1— The Start

Cora's POV “She ran away!” “What do you mean?” The world paused around me as I gazed at my mum. “What do you mean she ran off? I don't understand?” Confusion laced my voice as I tried to comprehend it. My sister? Ran away? For what reason? “I just said it! She fucking ran away!” Mum screamed and before I knew it, she was pacing around. “Goodness, what do I do? Oh my god, I'm so done for,” she kept mumbling around and slowly, my fist tightened. She was worried. But not for my sister. Mum didn't care enough about people to worry for her. She had done something. “What did you do to her? Why did she run away?” I screamed and turned to her. “What the hell did you do?” “There's a problem…” Mum mumbled before she settled down, worry etched on her face. “What did you do to her? What did you do?” I asked repeatedly, “it was just for two days. You were just supposed to take care of her for just two days before I get back from my trip. What went wrong?” “Marriage!” Mum suddenly

2— He's a brat

Everything was changing in a day. Life has never been funny. Just yesterday I travelled back to downtown, LA, and now I was on my way to the court house where I'd be getting married. Again. To an unknown Billionaire. Oh, Cora, how'd you even get here? I was so happy to finally see Ariana. If only I knew what awaited me was that. But even so, could I have said no? I would still have done something — especially with the situation mum got herself in. Finally, the car I was in stopped and before I could try to open it, the driver who also appeared like a bodyguard rushed to open the door to my surprise. “Be careful,” mum whispered beside me as I tried to get down the car and I rolled my eyes. The long damned yellow dress I was in made me uncomfortable. I was surprised when the dress was brought but upon thinking, I remembered there were no dress code to getting married to a courthouse. I got out and scoffed as the gown swept the floor, making me look like a princess that I wasn't.

3— Getting Wedded

Every functioning organ in me stopped working at the statement. She'd be humble. Her background? So first, they wanted a wife from a lower background because she'd take whatever they dished out to her. Humility means taking whatever was being dished out to you. That's it. Oh my god. My head spun around as my memories tried rushing back. The same cycle. Goodness, I was about to repeat the same goddamn cycle. “Calvin…” Mrs Logan stressed and hurried to us, “Why will you say that?” “Isn't it a fact?” He shook his head and rubbed his temples, “I have loads of work to attend to, do you want to get married or not?” “I will not,” my voice came out firm as my fist tightened, “Until you apologize to me. For coming late and for talking to me lowly.” At that moment, the people in the hall were staring at us and that moment, mum rushed to me. “Cora!” “Apologize to me or we won't go ahead with the wedding.” “Oh dear,” Mrs Logan forced a smile and grabbed my shoulders, “please let it slid

4— A new home

After almost an hour of driving, we were finally in front of a gigantic black gate and according to my thoughts, the gate slid open and the car drove in.Lights glimmered in my eyes immediately. The whole compound was very lighted and as the car pulled over, the guard hurried to open the car door.“Welcome to your house, ma.”“Thank you,” I returned and followed him, my eyes taking in the compound. Trees were planted scantily and apart from around 3 types of car at the right hand side, I'd have considered the compound to be empty.Who doesn't have a garden in his compound? Well, I do not blame him, his hostile look might kill off the flowers after all.“You can go in ma,” the guard's voice finally brought me out of my thoughts and I realized we were in front of a glass door already. “Lorraine will help you out.”“Thank you,” I took the two steps in front of the door before I pushed it open and at once, warmth welcomed me, much to my liking.“Oh my god, you're finally around!” An elder

5— Introduced as his wife

Calvin's POV Another day to stand in front of the media. I smacked my lips at the thought. Just like the usuals when I have an interview to attend. The only difference was, I'd be shocking them today. And putting an end to the goddamn rumours. I was one to uphold all my values. How could anyone try to bring me down by spreading false rumors? And I'd do anything to show them the rumours were fake— and which was showing my wife to the media. At that, a chuckle spread over my lips but at the clicking of shoes, my face went back to normal. A floral scented perfume filled my nostrils and raising my head, I stopped at the captivation. Gorgeous red hair curled down and reached her shoulders. What? How could a hair shine so bright? Did I… how'd I miss the colour of her hair yesterday. There Cora was. And slowly my eyes moved down her body. She wasn't putting on the red dress I got but I think I like it. Because in a small top and high waist trousers and a black jacket, she looked exactly

