Luke's POVAfter my wedding to Scarlett, I paid a certain amount of money into my In-law's account.Our deal was to have one of their daughters in exchange for my help. I had chosen Amelia and she, in return, chose me. My new in-laws have been on my neck months before I started a relationship with Amelia, asking for money to settle a certain man they were owing.I am not a person who gives out money in such a way without any exchange for something. I mean, it would be a different thing if I was asked for a loan, and not help. If I give a loan to someone, I would give a time frame with an interest request attached to my deal with them. However, the case is different from the Stones. I did not want to give them a loan, besides they would not have the money to pay me back, so I asked for what I wanted. Amelia was the woman I wanted amongst the two women the Stones birthed. Her dumb behaviour at our supposed wedding ruined everything I should have with her.At first, I was embarrassed
Ethan's POVI had just arrived from work today. My lawyer did not show up the other day with the marriage contract documents. I was exhausted from today's work. I was paid a visit from some influencers and investors who live within the country and a long meeting was held.Luckily, Robert was not amongst the men who had visited and I am glad he wasn't. I did not want to face him for now, until everything had happened.I rested my head on my car seat, gathering strength to park and get down.I parked my car at the lot to walk into the house. I perceived aroma coming from the kitchen and I was used to Amelia's cooking habit.I understand that she is bored at home and wants to keep herself busy.I was happy there was homemade food today and I was also excited because I will feast on a scrumptious meal. "Good evening," I greeted her while I sat on the couch in my living room. She looked like she was waiting for me, I came back quite late today. "Good evening," she greeted me back, smili
Amelia's POVOne thing I have not expected all my life is to be married to one of the richest men in the states. I have seen this happen in movies and other foreign countries.At the same time, I never thought I would have such an experience for myself.I always wanted a fairytale life, yes. But never have I assumed marriage with a very rich man, someone average like Luke and not Ethan.These past years, I have heard about the Blackwood generation from the internet. I remember vividly the main owner and CEO of a company dying last year. I couldn't remember well but I know I heard that his only son would take over.Ethan Blackwood was the name I had heard people say over the news. How could I have thought I would get married to him, on contract? It simply means I would be a part of his wealth since I will give him a child, a son. It is unbelievable.&nbs
Tessa's POVWe have not heard from Amelia since a day after the wedding when we asked her to leave the house. Carl had walked around in search of her, hoping to find her. Most times he stays awake at night, expecting her to walk in. I, myself, wish he would not see her again, not now or forever.I wanted to wake up one day and see her on the television screen as dead. I want to hear if she was hit by a truck, or a train. Even a car, so long she dies. This is what I want.Amelia was birthed by mistake and I do not hate her, but I see her as a mistake. All her years of growing as a woman, the neighbours chose her over Scarlett and Scarlett ended up sulking.We watched her leave the house after seizing her cards and car. She had sobbed with mucus flowing from her nose to her upper lip, looking at her sister and ex-fiance with hateful eyes. She left without taking an
Amelia's POVThe day I will be called, "Mrs. Blackwood," after weeks of anticipation finally arrived. Ethan has asked severally if I still needed something for the wedding days before today and I told him I don't. The money he had sent to me was more than enough to prepare for a court wedding. I had purchased a very expensive outfit for the day, with a silver slipper to match.Ethan made plenty of calls days ago, booking the services of the best hairstylist and makeover artist for the day. I was still in bed by this time, the wedding will begin in five hours and I am very nervous.I woke up with a nervous feeling, holding my stomach at intervals and getting encouragement from my husband-to-be. He had walked to my room the moment he heard the faucet from my bathroom squeak."Relax," he said to me and I smiled at him, displaying my set of teeth at him. He smiled at me, w
Ethan's POVAmelia looked stunning in her dress and I couldn't help but blush on her behalf. It is a woman's thing to get flattered and I don't know if Amelia was flattered but I was. I wanted to whisper into her ears and tell her how beautiful she looked in her dress.I prescribed the perfect boutique for her shopping. I gave her about three to four places to shop just in case one of the boutiques is not up to her taste. Amelia thanked me profusely that night and I got irritated, asking her to stop. What woman has such humility? Besides I would be her husband very soon and it is my duty to see to her needs.She asked if I would like to see what she had bought and I obliged, saying I will, but on the day of the wedding.I had walked into her room to see the outfit on her bed and I admired the beautiful piece at the moment. She finally got to wear the dress and I saw he
Scarlett's POV*Days agoI woke up that morning to see Luke still laying in bed. I smiled to myself and kissed him on his lips, slightly. He smiled back at me in his sleep and turned to the other side of the bed."How are you?" I asked him, whispering, kissing him again and he dragged me to himself where we stayed for sometime. We finally got entangled and drifted to our sleep again in each other's arms. It was finally dawn and Luke left for work, I was left at home, alone. Mother had called saying she will come over to my house to see me that weekend. I was happy to hear from her and anticipated her arrival and prepared ingredients for her favourite dish.However, things changed when I came across the unbelievable._The same afternoon, I sat on the couch in our living room, watching my favourite television program when the power supply got disconnected. There was l
Amelia's POVI had stayed back at home all these while, doing nothing serious with my life. A part of me would like to work, and another would like to sleep all day. I can say Ethan is the best husband ever, I do not love him yet and yet he treats me so well. Almost like a queen.Our honeymoon was an adventure, a great one at that. We didn't get to do anything under the duvet but yet, I can proudly say I enjoyed every bit of it. The discussions in bed, television programs and outings all through the days of our honeymoon. Ethan had walked back into the house on a Saturday with packs of dresses for me."Why did you do this?" I had questioned him and he smiled at me, calling me a local woman. It sounded very funny and true because I knew almost nothing about being romantic. I always knew something about romance, but not after my experience with my ex fiance, Luke. I thanked him profusely that nigh
