150 Days To Live, Yet To Love Chapter 19
Carly's POV I watched as Steven moved to the driver's side, his silence deafening. He didn't even spare me a glance, and I could sense the gloomy atmosphere surrounding him. I didn't know why, but his silence was really killing me. I mean at least he supposed to say something, like sorry. He brought me here, only to make them insult me, and also he didn't give me chance to finish my meal before he told me we were leaving. So why was he acting sulky?“I don't know why you brought me here just to have me insulted." I said, my voice dripping with hurt and disappointment.I had thought it would be a normal dinner, but who knew that it would be wordy-bloody one. Steven's hand stopped on the car handle, and he turned to face me. Then leaving the other side of the car, he came to where I was standing, at the passenger side of the car. “It looks like you aren't the only one who was insulted." He pointed out, his eyes shimmering with anger from earlier that hadn't completely dissolved.

Steven's PovMy arms curled around her body in a careful and protective way, holding her close as I protected her from falling. I watched silently, intrigued, as she shut her eyes, as if she was expecting something. Anticipating something... A kiss from me?The thought sent a chill through my entire body, and for a moment, I considered giving in to my desires. And trust me, if I decided go with what was in my head. The voice in my head that said that I should kiss her, I wouldn't be able to stop myself, and surely it could lead to something else. But I didn't want to ruin our deal. I didn't want to complicate things. So I pushed the thought aside and focused on the present.“What are you doing?" I asked, a grin spreading across my face as I struggled to contain my laughter that threatened to rip out of my lips."What are you thinking?" I added, and immediately she snapped her eyes open, staring at me with an intensity that left me breathless.This woman was doing something to me, some

Steven's Pov I sat behind my desk, drowning in a sea of paperwork. My spine and joints ached like hell from hours of hunching over documents. I still had a mountain of work to finish, and the weight of it was crushing me.I stretched my neck and my arching wrist, and Just as I was about to delve back into the chaos, a knock at the door broke the silence. “Come in," I muttered, not bothering to look up.The door creaked open, and footsteps echoed through the room, drawing closer to me. I raised my head to see who it was, and my eyes met with my secretary's, whose eyes were barely opened. He seemed so tired and overwhelmed, like he was on the verge of collapse.“So, have you found the perfect place for wedding attire?" I asked, my eyes narrowing at him incredulously. Earlier, I had asked him to look for a perfect place where Carly and I could buy our wedding attires.“Yes sir," he replied, then leaning closer to me to show me the picture of the place on the tablet in his hands. “T

Carly's POV I stared at my phone screen grudgingly, resentment flaring within me. Why did Steven think he could just call and order me around without even asking if I was available? His bossy attitude was infuriating.He called, but without giving me a chance to speak he hung up the phone.Who did he think he was?I gripped my phone tightly, my lips pressed together as I struggled to contain the raw anger growing in me. His demeanor was really getting on my nerves and I couldn't help but wonder why I had agreed to this deal with him without finding out who he was.I opened the message box and saw the address he had sent. The name of the place seemed to be a boutique, and I assumed it was related to the wedding. But I had plans of my own, and Steven's sudden demand was inconvenient. Apart from packing my precious belongings from my own house. I had also promised Ana that I would meet her later to explain everything, but now it seemed I would have to postpone our meeting. She had dem

Steven's Pov "What the fuck?" I sighed exhaustively, rewatching the video Mark had shown me. I couldn't believe something like this could happen, especially after I had just convinced Grandfather about my fake wedding to keep my position. Now, he would be suspicious.Then I suddenly remembered that I was supposed to meet Carly at the boutique. Since I had something urgent to deal with, I had no other choice but to text her to try on her bridal dress without me.After sending the message, I dropped the phone on the table and held my temples with my hands. A mixture of emotions filled me as I stared dazedly at the iPad screen on my table.

Carly’s POVI stared curiously at the gray-haired doctor sitting behind the desk at my opposite, his wrinkled brows furrowed into a deep frown. His gaze fixed intently on the medical report in his hands, and he scratched his forehead awkwardly, releasing a heavy sigh which made a feeling of anxiousness settled in me. I swallowed hard as the anxiousness in me transformed into a great fear, eating me up slowly. I had come to the hospital to have a check-up when I felt that I was sick, really sick. And the symptoms weren’t similar with any ordinary other illness, it was related to the same ones my mother had experienced before her passing. And since then I had become scared, scared that I might have inherited her disease. I had prayed that it wouldn’t be what I had hoped , because it wouldn’t do me anything good, going earlier and leaving the ones...“ According to the tests we constructed, and the result is in this paper. It's just that..." He paused, his eyes locking onto mine. I kne

