Pierre arrived at the company’s building and opened the door to the backseat. I stepped out and hurried off into the building and headed straight for the meeting room where the board meeting was about to be held.

“Thank you all for gathering for this emergency meeting at such short notice. As you all know, recent developments have prompted this meeting,” Tom said and took his seat at the center of the table.

“Developments, Uncle Tom? Or should I say a well-planned crisis” I asked as I opened the door and walked into the office.

All eyes were fixated on me, some of the board directors who had been bribed by Uncle Tom couldn’t maintain proper eye contact with me as they didn’t expect me to come over so soon.

“Bran, let’s maintain a proper understanding as the purpose of this meeting is to decide on the future of this company,” he said.

“There are questionable decisions and potential risks that have emerged under your tenure Mr Garner,” one of the directors said as he gestured towards

  • CHASING HIS CONTRACT WIFE   CHAPER ONE

    SOPHIA'S POV "You did what?" My voice trembled as I stared at the man I called my father; the walls of his office seemed to close in as he refused to look up at me."It was a bad business deal, I had no idea it would lead us here; I didn't know it was a scam." He said, bending his head.If I had not known him better, I would have believed he was genuinely remorseful, this had been the drill for the longest time."Dad, you gambled away a business the whole family has been depending on. This is not even the first time you're doing this. How could you continue even after we almost lost everything the last time?" I said trying to control my voice out of respect."It wasn't supposed to end like this, It seemed a fair deal, the benefits were mouth watering –" "I can't believe you would do this. You even used my shop as collateral, you know how things have been for me, and you still want to take everything from me?" I asked, tears rolling down my cheeks.I had woken up

He said, his face stoic, he signalled his secretary to leave.I had ran all the way to his office, my anger seething, I didn't know what I was going to do when I got here but I knew I wouldn't leave till he took back his deal."There's nothing good about this meeting Bran, what was that rubbish you did with my father? How could you go so low?" I asked, my body shaking with rage.He looked at me without saying anything, his expression bored."He told you? I didn't expect it to be this fast." He said and continued rubbing his chin."Huh?" I asked not believing he would keep my father in a

    CHAPTER 3 Sophia's POV "Here comes the bride."I heard the announcer say and almost immediately, the large door to the hall flew open revealing guests and cameras flashing at me, I swallowed my saliva to calm my nerves.I held the wedding dress that had suddenly be become tighter as I marched inside, focusing on the man who was soon to announced as my husband.Each painful step in the awfully tight shoe that would have been my perfect size any other day, brought me closer to what would be my fate for the next one year."Sophia, you look beautiful." My father said as he extended his arm for me to curl mine in "he's not going to hurt you, I've started working on getting everything back, as soon as it clicks, you'll leave there."I nodded.That was the only thing I could do, I didn't know how to process everything, some days back, I would have been in my little Shop, doing what I enjoyed doing but here I am, walking to sign my freedom over to a man whose name once ha

    Bran's POVI watched as she danced with her father and few other guest, I knew she was trying her best to look like the happy bride, but she was failing woefully at it.Her back was hunched, her dance steps were lazy and she still carried that sad expression on her face."I honestly thought you were joking about marrying Sophia, turns out it is serious, how did you get her into agreeing to this after so many years?" Ken my best friend asked as he took his spot, next to me."Man, I honestly don't know how I did it but it worked." I said and continued looking at her."She's all grown now, although she still scares me but she's more beautiful now." "That's my wife man." I said swatting his arm."My apologies." He said mock bowing.He was right, Sophia Tyler was the scariest 19 year old I had ever met, she feisty and I wondered were all that went.We had met when her father's business was doing really well and he had not started his gambling habit, he supplied my own f

