Amanda's POV"No fucking way," I whisper yelled at Quinn. "Right back at you," Quinn responded. We glared at each other for a few moments before Quinn moved away to make some phone calls. No way. There was no way in hell I was sharing a room with Quinn. Back in New York, it was already a pain being tossed into that uncomfortable closet of his to sleep in. But at least I didn't have to see his face. But there was no way I would do that here. And neither was I very keen on sleeping in the same room, especially not after what he did today. I'd rather sleep on the street. Quinn returned a few minutes later. "All the nearby hotels are fully booked," he said, frowning. I resisted the urge to roll my eyes, wanting to tell him to not look so disgusted. I wasn't exactly happy about this arrangement either. I bit back everything that I wanted to say. There was no use bickering. It wouldn't solve a thing. "We have no choice but to go. Tomorrow I'll drive out and see if we can find other opt

Amanda's POVAs the bathroom door shut behind him, I cursed whatever made him come back to the airport after he left the first time. Why did I ever think I wanted him around? What on earth got into my head to deceive me? Having him here was a nightmare. I would much rather he was in Finland attending to business. What a prick. I shut my eyes and imagined what it would have been like if it is was just me in Italy. I would be alone in this suite, getting much needed rest, in peace. I could even see a movie, or just sleep until the exhaustion buried deep in my bones dissipated. There was so much I could be doing. That wonderful beach, the excellent view, all the touring I would have been doing. It would have been the perfect vacation. But no. Quinn just had to change his mind at the last minute. Playing the caring husband, my foot. He just wanted to be in the control, that was it. The thought of me actually enjoying myself for two weeks did not sound right to him. Why should I be happ

Quinn's POVI awakened to the shock of Amanda curled up in my arms, her hand clutching onto my chest and her head snuggled into me. I spent the next few minutes just staring at her, watching her chest rise and fall, and listening to the lightness of her breaths. And for a second, my chest tightened. Even in the early hours of the morning, the sight of her was breathtaking. Taking her annoying nature out of the equation, Amanda was the most beautiful woman I had ever set eyes on. She had a freshness about her beauty that was rare. Maybe it was her thick, long lashes, or the beautiful color of her curly red hair. But whatever it is, she was gorgeous. I had a revelation of sorts last night. I mean, I'd known she was a beautiful woman, but last night made me realize just how gorgeous and sexy she was. At that thought, my eyes immediately flew down to her lower body. Fuck. I swallowed. Hard. She was still clad in that flimsy nightdress that made me have unclean thoughts for almost the

Amanda's POVYesterday was a rollercoaster. After my little argument with Quinn in the morning, I had kept my distance from him, not speaking to him unless he spoke to me. But I was so bored later on that when I saw him dressed up in sportswear to head out, I almost begged to go with him. I was bored out of my mind and had nothing else to do.To my surprise, he agreed, and we ended up having a tennis competition, which surprisingly wasn't so bad. We both had fun for the first time without bickering every few minutes. And it felt…good. Right now, however, I couldn't help but expect the worst as I stood beside Quinn in the elevator. Waking up this morning, yesterday had felt like a dream, but I could see the white T-shirt I had worn lying next to the bed on the floor. I was shocked to my bones when he had agreed to my coming with him to the game court, and even more so when he began to converse with him. For a while, I wondered if he was in his right senses or if he somehow lost his m

Chapter 70Quinn's POV Amanda's fingers were still intertwined in mine. She had calmed down a bit from when the flight first took off, but she wasn't saying much. All she did was stare outside the window and then redirect her gaze back to the plane, but she made no sort of conversation. That was strange, especially because I was so used to her yapping. Of course I'd wanted her to stop, but now it just seemed weird. Well, whatever she wanted to do was her own damn business. I wouldn't concern with worrying about her. That's what I decided to do. But my gaze kept on lingering on her. What the hell couldn't she just say something, even if it was something annoying, at least so I'd know she was okay. Finding myself worrying if she was fine came as a surprise to me. Did I really care? And if I did, why? There was no particular reason why I should feel this way towards her. It's not like I bothered what state of my mind she was in. This made me recall the last time I had seen her like th

Quinn's POVI was still so surprised by Nikolai's words that for a moment I did not speak. Aside from my company employees and acquaintances in New York, no 0ne knew about Amanda. Hell, they had no idea I was even married to begin with. Let alone that I was bringing her to Finland. "My wife?" I finally said, leaving room for a response. I saw Amanda glance up curiously at me, but I didn't say anything. Instead I waited for Nikolai to speak. When he did, he only chuckled. "I should be upset that I wasn't even invited to your wedding, old friend. But I'm sure there's a g0od reason for it so I won't push. But did you actually think you could come to my city and keep it a secret? Like I said, I have eyes everywhere. So, don't be modest. It would be my honor to host the two of you."I laughed. "I must say, your intel is impressive, then. We've barely landed and you already know all there is to know.""Like I said, this is my city. I shall have your driver sent back. The driver I sent to y

