Stupid Prank

"Our marriage has been agreed between both families, I'll take full responsibility" Luca stated with a righteous look.

There was total silence as one eyes was boring hole and the other was blinking as if to wake up from the dream.

Alicia blinked once more, unfolding her arms "come again!" She demanded.

Luca stood upright once again and stepped closer to her and bent down to her eye level.

The strong scent of sandalwood mixed with a rose scent which likely came from her hair wafted into his nose. And he momentarily just stared at her up close, as they were now a few inches apart.

Alicia was caught off guard and almost wanted to move back but then she stilled with a determined gaze 'i dare you to come nearer was written all over face" Luca couldn't help chuckling at her bold and firm reaction

His laughter was short but worth gold because not many people have heard him laugh. To be precise he hadn't shown this much teeth ever since his parents died. Alicia blinked in surprise as she stared at him stupidly 'can you smile again!' was the sentence at the tip of her tongue she but it back and glared at him "what are you smiling for, and so openly at that. They have always said evil people have the most beautiful laughter" she blurted out uncontrollably

Luca smirked this time and straightened up a bit "so you think my laughter is beautiful?" He asked with twinkling eyes

Ever since he had known her, his boring live had some light weight which felt really refreshing and moreover he was curious about this lady and also wish to tame her wild side.

Alicia darted her eyes everywhere except his direction. "Yeah! Happy now" she shouted and gave him a defiant look trying hard not to blush.

Luca looked at her with intensified interest she wouldn't even shy away from embarrassment or saying how she feels.

"That's not the point right now though" I snapped at him with a glare as she remembered the issue on ground.

Luca shrugged his shoulder and stood straight with both hands in his pocket.

"There's no more point, we're a couple now" he stated in a firm tone

"Not on my count, I never agreed to any of these. It's my life and no one get to make the decision for me!" she cut him off and almost lost her cool when she saw his thoroughly relaxed as expression.

Luca knew she had a point but he just had to have her and he couldn't wait for her to fall for him before that because it might never happen "There's no point in saying all these now, go through the contract first before you come off so strongly"

Alicia glared at him once again before picking up the file she flung away.

It was actually very simple, the "spring ops" company wanted to dive into event planning and decided to partner with Alicia's aunt who was an expert at it.

Surprisingly before she could sign the contract she insisted on a marriage alliance to "preserve her wronged niece reputation" None of it actually made real sense but the way it was documented made it seem like a bid deal.

The more Alicia read, the more exasperated she became. She just couldn't believe her aunt sold her off for million dollars deal, and she couldn't even fight it because she couldn't really bring her aunt to court.

Taking in a deep breath "okay I can understand why my aunt did this but you? Why did you agree to it??"

She questioned with furrowed brows

Adjusting his cufflinks with his long slender fingers he replied in a careless manner

"Told you already, I'm a responsible man and also my grandmother want to see her great grandchildren." He pause in his sentence and returned his hands back into his pocket, he scanned her in the sitting position and his gaze lingered on her stomach "and who knows......you might be pregnant" he said curtly and returned his gaze to her face

Alicia widened her eyes "what....what do you mean?!" She started at him and her heartbeat fastened, she doesn't want to believe it but what he said might be true.

She knew he has been watching her but at least that didn't affect her so she didn't think much of it.

But apparently he just reminded her of something important, she didn't take any contraceptive since that day!!!!!!!
