All Chapters of A marriage for business: Chapter 1 - Chapter 10

*Dear diary,  As I came home today Duncan said he had some important matter to discuss with me. It's been an hour and I am sitting in my old room thinking about this "matter". I hope it's not anything bad.*  "Miss Tessa, master Edward wants to see you in his library" the housemaid announced.  "I'll be there in five minutes. "  "Okay miss"  This better is good. I had a nervous feeling and it had become more intense. The house was big enough or too small to labeled as a house. It was more like a mansion. I still remember when I first came to this house I was 12 at that time. My parents passed away in a car accident when I was only ten. I clearly remember how the officer had tried to explain that my parents had gone to a "happy place" while I was too dazed and confused to understand. Weeks later it struck me I have lost them not in some funfair but for real and forever.  Two years later I am

*Dear diary, Yesterday I made an important decision in my life. In the bid of helping Edward, I agreed to the arranged marriage. I don't know if I took the right decision or not or I did in hastiness it's done. There is no turning back now. All I know I won't regret it ever no matter how much trouble it may cause in the future (or may not). I am just repaying him. This could be right*  I checked the clock and it was 10:37 am. I must have been really tired yesterday. I went to the bathroom and freshened up. Dressed up in a black and white striped T-shirt and high waist skinny blue jeans. While putting on my flip flops I struck that I forgot to call Maria. I think I'll just mail her.  It took me fifteen minutes to summarize yesterday's events in the mail also stating my decision and the reason behind it. Hope she doesn't go crazy about this.  Satisfied I switched off my laptop and rushed downstairs. As I came down I was

In the morning I sneaked out of my room letting Maria sleep more. I reminded Brad to wake her up after an hour and drop her off. Loitering in the corridors of the house, I was lost in my own world. While random thoughts flooded in my head I entered one of the guest bedrooms which faced the main gate and sat on the marble-made window sill which felt cold through my pajamas. Not many moments later I dozed off.  A while later I was woken up by an engine roaring. I saw through the window Brad escorting Maria to the car. She seemed sober enough now. The car drove off after a while. All of a sudden stomach growled which reminded me I had nothing since the last evening. I got down from the window sill and walked my way out again through the corridor. Reaching the ground floor of the mansion I made my way towards the kitchen. I saw Selena instructing something to the housemaid. I went ahead and opened one of the upper lockers brought out one of the chocolate chip cookies boxes

The next day Maria and I were talking on the phone I told her everything about Dylan Gray and who he really was. But her overactive imagination and she kept on teasing me. Her hopes were very high and told me to consider myself lucky. Women die to spend a night with him and here I was 'so-called lucky' to be his wife. This was her view which was backed up by his lovers. Again that's what she thought. For me, it was a deal to be dealt with carefully. And as if he would have time for us I mean this. Seriously though it was still hard to imagine that how could he manage his business which was a kingdom and also his 'other' business.That's how the rest of the day just passed away in drawing conclusions about him. In the night I replied to my emails. I had secured a job interview which was scheduled soon after the wedding. I was happy about the job interview but I found myself more distracted about tomorrow. *Dear diary, I am going to get

2 and a half months...2 and half months were left before I could end this marriage. In the previous months, I didn't see much of him. Dylan had recently gone on a business trip. He had been gone for over a month now and hadn't still returned."Hey, Tiffany boss wanted that report on The Willow project. He wants to meet you." Sean said while peeking into my cubicle.   "Oh yes."  I got up from my seat with the file in my hand and approached the elevator. Pressing the button to the 20 floors I waited. In between people came in went and took me longer than 2 minutes to reach 20 floors. I walk towards the door imprinted with golden bold words Spencer Knight. I knocked at the door and a heavy voice ordered me to come in.  "I have got the Willow report."  Spencer stopped typing on his computer and glanced towards me. He was about Edward's age or maybe older than that. The corners of hi
