Arranged Marriage to the Playboy Heir JEALOUS? 2
VERONICA’S POVI looked beside me. Lawrence was still in bed. I couldn’t tell if he was asleep or just pretending to be.It was already 6:am and the old Lawrence could have been out of bed and getting ready for work.I let out a silent sigh as I recalled how it had all started. His heartbreak has messed him up badly.Did he loved her that much or was it the betrayal from his friend that hurt him more...?Whichever one it was, I couldn’t tell. Any of them was enough to hurt anyone anyways.It has been past three days already since he got betrayed by his friend and lover. Ever since then, he had literally snapped out of life. Accurately put, he wished life would snap out of him. He would say no word to anyone or even agree to see anyone. Twice his mother came and twice she had left without seeing him.He had turned off his cellphone and his father couldn’t reach him.When director Mason had come to deliver his father’s message to him, out of respect for his father, or was it the fear of

WRITER’S POV“Hey,” Lawrence called quietly as he joined Veronica on the dining table.“Hey,” Veronica mumbled back without shifting her gaze away from her plate. He reached for the cinnamon toast in her front but struggled with it. Veronica lifted the plate of cinnamon toast and placed before him so he could reach it easily this time.“Thank you,” He said and glanced at her. He noticed she hadn’t looked up from her plate nor have their eyes met since he joined her at the table and when he glanced into her plate of food, she had barely eaten anything and repeatedly poked at the omelet and scrambled eggs before her.His lips pursed briefly as he wondered if her sudden quietness was something related to him.“Are you alright?” He found himself asking.“Mm-mmh,” She mumbled with her eyes still fixed on her plate.Lawrence shrugged and continued eating. He wondered what she was thinking about.The past week has been one of his worst but she had made it less traumatic for him. He didn’t t

WRITER’S POVLawrence pulled up in front of the hotel he and his friends usually hangout.He rested his right arm lightly on the steering wheel and looked up front. He was yet to drive into the place.He wondered if it was right that he went there knowing there’s a high chance that Charley would be there. Momentarily, he pondered on Veronica’s words and wondered if it wasn’t better he avoided seeing Charley for the time been. Seeing him would only rear up emotions he had shoved aside ever since that day. Image of Bianca brushed through his head. His teeth clenched and he bit his lips. He could feel his palms get all sweaty. Thoughts of her drew up bile in his stomach.His fist curled violently but he restrained himself. It was all he could do not to smash his already curled fist against the steering wheel before him.“Calm down, Lawrence...” he mumbled aloud to himself as he inhaled sharply.His phone beeped almost immediately. It was Carlos reminding him they were all waiting.He gl

WRITER’S POVLawrence was just about to tell Carlos to ignore what he said, that’s if he heard anything at all when the door was pushed open and Charley stepped in.His jaw clenched hard alongside his fists.“Hold it in, Lawrence, you can’t afford to attack him first.” He had to repeat the words to himself to be able to stop himself from charging at Charley the instant the door opened and he let himself in.“There you are! the second busiest man here after Lawrence. I feel like Carl and I have no ambition.” Carlos said the moment Charley stepped into the room, and made a pitiful face.Like Lawrence expected, Charley first glanced around the room to see if he was present. And when he saw him, Lawrence couldn’t have missed the disappointment in his face.He ignored the fact that he walked in while Carlos and Carl chatted with him.“You seem to be quite busy these days, Charley, what’s going on?” Carlos asked Charley.Charley just shrugged and said, “Well, nothing much exactly. Just a b
Last Updated : 2023-03-21Arranged Marriage to the Playboy Heir A WARM FEELING
LAWRENCE’S POVAs I trotted out of the hotel, I felt my heart pump hard. With every hard pump it made, I made a vow to forget about Bianca and move on with my life.Outside the hotel door, the chauffeur handed me my car keys.“Urh, my apologies sir, I was just about to bring the keys to you...”“It’s fine.” I said as I took the keys from him and made for the parking lot with long strides.I thought I would probably be feeling like shit after the whole scene but I sort of felt better. Maybe because I got to have the last punch and word...just like Veronica had demanded.“Shit...” I chuckled ruefully as I considered my reason for not feeling like shit a silly one.As I drove out of the hotel, several thoughts ran through my head.Above all, Charley’s words wouldn’t stop replaying in my head.My chest knotted as I imagined how stupid I must have looked before her all these times while I thought and believed like a fool that she loved me. The urge to drive over to her place and have her s

LAWRENCE’S POVAfter mother left, silence fell upon the room. Veronica’s focus was fixed on her food even though it was clear there was just a little amount of food still left in her plate.I stole quick glances at her. My admiration for her grew. It dawned on me there actually was a lot about her I was yet to discover.“Why didn’t you tell me?” I asked.She looked up from her plate. “Tell you what?”“That you were handling my work...I mean, you also had your own work to take care of....”“Well, I just did it...besides I had the help of your secretary too and your parents support.” She said with a light shrug.She made it sound like she did nothing much. If only she knew how huge it meant for me.“I should get the documents now...” She said and stood up.“Why did you do it?” I asked as I equally stood up. I couldn’t understand it no matter how much I thought about it. I thought she was still mad at me about the time I hurt her with my words because of Bianca. She hadn’t spoken about i

Vehicles were barred from using the route the vehicles will take temporarily. Chairman Zen who was doing a joint motor testing with William Group sat under the canopy that has been kept aside for the respectable men and engineers that would be present.

