All Chapters of THE GREAT ARRANGEMENT: Chapter 41 - Chapter 50

I had hoped that it was Kerry since then. I wouldn't have to deal with as much drama, but as the car pulls up in front of Rory's house, I'm quite confident that it's not her.“Rory, I overhear you whispering, "I suppose it's your girlfriend." Jennifer exits the vehicle and walks up to the front door of his house to enter. I can hear Rory mumbling as he pokes his head around the corner.I come to a standstill in the hot tub before beginning my ascent. I invite him inside and tell him, "Come in here. She will assume you're someplace about the property."I make a hasty entrance into the cottage, and Rory follows close behind. While I am skipping in front of him and playfully catching his hands, he squeezes my bottom. While the two of us are laughing, he picks me up and carries me over to the leather sofa."What exactly are you up to?" I inquire as our faces come closer together.He responds with a soft murmur, "Kissing you if that's okay."I give him a slight nod and draw closer to kiss

"What do you have in store for today?" I inquire of Kerry as she makes her way downstairs in pursuit of her cup of coffee in the morning.You're here; I assumed you'd still be at Rory's. I was just about to text you."Don't be like that, Kerry. We discussed last night and …."And you fucked up?"No, I was going to add, and we decided that we're not going to put any strain on what we have; instead, we're just going to see each other when we can, with no strings attached and no pressure," the speaker said. "No strings, no pressure."Kerry frowns as she looks up from the coffee machine and glances around the room. "Like you can even do that," they said.I sit up straight and wonder why she has the impression that I can't. Why shouldn't it?"Darcy, you won't be able to handle him if there are other ladies around.""I won't know who he's with," he responded.She shows some form of agreement by nodding her head, but her expression suggests that she is not really convinced. "Ok," she respond

Rory has just completed the farewell. When I arrived at work this morning, Kerry's bags were already packed, and she was ready to leave; she didn't want to hang around any longer than necessary.When I saw him heading to the cottage with my top in his hand, his mother's car was still parked in front of his house.He immediately pokes his head in through the door when he sees me. "I suppose this is yours," he says as he hands the top to me. Even though I'm still wearing his, I don't intend to return it to him. As he moves farther into the cottage, Kerry gives him the evil eye while simultaneously beginning to take the luggage to the car without speaking to any of us."Has your mother been able to relax?" I ask.He gives you a grin while rolling his eyes. "Nope, but she will get over that because all she wanted was grandchildren," you said. "Nope."Didn't you tell this hussy that she already has a grandchild waiting for her? "Well, that's a bummer."He is laughing and shaking his head a

I say goodbye to Rory and almost immediately feel sad and lonely since he is no longer in my life. This is an unfamiliar emotion for me because I have always been fiercely independent and the kind of woman who has never been defined by a relationship with a man.I yawned and suddenly became aware of how exhausted I was from trying to fit everything in with him. When I return to the house, I first head to the master bedroom and try to get a few hours of sleep. I felt I could sleep for a week straight, yet I had only set my alarm for two hours. That gives me an hour to get ready before the rest of the gang comes to fetch me before we go. Because we have reservations at a reasonably priced Premier Inn, all that is left is to unpack our belongings before we can get going."Are we prepared to deal with this?" As I get inside the car, I ask the question. Ben is behind the wheel, while Saika is sitting in the passenger seat next to him. Kerry is standing behind us here with me. Everyone laug

On the drive back to my house, I was harassed further about filing a report against Tony, but I didn't see sense in doing so because it would involve a great deal of bother and specifics for nothing. People spotted me in the club snogging him while I was dealing with him, and they thought I was enjoying the attention I was getting. Who would believe that a lady who had been all over him earlier in the night wouldn't be gagging for it? That's how I know these dickheads will get away with it. Who would believe that a woman who had been all over him earlier in the night wouldn't be gagging for it?Rory has also been messaging me; he's at some event at a farmers market today, so he's able to text more than he normally would. It's great to know that he cares; he represents the ideal man in many ways. It's no surprise that Jennifer wants to maintain her relationship with him because who could blame her?After the events of yesterday night, Kerry is brought to my house with me since I believ
