me for betraying Tracy. For trying t
