My arranged marriage: Emelda and Bryan. Chapter 60
Emelda's POV I was so tired that I drifted in and out of consciousness while waiting for Bryan. My mind and body weary from the day's events.Thoughts of my confrontation with Natasha and Bryan's confrontation with the strange woman from earlier running through my mind, cutting through my peaceful sleep. As I stretched, trying to kick out the wandering thoughts in my head. A car honk immediately sounded in the air, sending a chill all over me and jolting me up from the sofa. With my mind still foggy, my eyes quickly snapped open as I sat up in the luxurious sofa I had fallen asleep on, my body stiff as I rubbed the sleep from my eyes. I looked around the room for a while, as if trying to figure out my environment."What time is it?" I asked, my words slurred as I spoke, my voice tired and groggy as I muttered to myself. “I was supposed to be waiting for Bryan."As I glanced at the clock, the time mocked me as it clicked over to one in the morning. My still sleepy eyes widened in

Bryan's POV The warmth of the morning sun filtered through the curtains and bathed the room in a golden glow drying up the sleepiness from my eyes and making it to flutter openI slowly began to stir from a deep slumber, my eyes meeting first the sight of the familiar ceiling above me.I yawned and spread my arms, stretching out my limbs.“What time is it?" I rhetorically asked myself, my voice hoarse and groggy, " Why do I feel like I've been asleep for days."Tossing over the sheet that covered my muscular legs, I stared wearily around my environment, the memory of the previous night's events fuzzy and distant. “How did I get into this?” I wondered, my eyes fixed at myself in my pajamas. Immediately, I tried to sit up but a sharp bang of headache hit me like a freight train. Subconsciously, my eyes closed against the discomfort as I tried to ease the throbbing, my hand pressing against my forehead. I laid back on the bed for a while then tried to sit up again, this time, regard

Emelda's POV I stood in the kitchen, my hands at akimbo, and my lips formed into a smile as I stared at the bouquet of fresh herbs and spices in the kitchen sink. I drew closer, turned on the tap and began washing them thoroughly, excited that I was going to be preparing one of my grandmother's famous soups, which can also be used for a hangover remedy. I beamed as the aroma of the ingredients wafted up to my nose, “Hmmm, this smells just like those back then. Evergreen.” My lips curved into a smile for almost the upteempth time as I imagined Bryan's relief after tasting the brew.It was exactly six in the morning when I woke up. I was too worried for Bryan that I couldn't sleep. I had stayed almost all night watching him. As I got lost in the process, my mind wandered back to the discovery I made after Bryan had passed out the night before. The thought made my heart leap, and I couldn't help but let a smile creep onto my face. I was pregnant!With a deep breath, I held onto my

Emelda's POV“Hello,... Uhhmm okay… Yes, yes, it's fine. Okay, I’ll be there.” Bryan's voice rang in the room as he answered the call, his voice filling the room with its resonant tone.I watched him quietly, my body still and composed as I waited for him to finish his conversation so that I can go ahead to reveal the great news of having a baby together. My eyes studied his face, my gaze gentle as I took in the expressions that crossed his features, there was a slight furrow on his brow as he listened, then as the call went on, his previously tightened jaw loosened and a soft smile appeared on his face.Subconsciously, I smiled too as I waited for him to round up the call.Bryan said a few words just before the conversation on the phone drew to a close. His words were more gentle as he said his final farewell than when he had started.Immediately after the call, he dropped the phone to bed and turned towards me, his face was lighted as his lips formed into a smile I had not seen on

Casandra’s POVIt was exactly eight in the morning when I blinked my eyes open, the light filtering through the white cotton curtains, casting and spreading warmth across the room. I stretched out on my plush, king-sized bed, and for the first time in a long time, I felt a strange surge of energy flow through me. It was an electric excitement that filled me. Energetically, I swung my legs over the side of the bed after tossing aside the duve that covered my slim legs.I sat up, stared through the half closed window and realized that this morning felt different from the others. For some reason, it felt the sun was giving out extra energy and glow through its early morning rays because even the plants standing in their clay pot stood still, branches raised high in purpose.With my mind plotting the schedule and activities of the day, I stood up from the bed, my feet sinking into the soft carpet as I made my way across the room, my mind already buzzing with the possibilities of the da

Cassandra's POVI stood silent for a while before Emelda, my expression unfriendly as I scanned to check if she was alone. The tension between us mounted as Emelda too stared back with unspoken words. Her expression morphed from one of shock which it had earlier when I collided with her to one of sternness as she looked at the one who had bumped into her–me.“Excuse me, but do you mind watching where you're going?" Emelda finally spoke, her expressions neutral. My face hardened as I took in Emelda's stern tone, my own temper rising as I felt insulted."Hey! Better watch it? Don't act so high and mighty, when you are nothing near to high or mighty. Maybe you should have moved when you saw me coming instead of standing in the way like a stupid traffic cone." I snarled, my voice cold and scathing as I rolled my eyes. Emelda's eyes narrowed almost simultaneously at me too, biting response, her own irritation rose to meet mine as she retorted, her voice low and razor-sharp.“Excuse me?

