21 - Two-night stand

"This is it." She looked at the massive gate before her and compared the location on the map on her phone. It was a match.She had arrived at her destination. It was the address that her soon-to-be father-in-law gave her. Surprisingly, it was more than she had expected as her eyes roamed around the place."O.M.G! Am I dreaming?" She patted herself on the cheeks, wondering if she was seeing things.She suspected that James came from money, but she never predicted he would be this filthy rich, judging from the massive estate before her.She believed she could probably build ten houses or even more on the expansive lawn alone. Suddenly, she could not help but picture the orphanage in the center of the beautiful landscape."Oh! I would have loved growing up in a place like this." She mumbled as her eyes feasted on the beautiful scenery. It looked like a place that belonged in fairy tales.Suddenly, she imagined the kids playing on the grassy lawn, running around, laughing their hearts out

22 - Welcome to the family

No! She could not marry him. This arrangement was not what she had signed up for. She thought she would be marrying a stranger, a man she did not know. Not him.But alas, fate seemed to be playing a cruel joke on her as she found herself back in the arms of the man she swore never to see again."Do you, Charlene, take this man to be your lawfully wedded husband?" The officiating priest spoke up, breaking up her trance and reminding her where she was.Oh! Shit! Charlene, you're about to get married.Her eyes immediately looked at the beautiful white roses that decorated the room. It was a small gathering, but that did not mean that it was a cheap celebration.Only a few of the Saunders family and friends came. On the other hand, she just had Anna and a few of her closest friends who joined her in this short ceremony."Better get your shit together." She silently mumbled to herself as she focused her attention back on the man in a white robe."...to live together in matrimony, to love

23 - Power play for the throne

He watched a man waltz confidently toward him, acting as if he were the man of the hour. But that was nothing new. This man had always loved hugging the spotlight. He had always competed against him, wanting to prove to everyone that he could outsmart him. "She is indeed a beautiful bride." His unexpected guest complimented the woman who stood beside him as they mingled with their well-wishers. The man sounded sincere as he greeted his wife, but he knew better than to slip into his trap. His wife might fall for his charm, but not him. "Welcome to the family." He kissed his wife's knuckles, acting like a real gentleman. But he knew better, knowing it was just all an act. "By the way, I'm Eric Rockford." "Thanks, Eric. It's nice to meet you." His wife responded courteously before excusing herself to join her few guests. Truthfully, he still had unfinished business to settle with his new wife, but he guessed he would have to wait until they were alone again. For now, he had other,

24 - No place in her heart

"What's with the glum face, Charlie?" Anna greeted her as soon as she left her new husband's side. "You do remember that this is your wedding, not a funeral. Right?" Her best friend sarcastically commented.Of course, she knew that. How could she forget such a momentous event in her life? She just married the man of every woman's dreams. According to an article she read on the internet, he was one of the most eligible bachelors and the most sought-after guy by the single ladies in the elite society."Well, you look like you just lost." Emmy seconded, raising her eyebrow as she looked at her before turning her attention to her husband.Frankly, her friend might have described exactly how she felt. She felt lost as she contemplated her role as a new member of the Saunders family.She did not know how she should feel about her new situation. Most women would be thrilled to marry such a man, but she was not like them."But I could not figure out why when you just hit a jackpot." Emmy con

25 - The fake CEO's wife

Darn it! My feet are killing me.She struggled to stay upright, hating the fact that she had to wear those damn high heels. One would think that, as a model, she should be used to it by now, but she still preferred her flat shoes.But that was not all, as she felt her aching jaw from all that smiling. Who knew that acting could be this hard? But it was what she was here for, to act as the dutiful wife."This is Mr. Edmon, a close friend of my father and a loyal board member of the Saunders Group." Her husband introduced another one of their numerous guests.Honestly, she could not help but wonder if she would remember any of their names when she woke up the next day. But still, she remained polite and acted as a gracious wife."It was lovely to meet your wife, Isaac." The man clapped her husband on the shoulder, showing his approval. Mission accomplished, she thought. So far, she appeared to be doing a great job. No one seemed to question their marriage. But then again, this was just

