Married For 30 Days Delusions
AnaThe next morning saw us leaving the mansion very early. Ben and I rode to work in the same car.I entered first and settled comfortably in the back seat. Two minutes later, he came out to join us.He entered in front with the chauffeur. When I greeted him from the back, he was startled to find someone else sitting in his precious jeep, clearly forgetting that he'd given the order himself.I shook my head in displeasure, dug into my handbag and brought out my phone. I completely ignored him while pressing my phone. “Ana,” he subtly nodded at my disinterested face and then faced the driver. I continued looking at my phone, smiling at old pictures of me and Beth.“Terrence,” he promptly faced the driver. “Get us to the office right away.”“Yes, Mr. Pierce,” Terrence answered and pulled the jeep out of the driveway. We soon left the estate and sped off into the highway.The drive was smooth and the car was quiet until I suddenly remembered something I'd been meaning to ask Ben.It wa

BenStanding in the elevator all alone and in such close proximity to Ana made me lose my cool for a split second; something that had never happened to me in five years. I bit my lip in annoyance; more at myself than the current situation I'd found myself in. ‘I must be pretty banged up by the stress of this Tokyo mess,’ I thought and closed my eyes for a moment to relax.I opened them in a second to find Ana staring at me with an usual expression: concern.“Everything okay, husband?” She asked in a small voice as she avoided my eyes.Husband? Why was she sounding so…nice? Since I met her, Ana had been nothing but a pain in the ass, constantly undermining me and making everything about herself.Now she's asking me if I'm okay? This must be a trick. She's probably trying to play coy while planning something behind my back. She must think I'm stupid, or that I've forgotten about her and Remi's suspicious friendship.So I took a calming breath, nodded at her and answered in a very nonc

BenAna's resolve seemed to break under my commanding presence and intense gaze because she quickly lowered her eyes and turned around, walking away from me.I chuckled lightly and removed my glasses. Ana thinks she's tough and keeps underestimating me. I tried to hold her back from walking away but missed, my fingers slightly grazing her inner arm and out of nowhere, I felt warm thrills run down my abdomen down my legs.What the hell was that!Just as I was trying to understand the weird feeling that just went through my body, my assistant, Flynn, barged in, breathless and unable to speak coherently.Ana and I were each interrupted mid-action and instantly turned to face him, curious as to why he barged in in that manner.“Yes, Flynn? Everything okay?” I walked over to my desk, picked up a bottle of water and handed it over to him. As I did so, I noticed Ana raise her eyebrow in mild surprise and why not? She clearly thinks I'm the devil's spawn who is incapable of even an insignifi

Ben The room became deathly silent as everyone just paused to stare at Shirley and me. She stood facing me squarely while she had her back to the rest of them.Out of the corner of my eyes, I saw Ana's facial expression which was a mix of curiosity, intrigue, and…jealousy?“What the hell are you doing here?” I finally asked Shirley, rising from my seat. “Come on now Ben. This again?” She crossed her arms on her chest and pouted. “Don't tell me you didn't miss me. It's been weeks and you couldn't even bother to call and check up on your family. That is no way to behave.”She turned around and headed for the couch but came to a sudden stop after two steps. I couldn't see her face because she'd turned her back to me but I could tell her hesitation was because of Ana.She'd never met Ana and was probably envious—which was insane considering she cheated on me with my own brother—but that was Shirley for you.“Well, hello there.” She approached Ana.Ana immediately stood and offered her h
Last Updated : 2024-10-16Married For 30 Days Who's The Real Villain?
AnaOnce the Shirley character left the room, everyone exhaled in relief. Her energy was such that it'll either keep you on edge or threaten to choke you till you passed out.The resulting tragedy would depend on the type of person you were and how strong you were at detecting and filtering BS.No matter how strong and unaffected Ben had tried to seem, or how much he wanted to present his masculine strength, I could tell straight away that Shirley had some kind of effect on him.Who was Shirley to Ben? Were they past lovers or a past married couple? Was she the reason he'd mindlessly caressed my palm this morning at the elevator, thinking it was Shirley as they might've done in the past?I had a lot of questions running through my mind all at once but no single answer to any of them. This only made me realize that as much as I thought I knew Ben, I was still very much in the dark about his personal life.He wearily waved Kelly and Flynn away, sank into his chair and began to rub his t
Last Updated : 2024-10-18Married For 30 Days Save Him From Himself
AnaThe rest of the day saw Ben and I battling with files, trying to keep reporters away from spreading false news about the bankruptcy of Ben's company, and generally worrying about whether we were going to find something before Shirley makes it impossible to.It was nearing evening, the time when Shirley had asked Ben to meet her at the Imperial Suites.Watching Ben working, his mind focused on the stacks of files scattered on the desk, I wondered whether he was considering meeting Shirley. I was concerned for Ben, and the thought of him being alone with a scheming character like her made me uncomfortable.Shirley was a looker and they obviously had history together. No man can resist a beautiful woman no matter how hard they fight or say it. And I wondered whether Ben might be like that?What if he goes to meet her and Shirley seduces him and sleeps with him. That would be a huge opportunity for her to further take down the company and Ben with it and I couldn't let it happen.‘I h

