Oh my goodness.
I blinked my eyes blinked a few times to adjust to the light in my surroundings before finally opening them and wow! I have no idea where the hell I was with this annoying sun ray poking its way through the large windows right to my eyes. I try to sit up but felt a sore sensation between my legs, a slight pain shot through me stopping my movements immediately, and that was when I noticed a huge body right next to me. What the hell happened last night? I carefully moved to the side of the king-sized bed and sat up.Looking around the unfamiliar room, memories of last nightās incident came rushing to my brain in flashes. My eyes widened , how drunk did I get? Embarrassment swept over me immediately. I got out of bed carefully not to wake him, I donāt think I can stand any more embarrassment if he woke up to see me, damn itād be so awkward. I tiptoe around the room gathering up my things and dressing up only to find my panties shredded, gosh how drunk was I, and what the hell happened to me? I stuffed the torn panties in my purse before walking to the door. This handsome stranger stirred a bit as I held the doorknob, oh no! I froze at that spot sending silent prayers to the heavens not to make him wake right now and thankfully he didnāt. He only turned muttering some slurred words before going all quiet again.I dashed out of the building praying no one sees me as I make my walk of shame. I took in the house and I must say Iām wowed at the size and beauty of the house, he must really be a billionaire. But that wasnāt important, making it out of this house is what is important right now.āGood morning madamāI made it through the stairs and was about to open the door when a voice startled the shit out of me. I subconsciously dropped my purse from shock but quickly masked it with a smile.āGood morning maāamā I greeted turning to face her, it was a beautiful woman in a nannyās uniform, she looks pretty much older but why was she smiling at me with such a weird look on her face? Oh, probably the handsome stranger has a daily habit of bringing women around like this so she knew why I was there. Oh God, I wished nothing more than the ground to swallow me up right now.Remembering the man could wake up at any moment I decided to excuse myself from this weird-looking woman and make it out, I bent down to pick up my purse but the sight I met gave a really shocking sight yet again. That explains this womanās weird look all along, my torn panties sprung on the floor near my purse. It must have fallen off when I dropped my purse. I quickly picked it up, opened the door, and ran out awkwardly.I got to the gates and thankfully the security opened without questions or speculations. Glad that I finally made it out of the most embarrassing moment of my life successfully, I looked around. The sun is back and I donāt reek of alcohol or weird sex smell so I guessed thatās a good thing at least. I walked to the nearest street traffic light by the end of the street and my eyes widened. Not believing that I was so far from both my home and the club I picked up my phone to check out g****e maps and stare at my location and the little pointer that says āhomeā. Itās 129 miles away from my current location.Oh my god, I canāt believe I came as far as from Brooklyn to Scranton With a stranger. Just how drunk did I get? I saw a few texts from Josie and immediately dialed her number. She picked at the first ringāHey girl, Iāve been tryna reach, do you plan on giving me a heart attack or something?ā She said on the phoneāRelax Josie Iām at Scranton right nowāāWhat? What are you doing there? Is everything okay?ā She askedāIām okay, remember the guy at the party?ā I asked knowing full well that Josie Mohana would of course remember the guy we sighted from the corner of the club and she didnāt disappointāSure, the smoking hot assā she squealedāYeah yeah, Iām standing at the end of his street right now with no panties,ā I said dejectedlyāOh, girl! You really went all the way, didnāt you? You could have told me before leaving with him so I donāt have to worry about your safetyā she said happilyāYeah true, sorry about that. I was a little out last nightā I apologized, I couldnāt even remember how and when I left the clubhouse last nightā come on girl, details!!ā The squeal in her voice makes me want to laugh hard.āCalm down Josie, I need to figure out a way to get home firstāāOrder a ride and get home safe. I will be at your house before the engagement to get the details from you bitchā She finished and dropped the call.Oh right! Thereās an engagement.I ordered a ride and had to stand by the roadside to wait for it to arrive.I got home and met my Dad pacing about in the sitting room.