Chapter 72Amanda's POVIt took all the self discipline I could muster to not gape and stare when we arrived at the hotel. Holy shit. I had never seen a hotel so magnificent. I could honestly just stand and stare at it. But what else was to be expected. Nikolai had an eye for detail. He was good. I actually couldn't wait to meet him in person. I glanced at Quinn at that thought, swallowing back the urge to roll my eyes. Whether he permitted it or not, I was going to attend that meeting. Consequences be damned. He was my fake husband, not my jailer. And I wasn't a child either, so whatever feeling he had towards my decision was his problem. I was already feeling a lot better. "Let's go. Mr Dayne will be meeting us at the lobby," Quinn said impatiently, grabbing my arm and intertwining it in his. I almost moaned at the feeling of his strong hands on me. What the hell? I was not that touch starved, was I? I shook off whatever the hell that feeling was and forced myself to feel repulse

Chapter 73Quinn's POVI was trying hard to keep my patience, knowing that Amanda was stalling on purpose. It had been fifteen minutes since I left her in the suite to get changed, and she has still not made an appearance. I knew her well enough now to know that doing this to spite me, not because she had anything useful to do. I thought of calling her, but changed my mind. I would not give her the satisfaction of knowing that she was getting on my nerves successfully. So instead, I grabbed my computer and began to scroll through, looking through the documents I had prepared for the meeting tomorrow. I needed everything to be perfect. Alongside Nikolai Dayne, there would also be some potential investors whom I had plans of arranging meetings with. So, the more the better.When I caught their attention with my proposals, there was no way they wouldn't be ringing the very next day to schedule a meeting with me. That thought filled me with satisfaction. The company was thriving under my

AmandaI could not understand, for the life of me, how and why Luke was here in the first place. I had so many questions to ask him. He stood there staring at me for a few moments before walking forward."Hello, Camila. Finally I get to see you."I couldn't think of what to say, but I also couldn't leave him standing outside. That was even worse because he could easily be spotted. I had no choice but to invite him inside. At least he would be away from prying eyes until he had to leave. Surprisingly, Luke did not decline when I asked him to come in. I thought he would be angry at the fact that he found me here. Not like his opinion mattered, anyway. Hating that I had to deal with this coupled with what was already going on, I sobbed and led him into the mansion, walking straight to the living room and offering him a seat. I couldn't just leave him there regardless of how I felt. He was still a guest here, and guests had to be entertained. So I headed to the fridge and took out water

Amanda’s POV A secret? He killed my father because of some silly secrets? And my mother kept all this from me?My head was in my palm as a strong headache overcame me. It was as if the more I thought about it the more it throbbed, pulsated. I could hardly comprehend it.How could she keep this away from me, knowing this much. I married the son of the man that killed my own father. I think what was more shocking amongst all this was the fact that she watched me get married with him without so much as an eye bat.Call it what you might but I felt betrayed. I know she wanted to bury in the past, not scale out old wounds but she should have tried. She should have warned.Some part of me blamed myself as well. I should have listened to that little chipping voice that was whispering at me to turn back. To not work in that company. To not agree to the contract…..but without that, Quinn.Gods!I fisted my hair.The more I stayed here, the more my head swarmed with different thoughts. Accusat

Amanda’s POV Quinn was preparing for work. I immediately kicked up from the bed and ran into the bathroom. I wanted to join him to work. I loved the feeling of him driving me to work. It was cute and hot.I dashed into the bathroom and started showering. I skipped most of my routines. Just had a quick shower then sprinted out with the towel tied around my chest.Thumbling through racks of clothes, I fished out a white chiffon top with a fizzle at the hand. I brought out plain pants, a belt and my heels and a purse.I laid them out and began dressing briskly when Quinn turned to me. He stared, arched brow at me. “What are you doing?” His hand halted on his tie as he held my form in question.“What does it look like I’m doing?” As I asked I threw on my shirt, fastening my button. “I’m dressing so that I can join you for work.” I said like it wasn't the obvious.His hand dropped from his tie to his side and he faced me. “Work? Didn’t I tell you during last night’s date not to worry abo

Amanda’s POV After Quinn left, I was by myself, smiling like an idiot before I caught myself. I shook my head and palmed my cheeks. “Get a grip girl!” I reprimanded myself and snorted, and then I was grinning again.I groaned, there was no helping this. I might as well just let it be.While smiling, I reminisce the look of rapt shock on Mrs. Rosaline’s face. Then I suddenly remembered that Candace wasn’t present for breakfast.It’s been four days now and I hadn’t set eyes on her. The woman part of me felt bad for her. And to crown it all, she was pregnant after all the humiliation and there was her husband to be, swarming around me like a damn bee.I didn’t know what I was feeling, maybe call it, feeling euphoric, and stupid. But I wanted to check up on her. My feet moved on their own accords, and before I knew it, I was towing towards her room. Without so much as a ponder.I rapped on the door and she called in, thinking it was probably a servant or a maid. When she saw me her eyes

