Married For 30 Days Check
~Sunday, the day of Beth's Piano Recital~ “Hurry up, Ana! I can't be late to my own recital.” I heard Beth yell out from her room where she was probably struggling to wear her shoes. “What are you talking about? I'm literally out the door. You're the one who's gonna make us late.” I replied from the kitchen, chuckling lightly. I had a piece of bread dangling from my mouth, with Liam in my arms. I fed him and ate simultaneously, as I tried to hurry up for Beth's piano recital. Beth came out of her room and sighted me feeding Liam. “Oops,” I said. I gave her an amused look, with a raised eyebrow, a slight smile, and a hint of 'I've been caught and I know I'm in trouble, but I'm not going to try to talk my way out of it' written all over my face. She laughed and shook her head. “Where's my purse?” She asked, looking around for it. “Under the throw pillow. And come here for a minute. I want to look at you properly.” She found her purse and came to meet me where I sat. S
Married For 30 Days Trapped
AnaTony stared at me with bloodshot eyes, his chest rose and fell as he took in heavy, angry breaths.“Did you really think you could run from me?” He approached me menacingly, the trudging sound of his boots echoing in the deserted restroom.I took a step back and soon my back was touching the wall and there was nowhere else to run to. I felt trapped and helpless.“What do you want from me Tony? Why are you doing this?”“You. I want you. And nothing is going to keep me from having you, not even you.” He cackled and wiped sweat from his forehead with the back of his hand.I couldn't understand Tony's obsession with me. Since when is it a crime to reject a man you weren't compatible with? And so what if it happens three years into the relationship?“Please, just leave me alone. Please.” I begged, as my voice quivered in fear and desperation.“Not until you give me what I want,” he snarled and approached me.“Okay okay. Fine, fine. I'll do whatever you want.” I was desperate and said a
Married For 30 Days Penny For My Thoughts
AnaI went to bed that night thinking about the crazy events I went through that day.Being a single mother was no small feat and I greatly missed the feeling of having a present partner to protect me.My mind went back to Tony and a shiver ran through my spine at the possibility that he would've harmed us if Terrence hadn't gotten to us just in time.And who knows what he might be planning now that I outrightly rejected him and physically hurt him. He could turn out to be more dangerous and unpredictable.I had to think of a way to keep me and my family safe. Maybe I should accept Ben's offer and move in with him already.But how was I going to explain having a child and a sister? It could be detrimental to the whole arrangement and I didn't want to put Liam and Beth in the crossfire between me and Ben.I had to think of something, and fast.I heard a soft knock on my door and Beth peeped in.“Why are you still awake? Can't sleep?” I asked.“Yeah. I'm worried about you. I don't want
Married For 30 Days Once Bitten
Ben I pressed my fingers to my temple, wincing in discomfort as I listened to the voicemail from Ana. The swivel chair swayed gently as I tapped my knee repeatedly. I was relieved she had finally come to her senses and agreed to move in. However, the mere thought of having her close at all times excited me and for the life of me, I couldn't tell why. My business deal with the investors was still hanging in the balance and the company was in dire need of some heavy cashflow so I needed to close the deal with them as soon as possible, otherwise, I could have a ton of angry unemployed workers on my hands. I left my seat and paced around my office, thinking of the best way to break the news of her coming to Mama Canda. I don't want her getting too excited or making a lot of fuss about it. The status quo must be respected and Ana is not to disrupt my daily life. But first things first. I brought out my phone and texted Ana: 'Be ready. Movers will be coming to pick you up tomorrow.’
Married For 30 Days Movers
AnaI woke up to the annoying sound of a vehicle beeping persistently just outside my window.I turned and peered at my alarm clock through heavy eyes, 6:30 am!I screamed into my pillow and threw off the covers in irritation. I went over to the window to see a moving truck backing up into my front porch.Isn't it a little too early for this? Or is it that the almighty Mr. Pierce cannot wait to tie me down as his fake wife and to continue his evil machinations.I hurried to my front door, yanking it open to tell them to either keep it down or come back later. I knew I was literally walking into trouble with my own two feet and I damn sure aren't in any hurry.A professional-looking mover, clipboard in hand, greeted me with a nod.“Morning, ma'am. We're here to move your belongings to Mr. Pierce's residence.”I glared at him. “Do you know what time it is? Can't this wait?”The mover shrugged. “Sorry, ma'am. Mr. Pierce's instructions were very clear. We need to get everything moved tod
Married For 30 Days Ghost From The Past
BenI pulled out of Ana's driveway, feeling a sense of satisfaction. Things were falling into place. Ana was finally on board with our arrangement, and I could focus on landing that business deal.As I drove, my mind turned to the tasks ahead. I needed to brief my security team on the new situation and make sure they were prepared for any potential threats.But why was Ana suddenly trying to avoid moving when she was the one that called me herself the previous night? It didn't make any sense.I pushed the thoughts aside, focusing on the road ahead. I couldn't let personal feelings get in the way of our arrangement. This was business, after all.But as I pulled into my driveway, I couldn't shake off the feeling that my life was about to change in ways I couldn't control.Mama Canda greeted me at the door, her usual warm smile in place. “You left this morning in such a hurry. Is everything okay?”“Someone is moving into the house today,” I replied, handing her my keys. “She will be here
Married For 30 Days Uncertainties
AnaI took a deep breath and stepped back inside, the silence of my home a stark contrast to the rising chaos outside. I headed straight to Liam's room, gently shaking him awake.“Hey, baby, time to get up,” I whispered, trying to sound cheerful.Liam rubbed his eyes with his tiny fingers, yawning in his sleep. I had a second thought and decided to leave him to continue sleeping for now.I headed to Beth's room, knocking softly on the door. After our argument last night, I was doubtful she was in the mood to talk to me but I tried nonetheless. “Beth, can we talk?”Beth opened the door, looking sleepy. “What is it, Ana?”I took a deep breath. “We're moving to Ben Pierce's house today.”Beth's eyes went wide. “What? Why?”I filled her in on the basics and the things she needed to know – the protection from Tony, the new life. I of course left out the part where Ben had threatened to throw me in jail if I didn't bend to his demands.Beth listened, her expression growing increasingly susp
Married For 30 Days Guests??
BenAfter my disastrous presentation, I took a break from work and drove home. I needed to freshen up, eat one of Mama Canda's special meals so I can think more clearly and strategize for the postponed presentation.That was the initial plan.But somehow, I spent the rest of the day reviewing security protocols and briefing my team on Ana's arrival. They knew the drill - keep an eye on her from a distance and make sure she wasn't being followed.I sat at my desk, staring blankly at the papers in front of me. My mind kept wandering back to Ana. What was her story? Earlier today she had been a little bit erratic and that was suspicious. What secrets was she hiding?'Get a grip, Ben,' I muttered to myself. This was just a fake marriage, a business deal. Don't let it get personal.I sighed, rubbing my temples. Focus, Ben. Suddenly my phone rang. I checked the caller ID to see that it was my father, but my father never calls unless it was for something very important, like business.He
