Anna and Jonathan: The Arranged Marriage CHAPTER 31
ANNA POVWe haven't even spent up to three days here. Why is he suddenly in a rush to leave. "something must be going on" I presume in my mind.I wanted to ask him why but I kicked against it when I recalled what he told me. I shouldn't question his orders and do as he says I interpreted those words he said to me the previous night.."Nevermind" I said quickly before he spit out something annoying."What about them" I asked another before he could walk away. The way he stopped on his track and turned to look at me sent momentary lapse of shivers down my spine."Did i say something wrong?" I wondered in my mind"Them?" He repeated the last word in an hoarse voice, raising a brow. He held a baffled expression. "I mean what about dad and mom. I thought our honeymoon was arranged by them. Won't they be offended when they get to know we only spend few days here? I explained, my voice gentle, picking my words carefully. "Oh, them" Jonathan noded in understanding. His tensed shoulders dro
Anna and Jonathan: The Arranged Marriage CHAPTER 32
JONATHAN'S POVInside his office, I sat in front of the manager with boldness, looking at him sternly like he had something written on his face. Mr Albert doesn't seem moved by my sudden appearance in his office. As if he had been expecting me for long.His face held less expression and a slight smirk.."Such a mischievous fellow" one would nearly spit out, just merely looking at him right now.Being the manager of one of the most popular hotel in the city must have taken a thorn on him somehow or rather he is someone who must have experienced the bitter side of life in his early days. Walking into his office some minutes ago gave me quite some chills. With the way he glared at me the instant i set my foot into his office, it felt like he wanted to devour me. I guess he must be holding grudges against me for messing with his niece or maybe his job and position. "Mr Clarkson, how are you doing?" He spoke out politely like a professional that he is. "I hope you are enjoying your ho

LUCAS'S POV The atmosphere in the hotel is welcoming. Hotel attendants and security looking neat and professional in their uniforms. I walked to the reception desk flashing my thirty two set of teeth at the receptionist. She happened to be carried away by what she was writing. Maybe a hotel log and visitors book I guessed. "Good day miss" I greeted, diverting her attention from what she was doing. "Good day sir" She replied with a smile, closing the book and putting it aside to attend to me. "You look beautiful" I complimented marveled by her beauty. She is a blonde with plump lips and brown eye balls. "Thank you She blushed. How may I help you?" She asked professionally. "Oh yeah, I am here to see Mr Clarkson" "You mean the newly weded couple?" She explained "Yes, I guess you are current" "Do you have an appointment with him?" She asked "Yes, I do" I retorted She wanted to place a call but I stopped her immediately. "Don't worry, I've called him th
Anna and Jonathan: The Arranged Marriage CHAPTER 1
ANNA'S POV"Mom, Dad I am home!" I announced as I took the stairs two at a time. In no time, I arrived at the top of the stairs leading to my parent's room."Mom Dad!" I called out again feeling so excited to be meeting my parents after almost six months. There was so much excitement in me that I didn't bother to wait for a response from them, I just dashed into their bedroom. There was no one in the room and I was momentarily confused for a moment. The driver had told me my parents were at home and I had seen their vehicles when I drove in, so where could they be? Heck, I was too anxious to see them. I was still wondering about their whereabouts when I heard voices downstairs. I abandoned my suitcase and took the stairs, two at a time until I arrived at the bottom, only to see my parents walking out of their study with the Clarksons. The Clarksons have been my parent's old-time friends. I didn't have time to greet the Clarksons as my mother quickly jumped on me in excitement. "A

