CHAPTER TWENTY ONE

STEPHANIE “So how long have you guys been together” Aisha asked me with a cheerful smile fitted across her face?"‘Almost a year," I blurted out, still reeling from the sensation of Edward’s lips on mine. It was just a brief kiss, but I felt every single millisecond of it. “I feel offended he didn't say anything about it” I held Anna's hand protectively. Edward had left her in my care now. “Well don't blame him. It wasn't serious at first, then later he didn't want to admit I was the one for him. Until recently when he begun to have sleepless nights. He proposed” she laughed. I glanced at my fingers and noticed the ring was missing. I had tucked it away safely in the jewellery box to prevent losing it. I hadn't realised I was such a convincing liar until now. The lies were starting to roll off my tongue effortlessly.“Awwwn I'm so excited for you.” She nudged me with her elbow “Don't worry since you're here we’ll stay friends” She picked out a red bikini and flashed the pair befor

CHAPTER TWENTY TWO

STEPHANIE The wedding planner, Deloris, seemed to have everything sorted out as if it had all been meticulously arranged beforehand. I found myself standing there, feeling like an unnecessary presence, as she inquired whether I wanted this or that, and then promptly decided on my behalfI knew the marriage was a sham, and the wedding would be too, but for my parents and friends, it was my first wedding and should be something special. I was so upset with Edward that I was relieved when I didn't see him the next morning. With Anna off to school, it was just Emma and me listening to the wedding planner, who was dressed in a suit and high-silhouette heels.She knew what she was doing but I felt she would have given me room to make a choice. “I’ve had the hotel room for after the wedding booked out already in one of the most luxurious suits in town” I nodded.“Mr Dan's male friends will have to appear in a midnight blue suit,” She wrote something down. “What's his favourite colour?” “W

CHAPTER TWENTY THREE

EDWARD I stood by the platform with Ryan, a few other friends, and the pastor. I wasn't bothered that we were going to lie when we said our vows or promises 'til death do us part. Even god knew I needed to inherit this company. With all the effort I'd put in, I deserved more. Everyone seemed genuinely happy for me, and I couldn't help but wonder why they all wanted me to just move on. I wasn't even certain if I'd moved on from her.I watched my grandmother gaze at me with pride while my father's expression still looked sceptical. Honestly, I just wanted to get it over with. I hadn't seen Stephanie since the day before, and I hoped she had not backed out. Emma mentioned she was with her family, and I left it at that. It might be their last long time together. I hadn't seen her that morning either, and I just hoped she hadn't backed out, as it would be a disaster for me and all over the internet. I crossed my fingers and stood there, trying to keep my cool.When I heard the soft t

CHAPTER TWENTY FOUR

STEPHANIE We arrived at the hotel and were greeted by a hostess who followed us into the elevator. She congratulated me and I ignored her, chugging from my bottle.I could feel her eyes on me, and it was clear that Edward was feeling uneasy. It didn't bother me, though, all I wanted was to have a drink and let go of everything that had unfolded earlier that day. Before long, we found ourselves in our room, with the hostess having left us and Edward quietly closing the door behind us. The room was beautifully adorned with garlands and bouquets, creating a lovely atmosphere. White petals were scattered across the king-size bed, and a charming dinner setting was arranged by the balcony.“This would all be beautiful if I didn't marry an asshole,” I said. I didn't mind anything or anyone, because now my mind was occupied with nothing."I always dreamed of this luxury, never certain I'd experience it until you came along and made me despise it," I said, turning to Edward, who had removed

CHAPTER TWENTY FIVE

STEPHANIE His voice sent a thousand lightnings across my body. His look driving through me made me feel naked. Sex was not part of our contract. Why was he saying we needed to consummate our wedding? Was he horny?“What's wrong with you?” I questioned “Are you drunk too?“Trust me Love, you wouldn't like it if I'm drunk right now “ I laughed. Was he someone who misbehaved? “Don't tell me you're someone who gets crazy when they are drunk” “No, Trust me, if I was drunk, you wouldn't leave this room walking properly” He moved closer, totally into my space now, eyes teasing me. “I'd fuck the shit out of you, till you pass out” My mind was in a whirl, and I found myself utterly speechless. Was he just some lustful creep or what? His gaze wandered from my lips to my neck and then down to my chest. The dress I wore was cut low, perfectly accentuating my bust. He leaned in, pressing his face into my neck, and took an awkward sniff of my scent. It was utterly bizarre, and all I wanted was

