My scam marriage: It is real. Chapter 11 – Blind dates are cursed.
When choosing dresses, they had finally landed at a green one strap dress that had everyone’s approval. And even as she adorns it tonight, she still feels unworthy of the dress. She needs to leave quickly before Clayton sees her, she does admit that she can see him flirt with her, but she will never admit being attracted to him. “So, if the man ends up being someone you don’t like what will you do?” Cyan asks. “It is not possible; Melisa sang him praises I doubt I would hate him.” This makes Cyan smirk before asking “even if it my brother?” “What? Why? How? Um…” Cyan is dumbstruck at Kaleah’s reaction, maybe their chemistry really is fatal, Kaleah takes a breath before replying, “I doubt your grandmother would set her precious grandson with an undocumented immigrant who has no job and is a single parent. Clayton wouldn’t accept the relationship; he has a girlfriend.” A nonchalant reply, one would believe Kaleah, well Cyan did fall for the trap several times by believing that Kalea
My scam marriage: It is real. Chapter 12 – Maybe blind dates are not so cursed
(Clayton’s POV) This must be some joke; my grandmother had said she chose someone suitable for me. But instead, the person is one who avoids me and shuts me down when I flirt with her. Was this all a ploy, did she successfully use my sister to get into our family? I finally found a flaw in her; I had thought she was innocent but instead she had been planning to force me into marrying her. If she just reciprocated my feelings when I flirt, then she would have had to use Cyan. “Tsk, grandmother said she found me a good partner.” “Well, the thing is, I had… I had…...” she tries to explain but it all comes out disingenuous. “I had fell for you at first sight.” She lies, she sweetly lies with her little pink lips, her green eyes shake at the dishonest words she had just said. “So, when I fell in love with you, I... I was too shy to approach you directly and you have a girlfriend and then grandmother produced this plan.” She gulps, her lies becomes plausible with every word or maybe it
My scam marriage: It is real. Chapter 13 – Wifely and Husbands duties.
As we walked out of the restaurant, I started to wonder why Kaleah was getting nervous again. Turns out, in grandmother’s whole plan she had assumed that Kaleah and I would be on good terms enough to not send her a driver to take her home. Yes, I know, how smart of her. “I will call a taxi; you do not have to drive me home.” She shyly exclaimed, the more she speaks, the more she exposes her true feelings. She still avoided my gaze and would stop at nothing to be away from me, it sends a sharp pain in my heart. “I do not mind driving you home, I am sure letting my fiancé who was stalked, walk home wouldn’t make me a good partner would it?” “But you have prior engagements you need to rush to” she flashes a genuine smile, a smile I wish she would causally show me, “I can always call Cyan to come pick me up.” I pause to examine her for a moment, though she still was physical anxious, her trembling fingers fondling with her purse profoundly. Her eyes radiated confidence, and so did he
My scam marriage: It is real. Chapter 14 – Exes should be axed
(Kaleah POV) The date had been a slight success, one Clayton did not kill me, which is something I had thought he would after the story Cyan told me where he killed his parent’s killer. “How was the date?” As soon as I enter the house, I am greeted by Conan’s prying face and Cyan’s enthusiastic face. I had known Conan for a little while now and though he had grown on me, his mischievous nature tends to be too much sometimes. “You set me up like that and you expect a good outcome?” I immediately pouted at them, it would have been nice if they warned me about the identity of my date, but no I had to find out by meeting the devil himself, without prior preparations. “Don’t lie to us, we all know how Clayton looks at you like some angel.” “That doesn’t mean he want to marry me,” I defended, “he is probably just infatuated and just wants to bed me.” “Clayton infatuated?” they both say in union before laughing to my face, these fools. “So, when is the wedding.” Conan asks. “I don’t
My scam marriage: It is real. Chapter 15 – Wedding bells?
“Morning, I didn’t find you when I woke up, I was worried.” He said, not even addressing the elephant in the room. “I went out to ask the doctor why Zoey hadn’t woken up” I explained, he still looked nonchalant about punching James in the face, yes, he punched him. I could see his hand turn red from the impact of the punch. I had explained how I wanted to buy breakfast but didn’t have any money to do so, when Lola in her nursing uniform rushed to nurse her poor fiancé with a bleeding nose back to health. “You idiot how dare you hurt my Jamie.” She scolds, but when her eyes meet Clayton’s eyes her confidence decreases exponentially. She helps James to his feet, and Clayton still looks disgusted at James. It was a rather territorial vibe Clayton was giving. “How dare you punch me?” “I punched you?” Clayton act nonchalantly, “I thought I hit a bug that was busy hovering my fiancé’s face, Leah has a sensitive skin, a small bite and she might be admitted to ICU. Bear with me I am just
My scam marriage: It is real. Chapter 16 – Wedding and murder plans?
“Isn’t two months a bit too soon.” Cyan is the one who helps me object, but she was quickly silenced by Melisa and Clayton who didn’t want to postpone.“We need to plan the wedding soon; these lovebirds just cannot wait.” Melisa enthusiastically said earning a nod of approval from Clayton.It seems however we disapproved we were not going to get through them, so I thought of a safe and easy compromise.“Can we keep it lowkey?” I see both Melisa and Clayton freeze at my suggestion, Melisa was not one to curb her extravagant, Cyan had told me that at least. “I really don’t want to attract too much attention to our marriage, given it will also be too quick for Clayton to move on from Hailee.”“But I never went public with my relationship with Hailee.” Clayton reason, trying his best to not curse at me, I know that because his eyes refuse to meet mine.“I am sorry for that, maybe this will make up for our sudden marriage.”Though Melisa wasn’t on board with this new development, she could