Bryan's POV The elation from signing the deal with the investor was still coursing through my veins when seated in the driver's seat of my Roll Royce, I reached for my phone.I wanted nothing more than to share the news first hand with Emelda. With my fingers flying across the screen of my phone, I dialed Emelda's number, my heart racing with excitement as I waited for her to pick up.But to my disappointment, the phone rang and rang, Emelda not picking up despite my persistent efforts."Come on, Emelda, pick up," I muttered under my breath, a sense of urgency and impatience creeping into my tone.I dialed it three more times but no reply. Soon, I began to grow increasingly worried, my mind racing with scenarios as I quickly called our driver, my voice brimming with anxiety."Hello, this is Bryan.” I answered casually, “Is Emelda still with you? Did you make it to the mall?"As we spoke, the driver confirmed that they had indeed gone to the mall. My pulse quickened, my fingers drumm

Bryan POVAs the first rays of dawn filtered through the curtains, I awoke with a start, the memories of the previous pleasant night still fresh in my mind.With a smile, I turned to Emelda who was still laying beside me quietly, "Emelda, are you awake?" I uttered sweetly. Emelda stirred beside me, a yawn escaping her lips as she stretched her arms above her head, I turned towards her, the corners of my mouth curling into a smile again as I spoke."Good morning, my love. Did you sleep well?"Emelda's eyes fluttered open, her gaze softening as she looked up and focused on me, she responded with a small laugh, her fingers brushing the hairs on my bare and exposed chest."Good morning, darling. I slept like a baby, thanks to you and your magical cooking."“Well, I am a good chef afterall and what better way is to unleash that great skill than on the one I love.” I gushed, a wide smile on my face. “Okay!!!! Time to start the day.” Emelda let out, her tone vibrant and sharp, all traces o

Bryan's POVImmediately, I reached out to Emelda, my hand on her arm as I tried to calm her, my words soft and reassuring as I spoke. "We have to trust the police, hun." After much struggle, I was able to calm her down as she listened to my words. “Will we get them back?” She asked, her words not seeking an answer but a strong reassurance. “We will hun. We will.” I answered. Taking Emelda by the hand, we sat on the long bench at the waiting area. “No, I can't wait anymore.” Emelda voiced as she suddenly stood up. She was scared and frustrated. “It's either you and your team move in now or be prepared to have a dead woman in your station.” Emelda threatened, her eyes red hot. As Emelda's words echoed through the station, the officer's demeanor changed, his face tense and focused as he nodded to his colleagues, his words quick and decisive as he ordered them to take action.Within minutes, the police had mobilized, their cars speeding through the streets as they headed towards Nat
My arranged marriage: Emelda and Bryan. Chapter 92
Bryan's POV Emelda and I sat shocked and confused for a while as we tried to process the information we had just heard. “What do you mean?” Emelda asked, her eyes still widened in shock as she stood up abruptly, panic and fear evident in her eyes. “Kids, what kids?" I asked, my voice trembling with emotion as I stood by Emelda's side, totally lost. I forgot Emelda had broken the news about her pregnancy a few months after we had separated. "Our kids, Martha and Marco," Emelda answered, her calm voice turning sharp. Ignoring Emelda's outburst which was obviously due to the emotions whirling up in her inside, I turned to face the driver who had delivered the news. His face was pale and drawn as he stood before us, he was shaking from too much adrenaline brought about from the fear he felt. “When and where did this happen?” I asked, my voice cracking as I tried to gather any information that could be helpful. "Just an hour ago," the driver said, his voice barely audible as

Bryan's POV I sat in the silence of the living room after making sure my house was rid of Cassandra and every single thing Cassandra owned. With anger still coursing through me, I sat rigid as I stared blankly at the television in front of me. My mind drifted as the images flashed on the screen, the light from the LED screen washing over my face as I sat in contemplation.As much as I tried to follow through with the show on the television, my thoughts instead turned to Emelda, the woman I had loved and lost, her face floating in the darkness of my mind as I thought about where she might be.I closed my eyes, the memories of Emelda swirling in my mind as I remembered the past, the feelings of love and happiness we had shared before everything had gone wrong, before I had pushed her away.As irritation towards myself grew, I sighed, sat up and reached for the remote control. I muted the television and sat alone in silence with my thoughts in the room. I had to think well and fast.

