MARRIAGE OF CONVENIENCE ENGAGEMENT DAY!
Christiana’s point of viewI drop on the couch applying the nail enamel perfectly and with care. “I hope I am looking presentable.” I muttered while thinking for a while.“I fidgeted.” Thinking whether I will be able to muddle up with the surrounding narrative. It had been hours since I was puzzled.“Finally, I am done.” I took a deep breath while giving myself a glance in the mirror top to bottom.I am looking good. Sophisticated and flowing, the Billie dress was sure to make a statement on the engagement day. I looked absolutely gorgeous in the mix of Chianti, Burnt Orange satin. Olive satin and Blackcurrant dress was just a DREAM! The double layered throughout the and cut on the bias gave me a beautiful fit while exposing my well-toned leg. It featured halter neck bodice with bust flattering plunged neckline accompanied with a seductive low cowl back caged multi strap. “Not bad.” I was satisfied with my dress which I had paired with silver high heels. I went for neutral smokey
MARRIAGE OF CONVENIENCE DISAPPOINTED
Christiana’s point of view I was in my deep slumber until I glanced at the clock. It was around 1:00 pm. Jesus. OH! MY GOD. “Fucking hell. I am still in my bed.”“Just, wow!” I exclaimed. “Why didn’t he wake me up, if he was already awakened?” I thought for a while. “Huh! My bad, why am I expecting anything from him?” I was still in my bed sitting there like an angry ball propelling towards anxiety, I just didn’t need it. “Is he here?” I momentarily glanced at Tiger for I wanted to confirm his presence. He wasn’t there. “Why will he even be?” I said in irritation. However, I drifted lazily from my bed while opening and closing my eyes, to gain the sunlight that slanted through the window. I was sleepy. Quite sleepy. “Ah! Soothing.” The air was sweet, birds were flying high in the sky. “I should have been at my work by now,” I murmured. Since I was back in California, I needed to get myself geared up for daily chores as usual. Nevertheless, I didn’t. “Such a mess, I am.” I regrette
MARRIAGE OF CONVENIENCE FUCKING LOSER!
Christiana’s point of viewI sat on the terrace, so utterly alone as I watched people coming back from their work. I isolated myself from everything and accepted the night. I dread dozing off in the night and having to face another day.I didn’t know what I was doing anymore. I didn’t know what I was going to do the next day.The diary where I penned down my emotions lay next to me. The hours on endlessly. I’ve been trying my best to figure out things. But I am unable to focus. I feel inadequate, worthless, and inferior. I should have never left the school. I should not have obeyed my stepmother and taken her daily abuse, nasty behaviour, and garbage so easily. “Huh” I gasped.I am just shame. An uncouth brat. Someone who couldn’t do anything worth it in her life. Thinking about all of this was so pointless and painful, but I was helpless. A thought hissed and spitted in my head like a snake:You are a fucking loser!However, I glanced out. The night view was nothing less than a pictu
MARRIAGE OF CONVENIENCE What?
Christiana’s point of view.Ring. Ring. Ring.I looked at the clock, it was around 8 in the morning. I was back from the washroom after leaving my face and hands and was about to have my breakfast when my phone rang abruptly. I step towards the table and took the phone. As I glanced at the phone; it was from my brother’s lawyer. Without any delay, I received the call.Jesus!Blessings needed.“Hello, Christiana.” He spoke.“Yes, sir. Is there any good news? Can I expect…” I asked the lawyer expecting good news to be heard from his side whilst crossing my fingers. Fingers crossed. “Ah! Christiana…”“Christiana, what sir? I asked him while interrupting. I was so worried that I didn’t let him complete his sentence. Ironical. I was the one who wanted to hear him as soon as possible, and I was the only one who didn’t let him complete what he was about to exhibit. “Well, Christiana, I understand you are inquisitive and worried. But take a pause and let me speak too.” He spoke.“Oh, yes!
MARRIAGE OF CONVENIENCE AWKWARDNESS
Third person’s point of view“I hate travelling. Nevertheless, I am not regretting.” Tiger muttered. “Ah, a hectic day. I had to meet James away from my mansion. I could not afford Christiana to know about our meeting and the rest of the facts. I just cannot.” He added further while nearing the mansion.Meeting James after a month was nothing less than happiness. Tears of joy rolled down my eyes. All these months he had kept me updated with the needs of Christiana. It was he who was in constant touch with me and kept me informed about things related to Christiana’s brother, Abraham. Right from Christiana’s appeal to meet Abraham in jail to the petition that she applied to the higher court. Also, he was the very person who said to me about Tiger’s need for money. Tiger was overwhelmed and contented. He contemplated quietly.“Well, it is just 8. I am not that late. Though I am tired.” Tiger thought for a while returning.“Should I ask Christiana about the case and petition? Or should I
MARRIAGE OF CONVENIENCE INSANE ME!
Christiana’s point of view Am I thinking too much? No, I don’t think so. It is just I am unable to decipher things. Yes. “What did he want to say? It was pretty clear from his face that there was something he wanted to say. Yes. I could feel that. But what was it?” After doing a few of the chores, I sat on Tiger’s couch, staring at him. Expecting he would exhibit then. But all in vain. Nevertheless, I thought of initiating the conversation myself. “Huh!” “Tiger!” I called Tiger, finally.“Christiana!” Amazed. I was utterly amazed when I heard Tiger calling me at the very moment when I called him. We paused for a while whilst locking eyes and got engrossed in each other. Those few minutes were nothing less than heaven. Those eyes! Angelic eyes. Gleam. Dazzling. Dazzling eyes glistened in the light and were a real show-stopper. Ironical. Quite Ironical. Jesus! Oh, my god. I grinned.“Did you just?” Surprised. Quite surprised. I was surprised by what took place. Unusual.“Yes, d
MARRIAGE OF CONVENIENCE MORE THAN ONE
Christiana’s point of view What should I be doing? Should I just consider him, just because he requested me to be present alongside him during the event? Or should I just skip the thought of going there, keeping the recent escapades on my mind? Tough job! Very. Very. Very. I should forget everything and focus on the present. If not personal, I should contemplate about things through the lens of professionalism. Yes. I need to go. No matter what, I need to be present there. I just cannot let him down. Just because of me his image will be hampered. And I cannot afford to do so. “There are so many things I should be doing right now other than thinking about the past. What should I be doing? Showering. Changing. Preparing for all the people who will be there for the next two hours. Just for Tiger.” I muttered. “I need to take a quick shower,” I said whilst heading towards the washroom. . .. . More Than One She was there. Right there with him. Right there, standing in the studio,
MARRIAGE OF CONVENIENCE WELL IT ALL STARTED WITH THAT!
Christiana’s point of view Well, it all started with that. The night was utterly bright, especially so as to blind the eyes temporarily. In California, Hyatt Regency Huntington Beach Resort And Spa. In the south corner, luxurious cars assembled making obvious the presence of talked about personality. A flock of reputed reporters, cinematographer, thronged up in the way holding the necessary equipment – the cameras, mic, and …. That evening Tiger had organized a party cum event at the hotel, for launching his new product – Tessa Di perfum, that happened to be a brand new perfume under his brand – Kelvin. He had invited the business tycoons of Burbank to attend the event. Everyone was aware of the event beforehand except me. I got to know about the event few hours back the kick start. “Hey!” Tiger spoke while covering the distance between the two of us, hitting his knees with the table next to us, and eventually he slipped and fell over me. He was on top of me, measuring my length.

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.

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.

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
