The billionaire’s forced bride Chapter 10
Colton’s povAs we stepped out of the court registry, all I could do was stare at Lily. She really looked like an angel in her gown which complemented her black hair a lot.I continued staring until I looked down and saw Lily looking at me, smiling. That startled me. I was about to ask Lily why she was looking at me like that when I noticed that Mara was looking about frantically, like she was scared.“Mara…. Mara” I tried calling her but she wasn’t listening.“Mara” I shouted, shaking her .” What is going on, why are you looking around like you are scared?”“She is here……….. she is here “ she repeated frantically.“Who is here? Mara talk to me, who is here?”“She….. she…..” she stuttered. She then looked at lily and the next few minutes went by quickly.She carried Lily and started saying “We have to go, we have to leave. We are not safe”I didn’t understand what she was saying but I followed her. We reached my car and entered.“Please can we go….. please” she said looking at me, p

Mara’s povStepping into my house with Lily, I went straight to her room and dropped her on the bed. Didn’t want to disturb her sleep. I then removed her shoes and used her blanket to cover her.“Sleep tight my love,” I said, kissing her in her forehead.I closed the door and tested my head on it“What am I going to do now, the wedding is in two days.” I thought to myself, reality really dawned on me.“In two day I will be married to Colton, a man I once loved and who probably would have never wanted anything to do with me if not for lily” I thought to myself.At this point, my phone rang. I went to pick it and looked at the screen. Saw it was my mother and answered the call.“Hey mum “ I said softly, suddenly realizing I hadn’t told her anything about the wedding or me seeing Colton.“How are you, honey?” She asked, with her soft voice I have missed so much. “I am fine mum, just a little tired,” I said, trying not to tear up, but who am I kidding, this is my mum. She always knows wh

Colton’s povAs I stared at Mara, all I could think of was the fact that she was beautiful. “Where did everything go wrong?” I thought to myself.I stared at the shop. I didn’t forget.When Mara and I were dating, she told me that she would love her ring to be bought from this shop; beauty and Splendor Jewelleries. That’s why I brought her here. I’m so happy she is happy.“Let’s go”“Ok”I stepped out and as I was about to open the door for her, she did. I opened Lily’s door.I already paid for us to stay for one hour without any other customers as I’m trying to keep it low. So when we stepped inside, there was no single soul there and Mara noticed.“Why are there no customers “ she wondered. “ I don’t know. Maybe people didn’t need anything from here” I said, already feeling stupid with my reply. She would have guessed that it is a lie because it is always bubbling with people, which is why it is one of the best jewelry shops.“Hmmmm, that’s strange, but if you say so” she said“Ye

Mara’s pov“I am here to talk to you about something,” Nathaniel saidI wonder what he wants to talk about“Ok, you can enter.”“Thank you”As he entered, I closed the door. “What would you like, water, wine, what would you like?”“I’m ok but thanks for asking” he said “Just sit so we can talk, I don’t plan to stay here for too long.”“Ok,” I have my seat.“So I came here this night because of Colton”“I knew it” I thought to myself.“What do you want to talk about?”“So Colton has been my best friend for a long time. I have seen him sad, happy, angry, and other kinds of emotions. But when you left him, the emotion I saw that day I can’t explain. It broke him”“That was never my intention”“I never said it was but I am just telling you, I am trying to arrive at a point.”“Knowing Colton, he never got over that hurt and I think that’s what pushed him to make this decision. But never doubt the fact that he loves his daughter and he wants the best for her.”“I know” I said softly.“What

Mara’s povNothing could explain the hurt or pain I experienced as my daughter stared at me in that distraught look.“My love” Colton called, talking to lily “I am here now and I am not going anywhere” “I will finally stay with you and your mum and we will live together”“Really”“Yes”“I love you, daddy”.That right there made me realize I made the right decision.I will do anything to see the happiness in her eyes.I raised my head, trying to get rid of my tears when I locked eyes with Nathan. I had actually forgotten he was in the room.He had this thoughtful look on his face. I removed my eyes from him.“Mum, can Dad come to live with us now”, Lily pleaded“Lily, it is not that easy”“But I want him to live with us” Lily whined.“Hey pumpkin( how he thought of a nickname so fast was just……) it is not that easy. But don’t worry we will soon be together. ““Your mum and I will soon get married in the next four days so I just want you to count till then. You and I will be together s

Colton's POV"She's smarter than you're giving her credit for."Nathan said it from the chair across my desk without looking up from his laptop, which was his way of delivering opinions he knew I didn't want to hear. He had flown in that morning because I had asked him to and because Nathan Cross had never once in fourteen years declined when I needed him present for something important."I'm not underestimating her," I said."You filed custody papers and offered marriage in the same meeting," he said. "And you're surprised she came back with conditions.""I'm not surprised," I said. "I expected conditions."He looked up then. "Did you expect the duress clause?"I didn't answer that. He nodded like my silence confirmed something he had already calculated.The truth was the duress clause had landed differently than I anticipated. Not because it was unreasonable. It was completely reasonable and the fact that she had thought of it within twenty four hours while managing a four year old
