A NEW DAY- A NEW SURPRISE
Last Updated:
2024-10-29 19:42:56When I woke up, I was pretty shocked seeing the surrounding. I was in a room consisting of scenic portraits, king-size bed, and the roof-top not at all familiar to me. My house did not have that view. Also, there were no large chandlers in the center of it.
I pinched myself only to comeback to factuality. Gradually, I glanced at the room where I was sitting. Things seemed quite different. The room was quite big, I seemed like an ant lying on the floor.
“Where am I?” I muttered. I tried to remember about what happened few hours back that I was there.
I threw the blanket and stood straight. Amidst that my eyes went on a man sleeping next to my bed. I was conscious. The moment my barefoot touched the ground, I noticed he was Tiger and I was sleeping next to his bed. My eyes widened and I stepped back in fear.
“Get use to this for a year. You are no more living in your home.” He chuckled whilst going out of the room. I frowned. Those words of him were enough to bring me back to reality. Ough! I gasped

“Hello, bonjour madam!”
“Bonjour Miss Daisy!”“Breakfast madam! Here is your delicious breakfast, madam.”Miss Daisy-one of the housekeepers of the mansion came to me singing in the corridor.“Madam, shall I bring anything else for you,” Miss Daisy asked me humbly putting the glass of green tea along with some cookies, puffed cocoa, cheeseburgers, potatoes, bacon, green garlic yogurt, and a poached egg accompanied with diet coke on the table next to our bed.I was flabbergasted seeing the breakfast. I had never tried such whole and eccentric foods before.“Nope. It is more than enough for now. Well, am I supposed to have all of these alone?” I asked Miss Daisy confoundedly.“Yes, madam! This is for you.”“Miss Daisy, Daisy….”“Madam, I will have to go, master is calling.”Before I could say anything, she went away as Tiger summoned her....Ring! Ring! Ring!The doorbell of my room rang soon.I opened the door. It was Daisy yet again.“Miss Daisy, you….”I was puzzled seeing her again.She rushed into my room with an envelope in her hand that the great billionaire, Tiger- my beloved husband had sent for me.“Madam, this is for you. Master, has sent.”“For me…. What? What is it inside this?”“I do not have any clue, madam. Master told me to hand this over to you.” Daisy uttered.“Okay, thank you,” I said to Daisy whilst taking the envelope from her.I was seated on the couch and opened the envelope in which the letter was there. And paid heed to the envelope that Mr. Billionaire, my dear spouse had sent for me that stated:Do not forget that this is a ‘Marriage of Convenience.’ These are the conditions on which our marriage is fixed.This clause specifies that each spouse who has entered into the fixed marriage is fair and entered not by force or brunt.The marriage contract was effective as soon as we got hitched and is valid for one year. After that, it will be nullified.The agreement is fair and reasonable.Be Honest: As a spouse, you should be honest.You are protected from my debts and I am from yours. That way in the event of divorce you are safe. You need not pay anything to me. Also, I will not be liable to you.You are not bone of my bones, and flesh of my flesh…. We shall never be one flesh.3*3 Rule: In our marriage, there is nothing like 3 3 3 rules. We are not at all going to have any uninterrupted alone/together time.Nuptial: There will be nothing such as pre-nuptial or post-nuptial things between the two of us.Business: We ought to not bother about each other’s past and present.You have nothing to do with my personal life; the same goes for me. We are not going to interfere in each other’s life.A duty of good faith shall be put forth during negotiations.And one of the most important things to be followed is- You will not have any love bond with someone until the contract expires. You shall be free after that.Sign: After you read everything, do sign.It was nothing less than a crisis for me. Yes, I knew the factuality. But after reading the clause I was shattered.As per the bible, a wedding is not done on purpose to be a fixed contract that can be torn up or failed at will. This accord is intended to be a lifetime state. This is why Jesus stated in Matthew 19:6: “Wherefore they are no more twain(two), but one flesh.Albeit, ours was not the sacred connection between three; the man, the woman, and God. So, I signed it before thinking twice.Related chapters
MARRIAGE OF CONVENIENCE HAS HE GOT NUTS?
Christiana's point of view I groaned as the sunbeams snapped on my face. I was accustomed to awakening to a cock-crow voice. But now things have changed. It was a new place with new vibes. No matter when I slept, I usually got up by 7 in the morning. That day, too, was nothing different. I sat on the bed next to the king-sized bed – which was Tiger. I let a sigh remembering the escapades which took place one day back. The remembrances of the day were still on my mind. “Oh! I married that trader.” I muttered to myself. How did God let it happen? Am I so bad that he did not listen to my prayers? Everything is destined, and so was it. Thinking about that, I kept my thoughts at pause. “Good morning, Madam.” Miss Daisy, as usual, came to me and greeted me with a smile. After Tiger’s parent’s death, he grew up under her. Others were in charge of the mansion too, like Daisy. But Miss Daisy stayed closest to Tiger’s heart. He regarded her with immense respect and gratitude. It was alway
MARRIAGE OF CONVENIENCE WHAT NEXT?
Christiana's point of view Footsteps again with the same humming sound. I got to know my dear husband was back. What the hell will he do to me I did not know. But it did not bother me. He entered the room and his eyes fell on me. Thankfully it did not fall into the closet. For the time being, I did not want any chaos. Looking into his eyes I smiled a bit. I cannot hide my smile whenever my eyes met his. They got engrossed in them. “Oh, you are here on time. Look what I got for you. A delicious dinner my dear husband. Please get freshen up.” I said to him with a gentle smile on my face. I knew very well that he will not like that behavior of mine. So, I made sure when he was back, Miss Daisy was there in our room. Since Miss Daisy was there in our room, he did not have that opportunity to be ruthless to me. “Well, wow! My mouth is already watering. I cannot wait.” He pretended to be nice to his mom like Miss Daisy was present. Miss Daisy knew nothing about our contract marriage.
