Contractual Romance 1
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

S A N D YAnthony was drunk to the max and I had to deal with it. I always had to deal with it. It wasn't anything new to me.I had driven a drunk and non-stop talking Anthony in his sports car, back to his mansion. All he did was talk about the girls he danced with and the ones he took their numbers to sleep with when he wanted some fun. It was heartbreaking to hear but this was what I had to deal with when I fell for my best friend. When I pulled into his garage by the mansion, I had the help of his butler to take him up to his room. He reeked of alcohol and the thing he smoked. It was annoying to see him the way he was because it was bad for a businessman who ran part of the family business and would someday head the whole business.His parents would not be happy as always and he didn't care as usual.“I need to party again,” Anthony said in a drunk manner, pointing at the ceiling as he was laying on his large bed.“No, you won't,” I said and knelt on the floor to take off his sho

S A N D YI woke up to the feeling of a weight on my chest. I groaned and tried to move my arms but felt restricted. I opened my sleepy eyes and saw a familiar ceiling then looked downward. My eyes widened when I saw Anthony's head resting on my chest while half of his body was on mine. I gulped and stared at our position for a minute before I placed my hands on his broad shoulders. I tried to push him off me but his heavy weight was too much for me. “Anthony?” I called out in a low voice.He moaned and turned his head in the other direction. I rolled my eyes and shook his shoulders. He barely moved so I began to wiggle under him, trying to see if I could roll out but before I knew it, he woke up; his head up and eyes wide. He hissed and rolled away from my body with his hands between his head.“Shit, my head hurts,” he said to himself and groaned.I sat up and tugged the shirt downward, covering my stomach. I stared at him as he rubbed his head.“Ow,” Anthony said and dropped his ha

S A N D YI blinked once, then twice. I couldn't believe what Anthony had just said. “You have to get married and have a kid?” I asked, and he nodded.“I have to, Sandy. This is something that I did not plan on.”Laughter almost escaped my mouth. There was no way what he was saying had an ounce of truth. Before I knew it, I was laughing with my hand over my mouth while he glared at me. I continued to laugh until I had my fill.“You can stop pranking me now.”Anthony and I had days when we would joke around and I was convinced that this was one of those days. But when I saw how deep and serious his eyes were, I swallowed and cleared my throat.“Are you serious?”Anthony scoffed and went straight to the desk where he had drinks displayed. He grabbed a glass and poured himself some alcohol before chugging everything. He filled the glass again and I took that as my cue to rush over to him and grab the glass.“Stop drinking and explain what you meant.”Anthony looked stressed and restless

S A N D Y“Come again?”Did this fool just say what I heard him say?Anthony stood from the desk and approached me. He took the glass from my hand and dropped it on the desk before cupping my cheeks. He had a huge smile on his face while I was stuck in confusion.“Yes, you. You're the only person suitable for this. You are my best friend. Someone who I confide in, someone who I trust and respect. You're the only person who knows me for me and understands how important this is for me.”I flushed from his words but due to the severity of his choice, I had to focus on what he was trying to say to me.“Sandy, we can get married and still act the way we do. The only difference is that we will live under the same roof and act like married people in public. It'll be so easy in the aspect that we'll just continue our friendship with us wearing rings. We can remain the way we are without any thoughts of anything expected of any of us.”I swallowed hard and held his hands. His eyes danced aroun

S A N D YI couldn't believe I was doing this. I couldn't blame myself though because I just wanted to do this since I didn't have anything exciting in my life or the nearest future. At least, I was going to waste a few years married to my best friend. It wasn't like there would be any difference anyway. As I heard the elevator ding, signifying that it reached my stop, I pushed my body off the cold wall of the elevator and watched the doors slide open. I walked out and started making my way to the hallway on the other end of the hall. I stopped walking when I saw Anthony come out of the glass doors of the entrance to the hallway with a smile on his face. He never smiled so cheerily at work unless he just signed one of his huge deals. I continued to walk in his direction and froze when he cupped my cheeks and kissed them. He pulled me into his arms, leaving my arms stiff on my sides and my mouth open from shock.“What are you doing?” I whispered and his chest rumbled from him chuckli

S A N D Y“We started dating…uh,” I dragged on and made eye contact with a straight-faced Franklin before meeting his wife's eyes. “A month ago.”“Oh, it hasn't been that long then. But tell me more,” Eudora urged on.I had to stop myself from palming my face because I didn't exactly have anything to say and Anthony and I never planned what we were going to say. We were too busy with work to even do that. Now, I felt tied. I had to look at him for help but he was looking restless.“Actually, we dated for a month and broke up.”Eudora's face fell while her hand rested on her diamond necklace in sorrow.“You two broke up already? But…”“Yes but we're back together now,” I quickly replied and felt Anthony squeeze my thigh.“Why did you two break up?” Eudora asked with concern on her face. “Don't tell me it's because of him or what did he do?”How wonderful was it to continuously lie? My only hope was that I remember everything I had said. I cleared my throat and put up a fake look of sad

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.

Contractual Romance 54
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
Contractual Romance 53
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
Contractual Romance 52
Sandy's POVI 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
