KACE’S POV“ Calm down! I’m safe and okay. I’m on my way to Brandon. He said we are to meet in the next forty minutes and the forty minutes is almost over so I’m on my way driving there. Shit!! let me call you back “ Eliana said and ended the call abruptly.“ What just happened, why did she curse and end the call so abruptly? “ My mother-in-law who I didn’t even know was listening in on our conversation asked me.That was the same question I was asking myself right now. Why did she end the call so abruptly? I was worried and so was Tess and her mom.I dialed Brandon’s number to ask him to track Eliana's phone so that we would know her location and go to check on her because I feared that she was in danger due to the way she ended the call abruptly.“ Hey Brandon, please can you track Eliana’s number? I think she is in danger, we were talking on the phone and she cursed before abruptly ending the call “ I said to him and he chuckled.“ She’s here with me right now. There is no cause fo

She wanted to threaten Drake because he said he’ll expose her….. “ I said and trailed off mid-sentence when the next thing we heard was a female voice screaming.It was coming from the direction where the maid, Agent Maynard, and the policemen went.We all went there and saw the maid standing with her hands covering her mouth as she looked into the room with a horrified look on her face. Agent eyes were widened in surprise too.When we got there and I looked inside the room I saw my mother-in-law lying down in her pool of blood. There was a knife covered with blood beside her.I gasped at the sight in front of us. She was stabbed to death. Could it be that she committed suicide? Or someone killed her. How come no one knew about it until now?“ Rachael!! Rachael!! “ My father-in-law called out her name and wanted to run and hold but was held back by Kace and Agent Maynard.Drake had a shocked look on

TESSA“ What the hell, that's so outrageous!!! They agreed to help us only if I get married to their eldest son Kace?. “ I was astounded and looked at my mother who was seated with a sad look on her face, as I prayed that this was just some silly joke. But the look she gave me told me it was not.“ But everyone knows I have feelings for Drake. I can swear with my life that his parents are aware so why would they want me to get married to his elder brother Kace whom we haven’t seen for over a decade now?? “ I asked her angrily as though she had the answers to my questions which deep down I knew she didn’t, I just needed someone to channel my anger on.My mom who used to be the talk of the town and known for her beauty and elegance was seated in front of me, a shadow of herself, not Mrs. Adelle Montgomery whom everyone knew.I couldn’t understand why the Crawfords would want me to marry their first son, Kace Crawford, for God’s sake I can’t even remember when last I saw him, he left to s

KACE’S POV“ You guys want to pull a welcome home prank on me right? “ I asked, laughing as I looked at my mom and dad Mr. and Mrs. Crawford.But they just stared back at me keeping serious faces and the smile on my face immediately froze. Wait, so they were serious about me getting married to Tessa?A girl I have never had a good history with since childhood? Well obviously that's what she felt but to be sincere I just found her too adorable when we were growing up and I loved to tease her a lot.Because I looked loved whenever she pouted, but she mistook it for a bully so I withdrew myself seeing the fact that she was getting too close to Drake and I wasn't their age mate.Even I had this intuition that Tessa and Drake would end up together but all those thoughts vanished when I came back two days ago and Drake was filling me in on everything going on in his life.Drake is very much aware that Tessa loves him but he told me he doesn’t love her but plans on having just one night stand

TESSA’S POV“ Good morning principal Sanders “ I greeted our principal lazily as I entered her office and sat down in front of her. She looked at me with her brows furrowed and sighed afterward before she began to speak.“ You are normally the first student to pay your school fees and now your final exams will soon come to an end but you still haven't paid. I tried calling your mum several times but she wouldn't take my calls '' Principal Sanders complained.Well, I didn't blame her, Not everyone knew that my dad died due to the frustration of his bankrupt company and the threats from the bank.He was coming back home drunk and left his car at the bar he drank at, in the process of crossing the road a trailer hit him and he died on the spot. Nobody knew this aside from Kace and Drake's parents and my mom suggested we keep it that way. All she does is brood over how she can't live her lavish lifestyle anymore.“ We'll pay you soon Mrs. Sanders, my mom’s bank account is having issues r

KACE’S POV“ What plans? “ Tessa asked, looking confused at both Drake and me as her mom walked to stand beside her.Before I got the chance to utter a word Drake took long strides to Tessa and confessed love to her. I was flabbergasted. In all my years of living, I didn't know Drake could lie this much.When did he become this insensitive? This poor girl already lost so much and now Drake is lying to her just to lure her to his bed? What pissed me off the most is that this girl had been his close friend since childhood.“He is lying, Tessa!! don't believe him!! “ I wanted to tell Tessa but decided to keep my mouth shut. It would be best if she finds out by herself.I just stood looking at the whole scenario with furrowed brows and saw that Tessa’s mom was looking at Drake warily. Thank goodness at least her mom is sharp in thinking, I thought to myself.I felt sorry for Tessa, if it were within my powers to help her without this arranged marriage thing I would, but I could only acce

