HARMONY'S POV:
It was a bright and sunny Saturday morning in New York with it's normal hustle and bustle. I was busy cleaning my apartment from last night half sleepover. By the way I should call Meg to know if she's alright. My doorbell suddenly rang. "I wonder who it could be so early." I went to see who it was and surprisingly my parents were at my door step. Wow my parents rarely visits unless something was up "Mom, dad.... what are you doing here" I asked curiousily. "Is that how to greet your parents in the morning?" Dad asked jokingly. I quickly gave them a hug and kisses on their cheeks "Sorry Dad, mom... Please do come in." They entered my apartment and went straight to my living room. Thank God I had finished cleaning up the mess Meg and I made last night. "Glad to see you can keep your apartment clean" dad said looking around my sitting room "Dad!! What's that supposed to mean?" I asked folding my hands "What?, Don't look at me like that. Since you are a terrible cook, it's nice to know that you are neat" he said teasingly while mom giggles. Well it's true, I can't cook to save my life. One time I tried preparing pancakes.....big mess. The house almost caught on fire. "Mom, tell Dad to stop teasing me" I said pouting while dad laughed so hard "Oh Gerald, stop pulling her legs"she said laughing as well "But it's the truth" I just rolled my eyes "I know but..." They were probably going to start arguing soon "Guys... guys, stop arguing and tell me why I owe this August visit." They both stopped and looked serious for once. I wonder what they want to tell me. No offense but my parents are never serious. They are always joking, arguing and pulling each other's legs. I wonder what's up. "Sit down sweetie, we have something important to tell you" mom said walking over to seat beside me "What's wrong mom, dad did someone die?, oh my God!! Did something happen to Meg?. She left early yesterday"I said getting worried already "Tell her Gerald"mom looked at dad nervously "Well?, Are you going to tell me or not" I was getting impatient and I felt like something big is about to happen, something that will change my life forever "Well you see Harmony...."my dad never calls me by my full name unless it was serious. He calls me harms instead, weird I know. I mean who calls their daughter Harms?. "You are getting married in two weeks"he dropped the bomb. I couldn't help bursting into laughter while rolling on the floor "That was a good one dad, really cracked me up." I said trying to recover from my laughter. I haven't laughed that much in a while "He's serious Harmony."mom said looking serious. Wait are they for real, I couldn't recognize them because the parents I knew loved me more than anything and, would never do this to me. "How could you say that am getting married to someone I don't even know? am I a burden to you guys? Is that why you're trying to get rid of me?" I felt so betrayed. How could they "Harmony Beverly Harrison, you are getting married and that's final" dad said raising his voice at me. Mom tried to calm him down "How could you let him do this to me mom?" I couldn't hold my tears anymore. I didn't want to get married, at least not now "Sweetie listen, before you were born, your dad and his best friend Desmond made a pact to become families one day and that time has come for you and his son" "But I can't mom, I didn't even know uncle Desmond has a son. I want to fall in love, I want what you guys have. Please mom, dad" I was still crying when dad took my hands and said "Harms... You know how much I love you and would never do anything to hurt you. As for love, you'll definitely fall in love in due time. Trust me my dear" he said reassuring "Please do this for us, you won't regret it I promise." It's the first time dad has plead with me to do something for him. I wiped my tears "Okay dad, I'll marry him" how hard can it be i thoughtAfter my parents left I couldn't help but think how my life was going to be. I have always wanted to fall in love with someone who would always be there for me, who would love me for my imperfections, someone who never stop putting a smile on my face. I wonder if I would ever have that with this Adrain Stone. What if he doesn't like me. What if he acts like his name 'a stone'. I have always read stories about arranged marriages where the guy is always rude to the girls but they later fall in love with each other and have a happy ever after. Am I going to have a happy ever after too? Am not the kind of girl that would sit down and let a guy bully her before falling in love. What if he's a wife beater?, I'll have to attend some karate classes to defend myself. Ugh!! Am already getting insane and am not even married yet. I should call Meg. I decided to call Meg. She left so early last night. I hope she's fine "Hey B" she sounded sad which is unlike her. She's usually happy "What's wrong? You left so early last night. I was worried about you" I said genuinely concerned for my bffae (best friend forever and ever) "Ken broke up with me" she started crying over the phone. Here I was thinking about my problems while my bestie was heartbroken. "I'm coming. You're at home right" I said walking over to my closet to grab a hoodie. "Yes". I hung up. I just wore my hoodie over my SpongeBob SquarePants pyjamas and went out. What I don't really care how I dress besides Meg needs me right now. I drove to the supermarket with everyone staring at me like have gone nuts. I got a bowl of banana flavored ice cream which was mine and Meg's favorite. I entered my car and was heading to Meg's place but I made a