Chapter 4.

Jack's POV

I picked up my pen to draft out a few things that the marriage contract would contain.

They include not interfering in each other’s personal life and also the “No sex rule,” and many other essential things.

“Are you done now?” Clinton asked.

“Yeah, make sure you get it ready before tomorrow. The wedding will be held tomorrow.”

“Tomorrow?!” Clinton exclaimed.

“Yeah, tomorrow.” I replied.

I noticed that Clinton didn’t like the idea at all but I don’t care what he thinks as long as he keeps the process of my marriage a secret.

We arrived at the place where Eve lives. The house was quite an old one. The ceilings and surroundings looked quite old.

I stepped down from the car. Clinton led me into the house. Clinton had the gifts we bought for them in his hands.

Clinton knocked on the door for a few seconds. An elderly man who happened to be Eve’s father opened the door.

“Who are you?” Mr. Jameson asked.

"Uhm, this is Jason. The CEO of JASON TECH. We’re here to let you know about the wedding between Jason and Eve.” Clinton explained.

“Wedding between Jason and my daughter? My daughter never introduced anyone as a husband to us. She has never told us about her relationship with any man.” Mr. Jameson gazed at me.

“I think you should let her know that we’re here.” Clinton suggested.

Mr. Jameson nodded his head. He entered the house to let Mrs. Jameson know about our visit.

He came back to us a few minutes later.

“Come in, Come in, you said you are the CEO of JASON TECH right? You’re welcome to my home. Come in please.” Mr. Jameson beckoned on us delightfully.

As I walked into the house. I realised that the interior was worse than I expected. The ceiling of the house looked like it was about to fall. That was when I understood why Eve is obsessed with my money.

Mr and Mrs Jameson welcomed us into their home.

"You are the CEO of JASON TECH? How did you meet my daughter anyway?”

Clinton stared at me. I can’t let them know that we just met each other recently. I know her parents won’t approve of such marriage.

“We have been dating for two months now.” Eve broke the silence as she walked in.

I turned to her with a huge gaze on my face. I never knew she could lie this way.

“Two months? Why didn’t you tell us about him? I mean Coleman's family is a really powerful one and you didn’t let us know about him?” Mrs Jameson turned to address Eve.

“I’m truly sorry about that.” Eve apologised.

Clinton cleared his throat.

"I guess we shouldn’t worry about that. These are some gifts we got for you both.” Clinton smiled as he handed the packages to them.

They were very surprised to receive so many packages.

“Oh my goodness, Eve, he is the right one for you.” Mr. Jameson smiled at Eve.

“Yeah, I agree with your father. None of your ex-boyfriend’s have given us gifts like this.” Mrs. Jameson chuckled.

Eve stared at them dejectedly. She certainly didn’t like the way her parents were reacting.

She heaved a deep sigh and bent her head in shame. She looked embarrassed at the attitude of her parents.

"Well, the wedding will take place tomorrow in the court.” I declared.

“Tomorrow?” They exclaimed in unison including Eve.

I nodded my head.

“This is some sum of money you could use to take care of yourselves before then.” Clinton smiled as he dropped a check of two million dollars on the table.

"Oh my goodness!” They both exclaimed.

Eve didn’t feel happy with her parent’s reaction. I stared at for a while trying not to pity her.

"Don’t worry, we’ll be present in the court tomorrow as witnesses.” Mr Jameson said and Mrs Jameson smiled.

I checked my wrist-watch, I need to be at work immediately.

“I guess we should be leaving now. See you in court tomorrow.” I said as I stood up.

"Okay, we’ll be present. Eve, won’t you see your fiance off?” Mrs. Jameson asked.

Eve wasn’t a bit happy but I don’t care about how she feels.

Eve walked behind me slowly.

We never said a word to each other. I entered the car without staring at her.

I didn’t care about how she felt. It’s just for two months, after I find someone I truly love, she will find her way out of my life.

I forgot to get her a wedding gown for our marriage in court but I think all those don't matter. We’re finally married now, that’s all that matters.

Eve's POV

I knew for sure that Jason would make such a thing as “The no sex rule.”

I tossed around the bed, unable to sleep.

“So, this is what a wedding night looks like?” I sighed.

I’ve read a lot of books and novels about how sweet a wedding night is but I guess everything about me is different.

Maybe good things select people. I can never imagine that this is what my wedding night would look like. But, I guess all that doesn’t matter.

Our marriage is based on a contract, it isn't even a real marriage. At least my parents are happy. So, I’m happy too.

“Eve!!” I heard Jason scream my name from his room.

“Is everything okay?” I wondered.

I walked into his room but I couldn’t find him.

"You keep screaming my name but I can’t find you.” I sighed.

“I’m in the bathroom.”

“Bathroom? What does that have to do with me?” I frowned.

"The water suddenly went off. I need your help.” Jason replied.

“My help? You’re naked in the bathroom, you don’t expect me to walk into the bathroom when you’re in there.” I sighed.

"Eve, get some water from the refrigerator for me. I can’t even see properly.” Jason ordered.

“He can’t even plead.” I thought as I folded my arms, walking into the living room.

I got the bottle of water as he ordered.

"I’m here. It is on your doorstep. I’m leaving.” I turned.

"Eve, you need to help me out! I told you that I can’t see! The bathtub is too soapy!” He yelled.

I picked up the water bottles. I entered the bathroom covering my eyes. I didn’t want to meet him half naked in the bathroom.

I opened the water bottles for him.

"I’m done!” I huffed trying to leave.

I didn’t know there were some soapy waters on the floor which made the floor slippery.

"Watch out!” Jason screamed.

“Ahh!!” I screamed as I almost fell.

Jason held my hands dragging me closer to his chest. I fell into the bathtub with him.
