Copper, named after her grandmother, was told to her face that she was the black sheep of her family. She got into fights, hang out with the bad crowd, and had the biggest crush on a teacher. However just when her parents couldn't take it anymore, a driver appeared outside of her school and informed her that her grandfather, the richest man in their city, and a man she'd done her best to forget about, wants to reunite. Kenny Greenland refused every woman his parents brought to marry him. Fed up with his folks, he made a deal. He would only marry the grandchild of his master, knowing full well that his master didn't have grandchildren. However, to his surprise the most dashing young lady he has ever seen claims to be his master's grandchild. She whispered, "Keep your promise, darling." From family conflicts, to poisonous rivals, outside forces were happy to stop the union of two powerful families, but they don't know who they're messing with. Whoever tried would live to regret it.

It’s not realistic that you claim to be from the Harmony family and yet not experience any of the benefits having that kind of money brings.”Oh, I see. That’s what it is. I kept my calm. “I haven’t lied, if that’s what you’re insinuating. I simply wasn’t raised to be concerned about that stuff.”“Yeah, I bet,” Emily giggled. Sabrine reached forward and whispered into her ear loud enough for me to hear.“I bet she’s some poor scholarship student who’s lying about her last name to seem interesting. If that’s not the case, she’s probably the daughter of a staff member. The ones that clean up after the important people.”I could feel my anger rising to the surface. I breathed in, then breathed out. I’m not at my old school anymore. I made a promise to my grandfather and my parents that I would be on my best behavior. Being
Kenny "That's completely fine with me," I told her. My attention was on Copper, but I was watching Justin through the corner of my eyes. "I'll be home all day, so you'll see me when you get back. My friend is keeping me company." I gestured towards Justin with my hand, causing Justin to sit up properly so she could see him. "Oh." She blinked. Shortly afterwards, Copper formed a smile. "Hi! Sorry, I didn't see you there. Good morning, uh... Sorry, I don't know your name." "Justin." He smiled back. "Nice to meet you." "Nice to meet you too, Justin. I'm Copper." She brought her gaze back to me. "I have my keys, so I'll let myself in when I come back. See you later, bye Justin.” “As, uh, same!” Justin fumbled through his words. By the time he finished talking, Copper had already made it to the front door. She closed it behind her. After she left, Justin looked back at me so fast that I thought he must have been trying to break his own neck. “Sooo, she seems nice,” he said. I
Copper I didn't know how to respond to him. I couldn't. All I could do was grip onto this pristine, white Oakwood table. What I didn't realize that night was that I was scared. Scared that when I tell him the truth, he will take Darling's side and accuse me of being jealous. He'd tell me that I was trying to stain Darling's name because I didn't like her. then he wouldn't listen to a word I say for the next two years, effectively destroying the peace I've worked to build between us. She's his love after all. In what world would he believe me when his "angel" says otherwise? He has never been the nicest person, but he might fully turn against me. But at the time, all I felt was a lot of conflicting feelings that I couldn't quite put into words. After a few deep breaths, I felt a bit calmer. Copper, I thought to myself. Going off on Kenny now would cause problems for me later. Besides, he didn't do anything. I combed my fingers through my hair and took one last, deep breath. I sp
Copper I waited for her to do something, to scream, shout or try to insult me more, but she only smiled an eerie smile. "Yes, Mrs. Greenland. I understand perfectly." My face formed a frown. I know girls like Darling. They don't give up the fight so easily. Then again, maybe I didn't know her at all. Darling let out a scream so loud she pierced my eardrums. I covered my ears. "What the hell is your problem?!" "I have many problems, but you take the cake." Before I could blink, she dropped to the ground fake crying and holding her knee. That's not the only thing she does. Darling beats the area below her knee several times. "What the hell?!" I yelled, pulling her hand away. "Are you out of your goddamn mind?" My eyes widen in horror as she laughs. She rips her hand from my hold. "No, but I can be. Stand back and watch the fireworks, bitch." Footsteps hurry over to where we were. Darling returns to her previous state, still holding her knee. Caroline was the first one to arrive.
