My Arranged Husband

Chapter 1: Prologue

Pearl's POV:

I am Pearl Bennett and at the age of 24. I graduated in fashion designing from NYU, that's last year. My mother expected me to join the family business, but I wanted to open a boutique on my own and my father supported me on this. With the status of my family, I really don't have to work but I wanted to make an identity of my own. My family was very supportive though.

When I told my family that I need inspiration for my designs, they helped me to travel various countries like France, Germany, China, India and many more. Because I can only know their culture by seeing them from near and thus making my designs extraordinary.

My walk in closet is full of various types of clothes, shoes, ornaments and countless other accessories. I have three cars for my own. To meet up to my every demand, my family made sure that efficient people worked for me.

I was named Pearl by my granny because in her prospect I am very precious. By the love my family showered me with, I always felt myself precious indeed. Just like my name.

My father is managing his family business and owns many malls, hotels and so on. My mother is from one of the richest families of America. My elder brother Christen is helping papa in business and my evil twin brother Armin is trying to start his own hotel business.

I think I was made by God on a Sunday, because in my 5 feet 6 glory I am drop dead gorgeous. The girls hate me and back-birch about me. As if I care! It is not my fault that I am perfect in all perspective. But they try to always please me and almost beg to be my friend cause that's where all the attentions are.

I was always treated like a princess as I am the only daughter of the family. I can have all of the luxuries I want and support from my family. But they want only one thing in return and that is to marry

Ryan Anderson who is the only son of Robin Anderson, one of the closest friends of my father.

Ryan Anderson has the looks of Hugo Boss's model and is the most eligible bachelor of America. He can be the hero of any CEO-employer love story as he is the CEO of his father's company. Only if he was having a relation with one of his employees! I know too cliche to handle, right?

He is now 26 years old and soon won't be a bachelor anymore, since we'll be married. I am actually happy that I will marry him. It is not like that Nathaniel Morrow will be interested in me anyways, so why not a Hugo Boss model!

Thinking who is Nathan, right? He is my neighbor and a long time crush. He is a doctor and in France for a seminar right now. I hoped all my life I will have a love life with the guy next door. But he doesn't even look at me while the other boys are dying to be my boyfriend.

I did my best to attract him without looking desperate but in no avail. If he had liked me back I would have pursued my family to let me marry him. But he didn't.

The only other boy who doesn't look at me is Ryan himself. He is always typing on his phone whenever he visits us along with his father. I know he is a businessman and he tends to be busy. But still I am a little bit curious what he does on that all the time.

I always wanted a fairytale where the princess marry the prince and lives happily ever after.

With him I can have my happily ever after, can't I? Belongs to NôvelDrama.Org - All rights reserved.

Ryan's POV:

Ryan Anderson. That's me. I was nominated as the most eligible bachelor last month by a famous magazine. I got my graduation degree in business administration from Columbia.

All girls want to be my wife even if it lasts one day. I have slept with many women until I met Natalie Hemming. She is my PA as well as my girlfriend. She is not like all the women who spends hours in order to keep themselves beautiful and slim. Instead, she is very simple and caring. After meeting her I don't even feel to go on a date with anyone. At first, she didn't trust me to be my girlfriend but I am an Anderson and Andersons get what they want. So, I made her believe in me and that I won't ever think about anyone in my life except her. She believed me but she always feels insecure. She has the right reasons for that because in every functions where media is involved I have to take Pearl with me. This hurts her and I can understand that. It breaks my heart to see her in pain. But I don't have any other option.

Pearl. This girl gets on my nerves. There is nothing special about her. She is like every other girls whose family has billions of money. She has a curvy figure and men on her feet. It irritates me cause she is always acting like she is very sweet. I mean who is she is kidding! Anyone with eyes can see that she is a bitch. But for some unknown reason, I can't deny the attraction I feel towards her even after so many years of being engaged to her which makes me guilty because I feel like I'm cheating on Natalie. Okay, don't give me that look. I know I'm actually cheating on Pearl but it's not like she is any better than me.

If you are thinking then why I'm engaged to her then let me tell you, it is because my father wants me to marry her because she is his closest friend's daughter and like a daughter to him. In the beginning, I didn't have any problem with that. In fact, I was really excited to have her as my fiancé. But as the time passed, I came to know the real her.

So now, if I could I would have broke the engagement with Pearl and proposed Natalie. But this will anger my father and I can't afford that.

May the god saves me from marrying her.
