HARMONY'S POV:
It was a bright and sunny Saturday morning in New York with it's normal hustle and bustle. I was busy cleaning my apartment from last night half sleepover. By the way I should call Meg to know if she's alright. My doorbell suddenly rang. "I wonder who it could be so early." I went to see who it was and surprisingly my parents were at my door step. Wow my parents rarely visits unless something was up "Mom, dad.... what are you doing here" I asked curiousily. "Is that how to greet your parents in the morning?" Dad asked jokingly. I quickly gave them a hug and kisses on their cheeks "Sorry Dad, mom... Please do come in." They entered my apartment and went straight to my living room. Thank God I had finished cleaning up the mess Meg and I made last night. "Glad to see you can keep your apartment clean" dad said looking around my sitting room "Dad!! What's that supposed to mean?" I asked folding my hands "What?, Don't look at me like that. Since you are a terrible cook, it's nice to know that you are neat" he said teasingly while mom giggles. Well it's true, I can't cook to save my life. One time I tried preparing pancakes.....big mess. The house almost caught on fire. "Mom, tell Dad to stop teasing me" I said pouting while dad laughed so hard "Oh Gerald, stop pulling her legs"she said laughing as well "But it's the truth" I just rolled my eyes "I know but..." They were probably going to start arguing soon "Guys... guys, stop arguing and tell me why I owe this August visit." They both stopped and looked serious for once. I wonder what they want to tell me. No offense but my parents are never serious. They are always joking, arguing and pulling each other's legs. I wonder what's up. "Sit down sweetie, we have something important to tell you" mom said walking over to seat beside me "What's wrong mom, dad did someone die?, oh my God!! Did something happen to Meg?. She left early yesterday"I said getting worried already "Tell her Gerald"mom looked at dad nervously "Well?, Are you going to tell me or not" I was getting impatient and I felt like something big is about to happen, something that will change my life forever "Well you see Harmony...."my dad never calls me by my full name unless it was serious. He calls me harms instead, weird I know. I mean who calls their daughter Harms?. "You are getting married in two weeks"he dropped the bomb. I couldn't help bursting into laughter while rolling on the floor "That was a good one dad, really cracked me up." I said trying to recover from my laughter. I haven't laughed that much in a while "He's serious Harmony."mom said looking serious. Wait are they for real, I couldn't recognize them because the parents I knew loved me more than anything and, would never do this to me. "How could you say that am getting married to someone I don't even know? am I a burden to you guys? Is that why you're trying to get rid of me?" I felt so betrayed. How could they "Harmony Beverly Harrison, you are getting married and that's final" dad said raising his voice at me. Mom tried to calm him down "How could you let him do this to me mom?" I couldn't hold my tears anymore. I didn't want to get married, at least not now "Sweetie listen, before you were born, your dad and his best friend Desmond made a pact to become families one day and that time has come for you and his son" "But I can't mom, I didn't even know uncle Desmond has a son. I want to fall in love, I want what you guys have. Please mom, dad" I was still crying when dad took my hands and said "Harms... You know how much I love you and would never do anything to hurt you. As for love, you'll definitely fall in love in due time. Trust me my dear" he said reassuring "Please do this for us, you won't regret it I promise." It's the first time dad has plead with me to do something for him. I wiped my tears "Okay dad, I'll marry him" how hard can it be i thoughtAfter my parents left I couldn't help but think how my life was going to be. I have always wanted to fall in love with someone who would always be there for me, who would love me for my imperfections, someone who never stop putting a smile on my face. I wonder if I would ever have that with this Adrain Stone. What if he doesn't like me. What if he acts like his name 'a stone'. I have always read stories about arranged marriages where the guy is always rude to the girls but they later fall in love with each other and have a happy ever after. Am I going to have a happy ever after too? Am not the kind of girl that would sit down and let a guy bully her before falling in love. What if he's a wife beater?, I'll have to attend some karate classes to defend myself. Ugh!! Am already getting insane and am not even married yet. I should call Meg. I decided to call Meg. She left so early last night. I hope she's fine "Hey B" she sounded sad which is unlike her. She's usually happy "What's wrong? You left so early last night. I was worried about you" I said genuinely concerned for my bffae (best friend forever and ever) "Ken broke up with me" she started crying over the phone. Here I was thinking about my problems while my bestie was heartbroken. "I'm coming. You're at home right" I said walking over to my closet to grab a hoodie. "Yes". I hung up. I just wore my hoodie over my SpongeBob SquarePants pyjamas and went out. What I don't really care how I dress besides Meg needs me right now. I drove to the supermarket with everyone staring at me like have gone nuts. I got a bowl of banana flavored ice cream which was mine and Meg's favorite. I entered my car and was heading to Meg's place but I made a U-turn, heading straight to someone that needs a piece of my mind.ADRAIN'S POV:After what my parents told me, I barely called or even answer their messages. I was pissed as hell but, I can't loose my company because of a girl. I wasn't planning on falling in love and getting married anyway so, this will probably be a solution to both my parents and I.I came to see an old acquaintance of mine. We've been doing business before and I was planning on buying a new house so I went to his office. We were both discussing on houses and location when his office door burst open. An angry mad woman barged into his office wearing pyjamas and a hoodie?HARMONY'S POV:I decided to give that stupid Ken a piece of my mind. He and Meg met at a club 6months ago. I never liked him because he was always too full of himself. I only tolerated him because of Meg but now, I'm going to put him in his rightful place. How dare he hurt my best friend.I arrived in front of his company and quickly dashed into the building. I knew that his secretary won't let me in so I ran pas
