Chapter 31

Miles sat on the edge of his bed as he scrolled through his phone, bored. There was nothing much to do, and since he had not taken over the company yet, he was just left here, doing nothing.

The thought of his bride crossed his mind, and overwhelmed by many thoughts. When will they get married after they meet? What kind of wedding were they going to have? Is it going to just be a contract thing?

He was yet to find answers to his questions when his phone beeped with a text on the screen.

'The location has been changed. Let's meet at the Dynamite clubhouse. Don't keep me waiting' Came another text from Jess, and he rolled his eyes. As much as he wanted to ignore her, he was bored and felt it would be a way to kill boredom, and a part of him was also curious to know why she wanted to see him.

He tossed his phone beside him on the bed, stood up, and changed his clothes before he left his room after he picked up his phone again.

Miles had thought he would find Ashley in the liv

    Chapter 32Miles looked around at the men who were getting ready to beat him to a pulp. They seemed to be waiting for an order from Leo before they would get to work."I told you that I was going to deal with you... Now, watch me do it," Leo's lips twitched into a smirk as he tucked his hands into his pants."Don't bother to call out for help because you won't find anyone... I am not someone that can be messed with, Miles," Jess smirked at him also, but he just stood staring at them like they were acting a drama. Who knows, maybe they were really into acting. It couldn't be him they were all there for."Get to work... Make sure you beat the hell out of him," Leo ordered the men, and just like sheep obeying their shepherd, they all charged at Miles. However, just a word from Miles made them stop."How much did he pay you?" He stood confidently in the same spot and never flinched even with the way they all looked dangerous.The men all looked at each other surprisingly. They had expecte

    Chapter 33"Wh...what are you doing?" Leo stepped back and stuttered fearfully as Miles stepped closer to him."Are you scared? Are you not man enough to fight me, hmm?" Miles's lips twitched into a smirk as he stared at Leo who looked like a scared cat."Wh...who said that I'm scared?" Leo scoffed defensively when he couldn't even throw punches at Miles. He was scared of being defeated.Miles turned to Jess, and she immediately stepped back fearfully and swallowed the lump that formed in her throat. Her heart pounded hard in her chest like it was going to explode soon. "Wh...why are you looking at me like that?" She stuttered fearfully as she took a few steps back, and Miles scoffed."Are you going to hit me? I'm a woman...""And what if I believe in gender equality?" Miles smirked as he took slow and steady steps toward Jess while she kept stepping back until her back was pressed hard against the rail."Do... don't touch me, Miles... I'm going to call the cops on you if you dare la

    Chapter 34Miles left his room as soon as he woke up and headed to check up on Ashley in her room. He knocked on her door a few times but didn't get any answer, so he presumed that she was not back yet. He went back into his room and picked up his phone from the bed where he left it earlier, scrolled through it, and dialed her number. The call rang for a few seconds before her tired voice sounded from the other end."Ashley? Are you ok? Where are you?" He asked worriedly and heard her sigh."I'm fine. I'm on my way home now. Will be there in a few minutes," The call disconnected almost immediately, and he brought down his phone from his ear. Miles stared at the screen of his phone with his eyebrows knitted, wondering where she went to what happened to her back there."She must be tired to make breakfast. I should help her," He muttered as he tossed his phone on the bed and left the room immediately.Miles was not that of a good cook as he never learned it and because he never had the

    Chapter 35Miles walked briskly into the school compound while holding his cross bag firmly. He was a few minutes late to class.He paused along the walkway as he spotted Ms. Kendra walking in the opposite direction. He would've avoided her, but then the class was important and of course, missing it was the last thing he wanted. "Good thing I saw you here... I was on my way to your class. See me in my office," She said to him and walked away without waiting for him to say anything.Miles briefly sighed as he watched her leave. What the fuck does she want from him? He wondered, but shrugged it off and proceeded to her office. He knocked on the door to her office when he arrived, and she ushered him in. Miles pushed the door open slightly and peeked in to find her seated behind her desk as usual. He briefly sighed and finally walked inside fully."You asked to see me, ma'am," He announced his presence, and she raised her gaze from the desktop she was focused on."Have a seat," She ge

    Chapter 36"That must be her," Miles muttered and walked over to where the lady was seated. "Excuse me... I'm sorry for keeping you waiting. I was stuck in a traffic jam," Miles apologized as she pulled out a chair and sat across from her. Miles couldn't help but admit that she was a beauty. An elegant lady with a beautiful oval-shaped face, long brown hair, charming blue big eyes, flawless skin, thick eyebrows, and finally a sexy body. She was everything his type."And you are?" The young lady who was in her late twenties however pulled a surprise expression as she stared back at Miles cluelessly while waiting for an explanation."Oh... My name is...""I don't care about your name. Do I know you from anywhere?" The lady raised an alarm as she slammed her hands on the table, demanding the attention of every other person in the restaurant, and of course, she got the attention she demanded. "Aren't you...""You pervert! How dare you dirty thing approach? You've got some guts," The lad