Copper At first glance, she seemed like a simple lady with an outfit that covered her from head to toe. She had a small, round, childlike face that suited her big eyes. The makeup that she chose suited her facial features and added to that look of innocence with a sprinkle of maturity. Darling Stark, was it? I wonder why she's here. Darling brushed her wavy, black hair over her shoulder. I offered her the same smile I gave everyone else. "Nice to meet you, Darling. I haven't seen you before, are you from this area?" She shakes her head. "Not entirely. I was away for a little while, but I'm thinking of moving back soon. I hope that's no trouble to you, Miss Harmony." I raised my eyebrow. Why would that be a problem for me? I barely know her. "I can see you're confused." Georgina touches Darling's shoulder. "This here is Kenny's old love, the one whose place you're occupying right now." Darlng's smile broadened. "Yes, I can't wait to be reunited with him! I was hoping to see him t
Kenny While Copper met with her grandfather, I went to the sunroom and looked at the information my assistant sent me. Attached to his text is a link. I clicked on it. It brought me to a video. In it, the same woman who appeared at my wedding, whose name I don't even know, was kicked out of my family house that my father and his wife still live in. The people kicking them out are members of the security force hired by my family. The angle makes it look like a drone took a video. Anyone would think that the drone belongs to the press. Which makes sense. But I don't have the same thought. To me, all I see are my enemies working hard to take down my name. I can't wait to see who's behind this so that I can give them a very friendly slap on the face. I told my assistant to fire a private investigator without my father knowing. Just then, Copper enters the sunroom. "You're done here?" I look up and see the state of her face. Her eyes were red and slightly puffy. Her cheeks are also fl
Copper"So that's the boy you got married to," Mom said after Kenny went outside. "He's not giving you any problems, is he?"I brought the used dishes to the sink. "Not at all. He's a little straightforward, but not too hard to handle. He didn't want this marriage either so we sort of understand each other."Except that he keeps his distance from me for some reason. However, I don't mind. As long as he doesn't behave childishly and take out his dissatisfaction on me, there won't be a problem."That's good." Mom chuckles. "He doesn't seem like the talkative type."I shrugged. "He speaks when he has something to say and only then. Quite an odd fellow, right?""You've got that right." She kept smiling. What was that about?"Mom? What's wrong?" She shook her head. "I just never thought that when you get married, it would be like this. This wasn't what I envisioned for you.""It's only for two years." I shrugged and added soap to the dishwasher. "Besides, there's always later. I never pla
CopperThe sunroom had a beautiful view of the outside. The garden can be seen from here. I couldn't care less about it.One of the maids gave me a blanket, which I gratefully accepted. My anger had died down since this morning, but my anger didn't.Another maid was kind enough to give me a simple chicken sandwich when I asked for something to eat. Well, maybe I shouldn't say kind. It was her job after all. But I appreciated that she didn't have an attitude about it like the maids I saw on TV. "You can tell my grandfather that I'm ready to go home now," I told one of the guards standing by. He shook his head. "Not yet, Miss. Mr. Harmony will be with you shortly."Of course, he will. But I don't want to see his face. Or his cane. Or even be in this house anymore.My anger boiled up again, walking hand in hand with my uncertainty. The guard must have seen the look on my face because he quickly cleared his throat and averted his gaze. "Uh, I just received word that your husband has jus
KennyWhat was wrong with me? What was wrong with her?Sleep eluded me, and for good reason. I still had no intention of getting close to her, not even a little. But it seems that she felt the same. That filled me with an unknown emotion that was hard to describe. While sitting there with her, I expected to be annoyed with her presence alone. Yet each time she unwrapped a gift, each little comment she made wasn't enough to make me feel that way. Her eyes brightened when she smelled something she liked and narrowed when confronted with something she didn't understand.It might just be all in my head, but I saw what looked like disdain when she realized the truth about our wedding "gifts". I took off my T-shirt and resigned to sleeping half-naked. Mother and Father got what they wanted, I'm married now. When will they get it that what people think of me is none of my concern? People should be looking up to me for my intelligence, not looking down on me because of some stupid rumours.