I woke up with a start as the alarm clock beside me blared out its harsh sound. With an annoyed grimace, I stabbed hard on the alarm clock and silenced it."How the fuck do you still work?" I asked confused as I stared at the old alarm clock I had used as a kid."God damnit." I cursed again when it was obvious that I wasn't going to get more sleep again. I peeled the duvet off my body and climbed down the stairs to the kitchen and got some water. I returned to my room and while sipping the water, I took out my phone and found a message from my friend, Jess, back in college saying, "Hey girl, we are done with college and I think it's time you add some spice to your life. Check this out." To complete her message was a link. Well, since it was coming from Jess, I had no hesitation about clicking it. My face almost turned red from embarrassment when the content of the link loaded. The link had taken me straight to a Tinder account that belonged to me. I was both mortified and angry. Ho
Anna and Jonathan: The Arranged Marriage CHAPTER 3
"Anna, are you okay?" My mom asked carefully."Are you trying to force me to get married to someone?" I asked pained by their words. "Yes!" They both chorused.God, the shamelessness of my parents. "Mom, Dad, I just returned from school yesterday. Heck, I am supposed to be having some respite here, but instead, you both are trying to force me to get married?" I yelled. "Well baby, we just felt..." My mom was still speaking when I stormed out of the kitchen in tears. "Let her be." I heard my dad tell my mom. I ran back to my room and filled my pillow with tears. Yes, I have always known that my parents believed in arranged marriages. Theirs was an arranged marriage and though it had worked for them, I was certain that I didn't want that life for myself. Hell, maybe if Jeff hadn't broken my heart, I wouldn't be in this mess. I was still crying when my mom climbed up my bed and snuggled close to me. "I am so sorry dear." "I don't want to hear it." I sniffed. "I know you are mad,
Anna and Jonathan: The Arranged Marriage CHAPTER 4
JONATHAN'S POVMy lips curved in a smile as I glanced at the pretty young lady before me. Hell, those hips were great. I wanted to tell her so, but I knew better than that. Women tend to take compliments into their heads. With a courtesy nod, I shrugged past her and walked into the house. I sat along with my parents after I had greeted the McGregors. The older couple looked so pleased to see me and I could understand why. "We are so happy to see you, Jonathan. I am so sure you would love Anna." Mrs. McGregor said. "I am sure I would." I beamed at the woman disguising my disgust.Anna walked quietly and sat beside me at the dining table. She was all smiles, but I could feel the tremor in her.I smiled to myself knowing why. A lot of women had the chill when they met me. I don't know why, but my friends do say I have the charm. "Okay now, I am starving." My dad said in a bid to get the conversation moving.Like hungry people, we dug into the large meal that was served. I helped my
Anna and Jonathan: The Arranged Marriage CHAPTER 5
"I see that you like her." My dad commented on the drive back home. "She is beautiful." I shrugged, going through my phone. I was letting Lucas know to hold down the VIP slot at the club tonight. "Well, hopefully, this alliance brings more money to the family." My dad smiled at my mom. I was silent for a while as I stared at my dad through the rearview mirror. As nice as my dad could be, he was very ruthless when it came to business. That was where I got my business sense from. "But Dad, you know you can lend him the money and put your lawyers to work in case there is an issue. You could make a lot of money if the company collapses. You just have to have the right clauses." I suggested."Jonathan, you are acting like you still don't know anything about business. Why do I need to lend him money back and still pay my lawyers? That would be me spending unnecessarily and I hate that. With a marriage, you get to influence the heir to McGregor's wealth." My father said. "You have alway

JONATHAN'S POV My phone beeped indicating that I have a message. I took my phone to check it. Going through the message, what I read took me by surprise. So, she is related to the manager. A lot of questions has been roaming in my head concerning the incident that day. I told lucas to investigate what happened that day after i was sent away from the hotel. After balancing the whole equation, I guess he must have forgiven and given her another chance due to this reason. It all make sense now. So leaving the hotel should be my next mission now. I dropped my phone on the drawer beside the bed and settled for rest. "Good morning" Anna murmured as she made her way pass me into the washroom. I didn't reply her greetings instead I was lost staring at her body wrapped with towel obscenely. My body reacted immediately. The kind of effect she has on me is becoming more frequent. The desperate desire to unclad and get down with her every day is something I can't understand. Though I
Anna and Jonathan: The Arranged Marriage CHAPTER 29
ANNA'S POV It was was already late. I took my time to tour the hotel areas. I ate at the restaurant before going back to the suite. They made nice dishes. Now, I'm filled. I knocked on the door and it was opened only for me to face an angry looking husband. Jonathan frowned, his brows furrowed and his fist clenched. I guess he is furrows. "I thought I told you not to be late?" He finally spoke, anger evident in his voice. Now, he is being grumpy."Will you allow me to pass or you just gonna leave me standing in front of the door like a stranger?" He made way for me and i entered. "You haven't answered my question Young lady" He is damned on getting an answer"Where were you? where did you go, why did you stay up this long?" He threw question upon question. None, i was willing to answer.I just move straight to the room and lay flat on the bed. "I'm not talking to a statue i believe" "Yeah, sure you aren't" I sat up placing both hands behind my back to support my weight, I was

