view moreIris’s PoVWhat the hell did I say? I casually called myself his wife and mentioned that we were husband and wife. I could feel the tension in the air. I just started rambling without thinking because I was nervous. I know the circumstances of our relationship. It's just a front and nothing more. I should clarify that to him.“ You do know, right?” he began. “ Know what?” I asked. He sighed as if what he was about to say weighed heavily on his heart. “ You and I, we are husband and wife in name only. There can be nothing between us. You get it, right?” He looked at me with desperation as if he was pleading for me to not be sad and understand. I smiled a little. “ Yes, I know. I didn't have any expectations when I was getting married to you. The reason I agreed to this is that it is what my father wanted. Nothing more.”He slightly smiled back at me. “ I am glad that we cleared that up. I don't want us to misunderstand each other. Now that we are on the same page, things will be
Julian’s POV Hot. I am feeling hot. It feels like there is something on top of my body, pressing me down. I am unable to move. My head is hurting a lot and my eyes are heavy. I can't open my eyes. What the hell happened last night? The only thing I can remember is getting in a car with… Iris? Ah yes, my wife. That sounds strange. So what happened after that? We were in the car coming back to the house my father supposedly bought us. And then what? I don't remember what happened after that. It's like I blacked out. I finally managed to peel my eyes open. I was in a dimly lit room with no sunshine coming in. Thank god. My eyes wouldn't be able to take any sharp light. I tried to reach for my face, but I couldn't raise my arm. Something was on top of me, pinning me down. I groaned. I guess that wasn't just a feeling. As I tried to see what could be going on, I saw hair sprawled all over me. What the hell? Someone is on top of me. I struggled to move because I am still weak. Hey, don't
Iris’s povIt has been a long day. The ride back to my new home was long and uncomfortable. Julian was sitting next to me and I couldn't even look his way. I sat so straight that I didn't dare move an inch. I don't know why I am acting like that. Earlier, everything was just fine. Was it because we were not alone? I mean we are not alone now because the driver is with us as well. I am so nervous I don't know if I should just keep my mouth shut or try to talk to him. I mean, despite how we might feel about the situation, we are still husband and wife. We can't ignore each other forever. That would be so awkward. I turned to look at him, but his head fell on my shoulder. My body froze for a moment. Huh? Is he asleep? His head was about to slip off my shoulder, but I caught his head with my hand. His face was burning beneath my palm. I noticed that something was off earlier. He wasn't looking so good. He must be sick. I can't only hold his head as he sleeps. His warm breath was warming
Julian’s POV My head hurts. A lot. If it wasn't for my father dragging me along with him, I probably would have collapsed by now. It would have been over, but I could not get away with it for sure. Father was dead serious. If his plans didn't go through as he wanted, he was ready to strip me of everything I own. Including my last name. When he said it, I thought he was just bluffing. I really do, but the look in his eyes and the chill that ran down my spine when he said those words, told me to take him seriously, or I would regret it. I have come so far and worked hard to lose it all. This is a compromise I have to make. Meghan will have to understand. Iris and I stood in front of the magistrate facing each other. She was staring at me and I felt uncomfortable under her gaze. It felt as if her eyes were stripping me naked, and she could see right through me. I couldn't say anything to her and I couldn't even figure out what was going through her mind. I don't understand what her de
Meghan’s POV Since the day I pretended to be hurt when Julian told me he was getting married, and I asked him for a few days to myself, I've been spending time with Kaden. I must thank Julian because, thanks to him, I was able to be with the man I love, and it's been a whole week. I don't know wha
Iris's POVSo, in 3 days I will be Mrs Harrison. I have been having sleepless nights because of the thought of being someone's wife. The nerves were eating me up, and I couldn't eat or sleep properly. I was anxious, and I kept asking myself if this was a sacrifice that I was willing to make. My lif
Julian’s POV The day of my wedding was approaching. I was nervous. I never get nervous and it was bothering me. But what was bothering me even more than that was that the one I was going to marry was not the one I love. Thanks to my father for making things difficult for me, I'm now stuck with so
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
