All Chapters of Arranged Marriage to the Playboy Heir: Chapter 51 - Chapter 60

VERONICA’S POVAll day I waited for Lawrence to give me a call. I hated myself for it because it only ended up in getting me disappointed. At the time I had given up and only wanted to bury whatever silly thoughts I had about him to work, he showed up unannounced.I felt the butterflies in my belly leap ecstatically at the sight of him but all the pleasantness and whatever butterfly that evaded my insides soon vanished the moment I was reminded of my resolve.“Is there something you wished to say?” I asked him with a straight face.He was mute for a split second and then he said, “Urh...well, I just came to check up on you. You left quite early in the morning.”“We could have spoken at home. Why did you have to come all the way here? You must have been busy with work.” I spoke flatly, so uninterested in whatever he had to say. I bet he must have noticed it as the excitement in his tone withered.He decided to let me get back to work and let us talk at home. I mumbled a low ‘okay’ and

WRITER’S POVOver the next weeks, Veronica made it a duty to avoid Lawrence. She made sure to be up from sleep before he did and slept before he got back from work.Since Lawrence got quite busier at work, there wasn’t much he could do to go against Veronica’s well laid out plan.“Well, it’s for the best, I guess...” he had murmured one night when he got in from work and found her already asleep.He got out of his suit, had his bath after which he crept into his own side of the bed.The next morning, Veronica slept in unknowingly. By the time she was up, Lawrence was already out of bed.Her eyes scanned around the room in search of Lawrence.Where did he go? She wondered.After a few seconds, she shrugged and relaxed back into the bed. It wasn’t new that he always went to work on weekends.A painful feeling tugged at her chest.Last night when he got back, she was still up and scrolling through her phone but once she heard his footsteps approaching the door, she had shut her phone off

VERONICA’S POVLawrence and I joined the dining table.“You went up to see your room with your husband? Awn, that’s so sweet!” Mom squealed.“It’s not what you think mom.” I corrected.“How was it? Did you like her room while she was single?” Mom asked facing Lawrence.“Urh, yes, her room is beautiful and nice.” Lawrence replied.“She wasn’t always a tidy girl though. I’m glad you didn’t get to see that.” Mom added.“Mother! You don’t have to tell him that!” I cried wondering why mom had to make Lawrence hear that about me.Lawrence smiled a little but didn’t make a comment.“Alright, let’s dig in.” Father said before we began to eat.I turned to Matilda, “So, sis, how is it going with your new catch?”“Don’t call him that! He isn’t a catch. He is my crush whom I will make my man very soon.” Matilda shot at me.I giggled. “I hope it lasts this time around.” I almost said that but knew better. My sister temper wasn’t always nice.“So, Lawrence, how has it been, marrying my daughter in

LAWRENCE’S POVShe shut her eyes. I wasn’t expecting that. I only wanted to fix her seatbelt but seeing how innocent and pretty she looked had my little man acting up again. I felt my blood rush. I wanted to feel her lips; trail my fingers over them and kiss her badly. I was tempted to do it more than anything but I pulled myself back. I still hadn’t figured out why she was so mad about us having sex. I had no intentions of aggravating the situation.I fixed her seatbelt and relaxed back to my seat. I was still admiring her pretty face and all when she slowly opened her eyes. She was confused and when I explained to her how I fixed her seatbelt, I saw her face reddened. Then she wound down the glasses and stared out the window.Seeing how embarrassed she was made me almost giggle out but I held back myself.She is even cute when she is embarrassed...We didn’t say a word to each other afterwards. I would have tried perhaps but Veronica never spared another look my way after the incide

WRITER’S POVLawrence drove for minutes, unsettled and unsure of which hospital to take Bianca to. He couldn’t take her to just any hospital for the fear of quacks but yet couldn’t take him to the best hospitals for the fear of the media finding out. Above all, his heart was almost in wrenches. He had wished to have a nice life with Veronica.Why has nothing ever worked in my favor...even once... His jaw tightened at his own thought.“You have literally been driving around town the entire time. There’s a hospital over there. You can just pull over there and we will get this done and over with. You don’t have to worry about me because seriously I don’t know any nurse or doctor in there.” Bianca said with annoyance. Lawrence indecisiveness was beginning to pick a nerve on her.Lawrence slowly brought the car to a pause in front of the hospital. The hospital was familiar. It was among one of the good ones in the country. But what he couldn’t say was how many people would be able to reco