It had been a week since they decided on getting married, it had been a chaotic week. Well, it was their first marriage so it was given they would be confused, and all over the place while planning their wedding. “Ugh, I really think we should just go to the courthouse and get it over with.” Kaleah grumbles, she had left Zoey with Melisa again in order to go meet a wedding planner since the previous one had a terrible attitude. “Don’t worry Leah we will find a better wedding planner.” Cyan speaks happily, she had been so happy about planning Kaleah’s wedding so much she accompanies her to every appointment with regards to the wedding. “If we do not find a wedding planner by the end of this week, I am asking Clayton to go to the courthouse with me.” “You are so mean; I just want to see you in a wedding dress.” Cyan pouts, “don’t worry, this one is the best one, she planned our parents wedding.” “Ah… is that so” Kaleah sighs, “will it be okay for her to plan our wedding? Wouldn’t it

[Third person POV] “Um... no, I am actually here to see Mr. Beckett.” Kaleah says unconfidently. The two women laughs at her before one saying, “please go back home we are not a fanservice company.” “Do you have an appointment?” the man asks. “Well, no, but the receptionist said gave us permission to visit.” Kaleah explains, “Cyan said I should come here.” With that two of the women there had laughed at her before saying, “please come up with another act, that one is overused.” “But I am not lying, I am…a family friend.” She says innocently, the three are resistant but one of the secretaries says. “Okay Miss, what is please write your name and surname here and I will take you to Mr. Beckett.” The three gasps at her, “Miss Collins what are you doing?” they all say in union. “Well, we did get a go ahead from reception that Miss Beckett is here with a friend.” Miss Collins says, taking the form and pen from Kaleah. While se escorts Kaleah, she hopes her gut feeling didn’t is rig

What are you talking about?” their mother asked. “Kaiden decided to meet Ellen Mule,” their father says in a growl. They had never felt so sacred, it was clear they knew about Ellen Mule and his family, it was clear they knew Kaiden was not a Beckett.

Meanwhile the two women kept giggling as Kaiden was transferring money to them, it made Kai’s skin crawl because it felt like they were just using him. “Okay, now let us go rescue your father,” Crystal says happily, Kaiden frowned. “No, I will contact you soon, I need time to think,” Kaiden says making Kai heave a sigh of relief, at least he was not being reckless. “Oh… why is that?” Layla asked confused, “are you having second thoughts?” Kaiden looked at them deflated, he felt like these two women wanted to suck all his energy dry, he would have not mind helping free his father if everything didn’t seem too suspicious. “I want to think about it,
