Brody's POV
Thomas came to meet me in the parlor with a flower. He gave it to me with a smile. I looked at him, confused. I didn't understand the reason for the flower he gave me. "Huh, I just wanted to say sorry for everything I've done to your family." He apologized.I chuckled and threw the flower at him. "This is a joke, right?" He shook his head still putting on an excited expression. "I plucked it in the garden, I didn't know what you would like so I just decided to give this to everyone."I scoffed. "Really? A flower? What am I supposed to do with that?"He chuckled softly and sat down. "I don't know, I'm just asking you to forgive me.""You didn't do anything.""You were angry with me when you found out that I was cheating on your sister."I looked at him with a frustrated sigh, he was definitely right, I just couldn't believe my eyes that night when I discovered that he was in another relationship after getting married to Helen."Everything'Brody's POVI sat up on my bed and looked at the time. Ten o'clock in the morning, how did I sleep for so long? I was still feeling sleepy but I managed to get up. Karen walked into the room with a smile on her face. "You're in a good mood today."She frowned and removed her top. "Believe me, I'm not in a good mood. I hate parties now, I didn't know the guests would be much."I chuckled. "So that smile on your face was fake?" I asked her with a grin.She gave me a crooked smile. "Absolutely fake.""Why didn't you wake me up this morning?" I asked her as I removed my shirt.She wore a short gown and looked at herself in the mirror. "Yesterday night was fun, I didn't want to disturb you besides you bought clothes for me when we went for shopping."I looked at her with a casual smile as she glanced around her. "What are you looking for?""Huh, my phone." She answered.I offered quickly. "I can help you with that.""No, don't bother, I'll
Karen's POVI placed the bag on the bed and brought out the gifts Aunt Patricia bought from me. I found three new gowns in the bag and I smiled.She was trying to be nice to me, I just couldn't believe that the woman who hated and wanted me out of Brody's life bought me gifts. The door opened and Brody walked in with a grin on his face. "New clothes?" He asked, slamming the door behind him gently.I nodded. "Yeah, Aunt Patricia bought these beautiful gowns from me, I'm so excited that she has finally discovered that I'm not a bad person.Brody stared at me in awe, he was really shocked that his excitement was not expressed freely on his face. He sat on the bed and dropped his phone beside him. "I might get a new phone soon." He voiced out."Why?" I inquired."It has a virus already. Sometimes, it stops working during an important call or meeting." I answered with the hope of answering her question."You can meet a phone technician to check it and repair it. You
Karen's POVThe party had started already and I could hear people's screams and laughter from outside. I looked at my face in the mirror for the last time and smiled. I stepped down the stairs of my house, wearing my crimson red dress."Gorgeous, my Queen." Brody commented as the crowd danced to the music."Thanks, my King." I replied and we walked side by side to the dance floor."Last time I checked, you were a bad dancer. I don't know if you have improved because I don't want to save you from falling."I chuckled softly and squeezed his hands reassuringly. "I won't fall, I just want to give it a second trial." I told him.He nodded and held my hand. "I don't feel like dancing today." He replied and climbed the stairs."I thought you guys wanted to dance." Helen said as she stood in front of me.I nodded and scanned through the guests worriedly, I didn't want Bill to come. "Yeah, he changed his mind and I didn't want to get embarrassed eit
Karen's POVTears rolled down my cheeks. "Bill," I called out in a weak tone. "Please don't do this." I pleaded, my face went pale."You should have thought about this before falling in love with each other." He replied and snatched a mic from the musicians. He looked at us before making his stupid announcement. "Everyone, I have an announcement to make."The whole guests outside turned to look at him and some of the guests from the hall came outside when they heard his voice.Brody squeezed my hands gently trying to make me assured that he was not going to tell everyone the truth. "Everything would be alright." He assured me.I nodded and turned to look at Bill, he cleared his throat before making an announcement. My eyes scanned through the guests and found Brody's family looking at him. My heart skipped a beat as I heard Bill's voice. "I'm a therapist and Brody's my client," he began. I could feel my heart thumping hard in my chest due to fear.My gaze slowly re
Brody's POVWe all sat at the dining table ignoring one another. No one said a word and I squeezed Karen's hands reassuringly."Good morning," Helen greeted and paused when she saw Karen. She took her plate and walked into her room. I knew she didn't want to eat on the same table with my wife.I didn't want Karen to feel bad but it was like she already did. She dropped her fork and stood up. "You shouldn't get annoyed unnecessarily." My dad told her.She ignored him and walked out of the house. "You shouldn't have said a word to her." I said.He dropped the fork on the table obviously annoyed by my statement. "Both of you were wrong and you should admit it. You lied to all of us and we can't forgive you." He replied and stood up."I've lost my appetite." I also dropped my fork on the dining table and walked out of the house.Karen was sitting alone near the pool when I found her. "Do you swim?" She asked slowly."Of course but I've stopped for a long ti
Karen's POVHelen was sitting down on the sofa when I walked into the parlor. I didn't know if it was the best time to have a conversation with her but I decided to meet her. "Hi Helen," I said with a smile.She looked at me before concentrating on her phone. "Huh, I'm really sorry for everything that has happened. I didn't know how to tell you at first, I was really confused, I didn't want you to get angry if I told you it was a contract.""I'm making a promo film trailer for my project, can you please leave?"I knelt down and sat near her. "I'm sure you're not really angry with me because you're an actress and you should know about my situation.""Contract marriages?" She asked and we chuckled."Yeah, relationship contracts."She smiled and helped me get up, I sat down near her and stared at her film trailer. "Can you guess what I'm doing right now?" She asked."A film trailer?""You just gave me an idea for my project and I'm sure my film director is go
Karen's POVI woke up a little bit early, my body dripping with sweat and I was breathing heavily. I hurriedly got up to open a window. "Morning sunshine," Brody muttered as he walked into the room.Yawning, I stole a glance at the time. "It's morning already, It was like I didn't even sleep up to an hour."He chuckled and wore his trousers. "I'm finally going to work after spending the weekend here. Alex's gonna scream when he sees me."I suppressed a smile and asked. "You hardly go to work?""Maybe once in a week or thrice in a month." He answered.I tutted in disbelief. "Why?" I inquired.He opened his drawer up and picked an expensive wristwatch. "I don't have passion for making soaps."I laughed loudly and turned to him briskly. "I can't wait for you to be a musician."He licked his lips seductively and replied. "I can't wait for the both of us to live alone."Yeah but it seemed that his wish would get shattered because of his dad
Brody's POVI sat on my desk after a short conversation with one of the board members. Arranging my desk, I found a wedding invitation. "Who's getting married?" I asked myself loudly and checked the name. It was Alex, he was getting married to the love of his life.The door flung open and Alex walked in with dance steps. "I'm really surprised, you're getting married?"He nodded with a broad smile on his face and quietly closed the door behind him. "Yeah, next month, I'm getting married to Kate and I can't wait."My face brightened up with a smile. "I'm really excited for you," I replied genuinely. "But who's Kate?"He scratched his cheeks. "I didn't tell you about her because she didn't want too much attention. She's exactly like your beautiful wife." He answered."I must commend your act, you've dated and broken many hearts."He giggled excitedly. "That was what I was specialized in before I met Kate.""I'm also getting remarried to Karen." I rep