AnaIt was 6:00 pm on the dot when Ben and I finally left the office and headed for home.We left the same way we'd come in: hand in hand. But this time, it didn't feel as forced and uncomfortable as it did in the morning.I settled in the back seat of Ben's jeep and thought back to the various incidents of that day and how each changed the way I looked at Ben.The first one was Kelly. Maybe I was wrong about the incident with Kelly, because Kelly turned out to be not-so-good at her job.And Flynn? Ben probably only yelled at Flynn because he was stressed and frustrated. After all, he did apologize for his outburst later, didn't he?But Shirley? Hell no. As far as I was concerned, that woman deserved everything Ben and I said to her in the office. You don't just walk into someone's establishment and start making threats and expect to be let off with a pat on the back.Thank God I was there to put her in her place, because Ben sure wasn't doing a great job of it. Their history together

AnaI gave Candace a questioning look. “What kind of…situation are we talking about?”She pursed her lips, then nodded and handed me a piece of folded white paper. I opened it to find scrawny handwriting by someone named…Anonymous?The note read: "My lovely Beth, You think you're too good for me? You think you can just dump me and move on?Newsflash: nobody dumps me, I do the dumping.You're gonna pay for humiliating me, and your precious sister won't be able to save you.You're not as special as you think.”My eyes scanned the note, my mind racing with questions. "Who wrote this?" I demanded, my voice barely above a whisper.Candace's expression turned grim. "We don't know," she admitted. "Beth received it earlier today. She's been shaken ever since."I read the note again, my heart sinking."Is this related to Tony, or even Shirley?" I wondered aloud.Candace's eyes widened. “Did you just say Shirley?"I hesitated, unsure how much to reveal. “Yes, Shirley. She came by Ben's office

