chapter 1***MARRY ME

The doctor's words had felt like a bullet piercing through her chest.Terminal cardiomyopathy. Last stage.If lucky, she could live up to nine more months, but anything after that, wasn't certain.Tiana didn’t cry at the hospital that day. She had walked out quietly, the traffic blaring around barely got to her. Everything had turned silent with nothing but a high toned ringing noise in her ear.Sitting down in the quiet confines of her room, a book laid flat to her lap.Her handwriting boldly written in the front page.Things I want to do before I die.1 Learn to drive2 Eat the biggest cake I can afford3 Ride a bike4 Travel in a plane5 Learn to swim6 Have sex, just once. To know what it felt like, truely.Her eyes remained fixed on number six for a long time and a pathetic chuckle left her throat.Ridiculous. She thought, but what else did she have to loose?. She'd already lost everything in her life when a private company demolished her family's small home a year ago to build a

chapter 2***THE DEAL

The man who had been captured and locked here for some days now was already bleeding profusely when Vince entered the room.The bright bulb that hung from the ceiling on a loose wire dangled slightly, casting long shadows over the concrete walls.The man was tied tightly to a chair, his hands were roped soo tightly that his fingers had already began to turn purple and numb. Blood soaked the cloth tied around his mouth.Vince barely glanced at him, simply approached the metal table inside the room, putting on the pair of black gloves already made available, and then turned his focus to the pitifully man.The man whimpered when the cloth was yanked from his mouth.“ I..I swear I don't know..” the man sobbed loudly but in the next second, one of Vince's men was already in front of him, a sharp punch met his gut and it caused the chair to scrape loudly against the floor.The man gagged, chocking on his own blood.Slowly, Vince crouched in front of him, their faces level. For years, he h

chapter 3***MAKE UP ARTIST

Tiana hadn’t expected that she wouldn’t see him for over a week.At first, she'd assumed that he would come to her and explain more in details about the deal they'd made, perhaps sign some documents too but it had already been two weeks since that day and she hadn't even seen his shadow.She had roamed almost every space in this house and one thing was certain.This house was massive.Dark marble floors stretched along the floors while white dominated the walls.Tall ceiling to floor length windows were lined at calculated distance from each, covered behind dim golden curtains that barely let the natural lights in.She'd known rich people lived in wealth, yes, but this kind, was different. It was the kind of wealth that didn't need to be loud to be known, quiet, old.Everything here were mostly coated in black, white or gold. Tiana found the colours dull and gloomy, not a single ounce of warmth or life.She had toured several parts already. The music room where she'd seen severel musi

chapter 4***MEETING HIS FAMILY

When she came out, the two of them were sitting on the sofa waiting for her.''Hmm '' The man named Theo hummed while observing her. The dress appeared quite tight on her, too tight.''Not bad, but try this one; '' The woman gave her a pink gown this time.''Tell me if you need a hand in there. '' She said when Tiana spent longer putting it on.When she was done and came out, both parties stared at her, but they still didn't look impressed, the dress was okay, but they needed it to be more than okay.The woman's eyes caught a red gown that was sticking out from the pile of dresses, she immediately pulled it out and raised it up.''Wow! Look at this one”She exclaimed, immediately throwing the dress at Tiana who caught it before it could hit her face.''I think you'll need a hand on that one, '' She said and followed Tiana into the bathroom.In the next six minutes, they stepped out.Theo, who had harboured doubts about the colour because of the girl's blonde hair, rose a brow, taken a

chapter 5 ***FAMILY DINNER

His words had caught her off guard. Yes, she'd agreed to the deal to marry him for a year, but hearing him say that to her felt…well awkward, like a man who you'd dated for long finally telling you he was taking you to meet his relatives.“There's a family dinner tonight, and it's the perfect chance for you to meet everyone”She watched him reach for his pocket, pulling out his phone. He showed her his screen and the first picture was of an old man.“ This is my father, don't have a long conversation with him, else he'll sniff you out, this is my mother” he said swiping across the screen“ This is my uncle and his son, do not interact with them” He instructed, his brows creased a little.“ Any other person you see there, without my permission, do not have any conversation with them, is that understood?”Confused, Tiana wanted to ask, but she decided to keep her questions to herself. They weren't close enough for her to ask such questions. “ Also, when we get there, I want you act lik

