Brittany's POV

“Just like that?” Mom seemed shocked after I had narrated everything to her, and she couldn't help but to ask for the second time.

This time, I only nodded whilst gulping down the chilled mocktail to swallow down my anger.

“Then that's good news. Now that we have the ball in our court, there's nothing to worry about anymore. But, I hope you've told him when the wedding would take place. You know, it's a day after tomorrow, right?” She uttered, raising her brows at the end of her statement.

Damn it! I almost thought I was forgetting something when I left his office.

“You mean you didn't?” Mom scoffed out and I just shrugged.

I froze for a second before glancing at her slowly and I guessed she understood my message instantly because her look said it all.

“It's in the contract, he doesn't need to hear it from me.” Those words came out seconds later to conceal my little incompetence.

Besides, I could send a message across to him when my secretary goes to pick up the contract tomorrow.

“If you say so but know better not to mess this up again.”

“I won't.” I replied simply as I signalled for another glass of mocktail from a maid.

She granted my request in a jiffy and I continued from where I stopped gulping. All to just cool my head off this marriage stuff.

What I clearly didn't want to happen was happening before me a day after tomorrow and I couldn't do anything to stop it except to follow along.

Mom was the sole mastermind behind all these. If she hadn't called me this morning to use the alternative of a contract she had drafted at the beginning of this marriage arrangements, then we wouldn't be here now.

At first, I was unsettled as just a contract wouldn't fix anything between Ace and me. Our relationship had become too broken to be mended, but mom wouldn't stop giving reasons the marriage should work.

Definitely, I reasoned with her because we were both pursuing the same thing—the company.

If I eventually got married to Ace like dad wanted, then I wouldn't have to worry about competing against my half-sister, Lora.

She would do anything to gain points from dad, and would use this as a chance to ruin my mother and me - like she'd always wanted.

Lora's mother used to be my father's mistress until she met her end, a few years after Lora was born. Even when she was just a mistress, I remembered how she'd always managed to get my father on her side, despite how she was the problem.

Lora wasn't any different from her mother even when I was a few years older than her and for that very reason, I'd vowed never to lose anything to her.

She was only an illegitimate child of the Anderson's and would remain that way except if she found something meaningful to do with her life.

Just then, mom's phone rang. “It's the wedding planner.” She said when I shot her a glance.

“You can proceed with the plans. It'll still take place as said, so make it glamorous like the previous one.”

“Yeah, bye.”

“Not glamorous, please. Just something simple.” I corrected immediately mom put down her phone, but she only glanced at me and didn't say anything.

“Now that everything is going smoothly, you should apologize to your father and let him know you're ready to get married as planned.” She said instead and nudged me when I didn't reply.

“Okay.” I muttered after a while then took a sip of my mocktail.

The vexation in me was expressed through my tone, and mom only heaved a sigh, before resting back on her seat.

“Mom?” I suddenly called her attention to me once again, and she responded with a gaze.

“Never use my secret against me….” I turned to face her partly before proceeding with my voice low, “you promised.”

I suddenly remembered I wanted to correct something with her — one of the reasons I visited instead. She'd used a secret of mine to threaten me earlier today — something I didn't want known to anyone, except for she, of course.

She stood up from her seat, “I wouldn't if you don't make me.” Then she left the garden.

Authoress POV

It was the wedding day today but unlike the previous wedding that took place, this was much scanty. Although, people showed up for the ceremony, it didn't bloom like the first one because this was done as per what Brittany wanted and of course, she didn't want it be glamorous like the first one.

“It was better not to waste more materials.” She had told everyone who wished to listen when she was asked the reason.

“You know what to do, right?” Brittany's dad had asked before taking his daughter up to meet the groom on the altar.

“Yes.” Brittany replied nonchalantly.

The vows and rings were exchanged within a short time and when it finally got to the kissing part, Brittany tried not to smack his face hard.

As much as she loved the kiss, she couldn't bring herself to admit it, obviously from the much hatred she had for him.

Ace, on the other hand, wished he didn't stop but like Brittany, he was unable to admit it.

Finally, they were done at the altar, and they didn't hesitate to walk down the aisle, holding hands like they meant it.

Just like Mr. Anderson, Brittany's father had been anticipating their presence too much, he gave Brittany a go ahead to approach the reporters outside.

Ace also understood the signal and walked his bride outside, where the paparazzi gathered immediately they were seen.

Brittany heaved a low sigh before she began, “I'm so sorry everyone for all the worries, anger, and drama I put you into. Actually, there was a misunderstanding that other day and I overreacted because I was ignorant of the situation, but after my darling husband explained everything with the help of the family, I realized I was at fault........” There was a short pause as she grabbed Ace much closer to her, and he didn't fail to hold her waist.

