All Chapters of Arranged Marriage to the Playboy Heir: Chapter 11 - Chapter 20

LAWRENCE’S POVI swore to find out whoever it is that had dared take a picture of Bianca and I. I would make him or her regret it. In the past I never worried when the media carried news about me but now it involves Bianca, I can’t let any of them have her face splattered all over the media and fools going after her. I can’t afford to let her get hurt. Never.All through the journey back home, I couldn’t stop myself from fuming. The happy moment of my life was cut short by some darn reporter. However, the short time I spent with Bianca would live with me forever. I can’t wait for five years to be over and this fake marriage of mine dissolved.“Stay here and wait okay? Charley will come get you and bring you home.” I had told Bianca and hid her where Director Mason wouldn’t find her. She nodded quietly. I pulled her into my arms, “I’m sorry our time was ruined and cut short...”“Okay.”Slowly with unwilling heart, I let go of her and stride out of the place. Stopping at the doorpost,

LAWRENC’S POVI was on my way to Williams Fashion group. The words of my Uncles ate deep into me. Everyone thinks I preferred to bum around and live a carefree life because I am irresponsible but no one knows my real reason for staying away from my father’s company.It didn’t need to be said directly to me but I knew the day I begin to show interest in Williams group of companies, my life would be in danger. Father loved his brothers, I hate to be the reason he will discover the hate in them. I know how much it would hurt him. But what can I do now, I can’t run away from it anymore. I must protect my life and the life of my family.“We are here, sir.” Jessie announced as he brought the car to a stop.“Oh,” I drew in a breath as his voice pulled me out of my thoughts that had momentarily wandered off. I picked my phone and stepped down from the car. A short rounded man I recognized as the director of the fashion group, suited and standing beside him two other suited men started to appr

VERONICA’S POV“What? Quit my work??? Are you crazy?” Vincent flared up. He probably would have shot me dead with the way his eyes glared hard at me.“No, Vincent, don’t see it that way. I mean you can always get job somewhere else, you are very good at what you do. Any hospital out there would take you....”“Enough!” He growled and I flinched.Oh shoot, I thought it was the best plan. I was going to retreat but the words of Chairman Williams charged me up again.I covered up the small distance between us and held his hands in mine. “How about working in Williams Hospital? They are the best in the country. I will...”“Yes, you will speak to your husband about it? To offer me a job in his father’s hospital?” His face contorted with contempt.“Vin...” I tried to speak but he cut me off halfway.“What am I to you right now? Your plaything? One you will push aside soon?”My shoulders dropped and my hold on him loosened. His eyes darkened, I had never seen Vincent that outraged before. Wha

LAWRENCE’S POVThis isn’t supposed to be any of my business but why do I feel concerned?I noticed Veronica had come home looking sad. Mother had come to have dinner with us. She probably didn’t notice but I did.During dinner, mother had revealed one of my embarrassing moments as kid to her and together they made jest of me.After dinner, she saw mother off and when she got back in, I thought she would make fun of me with my embarrassing childhood story but instead she had climbed upstairs ignoring me where I was sitting in the sitting room.I had shrugged it off, waving it off with the feeling that she could really be stressed from work and needed to get some rest.I picked my phone and sent a message to Bianca. The thought of the sweet moment I had with her wouldn’t leave my head. Her scent was already living rent free in my head and I found myself hopelessly grinning hard at the thought of the wet kisses she had planted on my cheeks.I can’t believe this really was happening. My

VERONICA’S POVFor the first time, I felt a part of me soften for Lawrence. Seeing how scared and hopeless he had fallen when he discovered the models for the wedding dress and suit had disappeared.I know, I know how much time he had invested in the project. I heard he had to prove to his father and board how much capable he can be. Poor thing. I wonder where those darn models could be.I suggested he be the model which he agreed to after a bit of disagreement. I guess he realized how he was empty with options. This was the only chance he had left. Our best chance.He followed the dressers into one of the dressing room to get changed into the suit and the rest of the dressers was left to attend to me. I really hoped we were doing the right thing.Minutes later, Jessie briskly walked into the changing room.“Director Lawrence is wanted in the meeting room.” He said.The dressers were already in the finishing touches on my face. I ordered that they hurried up.Almost at the same time,
