Married For 30 Days Lies & Secrets
BenI casually looked out my office window and the sight that greeted me left a bitter taste in my mouth. There was Ana, my supposed wife, walking hand in hand with Remi as they strolled leisurely towards his car.What the hell is going on? When did this sudden friendship between my best friend and my wife start?I had a deep thought and my brows furrowed in suspicion. This wasn't what I meant when I told Ana we needed to ‘pretend for the public.’ She was definitely trying to sabotage the whole arrangement and I wouldn't let it happen!I stormed out of my office and headed for her room, taking the stairs two at a time as I couldn't wait to confront her.I got to her room and pounded furiously on her door, “Ana, we need to talk, right now!”Silence.Does she think she can hide from me in my own house?I stepped away from the door and paced for a few seconds with my hands on my waist. My patience was running thin.“Ana. You better open this door right now or I'm breaking it down!” I ye

AnaTaking Beth to the doctor was the foremost thing on my mind when I woke up early the next morning.I needed to be sure she was really pregnant before I decided whether to tell Ben or not. His actions last night had been pretty intense and scared me a little.Who knows what he would've done if I hadn't held my ground and kept my mouth shut about Beth's possible pregnancy.It was 5:00 am when I got off my bed and headed for Liam's bedroom. I wanted to see my son first before going about my day. It was going to be a tough day and I needed some ray of hope and joy to dilute the bad news if there ever turned out to be any.I got to his room and pushed open the door, walking on tiptoes so as not to wake him in case he was still sleeping.A few toys and games lay scattered on the floor all around the room. Liam lay peacefully on his bed, his breath relaxed and peaceful. He had a stuffed animal clutched in his tiny hands. I shook my head and smiled. He must have slept off while playing w

AnaIt took us an hour and half to get to the hospital. It was called Elite Care Medical Centre. I'd never been to the hospital before.Terrence had driven us to the nearest hospital which happened to be Elite Care.I wasn't bothered by the name or location, I just needed to get my baby sister to a doctor as soon as possible.Beth was still hunched over and trembling slightly as I held her by the shoulders and guided her towards the hospital's main building.I took two steps and turned back to face the driver. “Thank you for the ride, Terrence. You can go now, we'll find our way home when we're done.”But Terrence shook his head and relaxed back in his seat, “It's alright miss Ana, I'm just doing my job. I'll wait right here until you're both ready to go home.”I nodded and managed a brief smile that didn't reach my eyes, then I turned to Beth and we continued on our merry way, trudging towards the hospital like a pair of women in mourning.We got to the entrance of the building and w

Ana “Right. There goes the party pooper,” I murmured to myself. I wonder what took him so long. I stood outside Dr. Childs' office with the phone still pressed to my ear and Ben's angry voice echoing through the line. "Where the hell are you?" He repeated, his tone dripping with annoyance. I took a deep breath, trying to calm my rising anger. It was too early to get into a screaming match with my fake husband. "I'm at the hospital, Ben. Beth wasn't feeling well." "What's wrong with her?" Ben's interest seemed forced. "Nothing. It turned out to be a false alarm. She's fine." I kept my tone neutral, unsure how much to reveal. "Good. Now get back here, immediately. We have an emergency at the office. The Tokyo branch is facing a major crisis, and I need you, or rather us, to handle the PR damage control.” I frowned, feeling a surge of resentment. "Can't it wait?" "No, it can't. The situation is critical. Every minute counts." Ben's urgency seemed genuine. I sighed wear

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
Last Updated : 2024-10-13Married For 30 Days The Intruder
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

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
