A Scandalous Marriage Deal With Mr Manchester 034: APHRODISIAC
034:~~Rain~~My voice is surprisingly calm. Considering the fury clawing at my insides, this seems like a miracle. I’ve always wondered why men lose their minds over women. Until now. Selene laughs. It’s very different from the laugh she’d given that man. It’s snarky, laced with sarcasm. “Your wife? Did you suddenly remember that you have one?” She takes a step closer. “You must take me for a fool, one who’d let you string her along while maintaining your relationship with Ava on the side.” This is about Ava? “I told you I ended things with her.” “That’s clearly a lie, Rain. We had an agreement. I was never against you being with her, but don’t expect me to sit like an obedient wife and wait for you to come to me only when you want to.” My eyes squeeze shut. I exhale… “I didn’t have the chance to explain it to you earlier, but Ava came for business, not–” “I don’t care.” “Selene.”“I refuse to fall for one more lie.”I stop talking. We can discuss this when she's sober enough t
A Scandalous Marriage Deal With Mr Manchester 033: JEALOUSY
~~Rain~~Selene never returned.It’s been hours, and I spent the day regretting letting her walk out of that ward like that. My eyes drifts to the door at intervals, as if she’d walk in soon. But when evening came without her, I knew I had to give her an apology..She has every right to be angry. I know I wouldn't be able to sleep peacefully tonight if we don’t resolve our issues, so I arranged for an early discharge so I could return home.“Your brother threw a tantrum in the office when he heard that you’d be handling the merger,” Tony's voice cut into my thoughts. He had dropped by after work to help with my discharge. He scrolls through his phone absently. “I wish you were there to see it.”I let out a distracted hum. David must be so mad to see that framing me for espionage didn’t work. Tony stands upright, looking at me. “You don’t need to come in for work till next week. I will have everything handled perfectly in your stead.”“Dealing with my wife’s nagging is enough. I don’t
A Scandalous Marriage Deal With Mr Manchester 032: NOAH RIVERS
~~Selene~~I was such a fool to fall for his lies. Somewhere between the possessiveness he showed and the way he kissed me last night, I started to believe we could make this arrangement work. I was very wrong.Since I was born, I have had to fight for a lot of things. Grandfather's care and attention, my spot in the Vaughn household, Vaughn Beauty. I will not add a man to that list.And that resolve is what made me find myself in the backseat of Kiara's car hours later, heading to the club she had chosen for the night. Rain is still in the hospital. I hope he remains there.“When you changed your mind about going to the club yesterday, I thought you had chosen to be the faithful wife?” Kiara taunts me. “Why do you want to go clubbing all of a sudden?”The fury I feel is nothing to write home about. My fingers tighten around my clutch. “Rain proposed changing the terms of our marriage contract.”“How?”“He’s against me having a romantic partner outside the marriage. He promised to end
A Scandalous Marriage Deal With Mr Manchester 031: BUSINESS PURPOSES
~~Rain~~The scent of antiseptic wakes me up. My eyes flutter open just as a slight migraine tears through my head. I groan, trying to sit upright, but a weight on my arm stops me. Selene is asleep, folded into a hospital chair awkwardly, her head resting on my arm. I look around me, see an IV connected to my wrist. My brows pull together. I’m in a hospital? The last thing I remember was going up to my room after stopping her from going out with her best friend. The early morning sunlight streaks into the ward. How long was I asleep for?Subconsciously, my gaze drops to Selene again, lingering longer than it should. It’s the first time I am able to look at her. Really look at her. She is… different. Her lashes flutter lightly as she mumbles something in her sleep. She stirs lightly, revealing crease marks on her cheek. She has the most perfect face structure I have ever seen, with well proportioned features. Her hair strays down her face. Without thinking, my fingers lift to brush
A Scandalous Marriage Deal With Mr Manchester 030: THE RIGHT CHOICE
~~Roman~~“It appears David has framed Rain for espionage,” Hargrove says in the car, seated beside Roman. They are on the way to the Manchester hospital after receiving a call about Rain's condition.“If you want me to, I will set things right.”Roman doesn’t reply immediately. He simply watches the city skyline, tapping his finger on his knee thoughtfully. Then…“No,” he says with a dismissive tone. It surprises him that David resorted to such a dirty trick. The kid has always been lazy to do anything, good or bad. But now that he’s showing his true colors, Roman intends to observe and see how far he’d go. “Let things play out. I want to see how Rain will vindicate himself.”Rain has always been smart. He’d know how to clear his name. If he can’t survive one scheme from his brother, then maybe Roman overestimated his abilities. The car pulls into the parking lot of the hospital. Roman leans back, his eyes on the building before them. “Why did the doctors say it was the reason for h
A Scandalous Marriage Deal With Mr Manchester 029: LONELY
~~Selene~~It’s been an hour. One hour since Rain collapsed and was rushed to the hospital. I am at my wits end waiting for an update from the medical team attending to him. Pamela paces the floor in front of me, her face twisted into a concerned frown.Footsteps echo down the hallway. A young man walks towards us, his tie hanging loosely from his neck, hair ruffled as if he spent the journey here taking his hands through it. “How is Mr Manchester?” He demands in a panicked tone. He stops in front of Pamela. “How is he?”“We don’t know yet?”“Who is he?” I ask. Pamela throws a glance my way.“Rain’s personal assistant. I called him here.”“Good evening, Mrs Manchester. I am Tony. I rushed over as soon as I received the call. What did the doctor say happened to him?”“They are still in the ward trying to stabilize him.” My voice trembles. If they are taking so long trying to examine Rain, then it means his condition must have been very bad. I had noticed that he looked pale at the bre
A Scandalous Marriage Deal With Mr Manchester 006: FIVE PERCENT SHARES
~~Selene~~“Five percent!” Vivienne exclaims. “That’s enough to get Selene a seat on the Manchester group’s board. It should belong to me, grandpa. Will you let her take it all for herself?"It’s the evening after the engagement. We’re all seated in the large living room of the Vaughn villa after re
A Scandalous Marriage Deal With Mr Manchester 005: THE HELIOS MERGER
~~Rain~~ Until an hour before the engagement, I had contemplated ending everything. I almost made the engagement called off, ready to face the consequences. But when I saw Selene Vaughn, I changed my mind without further ado.One would think that a woman who stays off social media like it’s a plag

~~Selene~~It’s been two days since the scandal happened. Two days since I signed away my future to marry a guy I have only seen in business magazines. Today is my engagement, an event organized by the two families to fool the press that Rain Manchester and I had planned to get married a long time
A Scandalous Marriage Deal With Mr Manchester 003: WET PUPPY
~~Selene~~Ethan hasn’t replied to my texts. It’s been hours, and he hasn’t even read them. This is a first. He always has his phone right by him just so he can hear from me all day. My knuckles clench around the steering wheel, maneuvering my car away from the Vaughn estate. Grandfather had locke
