Sandy's POVThe wave of fear that went through me made my body begin to shake and my heart pound hard. Before me was one of the group of people who had a problem with the company and did everything to attack, mob, or protest violently. The venom in the eyes of the woman standing before me and the way her body was poised as if she wanted to pull something out of her sweatshirt made me scared. When I looked at the driver, I saw that his face was red and I knew whatever she had wanted to pour on me was harmful.Hurried and rushed footsteps filled my ears and through the fear in my eyes, I watched as security stunned the woman with a stun gun until she fell to the ground, shaking and grunting. I pressed my back against the body of the car and kept my eyes on the woman, hoping that she wouldn't strike again."Sandy!"I felt warm hands on my cheeks and was forced to look sideways. I blinked and made eye contact with Anthony whose face was masked with concern. He pulled me into his arms and
I smiled. "You? Cook?"Even though his words made me feel butterflies in my tummy, it was also funny. In the sense that, I have barely eaten what he has cooked or made before. "Don't tease me, Sandy. I can cook." He poked my forehead. "And I want you to feel comfortable tonight, seeing that you may still be in shock from what happened today."The memory of the attempted attack on me flashed in my head. I sighed and nodded in response."I'm kinda still in shock… a little. I mean, I'm used to this band of people making viral posts of how you're this and that, how the company is this and that but it's different when they come to us and attack us."Anthony cupped my cheeks and drew his body close to mine, making me feel the warmth of his skin through our clothes. He smiled softly at me and traced his gaze around my face."I'm going to make sure that she pays for trying to hurt you. I will deal with anyone who even thinks of hurting you." He kissed my forehead and stepped away, leaving me
I woke up to the sound of my phone’s alarm ringing, making me groan and turn on the bed I was on. My body felt different only to remember that I was not in my house nor in my bed but at Anthony’s place. It wasn’t as if I wasn’t used to sleeping over but the fact that I was finally living with him. It made me feel different and nervous. I never sat down and thought of our living arrangements when we get married. Would we sleep in one room or stay separately? It made me self-conscious for some seconds before I shook my head and grabbed my phone. I turned off the alarm and laid on my back to stare at the ceiling.My thoughts began to drift back to what had happened last night. The way Anthony had teased me with the piece of chicken and how he had left my body feeling turned on and the spot between my legs throbbing. Things would be even harder now that I was living under the same roof with him.Just thinking about how enticing Anthony had looked and how he had stood between my legs, rubb
Anthony’s POVAfter spending a good amount of time in the shower, enough to dispel the thoughts of best friend, I quickly wore my clothes and picked my work bag before rushing out of the room. I had an important meeting with some new investors, and I couldn’t afford to be late.I struggled with my tie in one hand and my bag in the other as I rushed through the hallway that as soon as I made a turn in the curve of the hallway, I almost bumped into Sandy. The first thing I noticed was that she was dressed in her usual work outfit; long pencil skirt and a top. I blinked at her and opened my mouth to protest, instead she wagged her finger at me.“Not now, Anthony. I really want to go to work. I won’t feel good idling around. Besides, people at work will most likely think I have too much privilege.” She smiled up at me and I rolled my eyes.“Sandy, they already know that you are my girlfriend. What will they say that I haven’t heard? I just don’t want anyone hurting you again,” I said with
Sandy's POV It hurt. It hurt so much. I hated how I allowed myself to get hurt over the fact that I saw one of Anthony’s lovers. I was supposed to be used to the fact that they were always around him but as long as I still was in love with Anthony, I would always feel jealous and angry within me. The girl was everything Anthony wanted in a woman. She was beautiful, even I who barely felt insecure about myself, suddenly felt insecurities. Her long hair, toned body and nice smile was enough to make Anthony see me as someone not even an inch of who the woman was. I started to regret not arguing with Anthony about the second rule. I knew the day would come when he would bring his lover home or at least be with her somewhere away from home just to get a fill of his sexual needs. I knew that we would never sleep with each other when there are means of me getting pregnant without me sleeping with him. I bit my lip and shut my eyes tight against the pang in my heart. I bowed my head and cu
Sandy’s POVAfter work, I rushed home with the thoughts of an hour ago in my head, how Anthony had been so close to kissing me. I was still feeling the sting of what happened and how he would never return my feelings. As far as he was clueless, I was only going to get hurt, especially seeing that I agreed to pretend to date and marry him just for the sake of his family business. It was foolish of me to accept this, but I was only helping him for just a few years and after that, I was going to move on. That is, if I don’t move on before the end of the marriage.I sighed as I walked into the house. I saw Gina flipping through a magazine in the living room and I smiled when she looked at me.“Your home early,” she said and dropped the magazine.I nodded and closed in on her before sitting beside her on the couch. I leaned against the couch and hummed.“Yes… and that is because I have a date tonight,” I said, and Gina sat up in surprise.“A date?” She smiled. “With Anthony?”I scoffed and
