Chai skillfully arranged the bouquets, expertly com

“Lastly, don’t create unnecessary fear in your mind. It slows you down.” I swallowed lightly. “But it’s not easy,” I said quietly, facing him. He didn’t respond immediately, and silence returned. After a minute of heavy silence had passed, he spoke. “Nothing about this arrangement is easy.” Arrangement. That word echoed sharply again and again. Not marriage anymore? Not a relationship? Just an arrangement. I slowly lay back on the bed again, turning slightly away from him. The space between us felt wider than the room itself. From my reaction, he knew everything wasn’t okay with his last words.

Amber was glad she had his attention now, even if the look on his face wasn’t a pleasant one. “Do I need to explain this again to you Miss Dubois? This is a business arrangement. Furthermore, I am still awaiting all the results from your medical tests. In time, Dr. Gainey will provide me with the time of the month you will be ovulating to maximize the chances of conception. You just had your birth control implant removed, so those hormones are still in your system. Do not take me for a fool Miss Dubois. Have a nice day.”

I remember that I have to be here till they wrap up the audition with the girls and arrange a press conference for the candidates today or tomorrow, depending on how long this audition outstretches throughout the day. Somewhere deep within my subconscious, I know that they have chosen the six girls they had initially wanted, and it shouldn't take me more than an hour to arrange that conference and another hour to wrap up everything here and leave for the night. I check the display on my phone. It's four p.m., and I already feel like kicking my stilettos off and going home for the day.

I had just finished mopping the kitchen floor, when my cell phone rang. Trying to swipe the answer button with wet hands, I then kept it on speaker and spoke," hello?" Honestly at first I didn't know whose number it was. Cause I didn't had anyone's number. Our marriage was arranged indeed, and it was also all of a sudden marriage. Like one day Tariq's parents came to see me and the next day it was my nikkah. I did knew Tariq as Akka's friend from college but other than that I didn't know anything.

What Was Arranged Emily's POV In the morning Yoana's panel showed a territorial bond-network that was organised along specific lines of connection rather than the more diffuse pattern that had characterised the network even at its most coherent point before the previous night. The lines of connection were not new. They were the existing bonds between wolves in the territory, between packs, between the packs and the regional governance structures. What had changed was their arrangement. The bonds were now structured in a way that was — Mia used the word efficient and it was the right word — efficient. The connections between elements of the territorial network were arranged to minimise the di

We walk downstairs and I hide the ultrasound pictures as we arrive in the living room where Daxine, Kayno, Zeno, and Mark are sitting. “Hey guys.” I say. “Hey princess.” Kayno says. “What’s going on?” Mark asks. “Nothing. We just wanted to announce something.” Xavier says. “Is the wedding coming sooner?” Daxine guesses. “No. That’s plan is still intact.” Xavier says back. “So what is it?” Zeno asks.

Yes, I fell in sleep while I was cocooned in my arranged husband's embrace, securely. ********************************************

“Aye. And I’ve got a suit in my car.” She took a heavy breath, then let it out in a rush. “What time is the appointment?”

“Mm, you don't need to try to sway his sister anymore, I've gotten what I want.” Justin arched a brow. “And what's that supposed to be?” Andrew's lips slightly curved but it couldn't be called a smile, it lookes quite sinister than pure. “They'll be leaving for Singapore soon and that's where my plan will take form.” Justin sighed. “Do you actually like this girl or just wish to take your revenge on Leonardo?” “Anyway you wish to put it Justin.” Justin shook his head. “Sometimes you confuse you know.” Andrew smiled. “It's better to be mysterious than to be an open book anyone can easily read, the first comes with more advantages. Now you may leave.”