26 - Nothing more than just a contract

"I do." She uttered with a shaky breath in her most delighted tone. She could not believe that she had finally married the man of her dreams. Truthfully, it felt surreal as she stared into those sparkling, mesmerizing eyes. Her Prince Charming stood before her in his tailor-made tuxedo that fit him like a glove. He was the epitome of a knight in shining armor, with his dashing smile and pearly white teeth."I do." He responded with the same intensity as her, grabbing her trembling hands before pushing the ring onto her finger.Her eyes automatically stared at the two rings on her finger. Honestly, she had never worn such expensive pieces of jewelry in her entire life. But now, priceless heirlooms and expensive clothing adorned her body from head to toe. It was as if she had been living in her fairy tale as her dreams came true."You are a man and a wife. You may kiss the bride." The words echoed in her ears, declaring the ceremony had concluded. But her new life had just begun.The

27 - Kiss me

"What is the dream all about?" He inquisitively asked while he moved back into his chair beside her.For some reason, she could read curiosity in his eyes. It was as if he was genuinely interested in knowing what she was thinking. However, it was not something she would like to share with him. Besides, she was fine. She did not need to rehash and make a big deal about her silly dream."Nothing!" She hastily replied, hating how he kept popping up into her thoughts, consuming her even in her sleep, even if it was the last thing she wanted."It is probably some crazy staff. See, I could not even recall it anymore." She said, shrugging her shoulders and acting like she had already forgotten about it. "Anyway, I'm wide awake now. Whatever it was, it must not be important." She added, wishing to sound convincing.She readily straightened in her seat and fixed her disheveled clothes. With her fingers, she combed her hair, hoping it would smooth the locks that had gone astray.She knew she h

28 - A perfect place

28 - A perfect place - Charlie"OMG! This place..." She stood tall on the edge of the balcony just outside her private room, breathing the fresh, crisp wind that blew her hair in every direction.She loved how the breeze did not reek of smoke, trash, and the usual suffocating atmosphere of city life. On the contrary, it was a breath of fresh air that filled her with unbridled enthusiasm."This view..." She breathlessly gasped as her eyes took in the spectacular landscape before her.She had never seen such a beautiful sight in her entire life. It was like her world had turned upside down. Suddenly, she was in an alternate universe, living a life she had never even dared to imagine."Damn! This moment is the fucking perfect life." She had lived most of her youth in a place where the rays of sunshine were a luxury she could barely afford.But now, she was basking under the radiance of the glorious sun as it took its rightful place in the clear blue majestic sky. It seemed the daybreak h

29 - Let the action begin

"Where are we going?" Charlie asked him after several minutes of sitting quietly on the passenger side while he drove them in a rented vehicle to one of the local's famous tourist destinations.He could sense her anxiousness as she fidgeted with her fingers on her lap. He assumed that was one of her telltale signs when she was nervous.Why she felt that way, he had no idea. He could read the people in an entire boardroom and know what they were thinking. Unfortunately, he could never guess what went on in a woman's mind."I hope you are still up for an adventure." He briefly glanced in her direction, wondering if she was anything like the models he dated before.Most of them would never touch anything that could ruin their skin and figure, whether it was food, a strenuous activity, or something gross."Yeah! I learned that this island offers many interesting attractions and fun activities." She related what she probably heard or read about the resort.It was true. This place had numero

30 - Damsel in Distress and her Knight in Shining Armor

"Woah!""Oops!""Oh, snap!" That was close.She almost slipped and lost her balance as her feet failed to grip the murky surface of the cave's ground. Luckily, she recovered, finding her equilibrium again.Her casual slip-on shoes, though flat, weren't designed for navigating these challenging conditions. But that was not her fault. She initially thought they were going to the beach, not up a rocky mountain.Damn it, Charlie!She needed to be more careful. The ground was both muddy and slick from the stream, with the water drifting freely and wildly on the stony rumbles. Luckily, she did not fall on her ass or hit her head. The last thing she wanted was a sprain, a broken bone, a cut, or a concussion from this trip."Hey, Charlie, are you alright?" Her husband suddenly stopped, probably noticing her almost stumble. Immediately, she felt his hands on her shoulders as he stood behind her in the dimly lit space, holding her in place.Holy shit!She did not know what shook her knees more
