chosen the one?

Married For A Million Dollars.Chapter 38: chosen the one? .Ariana drops the towel to the floor and reaches for her underwear.“I’ll turn around.”“You’re enjoying this, aren’t you?”Williams’s grin widens. “I like taking care of you.”“Right. Close your eyes, kid, and no peeking.”Bending over proves to be difficult as Ariana struggles stepping into her briefs, midsection throbbing with every flick her wrist took. She manages to snap them right above her hips just as Williams asks if she needs helps.“I thought you slid panties off, not put them on.”“I’m a man of many talents,” he shrugs. Upon opening his eyes and noticing Ariana’s wince, his playfulness melts into concern. “You okay?”Ariana mirrors his look. “I will be. Eventually.”She resumes buttoning but is interrupted by William’s sudden grip on her wrists, who pulls her arms aside and widens the slit of her open shirt despite the protest dying on Ariana’s lips. His fingers slip underneath, lightly tracing the swelling inj

a dream nonetheless

Married for A Million Dollars /K.B

Married For A Million Dollars.Chapter 39: a dream nonetheless .The last thing Ariana would expect is to peacefully arise in an incredible but unfamiliar bed after the multitude of crap she and Antonio had gone through that night. She thought of something more like endless nightmares frightening her to no extent, but instead slept dreamlessly.She wakes up to soft daylight greeting her outside of the glass panels. Ariana stretches in the covers, holding back a groan when her midsection burns in agony. It takes her a moment to register her surroundings after waiting for the pain to subside.The contemporary furniture compliments the slate gray and white color scheme. Burnished wood floors, metal accents, the view of the city’s skyline—all a part of the modern, masculine look. The room is surprisingly clean, aside from the stray comic books left abandoned on the coffee table, sweaters thrown across multiple chairs and the couch in front of the flat screen TV, where two controllers

little breaths moistening their lips

Married for A Million Dollars /K.B

Married For A Million Dollars.Chapter 40: little breaths moistening their lips.Williams easily recovers, setting the spoon down and sliding his hips onto the counter's edge to block the suggestive view.“Alright, team, that’s all. Please continue without me and email me the final decision,” he sighs, then slyly adds, “My baby’s up so I’m all hers now. Enjoy the rest of your day.”By the time Ariana can peek over his arm to see their reaction, the blank screen is shut close.She can’t help but sneer, “All mine, huh? Now your company will think of me as some needy bitch who walks around your place in my underwear.”Williams smiles, unfazed. “Nope. They’ll think of you as the poor, sickly fiancée that I’m nursing back to health. Why else would I be cooking in a damn apron during my meeting?”Softened, Ariana bites her lip and glances at the pan. “How’d you know I like kimchi fried rice?”He smirks and picks the spoon up. “Your friend, he told me. Thought it’d be obvious considering I

the past

Married for A Million Dollars /K.B

Married For A Million Dollars.Chapter 41: the past .Setting the cereal aside, she sneaks a glance at an impassive, nonetheless angry Williams. “My dad didn’t like the idea. He said to stay in here and help with the rent. He got me a job without my permission as a receptionist at an auto mechanic’s. The only catch was every person who tried out there left after the owner’s son fucked them. I knew I wouldn’t handle the job without murdering someone, so I declined the offer.”“He shouldn’t have suggested it in the first place,” Williams seethes, to which Ariana weakly smiles at.“I doubt he knew what actually went on there. He was barely updated on our house.” The myriad of distressing memories should’ve arrived by now, but is only replacement, regret, and a hint of sadness for what both father and daughter could’ve been.“Our argument wasn’t pretty. You’d know—you’ve seen how adamant I get. I was a little more passionate that day.” Williams’s response isn’t helping, and no matter

do you like?

Married for A Million Dollars /K.B

Married For A Million Dollars.Chapter 42: do you like? .Williams returns the smile. “You know my dad more than I do. Speaking of which, he dropped by earlier this morning to see how you were doing. A lot of people did, actually.”Ariana’s eyes widen. “I had visitors?”“Uh, yeah. Don’t you know many admirers you’ve gotten? I had to send them home since you were still sleeping, though. Didn’t look like you’d wake up anytime soon.”Ariana laughs. “Cruel.”“Well, I’m not an emotionally constipated tyrant for nothing,” Williams says sardonically.“Never thought it’d come in handy till now. As long as you’re not bossing me around, you’re good.”“Oh, please. As if you’d ever let me without breaking my face first.”“Come on,” Ariana snorts. “I’m not that bad. We both know you could use the beating, anyway.”Williams places Ariana’s hand on his knee. “You know I do it all for your own good, right?”“That sounds like a highly suspicious disclaimer. What are you up to now, Liam?”He briefly

icy

Married For A Million Dollars.Chapter 43: icy.But behind for what? This temporary arrangement which only lasts for a year? What will you do when it all ends?Ariana reminds herself—once again—that whatever comfort she’s enjoying right now won’t last forever. So would this weird, friendly alliance she’s created with Williams. She shouldn’t get used to the luxury no matter what, even if she’s a little desperate for a sense of home now.She’s half asleep when Williams returns, dressed in a tee tucked in his ripped jeans, his mop of chestnut hair falling above his forehead. Williams offers her a big towel before turning around for Ariana to cover herself. Once Ariana’s ready, he picks her back up and gently plants her onto the fuzzy bath mat.“I found your toiletries bag by the sink. Anything else?”Ariana shakes her head. “I’ll take it from here. Thanks.”A good ten minutes later, she discovers the younger sprawled over the couch, playing video games on his Playstation with a first a

a solemn promise

Married for A Million Dollars /K.B

Married For A Million Dollars.Chapter 44: a solemn promise .Williams bites his lip. “Don’t you at least want to know—”“Drop it, okay?” Ariana instantly regrets snapping. She tries again, softly, “She’s been confidential for years. Hearing how she is now won’t make a difference. She’s out of my life. Has been, always will be.”“It’s just that I think you—”“Williams, please. ” Ariana shoves the ice pack off and struggles to sit up, relaxing when the younger immediately beckons at her side.“I’m sorry. I won’t bring her up again,” he apologizes and tries placing the ice back, only for it to be swatted away.“I don’t want ice. I’m tired. Want to sleep,” Ariana says miserably.“We have to ice it a bit more, though.”But Williams won’t take her no for an answer and the next thing she knows, the ice pack is chilling on her abdomen for another hour.Ariana tosses the liquidy bag aside with a yawn. Williams then closes his laptop and says, “Time for bed, baby,” before taking the pack. H

to yearn or to not?

Married for A Million Dollars /K.B

Forget it all happened—”“Would you believe me if I said I fell in love with you at first sight?” Abel resigns with a loud sigh and avoids Ariana’s gaze. “Or would that come off as more pathetic than I already am?”When Ariana shakes her head in response, Abel continues. “Between you and me, I never believed in something far-fetched like that. Nor did I expect it happening to me the moment you stepped into the venue at your e
