Contract

Mantis glanced at the ear thermometer "it's not too bad just a low fever. I'll give her some fever reducing medicine and she should be fine"

 But first 

He quickly turn around,sat down again and began to take Amery 's pulse.

 He was from a family of traditional Chinese medicine,so taking pulse and diagnosing illiness was a piece of cake for him 

 The man icy gaze fell on him." What!" 

In short time. Mantis replied " just thought maybe she was pregnant...or maybe this's her first time..." 

Whether or not. He wanted to know this beautiful lady relationship with his Boss 

 But the look he got suddenly shut him up instantly 

 After prescribing the medicines,he didn't waste another seconds before scurried away from the masters bedroom 

Unable to survive the gazes of his Boss.

After Mantis left, the new husband sat on the edge of the bed 

 He put an ice pack on Amery 's forehead, and the cool feeling relieved her discomfort , she murmured comfortably 

 The soft and gentle voice stirred something in him...

Covering her with the duvet

 With a glance at her. He finally exited the room 

***********************************

NEXT MORNING _

 Amery eyes fluttered open as the morning light filtered through the curtains, casting a soft glow across the room, with a languid stretch she peeled herself from the warmth of the bed, feeling the soft sheets clung to her skin 

 Her head was pounding 

Mumbling to herself, she sat up groggily 

 The silk quilt slid off her body, and suddenly she felt a chill on her shoulders 

 She instinctively looked down 

What she saw frightened her to the core 

She was only wearing a loose men's shirt with nothing inside!

Where the hell was she?

How did she get here? 

She shook her head vigorously, still remembering how she nearly got kidnapped made chill run down her spine 

 Clearing recalling the stranger who saved her last night...

 That stranger was her new husband 

Then what? 

Amery barely remember what happened next...

Could it be....? 

She was abused last night 

That explains his clothes 

At the thought of this possibility,her pretty face turned pale.

 The first thing that came to her mind was to call the police..

She quickly grab her handbag on the desk nearby 

 Searching through her stuff 

Where is her phone? 

O, dear 

Did she get married to a goon? 

It can't be...

He saved her 

The last she would surely come in conclusion with,was that stranger being a goon?

Her heart wavered as a sudden thought made her throat dry 

 What if she was taken hostage? 

Amery lowered her eyes to the bed. 

The large king-size bed with a gold headboard and gold frame was the most prettiest she had seen.... And the beautiful chandelier that was lit above her head made a gulp slide down her throat 

This place was too beautiful to be called a hostage 

 The fluffy cream foot rug placed under the bed that spread to cover a small space around the bed made Amery forget to close her mouth.

Was she in heaven or something...

This was beyond her imagination 

If this was a dream then she 'd probably wished she never woke up...

The black mix with gold massive room couldn't be compared to a luxurious hotel room 

Sure. She had seen wealth and tasted it. After all,all her vocation days were always spent in rich expensive hotels, but this luxury Infront of her was something she'd only watched on tv 

Amery closed her parted lips and started walking from section to section in admiration. She could only look and didn't touch anything 

This wasn't her room to begin with...

What if she actually break any expensive items 

Her eyes darted to the walk-in closet and she turned the door knob and.. voila 

 The closet was a sight to behold...

It was no different from a luxurious mall 

Everything a lady could ever want was inside, from clothes to shoes,bags to hats, sunglasses, wristwatches, cosmetics and rings which includes, earrings,nose rings,finger rings and so on 

 Her lips parted open wide 

"I must be dreaming" She blinked twicely only to meet the magical view before her 

She tilted her head to the other side. 

A wardrobe stood there . 

' Nope that's enough touching ' Amery murmured to herself 

She barely know where she was only the fact that the man she got married to kidnapped her here 

 Speaking of this stranger 

Where was he? 

And most importantly her phone !

Without wasting another minute. Amery switched the exit door open,her eyes searching around the quiet floor that was almost too quiet compared to the silence of a graveyard 

 A sigh escaped her nearly paled lips 

 She step out of the room,her eyes flirting around the place...

