Darlington Briggs;I finally broke the silence between us as my face turned strict to hide the fact that I admired this lady.I felt like I had seen her somewhere before, but I couldn't remember where exactly I had seen her."So, you traveled here for an arranged marriage with me? Do you think that I want to marry you? Why would you accept to come here to my family home without waiting for me to agree on this or not?".I questioned the lady in an annoying tone, and she stared downward and apologized seductively, saying, "I'm sorry about how you feel about all these. But I didn't want to marry you too. My father insisted, and I couldn't disrespect him.""Hmm..." I saw her shivering due to the cold weather, and my bedroom ceiling fan was on and rotating speedily alongside the air conditioning, which was switched on.I strode to the fan, switched it off, and felt her intense gaze. I wasn't so comfortable meeting her blue orbs. She looks pretty, but I made it clear to her."I will not marr
Amara Nicholas, I hadn't expected Darlington and his mother to yell at me. I had only stepped outside the bedroom to have my dinner downstairs with them since I was hungry, and it was only suitable that I come out of the bedroom to inquire about my dinner from them.I knew that Mrs. Ifeoma hated me from the moment that she laid her eyes on me. She didn't acknowledge my presence and wanted me out of her mansion.I am not a village lady, and the way she addressed me with insults made me sad. I wondered if I had met her somewhere before, and I thought to ask my mother about Mrs. Ifeoma.I went downstairs to the dining room. The mansion was vast, like my father's mansion. It was almost similar to my father's new mansion, which I had left in the countryside where I had grown up. It was far more extensive than this house. Yet Mrs. Ifeoma mistreated me just after meeting me for the first time.I tried not to cry, as I wasn't prepared for all this family drama. I love to have my peace, as my
Darlington Briggs;"Hmm, You see what you have all caused. You all showed your shrewd behaviors towards Amara on the first day of her arrival. If she leaves this house, then you will all leave this house too, and I will seize every asset that you all have," my father gave out his warning as he rose from his dinner chair and walked towards the staircase.I was still silent, and my mother and Amara were stunned at the new lady's behavior. She indirectly accused us of trying to poison her, and even though she didn't say it directly, her actions already stated that she suspected us."Just look at. Only today, others are celebrating in their homes. We are here having to deal with a stranger, a lowly human for that matter," Amara cursed, just after my father had finished washing his hands and left us at the dining table to check upstairs on the lady who had darted away."Hmm," I wasn't happy with all of these, but I couldn't voice it out. I knew my father's influence, and he was not joking.
Darlington Briggs;I stayed in the living room; shortly after, I had dismissed the maid to go upstairs and deliver the dinner to Amara.I wouldn't accept her as my wife, although I knew my father wasn't joking. I wasn't a kid to be swayed. I am 30 years old, not a young boy for my father to control however he pleased.I remember not having my phone, as I had rushed out of the sitting room and went downstairs to inform the maid. Growing tired, I went upstairs to my sitting room again to get my phone and change my purple T-shirt and black pants into a warm night robe.I needed to take my evening bath, and I thought about using a guest room downstairs as I didn't want to share my space with Amara.I got into my sitting room, as the entire mansion was now eerily silent. It was past 11 pm, yet my family and I were still awake because we now had a new addition to our home.She comfortably sat on the couch and ate her food on a small stool placed in front of her. She licked her fingers and st
Darlington Briggs;Amara frowned and asked me, "Did you not attend Country Z private university?" I froze and looked at Amara as she mentioned the year I had graduated as the year she met me."Hmm, all that is past tense now. I have a woman in my life now that I am in love with, and I cannot accept you.""Okay. Then I will stay on a month's holiday here. After that, I will return home to my family's house in the countryside," Amara said, casually stretching again on the couch."Fine," I looked away from Amara, seeing that her movement attracted me to admire her more.I wanted to go downstairs for a good night's sleep; however, Amara asked me, in her charming soft voice, "Can I sleep here on the couch?""No. So that you can report me to my father tomorrow, get up, and go inside my bedroom and sleep there. I will be going downstairs to sleep. Or isn't that why you're here, to share my property and become my wife too by force?""No," Amara responded and looked away from me, blushing. I sa
Amara Nicholas:I woke up in the sumptuous bedroom, thinking that Darlington had slept on the bed with me. I saw when he returned back the previous night to his room and took his phone. Well, I fell asleep on the bed and drifted off to sleep, ensuring to create a space on the bed between us, just in case Darlington returned to the room again to sleep.I awoke and found out that I was alone in the room, with the sound of my phone ringing on the shelf. I glanced at where I had kept my phone the previous night, took it, and saw my father actually phoning me."Hello, Dad, Good morning," I greeted, and heard my father's calm response, "Amara, how was your night?""Fine, Dad, and yours?""Good! Actually, I called Mr. Joshua Briggs this morning, and he informed me that you have finally agreed to stay with them for a while, probably a month or two, to get acquainted with Darlington. Is that so?""Yes, Dad, I thought about it, and accepted too," I said, stealing a quick glance at the room clock
Amara Nicholas:"You have no right to speak to my younger sister in such a manner again! Is that understood?" Darlington glared at me after he shut the door and walked up to meet me, yanking me by my shoulders.I thought he wanted to beat me for insulting his sister. I pulled his hands off my shoulders and rushed into the restroom to wash my face in the lavatory.Likewise, I heard Darlington bang on the bathroom door. "Come out, Amara. I need to take my bath and leave this house."I ignored responding to Darlington. My face stung from the multiple slaps that Samara gave me, and I couldn't imagine that I already agreed with my father to stay here with them.I couldn't complain to my father, not after I had agreed that I would stay with Darlington and become his wife.Similarly, I admired Darlington. He's handsome and I want to be his wife. I washed my face, switched on the tap, allowed the water to flow on my right palms, then used the cold water to splash on my face.I decided to take
Darlington Briggs:I hadn't expected Amara to succumb to my touch.What had gotten into me?I only went to the bathroom to see if she was fine. I hadn't expected to see her nude; no wonder she shouted out she was fine. But she didn't mention to me that she wanted to take her bath or was unclothed. Especially when she saw that I was preparing to take my bath and go to church too.Holy Mary. Amara's ass was so on point. Curved, full, and her boobs. I couldn't take my eyes away from her. My body reacted immediately when I saw her smoothly naked body. My member rose, throbbing to receive her touch. I stood motionless, frozen in place, admiring her physique.Damn! I was so horny the last night that I couldn't sleep. Jenna refused me from touching her, and now seeing Amara. My member was fully erect and only hidden by my shorts.I couldn't believe that I was aroused because of her. Like I wasn't supposed to be attracted to Amara. What went wrong with me? I wondered in my mind as I immediatel
