S A N D Y“I know that all of this will bring so much work and stress for you but we have to talk about what we have to do to convince the media and general public about us.”I listened to his words and nodded in understanding. He was right. There were things we had to do to show them that we were together. Simply putting out a relationship and then marriage would make no sense at all.“Fine, Anthony. What do you have in mind?”Anthony smiled and rubbed his stubbled jaw as he kept on a thinking face.“We will have to go on dates. Even if it's to appear like we are on one. I know those sneaky gossip pages will have their interns on the lookout for us and we need them on our side if possible.”“But it's not every time that you're being followed by them.”Anthony sighed. “That's true and I wouldn't want to waste our time going on useless dates.”The way he phrased it made my heart sting. He saw us going on dates as useless which made me painfully remember that this man didn't see me the

I barely slept well last night as all I saw in my dreams was Anthony kissing my cheek, repeatedly. I was still stunned up until now about the sudden kiss. The way he pulled me close to his body and how warm he felt, plus the way his lips felt on my skin was something from a fever dream. I was still feeling hot from the memory of the kiss. It may not mean anything to him but it did to me.I pulled my suit jacket by the hems when the elevator stopped and the doors slid open. I stepped out and started walking, only to notice the way people stared at me and how low their voices were as they did. I bowed my head a bit to take a better look at them and strained my ears to hear what they were saying but all I got were whispers and finger points.“She's finally here!”I shook to a stop at Anthony's loud voice. I raised my head and shifted my eyes forward. There he stood with a bouquet. My heart skipped a beat and confusion followed as I tried to make out what he was planning. This fool needed

Anthony's POVI was feeling hungry from all the work I'd been doing since I arrived. It was already lunchtime and I needed a break, even if it was just five minutes before I returned to continue doing my work. Besides, the important meeting I was supposed to be having wasn't looking successful at all.I rubbed my nose and exhaled before rising. I grabbed my suit jacket from the back of my seat and slipped it on then took my phone, followed by my wallet. “I'll go check if Sandy will have lunch with me,” I said as I walked to the door. I opened it and left the office. I nodded at my secretary across the hallway and turned my body toward Sandy's office door.Before I got close, I saw something that made me stop walking. Sandy had a transparent part attached to her door which made me see the back of a man. With the way she was smiling and speaking to him, it was as if she knew him but what caught my attention was the way they were holding hands. I wasn't sure if it was a handshake but fr

Anthony's POVAs soon as I parked my car in front of the restaurant, I turned off its engine and glanced at Sandy who acted as if she didn't realize we were already at the restaurant. She was just focused on her phone, smiling at whatever was displayed on her screen.“We're here,” I announced and she just spared the restaurant a one-second glance before looking at her phone and tapping on it.“Hm,” she said.I sighed. “What's got you smiling like that?”“Oh… it's Mr. Flintwood.”At the mention of his name, my appetite left. I glared at the phone and then at her. I was trying to understand why he was making her smile the way she was doing.“What do you mean by that?” I asked and she dropped the phone. Finally.“We exchanged numbers after he left your office and we spoke before you came into my office. He's so good-looking, don't you think? He's the only handsome guy I know that works at the company.”My heart felt a sharp pain when she made mentioned him being the only handsome employe

Anthony's POVOur first date was just in a few minutes and I was nervous because I needed our plan to work and hoped that someone spotted us and took pictures. The more hours went by, the more I realized that I needed to make this plan successful enough for my father to believe in and give me my right.While I buttoned up my dress shirt, my phone lit up on the vanity before me. I stared at it and saw a pop-up message from Vanessa; one of my flings. I smirked and picked up my phone. Once the device was unlocked with my face, I read her message which was asking if we could meet and fuck as always. I was down for a night with her since I was stressed and needed sexual relief.I typed back a response that we would meet soon and hit send then finished dressing. This was the first time I was doing such a thing with my best friend and it was so awkward. Awkward in the sense that it would be difficult seeing her as nothing more than a friend. I didn't even have the guts to imagine us kissing

Anthony's POVWe were now at Subway for her to get her dose of unhealthy overseasoned food. As soon as I parked, she jumped out of the car, making me chuckle. I got out and followed her into the fast-food restaurant. The bright lights and smell of fried foods made my stomach churn but I had to hold myself from throwing up.I noticed that people were looking at us and I wouldn't blame them, we were two expensively dressed coupl— Friends walking into a cheap place. “Hi, welcome. What would you like to order?” I snapped out of my thoughts when I realized that we were at the counter. Sandy excitedly gave her order to the girl behind the counter who I noticed was eyeing me like every other woman usually did. I had to hold myself back from flirting back because of Sandy and our plan. So, to put a stop to it, I wrapped my arms around Sandy's front and kissed her cheek.“Are you sure that's all you want, baby?” I asked to the hearing of the girl.“Uh… I… Do you also want something?” Sandy a