U-turn, heading straight to someone that needs a piece of my mind.ADRAIN'S POV:After what my parents told me, I barely called or even answer their messages. I was pissed as hell but, I can't loose my company because of a girl. I wasn't planning on falling in love and getting married anyway so, this will probably be a solution to both my parents and I.I came to see an old acquaintance of mine. We've been doing business before and I was planning on buying a new house so I went to his office. We were both discussing on houses and location when his office door burst open. An angry mad woman barged into his office wearing pyjamas and a hoodie?HARMONY'S POV:I decided to give that stupid Ken a piece of my mind. He and Meg met at a club 6months ago. I never liked him because he was always too full of himself. I only tolerated him because of Meg but now, I'm going to put him in his rightful place. How dare he hurt my best friend.I arrived in front of his company and quickly dashed into the building. I knew that his secretary won't let me in so I ran pas
ADRAIN'S POV: It was Sunday morning, I went to the office to try and get my present predicament out of my mind. I really don't want to get married. How could my parents do such a thing to me after all I have been through. I was busy typing furiously on my computer when dad called my cell phone. I was really exhausted due to lack of sleep. After friday's dinner, I barely went to my penthouse. I was just working, trying to get my mind off things. My phone rang again. For fuck sake, what does he want now? For me to give up my life? "Hello" I answered trying my best to let him know I wasn't interested in anything he wanted to say. Knowing my dad, he's as stubborn as I am "We'll be having dinner with the Harrison's tonight. Be here on time" he hung up the phone. He was angry at me but, so was I. I don't want any of this. I continued with my work when my door burst open. Nicole Kirby walked in looking so sexy as always in her short mini dress. Nicole and I were fuck buddi
ADRAIN'S POV: I arrived a few minutes late which I did on purpose. I really didn't want to be here. Anyway, here goes nothing. I rang the doorbell and was ushered in by a maid who showed me to the dinning room. I went into the dinning room and was captivated by the most beautiful sight I have ever seen. Eyes dark as ebony, skin as dark as chocolate, beautiful lips which graced the features of her small diamond shaped face. She was enchanting...... bullshit!!!Those things only happen in shitty movies. The guy falls in love with the girl at first meeting. She was ok yes, but, not to the point I'll lose my senses and start reciting poems plus, she's not my type. I apologized for being late then took a seat opposite hers.HARMONY'S POV:Megan had told me he was hot but, I never expected this. He looked like a super model, no a freaking Greek god with his grey eyes, straight nose, small heart shaped lips which looked so succulent. He was very tall compared to my 5 ft 4 height. He was als
HARMONY'S POV:First day of work was quite wonderful. I made friends with some of the staff. Like Jenny for example, she's the receptionist and she's very nice. Jenny told me the boss travelled for a few days and would be coming back today with the bosses boss. I wonder what that meant. Anyway, after settling in my office, sorting out the mails and schedule for the arrival of the boss. It was finally lunch time. I went to cafeteria to get food when I bumped into someone."I... I'm sorry" I said trying pick up the files that scattered all over without looking at the person I bumped into"CAN'T YOU WATCH WHERE THE FUCK YOU'RE HEADED?" Who the hell is he screaming at me. I stood up to yell back at him but instantly felt paralyzed. I could tell he was taken aback as well"Y.. you?" He just grabbed my hand and dragged me into a big office. Oh Lord, please don't let the boss come anytime soon."What the fuck are you doing here" he shouted."How is that any of your concern you jerk." No one
HARMONY'S POV:I stormed off angrily last night. I was so devastated. I couldn't control my tears I mean, we are not in love or anything but I can't help but wish that I'll have a happy marriage. A man who loves me irrespective of my flaws and imperfections. What have I done to deserve such an alliance. I cried myself to bed wishing all this could go away, and I'll wake up from this nightmare but sadly, this was my reality.I woke up early feeling blue with my eyes all sore. I stared at my reflection and I looked like I wrestled with a tiger. I was brushing my teeth when my doorbell rang. Who could that be so early in the morning. I went to open the door but tripped on the empty bag of chips Laying on the floor. I'll have to clean up when I get back from work. I quickly rushed to open the door but, I saw Adrain at my doorstep. Am I still dreaming.The way his eyes travelled along my body made a shiver run down my spine. No, this can't be a dream. It looked like he was about to leave b
HARMONY'S POV:It was finally Friday. The week has been so stressful with planning, dress fittings, the invites, and so on and so forth. Meanwhile, Adrain and I have barely spoken a word to each other. Is either he avoids me or just make whatever he has to say snappy unlike our usual fights. Anyway it's for the best though, I don't have any strength for him now.Today is my bachelorette party. Meg and Ariana decided to have a small house party in my home, at my insistance because, they wanted to go clubbing. So we'll be having a girls sleepover. I decided to get the house ready for tonight. It was 5pm already, the girls should be arriving soon. "Where's the bride to be?" Ariana yelled from the sitting room "Hey girls"they all came to hug me. It was four of us plus aunt Taylor's niece Lily who will be one of my bridesmaids tomorrow. "Let's get this party started" Meg, the party organizer who has taken it upon herself that we'll do everything on her to do list. We danced,