MARRIAGE OF CONVENIENCE IT'S OKAY TO NOT BE OKAY!
Christiana's point of view I rushed outside the room following for a while. I wanted to know what was he about to do next. But stopped thinking he will take me either way and misunderstand me yet again. Above all I did not want him to vent his anger on me, so, preferred going for the safe side. I stormed back into my room while blushing in the corridor. My cheeks were pink thinking about the intimate moment between the two of us. That was what had occupied my mind at that time. I open the closet and took out my diary. Yes, diary! I liked maintaining journals. My diary had records of sweet and sour experiences of my life. I extended my mind there. Well, it had been quite a few days since I had not written anything in it. My diary helped me grow personally and captured events that passed by instantly. I desiderated to pen down everything that day. I wanted my diary to have all the precious moments inked in that. That day I experienced things that I could not share with anybody. As I
MARRIAGE OF CONVENIENCE HE AMAZED ME!
Christiana’s point of view“Stop fidgeting,” Tiger said.“I am not fidgeting.”“We are already getting late; can you just buck up? I had said Miss Daisy to inform you about the dinner. Why aren’t you decked up?”“Sorry! What? What do you think of yourself?” I snapped back at him.Tiger was already dressed. So, like all other men, he did not have the patience to wait whilst their spouse is getting ready.Well, Tiger had organized a dinner for his colleagues and close friends. I was not at all aware of it beforehand. When he was back from his work, he informed me about that. No, wait! Not informed but had conveyed that through Miss Daisy.“Yes, you. And if you are done now? Can we please head toward the hall? The guests have already arrived.” He said to me.I did not like his attitude. His behavior was not to be appreciated at all.Tiger was one of the renowned persons in the country. So were his colleagues. I had never been in such a situation. I was not at all accustomed to that lavis
MARRIAGE OF CONVENIENCE OXYMORONIC FEELINGS HIT ME HARD
Christiana’s point of view. Anxiety and eagerness to work were eating my head. I did not have anything to do then. I had not completed my graduation yet. My stepmother stopped my education when I was in grade 11. After that, I had not seen the face of my school. My first memories are of playing with dolls in the backyard of my house. Not only I used to play with them but also do their hairdo and deck them up. I liked doing their makeup. When I was in school, I used to take part in events and fests. I was in charge of doing the makeup and hair. Gradually I got inclined towards that. Through my skills, I was passionate enough to make my name in the world of fashion, theatre, television, film, magazines, and other productions. Well, I wanted to become a renowned MUA. Albeit fate had its plan. I did not want to be part of the rat race, but at the same time, I did not want to lag. Having a career that aligns with your passion is a blessing. I wanted one such life. All my friends had co
MARRIAGE OF CONVENIENCE All ABOUT NAIMIE'S BURBANK
Christiana's point of viewI stretched out on my bed and thought for a while. Amidst that, the vibration sound of my mobile caught my attention. It was just a random telecom message. I lied there for a while and finally got off my bed, went to the window and pulled up the curtains. Sunlight hit my face, making me feel dizzy all the more. I could not see clearly and wanted to doze off. Ah! I let out a sigh! I was left with no choice but to woke up. My eyes fall on the clock hanging on the wall. It was around 9 in the morning. I was to go outside and was already late. I dash into my closet and change as soon as possible. I wore a formal black gown, clutched my hair and grabbed all the documents which I had. I knew it was not enough to get me a decent job, but I wanted to try, try till I succeeded. By the way, I had not informed about that to Tiger. I wanted to jostle, find a position for myself and let him know about my thoughts later. Also, I didn’t think it important to inform him a
MARRIAGE OF CONVENIENCE SOMEHOW I MANAGED!
Christiana’s point of viewWell, the store was not that far from my place. It wasn’t that close also. It was half an hour far from the mansion. It took fifteen to twenty minutes on the bus ride and more than ten minutes by walking to reach the mansion. I checked the time; I was very late. It was around eight at night. My heart throbbed harder. There were no signs of getting the bus. I never thought I ending up like that on the streets of Burbank. I was looking for the bus but had hard luck. Rarely any bus was coming. I would have been very late if I had chosen to wait there.So, I decided to walk. Also, it was a starry night, I wanted to walk beneath the millionth stars or even more than that. I pecked a glance at my wristwatch, it was already half past eight.I feared Tiger! I hope he didn't call my mother and ask her about anything. Fingers crossed. I started to run in panic soon. “Better I hurry,” I murmured. Of all the secrets I had with me over the few hours was not the saddes
MARRIAGE OF CONVENIENCE THE INTERVIEW DAY
I got off early in the morning listening to the cock-crow. Immediately, I went to the washroom and freshened up. That included taking a shower and brushing my teeth. I took out formal wear from my closet and got decked up as soon as possible. Though I was not satisfied with my appearance. I wanted to look a bit professional and classy at the same time. Nevertheless, I had another level of zeal in me. I did not want anything to go wrong that day. And I did not care about Tiger. He was not awake and was having a day off. He had his own plans for that day. So, I headed out of the mansion and there I was. Standing yet again in front of the Naimie building was something special to me. I felt a bit nervous and confident at the same time. I gathered all my courage and entered the office. I could not believe my eyes. I finally got to enter Naimie’s Burbank. All thanks to Joseph. No matter how much I thank him. It was not enough. It was the first step towards my dream. Well, I had not infor

