Tragedy struck for Katherine Paul, whose life has always been one rollercoaster of unfortunate events. Now she has to accept the help of the infamous Shawn Blackwell, a man she knew about a little too well. She knew she should say no, for his help came with conditions too cruel to imagine, but who could refuse the Blackwells? Shawn Blackwell had always lived to serve the Blackwell name, but he could not bear agreeing to an arranged marriage, so without thinking he did the exact opposite... grab the closest poor girl he could find and make her his, creating a forbidden love, but his plan didn't turn out as simple as he thought.

Chapter 1

Katherine's POVThe air was particularly gloomy this morning. It rained earlier so the weather still had this mixture of rain soaked sand that feels nice but also smells like it could suffocate you at the same time. There was a nearby church bell ringing somewhere not too far away… it sounded like something terrible had just happened, like it was announcing the dreadful passing away of special people. The town was especially quiet, like everyone felt like any noise they made would be considered an abomination. Everything seemed like it was in black and white. Even the little children could not be heard kicking their balls, making up songs and stories or whatever kept them jolly. Everything was on stand still, especially for Katherine Paul, who laid on her little bed and wished for this day to just pass her by. I thought the worse had come and gone, until days like this reminded me that I would never be the same again, that there was no way that I could be okay. I could hear my lit

Chapter 2: Surprise, surprise...

Shawn's POVI never liked cemeteries, it reminded me of the worst time of my life, when the person I cherished the most was taken away from me and as I stood there watching the funeral of the Pauls I could not help but feel genuinely sad for them. Freddie's mum was like a mother to me. She was always so kind and loving and never quick to judge. She worked with us even after my mum died and I was grateful to have someone like her in my life. However when dad remarried, the new wife, Angela, did not get along well with her and made her leave. I was angry when she left but there was very little I could do to stop it, I was just a child after all. Still I managed to form a bond with Freddie, her younger child and we have been close since then. He was like the brother I never had and I really cherished our relationship. He was quite mature for his age but I would never tell him that, I preferred to taunt his very existence every time I saw him. I was surprised at the overwhelming sadn

Chapter 3: Trying to marry me off?

Shawn's POVI got out from my beautiful black baby…. And by that I mean my gorgeous Bentley car, to behold the mansion that held so many bittersweet memories. It was truly a sight to behold, majestic in every way. Once upon a time I called this my home and it was for a while when my mother was still alive and the house was filled with boisterous little children and smiling parents. Back then Freddie and Katherine were the only playmates I had and their mum never treated me differently especially because of my father's wealth. She even had a very close relationship with my mum and I knew her death affected her greatly, well at least now they are both in someplace better than this. Now this mansion was nothing more than just bricks and wood to me. It still looked elegant and beautiful, making everything around it seem small and insignificant. The flowers around the building were meticulously trimmed but it looked dull, like it lacked any soul or passion, just like a sad work of art.

Chapter 4: Hi Katherine!

Katherine's POVHe was a shocker alright! Still 10 million was way more than I needed, how could he just give away that much money just like that?! Yes he was a billionaire but I didn't peg him as the extravagant type. This was the first time that I have seen this amount of money in my account. Truth be told, I almost fainted when I saw the alert and at first I wondered where on earth it came from. Then I remembered Shawn Blackwell and it all made sense. When he said he wanted to help me out I didn't know that he was trying to buy me off. How could I repay something this huge! I needed the money though, I was so deep in debts from every corner but I didn't want to owe this man so much! I had to let him know that this was too much. Don't get me wrong I was tempted to accept this insane amount of money and never have to worry about a thing again in my life but Shawn's words kept ringing in my ears.. "A favour that I can not refuse," he said. Considering how evil he was I could no

Chapter 5: Marry me?

Katherine's POV"Hi" I finally managed to say after practically checking him out real bad. Gosh! I thought I had more pride than this! "Is everything okay?" He asked. That was weird. Why was he asking me such questions? It's not like we are best buddies or anything like that. "Yeah, everything is perfect!" I replied. Of course everything was not perfect, but I wasn't about to tell this heart breaker about how miserable I was right now. He wouldn't understand anyways so why should I even bother? There was a look on his face and I was pretty sure it was pity. I probably looked like a sad puppy to him in need of rescue. Like one of the charity cases his family always supports to make sure they were on the good side of the people, to put up appearances, to clear their conscience. Well I was no charity and I was going to make sure that he understood that. I glared at him for no actual reason and I could not even understand why I was getting really angry right now. "Okay, if you say

Chapter 6: Just say yes!!