HARMONY'S POV:I am officially married now. After the reception, Adrain and I went to our new house which was apparently a wedding gift from his parents and mine. I cried a lot when saying goodbye to my parents and Meg. "Promise me you will call everyday" she sobbed in my arms. "I promise. Stop acting like I'm gonna die, you can come visit anytime and I'll visit as well" we were both a crying mess.The car ride was awkward. Adrain barely spoke a word ever since he said I do. I couldn't help but think about when the priest said 'you may kiss your bride' . I was so nervous but smart Adrain kissed my cheek. His lips were the softest thing I have ever felt. But, deep inside I felt disappointed that he didn't kiss my lips. Well I guess I'll probably die a virgin then We got to the house more like a mansion. Gosh are we expected to live here alone?. Adrain was about walking inside when I shouted "Wait!!" I gestured with my hands for him to stop. He turned around and glared at me
HARMONY'S POV: Since Adrain was back, I decided to go eat breakfast with him. I finally concluded that if, we can't get close then, it's best we fight all the time. I don't know what is holding him from being with me and accepting our marriage but, I don't want to always be awkward around him.I went inside and saw him at the dinning table eating pancakes. I sat opposite him and asked Gwen to get me mine. We were both chewing without saying a word when the doorbell rang. I wonder who it was. Gwen opened the door and a very slutty like lady came in. She was wearing a low cut neck line dress which extended to her belly button. The dress ended below her bum in such a way that if she bends over, her boobs will fall out and her booty will be on display.She walked over to us swaying her hips excessively. She had the longest legs I had ever seen. Who is she and who is she looking for. My questions were answered when she walked past me and went to kiss Adrain directly on his lips. Oh I gues
HARMONY'S POV:A month and two weeks has passed and my life is going great. We were preparing for Megan's wedding and she was freaking out because her gown won't fit. As her maid of honor and best friend, it's my duty to make sure everything goes as planned. To make matters worse, Adrain has kept to his promise by continually asking for my forgiveness. It isn't a bad thing but now isn't the right time but he won't understand.I had to take Meg's dress for fitting and Mark decided to break down. Adrain offered to give me a ride but I refused. I kept standing there and it was getting dark and finally accepted Adrian's offer. We finally got the dress to the seamstress and was heading back when his car broke down. You've got to be kidding me"You did this on purpose didn't you?" I got out of the car and he followed me"Of course not. I didn't know it was going to break down I promise. I'll try and fix it. Go into the car, it looks like it's going to rain" I went in without arguing.He ope
HARMONY'S POV:I asked Blake if I could get my old job back and he agreed immediately. So, I'm resuming work today.I got dressed in a black pencil skirt and white button down shirt tucked in. I paired the outfit with black stiletto heals and set out to Leave.I got to the office and everyone welcomed me back. Blake called me into his office and tried explaining why Adrian is his best man. I told him I was cool with it. The day dragged on a little too slowly for my liking. After closing I drove home. I got out of the car taking my bags when I heard his voice"H..harmony" I could never forget that voice. I turned swiftly to see if my ears were playing tricks on me and I was right. It was Adrain standing there looking as handsome as ever. He had grown a few beards making him more manly. Eww, I hated beards"Can we talk?" I just ignored him and continued getting my bag which is somehow stuck.I turned to leave but he held my arms. I glared at him and he immediately let go"We have noth
HARMONY'S POV:It's been a year (obviously) since I left New York without reaching any of my friends or family member except Megan. Have you guys forgotten about her, anyway she was the only one I told about my whereabouts and she didn't bother looking for me because she respected that I wanted to be alone and gather the pieces back together.I have been working as an assistant in Fkirokpompo company. I don't mean to brag but, I helped in bringing the company to where it is.I became more independent, I didn't have time for romance. It was just a waste of time and energy. I started dressing more like people from this century. If I should say so myself, I have become really hot. I now care about how I look and I appreciate myself.Deep down the reason I didn't want a relationship was because, I haven't quite gotten over Adrain. I know he might be married to Sofia now and they're probably expecting a baby by now but, I still wish I would find out that he had waited for me but, who am I