Sandy's POVOh, my God!Anthony just kissed my neck. He pinned me to his car. He made me feel his body more than once! My heart was racing more than ever! This was not happening! It had to be a dream.This date had started with a spiral of nervousness after I wore the dress and it had been the sexiest thing I had ever put on around him. The dress had left me wondering what he would think but my heart crashed into my gut when I saw a nonchalant look on his face, even throughout dinner with him, he didn't act like I was dressed so differently around him. All he cared about was if we were being followed.Anthony hadn't said one word since we started driving home and I was in a way glad because I didn't want to say anything to embarrass myself. The only thing that filled the confinement of the car was the soft music playing on the radio.I sighed and my phone vibrated in my purse. I had a feeling it was Trent and that put a smile on my face. I could remember how charming he sounded when w

Just like every day, I was occupied with working to the point that my feet hurt from walking around and standing in meetings with Anthony. His company never had a day when no one worked tirelessly which made me wonder how no one saw Anthony as a good boss even though he hardly interacted with his staff. Even through the stress of work, some people had time to gossip and spread rumors; which was good but not at all good. There were rumors about me finally showing my true colors as a gold digger, how I have been plotting to have Anthony for myself and that I was the reason he didn't look at the single women the way they dreamt about. It irked me and made me wonder if he was aware too.Being friends with someone who was higher than me in social status and financial status was not as easy as people would think. Sometimes, the reason I hated when Anthony paid for my stuff was because of what people would think or see. Just fake-dating him brought out the worst in his staff, even from the

