Arranged Marriage to the Playboy Heir UNCLES' VISIT
VERONICA 13Once we got into his office and the door went shut, father walked towards the freezer, opened it and took out a bottle of water which he downed half of it. Then he walked around his desk and settled into his seat. He let out a low grunt and then slowly faced me.He stared hard at me for a few seconds.“Who is she?”I was ready for other questions but definitely not this one.“Not anyone important, father.” I said calmly.He stood from his seat, pushed his seat back and started towards me, face stiffened and gaze locked furiously on me.“You think marriage is a joke? Do you? How long do you plan on denting Williams? How long do you plan on living irresponsibly?!”He was struggling to not roar more than he was already doing. I could see it with the way his eyes shone with rage. His face spoke so many words that he didn’t say. That was father, he wasn’t one to let his anger show. Once he told me one of the virtues he knew he must acquire if he was to continue to build William

Everyone thinks I preferred to bum around and live a carefree life because I am irresponsible but no one knows my real reason for staying away from my father’s company.It didn’t need to be said directly to me but I knew the day I begin to show interest in Williams group of companies, my life would be in danger.

I must protect my life and the life of my family.“We are here, sir.” Jessie announced as he brought the car to a stop.“Oh,” I drew in a breath as his voice pulled me out of my thoughts that had momentarily wandered off. I picked my phone and stepped down from the car. A short rounded man I recognized as the director of the fashion group, suited and standing beside him two other suited men started to appr

That punk won’t pass the test...” Jack Williams laughed as he raised his glass of drink to his lips and had a sip.Both Oliver and Noah starred at him, confused.Jack laughed a bit more before he placed back his glass on the desk. He sat up, “Yes, do you not know the eyes of the board members are on him? What if he never passed their test?”“And how can we be sure he won’t pass the test?” Noah asked, paying close attention and getting deeply interested in the discussion.

VERONICA’S POV“What? Quit my work??? Are you crazy?” Vincent flared up. He probably would have shot me dead with the way his eyes glared hard at me.“No, Vincent, don’t see it that way. I mean you can always get job somewhere else, you are very good at what you do. Any hospital out there would take you....”“Enough!” He growled and I flinched.Oh shoot, I thought it was the best plan. I was going to retreat but the words of Chairman Williams charged me up again.I covered up the small distance between us and held his hands in mine. “How about working in Williams Hospital? They are the best in the country. I will...”“Yes, you will speak to your husband about it? To offer me a job in his father’s hospital?” His face contorted with contempt.“Vin...” I tried to speak but he cut me off halfway.“What am I to you right now? Your plaything? One you will push aside soon?”My shoulders dropped and my hold on him loosened. His eyes darkened, I had never seen Vincent that outraged before. Wha

VERONICA’S POVI walked into the house only to be welcomed by the presence of Lawrence’s mother. I froze in my steps, a quick swipe on my face with the back of my palm to wipe off any trace of my tears that could have remained.“There you are! Welcome home my daughter!!” She squeaked like a teenage girl in love.“How was first day at work? It was stressful right?” She made a face as if she could understand my situation. But of course she wouldn’t even if she tried. I wouldn’t have been bothered about work stress if my heart wasn’t feeling this way...would I?“Is anything wrong, my darling?” She asked.“Urh, no, of course not. I am just a little...tired.” I shook my head, cleverly masking my sad face with a forced smile.“Urh-oh, I see. Work must have been quite stressful. How about you get some wash up and come have dinner?”I nodded. Not like I would have refused and told her to get lost, anyways.“Good. Who is there?!” She called out to the servants. Two ladies came running.“Help h

She probably didn’t notice but I did.During dinner, mother had revealed one of my embarrassing moments as kid to her and together they made jest of me.After dinner, she saw mother off and when she got back in, I thought she would make fun of me with my embarrassing childhood story but instead she had climbed upstairs ignoring me where I was sitting in the sitting room.I had shrugged it off, waving it off with the feeling that she could really be stressed from work and needed to get some rest.I picked my phone and sent a message to Bianca. The thought of the sweet moment I had with her wouldn’t leave my head. Her scent was already living rent free in my head and I found myself hopelessly grinning hard at the thought of the wet kisses she had planted on my cheeks.I can’t believe this really was happening.

Seeing how scared and hopeless he had fallen when he discovered the models for the wedding dress and suit had disappeared.I know, I know how much time he had invested in the project. I heard he had to prove to his father and board how much capable he can be. Poor thing. I wonder where those darn models could be.I suggested he be the model which he agreed to after a bit of disagreement. I guess he realized how he was empty with options. This was the only chance he had left. Our best chance.He followed the dressers into one of the dressing room to get changed into the suit and the rest of the dressers was left to attend to me. I really hoped we were doing the right thing.Minutes later, Jessie briskly walked into the changing room.“Director Lawrence is wanted in the meeting room.” He said.The dressers were already in the finishing touches on my face.

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

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? There are empty tables. What makes you think you can sit at the same table with us? Your mother truly didn't teach you

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.

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!

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

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.
