Chapter One

~Veronica Beckham.“Thank you, Mr. Donald,” I said with a wide smile as I took the keys from him. “You finally paid off after three months eh.” The old man said with a friendly chuckle that made me release one of my own. “It took me everything I had,” I said as I raised the key to my eye level, inspecting it with love. I had been borrowing Mr. Donald's car to work every day since we moved to Manhattan and I finally brought it from him. It's mine now. “I'm glad you decided to sell it to me,” I told him as I patted his shoulder. “Yeah right, I don't drive it that much anyway, and besides, that old hag keeps complaining that you're coming every morning.” He said the last part in a whisper and jerked his thumb toward the fence where his wife was lurking. I smiled at Mrs. Donald when we locked eyes and she narrowed her eyes at me. “She is healthier these days,” I commented as I looked ahead at the empty street. “Of course, she's started taking her medications and ignoring my pies...

Chapter Two
~Veronica Beckham. I downed the third cup of water Reese handed to me and crushed the paper cup in my hands. "This is bad. This is very, very bad." I said hitting the crushed cup on my desk making a few heads turn to look at us."Sorry about that!" Reese apologized on my behalf with an awkward chuckle. "This is fucked up in many ways, Reese. This can't happen." I said to Reese in a slightly panicked voice as I tried to control my emotions. I know very well that crying isn't going to help."I know Vee, the decisions haven't been made yet but that's what everyone's been saying. Even the press!" She exclaimed."But, he just died! How could they even think of the company? They should at least focus on his funeral or something." I complained, feeling my stomach churn from anxiety."The company has to carry on with or without him, Vee. This is just not working out the way it was supposed to." Reese said, grabbing a random chair to sit beside me. "What about your application? You haven't

Chapter Three
~Arthur CallaghanThere were a lot of things one had to go through in life. One had to face the struggle of growing up, one had to face the struggle of the process of growing up, one had to struggle to do every damn thing and it was frustrating.Life was supposed to be easy for the rich, like wasn't that why they made the money? But for fuck’s sake, why the hell did rich people have to have a money-hungry self-obsessed villain of a relative that just causes problems?That was crap! I refused to live my life like a book written by a fantasy-living teenager. I was twenty-eight, not eighteen. “Mom I am not letting that money-hungry dwarf take what’s mine from me, for a fucking absurd reason” I raised my voice for the third time while I try to fix the fucking tie that keeps tangling. I groaned in frustration.“Language Arthur, your father just died and I need you to calm down. At least for me. This is also hard for me as it is hard for y-“ She began to sob lightly and I sighed. “Listen

Chapter Four
- Veronica Beckham I thought my ears were hearing things or did he just say he's Mr. Carson's Son? He was the fucking Authur Callaghan, the CEO's only son? Shit! I was rude to him. What a nice way to finally lose my job. Hold up! Did he just say he wanted to marry me? This was a big joke, Today was really just not my day. “Look okay, I’m sorry for being rude to you but I have to go now”, I turned to walk away but he yanked me back. “Ouch! What’s up with you and my hands?” I glared at him. I really should stop being rude to him, he’s my boss now. “Yes you shouldn’t”, he said, letting my hands go. “Did I say that out loud again?”, My face flushed with embarrassment. “Yes, but look, I don’t have time to waste, I need you to marry me. See this as a win-win for both of us, I overheard your phone call with–”, I didn’t let him finish. “So you were eavesdropping on me?” Who’s the rude one now? “It wasn’t intentional. As I was saying, you desperately need money and I desperately

Chapter Five
Arthur grabbed my hands again as we walked out of the building. All eyes were on us and I could hear whispering voices. The parking Valet handed his car keys to him, and he opened the door for me, “I’m not entering your car except you tell me where we’re going. “Stop being difficult and get in the car, I’m not trying to kidnap you. Even if I wanted to, you wouldn't be able to pay the ransom fees”, He said to me coldly as he slightly nudged me forward. I got in and he closed the door harshly. God, please give me the strength to be able to hold my tongue. If he disrespected me one more time, I would give it to him. I relaxed into the chair a little bit, my tense body starting to hurt, my shoulder especially, but I couldn't afford a massage. Opening my bag I checked my phone and truly, there was a message from an unknown number, I clicked it and read, Unknown: “Meet me in my office at lunch break. Unknown: Where are you? I’m coming to your office now! How rude! Such a commanding