WRITER’S POV“Chairman! Look, look! our motor is leading the race...our motor is leading Zen motors...” Director Mason expressed in shock as he scrambled to his feet. Most of the board members jumped to their feet in shock to clearly see what had just happened.“This is incredible, no, unbelievable...” One of the board members of Williams Group muttered. He was one of the few that never supported the appointment of Lawrence as a director in Williams Group, one of Olivers’ men. But in the spur of the moment, he had forgotten about his hatred for Lawrence and marveled at what he had managed to pull off...beating Chairman Zen.Mrs Williams grinned and faced her husband. “Honey, our son did it...” It was the first time in history that Williams Motors ever surpassed, no, any Motor company in the country ever surpassed Zen Motors in speed.Chairman Williams looked towards the side Chairman Zen and his people sat.

Arranged Marriage to the Playboy Heir TWO HEARTS MADE ONE: ARRANGED MARRIAGE
WRITER'S POV “Here! Taste this, you will like it,” Tracey offered. Veronica opened her mouth wide and she threw in some sandwiches. “You two don't eat it all without us!” Elsie yelled behind them from the canopy shed. “I thought you wanted to maintain this figure for your fans?” Gail asked Elsie. “So what? I am allowed to add a few pounds,” Elsie retorted. “Then your fans will be mad and unfollow you.” “Hey! How can you say that!” Elsie fumed. “Oh-oh. Is that an angry bird?” Gail taunted. In a sweep, she took to her heels knowing exactly what was coming next. As expected Elsie chased after her threatening to kill her if she caught her. Veronica and Tracey exchanged looks and busted into laughter. When Tracey's phone rang, she stepped aside to take her call. “I will be back,” she flashed Veronica a smile before stepping aside. Veronica closed her eyes, drinking in the freshness of the gentle breeze. She had reconciled with her friends and they were cooler and clo
Arranged Marriage to the Playboy Heir REWARD
WRITER'S POVLANDE BUILDING AND CONSTRUCTIONDIRECTOR CHARLEY OFFICECharley closed up the file he was working on, stood and walked to the wooden coat rack. He retrieved his coat and slung his arms into it. A glance at his wristwatch confirmed Benita was already on her way. He didn't want to keep her waiting for long. If his plan was going to work, then he must show the gentleman side of him. That wouldn't need him breaking a lot of sweat. He smirked, stepping away from the rack. There was a bit of a ruffle outside his door which stopped a moment later. The next second, the door flung open and a figure barged in much to his. “Hello old friend. This is where you have been hiding your sinful self the whole time. Not bad.”Charley tried to be calm. “What are you doing here…how do you know I was here?”“Well, don't be so surprised now. You know getting information like this is like a walk in the park for someone like me,” Lawrence smirked, “Director Charley, have a seat. Let's have
Arranged Marriage to the Playboy Heir A BROKEN HEART AND RECONCILIATION
WRITER'S POV“There you are…” He breathed in relief.She was seated in a seat and writing inside a notepad, her suitcase beside her. Was she parking or unparking?She looked up when she saw him. “You are back.”He stepped inside, eyes glued to her. He had a lot to say to her but seeing her had his words sinking right back into his stomach. “Uhm, come, there's something I need us to do,” he finally said. She got up. “What is it?” “Outside.”With the flowers tucked behind him, he stepped aside and motioned for her to step out first. Reluctantly, she started out of her room wondering what it was he wanted to show her. “Come in now.”Lawyer Steve entered. “Do you remember him?”Veronica tried to think. Lawyer Steve’s face struck a faintly familiar face to her. But she couldn't fully grasp where she had met him. But it soon began to click. “Wait… that lawyer…”Lawyer Steve grinned pleased that she finally remembered him. “But what is he doing here?” She asked. “Well, I am here

WRITER'S POV“Hello, Uncles.”Jack Williams and Noah Williams turned. “I must be seeing wrong. Isn't this our dear nephew, Noah?” Jack Williams and Noah Williams exchanged astonished looks which quickly morphed into an unpleasant one. “What brings our dearest nephew to a place like this?”“Beats me. His name and pictures are all over the media. He is at a risk of losing his position in the group but he chose to come here instead,” Jack sneered. He looked up at Lawrence. “Are you sure you are at the right place?” Lawrence chuckled. He drew out a seat from an empty table which he pulled to his uncles’ table and sat down. “Well, it hasn't been easy for me these past days, no thanks to someone,” he stated calmly as he poured himself a drink.Both Noah and Jack Williams exchanged another look and busted into laughter.“But, don't you think you are being rude right now? There are empty tables. What makes you think you can sit at the same table with us? Your mother truly didn't teach you

