Arranged Marriage to the Playboy Heir WHERE IT STARTED
VERONICA’S POVIt was the loud sound of my phone that woke me up that morning. As I made to reach for my phone, I landed on the ground.“Ouch!” I groaned and then cussed under my breathe the next second the instant I realized I had unintentionally rolled past the edge of the sofa thinking I was in the bed.Angry, I reached for my phone and without checking the caller I quickly turned the damned thing off.Poor phone, taking in all my frustration.Who else would I possibly pour it out on if not the poor innocent phone.“Oh shit...why do I feel so tired?” I groaned as I forced myself up and back on the sofa.Events of the previous weeks came rearing up in my head. A sigh escaped my lips.It had been hell for me as a woman but for Lawrence, it was worse.Bianca was almost driving him nuts. She was on the verge of turning him into a walking corpse.She would call him when he would be at work and demand for the most impossible things with the silliest reason.Lawrence couldn’t say no. How

VERONICA’S POVLawrence’s face edged closer towards me.I felt my shoulder stiffen and my breath held.Different contrasting thoughts bombarded my head in a matter of seconds.My heart wanted him but my head wouldn’t stop reminding me of the things I knew.To push him away, or to let him...I was still going too and forth with the thoughts in my head when I felt his lips claimed mine.For a brief moment, he just pressed it against my frozen one; probably waiting for me to give him the go ahead, waiting for my response.When I didn’t move, he started to straighten up. “I’m so...”I gripped his shirt and pulled him in again, claiming his lips myself and shutting off the words that were about to come out.At first, I kissed him but stopped after a moment. I had come to my senses and was just about to utter a quick apology and hurry out. Away from him and this... silly feelings inside me. But he took the lead, with his arms circling around my waist, he kissed me silly.After some moments,

VERONICA’S POVHow long has he been there? How much did he hear?These questions wouldn’t stop running in my head.I couldn’t believe I had done that; I mean, I couldn’t believe I said those words.Maybe I should have been an actress instead of studying management back in school. It was just an acting. I was just trying to defend Lawrence from that lousy entitled bitch. He deserved that much from his wife, well, even though I wasn’t really his wife.Those were the things I kept telling myself.When I got downstairs, the screen light of my phone had just gone off indicating I just had a call or a message.I had quickly picked up my phone from the sofa in the sitting room and headed for my room at once.Once inside the room, I pulled off my robe leaving only my mini skimpy light dress on and collapsed into the bed.Back in my room, I checked the caller. I had three different callers. One was an unknown number. I frowned a bit. I hated unknown numbers calling my line and I couldn’t rack

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. I had to keep playing the good wife.“Fine, when is it? when are we supposed to be there?” I asked him.“Urh

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

WRITER’S POVAfter they walked out of the coffee shop and away from it, Veronica stopped walking abruptly and snatched her hand from Lawrence’s grip.“Oh, I’m sorry...” Lawrence apologized.She faced him squarely. “Why did you come here? 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

WRITER’S POVLawrence stared at Veronica.Please just this one time, look at me.But she didn’t look at him.Instead, she turned and started back into the house.He went after her.“Where are you going to?” he asked when he caught up with her.She looked at him.Eyes that said so many words and mouth that looked like it wanted to say so many words but never spurt anything stared at him. 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

WRITER'S POVLaurie sauntered back into the house and then Veronica’s eyes fell on Lawrence.Once their eyes met, she looked away quickly. For a split moment, she wondered for how long he had been standing there and how much he heard.Lawrence walked over to her.“Which trip was she speaking of?”“Just a work trip. 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

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!

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
