Semua Bab The billionaires bride: Bab 11 - Bab 20

Arlo opened the door then led out of the large sitting room. The large door let out a loud bang as he slammed it in anger, his mother, Maybelline, watched in surprise, she did not think that it would get that bad, she had not expected that that gold digger, that social climber, Vivienne would penetrate her son's heart the way she had. To be completely honest, Maybelline had thought that Vivi would end up being one of Arlo's little play things who he would eventually leave when he got tired, Maybelline had seen many ladies walk in and out of Arlo's life so she had not expected Vivienne to stay as long as she had. Introducing Vivienne, her rival's only daughter to Arlo was a joke that seemed to have backfired, watching her son walk out the way he just had, watching him defend her honor proved that. It also proved to Maybelline that she needed to stop taking things easy, she had to step up her game because there was no way that she was just going to watch everythi

The call came when Jenny was already preparing for bed, she already had her Korean face mask on. Her short brunette hair was already pushed back, away from her eyes. She had already soaked up in the tub of warm water, bubbles and essential oils. That night was meant to be special, it was supposed to be an early night. That night, Jenny had decided not to watch the dating reality television show late into the night, no. She had decided not to waste her time scrolling on social media, no. That night, Jenny decided to read a book…a novel, she had decided to re-connect with the girl she use to be during her college days, when she would frolic through the yard of UC Berkeley with a book in one hand and a starbucs cup in another. Jenny wanted to recapture those moments, to sleep early and then dead about the only person she enjoyed dreaming about: Mr. Arlo Ian Markis, her boss who she had fantasized about being with ever since she was a teenager, her boss who had confirmed that

Ms. Maybelline Markis coming into the hospital room seemed to cause everything to stop. It was like a movie moment when there'd be coffee spilling out of a cup and then freezing halfway to the ground, right there in the air. It was like those overly dramatized parts of movies when the already stressed cleaner would have a wild expression frozen on their face as they waited anxiously for the coffee to spill to the ground, when the chef would be frozen in the overheated kitchen, damn-near pulling his or her whole hair out as they yell at the kitchen staff because an important food critic had decided to visit the restaurant for some reason. It felt like that kind of moment in Raya's hospital ward, that frozen moment when just one person's presence, just one person's aura puts everything to a stand still. Everyone in the hospital room breathed like it was a sin to share the same air with this person, they moved with caution or did not move at all. There was tensio

Jenny paced the parking lot of her apartment as she waited for the super model, Zara Sparks, to reply to her direct message. She wondered if she might have made a mistake by putting her eggs in one basket by presuming that Zara would jump at the idea to destroy Arlo's opportunity of getting married, by seeing Zara as being vindictive as the blogs and magazines had painted her to be…there was the fear that she had wasted her time by banking fully on Zara's help but yet again Jenny had this really strong instinctive feeling that the supermodel will come through.Jenny had been there when it all happened, not there-there since she was not yet Arlo's personal assistant at the time. At the time, Jenny was still a new employee working in one of the tiny cubicles on the ground floor of the company's skyscraper. At the time, Jenny was one of the unimportant people, the easily replaceable intern who did irrelevant things like fetch coffee and doughnuts for their senior bosses or scour social

When Zara walked into the hall the air seemed to leave. There were gasps, low mumbling and then cameras pointed in her direction. The reporters were especially excited to see her there. They knew that her presence would grab the public's attention, basically it was pay-day for most of them so they clicked away on their cameras and the camera flashed. light flashes, shutter sounds, everything eroded the air. The once quiet hall was slowly turning into a raucous center for chaos. Jenny took a glass of red wine from a tray, she slipped it with a smile on her face. She watched the beautiful chaos that she had created enlarged into something bigger, into something that even she could not control anymore. Zara shut an angry glare at the fiancee to be Vivienne, while Vivi stared at Arlo questioning with a glare on her face. Jenny waited for everything to explode, for everything to scatter and it did… with just one sentence from Zara Sparks. “Are you going to t