Sandy’s POVI woke up the next morning with a gasp when I realized I may have slept in a bit. My heart was pounding so hard. I got up and snatched my phone from the side table and sighed in relief when I saw I still had some time left. I ran my fingers through my hair and scrolled through my phone for any message from Anthony… Weird. He always left me a morning message, even if it had to do with work. My eyebrows furrowed as I wondered why he had not sent me a message, or even an email.“Maybe there is nothing important today. Besides, I don’t think I’m in the mood to entertain him today. Pfft.”I got out of bed and went over to my closet. I took out my work clothes and every other thing I wanted. After I was done, I left the room and entered the bathroom in the hallway. I quickly took off my clothes and turned on the shower, then waited for the hot water to flow. As I crossed over to the sink to brush my teeth, the same ache hit my abdomen. I hissed and leaned against the sink then p
Sandy’s POVThe wave of awareness dawned on me, and a weightless feeling made me confused as I opened my eyes, which I shut the moment a bright light flashed in my eyes. I waited for some seconds before I opened them again. I blinked and stared at the white ceiling with its ceiling fan, twirling slowly. The room was unfamiliar and to understand where I was, I looked to the side, and I saw a wide window showing me the daytime brightness and buildings close by and in the distance.I looked to the other side and realized from the IV pole and bag, the small wardrobe across the room, the leather couches close by and the large TV screen on the wall, that I was in a hospital. I looked down at my body and saw I was laying on a large hospital bed.I knew what hospital I was in just by the style of the room. This was Anthony’s family hospital, and I was in one of the VIP rooms. I heard a shuffle, and I glanced in the direction of the noise. Anthony was sitting up from a lounge-like couch, rubbi
Sandy’s POVMy back had a tingling sensation as well as goosebumps rising on it, forcing sleep away from my body and mind. I opened my eyes and blinked when my eyes were blurry. The first thing I saw was the glass double doors open, making the breeze flow into the room. I could hear the crashing of waves and seagulls. I shivered when a strong gust of breeze blew into the room. It was time to get up.I took in a deep breath then yawned before raising my head. I narrowed my gaze and looked around the room then checked the other side of the bed. There were no signs of Anthony, which made me wonder where he was and how long I have been asleep since it looked like the sun was high in the sky.I laid my head back on the pillow, staring out the door. As I stared, my thoughts drifted to last night’s event. Anthony and I had slept with each other. Not once but three times until dawn. Just thinking of it made my heart flutter and my body to feel giddy.Sleeping with Anthony felt like heaven. He
Anthony’s POVMy body needed her.Something hot and primal in me needed to claim her as mine at her words. She wanted me to make love to her and I was going to. My heart was on fire with so much emotion that my stomach felt funny. What was she doing to me that had me feeling this way? Every other woman I have brought to my bed never made me feel this way and as foreign as the feeling was, I loved it and craved more.“Please, Anthony… Make love to me,” she said breathlessly against my mouth.To give my baby what she wanted, I smirked and moved away to take off my pants. Once they were off my legs, I sighed in relief. My cock had been straining so badly in my pants and now that it stood stiff and erect in the air, I was feeling better. Additionally, my cock has never felt this hard and good before. Only Sandy could do this to my body, and I wanted more from her.I wrapped my hand around my cock and stroked a little to relieve tension while looking down at my perfect princess. She looked
Sandy’s POVI was standing in the bathroom, wearing only the lingerie piece Gina had put in my bags. I was not surprised at how revealing the lingerie was even with the lace covering my bits. I was anxious as I stared at my reflection in the mirror as today was the day I was going to have sex with Anthony. I have always wanted this. I always dreamt of this happening and it was finally happening.I peeped at the time on my phone screen and realized that I had been in the bathroom for almost twenty minutes. I did not want to give Anthony the impression that I was giving up so I quickly grabbed the silk robe and put it on. I grabbed my hair brush then brushed out any wrinkles that may have formed even after I spent minutes brushing it out. Once I was done, I took a long, deep breath and made my way to the door of the bathroom.This was finally happening. The moment I stepped out of here, everything was going to change.I opened the door and kept my eyes on the floor as I was worried abou