Bryan's POV “Sir, the company's truck we ordered has been delivered.” My assistant, Shan, spoke over the phone as we spoke. “Oh really?” I replied, my tone calm and professional. “I will join you downstairs soon, I need to inspect it myself.” I added just before ending the call. It's been over two years and I was excited with the accomplishments and heights the company has risen to. As I stood up from my comfortable wheeled chair and began walking towards the door, my eyes fell on the picture of Jonathan on the left side of the wall. Although sad, I smiled. I felt fulfilled and happy that I had made him proud. With a smile still on my face, I reached out for the doorknob, opened it and exited my office for the parking lot underground.I met Shan at the doorway leading to the parking lot. Without a word, he joined me as I descended the stairs. As we walked towards the truck, we heard voices of two ladies discussing. Shan gave me a look as we found out that one of those ladies w

"Good morning, my little angels," I answered back, my voice soft and gentle as I knelt down to hug and greet them, my fingers brushing against their soft, chubby cheeks as I kissed them each in turn.The t

Emelda's POV My heart shattered into a million pieces as I watched Bryan and Cassandra walk away, my vision blurry with tears as I tried to process what was happening. “Why was Bryan with Cassandra? Are they now together?” I thought, my mind dazzled with confusion and I stood, rooted to the spot. As I continued to stare at them, this time with their backs facing me, I pondered in my mind as I tried to understand why Bryan had betrayed me, why he had chosen Cassandra over me. Why couldn't he just believe my own words? I thought two people in love are supposed to trust each other too? I felt a sob rip through me, my body shaking with grief as I leaned against a wall, my hands pressed to my face as I wept. "Why, Bryan?" I whispered, my voice breaking as I stared after them, the pain and loss tearing through me like a storm. I was numb with grief, my thoughts spinning as I stood there, my body shaking with sobs as the world around me seemed to fade away. To think that Bryan wasn

Emelda's POV The streets were bustling with activity, the sound of car horns and street vendors calling out their wares echoing through the air. I moved through the crowds, my eyes scanning the faces of the people around me as I headed towards the park. The buildings in that environment were old and rundown, the paint peeling and the windows cracked as I walked past, the scent of exhaust and garbage filling my nostrils. I kept my head down, my shoulders hunched as I avoided the stares of the men on the street, their leers and whistles making my skin crawl. After a few more minutes of walking, I came closer to the park. Sighting the bus I was about to leave, I broke into a run, my heart pounding in my chest as I dodged the people on the sidewalk, my breath coming in short gasps. "Wait!" I shouted, my voice raw with desperation as I reached the bus stop, waving my arms frantically at the driver. The bus slowed, the brakes screeching as it came to a stop, and I climbed aboard F

My head was pounding as I leaned back in the passenger seat, the world around me spinning as the cab pulled away from Cassandra's house. "Idiot," I muttered, my voice low and venomous as I glared out the window into the quiet street."What the hell were you thinking?"I ran my hands through my hair, my mind racing as I tried to remember what had happened.“Oh! The bar. I guess I got so drunk,” I recalled my jaw clenching as the memories of the previous night and the videos I received came rushing into my mind.The thoughts of Cassandra and me in an intimate position crossed my mind and immediately my heart cringed. “Gosh! I just hope nothing like that happened.” I let out as I ran my palm across my face. "Cassandra," I growled, my jaw clenching again as I recalled her face last night, her voice, her touch. "She was all over me, practically dripping with seduction."I shook my head, disgusted with myself. "I should have been smarter," I muttered. "I should have resisted her."But I h

Emelda's POV “My child… My child, Emelda.” The old woman's voice rang out in the small room she used as her sitting room, piercing through my thoughts as I stared lost in thoughts into the unfamiliar streets. I flinched as she touched me, bringing me back to the present. I quickly covered the curtain and sank into a nearby wooden seat by the side, fear and uncertainty flooding back into my mind."Are you okay, child?" the woman asked, her voice gentle and kind as she moved her hands from my shoulder to my head, a look of concern etched across her weathered face."I… I…I'm fine," I murmured, my voice shaking slightly as I tried to gather my composure. "I'm just worried about everything that has been happening, and my husband isn't picking up my calls.""I'm sorry, dear," the old woman said, her voice soft and apologetic. "I know you're worried about your husband, but you need to take it easy, remember the baby’s life is at risk."I nodded, my mind still clouded with worry as I locked