Brittany's anger was brewing inside already, especially since she had to do this, but none seemed to understand except her mother who was standing behind them.

Only she knew how hard it was for Brittany to practice and perfect those words.

“So, here I am, saying I'm sorry to all who showed me their sympathy.” She finished with a feigned look of guilt on her face.

“Does that mean, you lied with the arranged marriage stuff?” A female reporter asked.

“No, I didn't. This is a marriage which fully has Ace and I's support. You could call it arranged because our family discussed it first, but later realized we were also having it planned. I hope that has cleared up the misunderstanding.” She wrapped up her speech as she finally walked through the midst of the multitude of reporters with Ace by her side, and didn't stop smiling until they were inside the luxurious Lamborghini—a wedding gift from both of their fathers.

    Ace's POVI freed myself off my tie and two buttons from my shirt as soon as we got into the Lamborghini while waiting for the chauffeur to ignite the engine.It was until then that I could finally breathe in fresh air of which the media was fully the major cause of my initial suffocation.Despite being aware earlier on of everything we played in front of the media, I still couldn't help but to feel pressured by that act.It was just supposed to be a facade for the public, but it definitely took a great toll on me. I glanced at the lady beside me to see if she felt the same way but as usual, her expression wasn't easy to fathom, which makes me wonder what she could be thinking at the moment.I admitted she looked too gorgeous in that wedding dress, even when I only had a little chance to adore her. If it were to be in the past, I would have hushed praises into her ears and probably, she would smile back whilst doing the same. But things were different between us now.I clenched my

    Brittany's POVI jumped out of the car as soon as we got home and headed straight into the house, struggling along with my wedding dress.Thankfully, a few maids came to help me out at the doorstep. The house servants were lined up horizontally in the sitting room, obviously waiting for my presence. Their heads fell into a deep bow once they saw me whilst I halted my steps, only when I got in fully and a few meters from them. The two maids behind joined the rest.They remained like that for a while until the oldest one among them—a woman spoke up.“Congratulations madam on your married life. We've been expecting you for a while, and we hope our services would always make you happy. You're welcome home, My Lady.” A bright smile remained on her lips even when she finished.She looked beautiful for an old lady, probably ranging from fifties to sixties. Her hair which was partly gray was rolled up in a ponytail, and it matched perfectly with her looks; pretty.With her outfit and demeano

    Brittany's POV “You came to the office today? I mean, you should be at home enjoying your married life, at least rest at home for a week before coming back to the company.” She uttered with a wide smile, as if she truly cared when, of course, she didn't.That smile wasn't to impress me but to mock me instead. She knew how much damage this marriage had caused to my mental health, and I was certain she would try to use it to her advantage.“I don't see how that concerns you. Whether I decide to come to the office a day after my wedding, it's none of your business.” I replied with a similar energy.Since she was born to annoy me, I had learned to treat her the way she treated me. I wasn't going to be her victim. Moreover, I was the eldest daughter and the only legitimate child of the Anderson's.“Chillax, big sis. I only came to congratulate you, since I didn't have the chance to do that yesterday.” She smiled through gritted teeth as she spoke, and I knew it was obviously because of th

    Ace's POVTo say I wasn't furious about how I met Brittany and that forsaken friend of hers would be a lie. I didn't even realize when the anger crept inside of me.But strangely, I became glad when she untangled their hands. It still didn't stop me from glaring at him with so much hostility.Even if Brittany and I were no longer together, Jake still had made me feel deep hatred towards him and as a result, I distrusted him so much. Getting a text from dad about a change in the time of our supposed honeymoon turned a big deal for me but as it was as well for business, I obliged to go.According to dad, the honeymoon had been arranged before the wedding and its tickets were sent to my mansion yesterday but given that I didn't go home, I wasn't aware.All through our flight, neither of us said a word to each other. Although, she was barely awake and the few time she didn't sleep, she was on her phone, smiling at intervals at nobody knows what.The long silence didn't end even when we g

This was one of the reasons he was my best friend. Although, I also had another friend, but she was currently not in the state, so I was left with Jake at the moment.“Thanks for your good wishes, Jake.”“There's no need to thank me, Britt. I even wished I could do certain things for you, then you wouldn't have to go through all this just to have your inheritance.”I busted into a loud giggle, then stifled it a while later due to how people's eyes were already shooting to my direction.“I'm glad that I have a great friend like you. Thank you.” A low chuckle left my lips instead.He would never cease to amaze me.“Yeah. So, what's next?”“Don't know until this honeymoon ends. Hopefully, in

Her melodious moans were what made the moment even more pleasurable.I was close to cumming. I thrust deep into her one last time then poured all my hot liquid into her at once before pulling out. In the process, a few drops splashed on her thighs and the bed.We both fell flat on the bed as we covered ourselves with the huge blanket, also trying to stabilize our breaths.Elvira's coming wasn't planned as I was even shocked to see her. But as it turned out to be, she knew the right seduction tactics to use and I couldn't resist her. She and I had been f*vkmates since college but broke up when I met Brittany.