ADRAIN'S POV:It's been six months since Sofia and Harmony left and it has been horrible. I tried looking for both of them but all my efforts were futile. Harmony's parents came back from their vacation and was pissed. Her father landed a punch on my face.I promised aunt Martha that I would find her and I have but, it has been fruitless. It's like she vanished into thin air. Although, I managed to find Sofia two days ago and I plan on going to see her today after work.I asked my men to continue searching for her. I won't rest till I find her. What would you do if you find her?, My subconsciousness asked me. Well I don't know but, I do know one thing for sure. I'll never let her go, I'll cherish her and shower her with all my love cause she deserves it and more. I just hope it isn't too late for us***I drove to the neighborhood where I found out Sofia was staying. I checked my phone again to verify the address and house number. I found it with ease.I walked up to the house and
SOFIA'S POV:Harmony got up and left without saying anything not even a glance. That's it, I snapped"What is wrong with you?, She never said anything to me. On the contrary, she begged me to stay with you and that you'll never be able to love her. You know what Adrain? You don't deserve her or me. If you can raise your hands on her what happens when I make you angry? You'll hit me too?" My body was shaking from intense anger "S.. Sofie, y..you know I can never hurt you" he tried reaching for me but I pulled away. "NO!!, You're not the man I fell in love with. Harmony loves you unconditionally, she kept quiet when I came to the house knowing how much I mean to you. Not all women would let their husband bring home another woman but she did that because she wants you to be happy, but you Adrian, tell me what nice thing you have done for her?, You crossed the line today Adrian Ivan Stone. I'll rather go back to my stepfather than be with you" I walked away crying but gave him one fin
HARMONY'S POV:After Sofia left my room last night, I couldn't help but worry what would happen when Adrain finds out. Would this really be our chance to be happy and finally end up together or, would this bring the end of us. I kept tossing and turning due to my lack of sleep. So, I decided to go for a little strollI went to the balcony, staring at the beautiful night sky, wondering how my life would be if Adrain was in love with me or, if I would have been happy with someone else.I didn't even realize when someone came and sat close to me "I'm sorry Harmony" Adrian said sitting beside me. I remained silent"Look, I didn't mean to hurt you. You're a good person but, I'm sorry we can't be together. Sofia and I were supposed to get married six years ago. But, her stepfather was against our Union. He kidnapped her on our wedding day. I searched and searched for her until my men finally found her. Sofia means everything to me. Without her, I feel lost and lonely" I could see his love
HARMONY'S POV:I broke down in my room, crying my eyes out. I have never felt as broken as I feel right now. My heart felt like it was ripped out of my chest and I couldn't breathe.I cried for God knows how long, when my belly growled. I decided to take a shower. When I was done, I put on a long T-shirt that fell on top my knees.I went back down for breakfast only to see Adrain and Sofia having a nice breakfast together. I swiftly turned back to Leave when, Sofia called me back. "Please eat with us" I looked at Adrain who looked like he was sorry and regretful. Well, I wasn't good at reading people so it was probably my imagination playing tricks on me. Besides, why would he be sorry, I'm just an inconvenience to him. A parasite "I.. I don't want to ruin your moment" my voice soft and dry from all the crying. "Please stay" she insisted. I looked at her, no wonder Adrain loved her. She was not only beautiful, but also selfless and kind.I sat down across from them. The room in a
HARMONY'S POV:He kissed me so roughly. I tried pulling away and pushing him but, he didn't bulge so I gave up and kissed him back.Sucking and biting each other's lips while, he roamed his hands all over my body. I wrapped my legs around him as he carried me to the sofa.Laying me down gently, he started feasting on my neck and I gave him more access moaning non-stop like a broken record.I already forgot why I was angry in the first place as I undid his button. He finally let go of my lips "Not here" he stated huskily. He carried me to the room with his hands on my butt.When we finally got to the room, he continued kissing me kneading my ass in the process. He glided his left hand to cup my breast and squeezed it a little. I moaned loudly earning a low growl from him.Within seconds, we were already in bed naked and touching each other intimately. My hands gliding up and down his groin while he sucked on my already hardened nipples, fingering me in the process.It was a weird pos
MEGAN'S POV:After Harmony went for her honeymoon, Blake and I have sort of been seeing each other. We just hang out and chat. I find him really attractive and I like him. But the idiot has a crush on my best friend and won't admit it. "For the last time Megan, I do not have a crush on Harmony. We are just friends"- Blake "You're lying through your teeth and I don't believe you"- Megan"I don't know what you are talking about ok"- Blake. He turned away from me not wanting to look me in the eyes but, I knew I was right. "Fine, prove it. Prove to me that you don't love her"- Megan"H.. how" he stuttered a bit"KISS ME" he looked shocked but I needed him to prove it especially to me that he doesn't like her because I'm starting to go crazy for him "You can't right? I knew all along that you are a cow...." He slammed his lips on mine kissing me so passionately. I melted into his arms and kissed him back with equal passion. I don't know how long we kissed but, when we finally let