ADRAIN'S POV: It was Sunday morning, I went to the office to try and get my present predicament out of my mind. I really don't want to get married. How could my parents do such a thing to me after all I have been through. I was busy typing furiously on my computer when dad called my cell phone. I was really exhausted due to lack of sleep. After friday's dinner, I barely went to my penthouse. I was just working, trying to get my mind off things. My phone rang again. For fuck sake, what does he want now? For me to give up my life? "Hello" I answered trying my best to let him know I wasn't interested in anything he wanted to say. Knowing my dad, he's as stubborn as I am "We'll be having dinner with the Harrison's tonight. Be here on time" he hung up the phone. He was angry at me but, so was I. I don't want any of this. I continued with my work when my door burst open. Nicole Kirby walked in looking so sexy as always in her short mini dress. Nicole and I were fuck buddi
ADRAIN'S POV: I arrived a few minutes late which I did on purpose. I really didn't want to be here. Anyway, here goes nothing. I rang the doorbell and was ushered in by a maid who showed me to the dinning room. I went into the dinning room and was captivated by the most beautiful sight I have ever seen. Eyes dark as ebony, skin as dark as chocolate, beautiful lips which graced the features of her small diamond shaped face. She was enchanting...... bullshit!!!Those things only happen in shitty movies. The guy falls in love with the girl at first meeting. She was ok yes, but, not to the point I'll lose my senses and start reciting poems plus, she's not my type. I apologized for being late then took a seat opposite hers.HARMONY'S POV:Megan had told me he was hot but, I never expected this. He looked like a super model, no a freaking Greek god with his grey eyes, straight nose, small heart shaped lips which looked so succulent. He was very tall compared to my 5 ft 4 height. He was als
HARMONY'S POV:First day of work was quite wonderful. I made friends with some of the staff. Like Jenny for example, she's the receptionist and she's very nice. Jenny told me the boss travelled for a few days and would be coming back today with the bosses boss. I wonder what that meant. Anyway, after settling in my office, sorting out the mails and schedule for the arrival of the boss. It was finally lunch time. I went to cafeteria to get food when I bumped into someone."I... I'm sorry" I said trying pick up the files that scattered all over without looking at the person I bumped into"CAN'T YOU WATCH WHERE THE FUCK YOU'RE HEADED?" Who the hell is he screaming at me. I stood up to yell back at him but instantly felt paralyzed. I could tell he was taken aback as well"Y.. you?" He just grabbed my hand and dragged me into a big office. Oh Lord, please don't let the boss come anytime soon."What the fuck are you doing here" he shouted."How is that any of your concern you jerk." No one
HARMONY'S POV:I stormed off angrily last night. I was so devastated. I couldn't control my tears I mean, we are not in love or anything but I can't help but wish that I'll have a happy marriage. A man who loves me irrespective of my flaws and imperfections. What have I done to deserve such an alliance. I cried myself to bed wishing all this could go away, and I'll wake up from this nightmare but sadly, this was my reality.I woke up early feeling blue with my eyes all sore. I stared at my reflection and I looked like I wrestled with a tiger. I was brushing my teeth when my doorbell rang. Who could that be so early in the morning. I went to open the door but tripped on the empty bag of chips Laying on the floor. I'll have to clean up when I get back from work. I quickly rushed to open the door but, I saw Adrain at my doorstep. Am I still dreaming.The way his eyes travelled along my body made a shiver run down my spine. No, this can't be a dream. It looked like he was about to leave b
HARMONY'S POV:It was finally Friday. The week has been so stressful with planning, dress fittings, the invites, and so on and so forth. Meanwhile, Adrain and I have barely spoken a word to each other. Is either he avoids me or just make whatever he has to say snappy unlike our usual fights. Anyway it's for the best though, I don't have any strength for him now.Today is my bachelorette party. Meg and Ariana decided to have a small house party in my home, at my insistance because, they wanted to go clubbing. So we'll be having a girls sleepover. I decided to get the house ready for tonight. It was 5pm already, the girls should be arriving soon. "Where's the bride to be?" Ariana yelled from the sitting room "Hey girls"they all came to hug me. It was four of us plus aunt Taylor's niece Lily who will be one of my bridesmaids tomorrow. "Let's get this party started" Meg, the party organizer who has taken it upon herself that we'll do everything on her to do list. We danced,
HARMONY'S POV:I am officially married now. After the reception, Adrain and I went to our new house which was apparently a wedding gift from his parents and mine. I cried a lot when saying goodbye to my parents and Meg. "Promise me you will call everyday" she sobbed in my arms. "I promise. Stop acting like I'm gonna die, you can come visit anytime and I'll visit as well" we were both a crying mess.The car ride was awkward. Adrain barely spoke a word ever since he said I do. I couldn't help but think about when the priest said 'you may kiss your bride' . I was so nervous but smart Adrain kissed my cheek. His lips were the softest thing I have ever felt. But, deep inside I felt disappointed that he didn't kiss my lips. Well I guess I'll probably die a virgin then We got to the house more like a mansion. Gosh are we expected to live here alone?. Adrain was about walking inside when I shouted "Wait!!" I gestured with my hands for him to stop. He turned around and glared at me
HARMONY'S POV: Since Adrain was back, I decided to go eat breakfast with him. I finally concluded that if, we can't get close then, it's best we fight all the time. I don't know what is holding him from being with me and accepting our marriage but, I don't want to always be awkward around him.I went inside and saw him at the dinning table eating pancakes. I sat opposite him and asked Gwen to get me mine. We were both chewing without saying a word when the doorbell rang. I wonder who it was. Gwen opened the door and a very slutty like lady came in. She was wearing a low cut neck line dress which extended to her belly button. The dress ended below her bum in such a way that if she bends over, her boobs will fall out and her booty will be on display.She walked over to us swaying her hips excessively. She had the longest legs I had ever seen. Who is she and who is she looking for. My questions were answered when she walked past me and went to kiss Adrain directly on his lips. Oh I gues
