You could say our vows were bogus from the minute they passed our lips. 'Till death do us part meant nothing when divorce papers were already drawn up less than twenty-four hours after we sealed the deal. 

It doesn't matter that our marriage was an actual deal -- a marriage of convenience, if you asked Cade Napoli. 

Yep -- 𝘵𝘩𝘢𝘵 Cade Napoli. He was the eldest brother of four, where each and every one of them owned a chain corporation that was worth more than my life itself.  Cade wasn't anything but warm and welcome, wait no, scratch that, Cade was the complete opposite.

From the moment I spilled my guts -- 𝘭𝘪𝘵𝘦𝘳𝘢𝘭𝘭𝘺 on his limited-edition Brioni suit -- to him while I was illegally trespassing in one of his clubs, I proved to be at the peak of my unluckiness in life. When he proposed an idea of actually marrying, without said proposal, to help me get out of an even unluckier situation, I couldn't refuse.  

It didn't matter that we eventually formed a friendship, it didn't matter that there was twelve years between us -- all that mattered was I was a runaway bride that wasn't going to be caught. Certainly not by Cade Napoli.

Yet, life had been waiting to spring this surprise on her. She could have said no, but her parents' tears were all she considered before agreeing, despite her brain screaming a big no. James is anything but an ideal husband. He left the responsibility of finding a way to end the engagement before it even happened on her. But, despite every effort, she walks down the aisle.

They say desperate times call for desperate measures. They even say blood is thicker than water. Still, is it really worth it marrying this unknown man? Darson truly gets on my last nerves. He's not an easy person and I'm no sweet girl myself. We're going to be one happy couple. "Darson Meldeev, CEO of the Meldeev Corporation, 6"3 in height, 23 years old." He recites as if practiced a million times. I roll my eyes. "That's general knowledge." I point out. I had seen it all when I looked him up a few weeks ago. We are newlyweds for crying out loud. Is our marriage supposed to thrive on that bit of information? "Yeah well, it's all the knowledge you'll get." He responds and I glare at him. He is so rude to others. I smooth out my wedding dress, taking a deep breath. Just go with the flow Khara. Go with the flow. "Khara Bain-" I begin but he cuts me off. "You're a Meldeev now." His voice is stern. What is he getting out of this marriage? I know for a fact this isn't by choice on either of our parts. "Khara Mel...deev. Editor at Kerr magazine, 5"8 in height. 21 years old." The car then slows to a stop. I open the car door quickly to rush out. My knees are on the pavements. My dress is stuck between the car door. My bracelet is a few feet away from me. Oh what joy.

Zane Williams finds himself in an arranged marriage chosen by his overbearing mother. But when he ducks out of his own wedding due to an unexpected call of duty, he has no idea what he's in for when he returns home. Meet Mae Westbrook, now Mae Williams, who moves into Zane's house after the wedding. Here's the kicker: Zane mistakes her for the housekeeper his mom was planning to hire as Mae's assistant around the house. Terrified that Zane will despise her, Mae introduces herself as 'Kate,' the housekeeper. What follows is a comedy of errors that will leave you chuckling. As Zane unknowingly grows closer to 'Kate', he contemplates divorce - after all, he's never even met his wife! But things get even crazier when his ex-girlfriend, Ruth, enters the picture, determined to win Zane back. With Ruth scheming, Mae's fear of abandonment, and Zane's utter confusion, you won't believe the tangled web of love and misunderstandings that follows. And the real chaos begins when Xavier Williams, Zane's cousin, pays a visit. Secrets unravel, truths emerge, and you'll be laughing, gasping, and cheering for this mismatched couple (I hope). "I didn't know your eyes were green," Mae muttered. "I've always known yours are brown," he whispered, pulling her closer. "Before you were Kate or Mae, I know your eyes are brown." "Don't do this to me," Mae said softly, "I don't want to fall." Zane sat up and halted right as their lips brushed together, "I'll catch you if you fall."

It's been years since we last spoke- he drives me crazy, in ways no one else has. Being back home and reunited with old friends, was about to get messy. ~ "Morning sleeping beauty," He drawled, leaning against the counter mixing his protein shake vigorously. "Well then you must be the beast and not the prince." I retorted, rummaging through the pantry for some granola I could have with greek yoghurt. "Yeah," he shrugged. I put my bowl and ingredients on the table and frowned. Did... he... just agree with me? "In the gym, in the office... and definitely in bed," he winked. Oh. There it was. He's so full of himself. I rolled my eyes, proceeding to make myself breakfast. It's too early for this. ~ Follow along as two individuals encounter each other once again as adults, whilst their teenage histories shadow over them with every step.

***This is my original work, and if anyone decides to steal it and post it anywhere else without specific permission, I will not hesitate to take legal action against you!!!!*** A girl to take home to one's mother with no fear of sharp disapproval. Sure, she was plain and dull, but she was the sort one could settle down with in a few years after the sowing of the wild oats was completed. . .if one could get past how plain and ordinary she was that is. In truth, Lady Lavinia Antrucha was nothing compared to her sister, Cassandra. She had neither beauty nor social notoriety. . .but at least she didn't leave a trail of broken hearts behind her. She's the one people go to when they're in trouble and don't know what to do, the one who is supposed to be the stronger of the two Antrucha girls, the one her parents expect will stay with them for the rest of their lives, because what man would want to marry plain, little Lavinia? The most sought after bachelor in all of Scotland, the life of any given party, that's what they named Laird Ethan Brodi. He was the toast of high society and the man every mother yearned to see on their doorstep, asking to see their fine daughter. He knew there was something more to life than petty women who couldn't see past his fine physique, and he intended to find it; that is, until his father decided he had spent enough time unmarried and forged an alliance with the rich Antruchas by promising him in marriage to the eldest daughter who would certainly match Ethan in good looks and fine tastes. As far as Ethan was concerned, Lady Cassandra Antrucha could take a long walk off a short pier, but his father's word was law, and so to England he must go to meet his future bride. Can he go through with a marriage when his heart yearns for another? #Wattys2016

Twelve years ago, he drove away with my heart in his hands. I've moved on since then. Or so I thought. Growing up in a small town, there weren't too many options when it came to friends. But, even in a sea of a million, I'd always choose Jake Jameson. I felt safe with him. Safe with my secrets, my dreams and eventually - my heart. I thought we'd have forever together. That was a long time ago. I thought I'd forgotten those piercing blue eyes and the sound of his laugh. I tried to obliterate the memory of his touch from my mind. But, one single glance, as he stands at my door, twelve years later, and I'm suddenly transported back to a simpler time when love was easy, and my heart was whole. The problem? I'm marrying his best friend.

"But you're mine now. Only mine. You are MY wife. There's no way out of this. You belong to me". He hissed in my ear. I shiver as he looks at me with his cold stare. My heart was beating so fast.
