All Chapters of A Marriage Of Convenience: Chapter 21 - Chapter 30

Vanessa's point of viewThe only thing amiss in the Thorn mansion was the lack of anything worthy enough to be called an emergency.However there was a few new additions. Not at the front of the mansion but at the back situated in the garden. Chairs were wrapped and arranged carefully side by side and there was this small pulpit where the priest was going to ordain the marriage.Elizabeth was nowhere to be found but I could see my sister and Daniel, Elizabeth husband ordering some people around and cussing out loud when they got it wrong."Where the fuck is the emergency and my brother?" I shouted out loud to no one in particular but to everyone that could give me answers.Mary was by my side but she said nothing.The activities going on in the garden continued going on but Victoria and Daniel turned around at the sound of my voice. Daniel gave me a strained smile that did not reach his eyes while Victoria was ecstatic to see me."I'm so happy Anthony was able to get you to come on ti

Anthony's point of viewThe after party was interesting enough but honestly I just wanted to go home now. The events of the day had really exhausted me.My grandparents had gotten Vanessa in a chokehold and did not seem to want to leave her side any time soon. I knew my grandmother was already smitten by her judging by the numerous amount of times she kept on holding her cheeks.My grandfather too but he wasn't going to show it.Honestly, I just wanted to walk past without anyone noticing but my grandfather had eyes sharper than a hawk. He saw me and he called me over. I couldn't move forward without looking like a rude man who would definitely hear about it later."I see you guys have become acquianted with my lovely wife" I said, placed my hands casually on her waist then place a kiss on her cheeks.Grandma smacked my hand "Don't you think you guys have done enough kissing for today. Don't traumatize the older generation" She placed her hands over her eyes to drive home her point.G

Vanessa's point of view"Why the heck is this place scattered? Just two days and this place is a dump" I screamed as soon as I opened the door to my apartment.My ex apartment.Mary was seated on the floor, legs crossed together and arms stretched to the back in an abnormal yoga position. Mary was doing yoga. She only did yoga when she was stressed."What's wrong?" I asked coming to her side as fast as I could, I wrapped my hand around her shoulder.I could feel the tremors that occured within various intervals, the struggle not to cry as she shook really badly. I did the only thing I knew I would be able to do. I continued to hold her until every single tremor had stopped, every tiny hiccup was quenched and she could give me a smile on that pretty little face.Dressed in a simple sports bra and leggings, Mary looked like she should be in the gym she had a membership in and not in the apartment."I'm okay really" She said, her lips breaking into a grin that did not quite reach her ey

Anthony's point of viewWatching Vanessa sleep turned out to be my favorite pastime once I got married to her. The rise and fall of her chest as she breathe in and out, the soft sighs she made which indicated she must have been having some sort of dream and the way she trashed around sometimes when she could feel no one on the bed with her.The questions she asked earlier kept on disturbing me.What would I have done if Ronald had told me he was inlove with me?How would I react in a situation like that?I had joked around the question, using jokes as my answer. Ronald would never be inlove with me because I wasn't even his type.And Ronald had talked to her friend without informing me. Was that the emergency he had to attend that was so important? We had not talked since the day of the wedding and despite my numerous calls which went to voicemail and my texts, he hadn't really answered any of them.And finally it dawned on me.The sudden realization hit me like a brick. The stress an

Anthony's point of viewI wouldn't have expected the sight in front of me but yet there it was, standing seductively in front of me like the temptress she was."Well Mr Thorn, don't you like what you see" She purred like a cat making me grimace.I raised an hand to stop her "I don't understand what the fuck you think is happening but it's not going to happen" I picked up the documents I needed then stretched my hands forward. She looked at my outstretched hands with confusion written all over her face."I need my keys back Josephine, I'm a married man now and I think whatever fooling around you're envisioning should stop right now" I said to her "I told you we were done"Confusion mixed with shock were the emotions written on her face now, her eyebrows raised high up and her mouth getting into an open O shape.She nodded her head and walked to where ever she kept the keys and when she was back, she handed them over to me.I took them and told her to leave the office. She would be tr