ANNA'S POV. "You mean Jonathan Clarkson?"..."Yes, Jonathan." the red hair affirmed her answer.Hearing his name being Called out felt like something was piercing my heart. I fought the urge to speak out but I kept my cool instead and continued listening to all the ladies were saying. "I heard he got married" "Yes, it is all over the Media. I was told it was a grand style"."Wow, the playboy finally got ringed and what is he doing here? Let me guess, to fuck some pussies?"The elevator reached the last floor and they pushed their trolleys out, while still talking about it.Every word they said kept piercing my heart deeper and deeper but I didn't hesitate to stop listening. It felt like I'm getting to know the kind of man I married. "Actually, He came with his wife for their honeymoon" The red hair continued. "To the same hotel where he lured numerous ladies to his bed?! She gasped. "Don't shout" she cautioned. "He has no shame. I feel so much pity for his bride. It is so un
Anna and Jonathan: The Arranged Marriage CHAPTER 27
Should I say i least expected her? "I wasn't expecting to see her around. Linda stood in front of the door with some flowers in her hand and a smile plastered on her face. I didn't know what to say to her, whether to say "Hi, how have you been?", anything of such or pretend like I didn't know her. Questions ramble in my head. How unfortunate that they can only remain in my head because now isn't the right time and place to ask.She looks so charming and beautiful just like the day I first set my eyes on her... Too bad her charms and beauty only ended up on my bed and out of it. There was an awkward silence between us for a minute before she finally spoke."Good evening Mr Clarkson?" She greeted me politely with a very presentable voice. "Hmmm," I heaved a sigh of relief when she started formally. I thought she was going to call me by my name. Good thing she chose to be formal."Good evening" I responded trying to stay unflurried. Her smile turned into a smirk, then I noticed sh

JONATHAN POV "What is she still doing here? I thought she was fired after that incident" i tried to put one or two things together but all seem vague."I really love to serve you throughout your stay here" She smiled to Anna who returned it cheerfully. "Alright" "See you around then" Anna said to her as she was about to leave but before she exited the door, she took one glance at me."Bye" She waved. I wasn't sure if she was waving at me or Anna but i couldn't tell. "Hmmm" I released a breath i didn't know i was holding. Her name is Linda. She happened to be one of the girls i had several stands with during my stay at the hotel. She was the one I got caught having sex with to be precise. I and Linda has a usual routine of meeting everyday during those period before we got caught.Just like every other female hotel attendant i had sex with, i did the same with Linda. Though initially, she hesitated for a while before she agreed. She came around frequently to my room and we always

ANNA'S POV.He cupped my face in his palm and kissed me deeply just like a person who is in love. The kiss was slow and tender not as rough as he used to have it. He took his time to suckle my lower lips, licking the lipgloss I applied. At first, I didn't respond but later on, I reciprocated the kiss enjoying every bit of it. Drawn by his sudden urge to have something slow and intensifying just the way I like it."Hmmmm" I moaned out forgetting we were not alone. By the time he stopped, we were both short of breath. Jonathan didn't say a word after the kiss. He only adjusted on his seat as if he felt some kind of discomfort under his butt. We resumed back to the awkward silence that existed between us before the kiss. No one spoke, no one said a word. We practically acted like we were different worlds apart.JONATHAN POV. I resumed what I was doing earlier after sharing a brief kiss with Anna. Sincerely, I haven't been myself ever since she walked out of the house earlier looki
