Arranged Marriage to the Playboy Heir MEETING HER EX
VERONICA’S POV“Us?” I muttered, feeling my brows knit together in confusion.“Happy new year.”Happy new year? My eyes twitched and then went almost wide the next second.“Urh, I didn’t realize it was the new year already...” I mumbled.Lawrence almost laughed but stifled it back.I had always known today was supposed to be new year, I had heard the workers repeat it severally at work, even heard them plan parties ahead, heard mother remind me of it a couple of times but when the day finally reached, it totally skipped my mind. Maybe that was why mother had called.“So, in effect to that, my parents are holding a family get party...more like a family get together and we are invited, of course,” Lawrence said. “It’s like a normal thing for my parents...so...” He explained further seeing my hesitation.I looked at him before I inhaled deeply. it wasn’t as though I had a choice.

VERONICA’S POV“What do you want from me, Vincent?” I asked pushing down the bile that was already rising inside of me slowly.Vincent stared at me. Then he said, “I want us back... I want us back together. I missed you, Veronica. I miss us... I know I made mistakes but I really want you back, I swear.”I was numb. It felt like a bomb had gone off in my chest and then the loud banging sound had reverberated in my ear. And even when I was sure I had heard the clattering of something in the table behind us and the waitress serving the coffee, I couldn’t actually tell how it had all happened.“What did you just say?”I felt my heart race. Surely it wouldn’t be because I was happy to hear that my ex wants me back.“I know you are mad at me right now but the truth is that I haven’t been able to forget you all these whiles, Veronica. I thought of you every single day and every single time. I regretted my actions...I have regretted breaking up with you every single moment ever since you left

To see how miserable my life is? Huh? Ah, I guess to see for yourself what great man I had come to see...”“Vero...” he called, almost in whispers. The flesh of his face folded into lines, lines of both worry and disbelief.“Why? Are you disappointed? Yes, that’s my ex... he is just like any other man...after all you men are all the same. Why did you have to follow me?! why! Why!” She yelled, feeling her body vibrate and her voice shake.Veronica couldn’t bring herself to agree with the fact that Lawrence had not only witnessed everything that happened but also saved her.Why did it have to be him? Why did he have to do something that will make her keep thinking of him when she shouldn’t?She turned away from him, sniffing back the tears that almost d

Lawrence felt his heart ache, as if it had been pierced a thousand and one places at once. He knew he would go crazy if she wasn’t there with him. His calmness, his ability to still breath was because she saw her face every morning. It was because he felt her scent around him.She wanted to leave. Away from him, away from the excruciating hurt her heart felt. Yet as she looked at him, the words well formed in her head ready to be slapped to his face, she hesitated. She couldn’t bring herself to tell him, those words.And then she wondered why her heart hurt so much just by the thought of telling him th

You should have been briefed by your secretary about it,” Veronica said without glancing at him.“Oh.” Of course, his father had told him and they even had a meeting about it with some of the important figures of the Group. For a fact, his secretary had equally mentioned it to him as well. The site where Williams Group wanted to open another Williams Fashion company. He was happy about it, happy for himself and his father and for the entire Williams Group.But hearing it again suddenly made it news to him. Or was it because he just heard Veronica was going on the trip.“Do you really have to go... It can stretch into a month or more,” he said quietly.Veronica turned to f

His body knew when to wake up, at least he felt it was so the last months. But for some reason he hadn't found the chance to permanently turn it off. He blinked and rolled to the edge of the bed. And sighed. Same room and alone, again. It was already morning but for the first time in a long while, his body was reluctant to get on. Time was slower than it had ever been. It was past five months but it felt like it had been nothing short of a couple of years. Lawrence couldn't have been more certain that the universe was punishing him for his sins. Veronica was away. It was supposed to be a few months of being away but then it had stretched into more than months. He barely saw her the whole time. A few of the weekends she had dropped by but always left again. Work was going well b

As a matter of fact, it is with great pleasure that I announce to you that your wife has given birth to a baby girl. You can see both your wife and your daughter now. Congratulations.” The nurse announced with a beam. Lawrence went still. Then sighed in relief. But then the nervousness came again. Now that Bianca was safe and had delivered safely, he had suddenly developed the cold feet to do anything.

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

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

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?

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.

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.

Arranged Marriage to the Playboy Heir FINDING CHARLEY

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.

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
