Karen's POVIt felt like I didn't sleep at all, dad took almost the whole night talking to me before he left. Yawning, I got up and stretched my hands. I gazed at Brody who was still sleeping and walked out of the room.The whole house was quiet until I got downstairs and met Aunt Patricia, she had already seen me and ignoring her would be rude. "Good morning, aunt Patricia."She frowned at me. "I don't need you to greet me," she muttered and placed the pillows correctly on the sofa. "You've managed to make everyone like you but your charms won't affect me."My eyes widened, I didn't use charms on anyone. Why did she hate me so much? "I haven't done anything.""Yes, you've done something and you've brought down the esteem of our family. You're nothing but a stupid lady who fell in love with a  fool."I didn't want to keep quiet again and I wouldn't tolerate her insulting me. Even though it was a contract, her insults were getting too much. "Ma'am, my love life

Karen's POVBrody was already awake when I finished taking the last bite of pancake on my plate. He was coming down from the stairs. "Good morning." I murmured."Morning sweetheart." He replied with a smirk.Mom was just coming down from the stairs. "Today's going to be a very big day."What did she mean? I didn't understand her statement. "Where did you guys go yesterday?" Brody asked his mother as I held a glass of water and quickly gulped down it's content.His mother yawned and sat on the floor. "It's a secret, we're planning something for you and Karen." She answered with a grin.What were they planning? I just couldn't wait to see it. Standing up from the chair, I walked to the sofa and sat down. Diego had also finished eating. "How are you?" I asked in a low-piqued voice.He smiled and winked at me. "I'm fine and you?""I'm also fine," I replied. "Care to tell me what they're planning?"He chuckled and stood up. "No way!" With that, he ran into his

Karen's POVWe walked into Brody's second house, he had suggested that we move into another house. "That was totally unbelievable, it was a mistake marriage and you know that it was not meant to happen." I said.He slumped down on the sofa as the maids moved our luggages into the rooms. "I didn't expect that also but I don't know what to do. It came as a shock to me." He replied.I turned my gaze to the bright light outside and shrugged. "At least, you should have supported me in canceling the wedding."He laughed. "You're so funny and cute, would I have embarrassed my parents publicly by canceling the wedding. The contract is going to expire in the next two days.""I know and that's why I'm scared.""You don't have to be.""Marriage is a commitment," I murmured and turned to look at him. "We shouldn't develop feelings for each other but I'm deeply attracted to you and I want to stop myself. This is meant to be a contract and not a love story."His face lit u

Brody's POVI climbed down the stairs looking for Karen, it was totally right for me to tell her how I really felt about her. Helen came towards me as I scanned through the guests for her. "Hey, you look worried." She noticed.I faked a smile trying to ease my tired face. "I'm absolutely okay." I replied, still scanning through the guests for Karen. Where was she?"Looking for someone?" Helen asked with a smirk.Scratching my cheeks, I replied. "Yeah, where's huh... Karen?"She chucked. "I knew you wanted to see her, I saw her with Sarah a few minutes ago. Where were you?" She asked."I was with Jake." I answered and noticed Sarah walking towards me. "I'll leave you guys to talk." My sister murmured and went to meet my mom. Sarah looked at me with a grin on her face as she stood in front of me, folding her arms. "Are you happy that I'm getting married to your brother?" She asked.That was definitely a stupid question but I was really excited, I

Brody's POVI entered into the limousine waiting for me outside the airport. I had successfully reached Los Angeles, it seemed like a foolish idea because I didn't even bring my clothes along with me and I didn't even know where to go. My phone rang and I picked it up. "Hey man, I'm in Los Angeles right now." Jake seemed to give me a shaky laugh. "You should find a hotel and stay there tonight." He suggested.Yeah! It was a good idea. I palmed my forehead and heaved a sigh of relief. "I was wondering where I'll go."He cleared his throat nervously. "No one has to know that you're in Los Angeles, don't pick any one's call for the meantime.""Alright," I replied, feeling both satisfied and relieved. I kept my phone in my pocket and looked at the driver, he seemed to concentrate on the road and I didn't want to ask him but it was better for me to ask for directions. "Huh, do you know any new restaurant around here?" I asked him.He nodded with