Quinn’s POV “You should have told me before you told them about our baby.” Amanda said, coming after me. She shut the door and sat on the bed with a bounce. She had her hand behind her whilst she looked up at me. The position suddenly ignited something feral inside of me.“You know your Aunty didn’t seem happy, only Granny was happy for us.”I leaned in, giving in a tad bit to the voice in my head. “I was just happy, feeling too in the moment,” I kissed her, a little deeper than I anticipated. Breaking away, I used my thumb on her cheeks to measure gaze with her. “I’m sorry, next time I’ll consult you before I take any action next time.”She waves it off, “it’s okay. I liked the look of surprise on their faces. Did you see the look on Miranda’s face?”“No, I didn’t,” I pulled her close, “I was too happy to notice anyone, honestly.” She brushed the hair that fell to my face back. “I just hope our baby will be safe.” The genuine worry on her face and her tone made me sit down rather

Amanda’s POV I woke up feeling a burst of euphoric excitement all over the air. The bed was still warm from Quinn’s presence. Lying on the bed, I grinned and spread my legs and arms wide on the bed. Everything felt right, felt in place. “Mmm,” I turned to the side of Quinn’s bed and tapped gently by his side. Grinning like I won the lottery. Inside me felt so light, like I could float to the sky, to the heavenss or better to the fucking galaxy.It was refreshing finally describing what we were. Putting a label to us. It felt like a breath of fresh air knowing my place. My indefinite place.All the questioning, all the unanswered questions and the burning fear was discarded. All that was left in its wake were colourful butterflies fluttering in the bosom of my stomach.What made me leave the bed was my phone by the bed stand. Next to the alarm clock. I grabbed it and rolled on my back putting a call through to Vanessa. My one and only fan. The fan of our ship since day one.“Hellooo

Quinn’s POV I couldn’t believe what Amanda was doing. Did she think that I didn’t know about the baby? I kept quiet, hoping she’d trust me enough to open up to me about the baby but she’d pulled a twister.When she’d called and said that she wanted to speak with me about something, I inwardly exhaled, relieved that she was finally coming to me with it, coming out clean but she instead suggested this.And what was that talk about finding love?I had learned about the pregnancy in the hospital. I was outside her ward when she asked the doctor to keep it a secret.“There’s no problem.” I said, much to her surprise. Why was she shocked? Isn’t that what she wanted?“You can go and meet the person you love, but make sure you give birth to my child first and give it to me before leaving.”Her eyes widened in shock, mouth agape with all the color drained from her features. She was stark with surprise. She opened her mouth and closed it, struggling to speak.I pushed up, tight hearted that she

Amanda’s POV I massaged my temples, sighing. Exhaustion and terror washed through me. This wasn’t the plan, this wasn’t stated in the contract. I wasn’t supposed to get pregnant.What was going to happen to me now? I couldn’t exactly raise a child alone. I mean I could, but work, life and my age. It wasn’t something I could do alone. And at the same time I couldn’t tell Quinn. Oh, I mustn’t.I didn’t want someone to stay with me just because I was pregnant. I wasn’t that selfish to force someone to stay with me for the sake of a baby.My eyes instinctively moved to my belly. We didn’t have a contract to get pregnant because he’d known that a grown ass lady wouldn’t be so stupid to let such a casualty happen.Our contract had not ended and wasn’t going to end any time soon. He would surely see that I was pregnant. It would be horrible, subjecting Quinn to something he didn’t want. And most importantly I didn’t want someone to be with me out of duty or pity. That wasn’t what I wanted.
Marrying the Ex Uncle One hundred and forty three
Amanda’s POV As I stepped out of the house I felt woozy and my vision blurred out. I held my head to shake off the dizziness, just in the moment my eyes closed and the world spun around me. Just as I was about to fall, a hand caught me and right me. I held my head, closing my eyes for a bit.I inhaled, when I was sure my vision was clear and not drowsy anymore I peeled my eyes open to see granny staring at me. Her hand was stationed around my wrist.Her brows creased into worry, eyes accessed me.“Thank you granny Maria.” I said and she let go, after a moment of observing me.“Have you gone for the check up?” She asked and I stared oblivious to her questions and reason behind it. She spoke as if I’d discussed my dizziness with her. How did she even know?“I heard you complaining about dizziness over the phone.” She gave herself away.I stared keenly at her. My stare easily asked the question; have you been eavesdropping on me? She immediately added, prior to my questioning stare, “
