Married For 30 Days The Wrong Way To Help
Ben“Ana Ana Ana..”I whispered her name over and over as I paced the small space where she'd banished me to.How could I have been so stupid to keep something so important like this away from her?I thought I was helping but apparently, I'd only made things much worse.“Sir?” Terrence's sudden appearance at the doorway and his gravely voice interrupted my deep thoughts. I turned to face him. “Yes?”He fidgeted nervously and avoided my eyes. “I'm about to turn in for the night. Do you need anything else from me?”My eyes narrowed in thought and I gestured for him to take a seat. He hesitated, unsure what was going on.“Please, Terrence.” I said. “I need a few more minutes of your time.”“Oh, of course sir,” he nodded enthusiastically and sat down, staring at me in expectation.I took a deep breath and continued to pace, biting my lips every two seconds. What was I going to say? How was I going to start?This was the hardest thing I've ever had to do since five years ago, when I got d

AnaAfter calling home and speaking to Beth, making sure she and Liam were safe, I finally felt confident enough to relax and unwind.I poured myself a glass of wine and went to sit by the window, the ray of the afternoon light doing so little to lift my nasty mood.I thought back to the day I stumbled on Ben in the lounge while I was running from Tony. I smiled bitterly at the memory.If I had known he would later give me such heartaches and headaches, I never would've accepted the contract.Hell, I never would've gone to him for help in the first place.I sighed and swirled the wine glass, deep in thought. I downed the remaining wine and left the window.Tomorrow was the meeting with the investor and I wouldn't dream of going there unprepared, even if the person I was doing it all for was the biggest jerk in the history of jerks.I took my time to find out everything I could about the prospective investor. His likes and dislikes.I soon found out that the investor, Mr. Jenkins was k

AnaThe next morning, I woke up early , too early, as I couldn't sleep well due to too much thinking.I stayed in bed, thinking of my family back home. It had been two days away from them now, and I missed them terribly, so much so that I felt homesick.I stumbled away from the bed, running into the bathroom in a great hurry as I didn't want to have to call housekeeping this early in the morning.Thank heavens I got to the bathroom in time to vomit into the sink.A knock sounded on my door, “Are you okay in there?” Ben's concerned voice came in through the door.I continued to throw up, my throat burning as if I just drank chili pepper juice.“Ana?” Ben knocked again on the door. “What's going on in there? Do you need me to get you anything?”I came back into the bedroom, wiping my mouth with a towel, “I'm fine, Ben. I'll be ready in a minute.”I heard Ben hesitate outside the door for a second, and then he retreated, back to his side.It took me a few more minutes to finally get read

AnaI quickly looked away, trying to shake off the feeling. We walked back to the car in silence, the tension between us so thick you could cut it with a knife.As we drove back to the hotel, Ben finally spoke up. "So, what did you think? Did we nail it?"I nodded, trying to sound casual. "Yeah, I think we did great. We answered all their questions and addressed their concerns."Ben nodded, his eyes never leaving the road. "Good. I was worried you might be...distracted."I felt a surge of annoyance at his subtle reference to my earlier illness. "I'm fine, Ben. Let's just focus on the meeting."We settled into silence again, the only sound the hum of the engine and the soft whoosh of the air conditioning.As we pulled up to the hotel, Ben turned to me. "Hey, Ana? Can I talk to you for a minute?"My heart sank, wondering what he wanted to discuss now. "What is it, Ben?"He hesitated, his eyes searching mine. "I just wanted to...apologize. Again. For what happened with Beth."I felt a pa
Last Updated : 2024-11-24Married For 30 Days Wine-Tasting in Tokyo
Ben Phew! I ran a hand through my hair, exhaling in relief. If bringing Ana's family over doesn't do the trick, then I don't know what will. She will definitely forgive my mistake and things will go back to normal henceforth. I pulled out my phone and dialed Terrence's work number. “Ready the car,” I instructed when he picked. “We're coming down now.” I had booked a wine tasting experience at a local vineyard for Ana and I, just so we could spend some time together before flying back home. As Terrence drove the car through the evening traffic, I glanced over at Ana, who was sitting silently beside me. She looked stunning in her red dress, her hair styled perfectly and her makeup flawless. But despite her polished exterior, I could sense the tension radiating from her. It was a miracle that I was even able to get her to come out with me. I reached out and took her hand, giving it a gentle squeeze. "Hey, I'm really looking forward to tonight," I said, trying to

Ana*Back In The Hotel Room*Once I made sure the door was securely locked behind me, I jumped on the bed, screaming and giggling like a teenager with a silly crush.The fact that Ben had gone out of his way to bring my family over and try to make up for his mistake told me all I needed to know about my fake husband— he was redeemable yet.But I still couldn't help the voice of doubt gnawing at me every minute.Despite that wine-tasting with him went awfully well, I worried that something would happen and spoil the happiness I feel inside.A soft knock sounded on my door and I frowned. I knew it wasn't Beth or Candace because they were checked into a separate room with a maid and a few of Ben's domestic staff from home.I got to the door and opened it to find Ben standing and smiling. His right hand was folded behind his back as he continued to smile at me. I rolled my eyes, wondering what he was hiding this time.“Hey, Ben.” I said, “Umm, what do you want, and what are you hiding be

**Five Hours Later, The Pierce Residence** Ana “Ben. I think you need to take care of this Shirley matter once and for all. Because if you don't, she'll keep messing with you.” I stopped my pacing and turned to face Ben. We were back in his study back home, hatching and plotting on how to permanently get rid of Shirley from our lives. Of course we weren't planning to kill her or go to extreme lengths. No. We just needed to make her stop, and stay away from us. Ben stood by the window, nursing a glass of wine and watching the security men patrol the compound. It was the first safety measure he took after the kidnapping incident. "I mean, think about it, Ben," I continued, trying to drive my point home. "If Shirley can orchestrate a kidnapping, who knows what else she's capable of? We can't just sit back and wait for her next move." Ben turned to face me, his expression thoughtful. "I know, Ana. But we need to be careful. We can't just confront her without a plan." "I'm not say

AnaI sighed heavily and exited the security room, my head throbbing from the excitement and anxiety of Shirley's shenanigans.She was a ticking time bomb, and I couldn't wait for the day we'd finally be rid of her. I went up to Beth's room to check on her, since we hadn't really had time to talk about everything that happened while I was in Tokyo.I knocked on her door but there was no answer. I slowly pushed the door open, until to find Beth sleeping peacefully, with Liam lying quietly on her chest, deep asleep too.A warm spread across my face as I watched them in silence.I'd better leave them be, I told myself and turned to slip out the same way I'd slipped in.But I accidentally stepped on one of Liam's squeaky toys and the SQUEAK! sound awoke them both.Liam raised his head and glared sleepily at me, probably mad that I had disturbed his sleep, but he went right back to sleep.“Ana?” I heard Beth's voice call out as she rubbed her eyes."Hey, Beth," I whispered, trying not to

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
