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

  • The Billionaire's Inconvenient Bride   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

  • The Billionaire's Inconvenient Bride   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.

  • The Billionaire's Inconvenient Bride   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

  • The Billionaire's Inconvenient Bride   Chapter 11: An unwanted visitor

    Katherine The streets shone bright with lights that dazzled every corner we turned, we were greeted with a beehive of activities, the city was alive before our very eyes. I never pictured myself in the streets of Paris with Shawn Blackwell… never in a thousand years, but when he suggested we go on our honeymoon, I thought to myself…. What could go wrong?! To be honest at first I thought he was completely crazy, but when he explained the reason behind the plan to me, I just had to do it. I had never left the borders of our little town, the succor it provided was a comfort I was not ready to let go of…. Until Shawn came into my life. Strangely though we walked the street with our hands interlocked, hearts giddy from the amazing sight before us, apparently the city of love brought out something in us I never knew existed. We were not sworn enemies, we weren't friends either, but we were legally married and for now that was enough. "This is beautiful isn't it?" He asked as he loo

  • The Billionaire's Inconvenient Bride   Chapter 12: How is this going to be okay?!

    Shawn's pov"Get off me," I growled as I loosened her tight grip from my body. Her strong perfume almost suffocated me during the short time she got a hold on me. I made sure I created enough space between her and me. Her face caked with makeup had a disappointed look but I didn't care. She looked just as she did in the photo I saw, the only difference was that she was more annoying and fake looking in real life. "Ouch, that hurts my feelings darling," she smirked as she placed her hand with the longest artificial nails I have ever seen lightly over her heart. She was a drama queen, but I knew her type already, she was exactly like all the countless number of spoiled rich brats that I have dated, still there was something dangerous about her…. The Anthonys were not known for their kindness. "What are you doing here?" I demanded.She gave me a look like I was out of my mind, meanwhile she was the only one acting crazy here. I glanced at Katherine who had been quiet since we saw I

  • The Billionaire's Inconvenient Bride   Chapter 13: A Rival

    Katherine It has now become customary for Shawn to take me to my classes and pick me up when I'm done with classes. If for any reason he was unable to fulfill his royal duties, then one of his men was always available to fill in that particular duty. Don't get me wrong, it feels great sometimes to be treated like a literal princess, but life was far from perfect for the both of us. For starters his "supposed wife" was still living with us and her annoying screeching voice seemed like an andless torture day and night. She was everywhere! A tiny part of me still did not understand why she chose to stay, even when Shawn had made it quite clear that the chances of them getting married could be compared to the chances of money literally growing from trees. She made it her constant duty to mock me every chance she got, but I found her circumstances more pitiable so her taunts never held any water. Still, she was a real thorn in the flesh and she knew that! "Hey Katherine, wait up!"

    ShawnI lost it! The moment I saw that creep place a hand on Katherine, everything I saw was red. I wanted to beat the shit out of him for even daring to lay a finger on my bride, but I tried to play it cool because Katherine was there, I didn't want her to know how much of a monster I could be. Still that punch was inevitable, the guy was literally asking for it! I could not believe that someone as low in ranks as Nathaniel could even fathom the idea of talking to my wife. I knew of him and his sycophant family. They basically worshiped the Anthonys and were at their beck and call. The rich in this town ran a tight circle and someone like him wasn't even worthy to call an adversary. I looked across at Katherine who had been quiet since I came into the car, she looked pale and tired. All this while she had avoided my eyes and focused her gaze straight ahead, apparently there was something so spectacular ahead of us that only she could see. "So are we going to talk about what just

  • The Billionaire's Inconvenient Bride   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

  • The Billionaire's Inconvenient Bride   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
