My arranged marriage のすべてのチャプター: チャプター 1 - チャプター 10

Emma Watson “Get a grip on yourself, Emma.” My mother, Eliana, spat out in annoyance as she gave me a dirty glare.I retreated my stares from her, scanning the room as the air turned suffocating, heavy with perfume, whiskey, and all you could call that was filled with Wealth.I tugged at the edges of my too-tight dress, a red number that she had insisted I wear. Likewise, I hated it. It felt like a costume for a role I hadn't agreed to play.“Stand up straight,” she hissed in my ear again, her manicured nails digging into my arm and causing me nothing but pain. “And for God's sake, try not to look pathetic.”I held in the urge to snap at her. To tell her, I am not the cause of the accident and I would never do that to my sister, but no, would she even listen? Even when it is darn obvious the accident was a mistake.The room suddenly felt silent. A man in black suit stepped onto the stage at the front of the room, holding a microphone. With a smooth voice, he started.“Ladies and gent

Emma Watson A light knock on the door made me jolt up from my sleep and I raised my eyes towards the door, standing up on my feet to open it.As I opened the door, maids from different angles started to appear with different designers on their hands.My eyes widened, and I gasped, unable to believe what I was seeing.“W….who are those for?” I asked when they settled inside.“Ma am. Sir. Ray, asked for these to be sent to your room.” One of the maids replied, making me furrow my brows.“For what?”They all raised their heads at me. “We are not in question to know that, ma'am.”After dropping off the accessories, I couldn't help but wonder who this man was.Who was Maverick ?I picked up my phone, turned on the internet and did some research on who Maverick was. Then it all appeared, giving me a shock on my bones.Ray Maverick ? I mean, I am auctioned to Ray Maverick . The billionaire bachelor that got everyone tripping for him. I finally have him in my abode? But then, one thing struc

Emma Watson All eyes flew to me, and though Ray was blind, he looked my way. I was surprised at my own bravery. "I mean, who calls his son useless?" I said to release the tension, but it had little to no effect. "Watch your tone, girl," his father's voice cut through the air. "You are a nobody to speak to me," he added. The faces of Lucas and Bella were still unreadable as they watched their father. "I don't know what gutter Ray found you in, but if you try that ever again, you will return there." His voice was calm, but his facial expressions gave meaning to his words. "Father!" Ray hit the table loudly, making my heart skip out of my body. "I will not have you insult my wife in the presence of everyone." "We are done here. Let's get going, Emma. It seems we weren’t welcomed here," Ray emphasized as he stretched his hands, searching for me, then dragged me towards the door. He really had a great sixth sense as he led me perfectly away. "Rayian!" his grandfathe

Lucas Maverick "Come on, man, that's your sixth bottle," Norman, my best friend, said, trying to stop me from gulping my liquor down. "Slow down!" he added. I ran my hand through my hair. "He has everything, Norman. Despite being disabled." "Now he's married." My laughter echoed. Despite the fact that the bar was filled with music, it couldn't tame it. "And to top it off, Grandpa favors him." "Don't let that get to you, man. Let's get you home." The strippers kept dancing around, flaunting their bodies on me. "Await my next move, Ray." ...The Next DayIt was a brand-new day, and I had to get to work. Styling the latest Louis Vuitton outfit, I gave myself one final look before setting out. "Can this car go a little faster?" I questioned after noticing the funny movements of my newly purchased Bugatti."Yes, sir. Let me quickly check it," my driver said before stepping out to inspect the car. "All good, sir," he returned, moving the car into motion. Our company w

Emma Watson"What happened to Lena?" "Wasn't she getting the treatment..." A lot of thoughts kept swirling around in my head. I needed a way out of here, but how? "Mrs. Ray..." A small voice cut through the air. "Yes..." I tried to say, but my voice was stuck in my throat. "Mr. Ray is out. He said you should let me know if you needed something." Ray was out? That meant I could find a way out. I thought as I leaned near the bed, towards the door.I opened the door and let her in. "Ma'am, can I quickly visit my sister? She's kinda sick in the hospital." I didn't want to lie, so as not to get into a bigger problem. "Mr. Ray wouldn’t like that." She threw her face to the floor. "Please, please!" I begged as I took her hands in mine. "I will be back before you know it." "I'm sorry, but I can't, Mrs. Ray," she shook her head. "Sir Ray will have my head for breakfast if anything happens to you. Worst case, you don’t return." "Please, ma’am. I will return, and nothing ba