āWhere have you been you brat?ā He yelled the moment he saw meāI was out Dad,ā I said nonchalantly ignoring the obvious anger on his face.āSince last night? Where were..ā he started but I didnāt want him to finish. I have a pounding headache and I feel like shitāDad Iām an adult and I can take full responsibility for myselfā I cut him offāResponsibility huh? Youāre getting engaged today but youāve been out at God knows where fooling around, is that what you call being responsible?ā He yelled angrilyMy anger was rising by the minute, how dare he lecture me about being responsible? He is the one they traded his only child for his gambling debts. But I canāt keep standing here arguing with him over that so I chose to ignore him instead and stomp over the stairs to my room.I went straight to the bathroom and ran myself a warm shower and took some aspirin right after. My stomach roared out in hunger reminding me that I hadnāt eaten since yesterdayās afternoon. I went down to the kitchen and made myself a cup of coffee and toast completely ignoring my dad.āThe engagement starts at 7 pm. Make sure youāre dressed and down here before thenā he called to me halfway on the stairs. I only glance at him above my shoulders before going towards my room. I am only doing this to save my momās company.I laid on my bed thinking about the entire event from yesterday night till right now. I signed at how my life had turned from a young best-graduating student with a happy relationship to this pathetic loose woman that had a one-night stand with a stranger right on the day of her engagement to yet another stranger. Wow! My life is just so pathetic.But how could Henry do that to me, I have loved and trusted that bastard. My mind trailed to the handsome stranger that gave me the best sex Iāve ever had in my life. Although Iāve only Slept with Henry but I never knew there was more to sex, I had a real orgasm multiple times that I lost count, the ache between my legs reminding me of all that. Whoever this guy is, he has spoiled me for other men, just thinking about it made my pussy wet.The effect of the aspirin kicked off and I drifted to sleep.****~Ivan ~For an unknown reason, I felt disappointed the moment I found out that the beautiful woman I brought home last night had left. I had never brought any of my sex escapades home but something about this woman made me not just ask her home but also drive like crazy to my mansion.The weird look Maria gave me the moment I walked down the stairs for breakfast this morning made it obvious she saw her leave. Who is this woman? For a person that has been with different women, I must say sex with this stranger was the best I had in a long time. For the very first time in years, I felt the need to pleasure a woman and not just hit the pussy till I cum, it came as a shock to me how much turned on and satisfied I was from pleasuring a woman again. Itās obvious that she was inexperienced with sex but she was a sex goddess that could make one cum with only a kiss.The ringing of my phone interrupted my thoughts. I stared at the screen watching it ring., MUMā it read.Sheās been ringing my phone nonstop since this morning. Yeah, Iām getting engaged today, and that too to a total stranger I havenāt met before.The phone began to ring again, I sighed and picked it up tĆ³ answered.āWhat is wrong with you Davis?ā Came my momās angry high pitched voice, I cringed and almost blocked my ears.āIāve been sleeping Mom,ā I said through gritted teethāYour engagement is today, donāt you dareā¦,ā she snarled angrilyāI wonāt Mom. I agreed to this so Iāll definitely show upā I cut her off.āBe here before 7 pm got itā she commandedāYes Mom, just let me be for now please ,ā I said angrily and disconnected the call.My hangover was terrible enough, I donāt need her screaming through my ears right now.The only reason I agreed to get married in the first place was for my brother and the same reason, I canāt back out.āMariaā I called out to my nanny since I was a childā Iām here!ā She said coming towards me from the kitchen.āPlease help me clear the room opposite mine upstairsāāAlright, are we expecting someone?ā She askedāYes, Iām getting engaged today and getting married soon,ā I said without taking my eyes off the television screen. I heard a stiffened laugh from Maria, I raised my eyebrows at her waiting for an explanation.āWhen did you start joking around Davis?ā she asked obviously amused. Ohh thatās whatās funny, I canāt blame her because I would definitely find it funny if it isnāt my life right now.