    Chapter 37"Let's cut to the chase," Sonia demanded as she sat elegantly."Pardon my manners. What would you like to have?" She asked him, and he shook his head."Don't worry, I'm fine,""Alright... So, I will go straight to the point..." Sonia paused and tucked her hair behind her ear."Our marriage is built solely on favor, so it won't contain any affection. My dad told me that we'll be married for one year, and after then, we can get a divorce..." Sonia paused and sighed."Nothing is going to change. We are only going to be husband and wife in paper, and not in reality. This is no-sex marriage, so don't expect something intimacy from me..." Sonia paused and leaned forward."One more thing... While we are together, you are free to be with other women or if you have someone you like, but don't make it public. I wouldn't want anyone seeing my husband frolicking around with another woman in public. It's going to affect my reputation, and I don't want unnecessary internet drama," Sonia

    Chapter 38"Who are you? I'm curious to know..." James demanded with desperation."Is that why you called me here?" Miles scoffed as he reclined on the chair and rolled his eyes."Not really... I'm just curious to know who you are. Mr. Mario had never helped anyone before... He has never treated me like this for any reason before, and to think that he is doing this because of you. Just who are you?" James asked again."I presumed you asked to see me because of what happened, right?" Miles leaned forward and asked, his lips laced with a smirk."Hmm... But...""I don't have much time to spare you, Mr. I have other important things to do. I will go straight to the point, so listen to me..." Miles paused and exhaled briefly. He had a lot to say to this bastard, but he didn't want him to suspect anything, so he could only hold back."You should reflect on your actions. Apologize to the people you have wronged, return the money you took from innocent people, and stop bullying people. Only t

    Chapter 39Miles walked over to her door, and just when he was about to knock on the door, he paused as he heard her voice from inside."I'm still trying, doctor... I'm trying to raise the money. Please don't let my mom die. She is the only one I have left," Miles's eyebrows knitted together, confused about what was happening. "What's wrong with her Mom?" He mumbled."I will raise the money. Just give me some more time, please," Her teary voice sounded from inside the room again.Miles reached for the doorknob of her door, but stopped and changed his mind."Maybe I should talk to her tomorrow," He concluded and walked away.Miles slumped on his bed tiredly as soon as he walked inside his room. Many thoughts ran through his mind, and he couldn't help but ask himself what was wrong with Ashley."I'll find out about it tomorrow," With that in mind, he stood up from the bed, stripped out of his dress, and walked inside his bathroom with only his shorts on.Miles stood under the shower, n

    Miles stepped out of the car that had just driven into the big compound of the mansion standing in front of him. The house was the most beautiful thing he had ever seen, and he was even awed by the number of cars parked in the garage. Even though he wanted to take his time to admire the place and check out what it looked like, he wasn't so settled to do that."This way, please," Bryant gestured toward the entrance door and started walking toward it immediately, so Ethan followed him, counting his steps nervously. His jaw dropped when he walked into the living room which looked like another planet on its own, but he was soon distracted by the number of men in black suits queued in the living room. Something he was just noticing."Welcome home, master," Again, they all stood up and bowed to him just like how those people did back at the prison."Wait here while I go call our boss," Bryant uttered and was about to walk away when a deep baritone voice sounded along the stairs."I've been

    Miles sat on the cold floor, gazing into space as he shivered from the cold piercing through his bones. His body felt stiffened, but he knew he had to hang in there. He needed to. He couldn't just give up at this point in his life.'You are not the father of my child' Those words have been living rent-free in his head for the past two days since he has been here, wishing that it was a dream. He wished someone would tap him to wake up and maybe tell him that it was all a nightmare. 'How did I get here? How did everything suddenly go wrong? Why did she do it?' he asked himself as he hugged his knees to his chest, but his only crime was being poor. His only crime was not being able to afford the luxurious life she wanted, but he did his best. Until two days ago, he had done everything in his power to give her all the happiness she wanted. He tried to provide for her with the little he had, and all he wanted was to have a happy life together as one big family with the kids they would hav

    Chapter 51"Why am I getting dressed?" Sonia paused and asked herself as she stared at her reflection in the mirror. It's not that she was going to see him for the first time. She didn't even get this excited the first time she was going to meet him, so what was this about?"Ugh! Forget it," She rolled her eyes and continued what she was doing, regardless.Sonia was soon getting dressed, so she left her room. She was impressed when she walked inside the living room and the sweet aroma coming from the kitchen welcomed her."I trust your cooking so well... The aroma is everything," She closed her eyes and breathed in after she walked inside the dining room where she met Amelie setting the table."Whatever! The food is all ready now," Amelie announced as if she didn't see that the table was already set."But wait... Why are you all dressed up, girl?" Amelie was forced to ask after she scanned her with her eyes."I just got married, so I should look good," Was the only excuse she gave Ame