    ~~~~ Brittany's POVMy little princess' tiny hands wrapped in mine as we walked into the house together. I dropped the goody bags we came in with near one of the couches as I slumped to a seat with Emma.“You both came back right in time. I just prepared dinner for all of us.” Aunt Ciara smiled at our arrival before leaving the dining room to join us in the living room.“Yes.” I pulled off my sunshades and black silk material wrapped around my face.While I was out with Emma, I had used them all day to prevent people from recognizing me. It was definitely going to lead to a disaster if anybody who knew me saw us together.Fortunately, she was understanding regardless of just being four years of age. I believed it was because she was becoming used to it already. A low sigh left my lips then I glanced at her.“Emmy baby, how was your day? Did you have fun with Mummy, today?” Aunt Ciara asked, bending a little low to her level.Emma's face beamed with a smile as she giggled in her melodi

    ~~~ Brittany's POV “Oh my goodness, Britt!” Jake's voice startled me as he barged into my office without a warning.Goodness! Was he trailing me all along? I had barely even gotten into my office.“Where did you go? You had all of us worried, especially since you had your phone switched off.” He added immediately walking closer to me and I only breathed out slowly, calming my nerves down.He looked worried with both his facial expression and tone.I was silent for a while before leaving him on the stand to take my seat on my swivel chair. I was just arriving at my office after spending the night at a nearby hotel. When I arrived in America, it was still towards evening time and I didn't want to go back to Ace's mansion just yet. Dad's mansion was neither an option.“Only a few, though. I believe some weren't even aware of my absence.” I replied to him and rolled my eyes at the end.My last statement was referred to Ace as my mind flashed back to the dirty scene in the suite.

It wasn't like I hadn't suspected this, but it was actually so shocking that she could really use that method.I had thought she would go extra miles, something even far dangerous than this, just to ruin me but as dumb as she turned out to be, she just had to use something like embezzling the company's funds. Tchh!My gaze raised to meet my personal assistant's once again, and it gave her the go ahead to proceed with her reports. “Yes. It was as you've said. The expenses used for the past few weeks doesn't meet up with the weekly financial reports she hands down.”Well, given that the company's financial reports were usually submitted to dad as he was still in charge of the company affairs, it was just so clear that she could try to do something as such.Now that I was aware of what her plan was about, it was time to turn things around in

    Brittany's POVThe loud ringing above my head was what awakened me from the deep slumber that I wished lasted. As my eyes momentarily fluttered open, my hands reached out for the small clock on my bedside shelf and I turned it off. Then I sat up to rest on the headboard due to how light I felt at the moment.My entire body ached, that I felt like crap. It was obviously from too much alcohol yesterday. After what I tagged as the 'outrageous encounter' with dad yesterday, my whole body became numb and mind blank, especially when he just finished uttering those words, “then, your sister will have to get pregnant for him and become the CEO.” It felt as though someone would just wake me up from the disastrous nightmare.Everything was still fresh in my head, despite drowning myself in alcohol yesterday. Well, that was why I hated alcohol. It would only make one forget everything at that point then the next day, all memories would come rushing back.It was Jake's idea to clear my head in th

    Ace's POVJake wrapped Brittany's hands around his neck as he pulled her up. He lifted her purse to his other hand, but it didn't end there. He slipped his hands in her waist, leading her out and a deep frown crept to my face. I almost felt like stomping towards them to punch out all of his teeth. That way he would avoid touching what was mine. Wait! What did I just think? I must be out of my mind. Brittany was obviously loving it, since she looked comfortable being in his arms.“It's really her. Since when did she start coming here? Hey! Shouldn't you follow them? She seemed drunk to me.” Alex said, turning to face me at the last minute.“There would be no need. She looked so comfortable with her companion, so why should I bother?” I freed my hands from Elvira's grip to take my previous seat. I poured myself a drink and gulped it down all at once.“Dude! She is your wife and is drunk. If there's anyone to take her home in that state, then it should be you. You can't leave her in th

