Arranged Marriage to the Playboy Heir IT WAS ALL A MISTAKE 3
VERONICA’S POVAll day I waited for Lawrence to give me a call. I hated myself for it because it only ended up in getting me disappointed. At the time I had given up and only wanted to bury whatever silly thoughts I had about him to work, he showed up unannounced.I felt the butterflies in my belly leap ecstatically at the sight of him but all the pleasantness and whatever butterfly that evaded my insides soon vanished the moment I was reminded of my resolve.“Is there something you wished to say?” I asked him with a straight face.He was mute for a split second and then he said, “Urh...well, I just came to check up on you. You left quite early in the morning.”“We could have spoken at home. Why did you have to come all the way here? You must have been busy with work.” I spoke flatly, so uninterested in whatever he had to say. I bet he must have noticed it as the excitement in his tone withered.He decided to let me get back to work and let us talk at home. I mumbled a low ‘okay’ and

VERONICA’S POVMorning came slower than ever. In my side of the bed, I lay quiet and hoped even my breathing wouldn’t be heard by Lawrence. I had dozed off briefly after sobbing and woke up later in the night to find him lying beside me. I couldn’t say if he was deep in sleep or not but I felt my heart tighten seeing how quiet he lay.How much did my words hurt him?No, I shouldn’t think about that. That was for the best, Veronica, that was for the best. I had hoped it was morning but when I checked the time, it was barely midnight. That instant, I knew it was going to be one of my longest nights.I tossed and turned until it was morning before I finally fell asleep again.“Shit!” I groaned as I forced myself out of bed and dashed to have a wash.I was supposed to turn in some report to Director Liam that morning and I hadn’t even had a proper look at it. It was going to take me a couple of hours. Shoot! I knew it. I knew letting myself fall asleep when it was already morning was a

WRITER’S POVOver the next weeks, Veronica made it a duty to avoid Lawrence. She made sure to be up from sleep before he did and slept before he got back from work.Since Lawrence got quite busier at work, there wasn’t much he could do to go against Veronica’s well laid out plan.“Well, it’s for the best, I guess...” he had murmured one night when he got in from work and found her already asleep.He got out of his suit, had his bath after which he crept into his own side of the bed.The next morning, Veronica slept in unknowingly. By the time she was up, Lawrence was already out of bed.Her eyes scanned around the room in search of Lawrence.Where did he go? She wondered.After a few seconds, she shrugged and relaxed back into the bed. It wasn’t new that he always went to work on weekends.A painful feeling tugged at her chest.Last night when he got back, she was still up and scrolling through her phone but once she heard his footsteps approaching the door, she had shut her phone off

VERONICA’S POVOkay, I might be a little childish but I really had wanted something, anything at all to stop me from going over to my parents with Lawrence.Hell, Matilda is going to so taunt me and I feared what father and mother will say when they saw us. And so, I dragged my feet all through the time we prepared. But not even the heavens helped me. I knew Lawrence waited but it didn’t make me hurry up, in fact, I wished he would get mad at me for delaying and not wish to go anymore but I was shocked to my bones when he said it was alright.The way he starred at me as I walked down the stairs caused some silly butterflies dancing in my belly.But I knew better than to let him notice it.And when he walked ahead of me and held the door open for me to get in, I realized how much Lawrence had changed. It wasn’t because of the door he held open for me nor how he starred at me fixedly back inside the house, but everything about him screamed change.This new him was doing things to me. T

VERONICA’S POVLawrence and I joined the dining table.“You went up to see your room with your husband? Awn, that’s so sweet!” Mom squealed.“It’s not what you think mom.” I corrected.“How was it? Did you like her room while she was single?” Mom asked facing Lawrence.“Urh, yes, her room is beautiful and nice.” Lawrence replied.“She wasn’t always a tidy girl though. I’m glad you didn’t get to see that.” Mom added.“Mother! You don’t have to tell him that!” I cried wondering why mom had to make Lawrence hear that about me.Lawrence smiled a little but didn’t make a comment.“Alright, let’s dig in.” Father said before we began to eat.I turned to Matilda, “So, sis, how is it going with your new catch?”“Don’t call him that! He isn’t a catch. He is my crush whom I will make my man very soon.” Matilda shot at me.I giggled. “I hope it lasts this time around.” I almost said that but knew better. My sister temper wasn’t always nice.“So, Lawrence, how has it been, marrying my daughter in

VERONICA’S POVMy heart raced like it had never done before as I dashed into the house. I hurried into my room and two steps into my room, my feet turned numb. And then I stood at the spot and let my heaving chest heave.What should I do? I was still in my dazed state when a rap sounded on the door.“Veronica, please hear me out...” a raspy voice pleaded.I swallowed and faced the door.Veronica, you must choose one; open the door and talk things out with him or never open and never get the chance to hear what he had to say.Yes, I must choose either to hear what he had to say or not. I made my choice; never to hear what he had to say.“Please go away, Lawrence. Let’s not ruin things. You don’t want us ending things on a bad note.”“No, I won’t leave until you hear me out. Then, let me speak from here. You do not have to open the door but please listen to what I have to say...”I heard him say from outside the door. His voice was breathless and rushed. I literally felt the emotion i

LAWRENCE’S POVShe shut her eyes. I wasn’t expecting that. I only wanted to fix her seatbelt but seeing how innocent and pretty she looked had my little man acting up again. I felt my blood rush. I wanted to feel her lips; trail my fingers over them and kiss her badly. I was tempted to do it more than anything but I pulled myself back. I still hadn’t figured out why she was so mad about us having sex. I had no intentions of aggravating the situation.I fixed her seatbelt and relaxed back to my seat. I was still admiring her pretty face and all when she slowly opened her eyes. She was confused and when I explained to her how I fixed her seatbelt, I saw her face reddened. Then she wound down the glasses and stared out the window.Seeing how embarrassed she was made me almost giggle out but I held back myself.She is even cute when she is embarrassed...We didn’t say a word to each other afterwards. I would have tried perhaps but Veronica never spared another look my way after the incide

LAWRENCE’S POV“What child are you fuvking talking about??!”“Your child Lawrence, your child!” She retorted back at me.I looked at her. I couldn’t help but chuckle. Yes, she must be joking.“See Bianca, I understand you regret your actions towards me but you don’t have to stoop this low. I don’t appreciate jokes like this.”“I’m not joking either Lawrence. I am carrying your child!”Her words rang like a bell through my ear drums.“What did you just say?” It was until I heard this question behind me that it dawned on me Veronica was still there with me. I was weakened and felt my legs go unsteady.“Bianca this is not funny anymore. Leave my house right now...” I managed to say, barely managing to keep my anger under control. The more I saw her, the more the sight of her made me want to do something I feared I would regret.“Lawrence, what is going on here?” Veronica came forward.“I’m sorry Veronica but how about you go on, I will join you inside...” I tried to get Veronica to get o

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

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.

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

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
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.

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