Shawn's POVI wanted her to say yes, no, I need her to say yes. If she refused me now I had no idea how I would face my father. I could almost hear his taunting voice mocking me that even a pauper rejected me. No. I shrugged off that thought and focused on the matter at hand here; getting Katherine to agree to this completely insane request. No matter what happens I am not leaving here until she says what I want to hear, and by that I mean yes. In honesty, this was the most spontaneous, out of character thing that I have ever done and I was beginning to have serious second thoughts. At the end of the day I could not force her to marry me, even though I made a deal with her, still this was too much of me I know. The look in her eyes gave it all away and yes she thought that I was absolutely crazy and I couldn't blame her. Who in their right state of mind would propose to someone they barely knew?! Well I'll tell you who: the one and only Shawn Blackwell ladies and gentlemen, the on

Chapter 7: the summoning

Katherine's pov"And what did you say to him?" Freddie asked. I gave him a death glare like "what did you expect?" He got the memo and adjusted his shirt trying to act busy… Better. "I basically told him to take his filthy money and go!" I exclaimed, getting annoyed just thinking about the whole scenario. "So you told him to take back his 10 million and go? Just like that?" He asked with disbelief lacing each word. "Yes Freddie, I'm not some piece of art he can just wake up one day and decide to own just because he's wealthy," I stated. "But why you? Why did he choose you?" He asked. "I don't know, I really do not… well maybe it's because we are poor and deep in dept," I told him. "He's not someone like that Katherine and we are not the only poor orphans in town," he said as a matter of fact. However, all I could think at that moment was the glaring truth in his statement. We were officially now orphans, left in this wicked world to fend for ourselves. We had no one, nobody t

Chapter 8: Yes?!

Katherine's povThe drive to the Blackwell Mansion was the most awkward situation I have ever been put through. Henry personally drove me himself while the other two cars were strategically stationed in front and behind me. Freddie had freaked out and insisted I should not go, but curiosity had the better of me. I needed to know why Mr Blackwell wanted to see me so badly. Something told me it would be about this whole marriage fiasco with Shawn, but I've learned that it was better to enquiry and to know than to jump into assumptions. "Nothing good can ever come out of this impromptu meeting!" He groaned. He had been on my back like a pest, following me everywhere as I searched for something decent to wear to see the billionaire. "Well I wouldn't know that until I go find out for myself," I countered. "You know how David is sis! He's the most self centered beast of a man I have ever seen," he warned. "Well a minute ago you were basically risking it all for the son and remembe

Chapter 9: surprise, surprise!

Shawn's POVI hated these ridiculous meetings, but they had to be done. We were on the verge of buying a new company and it was taking more time than expected. All through this boring meeting all I could think of was Katherine in my house. I had to travel the same day she accepted to be my wife… at least on paper. I had one of my men send her the contract of the marriage which included a few commitments, the most important being that she had to live with me for at least a year. She signed it the very day she received it and sent it to me, last I heard she had already moved into my house. It was amazing how quickly I got a positive reply after what happened in her house. I had no idea what brought about this change of attitude but I was delighted it came through. Information reached me about the meeting she had with my father, that was even the main reason I called her that fateful day, to warn her, but it seemed I had nothing to be scared about. I checked my rolex wristwatch onc

Chapter 10: How is this happening?!

Katherine's povWas that Shawn?? No!! It can't be…. But it was! Omg! How is this happening?! "Katherine," he called out from behind the door. Oh gosh! It really is him!! "Erm…. Hello…. Shawn… I… I didn't know you were coming back today," I managed to say as I searched for something to wear. The closest thing I could find was an old gray polo and blue jean trousers. "Yeah it was meant to be a surprise," he said. "Well you got me that for sure," I groaned. The Jean trouser was proving to be quite difficult to wear, it was tight… then I remembered that it was among the ones I planned to stop wearing because it had shrinked. Damn!! I was still struggling with the trouser and trying to move forward when I fell with a loud thud on the floor. "Katherine! Are you alright?!" He asked when he heard the sound. I could see that he was trying to open the door to check on me but I could not allow that! The jean trouser was still halfway through my thighs and suffice to say that my butt