KACE’S POV“ What?! “ I couldn't help but exclaim when I picked up Agent Maynards to call. I didn't wanna disturb Tessa but at the same, I couldn't help exclaiming.“ What happened?! “ Tessa asked me but I couldn't answer her because I was still talking to Agent Maynard. So I put the call on loudspeaker for her to hear what Agent Maynard too.“ His body and that of his daughter was found this morning in their house. It was a sorrowful sight to behold. They were found dead in their own pool of blood. Whoever perpetrated the act must have done it last night, " Agent Maynard said.Tessa, who was yawning a few seconds ago and wanted to go back to sleep, was wide awake now with a confused look on her face.“ Who are you guys talking about? “ Tessa asked us. I couldn’t get myself to talk because I didn’t wanna be the one to squash all her hopes that today may not be our victory day anymore.“ Hey Tess is that you? “ Agent Maynard asked her softly.“ Yes, it’s me. Please just answer me, is i

TESSA’S POVSeeing Kace trying to communicate with his eyes to Agent Maynard and Brandon who just walked into the house with smiles on their faces was funny.I'm pretty sure that he was trying to tell them not to utter a word because Brandon was about to speak.Luckily Agent Maynard understood the message Kace was trying to pass across when he saw Kace's foster mom seated with my mom. He held Brandon’s hand and signaled for him not to talk.I also knew that deep in my mom's heart, if she was given the chance she'll shred my mother-in-law into tiny little pieces. My mom was nice and kind but she was also fierce when necessary.“ Good evening everyone “ Agent Maynard greeted us and we answered with a nod of our heads. I noticed that my mother-in-law looked at Agent Maynard warily.Eliana stood up and kissed Brandon passionately. They were lost in their kiss that I had to clear my throat before they pulled away from each other. Brandon sat down with Eliana while I sat with Kace. Agent Ma

KACE’S POVI drove home as my heart leaped for joy knowing that Tess had regained her memory. That means we would be able to know what happened before she had the accident. Argh, I couldn’t wait to see her.It took me just twenty minutes to drive to my house. My gatekeeper opened the gate for me and I drove in. I quickly parked my car and went into my house, heading upstairs straight.When I got to the front of my bedroom door, I paused and let out a sharp exhale before turning the doorknob of the bedroom door and going in. Hardly had I closed the door when Tessa ran and crushed me in a bear hug.I hugged her back as the scent of her shampoo graced my nose, it was soothing and made me realize how much I was scared if she didn't remember anything.The thought she was carrying my child too made me nervous and glad at the same time. What would be her reaction if I told her? I thought to myself but pushed the thought aside.We pulled away from each and shared a passionate kiss. It was sho

KACE’S POVIt was high time we put an end to all these things happening to us once and for all because I knew without any doubt, that all these things happening were connected to one person and so help me God the day we catch the person behind all this, I’ll kill that person myself, I thought to myself and stepped on the accelerator angrily, zooming off to Vin’s place. I pulled up into Vin’s parking space after twenty minutes and rang the doorbell. The door opened immediately as though the person had been standing at the door and waiting for me.“ What's up? How is Tess doing? Any good news regarding her health? “ Brandon asked immediately after I got into the house.It was noon and really sunny outside, so when I got into the house, I loved it when the cold emitting from the air conditioning in the house touched my skin. It felt refreshing.“ I don't know man, “ I said and slumped on the couch in Vin’s sitting room tiredly. It was only at this moment that I knew how exhausted I was.
THE ARRANGED BRIDE CHAPTER ONE HUNDRED-ONE
TESSA’S POVI woke up and found myself in a strange environment. I saw two people standing not far away from my bed and they seemed like they were having a heated conversation. The man with striking brown eyes rushed to me and called me babe when he saw that I was awake.Babe? Isn't that the pet name that lovers called themselves? So why was he calling me that? I frowned because I didn't remember knowing this man. So I asked who he was and he looked at me, surprised at the question I just asked.An elderly woman and a young lady around my age rushed into the room and they called me, Tessa. The woman said she was my mom but I couldn't remember anything.I was frustrated but didn't show it, these people seemed very worried and I felt venting my frustration would make them worry more.I told the handsome man with striking blue eyes and jet black hair that I didn't know him and also the woman. Although I tried my best to be polite to them.My mind and head were a mess, I was trying hard t