MARRIAGE OF CONVENIENCE HURRAH!
Christiana sat on the couch, gazing out of the window with a wistful expression. Her fingers traced absentminded patterns on the armrest, her thoughts consumed by the absence of her brother-in-law Simon and his wife, Helen. The couple had recently moved into their new home across town, and though Christiana should have been happy for their new beginnings, she couldn't help but feel a sense of emptiness in her heart.Beside her, Tiger, her loving husband, noticed her melancholy and placed a comforting hand on her shoulder. They had always been a close-knit family, and the sudden void left by Simon and Helen's absence was hard to ignore. Christiana turned to meet Tiger's gaze, her eyes filled with longing."Tiger," she sighed, "I miss them so much. Our house feels incomplete without them."Tiger nodded understandingly. He too missed the lively presence of their beloved family members. The house seemed quieter, the laughter less frequent, and the familiar warmth that Simon and Helen brou

She envisioned a beautiful garden party, adorned with twinkling lights and vibrant flowers, where family and friends would come together to celebrate their love. The thought brought a smile to her face as she poured steaming coffee into two mugs.Tiger joined her at the breakfast table, his eyes still heavy with sleep.

"Tiger, have you ever thought about Abraham's marriage? It feels like such a sudden and unexpected turn of events. I can't help but wonder if he made the right decision."Tiger leaned back, his brow furrowing in contemplation. He took a deep breath before responding, his voice filled with empathy.

MARRIAGE OF CONVENIENCE FRESH START
Tiger paced back and forth in the grand living room of the Kelvin palace, his mind racing with worry and frustration. Christiana, his wife, watched him with a heavy heart. They both knew that their family was on the verge of yet another painful split. Simon and Helen, Christiana's brother-in-law and sister-in-law, had made the difficult decision to leave the Kelvin business empire, driven by a deep sense of disappointment and resentment.The root of the problem lay in Tiger's denial of Simon's long-awaited promotion. Simon had dedicated six months of hard work and unwavering loyalty to the Kelvin business. He firmly believed that he deserved recognition for his efforts and a chance to prove himself in a higher position. However, despite his qualifications and capabilities, the higher authorities had refused to acknowledge his potential.Christiana reached out and gently touched Tiger's arm, attempting to calm his inner turmoil. "Tiger, I understand that family dynamics can be complica
MARRIAGE OF CONVENIENCE RIFT
Christiana sat in her favorite armchair in the living room, a cup of steaming tea in her hands. The sound of raindrops tapping against the windowpane provided a soothing backdrop to her thoughts. It had been a long day, and she was looking forward to a quiet evening at home.Her attention was momentarily interrupted by the distant sound of the front door closing. She recognized the voices of her sister-in-law, Helen, and her brother-in-law, Tiger. Curiosity piqued, Christiana put her cup down and discreetly positioned herself closer to the open doorway, hoping to catch snippets of their conversation.Tiger's voice was low, tinged with frustration. "I don't understand why Simon isn't happy. He's only been with us for a few months, and already he's expecting a higher position. It's not fair."Christiana's heart skipped a beat. Simon, Tiger's cousin, had joined Tiger's office after his own business had gone bankrupt. Initially, Christiana had been relieved to hear that Simon was finding