Married For 30 Days Family Over Husband
Ana30 minutes later when Beth had finally calmed down, I took her up to her room and tucked her into bed. Then I headed down the hall to Liam's room. I hadn't seen my baby since I left in the morning.When I entered his room, I found a maid playing with him while cleaning up his room at the same time.Being a single mother myself, I was impressed by the way she expertly handled Liam and kept him occupied while doing something else. I chuckled to myself. The power of multitasking which appears to only be borne by women.As I watched the maid and Liam interact, I couldn't help but feel a pang of gratitude towards Ben for hiring such a wonderful staff. Being a boy Mom was no easy task and Ben's staff had made sure I took a well-deserved rest every now and then.The maid, whose name tag read "Maria", caught my eye and smiled warmly. "Hello, Mrs. Ana. I was just getting Liam ready for bed. Would you like me to finish up?" I shook my head, walking over to Liam. "No, Maria, thank you. I
Married For 30 Days It's Not Safe Here
AnaBen and I arrived home just a few minutes past 7:00 pm to find Beth sitting on the patio crying.Without waiting for the car to come to a complete stop, I jumped out and rushed towards Beth, my heart thudding widely in my chest.Why was she crying? Did something happen to Liam? Was it Shirley again?Oh, I'm going to kill her with my bare hands if she had anything to do with this!“Beth, what is it? Why are you crying?” I asked, my voice laced with fear as I crouched down close to her. “Is Liam okay?”“Everything okay?” Ben asked, slowly approaching us, his face filled with something that looked like fear. “Where's Candace?” “It's Alex,” Beth whimpered, tears streaming down her cheeks as she spoke. Who is Alex? I thought, and then it clicked. Alex is the ex-boyfriend that nearly hurt Beth.“What about him?” I asked, “Did he try to contact you again?”Beth stared at me, a sorrowful look in her innocent eyes. “He's dead, Ana. Someone killed him.” He finally said, her voice quaverin
Married For 30 Days Blazing Hot Kiss
AnaWaoh! I felt a flutter in my chest at the intimacy of the question. "That's a pretty personal question, Ben," I said, trying to sound nonchalant. I wasn't expecting that. I thought to myself.Now what do I say? Do I admit the truth, or do I lie and hope he doesn't prob any further?Ben grinned at me and cocked his head. "Hey, I'm your husband. I'm allowed to ask personal questions."I smiled, feeling a sense of ease returning. "Okay, fine. When I'm lying in bed at night, I'm usually thinking about..."“What?” He prompted, his eyes shining with child-like expectation.“You.” I finally said, and held my breath.Ben's eyes crinkled at the corners as he smiled. "Oh? And what am I doing in these thoughts of yours?"I felt a blush rise to my cheeks, but I tried to play it cool. "You're usually doing something very charming and romantic," I said, trying to sound nonchalant.Ben laughed, his eyes sparkling with amusement. "I see. And do these thoughts of yours usually end with us living
Married For 30 Days Dinner Date
Ana***7 Days Until End of Contract***Two hours later, Kelly and I were finally done arranging stuff in my new office.Ben had sent the interior designer as promised and she did a fine job painting and decorating the space, and for that, I gave her a very generous tip, because she more than deserved it.As I stood by the window admiring the new decor, Kelly smiled and nodded in approval. "You're officially settled in, Mrs. Pierce," she said, gathering her things. "I'll let you get comfortable. If you need anything, just buzz me."“Thanks, Kelly,” I said and lightly touched her arm.Just then, the door swung open and Ben walked in, a warm smile on his face. "How's the new office?" he asked, his eyes scanning the room."It's perfect," I replied, feeling a sense of pride and ownership. "The designer did an amazing job."Ben nodded approvingly at the colors, his eyes crinkling at the corners. "I'm glad you like it," he said. "You deserve it."We chatted for a few more minutes, discussing
Married For 30 Days Corner Office
AnaOmg! My new office? He really wasn't joking about getting me my own corner office.My eyes shone with joy and delight as I continued to follow him without further questions.As we walked, I couldn't help but feel a sense of excitement and pride. My own corner office? It was a dream come true. I had always wanted to prove myself as a capable and independent individual, and this was a huge step in that direction.Ben led me to a door with a shiny new nameplate that read "Ana Smith, Executive Director." I gasped in surprise, my eyes widening with delight."Ben, this is...wow," I stuttered, my hand reaching out to touch the nameplate.Ben chuckled and leaned against the doorframe, his eyes crinkling at the corners. "I told you I'd get you set up," he said, his voice low and husky.I turned to him, my heart swelling with gratitude. "Thank you, Ben," I said, my voice barely above a whisper. "This means so much to me."I felt a flutter in my chest as I gazed up at him, my heart overflow
Married For 30 Days My New Man
AnaTerrence was already standing and waiting by the car as Ben and I came down from our respective rooms at the same time, as if on cue.Ben smiled and winked at me from across the foyer and my face turned red in a blush.Silly girl, I cautioned myself as I gracefully got in the back seat, followed by him.Usually, Ben would sit up in the front with Terrence but today was different. He wanted to sit close to me.His broad shoulders filled up the small space, and the heat from the closeness of his body radiated towards me, making my skin tingle with awareness.Flashes of the kiss we shared earlier in his bedroom flooded my memory and sent warm thrills across my entire body.I was giddy with excitement, but then I glanced at my wristwatch and grimaced, a frown creasing my brows. “We're so late.” I noted, my voice tinged with worry.“Says who?” Ben asked with a raised eyebrow.“I mean, aren't we?” I replied, glancing at my wristwatch again. “It's almost 10:00 am.”I turned to look at Be
Married For 30 Days Falling Into You
AnaLike a lost sheep being taken to the slaughter, I followed Ben as he took me by the hand and led me to his bedroom.I'd never been in his bedroom before and as I stepped through the door, the unmistakable scent of cologne filled my nostrils, making my head spin.I knew that scent. It felt familiar, like a warm hug. Where had I smelled it before? I wondered, glancing around the cozy, elegant space.“Make yourself at home,” Ben said, nodding towards a plush cushion beside the bed. "I love your room," I said, taking in the calming colors and comfortable furnishings. "It feels like a sanctuary.”Ben chuckled and nodded. “That's the same thing you said last night.”I did a double take, my eyes narrowing at his words. “What? Did I…Was I here last night?”“No,” Ben laughed and handed me a glass of water. “But maybe. I'm not sure.” He added, still laughing.I rolled my eyes at him and accepted the cup. “It's not funny, Ben.”“Aren't you curious though?” Ben asked, and slowly approached m
Married For 30 Days Hungover
AnaI woke up with a start, my top drenched in sweat, and my head pounding from a terrible hangover. Where was I?The slice of bright light seeping through the window blinds indicated that it was morning.I glanced at the alarm clock on the bedside table. 7:30am.I must've been really exhausted last night that I had fallen into such deep sleep. I don't even remember waking up in the middle of the night like I usually do.I rubbed my eyes and sleepily glanced around the room.My clothes were scattered all over the floor, trailing from the door up to the bed. I winced in pain as I tried to recollect how that came about.Oh god! Did I sleep with Ben? Did I shamelessly throw myself at him?I stumbled out of bed and headed straight for the medicine cabinet in the bathroom, my vision slightly blurred by a piece of straying hair.I walked past a mirror and paused, daring myself to take a look at the mess I must've made of myself last night.I succumbed, and as I gazed into the mirror, I was
Married For 30 Days A Night To Remember-II
BenAna and I danced together, laughing and spinning to the beat. For a moment, I forgot about our deal, about the future, and just let go.As the night wore on, we played games, told jokes, and even had a heated debate about the best pizza topping— Ana was adamant that pineapple belonged on pizza, while I was horrified by the suggestion.At one point, Remi pulled out a guitar and started strumming a lively tune. Ana grabbed my hand and pulled me into an impromptu karaoke session. We belted out a ridiculous duet of "I Will Survive," complete with over-the-top dance moves and dramatic arm flailing.I sang along to the beautiful tunes, never mind that my voice was already cracked from yelling on top of my voice all night.But I didn't mind, because for the first time in a long time, I was having the best time of my life with the woman I— love?Love? I caught myself midway, shocked to realize that I'd fallen hopelessly in love with this woman.I watched her happy face as we sang, my hea