Chapter Six
~Veronica Beckham A few tears escaped from my eyes, not because of the sweet words that came out of his mouth but because of the fairytale dreams I had about love that just went down for money. A lot of people approached us to say their congratulations. I felt so used. "Can we go?", I mumbled, putting my things into my bag. "Yeah", he signaled the waitress to bring the bill. Mrs. Greta came instead, "It's on the house dear, it's not every time we get a proposal here", she chuckled. "Why aren't you happy?" She looked at me. "I am, I'm just overwhelmed", I giggled. Arthur offered me his hand and I took it, plastering a fake smile at him. "We'll see you next time, we have to continue our celebration at home." We said our goodbyes and left the shop. I couldn't stand him, so I walked ahead. Immediately we got inside the car Arthur spoke, " Why do you always ask questions? You almost ruined my proposal?" He yelled. "You caught me off guard, a little heads up would have been nice inste

Chapter Seven
I could see Lilian peeping through the window of our house. I went inside and she didn’t even let me breathe before drowning me in questions.“I can’t believe you’ve been dating Arthur Fucking Callaghan all this time!“Language Lilly”, I scolded, throwing my bag on the sofa, I crouched down to take off my shoes, placing them on the shoe rack.She totally ignored me and carried on ranting.“And we’ve been suffering. You’re engaged to the country's most handsome rich bachelor Vee! How the hell did you not tell me? I’m your favorite sister!”, she whined.“You’re my only sister and sibling, chill”“That’s all you heard with all I just said?”, she frowned.My mom walked into the living room, at least she’ll come save me from Lilly, “Don’t you have homework to do?”, she eyed my sis.“I have done it and also all my chores so nope I won’t be left out of this conversation”, she held her head up high, standing her ground.“Fine! We wanted it to be private alright, he’s like a celebrity, he want

Chapter Eight
~Arthur CallaghanI woke up to good news today, Veronica signed the contract, she could not say no. After I asked her to marry me on impulse, I did a background check on her to know if she was in great need of money enough to accept my offer.It would have been stupid of her not to, her family would be in jeopardy if she didn’t sign the contract. All that was left for me was to plan. We both arrived at the office at the same time, I watched her step out of her deadbeat car and handed her keys to the valet. I wondered how she drove that thing in the condition it was in.She greeted me without looking at me and instead of entering the same elevator with me, she went to the next one. I think she was intentionally avoiding me. She couldn't do that all day.We were supposed to have lunch together today at a cafe where I planned to propose to her. Time wasn’t on my side, I had to get my father’s company from that man.I went to a Tiffany and Co. jewelry store to get the ring yesterday. I d

Chapter Nine
Veronica gawked at me and I could see the wheels turning in her head. I wondered what was on her mind, probably trying to process what I just said.“Why are you staring?”“Nothing, just waiting for your response. What do you mean by today? I don’t even have a ring on my finger”, she said bluntly, wriggling her fingers in my face.“That can be sorted now”I brought out the small blue box from my pocket and opened it. Her eyes widened, and she clamped her hands over her mouth in shock. She starts to shake her head in denial, “I can’t take this”, she uttered, pushing it back to me.The few customers gasped in surprise, waiting for the speech and her response.“What do you mean you can’t? It’s part of the contract”, I whispered closely to her ear, so the onlookers wouldn’t overhear. She looked at me in confusion, I looked left and she followed my signal to see people with their phones out and Greta smiling with tears shining in her eyes. I never thought I could kneel to profess my love to

Chapter 10
~Arthur Callaghan My phone started to ring and it was my mum. I was sure she had heard of the news and was pissed. I picked up the call. "Hey Mom""What's this I am hearing about you proposing" she yelled.I moved the phone slightly away from my ear. Geez woman! Calm down, don't blow my eardrums."I'm heading to the house, I'll explain when I get there."I hung up, changing direction to go home instead of heading back to the office, I too deserved a break from all this.~~ I pulled up to the mansion gate where my family lived, did a face scan and the gate opened. I was greeted by two bodyguards, Rodriguez and Leo. They had been in this family for a long time. This house reminded me of good memories which now caused me pain because my dad wasn't with us anymore. We didn’t really get along, but he was a good man, a good wife to my mum, and father to my sister. The last conversation we had wasn’t good, I wish I could see him one more time to make things right. I would avenge his
