All Chapters of A Marriage Of Convenience: Chapter 41 - Chapter 50

Anthony's point of viewFew days after that club outing and things hadn't changed with Vanessa. She skirted around me, watched her words and when she could, she avoided me. I wouldn't lie and say it didn't hurt because it kinda did. But I was determined to give her as much space as she wanted.We had sex whenever she wanted though. Mind blowing sex at various locations of the house, it was almost like we couldn't get enough of each other.But once we were done, like today, the day of my mother's party, she rolled away from me and went to wear her bathrobe."We have to stop this pretense one day Princess," I said, I watched her walk around the room lazily, she picked up various clothing items that had found their way on the floor when we tumbled into the room.She rolled her eyes at me "I don't think I'm ready to accept it all Anthony, I still need time to process everything," She said, more like muttered to herself.She walked towards the laundry basket and dropped the clothes there.

Vanessa's point of view"Auction?" I asked, feeling a bit stupid.I did not know the Thorn family did auctions in their parties but I had never gone for a Thorn party before except the Christmas time one and a lot of children had been there."What are they auctioning?" I asked, whispered turning to Anthony.He would give me a reply that wouldn't feel mocking.But Valentina answered before Anthony got a chance to."Pretty girls and their talents," She said, she raised her glass to her lips and I could have sworn she winked at me.Elizabeth slammed her hand on the table "Shut up and stop confusing the girl Valentina," She turned to Valentine with the most murderous expression I had ever seen on her "Control your daughter or I might have to teach her some manners," She sneered at him.Other tables were starting to watch ours with a mild interest and I thought I saw someone that looked like Daniel got up. If that expression Elizabeth was sporting had been meant for me, I would have start

Anthony's point of viewIt's been two days since we went for my parent's charity auction event and Vanessa and I have been going on stronger. We spend the evenings after a stressful day together, just talking and learning more about the other person.There are so many new things I found out about Vanessa because of this event. She was scared of flying yes but she loved watching the stars now. And she had dated two other guys who weren't exactly up to par.Today I planned on taking her to a real dinner date. I told my plans to Ronald when we were still in my office, going over plans over the fact that he would be travelling away for some time. I needed him to check on some of my hotels personally."Well you sound like you're falling inlove Anthony," Ronald said plainly, he didn't think about it, just said it plainly and openly.I snickered at that. I wasn't falling inlove. I did not plan on falling inlove. There was no decision to fall inlove."I'm not falling inlove Ronald, I'm not a

Anthony's point of viewI knew from the murderous look the owner gave to me that I made him lose some money, plus he probably knew what we had to do that made us late."The best view in all my restaurants and the most private too," He said.The view was breathtaking no doubt, the table and chairs at the middle, a jacuzzi at the other end looking incredibly tempting, the ambience of this place was just incredible. But I found myself staring at Vanessa, the desire to make her happy was just as overwhelming if not more than anything I have ever done.I moved the hair that fell over her face out of her eyes, the desire to continue what we were doing in the car coming in full force. After all I hadn't get my relief. But that was something that would happen once we were back home and Victoria was long gone."Well Anthony," He turned to Vanessa, "And his beautiful wife," The sides of his mouth threatened to come up because of Vanessa's smile most probably.It was too contagious."I hope that

Vanessa's point of viewToday I planned on going to Valentine's warehouse, to show him some new designs and get what he thinks about them.I had sent some to Lucas already and he claimed they were great but I still wanted professional advice.Wrapping my hair into a bun and watching myself in the mirror proved to be a difficult task, I didn't look tired so why did I feel tired."Where are you going to?" Anthony would have asked, he would have laid on the bed with his phone in his hands while watching every single thing I do. Then promptly tease me when the situation got overwhelming.I hadn't realised I would miss him so much until it started happening. Perhaps I should have gone on the business trip with him like he suggested.No, no, no. I have to do something to get me on my feet. We can stay away from each other for three days, we did it for six years and we're still okay.After watching numerous tiktok videos on how to correctly apply makeup, I knew I could do the most basic make