āEver since my mom choose to make my life the joke itselfā I answered her.Her face became serious the moment she understood that I wasnāt joking.āYouāre serious?ā She asked but a weird smile replaced the surprise on her face. The same smile she had this morning.āIs it the beautiful lady from this morning?ā She asked with a raised eyebrow.Oh, thatās the reason for her weird smile.āGet the room ready Maria,ā I said as I stood and headed to my room, I need to sleep before the engagement party begins.Staying downstairs will give Maria a chance to keep bombarding me with questions and teasing me.Maria has been my nanny since I was a child, she stands as a mother figure for me throughout my childhood because my mom was always too busy to be there so when I moved out she insisted on coming with me instead of going back to her country.I laid o my bed to get some sleep to calm my hangover but when was I ever allowed peace?I hissed before picking up my secretaryās call.āWhat is it, Jenna?ā I groanedāGood afternoon Mr Davis. You have a meeting with the Larson group today sirāOh shit! I completely forgot about that.āI will be on my way Jena,ā I saidāMrs. Howard asked to cancel the rest of your appointment today.ā She informed waiting for a dispute from meāOkay. Thanks, Jemaā I said and disconnected the call.HiāWhoosh! Babe, I canāt believe youāre getting married alreadyā Josie exclaimed āItās engagement Josieā I corrected her for the up tent time since we started dressing for this crazy party.āAye aye, captain. But an engagement is an announcement of marriageā she said ā Josie, why do I feel like youāre excited about this?ā I asked raising my eyebrows at her āOf course I am, you are getting married, Iāve always dreamt of being your bridesmaid and walking with you in your wedding dressā she cheered with a wide smile leaving my jaws dropped āJosie, did you forget that all of this is just an arrangement for me to pay for my fatherās reckless ways?ā I asked the happy cheery in front of meāOf course not, Anna, but look at this the brighter way, your husband-to-be might turn out to be a really handsome dude,ā she said dreamily making me laughāWhich handsome dude will want a bought wife? Heās probably some huggo at 40ā I said dismissively ā oh no! I donāt wanna imagine that for youā We bo
āyou?ā I yelled out in alter shocked the moment I saw the face of my soon-to-be husband. āDo you two know each other?ā His mother asked in surprise.Everyone at the table kept on looking between him and I expectantly waiting for an answer.How do I explain to all of them that the man I would be getting married to soon is the same guy I hooked up with yesterday night because I was upset about this same marriage and the betrayal of my boyfriend? However, lying about not knowing wouldnāt get me off the hook with the way both of us reacted.āAnnabella?ā His mother called āYes maāam, we do know each otherā I blurted out āPlease forgive her for any mistakes she might have made Mr. Howardā my dad pleaded with the young man āDad!āI yelled, how can he jump to such conclusions? He didnāt even know how we knew each other and heās apologizing for my mistake. How desperate is this man exactly?āI met her yesterday nightā¦ā My heart dropped a second, donāt tell me this man here is about to tell
9AnnaThe grand ballroom buzzed with celebration, but my heart echoed a different tune. Feeling stifled, I slipped away, finding refuge by a moonlit fountain. Tears flowed freely, a silent release for the turmoil within."I can't handle this," I murmured into the night, my voice strained with emotion. "Marriage now? I can't. There's so much still to achieve the company. I had hopes, you know? Hopes they'd get it, that they'd wait until at least a while before the wedding."I heard footsteps come from behind me, I quickly wiped my tears away. Josie appeared, She settled beside me."Hey Anna, you don't look so good" she said. I was trying so hard to hold my tears. "I don't feel good Jo. Like not at all. I feelā¦ ugh I don't even know the word""Annabel, it's fine," Josie reassured softly. "You don't have to go through with it if it's not what you want. Your dreams matter."Yet, my heart still throbbed. "Josie, he thinks I'm... he sees me as a whore. How can I marry someone who thinks