WRITER'S POV“Should I take you back to the house or to the office, sir?”“No, we just got started. I should see my Uncles. Find out where they are right now.”“Sir?” Jessie blurted in shock. “Hurry up Jessie. We don't have time.”“Yes sir.” Jessie made a call to both Noah and Jack's secretaries and they confirmed the two weren't in office.When he called their homes, it turned out they weren't home either. “They are not home either,” Jessie reported. Lawrence's eyes crinkled into a pleased glint. “This is good,” he breathed, “I think I have an idea where they might be,” he smirked and got into the car. Minutes later, they stopped in front of a bar. “Chad exotic.” Jessie mumbled out loud. He frowned and looked at his boss. Surely he had made a mistake. Chad Exotic, a known average bar that could be likened to be a dangerous place for anyone in the category of weak to be in. Drug use, gambling, illegal business exchanges and illegal partnership happened to be the major activi
Arranged Marriage to the Playboy Heir A CHANCE FOR REMEDY
WRITER'S POV“Lawrence… you are here. “ Bianca gasped. Carefully, she lowered her sleeping child into the cradle, ran to Lawrence and embraced him. “I knew you would come. No matter how mad you must have been about what I did, I knew you loved me and still…”Lawrence jerked off her body. The fact that she was still disillusioned irritated him. She reached forward and grabbed his hands. Tears clouded her eyes. “You know, everything I did was because I loved you. I couldn't bear to live without you. I regretted hurting you and I wanted to make amends.”He sneered. “Love me? What a load of crap.” Then snatched his hands away. “I swear it. I really loved you…no, I really love you even this moment, Lawrence.”“Unfortunately I am in love with another person now. Save your love.”“That bitch?” “Watch your mouth now. I ain't here to chit chat with you,” he warned sternly. She stepped back, disappointed. “Why have you come then? To mock me? After filing a lawsuit against me? I know you
Arranged Marriage to the Playboy Heir FINDING CHARLEY
LAWRENCE'S POVI didn't know it was going to hurt that much… hearing Veronica agree with father's suggestion of us breaking up. Had she felt nothing for me this whole time? Does she not see how crazy she has made me? She had changed me and now she wanted things to end between us. The torture was too much. My heart twisted painfully. I watched her until she got into her room. I was confused, scared and worried. I had failed my parents and wanted to make things right again in whatever way. But losing Veronica? That was never part of my plans.I couldn't lose her now just when my innocence has been proved that I never got Bianca pregnant. I wanted her. I wanted to be with her. I wanted to tell her how much I missed her while she was away and how much I wanted the truth to be out sop I will be with her. “Charley… that bastard…”I took out my phone and called Jessie. “Invite a reporter over to the house.”I told him then I got into my car and drove off. “Jeez man! You look a mess!”Ca
Arranged Marriage to the Playboy Heir THE SUGGESTION
VERONICA'S POVAfter Chairman Williams and his wife left, I slumped into the seat. I couldn't breathe. In the last minutes, I couldn't breathe. I had always imagined this day. I did but I never imagined my heart feeling this wrenched. I stared at Lawrence. He was up on his feet looking at the window almost restlessly. What was going on in his head?I wondered why he never told me he found out the child wasn't his. Was he ever going to tell me if this didn't happen?Perhaps he never would have. Perhaps he had gotten comfortable with his ex-girlfriend while I was away. I felt my throat dry and ended up swallowing hard, burning my throat in the process. “Sir, the reporters are headed here. They have gotten a wind of your residence,”Jessie announced. Lawrence let out a frustrated sigh. “We have to leave now. The reporters will soon flood here,” he told me. “I will pick a few of my things,” I said as I stood up and went into my room. On my way out I heard Jessie telling him the rep

Veronica rushed over to her side. “Mother…ma'am, is everything alright? Are you okay?”“How can I be okay? How can I be alright? Where is Lawrence!” Mrs Williams growled. “Take, have a look.”Veronica collected her phone and the news flashed before her eyes. She gasped.It's over. It's really over. Shit… this is all messed up.She looked at Bianca who had quickly gotten onto the Internet. With the smirk on her face, Veronica could tell she had seen the news. “What am I going to do?” Mrs Williams stood, panicking. She already knew what his husband's brothers would be planning. Her phone rang nonstop. When it wasn't ringing, it was beeping indicating the entrance of messages. “Whoever did this…I have you to thank.” Bianca smirked. The news about her and Lawrence was all over t
