Lihat lebih banyakIris POV I was lying on my bed staring at the ceiling with a stupid smile on face that for the love of me, I couldn't get rid off. I couldn't stop thinking about last night. It was amazing. More than I thought it would be. I was glad that I didn't up and leave. Julian and I, we had a connection last night. At least, that is what I think it was. I afraid that I might be getting ahead of myself. I have only known him for a few hours but somehow it felt like I've know him for a while. I can't explain it. We talked and got to know each other. I opened up to him and told him a bit about myself. I would like to think that he was honestly open to me himself. Anyway, we just had a great time talking and laughing over a bottle of wine and it felt natural. Like we had done that a thousand times before. Unfortunately we couldn't ignore the big elephant in the room. Having to rush over to the altar to tie the knot over a marriage of convinience. It would have been better if fate had brought
Iris's POV From the moment my eyes met him, I felt I was zapped by lightning. I don't understand why. I've never felt like this before. It's strange. I saw his picture but it did him no justice. He looked hotter in person. Wait. What the hell am I thinking? That's not how I should be thinking. I can't fall for him at all. I ain't even know him, let alone that, falling in love is not part 0f the plan. Iris, get a grip on yourself. His voice sounded like music to my ears. He has the most deep velvety voice I had ever had in a man. I might sound like I am exaggerating but I guess it would be better to hear it yourself. Never mind falling for him. I'm totally gushing for him. I started to feel hot in my lower region making me cross my legs tightly. What the hell is this man doing to me. Damn it. I tried to act as normal as possible. Sure, this Julian guy is attractive and his voice sounds like that of a God but that's about it. I noticed that both eyes kept stealing glances at one an
Meghan's POV I felt like the happiest woman on earth right now. I was in bed lying on the chest of the man I love. After a night of wild and passionate sex, I was feeling satiated and I am sure he was too. He was sleeping and lightly snoring. I don't know what got to him but he wanted to sleep with me on his bed this time. He usually took me anywhere in the house but never in his room or on the bed. But the last few days, he has been acting different or should I say loving and affectionate. Not that I was complaining. In fact, I loved every minute of his attention. I had no time to think about Julian and his problems. It felt like I was in another dimension. Kaden is absolutely the man of my dreams. Since the moment I met him, I always knew that he was the one. I was always willing to do anything for him and that is how we got here. Call me crazy but I would kill or die for him. I know. It really sounds crazy how deep I have fallen for this man. It's like he is the Joker and I, his
Julian's POV Today was the day of the engagement dinner. I haven't seen or heard from Meghan in a week. After that day, she sent me a text telling me to give her space and time to think about things. I was scared that she would break up with me. I tried to call her so we could talk this out and I could explain things to her again if she was not assured but I stopped myself. I decided to respect her and give her the time and space she needed. I was going to push her into anything even though I didn't want her to leave me. It took every ounce in my body to make that decision. That day she didn't tell me how long she would need and I just but when a week went by, I was starting to get worried. I tried calling her several times but she wouldn't pick up her phone. I went to her place but she wasn't there. I went everywhere I thought she would be but I could find her and no one had seen or heard from her for a while. I was starting to regret telling her about this stupid marriage. I shou
Iris's POV It's been a week since that day. We packed all of our belongings and said goodbye to the mansion that had been our home for over 20 years. It was hard and sad and I had to pull my sobbing mother out of the house. She unfortunately cried her eyes out all the way to the ancestral mansion. And when we got there she refused to go inside for over an hour before it started pouring. Then she had no choice but to face her fears and come inside. I don't mean to make fun of my mother but she was hilarious. My mother was really spooked out. She would jump and shriek at any sound made in the house. I was just grateful that we had cleaners come clean the place or else it would have been a job that neither of us was up for. A few days after, my father was discharged and we brought him back to the mansion. When he got here, he got emotional. He started rambling about how he failed his father and how was sorry he had to come back home as a failure. I couldn't help but feel emotional too
Iris's POV It's been a few gruesome days since the day my Dad asked me to get married to Julian Harrison. I agreed but for now, that was the least of my concerns. My father got heart surgery and it was the most nail-biting day of my life. I was worried about him. Even though the doctor had assured me that the procedure would be done quickly and it was not risky, I couldn't help but worry. You never know when things can go wrong. After waiting, my father's surgery went well and he was moved back into his ward. All that was left was for him to recover and get a clean bill of health. The worst was over but this we're far from over. We received notice that everything has been repossessed and we will need to move out of our house. It was a sad moment once again. It's not like it was a surprise but it was just so sad to be losing the home we had been living in for years. So now my mother and I were back at the house trying to pack up our things and move out. Luckily we still have our anc