Honestly the interior were much more expensive than any designs she'd ever seen 

Everything screamed of super rich materials and the art work were all magnificent just lying on the walls 

 Though some of the paintings were at dark backgrounds 

Well that's a poor taste of art

But looking closer. It's actually pretty good...

.....

Amery soon came across a door that was made of huge and fine timber. 

Maybe he could be here...

She sucked in a deep breath before twitching the door knob...

It opens,her eyes twitched at the dark space that welcomed her 

Creepy!

Just as she thought of closing the door 

A voice suddenly rang inside " Come in..."

 "Aah! Aaarh! " She screamed out her lungs her hands holding on her chest, the other on the door knob , tightly.

 The light turned on 

She blinked staring at the familiar figure she saw

 Her new husband, who was standing behind her ,watched her cute reaction for a while before he bypassed her and stepped into the dimmed room 

Confusedly, Amery stepped into the room 

Her eyes first caught the bookshelves in the corner of the almost dark study room 

Does he have a thing with black...

Her gaze didn't passed the black interior 

 Black soft rug..., black mahogany desk 

And many more...

Still it was eye-catching 

Well, she might be the only person in the world seeing beauty from something that makes one's hair stand on end

 A place that gives the creeps...

 While Amery was busy accessing this place 

 The new husband dropped a document on the table " you should read it and sign it..." He said 

 Amery brows knitted slightly in puzzlement before she followed his jaw that was gesturing to the table. She looked to see a brown envelope 

 She opened it and pulled out the paper that has a ' contract ' written on it

Ooh right 

But why does it look like a Bible?

 She sighed inwardly like she wasn't expecting this whole thing to be in the next level 

 Then her brows furrowed suddenly realizing something. She lifted her gaze to her new husband 

 He was now sited in a chair facing the desk. His dark eyes following her movement, his long legs crossed elegantly and his slender finger tapped on the desk 

 "Can I at least get an explanation for why I'm wearing your shirt with nothing...." Her words trailed off before she continued " did you take advantage of me last night...? " 

Her fierce gaze eyeing the man 

' advantage ' The man knitted his brows 

A smirk on his lips as his eyes roamed his shirt on her 

 "Do you think your legs wouldn't be damaged,if I did...? " 

His gaze was instructive, making her wonder why she didn't change into something else before coming here 

 Moreover his words made her cheeks burn red 

Damn it. Why doesn't she remember what happened last night? 

Forget it! 

Flipping open the pages, Amery suddenly developed an headache, she rubbed her forehead in frustration 

Amery sighed again. All her contract infact anything that involved tiny long words were always handled by her assistant 

 She had always hate getting stuck with paperwork 

Amery barely glanced at the first line. She picked up the pen on the table and just when she was about to put down her signature on the space below 

 The man pulled the contract from her side

"Don't you think you should read this first... being...

He paused when she dragged the contract to her side and signed it before he got to finish his words. He slowly shook his head and stopped talking. 

She was definitely going to regret not reading it.

"Done. It didn't took me five minutes to sign this, just a second and there it is. By the way,why are there so many papers? This's literally more than 20 papers,it's way too much for a contract..." Amery stared at him perplexed...

The man lips curled slightly" you just missed your chances of finding out" 

Amery watched as he took the contract off the table 

 And suddenly she regret not reading through this 

 "Wait" She hesitated" we can get another copy... I mean you are not gonna trash this right... It's replaceable" 

The man looked at his wife speechless for a while"They are no second chances , you already signed " 

What 

Amery was left dumbstruck

"Am sorry Mr.....? 

"Maxson " He introduced, a cold smirk playing on his lips as he observed her ghostly expression 

Amery blinked back. 

' Maxson ' That 's this stranger name.

 For a moment, his name sank into her brains 

 "That cannot be possible,I didn't even read the information required before I signed it.. so we should just dispose this and get another copy"She spoke up in defence 

He chuckled darkly, his lips curling into a predatory smile "well in my world ...changes don't happen constantly... you lost your chances kitty..." 

 His voice was a rough whisper filled with desire that made her heart raced.
