Jefferson's POV
Mine and Celina's wedding was announced, and everyone in the company knew about it as they were all invited. They wanted to know who Mrs. Scott was and how she was. Is she pretty, smart? From which family did she come from? They were expecting my future wife to be the most elegant bride because I was the groom. The well-known most sought after bachelor and one of the wealthiest too.Thinking she was chosen by her dad, who was very strict and known to be very meticulous when it comes to work, they expected her to come from a prominent family. But I know where she came from and the word prominent was not in her family's vocabulary. Dad knew that I wouldn't agree to this, so he made a great bargain of using the company and gave me no choice but to marry and deal with this woman who thought highly of herself.It made me furious thinking dad had set aside everything I had done for the company for him to just freely give it away to Noris and that woman. Ever since I was a child, my mother has told me that I own a company and that it's mine. I had been told not to let his hands touch it, so I guarded the company well. Though I never heard my half brother claim the company or even ask for anything. Even his job now was something he earned with his own effort. He was a proud man, but I still think that he would agree instantly once he found out about the company. Until now, I wondered why dad wanted me or Noris to marry Celina.As for that woman, she said that she agreed to this so she would be able to leave her family. Although she was adopted, the reason behind her eagerness to leave her adoptive parents was still unknown and I am going to find out about it. It's either dad or her who will tell me. I don't care as long as I know what was going on.Dad knew that I was in a relationship with Wendy. Although we were not talking about marriage, I was actually thinking about it. I just don't have time to discuss it with her. She was my longest girlfriend and the only one who managed to understand if I couldn't see her. All my other girlfriends require me to see them every day and that suffocated me. I didn't like that kind of relationship. With Wendy, I still have my freedom to go and do what I want.I know dad loves mom so much. I witnessed how much he loved and took care of her, especially in her last days. I wanted to have a marriage like theirs, and dad, making me married to Celina like this would likely ruin that.My relationship with Wendy was near to perfection. We didn't argue because she was very understanding and never got mad at me, no matter what I did. Plus, the sex with her was good as well and she can satisfy my needs. Now that I am going to marry Celina, will I ever have the sex life I had when I was with Wendy? Isn't it awkward to do that with her when we barely know each other? Another question is, judging from Celina's character, will she agree to it?Celina didn't want to have a grand wedding but I insisted. I am Jefferson Scott and everything about me screams grand. Dad told me to be with Celina all the time as we processed our wedding. I assisted her and helped with all the preparations and even went to her to fit her wedding dress. Since I already agreed to it, I might as well give everything up at this wedding so Celina won't be able to say that I neglected her.The wedding day had come and was held at the Clandestine Hotel and restaurant. Dad's friend owns it. I'm sure that our wedding will be prioritized the whole day. I was waiting for Celina just like a groom waiting for his bride. I was getting impatient because I wanted this to end already and get over with it.Then, I saw her walking on the isle with my dad. I was stunned and I never thought that she was that beautiful. She always looked simple and didn't wear make-up at all. But seeing her now with a complete make-over, I am speechless. Everyone was looking at her and I saw the look on their faces. They admire her. I can't blame them though, I could even take my eyes off of her.We invited only the company employees and all directors, as well as some of dad's trusted friends. Noris was there as well and I don't understand why he had that look on his face. He was as though he was hurt. Why would he look like that? I noticed him looking at my bride and clearly saw affection in his eyes. Does he like Celina? Does he know her? Do they know each other?When dad handed Celina to me, my face hardened. She's more beautiful now that she was right in front of me. Suddenly, I wanted to take her out of the venue and take her to our room. The whole ceremony took a long time when all I was waiting for was the last six words that the officiating official would say.Our vows were made by Celina. She said I had to memorize it, so I did. I didn't want to, but she was very eager and thought it was for our wedding. I agreed. I don't know what power this woman has against me, that she can make me follow her."Celina, I am not a perfect man. I have flaws that you may have to deal with in the future. I cannot promise you heaven because I am not God. I cannot promise you paradise because I already feel like I am there with you. I cannot promise you happiness because I was happy when I was with you. I cannot promise you the world because you are the world to me.""Jefferson, I am a very difficult person. So I know I can deal with you in the future. I don't need to be in heaven if you aren't there. I wouldn't want to be in paradise if you weren't Adam. I don't want to be happy if it means your tears, and I don't need the world when you're not there."Everyone was touched, I know that. They knew that this was an arranged marriage and didn't expect anything like that. Maybe they were thinking that we were already in love with each other, so when I heard the "You may now kiss the bride". I made her face me. I had already told her that I was going to fake the kiss, so I had to do that. After all, we already agreed to it too. No matter how much I wanted to make it real and long, I had to keep my word. It's a good start to our marriage life, so I will have to do as agreed.Hello dear readers, thank you so much for your support.