Chapter 6— She'll continue working

“You do not get the right to kiss me without my permission,” Calvin's irritated voice rang in my ears as soon as I closed the car door and I turned to him at once.“Really? I do not get to kiss you? Are you a God or something?” Anger laced my voice at how unbothered he stared into space. Everybody was staring.While that man, Jayden or whatever, talked, everyone had their eyes on us and were waiting to see if he was right and I did what I thought was best.But it's this man I did it for. What did I think? He was going to think he's a god.“It was stated in the contract. You don't get to touch me without my permission. Talk more about kissing me. And especially in front of the crowd.”“Understood,” I gritted and leaned into the car, “And I hope you stick to it,” and with that, I grabbed my earpods from the purse and my music accompanied me until we were homeAs soon as the car stopped in the compound, I was out. “You are here,” Lorraine smiled as soon as I entered the room and I crash

Chapter 7— About to own a company

“Ma'am, the event is about to begin,” one of the crew members told me and I smiled. I have been capturing different scenes of people happy and wishing the celebrant. My cameras were already fixed for the next event, the cake cutting.Yes, I went for the videography of the birthday message. Calvin can't control me and will never be able to. “Oh, and it's time for the celebrant to cut the cake!” A delighted MC's voice filled my ears and I smiled as I headed to the perfect spot to capture more of the scenes.The reason I was videoing the whole event was because the celebrant was a cancer patient and the fact that she gets to live another year made everyone delighted including me.That's what I love doing. It makes me happy that people are happy.“One, two, three!” The MC screamed and with the celebrant's boyfriend beside her, they cut the cake.Cheers filled the room and I smiled looking over at the other crew members. Since I don't have a crew of my own, they had to get other people to

Chapter 8— Jayden's visit

Calvin barely said a word to me in the past two days. The only thing he did was nod to my greetings. He obviously was still mad. But what could I have done?Reaching the living room, I stopped for a second as his eyes met mine before they ran on my body and I felt them linger longer on me.“Here, have it,” he stretched a paper I collected and scanning the document, my jaws dropped. What? A Company Certificate? With my name on it?Is he kidding me? How…“You—”“Sign it. After that, you can go see your company.” His lazy voice dropped and my eyes widened.“It's all set?”“All set. Now sign it.”And that moment, happiness bloomed inside of me and I hurriedly scribbled my signature down. I now own a centre? One of my dreams! It was all done, huh? That easy? Oh my god! I was a CEO!“Thank you very much!” I screamed through a smile to Calvin as I looked at him and I saw his brows raised slightly before he nodded and stood, then out of my sight.Bad. He couldn't even say anything. Who cares

Chapter 9— Ridiculous reason for the marriage

Turning to Jayden, I gazed at him like he had gone insane. “Do you realize you're talking about my husband here?” “Quit the acting Miss Cora.”“Mrs Logan.”“We both know you're fake,” Calvin straightened in his seat. “I'll give you whatever you want. 1 million? 2 million? Up to 15 million, think about it.”I wasn't sure I had ever been that irritated in my life. Coming openly to express your dislike for the person's wife was another level of courage and bitterness.Even though he thinks it's fake. That's too extreme.“I don't know what made you think that way but I love my husband, Calvin and you better bet he'd be knowing about this now.”“I don't care. Are you in or not? We'd have an agreement.”“I can never be in!” I stated and headed to the door. “Get out now Mr Jayden.” I ordered and pulled the door open for him and there my phone binged and I turned.Jayden stopped by the table and peered into my phone before he ran his eyes over me and headed towards me.“If you do not agree,

Chapter 10— Frustration

“I'm not interested in meeting with you in any way,” I texted the number in rage before I hit the block button. It was just one contract Calvin got for me, why's she so pissed about it?My phone buzzed and I reached for it hurriedly worried a number could text me even after I blocked them before I saw it was someone else. Ariana.“I'm on my way,” I screamed as I typed before rushing out of my office. It was the day of meeting her and I have been looking forward to it for days now.Reaching the parking lot, I paused. Would I be calling Brandon to take me? No. What if I have a discussion with Ariana and he hangs around to hear? I couldn't let that happen.Immediately, I was boarding a cab and minutes after I had reached the restaurant holding onto my handbag that contained the money she asked for.Not a lot.It didn't take long before I sighted my sister. At the corner of the restaurant like she'd always stay so as to avoid people.There, looking gorgeous and soft. Oh my god, I've miss
