Chapter 6
I avoided him during the entire dinner. I sat opposite him so that our body won’t be in contact and didn’t look up even once. Making an eye contact wouldn’t be good for me. I could feel his gaze burning through me.
Avoid it! Avoid it!
After dinner, I helped Mrs. Wilson wash the dishes. Nathan announced that he is
I woke up alone in the bed. He was not there beside me. Yesterday after he went inside the bathroom, I quickly climbed in my bed and fell asleep in a dreamless slumber. I felt the bed dip but I didn’t react much as I was too tired.I quickly freshened up and did my regular morning routine. I picked up a plain black dress and paired them up with black heels. I didn’t tie my hair as they were partially wet and I was running late. I quickly did my makeup and headed out.I was about to hail a taxi when the security guard came running outside and told me Nathan had arranged a car
After witnessing the awkward yet satisfying exchange between Michael and Nathan, I finally went back to my office and got back to work.Nathan didn’t disturb me at all with anything. His work is his first priority. I have never seen him fool around with any of his employees or even have friendly relationships. That is something I always admired about him. He was never a player. He had a steady girlfriend for a few years more like a mistress to him. He broke it off almost six months ago because she started becoming clingy and also spent a lot of his cash on stupid things.There was a knock on my door which brought me broke my train of tho
Tomorrow is my wedding day. I don't know why but I am actually feeling very happy. I was already 27, I wanted to be married by the time I was 30. I thought Michael would propose but he never bothered.Though the marriage is for convenience. I don't feel like it at all. We are getting married in a small but a very beautiful chapel. I told Nathan that I wanted a small wedding to which he agreed because a big wedding would gain too much of media attention.The last few days I was very busy- selecting my wedding dress, buying clothes and packing my bag for the honeymoon. We had to do it because the honeymoon would surely gain media coverage which
A tear slipped down my cheek.I was getting married today. I so wanted my parents to see this day, be beside me and help me through all the rituals. I quickly wiped my tears when I saw Mrs. Wilson tearing up."Oh god! My child! You look so beautiful! Nathaniel is the luckiest man alive!" She said dramatically as she wiped another tear. I giggled and suddenly I felt my nerves building up. I calm myself down and I look in the mirror. I looked exactly how I imagined I would on my wedding day. It was so perfect, almost surreal.
Just Married.Never thought it would happen so fast. Now I was standing beside Nathan, sipping on my champagne as unknown people approached and congratulated us. I saw Aaron and Victoria approaching us. My heart swelled with happiness as I enveloped her in an unexpected hug.“Wow! You look so beautiful Beth! Congratulations!” She said as she gave me a peck on my cheek and hugged me again.It’s been months since I last met her. I looked at Aaron and gave him a smile. He was a very handsome man but ne
I woke up after a really good night's sleep. I tried to stretch but then I realized I was enveloped around two strong arms. I looked up and saw Nathan sleeping peacefully. He looked so handsome. I still felt like I didn't deserve a man like him. I don't think I am ever going to get over that. But anyways this is just for a year. I have to keep reminding myself that this is not an actual marriage, it's going to be over in a year.He slowly opened his eyes and gave me a goofy smile, “So ready for round two?" He said in his deep husky sleepy voice. Fuck! He sounded so good. I feel like I am in a dream. I remember being in high school, being one of the girls who doodled his name on the back of my notebook and dreaming of being in same scenario in which I was
Wow! Landon Chambers just changed physically but he is the same guy otherwise. Still doesn't talk much, and keeps to himself. Landon grew up in a family where he had an evil stepdad who gave everything to his son and treated Landon is a harsh way.Now as we are sitting around the dining table with each other, I can understand where Nathaniel was coming from. Their relationship seemed superficial. Landon didn't try to hide the fact that it was superficial but Danika kissed him and held his hand while he showed no interest making everyone uncomfortable.I didn't eat much because if I did I know Danika would end up saying something. But even if I
Elizabeth PaigeA gentle shake woke me up. I looked up and it was Nathan touching my arm, mumbling something about the landing. I guess I had fallen asleep on the bed after the...ahem...little incident that happened.As I remembered the incident, blood rushed to my cheeks. I thought it was a dream but it shattered as I remembered Danika's exact words.Not attractive enough.Nathan l
Siya Rains Elizabeth and Nathan recently got married again because grandma made them. She wasn’t there at the first wedding which is why she made them do it again after the birth of their son, Ethan. Tonight was nothing different than the others. We were over at the Lachlan mansion to have our weekly dinner which the entire family joins in for.
Siya RainsI was standing just outside the court as the session was going to start in a few minutes. I turned around when I heard my name to see Victoria and Elizabeth, “Hey, what are you guys doing here?” I asked as I hugged both of them.“Oh it’s such a big case for Landon,
Siya RainsI was packing up all of my stuff, my class just got over and it was a double shift. I was behind on my portion so I had to take double classes to finish it thankfully none of the students complained.I heard a knock on my door, I quickly put in my markers and the t
Siya RainsI was so naïve, when he said let’s stay in our hotel room, I thought we’d talk and play some games but he didn’t have any mercy on me. I couldn’t look anyone in the hotel in the eyes when we left because I am pretty sure they heard me scream.I fe
Landon ChambersI looked over at her, I can’t believe what we just did. When she showed up I thought there would be some light teasing and then she would talk about the things I said last night. She probably can’t stop thinking about it, I know I can’t.She
Siya RainsAs I enter the building of Lachlan enterprises, I wondered how many enterprises they have around the world. I knew Landon was rich but he doesn’t really flaunt it, so whenever I see his office or his home I am taken aback.I go to the receptionist and tell her that
Siya RainsI sat on the balcony of my hotel room, enjoying the view from the 19th floor. When I woke up Landon was gone, he left a note saying he would be back from his meeting in a few hours. I don’t blame him for leaving, my head was spinning a little from the drinks last night, and I can’t imagine what he is going through considering he drank a lot more than me.
Siya RainsI sit on the bed and I see Landon’s phone beep, I had just come out of the shower and he went in. I was kind of surprised that he didn’t join me, I mean I didn’t want him to, but he never listens to anyone. I guess he was serious about the “break up” but why is he so obsessed with George? I need to find out. I mean George is nothing in front of Landon, no offence. I wasn’t happy with the fact that they got George involved. He has always been such a good guy to
Siya RainsAs I stood near the reception waiting for my key, I realized that the trip here wasn’t half as bad as I thought it would be. When I packed my bags I made sure all the papers related to the case or anything Paul could use against me were with me. I am going to make sure that Paul, when he reaches my place, is annoyed. He is going to be upset about the fact that I am not there and there are absolutely no proofs either.
