Sentenced to Marriage Like a detective on the case
I had to admit that eating pizza with Aren in his super-fancy office was a peculiar experience. If anyone could ever look glamorous and captivating while shoving a pizza triangle in their mouth, it would be Aren. I had no idea how he pulled that off, but I should have expected that much. After all, his aura of dominance was as strong as ever, even when he was wearing a pair of jeans and a casual shirt instead of his elegant suit.He insisted that I go home, but I said that I wanted to stay in the company and go through the surveillance footage with him and Mr. Clark. I was swaying on my feet, but it was also the most exciting and challenging event I had ever been a part of. There was no way in hell that I would have missed it. Of course, I couldn't say it in front of Aren. I bet that he found nothing exciting about dealing with the huge number of problems that this hacker attack had caused...After I firmly stated that I wasn't going anywhere, Aren finally agreed for me to join the mo
Sentenced to Marriage First battle
I couldn't believe the luck I had! If Davies had used any other computer, no camera would have been able to catch him. Of course, Davies could deny that he had anything to do with the hacker's attack, but the facts spoke for themselves—he was the mole. I was certain that knowing which computer had gotten infected first, I could match the exact second the spyware had been downloaded, and I bet it would match the time mark on the video footage. I couldn't help but be crazily excited. For the first time in my life, I was using my skills and my intelligence for something that mattered. I loved that feeling of being useful...I strode through the Lan Diamond Corporation's entrance like a general going home after a victorious battle. I was armed with my laptop and tablet, and I wouldn't hesitate to use them against the one trying to steal from my contract fiancé. Neil greeted me as I passed the sliding glass door and stepped into the corridor. He led me to the back of the interrogation room
Sentenced to Marriage Changing
The date was set. In two days, I was about to meet Callan again. I wished I could have had more time to prepare for meeting him, but I was also aware that it was going to happen soon."I'll be by your side, and I will make sure nothing bad is going to happen," Aren assured.I smiled, trying to fake my composure, but the truth was, I was terrified. Perhaps I should feel more comfortable having to hold Aren's hand while facing my dreadful ex. Aren was definitely hotter and wealthier than Callan, and I was nearly certain that he was a better man in every aspect. Still, my anxieties were there, slowly consuming my rationality. Nonetheless, it was Monday, and I had other things to focus on. We had to set a trap for a hacker.Mr. Clark, Neil, Aren, and I sat together in the office and worked up a plan to provoke the one who invaded the system into another attack."We have to keep Davies in hiding for some time, whether he likes it or not. Officially, he will be on vacation while we prevent
Sentenced to Marriage Their first day
"Welcome to Lan Diamond Tower," I said, greeting Alan and Norton as they walked through the revolving door. Norton stepped in while tightly clutching his laptop in both hands, his eyes carefully roaming around the place. He was wearing a sage green suit; it looked surprisingly good on him. Unlike Norton's, Alan's strides were more confident, his expression slightly carefree, but even he decided to respect some of the dress-code aspects and added an elegant jacket over his smugly casual ripped jeans and T-shirt. I led them to our new workplace, which was directly one floor below Aren's office. I had no idea how they managed to prepare a place for us in one day, but my guess was that it had to be Neil's work. The place was filled with light, spacious, and furnished perfectly for three unconventional employees. There were desks with high-quality equipment on them and super-ergonomic office chairs to increase our work comfort, but there were also two soft couches and cocoon-like swing ch
Sentenced to Marriage Sleeping with him
"You are loud." I flinched at hearing Aren's hoarse mutter."H-how…?" It was the only part of the question I could mumble in panic.Aren lifted his upper body, supporting his weight with a bent elbow, his eyes narrowed from sleep. "How... what?""How did I end up here... like this?!" I looked at him wide-eyed, my heart pounding.Aren sighed, a faint smirk curving his lips. "You fell asleep."A wave of heat flooded me, a juicy blush surfacing on my cheeks. How could that happen? I wasn't drunk. I had barely drank two glasses of champagne. Fine, I was exhausted, but how could I fall asleep in the middle of… Oh, God…"And… why are you…?""Why am I here with you?" He finished my question. "I also need to sleep." He shrugged, glancing at me with increasing amusement."B-but..." I breathed, desperate to find a way out of this embarrassing situation.A huff of irritation escaped his throat. A second later, he hooked his arm around my waist and pulled me close. I barely registered how I found
Sentenced to Marriage Dinner
Fortunately, there was no one except for Neil when I left Aren's office. He greeted me with a mischievous smile that had painted his lips much too often recently. But since he was the one who brought me fresh clothes, I decided to ignore his teasing. As soon as I walked into my new workspace, the day passed in a flash. Alan, Norton, and I went from one department to another, installing our program using the excuse of checking some security issues. It was the amazingly boring part of the plan, but at least it went smoothly without people complaining that we interrupted their work. It was six o'clock before I knew it—time for me to get dressed up and put on some decent makeup, preparing myself for a dinner at the Wintons' mansion. More than an hour later, dressed in a wine-red long, slandering figure dress, I looked like a brave and confident woman. I wish I could feel like one as well. Unfortunately, my anxieties didn't go away despite Aren's reassuring words. Perhaps if it were only
Sentenced to Marriage Facing the enemy
Callan stood in front of me, his eyes looking at me with an odd sadness and pain. He had no jacket on. His shirt was half-unbuttoned, and its sleeves were rolled up. The sleekly combed hair he had before was now ruffled. As he stepped toward me, I could smell alcohol in his breath. "Why are you with him, Cora?" he asked softly. "W-what?" His painful tone caught me off-guard more than his words. "Is it because I have never told you that I'm a Winton?" He stepped closer, his eyes tightly locked on mine. "What are you talking about?!" I stepped back, desperately trying to keep my distance. He sighed heavily and sat on the bed. "It was my Grandfather's idea. He forced me to use my Mother's name, scared that I would somehow dishonor the Winton name by involving myself in scandals while away from home. Only the professors knew that my name wasn't Garrod." "Why are you telling me this? Why now?" I took another step back and found myself leaning against the wall. "I should have told you
Sentenced to Marriage My choice
As Aren carried me out of the mansion, Marcus was already waiting for us, standing by the car. I had no idea when Aren called for him to come. Augustus ran after us, asking Aren to remember some business issues they'd discussed before, suddenly exposing the fact that it was the only thing he had ever cared about. Aren ignored his desperate pleading. He just walked to the car and gently put me in the backseat while Marcus went inside to get our suitcases. A minute later, we were driving away from the mansion. I stayed silent until we left Greenwich, heading back to New York City. I wrapped myself in Aren's jacket, finding myself shivering from the cold, even though it was a warm night and Marcus turned on the car heater for me. As we hit the interstate highway, I finally found the strength to break the silence.I choked out, "I'm sorry."Aren frowned. "How can you be sorry for anything?""You lost your chance to get the evidence you wanted… It's because of me…" I said, lowering my head