Third Person's POV The wedding had ended, and everyone was satisfied, especially John. If Celina and Jefferson just acted, John would not have noticed anything either. He was busy with the guests when they were at the reception. He was occupied by nonstop greetings and best wishes for the newlyweds and an overwhelming number of gifts from everyone who had all left the ceremony happily, except Noris. In the mansion, the newlyweds were in their room trying to rest when one of the maids knocked on their door. Celina was looking at them when Jefferson opened the door for her. "Sir, Sir Noris is outside. He was drunk and was breaking everything. He was calling you out. " The maid informed him. He looked at Celina, who was waiting for him to say anything. "I'll be back; stay here." Jefferson told Celina, who just nodded. She was curious why Noris was making a scene. She knew him, and she was shocked earlier when she found out that they were brothers. Noris was her friend, and he had no
Jefferson's POV *** Flashback ***"Let's break up," I told Wendy as soon as she got in my car. Wendy just looked at me for a moment, shocked. "What? Babe, what are you talking about? This isn't a funny joke," she responded worriedly after taking in what I had just said. I'm not sure why; shouldn't she feel sad or wounded and not worried? What is she so concerned about?"You're just saying that. Fine, let's try f****** in your vehicle. I know you've been begging for this, so let's try. Just don't make jokes like that, huh?" she added, going to sit on my lap but I stopped her."I'm going to marry someone else that Dad had arranged for me," I informed her."What? He knew we were dating, why would he do that?" Wendy cried. "He never once talked to me and attempted to keep me away from you, why would he suddenly urge you to marry someone else?""I'm not sure either; he just informed me earlier, and I didn't want to upset you by continuing our relationship," I stated."No, I can never agre
Third Person's POV Jefferson rushed to the hospital thinking Wendy was in a critical condition. He started to blame himself for what she did and he thought he would not be able to forgive himself if something happened to her. He was on his way to the nurse's station when he looked around and saw Wendy's figure not too far from the staircase. He was thinking about what she was doing there when the nurse who called him told him that she had overdosed. He walked slowly because he noticed that she was talking on her phone as she walked down the stairs. "I called him and he answered, so there's no way that he and whoever that woman was, were busy on their honeymoon." She said, "I'm sure that this is going to work, it better be. I didn't want to lose him either. Can't you imagine, all the things that I got used to will be gone forever? No way, I ain't gonna let that happen, so I am going to try to separate those two and be with Jefferson when he needs a companion." She added, which mad
Celina's POV I wake up early, nothing unusual about that. When I looked at the other side of the bed, Jefferson was not there already, or to be accurate, he never came to sleep at all. I get up from the bed and went to the bathroom. I can say that his room was really beautiful and I like his bathroom because it was spacious. There were toiletries that I could use and if I didn't know that we are being forced into this marriage, I would think that Jefferson cared for me for exerting his effort in buying everything for me. The facial wash was all expensive. It was the one I usually saw on a glass cabinet that had a lock on it. Did he actually think that I use such expensive things to wash my face? Well I decided to just use it because it was mine after all. After I washed myself, I changed my clothes and went down to the kitchen. I was planning on making my own breakfast bottle maids already done for me. "Ma'am Celina, you can wait for your breakfast on the dining table." On of th
Jefferson's POV I know that Celina knew that I left because she was already at the dining table very early in the morning. I was sure that she thought that I went to see Wendy and I didn't deny that. Even if I was cruel to Wendy, it was because I found out that she was cheating on me from the very beginning. I know myself that I am not going to cheat on my wife even if I don't like her a bit. But after knowing the truth, I feel relieved that I don't need to feel guilty towards Wendy as well. The talk that I planned to have with Celina was very simple. I will just let her know that I am going to leave the country and that I am making her the officer in-charge when I'm away. I asked her to come to my study room and wait for me there after she ate because I know that I stink. She didn't noticed me get in so I watched her massage her temple. I got a little worried and asked her if she had headache and she replied "slightly." I don't know how that was but she insisted on talking even if
Third Person's POV After Jefferson left, Celina started to work on her design. The five designs she finished before meeting with Jefferson in Clandestine was her last project and she had not accepted any after that because she had been busy with their wedding preparation. Thinking about their wedding, Celina realized that Jefferson had been with her all the time. He accompanied her in choosing her gown and even when she talked to the wedding organizers. She didn't want to have a grand wedding but John wanted it so much so she let him do what he wanted. She never heard Jefferson complain about everything and she was happy about that. The only thing that angered her was when he left on the night of their wedding. She decided to stop thinking about it anymore and work on her new project. Jefferson on the other hand went back to his study room. He wanted to make a plan for Celina to follow as she managed the companies. He will be making a list of people she can ask for help as well
Celina's POV With everything that the board said about me, there's no way that I am going to stop myself to prove them wrong. I will make sure to slap my performance to their faces. Jefferson was a good teacher, he explained to me everything I needed to learn and I had a feeling that he was amazed at how much I learned fast too. We were in his office and was telling me about the people that I can consult in the company if there was something I was confused with when Noris knocked and got in. Noris is now the vice president of the company and we will be working together when Jefferson leaves the country. "Daria handed me this, she said to give this to you when I passed by her table." He said and handed a folder to Jefferson. He took it and had a look. "Hello Celina, how have you been?" Noris asked me and I smiled at him saying, "I'm fine." "Having trouble so far?" "No, not at all." I replied. "That's good," he replied and I knew that he was going to tell me more but Jefferson st
Warning!! Mature Content!! Jefferson's POV After I left my office I went to see my friends to say goodbye. We were having so much fun and they were worried about me being alone there. Well, they don't need to because I can take care of myself. They thought that I was not happy with my marriage, that's why I decided to leave instead. "You don't have to do that man. you can stay here and at the same time manage your business in Kenom. You are such a genius and it will be easy for you." Mark told me. He was right though. I can manage the resorts and casinos even if I was here. I don't really need to stay there but I decided to go because of some things that I wanted to think about. I told them about how much Noris likes Celina. "Are you serious? It was the reason that you shouldn't leave." Mark exclaimed. "Yes man, Mark has a point." Noli added. "I know, especially when I didn't know how Celina felt towards Noris." I told them. "How are they to each other? You said Noris was in the
