His Reluctant Bride Vincent's POV 1
As soon as the taxi departed with Aira inside, Vincent took his phone out and dialed a number. “Do you have any idea what time it fu**ing is” Came Carter’s answer after a few too many rings, He took the phone away from his ear and looked at the time, “It’s still too early for you to sleep. Why are you being grumpy,” Vincent said “Well, for your information, some people actually have a life other than working for you. As astounding as that may sound to you,” Carter responded and Vincent thought he heard him grunt as he moved. “You okay over there?” Vincent asked wondering what was up with his friend, “Actually, no. So get this over with so that I can hang up and take care of things,” Carter said sounding even grumpier, “Alright, sorry to interrupt,” Vincent said with a mock tone, “Good to see you finally decided to take care of that nonexistent… life of yours,” “Seriously, I’m hanging up.” Carter threatened and Vincent had no doubt that he was going to do it. So, he took a deep

Two Weeks Ago “What’s the meaning of this?” Vincent asked with a calm voice as he looked at the employees surrounding him in the conference room. They were all top-notch efficient employees who were the best in their fields. At least, that’s what they were supposed to be. Now they all seemed like cowering chickens as they looked at him with fear. “Why do I have an email here from ‘Moon’ politely refusing to take part in our project? Can someone explain this to me?” Vincent asked There was silence in the room except for the sound of persistent typing from beside him. Vincent turned toward Carter who was typing on his laptop as if he didn’t have a care in the world. Carter stopped typing when Vincent sent him a glare, adjusting his glasses like he wasn’t responsible for making his annoyance rise up a notch. “Sir, please don’t get too worked out, it’s bad for your blood pressure,” He whispered into his ears making Vincent want to punch his friend and personal assistant right in the

Vincent’s POV 2 “Carter, I never thought about it this way, but, you really are a control freak,” Vincent said, “No one would think that seeing your apartment,” “I’m not a control freak,” Came Carter’s voice through the car’s speakers, “I just want to make sure that there’s nothing wrong. It’s her first time organizing an event, and she didn’t even spend a week in the new post,” “She probably has more experience than you do in that area,” Vincent said, “Didn’t she say that her family runs an event planning business?” “But, still! This is an art exhibition. And the artist’s first at that. Just her agreeing to let us host it as a marketing plan is more than we could ever ask. If we ruin it, it’s going to be a huge problem,” “That’s why we let her best friend do the job. She’s the closest person to the artist and she could freely arrange things the right way,” Vincent added, “Besides, she should be running everything by you before making any decisions so where’s the problem?” Car

“You’re injured!” Vincent exclaimed seeing the blood running down her arm purposefully and soaking into her dress. She looked at the blood running down her arm and turned her eyes back at him calmly while giving him a reassuring smile. “It’s okay, just a scratch,” She answered, She was reassuring him instead of worrying about herself. Was she in shock because of the accident? No, she was having a normal conversation with him. That wasn’t it… “Of course, it’s not okay!” He said as he pulled his handkerchief out and tried to put pressure on the wound. But she flinched. She was really hurt and judging by how she wasn’t moving her arm, it must hurt a lot “Oh, sorry,” he said trying to be more gentle. “It’s okay, It’s just a little scratch,” She repeated with a smile as she looked at him. “Still, we need to stop the bleeding,” He answered intently putting pressure on her wound “ Hold this for a bit,” He reached for his necktie removing it and bandaging her arm with it, relieved to
His Reluctant Bride Vincent's POV 5
They say one doesn’t know about the matter of hearts until his heart experiences love. Vincent wasn’t a teenager, he’d had his fair share of relationships. But, the more he looked, the more difficult it was for him to understand his friend’s situation. As he sat in his office watching Carter through the glass as he stole glances at Meghan, he wondered why the hell his friend was so hesitant. She was there before him, so why wasn’t he reaching out for her? If the person he wanted was before him like that. He would grab them and make sure that no one would ever take them away from him. Looking at Meghan he thought about Aira again. It had been a week since she’d locked herself up in her apartment. Maybe finding her cheating fiance like that was a bit too much… But when he’d asked Carter, the man had laughed saying that he shouldn’t worry about that. It’s true that the scumbag was using her to get to her grandmother’s trust. But, maybe Aira loved him… The thought didn’t sit well

“Well, if there are two men more pathetic than the two of you, I would pay to see them,” Sia said as she came into the office where Carter and Vincent were busy reviewing the latest piece of paper that had been handed over to them by the ex CEO of this company. Vincent’s uncle. It seems like this particular piece of paper had been ‘Forgotten’ when the transfer was occurring five years ago… “That damned old man. I’m gonna kill him someday,” Vincent muttered under his breath. “Take a spot, I was there loooong before you,” Sia answered casually as she picked up the document and flipped through it, “Isn’t this your father’s will?” “Seems so,” Vincent answered, “Ugh, that sucks. When was your thirtieth birthday again?” “In three months,” Carter said helpfully, “You have three months to find a bride…” Sia said, “Hmm, interesting. Otherwise, you shares are going to go to your mother and brother,” “We all know that they will harass them until they sell their shares and they will have
His Reluctant Bride Resolution
Aira downed down the remainder of her cup motioning to the middle-aged barman for a refill as her eyes -Heavy lidded, scanned the colorful content of the glass bottles lined up before her. There was a slow hum around her that she hadn’t noticed before and the atmosphere around the hotel bar seemed to be nice enough. If only she hadn’t come there to drown her sorrows at the bottom of a bottle, she would have probably enjoyed the atmosphere. Aira’s memory went back to her father’s face when he had admitted that he had lost most of the family’s fortune. And she downed the next glass back in one go hoping that the kick of the alcohol would help her forget the unsettling memory. It did not… She’d never seen her father so defeated, so helpless and miserable. Aira looked down at the ring on her finger and sighed. This was her father’s last gift. Probably the last bit of his fortune, and he decided to give it to them as a sign of his undying love and support. She felt a glimmer of
His Reluctant Bride Drunk Kiss
“Why were you drinking alone tonight?” Vincent asked Aira leaned back on her seat closing her eyes and trying to fight against the fogginess that came with being drunk. This was bad, she really did drink too much. “I’m pretty sure you can guess why,” She answered not bothering to open her eyes. “I’m sorry you had to hear about it like that from me,” He said and Aira opened her eyes to look at him surprised at how sincere his voice sounded. He was looking at her with those steely green eyes his unwavering gaze seeming to gleam regardless of whether his face was cast in light or in shadows by the discontinued street lights. “Now you’re apologizing?” She said with a slight smirk which he returned. “I know I must have been a bit too blunt with you. But I have my reasons and you seemed like the perfect person to solve this dilemma. I didn’t want to let the chance that practically fell on my lap go.” Vincent said and in Aira stored his words knowing that her drunk mind wouldn’t
