All Chapters of My arranged marriage: Emelda and Bryan. : Chapter 41 - Chapter 50

Emelda's POV I stood in shock for about a minute, everything around me frozen.It can't be! With my heart racing, and my feet barely able to keep up with Bryan, I quickly rushed after Bryan down the stairs.My hands were shaking as I tried to grip the rail for support, and my eyes opened wide with shock as I tried to take in what was happening."Bryan, wait!" I called out, my voice shaky and uncertain as I tried to catch up to him, my breath coming in short gasps as I fought to keep pace, my mind filled with fear and panic.As we reached the street, the sight of Jonathan lying motionless on the ground made my blood run cold, my heart leaping into my throat as I saw the pool of blood spreading beneath him.I shook my head in disbelief, struggling to comprehend the horror of the scene before me."Jonathan!" I gasped, my voice a high, shrill cry as I ran to his side, my knees hitting the pavement with a

Emelda's POV The silence in the room grew heavier, my heart skipped as I realized what had happened. "Time of death," Dr. Anderson announced, his voice somber and resigned as he pronounced the final words.He switched his gaze for a moment from the doctor's to us and then back to Jonathan's body, his eyes sad and sympathetic as he looked at the body, his gaze filled with sorrow as he continued. "9:00 PM.”I gasped, placing my hands over my mouth as my mind reeled and struggled to process the loss, my breath catching in my throat as I fought to hold back the tears.As the Dr.Anderson’s words hung in the air, I felt my body grow heavy and weak, my legs trembling as I struggled to remain standing, my breath quickening as I tried to hold back the tears which welled up, ready to overflow.And then, without warning, my knees buckled and I collapsed to the ground.My body fell forward as I let out a choked sob. With my face buried in my hands, I allowed the tears I had held back for too lo

Bryan's POVEmelda looked exceptionally beautiful in her simple red corporate dress. This time, she allowed her silk hair to fall backwards as she used a black hair clip to keep them in perfect position.“Are you sure you will be fine? You really don't want me to call the office?” She asked for the third time that morning, her face etched with worry.“Emelda," I said, my voice gentle as I reached out to stroke her cheek, my thumb brushing against her skin as I spoke, my eyes filled with tenderness and affection as I continued."I’m going to be okay," I assured her, my words filled with conviction as I spoke, my voice steady and strong as I continued. "I'm really fine actually, I can handle things, and I will actually have to be at work too. There's an important meeting I need to attend."Emelda still didn't look like she bought what I was saying. She looked at me intensely, her eyes furrowing into a slight frown."I know you want to be there for me," I added, my voice soft and unders

Emelda's POV I stared at Bryan with confusion and anger in my eyes, I still couldn't wrap it all yet in my head. I couldn't believe I had stayed with them for months and didn't know who I was truly married to even Jonathan might have only felt pity for me. How can I be such a fool and naive. It's all coming together now,this was all a game and I fell for their so called game.As Bryan spoke, his voice calm and professional as he addressed the assembled crowd, my anger and indignation began to rise within me, my blood boiling as I listened to his words."How were they able to keep this secret so well?" I thought to myself, my fists clenching as I watched him, my mind reeling with a sense of hurt and betrayal.I remembered Jonathan. Jonathan was literally a simple looking elderly man whenI met him for the first time. If he was that rich, he wouldn't choose my stepmother’s bar house to drink at. That bar house was a dirty hole compared to the luxurious ones. I remembered the way I ha

Bryan's POV My mouth widened in shock and my fingers which gently held on to my favourite magazine lost its grip, allowing the magazine fall to the floor. “Damn! She's gorgeous.” I said to myself, my eyes still wide open.I could literally feel my heart beating furiously in my chest as I stared at her wondering what particular day she was created.The dark blue gown I got her was indeed perfect for her as it clinged unto her slender body, revealing her delicate curves. And then, just as I took in every detail of the dress on her body, she closed the bedroom door behind her and began walking towards me. As the sound of her footsteps approached, my breath caught in my throat as I looked up, my eyes meeting hers. I struggled to find the words to express how stunning she looked, her beauty almost too much to take in."Emelda," I finally spoke, my voice filled with wonder and awe as I stood, approached her, "Yo
