2021-09-26 23:58:28I wake up to the screeching sound of my alarm.
Squinting my eyes, I turn off my alarm before stretching on the couch.
Yep, I had no option but to sleep on the couch and I see myself sleeping on this couch until next year.
Yawning, I sit up and find myself cozied up in a warm blanket.
Must've been Lorenzo.
Sometimes he's so cold but then again, he also shows that he is a human being with a beating heart.
I can never understand him.
Since Lorenzo is nowhere to be seen, I take a quick shower before changing into a nice outfit for work.
While brushing my hair, Lorenzo walks in with a towel loosely hanging from his waist and I feel myself blush a deep red.
Quickly getting my bag, I rush out to the bedroom where I had been working last night and put in my notepad and my laptop in the bag.
I slowly walk down the stairs and head for the dining room to find Lorenzo's parents and siblings having breakfast.

"Hayley, what're you doing here?" Mom said as she walked into the kitchen."Mommy and Daddy needs to fly somewhere else so I'm staying with Uncle Enzo and Aunt Nat" She answered her Grandma."Nat, do you want me to take care of her? I'm sure you have work" Mom offered."It's okay, Mom" I smiled back."Hayley, wanna go unpack while dinner is served? You still need to settle down right?" I asked and Hayley have me a heart melting eye smile.While we pack, we get along as I asked her about her hobbies, her interests and her dream."Mrs. Natalie, dinner has been served" The maid informs us and I lead Hayley to the dining room.Mrs. Natalie. So weird to hear.Lorenzo was already seated, engrossed in his phone."Uncle Enzo, you're back!" Hayley squealed."Why did your Mom drop you off?" Lorenzo groaned."Mommy and Daddy had to fly somewhere else. I'm staying with you and Aunt Natalie" Hayley said excitedly.

"Just because we're married, doesn't make us a real couple. Take it as a contract" He said in a business tone before leaving."Like I want to be with you" I muttered under my breath as my tears threatened to spill.Natalie learns that she has been promised to the eldest son of the mighty and powerful Maxfields.She has no choice but to accept reality and decides to proceed with the arranged marriage her parents and grandparents had fixed, long ago.Little did she know that she would be treated as a contract wife.--------------------------------------------------------------"You force your children to get married. Force them to fall in love as if they were key operated toys and now that they've fallen in love, you want to separate them?"

Natalie's POV"Natalie. At least eat your breakfast properly" Mom scolded as I stuffed a slice of bread with blueberry jam before running out of the front door.I woke up late and since I have to take a 20 minutes drive to my workplace, I couldn't waste time.I quickly call up one of my friend's cafe which is located on my way to the University that I work in to order my berry smoothie and a soft glazed donut.Yep, you heard me right.

I wake up with something I really hate.Swollen eyes.After taking a warm bath, I change into my outfit for the day.After a silent breakfast, I leave for the University.I'm sure Mom and Dad wanted to comfort me but they did not say a single thing neither did I."Good Morning, Miss" my students wished me in the hallway but I didn't wish back, instead I just nodded with a smile while putting my head down though I wore sunglasses.I did not want to look pathetic, at least not like this and not for a stupid reason.I make my way to my office room and sit down since I still have an hour before attending my first class.The Managing Director, Dr. Collins rushes into my room."Is there anything I can help you with, Sir?" I asked because he looked like he had seen a ghost."Yes, you need to help me with the refr

"Okay, Natalie. Go and start getting ready for tonight" Aunt Christina sent me off."It's just 1 in the afternoon. We're leaving in what? 5 hours. Don't worry. I won't take so much time in getting dressed" I assure her."Karina. We all want you to look your best" Aunt Veronica said after analyzing the situation."Natalie! We're getting late" Natasha came and pulled me away.We finally reach my room where Juli, Vinnie and Mary were already waiting for me."Now, go and take a shower" Natasha pushed me into the bathroom.I forcefully take a shower and return to find them all geared up.Juli applies a hint of nude eyeshadow, nude lipstick and mascara while I kept complaining about how much I hate makeup the whole time.Vinnie ties my hair in a sleek ponytail while Natasha and Mary helped me get into the dress, despite telling them that I could

"You?""What're you doing here?" He growled.Seeing the rage in his cold eyes, I trembled with fear. He had such a scary look."Wait, you guys know each other?" Natasha and Karen asked at the same time.By now, everyone went quiet and the atmosphere felt quite tensed up."Well, we did meet. He came to our University for a board meeting. I was with the Managing Director so he must've seen me" I quickly speak up."She was-" He spoke again.I didn't even know his full name."I'm Natalie Karina Salvatore" I extend my hand."Lorenzo James Maxfield" He shook my hand while giving me a suspicious face.Oh right. Mom texted me his name. I just remembered."Okay, you guys can have your space" Chris said, sounding more suspicious."

