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 LIFE IS SO FUNNY
Christiana’s point of view Life is so funny. It is so funny how things change in a blink of an eye. One day you are shattered, one day you are winsome. This is life. You think nothing changes. But no, my friend, it changes. Albeit when you look back, everything is so contrasting. I was so nervous and helpless a few hours back. But things just changed. Life is so unpredictable. We do not know what is bestowed on us. Who knew, I will be applying for a job in NAIMIE’S BURBANK and end up getting recruited? Also, never did I think of encountering my childhood friend, Joseph after ages and that too at the same place where I had applied for a job. If I look back there are many such funny, strange though happening things that happened to me. For example: getting married to Tiger was next to impossible thing. But it happened. He happened to be my childhood crush and was nothing less than a mere stranger to me. But later I got hitched to him. Isn’t that crazy? It is so funny how things change
MARRIAGE OF CONVENIENCE TO BE CONTINUED
Christiana’s point of viewHearing a sorry from his mouth was nothing less than hallucination. It seemed like I misheard him. I could not believe my ears. How could a person who had been so rude and arrogant to me, apologize all of sudden? It was something out of the box for me.“I…” I stammered; I didn’t know what to say to him at the particular moment. “Oh, no! You do not need to be so.” He said to me.I could feel he was upset. There was something which was bothering him. I wanted to ask him what it was. But did not do so, as I had no right to question him. Also, I doubted he would have told me. So, preferred being shut.Soon, he stepped forward towards me whilst controlling his anger. I could feel his anger. He was clenching his teeth and fist very tightly.He looked very attractive, with his casual look, deep intense eyes full of emotions. I suppose he was pretending. He did not want to let his emotions overpower him. He suffixes a smile on his face later.Accidently he collided
MARRIAGE OF CONVENIENCE A DAY AT THE CAFE
I went around to relax. That Tiger had really got on my nerves. “Like has he got nuts?” I uttered. He took undue advantage of my situation. His deed was not to be appreciated, he succeeded in what he wanted and needed. “There is no way I am going to let this guy go so easily,” I muttered whilst rushing out of the mansion. Forgetting everything I entered a coffee shop and saw too many couples sitting together. The moment made me feel bad all the more. I yearned to cherish that very moment. Nevertheless, I sat there thinking for a while and ordered a cup of black coffee. It was quite cold outside but the anger within me made me feel hot inside. It was my fault, I knew. My heart skipped a bit thinking of the previous night. I should have known and expected something like that from Tiger. It was nothing that strange. But it still did hurt me. “I think billionaires are like that only,” I muttered. They are ruthless and all they know is to ruin innocent people’s lives. I wonder how did he
MARRIAGE OF CONVENIENCE FINALLY
Christiana's point of view Today of all days I was going to enjoy, after all, I was going to visit my only brother and wanted to celebrate my only living bond. I hoped and prayed. I had no idea how much I have been waiting for that to happen. The whole day with Abraham! It has been over a couple of months since I saw my brother. The last few months I had spent on finding ways to visit him. I had applied an application through the lawyer in court to meet my brother. But a majority of times it got rejected. I wasn’t allowed to meet him during visitor time too. The ‘Burbank City Jail’ is quite strict when it comes to law and following protocols. After so many trials my application was accepted finally! Yes! I had been in the kitchen since 5 in the morning. I was baking a plum cake for Abraham. He was in prison for the rest of the years. I was sure he would love to have it. Plum cakes were his favourite. He would never say no to them. Well, Abraham wasn’t aware of my plans. I purposel

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

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
