Chapter: CHAPTER TENArianna's POV. I was not expecting to be enveloped in a tight hug immediately we alighted from the car and entered the house. “I knew you were so beautiful more than he had explained to us about you. Darling, come see the beautiful lady your son brought home for us.” Evan's mother gushed over me. I looked at Evan for help but he stared at his mother fondly. This was the only time I had seen him without a signature scowl. That man always had reasons to be angry and sometimes I was pissed that I ever got close to him. A pair of heavy footsteps descended the stairs and I felt myself waiting in anticipation. There were a lot of things wrong with this scenario but I couldn't help but just go along with it because what choice did I have? A man bearing striking resemblance to Evan appeared in my line of vision with the only difference of a greying hairline. He pinned me with the same stare his son did before staring at his son again. A silent exchange happened between them making me won

Chapter: CHAPTER NINEArianna's POV.Watching him play the good husband only made me realize one thing. He could act like a responsible person when he was in the mood, but when he was in the mood to be a pain in a person's butt, he wouldn't waste any time, and it was my duty to bring him back to the present. His doting attitude could make a woman think that he was truly in love with them and fall into his hands only to realize that he was only trying to make a mess out of their lives. "He's gone; you can stop the act now," I said with a roll of my eyes, hoping that he listened to me and I wouldn't have to talk to him or do anything besides the usual. A few minutes later we were approaching our landing stop. "Once we get to my parents' house, I need you to be as submissive as you can be. We can always continue our fights later on, but for now, we are the best couple they are ever going to meet. They are sweet people so it's going to be pretty easy for us to pull those stunts. If you are going to be a pain

Chapter: CHAPTER EIGHT Arianna's POV. I didn't believe that it was real until I found myself on a plane to Seychelles. How could he have just taken such a decision without consulting me first and expecting me to be happy that he went ahead to make me stressed out? Sometimes I rarely understood how men thought women to be. A toy that they could just twist to whatever they wanted and would just not be thankful to have them in their lives? I was only following this through because I wanted to teach him a teach him lesson that he would never forget in his entire life, and I would be glad to watch him suffer. "You don't look happy to be on a plane." He mentioned, leaning closer to me in a half-hearted discussion. I refused to pay him any attention and instead watched him carefully."Go figure, Einstein," I mumbled, waiting for him to respond but coming up with nothing. "Listen carefully. I believe that you are only trying your best to prove that you are the happiest person on earth, but it's practically use

Chapter: CHAPTER SEVENArianna's POV. "Let him go, Ross; we don't want to cause a scene here already." Another voice called and I stopped myself from turning to feed the curiosity that was growing inside of me. I refused to speak and instead got on looking at him and wondering why he was not speaking as usual. Evan looked like he was about to pass out excreta from how hard his face was. "Lighten up, blud; no one is here to cause your pretty wife harm. My boys know better than to try that nonsense with you." The second man spoke before laughing."We are not friends. Stop passing on the opinion that we are. I don't want to have anything to do with you, and I believe the feeling is mutual, so why don't we respect each other's opinions and not try to act chummy? We are not here to discuss. It's a party. Unless you have suddenly forgotten what that means." Evan responded in a calm tone but I could see the tautness in his shoulders. "Evan, ever uptight. What would anyone do to make you forget the past? It ha

Chapter: CHAPTER SIXArianna's POV. *Inside her room*I waited for a bit, tapping my feet on the ground in impatience as I thought about my next move. I couldn't allow this man to just win me at this game when I had a choice. Evan has decided to be a pain in my neck and I must make him realize that this wasn't going to work anymore. I had to make him pay so much that he would regret ever coming my way. The question was how? Especially when I had signed my right to a man who didn't think that it would be weird between both of us. I looked in the mirror and nothing was beautiful about my reflection. I was an embodiment of pain and sorrow. I pitied whoever wanted to be in my situation without knowing what I was going through. The door opened immediately and Evan stuck his head into it. "I see that you have managed to clean up yourself nicely. Who would have thought that you would possess such an ability? I mean it's one of the surprises that we face daily. If you have anything to say, I guess this is the

Chapter: CHAPTER FIVEArianna's POV. "Why, you ask?" Evan asked with a wicked smile on his face. I had never imagined my life to be with someone who wanted to make me completely miserable. I could see his happiness shining in his eyes. "Why don't you take a seat while I call the cleaner to take care of this? We don't want people saying that I mistreat my wife do we?" He asked sarcastically All I felt in that instance was reaching for him and smacking him across the face so that he returned to his senses. I pointed at him, my fingers shook at the action. "You are such a sleazy person. Who would have thought that you would include that clause question mark what did you intend to achieve in the first place? You wanted me tied down here so that you could have what? Make me give birth for you? You and I know that you are not in any form or shape ready to be a father of a child. Why can't you just let me go?!" I yelled, losing my cool. He was playing god with my life and I wasn't going to stand for it. He s
