My scam marriage: It is real. Chapter 25 – Pre wedding jitters.
[Kaleah POV] I cannot understand why that man came back to my life, just a few weeks ago he snorted at my very existence and now he claims to love and care for us. ‘Knock-knock-knock’ “Who is it?” I shout softly, the Becketts must be really tired of my problems by now. “Your fiancé,” “Oh…” wait Clayton visiting my room? Why, “come in,” I say with a low tone. After father left last time, I stormed to my room and locked it. I cried my eyes out the whole night, Cyan took care of Zoey for me. “Hey…” he said softly, walking in. “Hi.” “Are you okay?” wow he came to my room this early to ask if I was, okay? “I am fine Clayton I was just overwhelmed last night that is all. You are getting ready for work?” I ask, he was dressed in his usual formal attire. “Not really, there is an urgent matter you and I have to sort out.” I can feel my mouth dry up, oh what, is he cancelling the marriage? Of course, this is the only way to clear his dirtied reputation. “Oh…” “This might be a bit
My scam marriage: It is real. Chapter 26 – Loose ends
[Third person POV] He had thought he had done a good job leaving his dead wife after she gave him yet another girl, a useless girl. After hearing about her death, he thought good riddance another useless woman who can’t give him a single son. When he saw his daughter holding her sister that day, he had snorted at them, yes there was a time he loved her, the time where those paintings were selling like hot cakes and the money were enough to take his precious legal wife, Josephine, out on vacations. “What did she say?” Josephine asked her husband, “how much is for dowry?” He could not help but feel like a failure when he saw videos of her and Clayton Beckett on gossip sites, he had thought the heavens were given him a sign. “She chased me out, but worry not I will get the money,” he watches his wife pouting, they had been running low on money since both do not have a job at the moment. “You need to fix this Oren’s fees are very expensive we need our son to go to the best school.

[Third person POV] Hailee had been pacing since she saw the news of Clayton getting married, it was unheard of, they said they would marry in a month. “Love I think it is time you give up, she is his wife now and you cannot do anything to her.” her father says, but Hailee’s reaction altogether made him nervous. “Are you insane, the is always divorce okay, ugh…..., I will have to crash that gathering they have tomorrow, then I would deal with her decisively.” Though she was warned enough times, for some reason she still felt like Clayton was still in love with her, thus she didn’t believe his retaliation would be that extreme. [Kaleah POV] Again, I have locked myself in the room after that embarrassing fall, I think I should stay here for a while. It seems to be busy outside since I woke up, it has been noisy. “Unlock this door Leah, we need to get your dress ready,” I hear Cyan outside the door, “open this door or I will talk to insane Conan to knock this door down.” I sigh be

My scam marriage: It is real. Chapter 29 – Main event.
[Clayton POV] I cannot believe this witch is testing me yet again, how dare she do this, but before they could even say a thing Joshua the best lawyer and friend had already nip it in the butt. “Seems no one objects you may continue father,” the priest seems to not want to continue with the wedding, ugh, must be someone Hailee hired. “Listen here fool, if you do not continue with this ceremony this will be the last ceremony you do, I can promise you that.” I warned him. Kaleah’s hands had gotten sweaty with anxiety, and I could feel how she was now second guessing this, ugh, I sure need to clean out those roaches, they seem to not know how devious I could be. “Um… if he doesn’t…...” “Oh, he will officiate the wedding Leah, don’t stress yourself.” I reassure her, glaring at the dumb priest.

Who even thought this was a good idea?“But isn’t it a bit too much? I am sure Clayton doesn’t want me to come along.“Actually, he is waiting for you downstairs, he also ordered to have your stuff moved to his room as you are his precious wife,” Cyan says with so much pride.“But… Cyan, how am I…...”“Don’t worry, I oversaw the lingerie preparations, so you are good for the night.”Whoa, this is going a bit too fast, like we just got married like a fe
My scam marriage: It is real. Chapter 31 – Morning after and morning voices.
I wake up feeling the warmth from my husband’s body, with a call. A video call, early in the morning. “Cyan!” I groan, can’t I just be with my husband without her calling me. “Morning Cyan,” I say with a drowsy voice, she widens her eyes as she sees I am completely naked. “Oh…. So, you took my advice,” she said smugly. “What advice? Ugh… can you call a bit latter, I need some rest,” “Of course, you do with all those activities you naughty children were up to,” Melisa chimes in, and I am completely embarrassed. “We wanted to ask if you are having breakfast at home, but we can clearly see you two need more alone time,” Cyan winks at me with this devilish smirk, “guess one thing is off your bucket list, huh.” “Cyan can you not!” I shouted embarrassed. “Since breakfast table will be just aunt, uncle, grandma and Zoey and me.” Cyan says. “Where is Conan?” “I don’t know, he didn’t sleep at home last night,” Cyan shrugs, “enough about us, let talk about you and your night of passio
