A Marriage For Convenience

Chapter 7: Is This How It's Going To Be

From the get go, he believed that Meg was part of the conspiracy, his and her dad's plan to manipulate him, and get him to give up his position and allow for the merger that will merge his company, his dad's and Meg's dad and let them pull the strings. Lauro and Alberto were best friends and his dad has been helping Alberto with his company that's why it was flourishing as it did, Lauro at the helm, but Alberto making the decisions behind.

His dad was a ruthless businessman and he loved the power he held. He should know, he takes after him. He is old enough to retire, but would never do so, unless he's ready to go to his grave and his dad likes to be in control and he's not happy seeing Ty at the top of the businessmen's list, and him a measly 3rd, Hugh MacCalister was 2nd. So this manipulation was to get him to agree to a deal to let his dad lead his company. Something he will never allow him to do.

Why did he agree to this deal anyway? The answer was simple, because his mom asked him to. His mom was the only person he loved other than himself. The problem is that she is crazy in love with his dad and can never leave him, even with the string of women he paraded right to her face.

And when his mom asked him to do it, to marry Meg, he could not say no to her, especially with her not knowing that it was a deal in the making, so yes, he agreed to the marriage even if he didn't want to get married at all. He wasn't planning on letting this marriage change his routine. Meg was his trophy wife. He made himself believe that it was a good deal. Save him from finding a date during those functions he needed to attend and keep him from women who believed that they can be the next Mrs. Campbell as well.

In the meantime, in the gazebo, Meg stirred and reached for Ty and finding nothing but air, she opened her eyes and found herself all alone.

"Did I just dream it all?" she thought to herself.

But seeing herself naked and feeling aches in weird parts of her, she realizes its not a dream. She smiled to herself, realizing that Ty had covered her with the duvet and hoped against hope that indeed Ty was softening towards her. She reached for her clothes and put them on, intending to look for Ty. Thinking they could go back to the bedroom and do it again.

She found Nana instead. "Nana," she called. "Where is Ty?"

"He is in his office," she answered her. "He said he didn't want to be disturbed."

"Oh," Meg said. She thought that after their afternoon in the gazebo, that he would want to spend time with her, especially since they are still on their honeymoon.

"Oh, he also said that he will not join you for dinner," Nana told her. "And that you should eat already."

"Oh," Meg said again, confused as to what was happening. "I'm not hungry yet Nana. I'll just come down when I get hungry and prepare food myself." She said, lost in her thought, why is Ty locking himself up in his office study.

"Nonsense," Nana said. "Just give a holler and if not me, then someone will be there to serve you." she continued. "Master Ty doesn't like his visitors to not be served. That's what servants are there for."

"But Nana, I'm not a visitor, I'm the mistress of the house!" she exclaimed.

"Even more so," Nana countered. "You're the mistress of the house, all the more for you to get served then!" Nana told her matter of factly.

Seeing that she will not win the argument, Meg relented. "Okay, Nana, as you say. Since I also don't know where things are located. I guess its best to let the servants do their thing." she told her.

"Okay, I'm going to our room." She finally said and turned her heel to go up the stairs and Nana nodded and went back to the kitchen.

In their room, Meg found that her things were already arranged in their place. "Efficient housekeepers," she thought. There was a study table in the corner and she found her laptop there. She decided to write for a while and organize her thoughts, after a while.

She felt sleepy. She checked the clock and it was already 10 in the evening and decided to get some shut eye. She decided to prepare for the night, looking at the door. Wondering if Ty was still in his study and why he hasn't come up yet. She was eager for another round with him, woo him with her body, if that's what is needed.

She took a shower, made sure every knick and cranny of her body was squeaky clean, then she went to bed, hoping that Ty would come up soon.

She fell asleep soon enough and when she stirred at 2am, no Ty was on her bedside. The little hope Meg had for them was faltering, but she wants to hold on for as long as she can. Unwillingly, a few tears fell yet again, but she pushed to stop the tears from falling.

Morning came and still no Ty. Megan fought her tears yet again. She reasoned that Ty might have some important business to deal with that he fell asleep in his study, no need to overthink this, she thought. She readied herself for the day and went out. She tried to go to Ty's study but Nana was there.

"Ms. Megan!" She exclaimed. "Master Ty, said no one is to disturb him!" she admonished her.

"But what if something happened to him there?" she asked.

"No, nothing happened to him." Nana said. "He just rang for coffee and breakfast."

"Oh I see," Meg said. "So, I'm to eat alone again?"

"Yes, I guess." Nana answered her.

Meg threw her hands up in frustration and went to the dining room to eat. She thought, okay, if this is how it's going to be. If he thinks I'm going to starve myself because he doesn't want to eat with me, then he's got another thing coming. So eat she did.

After breakfast, she continued her exploration of her new home, no, her new residence. It wasn't her home yet, but she will soon make it her own. She smiled to herself and continued her exploration. She didn't see Ty the whole day, she ate her lunch and dinner alone. She prepared for bed, alone, yet again and went to bed.

In the middle of the night, Ty went to their room.

Even though he wanted to stay away from her, he can't. His body craved for hers and he was defenseless against his carnal desires for her. So he went up. Seeing Meg in his bed, wearing a mid-thigh satin chemise that had ridden up and he can see her underwear.

He felt his manhood stir. He went to bed and started kissing her neck and grasping her breasts. Megan awoke to his kissing and responded to him willingly. He had his way with her, satisfying her and himself. She was his willing victim, enjoying every deed. Ty was skillful lover, not only thinking of his pleasure but that of his partner as well.

Meg was so sure that he was softening towards her and that he will also fall for her in time. After they had finished. Ty got up, got dressed and left their room. Meg was too shocked to react when Ty left, or utter a single complaint. One minute he was there and the next he was gone. She didn't know how to respond to his seeming disregard of their relationship outside of bed.
