View MoreMarlowe's POV What was meant to be a night of pleasure, turned out as a night in which my woes began. If I was told that I was going to meet Callum after our one time meeting, I wouldn't have believed. It was a one night thing where both of us would go out separate ways after all. This had been the partners with others, why is it that my turn was different. Why was it hard for me to do something and go scot free with it? All through dinner, I kept casting Callum side glances as my heart rammed against my chest in a quick succession. Father must have heard my heavy breathing since he was seated next to me but he chose to remain mute.Shutting my eyes, I took in a deep breath as I couldn't wait for dinner time to be over. My plan was to run off from all these.I wanted to run off to a place where no one knows me and so it would be easy for me to start a new life there without anyone judging me. Unfortunately for me, after dinner, they all left the table like it was planned befor
Callum's POV “You’ve got to be kidding me, this can't be true.” I muttered under my breath as my mother announced, “Callum, you're meeting your bride earlier than planned. She's arriving tonight.”I became furious, wondering who could be the bride she was referring to; this whole arranged marriage was already a nightmare. And now, they were speeding it up? “I don't want to meet her tonight,” I said flatly, glaring at my mother.“You don't have a choice, Callum. This is for the family, and you’ve to comply with our decisions.” She said with that stern tone she always used to get her way.Hours later, I heard the commotion downstairs; her arrival. I reluctantly left my room dragging my feet as I walked down the down staircase.Then I saw her.My jaw clenched as recognition hit me like a freight train. It was her—the girl from last night. The one I’d shared an impulsive, reckless night with at the club. She stood there, looking as stunned as I felt, her eyes darting nervously toward
Marlowe’s POVThe sunlight streaming in through the open curtains woke me up. The sound of someone breathing caused me to turn to my side. A surprising sense of calm washed over me as I realized where I was. The memory of last night came to me in a rush. The feel of Callum’s fingers on my skin, his tongue in my mouth and his dick deep in my hungry wet pussy. I remembered the way he had looked at me as he had brought me unexplainable pleasure akin to the warmth of a raging fire.I remembered how everything had started. The bar had been dimly lit when we got in. We had gone to the counter and Callum had ordered four shots of whatever, sliding one glass across, to me.“Drink up,” he told me. I did as he asked, downing the liquid in one goal. Whatever it was burned down my throat to my belly. "Here, have another." He slid me another glass and I took it."Cheers to escaping hell." He said while raising his glass.“Cheers to that.” I muttered before I downed the shot in one go.“What wa
Marlowe’s POV"Sign the document." He said to me as I stared at both of them. He climbed out of bed naked and wrapped a robe around himself."What is this about?" I asked him in a shaky voice as a premonition came over me.“Are you afraid of the paper?” Tessy said to me with a sneer as her lips curled into a smirk. She stood and came to me, her breasts bare, nipple pointing as she pushed the envelope across the table towards me. “Are you frightened, Miss Marlowe?”“I am not afraid.” I said but my voice shook as it betrayed my inner resolve that I tried so hard to muster.“Are you sure about that?” Derek chimed in. His smirk was as venomous as his so-called sister. “I said I am not scared!” I said as my fingers curled into fists. “It is just a document, Marlowe. Sign it and let everything be over. Or maybe you are too weak to handle what you know is coming for you.” He added with a mocking tone.“Then open it.” Tessy leaned forward, with malice shining in her eyes. “Do you need me t
Marlowe’s POV“Are you okay?” The nurse asked as they rolled the gurney down the hallway of the hospital. “Please call my husband.” I cried, grasping the edge of the gurney as regret washed through me. If I had known this was going to be the outcome of the whole ordeal, I wouldn’t have stepped out at all. “We have been trying to reach out to him but he wouldn’t pick his calls.” The nurse replied, hovering above me with a look of concern on her face. This had been the response I had been getting since I was pulled out from the taxi that had been involved in an accident. “Please try it again, please.” I muttered, my chest contracting in pain. Derek had always been like this but I felt my incessant calls were going to bug him so much that he would pick up but that never happened. “Should I call him with my phone?” The nurse asked. “Even without his presence, we can commence treatment, why are you adamant he should be here before we get started.” To this, I had no response and so