Steven's Pov I watched silently as the woman across from me spoke tirelessly, the anger and frustration I was feeling inside me put me on the edge of losing my patient but I forced myself to calm down. If only I hadn't agreed to my grandfather's request to meet this blind date he had set up for me, I wouldn't be stuck here. But I'd had no choice, I had to meet up with this talkative woman, whose non-stop questions were grating on my nerves. “You don't have a girlfriend, right?" She asked, making me to sigh in annoyance. I didn't know why he had to go this far to force me to marry, despite knowing how my parents' marriage turned out like. That's why I'd always been leery of marriage - I didn't want to end up like my father. It wasn't because I didn't like woman, even on the contrary I love women, but only for their bodies. Which was why I hooked up with different girls every night to fill my desire. Which made the every news house took interest in me and named me the country play

Steven's Pov My mouth curled into an amusing smile as I watched the lady gulped down glasses of liquor. I had tried to stop her but she told me that she needed some liquor to quench the sadness and pain she was feeling inside her. And now, she was hammered.Everything about her captivated me, apart from her being beautiful and pretty, she had a carefree spirit. I had never felt such a strong attraction to any woman like this before, I was totally drawn into her. After rescuing her from her clingy boyfriend, or whoever he was. We had ended up in at the hotel bar. Without a word, she ordered a drink, gulped down the whole glass, and then ordered another. And in a short period of time she had finished two bottles.I wasn't the type of man to pry into other's business, yet I couldn't help the curiosity that was eating me up. What had driven her to drink like this? “Why the binge drinking?" I asked, staring at her intently. “What happened?" I added softly. I didn't know why I was act

Carly's POV As soon as his grandfather left the dinning table, the atmosphere grew tensed. So tensed that I felt suffocating in their presence. I wondered if they were real family, their antagonistic attitude for one another was very palpable.“Wow, I'm impressed, Steven." The man who I assumed to be Steven's cousin's father said, because I could see the resemblance between two of them. "I didn't think you'd go such lengths to secure your position in the company."“Of course I need to protect what's mine. Why wouldn't I?" He retorted. “I worked so hard to get there, and I can't let my hard work go waste." Steven added, his voice steady, with no hint of fear.Wow, he had returned to the previous Steven, the one who was confident, arrogant and fearless. Unlike the one he had become In front of his grandfather.“So you are saying that you are hardworking?" And the one who I presumed to be the mother of the cousin, confronted him, “The country playboy claims himself for being hard worki

Steven's Pov I couldn't just sit there and say nothing when my position was on the line. A flood of anxiety flowed through my veins as I thought about the consequences of being caught. What if she became scared of him and told him everything? How we met and what we had planned. I glanced at Carly, who was shaking slightly, and I knew that I did a great job at interrupting her.If my grandfather found out of our plan, that would be the end of everything, everything would ruin. I swallowed hard at my grandfather's threat, he was really a mean man. Trust me he wasn't a man who bluffed. If he got hands on what we planned, he would surely removed me from the family registry, but I was not ready to be removed. All my life I had dreamt of becoming the chairman of the knight enterprises, that's all I ever dreamt of, and that's all I ever lived for.I glanced around the table, meeting the suspicious gaze of my cousin, Peter. “But cousin, you don't really enjoy going to any reunion. So w

Carly's POV Steven drove through the the massive iron gate, into a huge compound dominated by a grand fountain in the centre, with lights swirling across its surface. He stopped the car engine, and we both stepped out. I gasped, my eyes widened with awe as I took in the breathtaking fountain. It was huge and beautiful.Since it was at night, I couldn't tell the most beautiful mansion between Steven's and this one. It was exactly what I was told about of the knight family, they were indeed the richest and most influential people in the country.Steven approached, extending his arm to me. “Let's go inside." He said and I nodded, slipping my hand into his curved arm. “Remember, " he said, pausing and staring at me. “We have to make them believe that we are a real couple. We must persuade them that we are in love. And no matter what you hear in there, you don't need to take it to heart. We're always being that way." He said, his eyes boiling into mine. He made it sound like what I was
150 Days To Live, Yet To Love chapter 15
Steven's Pov It was exactly seven when I got back to my villa, with the determination of taking Carly to meet my grandfather. I couldn't believe I had let my anger get the best of me earlier when she mentioned my parents —especially my mother. I had sworn to never think of her, never look for her. She had painfully made it cleared that she didn't want me in her life when she left me with my father and left me alone.Pushing the entrance door opened, I stepped inside and saw Carly and Rose sitting across from each other, chatting and laughing as if they had known each other for years. They seemed to have grown close.Rose was someone important to me, she held a special place in my heart. She had cared for me since I was young, and had shown me the love my mother didn't give me.The moment my footsteps echoed through the room, both of them turned their head in unison toward me and their eyes locked onto me. My gaze fell on Carly who I couldn't tear my eyes away from. she looke