    Sophia's POV First we had to share a room and now, I get to see him shirtless everywhere I turn.He sat there on his phone, his full chest open for the world to see, it irked me."Can you try putting a shirt on? I'm not a fan of your nudity." I said sitting on the couch."Sorry." He said and pulled a shirt over his head.I was tired, tired because last night, I could barely sleep knowing he was sleeping some distance away from me."What do you want to do today dear wife?" He asked smirking."I'm not your wife, not here when I'm alone with you, the earlier you stop playing around the better, this isn't funny and it wouldn't be for the next one year.""Okay, we have an interview by 10AM, I'll send the driver to pick you up, make sure you're ready before then." He said and walked out of the room."Make sure you're ready before then." I mimicked him.He was bossy, too bossy for someone who went on his knees and begged me to marry him.I sat down on the bed, my mind goin

    I clenched my left hand against my dress after I dropped the call with my dad. Bran had already stepped out of the car and I stepped out of the car too, in quite a hurry to get an answer from him on why he tricked me and my dad into giving up the rights to our company. “Bran!” I yelled out as I walked over to where he was, all fueled up and ready to demand an answer immediately. He suddenly turned and pulled me by the waist, closer to himself and whispered into my ear.“Shhh, remember we have an interview and an image to put up for the media,” Bran said, determined. “You tricked me and my father!” I said through my teeth immediately with anger but in a low tone as I struggled to break away from his firm grip on my waist but failed.“Remember, your family’s reputation is in my hands so stick to the plan,” Bran said and released me from his grasp. I quickly found my balance and adjusted my dress as the lady who was to interview us walked up to us with a broad smile on her face. “Mr

    I came out of the bathroom dressed in my two-piece nightwear as I was done washing up. I dried my hair with a white towel and approached the bed when Bran walked into the room.“What are you still doing here?” I paused what I was doing and asked.“If I recollect, we are still a married couple, so this is also my room. We shared this room on our wedding night, remember” Bran said and found his way into the bed. I stood there, the towel still in my hands.“Well not anymore…..Us being married doesn’t mean we have to share a room or a bed”.“Well that wasn’t included in the contract, we get to share a bed and a room,” Bran said and adjusted the duvet on himself. “Fine! You can have the bed and the room, I’ll have the couch downstairs. I won’t bend to the things you want” I said, grabbed a pillow and stormed downstairs. Bran sat up on the bed almost immediately after I left the room, a sudden wave of remorse weighed down on his face. I finally got downstairs and realized that it was a

    “Ah, there they are,” Tom said as we both came down the stairs, as a lovely couple. Bran took his seat at the table and I sat next to him while Tom sat opposite us. “I am still quite surprised that you two ended up getting married. If I recall correctly, you both faced a difficult issue years back,” Tom said, pretentiously concerned.“It was not quite difficult enough to put an end to the love we have for each other Uncle Tom, the past shouldn’t matter but the future,” Bran said and caressed my hand gently and I smiled back. “You’re right, I was just being concerned about Sophia ... you know she had it worse during that time” Tom continued. Bran quickly glanced at me and hoped what his uncle said didn’t trigger me to act out. “Thank you for the concern Tom, but I can tell you that we have resolved those differences and now I hope to create a future with Bran,” I said and smiled at Bran as he smiled back, satisfied with my response. “Well, I wouldn’t press further if you feel so.

    I blinked and I was brought back to reality, when I heard my father call, I had imagined that I had given that angry response to what my dad said. “Sophia?” he called out. “Dad, I am the one married to Bran, I alone know how best I can handle myself being there with him”.“I disagree, you and Bran have had history once and I just wouldn't want you going through that again”.“Is that really what this is about?” I asked.“Of course Sophia, I wouldn't do anything to harm you would I? .“If Henna’s mom was alive, would you have married my mom and had me?” I asked.“Regardless of whom I married first or second, you both are my daughters and I care about you both”.“But don't you think you care for Henna more and take her opinions seriously?” I asked.“That's not true,” he said and caressed my hand.“Then why come force me to give in to her request of moving into my home for supposed safety reasons?” I asked. My Dad suddenly took away his hands from mine and looked away slowly. “I get i