    The atmosphere became cold as soon as Mr. Anderson uttered those words to his daughter. It seemed as though time stopped for that brief moment. Even Mrs. Catherine who had been eavesdropping upstairs, had to come down from her hiding place out of shock and majorly, fear.Nobody expected it coming. It was a massive hit to everyone who heard it. Mrs. Catherine was left speechless even as she got to where the father and daughter were. It didn't take long before her husband walked out of the living room, taking the route into his study room and she followed suit. Obviously, to talk things out with him on behalf of their daughter.On the other hand, was Lora who came in some minutes ago. She barely had the chance to make her presence known amidst all the drama when her father's stance was made.Her lips slowly curled into a mischievous smile as she crossed her hands against her chest, staring at her half-sister with a raised brow. The shock and pain written over Brittany's face was what sh

    Brittany's POV “I've gathered more information on Ms Lora and Kylie, like you requested. These are more intimate than the ones we've gotten on them so far.” Clarissa uttered beside me as we both sat in the car.I turned to her and collected the tab she was stretching out to me. I glanced through it and sighed. Staring at that right now made me remember the enemies that I needed to fight off. I had briefly forgotten them.These days, Kylie's actions towards me had made me even more wary of him. His sudden determination to become close to me and Lora's pretence to overlook it, despite being his girlfriend, it all confirmed my suspicions. Once, she had passed by when Kylie was flirting with me, and she ignored us totally. Obviously, she didn't know that I was aware of her relationship with him.“You can stop bringing me pictures of Kylie and Lora together like this.” I spoke out as I handed Clarissa back the tab.Just gathering pictures of those two doing unbelievable things outside the

Yet, they were making me do this. I was brought back to reality when I felt Ace's hand slipped around my waist, pulling me closer. I shuddered when I felt the gentle brush of his tongue and the warmth of his minty breath.I didn't even realize when I gave into the kiss until I found myself wrapping my hands around his neck. This was one of the things I used to love about him. He was perfect in kisses.We were both still engrossed in it until I heard the audience's loud cheering. That brought me back to my senses and I disengaged immediately. I lowered my gaze as my face flushed red. I was slightly embarrassed.“Wow! That was hot.” Hostess Gabriella beamed.I could tell she was smiling from her voice, and I finally managed to lift my gaze with

    ~~~ Ace's POV “........and that would be all for today.” I closed the file in front of me as I dismissed everyone in the conference room and I stood up.I was the first to leave while unbuttoning my suit outer jacket. Meeting with the chiefs of departments of the company were so stressful, especially when I was exhausted. Unfortunately, it was something I had to do as the CEO. The weekly repetition of stating the company's affairs was what made the meeting boring for me, and I didn't make that less obvious. Footsteps behind me made me glance to see Melissa, my personal assistant.“What's the next on my schedule?” “You got an invitation to be a guest on a TV show, to inspire new business owners and startups in that field.” She replied in a grumble, almost I couldn't hear.What the hell was wrong with her? She'd been like that for days. I scoffed out, suddenly realizing it was due to the incident of a few days ago. Obviously, it was because I left her hanging in the office that eveni

    ~~~ Brittany's POV Our ride to dinner was a smooth and quiet one as there was silence all through, only the smooth running of cars on the road was heard. There was an accountable space between us too as we both sat at the back seat.I was staring out the window, my gaze focused on the different things that the car drove past. I smiled, seeing some of my company's cosmetics products displayed on a billboard. It wasn't just one, even though they were in different areas and locations.I saw another billboard that caught my attention, but this time, it was that of the A&C Enterprise. My eyes somehow flashed towards their CEO, who was sitting quietly beside me. He was resting on the seat as his two eyes remained shut. I rolled my eyes. Did he do that just now? Because I was certain he wasn't asleep. Just a while ago, his eyes couldn't stop worshiping me, right from the mansion. He adored me. Even when he didn't say it out, I knew from a side glance of what shock I put him into when I joi

    ~~~ Brittany's POV “What does it look like?” I raised my brows and crossed my hands against each other on my chest.Anger was slowly finding its way through me once again. Similar to when I arrived in the house earlier. Initially, I was scared when he suddenly entered into the room, taking me unaware.I was speaking with Emma and Aunt Ciara at the time he walked in and had almost thought he heard something, but all my fears vanished as soon as I realized he was asking about something else. I was beginning to understand what this was all about, but I was still going to feign ignorance at this time.“Why are you packing your things?” He asked after a moment of silence.“I'm sick of sharing a room with you, so I'll like to have my room and privacy. As it stands, nobody, except the servants, would know we stay in separate rooms.” I answered almost immediately and his brows furrowed momentarily.“Hold on… You mean….” He paused for a second and exhaled sharply, more like he was suddenly r
