My Politically Arranged Marriage Chapter 38 : We Need to Talk
Cal's POVI checked inside my bag for the tenth time to make sure I had everything.Passport. Wallet. Keys. Phone.It really wasn't a long list of necessities, but my nervousness was making me overthink it all. Unlike when I abandoned Lena and flew home, I hadn't been able to find a flight back to London that was leaving anytime soon. So, I had to return to my apartment and wait it out until I would be able to leave.Talk about torture.I was sitting on my couch, packed and ready for the airport, but with no flight for hours. I was starting to debate if I should just head to the airport now so that way, I would be close by and able to jump at any time.Not to mention that if I was already at the airport, I could drink at the bar too without worrying how I would get there if I ended up drunker than a skunk. A beer sounded damn good, that was for sure.I somehow managed to fall asleep on the couch, but didn't sleep for as long as I had hoped. If it had been up to me
My Politically Arranged Marriage Chapter 39 : Interrupted Feelings
Lena's POVAs much as I just wanted to go curl back in my bed under the covers and hide away from the world, I knew that wasn't really an option.Not when people were telling me that I needed to go fix a relationship that possibly was unfixable.Either way, I made my way back up to my room and started to pack a small bag. It seemed obvious that I wasn't being given a choice in this matter and that no matter what I said, they would send me off to fix their mistakes.They weren't going to like my idea of fixing it, though.The more it settled in, the more another trip to the states didn’t sound all that bad. Especially if I did get to see Cal. It was embarrassing, but even with how hurt I was, I just wanted to be wrapped up in his arms.Warm and safe.Maybe one day, both of us would be again. My heart ached as I realized it probably wouldn't be together…Because I had come to realize something as those government officials had been talking to me. If Cal and I stay
My Politically Arranged Marriage Chapter 40 : Scolded Children
Lena's POVI must have looked horrible as the presidential bodyguard led me through the White House. The name was fitting. It was indeed a large white house. They had taken me straight to the airport after I had received the call and got me on the first flight available. An uneasy feeling had settled over me as someone had to accompany me the entire way.Was I in trouble?Every time I tried to ask, the person with me remained stoic. Maybe he didn't even know.I thought about breaking my silence with Cal, just to ask him if this was normal or what to expect. Or even to let him know that I was on my way back to him. But with Mr. Nosy I didn't want to risk it.I wasn't sure what the President wanted to speak to me about. Or if I was in trouble. So I didn't want to press my luck, or get Cal in trouble as well.So here I was, unshowered and unready, as I was stopped in front of a large door. The man moved forward and opened the door for me, but then stood back so I cou
My Politically Arranged Marriage Chapter 41 : Mixed Feelings
Lena's POVI stood there in shock, staring at the man that I had planned to win back…and he had just mentioned the D word."Divorce?" I managed to choke out.Just minutes ago, he had been defending me, and while he hadn't really looked at me, I thought it was going to be at least a little more normal. But no, instead his attitude had flipped.He didn't seem like he cared at all now.He stood in front of me, looking down with cold, distant eyes and what looked like the beginnings of a scowl on his face. Seriously. What on earth had I ever done to make the man dislike me so much?Maybe there wasn't any hope."Do you want a divorce?" Cal repeated his question, as if asking what I wanted for dinner.I glanced around me, uncomfortable with his question and the situation we were in. "Don't you think we should talk about this somewhere else?"That didn't seem to be the answer he was looking for, because his face flashed with some sort of emotion for a second before
My Politically Arranged Marriage Chapter 42 : Come to a Consensus
Cal's POVEverything felt right again.It didn't matter how wrong it was, or how much it might hurt me later, kissing Lena just felt right. Especially as her arms hooked around my neck and she kissed me back.Maybe we were volatile, but I could withstand any of the lows if it meant that I got to feel those highs. The euphoria was unlike anything I had ever felt in my life, even including the adrenaline junkie era I had a few years back.This was a whole new type of endorphins.And my body never wanted them to stop.Too bad Lena's body didn't seem to get the message.A sudden noise made Lena pull away from me, my eyes shooting open and searching for her as if I lost the sun. Her lips were off of mine, but she kept her arms around me and she was close enough that I could still feel the warmth of her breath."What just happened?" she practically whispered, her bright eyes burning into me.Man, I had missed those beautiful eyes.Damn. One kiss and I was alread
My Politically Arranged Marriage Chapter 43 : Illegal Detainment
Media/Samantha's POVSamantha's phone buzzed on her makeup desk and she grabbed it quickly before the artist had a chance to look at it. She resisted the urge to open it up right then and there and held it tightly in her lap until the artist finished the final touches for the on-air makeup and walked away.As she walked away, Samantha's patience cracked and she brought my phone to her face, glancing once more around her to make sure nobody was looking.The message box blinked at the top of the screen and she clicked it.Her eyes widened as she read the message in shock. This was nothing she would have guessed. Matt needed to know about this right away. He needed to fact check it."Matt!" Samantha called out as she saw him walking by the cameras behind her."What is it?" he asked, coming even closer when she gestured to him."I've heard from a reliable source that Eleanor is being forced to stay here in America, being held against her will," she said in a low voice.
My Politically Arranged Marriage Chapter 44 : Restricted Future
Lena's POVI flipped nervously through the news channels, hoping to see anything except my face, but was unsuccessful. Eventually, I gave up and just left it on the last news channel it landed on.This was not good, not good at all.Of course, it had been in my plan to go to the media and reveal the truth about Cal and I, hoping that their uproar would force everyone to allow Cal and I to do what we wanted, but I would have never revealed the private government details.Like being unable to leave the country.Cal and I had just been in the beginning process of making up when his phone had rang. He didn't want to answer it at first, but I insisted that he did.When was I going to learn?The person on the other end of the line had been his father, and he was furious. I tried to hear what he was saying, but all I could make out were yells. Sometimes, I wasn't sure how Cal dealt with that man.However, it was easy to figure out that the reason for his anger was beca
My Politically Arranged Marriage Chapter 45 : Sacrifices
Cal's POVThe host led me to the table in one of the private back rooms and I had to take a deep breath as I saw my father sitting there. This was the first time I was seeing him since our earlier meeting where he had scolded Lena and me like misbehaving children.Not to mention that the conversation we had before that consisted of him saying that he could ruin Lena's life. Even remembering that got my blood running cold."Cal, good, you're finally here," my father said, not able to miss a chance at even a small dig at me. "Let's get down to business."He said that as if he ever did it any other way. The man was always quick, blunt, and to the point.I sat down across from him without even bothering to walk over and shake his hand or give him a hug. This wasn't the time for formalities. In fact, it was just him and I."Then speak your piece," I said, relaxing into the chair as much as I could to make it seem as if I was comfortable.My father always had to be the l