Lorenzo's POV"Lorenzo James Maxfield! How dare you raise your voice?" Dad's voice thundered making my younger siblings flinch while they ate their breakfast."Are you serious? How can you decide my marriage without my opinion?" I belted."Enzo, we're doing this for your good only. And it wasn't us who decided it either. Your marriage was fixed the moment you were born. Your grandparents took the decision and we couldn't go against their will. Can you?" Mom reasoned."You should've told me, at the least. It's not that I don't listen to you. But I can't marry at this age. People get drunk at this age and pass out at parties. Don't you think I deserve to enjoy a bit?" I said, and I sounded really pathetic when I did so."Then is there anybody who you have in mind? Anyone who can replace the girl you are promised to so that you can get out of this marriage?" Mom asked me.I had no answer. At all. I did have a lot of one night stands but I didn't

What was the hardest part of everything?Definitely walking down the aisle, saying yes and promising to remain faithful and love till death do us part or should I say, until a year passes by and the marriage contract gets over.Focus. Stupid, you're doing it for your family.Everyone's gaze is upon me and Chris.I try to keep a soft smile under my almost transparent veil which was covering my face.I mean, one wrong look and I'm gonna ruin the whole videography.I look to the front to see Lorenzo standing next to the minister.My breath hitches in my throat.He looks devilishly handsome, like always. His body looks much more broader and muscular than ever before.The black tuxedo hugs his broad shoulders and thin waist. His black hair had been styled back with gel.An aura of power and dominance surrounds him, making him look more appealing.How could someone look this good?Natalie, Jones' tri

"Natalie, you need to wake up now" Vinnie pulled my blanket."Vin, it's 6 in the morning. The wedding's at 12 in the noon. There's a lot of time left to get ready" I said, trying to fall asleep."Fyi, everything starting from your makeup until tonight is going to be photographed. The photographers are already waiting for you to get ready for hair and makeup" Vinnie explained and I groaned before taking a quick shower."Our parents strictly advised me to give you only chicken and salad" Juli said, placing a bowl of shredded chicken in salad."This will also do" I smiled."Remind me again how many photographers we have at the moment" I said to Natasha who was busy getting her shoes on."We have three of them here, but at the wedding, we're gonna have 5 of them with 2 videography teams" She said."I wanted a simple wedding. This is too much" I sighed.

I'm so tired" I remarked while searching for my car keys."We're all having dinner together since there is no rehearsal dinner" Chris informed."Can we skip that too?"

My wedding is in a week's time and well, today is my first and last fitting.Juli, Vinnie, Natasha, Mary, Evelyn, Rose and Karen decided to tag along since they also had their dresses to pick up."I'm still not quite done with your dress yet but you can still try it on" Ken, my gay cousin, said helping me into my dress.The sleeves weren't quite done yet and the stitches weren't double stitched.Overall, it looked good enough. I smiled while all the others tried their dresses on."Hey, Nat, your phone is ringing. It's Aunt Christina" Natasha informed me handing me my phone."Hello?" I said as soon as I picked up."Natalie, where're you?" She asked."I'm at my dress fitting but we're almost done so I'll be home in maybe half an hour" I answered."If you're done there, please get to the company. Your Grandpa needs you to sig

"Nat, I don't know what to get for her" Tony choked, almost on the verge of crying.We decided to go shopping to get a gift for his girlfriend, Tesha. But everytime we'd decide on something, Tony would question himself on whether she would like it or not."Tony, if we go on like this, we won't be able to get her anything" I sighed.We came across designer bags, jewellery sets, clothes and shoes but he would have a second thought on all of them.I turn and walk around to the watch section."Hey, Tony, come here. I got the perfect gift for Tesha" I squirm, my eyes lighting up.He rushes over and I show him the watches for couples.The boutique manager comes and as I ask, he shows us the pair of platinum watches which were so exquisite."Look, Tony. These watches are really going to suit you and Tesha. She has a huge collection of watches and I swear, she's gonna love this one" I said.Tony also agrees and we get the watche

He walks in, completely ignoring me so I quickly wipe my tears before waddling behind him."Oh, Enzo, why didn't you tell us that you were coming?" Karen asked, taking a bite of her lasagna."I finished work early so I thought I'd swing by" Lorenzo answered before giving everyone a big smile and taking a seat.Tony quickly sits next to Lorenzo while Evelyn sat on the other side of him.Tony was well aware that I wasn't comfortable enough to sit next to Lorenzo."Natalie, sit and have dinner" Chris offered, noticing the pissed look on my face.I quietly sit between Chris and Juli and have dinner.All through out the dinner, everyone bombards questions at Lorenzo and he answers them with patience.After dinner, we all head to the living room and sit while discussing more about the wedding."Hey, Lorenzo, let's head outside once. Y'know, a man to man talk" Chris said sounding serious.I was completely sure that Chris

Are you not curious?" Mom asked me, somewhat disappointed.Well, if you guys didn't plan my future without my consent, I'd actually be really excited."Umm... any date is fine, Mom" I smiled."When is the wedding taking place, Aunt Chloe?" Juli asked.Typical of her to be sweet enough."It's exactly 4 weeks away. The wedding will take place on the 30th of November" Mom said, sounding excited."That's fine" I commented before getting back to the sketch Natasha was making."So you guys can decide on the theme colour by tomorrow and inform me so that I can tell the wedding planner. She wants to come prepared too" Aunt Christina informed
