(Contract Marriage?)
Abby's POV
"Why did you kiss me?" I asked in a low and soft tone, for some reason I wanted to get a particular reply from him
"Come on, don't think about it, I just felt like it, not the other way round." He winked at me and I blushed from embarrassment
*Argh, of course Abby, what were you thinking?* The car pulled up in a town house building. He walked in and I followed suit, I gasped at how beautiful this place was. Suddenly I heard someone whistled, I looked up to see a tall hottie beside Damien, he was staring at me then winked while Damien threw him an angry glare. Seems like they were discussing something important. Wait, I've met that guy before, hmm, I shrugged.
"Hey there pretty, I'm Fred Blacks, I'm Damien's cousin, you look good." He stated and I smiled at him, Damien's cousin? Too bad this two men had to look this great. I smiled at him as I stretched my hand to him, he shook my hand and I smiled at him. Immediately, Damien pushed Fred away from me. He smirked at fred who frowned.
"Well... Might wanna see around before the main trick starts?" He asked arching his brow
"Yup, I'm so hungry.." I complained patting my stomach as his eyes balled
"Fuck, you didn't tell me you haven't eaten anything yet." He accused
"Oh come on, it's just food right?" I shrugged. We walked to a nearby restaurant. I continued glancing at him, he looks so handsome, putting on a thick glittering sleeveless shirt revealing his hard muscles, his hair so smooth and his lips red. I sighed, it's dangerous going close to this sort of people, it's just a torment, I feel sorry for his wife-to- be, being so super enchanting, also a workaholic at same time, such a pity. He'll hardly have time for her rendering the poor woman devastated, so unfair.
"A penny for your thought?" His deep baritone requested and I frowned
"Just the reason you brought me here." I lied
"Oh.." He recalled and a nervous expression crossed his face.
"Anything wrong? Sir?" I asked and he frowned
"What did you call me?" He asked and I frowned in confusion, did I said anything wrong?
"I'm sorry.." I apologized though I didn't said anything wrong, he sighed and walked into the restaurant abandoning me now. I sat opposite him, though he was on his glasses and a cap, some women recognized him, I felt like a little girl accompanied by her brother to a restaurant.
"Are you so uncomfortable sitting with me?" He asked watching as i twist and turn uncomfortably.
"Sir, can't you see that there are so many people watching you and pointing at me?" I stated, he turned around and then turned towards me with a bright smile, I bit my lips, the day should end fast, I want to leave this man immediately, he's making me feel things I don't want to feel right now.
"They think you're my girlfriend." He admitted making me frown at him. Soon the waiter arrived and I ordered some swiss deserts and brown coffee, I can feel his gaze on me and it's affecting me like crazy. Soon I started eating while he was busy with his phone.
"I'm done." I announced as he directed his attention to me and we walked back to the town house. I really can't guess the reason he brought me here, we entered the building and he took me to a beautiful room with high class. Wow, this place is gaily and shouting luxury, everything here seems expensive than I can actually tell.
"Good morning sir," a tall young man in his late 20s said, he don't look bad though.
"Morning, all set?" Damien asked in a deep voice as the young man nodded, we took our seats, why are there only men here and no woman, I frowned. The bodyguards look mean, his cousin looks dangerous like him and this young man here looks like a serious business person.
"Why are there no woman here?" I whispered to him and he grinned
"You want me to bring women here?" He asked and I shook my head. The young man presented some files to Damien, he went through it and pushed it to me.
I went through it as my eyes widened in shock, the headings wrote Contact Marriage wait is he getting married? To who?
"Are you getting married sir?" I asked and he chuckled, I twitched my lips to a side, that's what I do when I felt ridiculous, Fred also chortled. Hmm.. What are they hiding?
"Read on," Damien said to me, I frowned at him and turned the next page, My head almost exploded, What The Fuck!
"What! What in the world is this?" I half yelled at him, yet his expression remained calm
"Well, you're owing me you know, or should I tell the lawyer about it?" He threw me a scornful smirk
"No one said anything about marriage here." I argued and he smiled
"Well, I said and you will compensate me for that night right?" He pursued the issue making me red from embarrassment, I can't accept this and I won't accept it.
"Sorry sir, but I can't marry you, I just can't, you should find someone else." I stated and stood up to leave but he held my hand
"Please?" He pleaded. Everyone gasped with surprised expressions on their faces, he threw them a warning glare and turned to me with a soft expression on his face, that made me felt respected and important.
"It's just a contract of a year, after a year you can leave." He expressed still holding my hand
"B..But why me? Please I just came out of a rough relationship and I still can't get over the pain, I can't.. You should find someone else." I pleaded
"You're the one in want, believe me, you won't have any pain this time." He said more like commanding. Fred cleared his throat as Damien smirked, what is going on?
"Look, this is crazy, i.I can't...I can't marry you." I said in a soft tone.
