16. Act Like You Are Mine
-Conner’s POV-
I had to put a straight face on. I can’t make her see how vulnerable I am when I am in front of her. She doesn’t know how excited I am to be with her today. I even woke up earlier than I usually do, but seeing her with Nick right at her doorstep made me irate. I don’t want to make a scene in public and so I had to compose myself before going out of my car. The confrontation between Nick and I made me feel guilty. He said something about Lucy being heartbroken. Yes, I understand that I made her probably sad for not letting her know that I was going away, but her being heartbroken? I am not so sure about that. I am certain that I saw her kissing Nick near my garage and so how can she be heartbroken? It must be the other way around. I guess Nick acted that way because I had to cut off their blossoming relationship.
I was so focused on the road that I almost jolted out of my seat when my phone rang. Good thing Lucy wasn’t looking else it would be so embarr

-Lucy’s POV- I could feel myself tremble when Conner wrapped his arms around my waist, the more intense it became when he slowly bent his head down. Our faces so near and so as our lips. His minty breath with a touch of tobacco made him super irresistible. I was struck by how he emphasized on us being a couple and that I have to act like we were for real. I could feel my blood rush through my veins right to my face. Is it the weather or is it just me? Geez! It’s so hot in here! Sh*t! Come on Lucy think straight! Stop fantasizing and put yourself together! Remember the man you are with is not the same man whom you met a year ago. Think of this as pure work. Some mission you have to conquer. This is not the movies wherein the man that a woman fancies will fall in love with her, this is reality. You have to deal with it. Just act like a sweet girlfriend, pick a dress and it will soon be done. I took a deep breath, smiled and wrapped my arms around Conner’s neck. I swea
The Orphan's Goddess 18. Unrequited Love
- Lucy’s POV- I was on my way to where Miley was, and I saw her with a very big smile on her face. “What? What’s with that smile?” Miley shook her head, “I think uncle Jack picked the right woman for that naughty cousin of mine. I believe that you are just the match for him.” I laughed “How can you say that? I mean, there’s really nothing special about me.” Miley’s eyes widened “Are you kidding me? Basing from what you just did? I tell you girl, Yyou just slapped the face of that ostentatious woman without literally doing it. You owned that stage making her realize that Conner is your territory, just like saying hey! This is my guy so beat it!. Did you see how she ran outside crying like a lunatic?” Miley gave out a devilish laugh “That was amazing!” I raised my hands in surrender “Okay, okay. I get it. Well, I guess you know that the relationship between your cousin and I is based on a contract. We are getting married because he wants his uncle to be happy and me on the oth
The Orphan's Goddess 19. Wanting for More
-Conner’s POV- I am completely dumbfounded. I thought I had had enough experience when it comes to women, but that kiss. That f*uckin’ kiss ignited all of my senses. I looked at the woman who just kissed me and I couldn’t do anything, but just shake my head in disbelief. This woman has changed a lot. She has gained so much confidence now than what she had before. When we first met, she was the confused and timid girl. She even asked me to help her from her troubles, but now, she can walk with her head held high and initiated a kiss to a man. I tried to recover from the shock I had and keep my cool, but as I flipped the pages of the magazine I was supposedly reading, the kiss we shared came back to my mind. Her soft lips and the moan that escaped when I thrusted my tongue inside her mouth made my body heat up and sweat a bit even though the boutique is well air conditioned. She is a god damn good kisser. I guess Nick taught her well. The thought gave shivers all over
The Orphan's Goddess 20. Mark My Words
-Lucy’s POV- Today is the day that I will be married to the man whom I have secretly cherished. I never thought that this will ever happen due to his disappearance a year ago, but here I am wearing this beautiful trumpet wedding dress. I am looking at myself in the mirror trying to take everything in. This is it Lucy! You can do this! I am trying to calm myself down for I am truly nervous. Who wouldn’t be? I mean, aside from the fact that I am marrying the man that I love, I am also marrying one of the richest bachelors in Brisbane. This is a true responsibility and now, I will have to carry that for the rest of my life. The pressure is real and I have to be very careful with every action and decision that I have to make. True responsibility huh? Speaking about responsibility dear Lucy; are you ready for the responsibility that you have as a wife? You were bold enough to kiss him that day in the boutique, but are you bold enough to give yourself fully? The
The Orphan's Goddess 21. I Would Rather
-Conner’s POV- The wedding went rather smoothly. I saw my uncle Jack with a big smile on his face and Lucy’s parents became emotional as their daughter walked down the aisle. A tingling feeling crept inside my heart. I can feel myself become proud of the woman whom I will call Mrs. Lowell, my wife. She is wearing the trumpet wedding dress covered with crystals which made her look like a fairy. She walked so gracefully that I could almost see her floating rather than just simply walking. A memory flashed back in my mind the moment I laid eyes on her as she walked towards the sea a year ago. I can sense that same feeling I had which I wish to divulge into. However, the thought vanished in an instant when I remembered the scene I saw between Lucy and Nick minutes before our wedding began. The sight of Lucy with Nick was unbearable. What chance do I have over the person who captured Lucy’s heart? Do I even have a place in Lucy’s heart? I thought I had for we had t
The Orphan's Goddess 22. Don't Forget
-Lucy’s POV- Nights have passed with only me in this lonely place. I may be married, but it doesn’t feel that way. I am living in Conner’s mansion, but Conner has never been home since the night after our wedding. I guess I angered him when I slapped him on the face that night. It was an initial reaction of how lowly he thinks of me. Serves him right. I gave out a sigh and shook my head. Maybe he is doing what he said he would, that we will get married, but nothing will change. I leave the house at eight in the morning and be back around six in the afternoon. This has been my routine for almost a month now. I didn’t have much to worry for Conner’s staff has always made everything ready for me. However, this very feeling made me remember the agony that I had a year ago. Conner left without a single word, again. The moment I entered the room I took off my jacket and placed it on top of the bed. I opened the glass door to the balcony and was greeted by the icy
The Orphan's Goddess 23. I Clearly Remember
-Conner’s POV- I entered the bathroom feeling guilty of what I have done. From the very start I didn’t have plans of coming home at all. This is the very reason why I have avoided Lucy for the past month for I wasn’t certain of my self-control anymore. For some reason this woman had some power on me. Over the past year I have maintained to establish this self-righteous image, but this woman crushed it all instantaneously. Just the thought of her being with another man angers me a lot and is making me act irrationally just like what I did the night after our wedding. I turned on the shower and made the water flow over my body hoping that it would ease the heat from the love making we did. I could still feel her soft skin at my palms, her natural scent and the sweet taste of her lips which made me lose my sanity and just take her without even asking for her approval. Love making? You forced her god dammit! She was pushing you away and you didn’t even stop. It was eve
The Orphan's Goddess 24. A Taste of Your Own Medicine
A Taste of Your Medicine-Lucy's POV- I have been sitting on the floor for a couple of minutes now after Conner delibrately took what was preciously mine. I have always reminded myself to never give in to any sort of temptation and will offer myself solely to my husband. Well, technically Conner is my husband, but we are entirely in a different set-up. We were forced into this marraige. Love is definitely not part of our relationship. I can learn to accept the fact that I only have Conner's surname, but not his heart. However, what he did to me was beyond the line. The encounter we had was no loving making. I felt betrayed, abused and degraded. I have always felt proud of myaelf for I know I did well all throughout my existence until I met Conner. I graduated with flying colors from elementary to college. I have had awards and recognition during my internship. I eventually became the assistant director of Mark's Magazine, the top 1 magazine in Brisbane. All of that confid