Anthony’s POVFuck.Ever since I tasted her lips, I could not stop thinking of them and how I wanted to keep kissing her. It felt wrong. It felt like a sin to kiss her for pleasure when I knew our relationship was fake but I could not stop myself from wanting it.Also, the fact that she wanted me to be her first and to be the mother of our child did something to me. I didn’t know what but I loved it. My body loved the feeling it was experiencing and I wanted more.With the pull of greediness in me, I cupped her face and angled my head then deepened the kiss. I wanted to feel the insides of her mouth so badly. I could not help but run my tongue against her lips, begging for entrance and when she gasped, it was as if I got my senses back.Abruptly, I pulled away and moved away from her while rubbing my lips. Fuck. I forgot myself. All I asked for was a kiss, not a full blown make out session. I needed to remember that she was still a friend and doing things outside of our arrangement fe
Sandy’s POVI had been bold.Infact, I was going crazy. I had to be out of my mind because the bold step I took into telling Anthony that I wanted us to go on the honeymoon and consummate our wedding was crazy. Now, I was nervous from what happened minutes ago.The wedding was about to end and I was getting nervous about what was going to happen at our honeymoon. It did not help that my mind was still flooded with our kiss and how he has been looking at me ever since we had the discussion. Every corner Anthony was, he would always look at me with a look so dark that it made goosebumps rise on my skin. I didn’t want to delude myself into thinking that he was looking at me with lust in his eyes because I knew he was just looking to make sure I was still certain.This marriage was a lavender marriage but without the gay part involved or more like a marriage of convenience but I was beginning to pray that our marriage led to something more.“Hey.”I almost dropped my water when I heard so
Anthony’s POVMy mother was lying and trying to manipulate us. Something was not right.“H-How.”I stared right into her eyes, digging deep into her mind to see what exactly was going on and the fact that she was suddenly saying this out of nowhere.“Come with me, you two,” she said and walked away.I exchanged glances with Sandy and shifted my gaze to my mother walking. I sighed and motioned for Sandy to start walking. Together, we made our way to where she was standing, waiting with a glass of wine in her hand. Once we arrived, she smiled at us and looked at me, expression switching to seriousness.“Look, a lot is going on behind the scenes and you already know how important the family business is to your father. It took me a while to beg him to step down for his COO to take the seat as the current ceo. The man is getting old and as you already are aware, your father wants someone competent to take over. I do not know what he sees in the man, Trent Flintwood but all I am trying to s
Sandy’s POVAnthony was kissing me!He was kissing me on the lips!My whole body was on fire from the way his lips were moving on mine, making me go crazy because he was finally kissing me. For years, I fantasized about his lips and now, he was kissing the goosebumps out of me.I could not help but to kiss him back, putting every emotion I held for him into the kiss and when he held my hips and pulled me closer to his body, I felt my body ignite even more. I placed my hands on his chest and tilted my head sideways, deepening the kiss. Just as I was about to open my mouth for him when his tongue asked for entrance, I heard someone clear their throat.It was as if I remembered where I was and pulled away at the same time he did. I became shy when I heard the loud noises coming from the crowd watching us and looked down, trying not to also look Anthony in the face.Anthony held my hand and turned me with him, so we were facing the crowd. I took a deep breath and raised my head with a big
Anthony’s POVI woke up to the sound of my alarm ringing— Today was the day I marry my best friend and it felt like a different person entirely. Everything around me felt as if I barely could recognize it. The atmosphere just felt different.I sat up from my bed and turned off the alarm and stared at the door of my room, head empty. After a few minutes, I blinked and got out of bed. The stylists would be arriving soon and I needed to get ready before they arrived. The wedding was going to commence in a few hours. I already knew that the world was waiting for this wedding. The attention was huge on us and I didn’t need to go online to see what was being said about me and Sandy.Sandy…Fuck. Sandy was marrying me to save me, to save my inheritance and protect me in more ways than I have ever done. It made me feel something like a flutter in my heart. This has been happening over the week. I had no idea what was going on with me but so far, I have been getting the urge to touch her, to b
Sandy’s POVEach day I woke up, I was elated, barely containing myself for the D-day. For the past few days, Gina and I have been going shopping, planning the wedding while Anthony did the same with arranging the guests for the wedding since he knew more people than me.The best part of this was the fact that the wedding was going to be the wedding I have ever dreamed about. Even though this would be a wedding for a marriage that was not real, I still wanted to experience this, especially with the man that I was in love with.Warm arms around my waist startled me out of my thoughts. I relaxed when I saw it was Anthony and put my focus back on the pictures of halls I was looking at. Choosing a wedding venue was the hardest. It was either ridiculously expensive or not just fitting what I wanted.“You’ve been standing here for a long time now. What’s wrong?” He asked against my ear, sending shivers and warmth through my body.His arms tightened around my waist and put his face in the cro
