Chapter: CHAPTER 19MARRIED TO MR RIGHT (MMR)***#19"I believe you owe me a kiss now" he says while I stood there like a statue staring at him in disbelief as he started laughing hysterically."A... a kiss?" I stuttered causing him to laugh really hard. is the kiss really that funny?he cleared his throat "don't worry you can do it. it's just a harmless kiss and we've kissed on countless occasions before right?" he asked but I didn't respond. just then he leaned forward "are you scared Ciara?"he seems to be enjoying this. I bit my lips as I weighed over the pros and cons in my mind.why is he asking me to kiss him?he's never done something like this before.Maybe it's one of his tricks to see if I've finally fallen for him.He must think I'm crazy. well I was actually crazy to make a bet With a guy like Brian.Who does he think he is to ask me to kiss him.I let out a breath as I stared at his face.

I'm sure Alex saw everything but pretended as if she didn't."Hi." I called"Hello" Jake said holding Alex by her shoulders and pulling her closer to himself."How are you guys doing?" Brian asked shaking hands with Brian while Alex smiled at me."We're cool. sorry for today. Alex was really down so I had to take care of her." Jake explained"no it's okay""So how did it go?""It was alright." I said smiling sheepishly.I was thinking about everything that happened earlier before they arrived..Alex excused herself from Jake and walked into the room with me while the guys talked about random stuff."So..

Chapter: CHAPTER 17MARRIED TO MR RIGHT (MMR)***#17"Good morning sleeping beauty" I heard Brian's voice in my sleep.I opened my eyes to adjust the rays of sun passing through them.i sat upright on the bed as the blanket fell to the bed.I had forgotten that I was half naked until I heard Brian Cough"What's wrong?" I ask.he didn't say anything but pointed at my chest.I looked down only to realize that I was just in my bra which exposed my cleavages. I quickly pulled up the sheets to cover my body.I looked at Brian, he turned his head to the other side.why is he acting like he's never seen a naked woman before? I'm pretty sure Janelle Walks round the house in nudes giving him a chance to wander his eyes over her body and here he was pretending."Good morning" I greeted Brian who placed a tray containing tea and muffins."Rise and shine sleepy head"I grinned, holding my head.

Chapter: CHAPTER 16MARRIED TO MR RIGHT (MMR)***#16"Cheers"We all echoed at the same time round the dinner table.We were having dinner at Alex and Jake's garden tonight. They decided to give us our victory meal even when we tried to oppose the idea.Actually, we were having the meal together.They were almost like family now. we even decided that both families would be having dinner together from now on.I helped Alex prepare the meal and damn, she is such a great cook. I overheard Jake saying that she once attended a chef programme in LA before they got married so it's pretty obvious that she'll be this good."To Brian and Ciara for winning the piggy race" Jake said causing us to laugh as, we clinked our glasses together."Damn. you guys were pretty good today. like a, pro" Alex said giving Jake a soothing massage on his shoulders with her hands."Yeah. we make a pretty good team" Brian said I smiled shee

I ran my hands over my body quickly.I heaved once I realised that I was still on my clothes.So that means nothing happened between us last night.Great!I glanced at the alarm clock. it was almost eight in the morning. how did I sleep so late. I tried pulling Brian's hands from my hips but he tightens his grip on them. I tried to wiggle free but it felt kinda impossible.He pulls me closer to him as if he wanted to kiss me but I looked away."Brian get your hands off of me" I say trying to hit him but

The sun is magnificent. wait till you get out on the sand with the wind in your hair. you'll have a great time over here in Hawaii" he said drifting to the left."Do they have a, place where you can keep annoying people" I ask making Brian turn his face to look at me.The driver laughed."Most times." he said chuckling"great" I giggle"And hope the clubs are nice too. I heard you have a great night club over here. you know, where you can meet incredibly gorgeous and sexy girls" he said trying to annoy me"Maybe we could go together.

Winnie.AMBER.I placed the chrysanthemum on both their graves and so did Genie and Ivy.Miguel wrapped his arms around my waist while I comfortably placed my head on his chest as we all stayed silent.Grandpa told us Dad was buried at the same place we buried Mom.So I decided that we pay our respect since we haven't done that in a long time."Are you okay?" Miguel asked"Yeah. I feel at peace now" I replied..Later, we went home and I invited my lawyer as well as Chad.We brought some papers which I requested and I signed them transferring the house back to Chad.I also opened a trust fund for Genie and Ivy. I'd be depositing money in there from time to time to secure their future if in case anything should happen cause I wouldn't want them struggling in life.I h

Chapter: CHAPTER 33BEAUTY AND THE BEAST***FINALE***"Blood is thicker than water, but isn't rubbery thicker than blood? cornstarch too." Winnie.AMBER.Nothing can surpass the shock my entire being is going through right now.I couldn't stop staring at the Attorney that stood in front of me speaking gibberish.His words were already setting my body on fire. I would've cursed the weather but then I was clad in a bum short and sleeveless top so it can't be the weather.it's the fire of hatred burning inside my soul.Denisha really has some nerves I must say.And Miguel's expression isn't helping matters at all. Thank Goodness, I sent Genie to her room because I'm not sure I would be able to recognize my daughter after this."She said you're her sister and the only family she has that can help" he said and that's when I realise that this isn't a dream but reality.I scoff at that word "Sisters?"

I waited this long for the dust to settle before meeting with the staffs again.Grandpa promised to be there on time since he had something to take care of.."You look nice" Miguel compliments hugging me from behind. I smiled taking in his Cologne.I swiftly turned into his embrace."Why are you dressed? are you going somewhere" I asked"Yes" he said but I couldn't help but feel worried."Where are you going to?"

Chapter: CHAPTER 31BEAUTY AND THE BEAST***.AMBER."Send her back Miguel""OK" he replied and the call got disconnected.I quickly adjusted my dress and walked inside the board room to take my seat..Denisha is on her way so I need to make sure she signs anytime soon.I'm so thrilled my plan is coming together perfectly.it was my idea to send her away till I get the papers signed.you see, I never underestimate an enemy. Denisha has been keeping tabs on me so if she's here the plan won't go successfully cause I have to make her sign them without reading them.."Today we mark an important day which is the coming together of two companies as partners. Myers Prestige And M.S Fashion World" Tasha announced and we all clapped."Let's not get ahead of ourselves, until we do the needful" she said and signalled her secretary to bring the papers while Maria did same, placing it on her desk in front of

I held unto the papers tightly like my life depended on it..the lights suddenly came on and we found grandpa sitting on the couch with a huge grin on his face."Grandpa" I squealed running into his arms.he stood up to embrace me."Bella" he breathed out "I've missed you""I did too""How are you grandson" he referred to Miguel who stood behind us."I've been better. how was your vacation?""great but I miss work""Have you met Genie?"
