Arranged Marriage to the Playboy Heir TAKING A RISK 2
WRITER’S POVWILLIAMS GROUP MEETING ROOMSTATUS: BOARD MEMBERS MEETING IN PROGRESS.“Chairman Williams appoints Director Oliver Williams in charge of Williams Motor production,” the meeting anchor started. There was a scanty clap from some of the people in the meeting. Oliver Williams nodded towards them a thin smile. He couldn’t have been more pleased. It was a moment he had waited for.“However, while Chairman Williams has given a go ahead, all that remained is the signature of director Lawrence. Erm, Director Lawrence? Care to let the board members know what’s keeping you from leaving your signature on the project?”Okay, calm down, Lawrence. It’s now or never...Lawrence felt the gaze of almost all the men settle on him. He took silent deep breaths then he pushed the microphone to his reach and spoke into it. “Urh, forgive my reluctance on signing off on the project. However, I have my reasons.”There was a bit of murmur amongst the men.“What reasons do you have, director Lawrenc

WRITER’S POVLawrence groaned as he stretched his arms upward causing his joints and bones to crack. It was weekend and a time he was supposed to rest but of course resting wasn’t for him. He had no idea this was what he had bargained for the moment he was given the Williams Motors Project.It was already three weeks since then but it still felt like he just started and Lawrence could boldly count the number of times he had managed a good night rest. Very few. If he wasn’t inspecting the machine parts in the engine room for the new cars, he was holding meetings with different groups involved in the project. He barely had time to have a proper meal.He yawned tiredly and stood from his seat. when he glanced at the wall clock across the room, he saw it was already past midnight; exactly 1: am. He sighed as he switched off the lamp and trotted towards the bedroom, rubbing his tired eyes as he walked.Veronica was already deep asleep when he got in.He chuckled lightly despite his tired s

WRITER’S POVJust like his father said, Director Mason met Lawrence and it didn’t take a lot of time before everything was fixed. The rest of the day was as uneventful as it could be and Lawrence didn’t realize it was late in the evening until his secretary rapped on the door and walked in.“Sir, will you be spending the night here in your office? Should I get you a cup of coffee for the night?” Miss Jones asked.“No, don’t worry about the coffee. I won’t be staying here for the night.” Lawrence answered without looking up from his phone. He glanced at his golden wristwatch and continued looking into his phone. A picture of Bianca was showing in the screen. He would zoom it in and back again. He was missing her terribly. She said she will be returning soon but didn’t mention the exact day. He was dying to hold her in his arms and kiss her. If not for this project, he would have booked the next available flight and went over to her. That was how much he missed and wanted her.Miss jone

LAWRENCE’S POVI stomped out of Charley’s house and drove speedily away.I had no idea where I was going to but I just drove because that was all I could do at that moment. That was all my wrenched heart could do.I didn’t know how long I drove and honestly I didn’t care if only it would push away the images of what I just saw permanently out of my head.But after what seemed like hours, I found myself in front of one of the night clubs I had visited in the past. Heartbroken then, I had come alone to it the first time Bianca had rejected my love and drank myself to stupor.Despite myself, I couldn’t help but chuckle painfully. What are the odds that I find himself in front of the same club...same throbbing feeling in my heart, caused by the same person but for different reasons?I unhooked my seatbelt and dragged myself into the club. The noise from the club drowned me in the moment I stepped in. My eyes darted the large hall filled with people dancing and drinking happily at one end

VERONICA’S POV“Where are you right now?”I briefly removed my phone from ear, peered at the caller identity again before I put the phone back in my ear.“Home,” I replied.“Check the internet.”“Urhm, why?” I asked but the line had already beeped and went dead.I frowned in confusion.“That was weird...”I murmured to myself and for a moment I pondered on what just happened.Chairman Williams calling me himself, not through his wife nor Director Mason or even through his son but by himself. The most surprising thing of all, asking me to check the internet.Wow! Since when did we get that close? If he wanted to check the internet, he could have asked his secretary or something, why ask me.To think he didn’t even mention why he asked me to check the internet. Was he always this rude? How could he hang up after saying all he wanted to say and didn’t care about what I had to say...Mtsw, I must have been deceived at first when I thought he was cool.I casted a look at the bunch of files

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

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

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

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.