Anna"Ugh, he is insufferable and annoying. I hope he gets hit by a bus," I muttered to myself, still seething from the fountain encounter with Davis. In front of the bathroom mirror, I angrily dried myself off and patted my wet hair, annoyance etched across my face. There was no way I could bear the rest of the night in this state. I needed to go home.As I decided to leave the bathroom, I accidentally bumped into someone. Strong hands caught me before I could stumble, and a voice with a touch of humor said, "Well, hello."I pushed back, offering an apologetic smile. "Sorry. Clumsy me."The stranger in front of me had an easygoing demeanor, with dark, wavy hair and a charming smile that hinted at mischief. "No harm done. I'm Alex.""Annabella," I replied, introducing myself. "But my friends call me Anna or Bell."As we exchanged named, a voice from behind me cut through the moment. "Oh, so you're friends now. I guess we aren't, since I shall call you your full name, Annabel."I tur
11AnneWedding preparations were chaotic, anticipation filling the air. Mrs. Howard, set on orchestrating the perfect event, immersed herself in selecting the ideal location. Everyone seemed swept up in ensuring every detail was flawlessly arranged, except me.As the day approached, I found myself entangled in a web of decisionsādecisions made for me. Bridesmaids' dresses, floral arrangements, ceremony detailsāall unfolded without my input. The illusion of choice made me feel like a mere pawn in a grand production.Now, at the wedding dress fitting, I stood before the mirror, twirling hesitantly. "Do we really have to go through with this?" I questioned, uncertainty lacing my words.Josie, my ever-supportive friend, adjusted a strand of my hair and sighed. "Anna, it's your wedding day. We have to do this."I frowned, the weight of the situation pressing down on me. "But do we have to do it this way? Everything feels so... forced."Josie gave me a sympathetic look. "I know it's not th
12DavisAnnabel let out a huge scream, "What? Why do I have to stay on the couch?"I calmly unfastened my wristwatch, placing it on the sleek coffee table. "Because it's my home, and I make the decisions."As I prepared to head into my room, Annabel intercepted, her tone challenging, "Do you have another room or not?"I paused, meeting her gaze. "Well, I do, but it's occupied. Tomorrow it will get cleared out, and I guess you can stay there."" Ugh fine, I will stay on the couch. How annoying" she said taking off earrings and dropping it on the table beside the chair. "And another thing," Annabel quipped, "I need to bathe."I raised an eyebrow, feigning surprise. "Three bathrooms, pick one. Just stay away from my master's bedroom."Her eyes narrowed playfully, a mischievous glint in them. "Even when we... you know, you didn't take me there either.."I chuckled, unable to resist the opportunity to banter. "Wow, I must be so good in bed that you can't get that day off your mind, Mrs.
AnneMy face still burned from the unexpected encounter with Davis earlier. Images of the not-so-subtle display of his anatomy replayed in my mind. It was hard to shake off the memory ā quite literally. I mean it was so hard. Why was I even thinking about that? I scolded myself, attempting to divert my attention. I needed to focus on class. Economics is undoubtedly better thanā¦ well, you know.It was a meeting of the top five student. A project in economics. I needed to handle. After this i know I would not be coming back to this school again. I immersed myself in the lecture, desperately trying to bury any distracting thoughts beneath the weight of economic theories and graphs. The complexities of supply and demand were far more important than any personal distractions, or so I tried to convince myself.But still I can't help but reason that thick hardā¦ oh God. Just as I began to regain some semblance of focus, my teacher disrupted the lecture with a question that snapped me bac
DavisYet, as I observed her, an unexpected surge of protectiveness welled up inside me.However, why? She could handle her battles.I shook my head, attempting to remove the lingering sentiments. Ours was a marriage on paper, a deal sealed for appearances and family expectations.Yet, as Anna confronted the harsh realities of her world, I found myself entangled in emotions I hadn't thought I would be capable of.The air in the room grew heavier as I grappled with reconciling my logical detachment with this newfound concern for her wellbeing.She was my wife term that carried more weight than I initially acknowledged. Was it the responsibility that came with the title, or was there something else, something beneath the surface, that bound me to her?I couldn't pinpoint the source of this unexpected connection, but as she spoke about the challenges she faced, a subtle empathy emerged."I can't argue with the fact that it's a marriage of convenience," I shrugged, my tone carrying a hint
