All Chapters of Fated To Be One~: Chapter 11 - Chapter 20

{Third person's pov}Arizona woke up and found the bed empty, She looked at the clock and it was already nine am, she cursed under her breath and got up from the bed.She was making her way towards the bathroom when the door clicked open and she paused.There stood her husband, in nothing but just a towel around his waist, water droplets were falling from his hair and travelling all the way down to his chest and abs. She sucked a deep breath, Her heart was beating wildly, she realised she was staring at him and then she immediately turned around. "I am sorry, I didn't see anything..." Everett paused the moment he saw her. Not because of her words, but because of the way she turned so quickly, almost startled.For a second, he just stood there, water still dripping from his hair, completely unbothered… until he noticed how stiff her posture was.“I would hope so,” he said dryly, grabbing a towel from the chair and running it through his hair, tone calm as ever. “It’s your room too.”

{Third person's pov}The bathroom door was still shut, water running softly inside while Everett sat there in silence, staring at the phone resting on the nightstand.He wasn’t angry because she had a life before marriage. But something about the message, about the familiarity of it, unsettled him more than he expected.And Everett hated unexpected feelings.The bathroom door finally clicked open..Arizona stepped out, drying her damp hands slightly before pausing. Because Everett was looking at her.His fingers tapped once against the phone beside him.“Max,” he said calmly. “Who is he?”“And before you answer,” he added quietly, “I’d prefer the truth over comfort.”Arizona sighed, "Just a classmate from the college." She said and sat infront of the dressing table to dry her hair.Everett watched her through the mirror, “Classmate,” he repeated slowly, like he was testing the word against the message he had read.His gaze shifted briefly to the phone again before returning to her refl

{Third person's pov}Everett stepped out of his car and opened the door for Arizona, They both walked inside the campus together.Everett was talk of the town and everyone in the college knew him, and seeing Arizona with him people were both confused and curious.Arizona held her bag tightly, she wasn't liking those looks from the students, and what surprised her further was Everett intertwining his fingers with hers.She immediately looked at him but his face was all calm and composed.“If they’re going to look anyway, let them look properly. No one here should mistake you for someone standing alone.”His thumb brushed once against the back of her hand, small, grounding.As they approached the administrative block, a few professors straightened immediately upon seeing him. Students moved aside almost instinctively.Everett didn’t slow down. The authority around him was effortless.But the moment he noticed Arizona clutching her bag tighter again, his tone softened just slightly.“Bre

{Third person's pov}Two weeks later, her exams were finally over and she was finally done with her college. They were sitting on the breakfast table with the whole family when his father spoke. "Why don't you both go somewhere Everett and Arizona?" Arizona kept staring at her plate while Everett looked up. "I have office dad." "What office? before you we were taking care of it right? yes not as good as you, but we can take care of the office and meetings for a few weeks." His uncle said. "Yeah.. you guys should go somewhere." His mother suggested and Everett opened his mouth to argue but he was interrupted by Emily. "She deserves a nice honeymoon brother." The dining hall fell into an immediate chorus of agreement. "Exactly!" one of Everett's younger cousins chimed in."You two barely had a wedding," another aunt added. "It's been meetings, college, and family ever since."Arizona lowered her head even further, suddenly finding her breakfast extremely interesting.Emily, meanwhi

{Third person's pov}Arizona bit her lips and looked down. "I prefer beaches over mountains." She whispered.Everett didn't answer immediately. Instead, he watched the way she looked down after saying it, almost as if she expected someone to tell her it wasn't important.A slow, genuine smile appeared, small but unmistakable. "Beaches," he repeated quietly. "The first preference you've ever given me."He picked up the pen and wrote a single word on the blank page, beaches and then he looked back at her."I'll remember that." He closed the notebook and set it aside. "I've been to dozens of beaches around the world, for meetings." The faint smile returned. "I don't recommend that version."Arizona let out a soft laugh and Everett's eyes lingered on her for a moment. She laughs like that more often now.The thought came uninvited and he found that he didn't mind it.."Pack for a week," he said, matter of.factly. "We'll leave the day after tomorrow."Arizona blinked. "So... you've already