Sandy’s POVYesterday was a surprise for me. Anthony's sudden behavior and the sex we had was something I never imagined would happen after my heartbreak session the day before yesterday with Gina.Gina had taken me to her place and from there, we went to a club where we partied, and I drank to my heart's content. After that, everything else was blank. I barely remembered getting home. All I remembered was waking up from my painful sleep, showering and making breakfast for the both of us.The turn of events stunned me. I was confused but happy and satisfied. Something about the way we had sex felt different. He had been gentle yet rough. There was a look in his eyes when he was inside me, thrusting. His touches were softer and precise. The sex had me falling even deeper in love with him and I could not forget the way he was looking at me when I woke up to find him staring at me. It was a look I wanted from him more. The look left me feeling full in my heart and flushed.Someone cleari
Contractual Romance 80
Anthony’s POVI moaned into her mouth when she kissed me back, which sent shivers down my spine. My body had missed her touch and her lips that I could not help but kiss her more, deeper, harder and more passionately. Every part of me was awake and energized from our kiss and from the way my hands touched every part of her I could reach. When she moaned, I shuddered and felt my cock stirring in my pants. I wanted her so much it hurt. I needed to have her again, to be one with her and make my body feel on top of the world. I missed being inside of her, filling her with my cock and hearing her cries of pleasure as I made love to her.I pulled away from her lips to lift her into my arms and place her on the table in the center of the kitchen then I kissed her again. I moved my hands to the hem of her night dress then slipped my hands under it, digging my fingers into her soft thigh. I stepped between her legs and slipped my hands upward to her hips which I gripped and used in pulling her
Contractual Romance 79
Anthony’s POVI was stunned to the bones over what was just said by my drunk wife.She had to be lying or joking due to her state because what did she mean that she was madly in love with me? I could not believe what I was hearing. Sandy was not being serious. It had to be the alcohol making her say things she did not mean but people did say alcohol brought the truth out and what I just heard was sounding too good to be true.Sandy was probably not serious. We always said I love you to each other because it was a casual thing to us, and she was just saying this out of those words we playfully used to tease or to show we cared for one another.“You think I am crazy, right?” Sandy laughed then stopped. She moved away and rested on the couch.I stayed quiet as I waited to hear more. She needed to explain what she meant. I eyed her, hoping she said something to elaborate on what she meant because there was no way on God’s planet that she was in love with me. I always heard of best friends
Contractual Romance 78
Anthony’s POVThe drive home was a long one as I kept thinking back to what Trent had said to me. I never expected such a thing from him as I always saw him as some loser who was being used by my father but what I saw today made me understand that there was something even more about this guy. I didn’t know what it was but whatever he was, it was definitely something that was not good and the fact that Sandy associated herself with him made me worry. I didn’t know what his plan was, but he needed to not involve Sandy in it. She was just an innocent bystander when it came to the business.I snapped out of my deep thoughts when the driver came to a stop in front of the house. I had been so lost in my thoughts I did not know we had driven into the estate. I picked up my things then opened the back door before stepping out of the car. I shut the door and started making my way to the entrance of the house, only to slow down when the front doors opened, revealing my wife.A smile appeared on
Contractual Romance 77
Anthony’s POVI was a fool, just like how Sandy always called me, but I was a fool with a conscience and fear for the future. I was trying to act smart, to keep my mind and thoughts in check in order to avoid a huge disaster but it was beginning to look very difficult.I was already regretting making Sandy work someplace else due to the fact that she suddenly started having this glow on her that pulled me to her. I knew that other men had eyes because as we walked into the company today, I saw the way some executives looked at her and even during meetings. It irked me so bad that I almost lost it and fired them.Never did I care about how other men looked at my best friend but now that she was my wife, amongst other things that changed our relationship, it was hard not to feel a hot sensation in my chest at the thought and sight of other men eyeing her with bad thoughts swimming in their heads.I did not forget what I had seen when I stepped into her office earlier with Addison. They
Contractual Romance 76
Sandy’s POVAfter he had spoken, I was left feeling confused and conflicted. I looked from one person to another, trying to make sense of what I had just heard or if they had also heard what Anthony had just said. I looked at Trent and he was looking surprised while glancing at me. I looked at Anthony, he was not even meeting my eyes, it was as if he was avoiding me. I looked at the woman and she was simply smiling at me with innocence in her eyes, which I did not believe in.I looked at the Addison woman closely. She was just the type of woman Anthony always went for when he needed a quick fuck. She was slim with curves, long blonde hair, a pretty face with big blue eyes and a pretty smile. She was everything people and Anthony called his type, and she was going to replace me?“What do you mean?” I asked and sighed.No, I could not have this conversation with them in the room with us.I turned around and looked at Trent with a look in my eyes. I needed to speak to him alone, without
Contractual Romance 75
Sandy’s POV“I want my own room,” I announced, stopping Anthony in his tracks as he showed me the last bedroom.“Huh?” He turned around and on his face was a look of shock. “Your room? Why… I mean, we could–”I scoffed. “You told me yesterday how you want things to end and how you need things to be from now on, so tell me why we should share a room, Anthony? This marriage is a contract, isn’t it? Which means, there is no reason for us to share a room, unless we have guests sleeping over. Then we can pretend to be the happy couple that is madly in love with each other.”I wanted him to feel hurt by his stupid decision just as I was and with the flash of something in his eyes, I knew that he was, which made me very satisfied with myself.“Sandy.” He sighed and took a step toward me. “I… Okay…Fine. That will even be better because that way we can form self-control, seeing we have now had sex.”Anthony cleared his throat and turned his body away from me. He motioned at the door across the
Contractual Romance 74
Sandy’s POVBefore I could stop myself, I slapped him across the cheek, hard. My palm stung, which satisfied me. The anger burning inside me made me ignore the guilt I was feeling for hitting him. It was wrong of me to hit a person, whether man or woman but I couldn’t help it. He was hurting me, and I didn’t know what to do or how to react to what was happening.Anthony rubbed the spot where I had slapped and turned his body away. I glared at every move he made until he faced me with a softness in his eyes. I didn’t want to falter, not yet until he explained to me why he was acting this way all of a sudden.“I don’t have anything to say to you anymore, Sandy. I already told you what I wanted to do. I have been trying to summon the will to say this to you without hurting you,” he said and rubbed the red mark on his cheek. “Damn, you hit hard.”I was speechless as I replayed what he said seconds ago. He wanted us to stop something we just started. What happened to all those words he tol
Contractual Romance 73
Sandy’s POVOur honeymoon was coming to an end. After spending days, having the time of our lives, we were going back to reality, at least, that was what my brain termed it as. What Anthony and I had here was simply a fantasy. Everything that had gone on since we arrived here was all because of responsibility and our new rule in the contract binding our new lives.Once we get back, we would go back to what took most of our time. Anthony was a workaholic; he was probably going to bury himself in work while I did the same. I was nervous and worried about how our sexual relationship was going to turn out. It was a different thing when we were here and would be something that involved clarity once we got back.I dropped the magazine I was staring at when Anthony walked into the room while on a call with someone. When I heard what the conversation was about, I rolled my eyes. Of course, he was back to working even when we were leaving the hotel tomorrow. Even I, his assistant, barely knew
