Sandy's POV

I didn't even know when I spoke but it made them look at me. She gave me a nasty look and took a step back from Anthony who was stunned to a spot. I looked from him to her then back to him, waiting for an explanation to who she was.

"Who is this, Anthony?" She was looking at me. "I've met her before? What are you even doing here? Don't you work at that store or something?"

I was offended and this lady already ruined today for me. I didn't want to entertain her but I needed to still know who the hell she was.

"Anthony, wha–"

"Angela, what are you doing here?" He cut her off, his tone clipped.

I could sense in the tone of his voice that he was not happy about her being here. They probably have a past as Anthony never told me anything about Angela. Unless she was one of his one night stands but she had mentioned that they were supposed to get married and have kids?

"Anthony, why are you like this? You should be happy to see me," she said in a whiny tone. "Come on, let's go to

    Sandy’s POVI was so excited I wanted to scream at the top of my lungs. I knew this was fake but this was beginning to seem real to me. I was going to actually marry my best friend and he was ready to give me anything and everything to make it perfect for me. Three million dollars was too much for just planning. I didn’t know much about it but I was not sure of what it could cover.As I mulled over it, my office door opened and I looked up. Anthony walked in, smiling. I rose to my feet and I approached him.“Anthony, you… you’re serious?” I asked, not having much to say because I was still in shock.He chuckled. “Yes, Sandy. I told you I want to give you the best wedding ever. You marrying me to save me has snatched the opportunity for you to have the best wedding of your dreams, so…”He wrapped his arms around me, and I gulped. I felt my body heat up from how close we were.“I want you to get the most beautiful wedding dress in the world with the money I sent. I already told my secre

    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

    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 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.

    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.

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.

    S A N D YI woke up to the sound of my phone ringing so loud. It made me groan, hating the fact that I had to wake up, cutting my sleep short. I wanted to let the phone ring but I knew who it was from and how consistent the phone call was going to be if I don’t accept it. I opened my eyes and rolled onto my back, then sighed out loud. I groaned and looked to my side where my bedside table was. I glared at my phone that sat on the table before pushing myself toward the furniture. I grabbed my phone and laid my head on the pillow. I rolled my eyes at the caller's identity. It was my boss, also known as my high school best friend. “It’s Saturday, why the hell is he even calling me so early in the morning?” I grumbled as I stared at the ringing phone. When the call stopped, I smiled, hoping he would take that as an answer and know that I am asleep.As always, he did not stop and called again. I hissed and accepted the call.“Yes?! What it is, Anthony? Can you let me enjoy my weekend? Do

    S A N D Y“To celebrate another business deal been a success, we will go to the club,” Anthony said with a clap of his hands. I resisted the urge to roll my eyes at his words. He was always going for one party to another, to almost every club in the city. He was never tired and I was always the one left with taking care of him if he got too tired or drunk to do any work.“I’m not interested,” I said and rose from the seat I was sitting on. I grabbed the files on the desk of his house office and arranged them in a corner. “Come on, Sandy,” he pleaded and went around the desk to stand beside me. “You’re not doing anything this weekend. So, let’s have fun.”I looked at him incredulously and he smiled, blinking his eyes rapidly in a way that he used in begging me to do something for him.“Have fun? More like you having fun all night while I sit in a corner watching,” I said and walked away from the desk.I heard him follow me as I walked to the door. I held the door, ready to open it wh

    Sandy’s POVWhen I woke up the next day, the first thing I did was to raise my left hand and stare at the ring wrapped around my finger. I still could not believe that I was engaged. I was going to marry Anthony. This was getting even more real and even though none of it was real, it still made me feel like I was lucky and loved. Just the weight of the ring around my finger made me giddy and want to squeal.I became still when I heard him moving behind me on the bed, followed by a heavy sigh. I kept my gaze on my shoulder, waiting to see if he was waking up or not. I exhaled softly when he did not move again before going back to staring at the ring on my finger, only to freeze when his arm went around my waist and his bare chest pressed up against my back.I swallowed at the contact and folded my hands then stared at the window across from where I lay. My body tensed up more when his hand moved from my waist to my stomach, right under my shirt. I knew it was a habit of his but each ti

    Sandy’s POVI walked into the usual bespoke store that made Anthony’s favorite suits. Two weeks had gone by, and he was better than before which I was glad for because most of the work, I had to take care of was due to me forcing him to stay away from working. It made me understand just how hard he was working and me being his assistant did not truly understand it until these past two weeks. Today, I needed to pick up some new suits he would be wearing to resume work on Monday.When I got to the front desk, I smiled at the woman behind it.“Hi, Fiona,” I said to the woman, and she smiled back, widely.“Hey, Sandy. Came to pick up Mr. Hogan’s suits?” She asked and started typing on her computer. “It’s ready. I’ll go get it from the back.”I smiled with a nod as she walked away from her desk. I turned around and leaned against the desk. My gaze swept around the expanse of the place, taking in the racks of bespoke outfits and the large portraits of male models hanging on the wall. As I c