chapter 6***FUTURE MRS DONOVAN

The door of the living room opened and Tiana could feel the atmosphere around Vince turn colder the moment he saw whom walked in. His hand which was wrapped around her waist tightened slightly as the new guest stepped in. Dressed in a black suit, his grey hair was combed back neatly and his beard, properly groomed. He entered with a smile and charisma that seemed too fake to be real. Tiana recognized him from the photos shown, he was Vince's uncle. “Well well..” Jacob mulled the moment he entered and saw his nephew who rarely attended any family gatherings. “Isn't this a rare sighting?” his gaze stayed a while on Vince, before they slowly shifted to the woman sitting closely beside him, for a brief second, his eyes darkened as he stared at the girl as if already aware who or rather what role she played here. They were really desperate to get an heir soon it seemed. “ Uncle “ Vince acknowledged in a flat tone, a silent warning as if telling him to ward his eyes somewher

chapter7***WHAT DO I GET

“ I hope you understand dear…” Jacob began, specifically focusing on Tiana“That marrying into a family as ours, is not something simple, especially to someone as my nephew, who's possibly had sex with more women than the stars combined”Silence as loud as a thousand chiming bells filled the hall almost instantly.The tension which had been almost non-existent since dinner began appeared to have heightened at Jacob's words.No one said a word, no one made a reaction, but everyone's eyes fell on one person.As if frozen in time, Vince paused the movements of his knife against his plate, he said nothing, not a single change could be seen on his expression, but the air around him had turned colder that an iced lake.As gently as anyone would, he placed down his cutleries, the sound of his chair scraping the floor was heard as he stood.“I'm afraid i might have overstayed my welcome” The words came out dangerously low. He turned to his side, reaching his hand out to the women next to him.

chapter8***A DANCE

Before she could complete her words, he pulled her to him and kissed her. There had been no warning and this caught her off guard.Tiana gasped against him, her hands instinctively pressed against his chest in an attempt to push but her action only made him tighten his grip at her waist, pulling her closer until there was no space left between them.Tiana's thoughts scrambled, her pulse paced wildly when she felt his hand slide up her back, his callous fingers threaded through her hair. Her vision blurred, everything around her became a distant echo, the garden, the breeze, the birds twitting, all of it faded off to nothing as the only thing she could sense was the light graze of his hands over her skin.When he finally pulled back, her lips tingled. Slowly, his thumb brushed lightly across her lower lip, she shivered at the touch.“W..what was that for?” She struggled to keep her voice from trembling as she asked.He gave her no reply, instead, his gaze shifted slightly past her sho

chapter9***STRIP

“ She has it saved for someone else”A voice interrupted.Vince's face suddenly came into view.He approached Tiana who looked slightly relieved, stretching his hand out, a silent order which she obeyed by placing her fingers lightly in his hand.“Shall we, darling?”His deep, sexy, masculine voice sent shivers down her spine and before she could react, he'd already taken her drink and placed it back down on the table. He led her away from the ginger haired man, towards the dance floor, where a few other couples were already dancing.Vince took one of her hands and smoothly placed it on his lower back and held the other one in his hand. He slipped his arm behind her and pulled her close to him, leaving no gap between their bodies. Tiana was certain her brain had stopped functioning at this point and all she could do was follow his lead.She was glad that her father had taught her how to dance back when she was a teenager, back then it had just been a silly game to her, never in a mill

chapter10***THE RULE BETWEEN US

The ride back was quiet.Not the stiff, uncomfortable kind of silence that begged to be filled. This one simply existed between them, stretching long and weightless, like something neither of them wanted to disturb.Tiana leaned her head slightly against the cool glass of the window, watching the city lights blur into streaks of gold. The party still clung to her senses — the music, the glances, the murmurs that followed them everywhere. But more than anything, she felt him.Vince.Sitting beside her like a storm sealed inside a perfectly tailored suit.Even now, with his tie loosened and the top button of his shirt undone, he looked composed. Untouched. As though nights like this meant nothing to him.Unlike her.Her fingers tightened unconsciously around the fabric of her dress pooled on her lap.“You’re thinking too loudly.”She blinked and turned toward him. “Excuse me?”His gaze remained forward, calm and unreadable. “You frown when you overthink.”For a second, she just stared a