CHAPTER TWENTY SIX

EDWARD I had slept in with my thoughts and the discomfort in my pants. It was a new day and I needed to make it count. I made myself a cup of coffee and took out my MacBook to work. I opened my email to check out the proposal Steven had sent to me. It's about redeveloping a fraction, Old Musty, with unmodernised houses, and the eviction notice has been sent out, and the compensation fee for the family is waiting for me to approve it. This was a big project I had to achieve so my father could see that I could have Dan Realty in my name. Even Anderson had tried to get this project but could not. I had to no matter what. Yes, I've tied the knot, but knowing my dad, he wouldn't just hand over the company, so I had to prove myself. Once I've finished redeveloping this section, he'll have no choice but to entrust not only Dan Realty but all the others to me. I reviewed the blueprint of the site and highlighted areas that needed adjustments and redesigns. Then, Stevens' message popped u

CHAPTER TWENTY SEVEN

STEPHANIE It's been a day and a half, and I haven't heard from Edward or even bothered to see him. I didn't know if he left already or was in his room. And I didn't go out either, I just stayed in and caught up on my favourite series on TV. I was all set to enjoy myself alone, even if he didn't want to, but somehow, he had managed to kill my enthusiasm. Now, all I feel like doing is eating junk food and snacking endlessly.A part of me was expecting an apology message from him, but I know that even in my next life Edward would never send an apology message to me. Olivia and my mom were so curious about our honeymoon, and I had to lie that something urgent at work occurred, and it needed Edwards' time. So he's been quite busy but promised to make it up to me. It worked, no one bothered asking too many questions. My phone beside me on the bed dinged, and Edward's message popped up.‘By 7 pm tomorrow I'll be returning to the house. Since you don't want to leave I'll send my driver to

CHAPTER TWENTY EIGHT

I took a shower in my room, dressed in a silk night dress, before looking for Edward's room. I've never bothered to know where it was because the house was massive. Plus no one offered to give me a tour. I knew he always took a turn after a very large glass picture frame hanging down. I did find a door. It must be his room because that was the only one there. I knocked slightly and heard no response. I turned the handle and walked in. It was an astonishing sight. It was a large space that could be two of my whole house put together. It smelt of Luxury because I could see a diffuser on a stand emanating a Tuscan scent. The lounge area was arranged with sofas which the quality Italian leather could be sighted from after. A large bed stood by the side adorned with crisp white sheets and silk pillows. Large canvas and picture frames hung on the wall. It was beautiful. I couldn't help but look around the crystal chandelier raining down its light on me. I searched everywhere but could

CHAPTER TWENTY NINE

STEPHANIE I woke up to the scent of musk and Leather oud drifting into my nose. As I tried to figure out where I was, I noticed Edward was already dressed for work. He had on black trousers and a blue shirt with the sleeves rolled up, showing off his veiny arms. I could still make out his firm torso through the shirt. I had no idea when he even got up. I need to sort out my sleep schedule. It was his cologne that had filled the room and fogged my mind.He glanced at me while adjusting his watch, catching me staring, and I awkwardly sat up. "You don't need to go to work today. I don't want to see you," he said, turning away. "Find something else to do." He seemed so angry, which was odd because even though he rarely smiles, he usually just looks manipulative, not angry. Did I mess up last night?“Why don't you want me at work?” I asked.He didn't look up. “Stay home or come to work, you'll be paid otherwise. So why bother?” He walked to the bedside picking up his MacBook. “I've spoke

CHAPTER THIRTY

STEPHANIE I felt a mix of worry and anger after hanging up with my Mom. I couldn't wrap my head around why Edward, of all people, would want to redevelop my town. He's visited before, so what sparked this idea? We had already fought against Alexander, and now this? It left me feeling unsettled. I'll have a word with him when he's back, maybe he forgot that it's my home. I tried to calm my nerves, by convincing myself that he wasn't aware. I'll approach him calmly, and I'm sure he'll reconsider the development.Feeling hungry now, I wandered down to the kitchen and found the chef, Martine, who stood up as soon as he saw me. He was a plump French cook, and from what I've tasted, he was excellent at his job."What would you like, Mrs Dan?" he asked, which felt odd since no one had ever asked me what I wanted before, I was usually the one doing the serving.I grinned, "Just call me Stephanie," and glanced around the spacious kitchen. "I want some pasta, but I'd like to make it myself.
