My Billionaire Husband ✔

Chapter five

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 thought

After 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.