    Chapter 50"Are you kidding me? You really got married to that dude?" Amelie, Sonia's best friend shrieked as she held the certificate in her hand with her eyes narrowed in shock."Are you out of your mind, Sonia? I mean, how can you get married to that dude? He looked like a student and he is not even...""Can you quit ranting, Amelie? You are going to make me sick if you keep being like this. Ugh! I feel like passing out," Sonia whined as she rubbed her fingers gently on her forehead while closing her eyes."It just doesn't make any sense to me, Sonia. You need to think about this again. You can't be married to that dude," Amelie insisted, and she sighed."What is there to think about again, Amelie? We are already married," Sonia just shrugged and rolled her eyes."It's not something to worry about, Amelie. I will handle things, ok? We are just married because of..." Sonia paused and briefly sighed. She didn't want to tell not even her best friend that her marriage was just an arrang

    Chapter 49Miles stepped out of the car that had just pulled over in front of the city hall. It was the day he was supposed to get married to Sonia and also inherit the fortune. All he needed was just to get the marriage certificate and sign the contract with Mr. Ace later in the day, and everything would finally become his.The sound of his ringing phone pulled his attention as he walked toward the entrance door, and when he saw that it was Sonia, he quickly swiped the answer button."Hey!""Hey, Miles... I'm sorry, something came up here and I'll be delayed a bit. Can you wait for me, please?" Her innocent voice sounded from the other end."Sure, I will," At that moment although Miles knew that this marriage was just an arranged one, still, he didn't want anything else more than to get married to Sonia. She was everything he ever wanted in a woman.The call ended and he sighed. Miles walked over to sit at the corner of the city hall, waiting for his soon-to-be wife while imagining wh

    Chapter 48Sonia glanced at Miles for the umpteenth time on their way home and she couldn't help but feel grateful for coming to her rescue. Maybe those bad guys would've harmed her if he had not shown up."Thank you," She muttered as she glanced at him, and he hummed as he nodded. Since she was still shocked by what happened earlier, Miles decided to drive her instead after he helped her fix the car.The ride to Sonia's apartment didn't take much time before they arrived, and Miles stepped out of the car after she did."You should sleep early. I'll be busy tomorrow so we might not get to see each other," Miles handed her the car keys, but she glanced at her wristwatch and turned her attention back to him."It's late. Why don't you sleep over? I have two rooms. You can make use of one of them...""Don't worry about...""Your house is still far from here and it's going to be difficult to get a cab at this time of the night. So, I insist," She insisted and he was eventually left with no

    Chapter 47"Thanks for earlier," Sonia muttered as she glanced over to Miles on their way home."Hmm," Miles just nodded and looked out through the window. He had a lot of things to ask her which were not limited to her family, but they were not legally married yet, so he didn't have any right to ask her. At least not just yet."Why don't we go to the city hall for the marriage certificate next tomorrow? I have time then and I think it'll be perfect," Sonia suggested, getting Miles's attention."Hmm... That's fine," He nodded and she forced a smile.Sonia pulled over in front of Miles's dorm minutes later, and he removed the seatbelt from his body."See you around," Miles was going to open the door when she spoke up."Why don't you come over to my house tomorrow? I think you should know my house since we'll be getting married soon," Sonia suggested and he thought about it for a few seconds before he nodded."That's fine,""I will send you my address," He nodded and finally stepped out

    Chapter 46"What are you talking about?" Mr. Frost hesitated for a few minutes before he finally asked.Over the years, Sonia had been pretending not to know everything that happened years ago. How her Dad had been spending the money that her Mom worked hard for.Mr. Frost was just a delivery guy who found favor in the eyes of the billionaire heiress, Claudia Ramos. They dated for a few months before they got married, and Frost automatically inherited her wealth because of the love Claudia had for him. A few years after the death of Sonia's Mom, her Mom's assistant had reached out to her from where he was hiding and told her about everything that happened but the death of her Mom remained mysterious. For years, she had been deprived of her mom's wealth, she was fine with it, but now she couldn't fold her arms and watch her Dad give it to his other daughter. That was the last thing she'd ever allow."We both know what I'm talking about, Dad... Do you think I will fold my arms and watc

    Chapter 45"Why don't you stop with the pretense, Dad? We both know that you don't care about me," Sonia scoffed as she stood up from the couch, and Miles did too. "You! How could you be rude to Dad in the presence of a stranger?" Harley stepped forward and snapped at Sonia."Dad...""Your sister is just under the weather. You shouldn't be like that to her," Mr. Frost, their Dad forced a smile."You called me here to attend Harley's birthday dinner party..." She huffed as she crossed her arms on her chest and rolled her eyes."What game are you trying to play this time, Dad?""Sonia... I only called you here so we can get to know your fiance. Besides, it's family time together, so I was thinking you shouldn't be left out. Don't you think?" Seeing the smile on the man's face made Sonia's skin crawl with disgust. She tried to fight back her tears even though it was difficult to. Her heart was breaking into a million shreds. It's fine that he didn't like her and not that he was complain
