The Fake Billionaire

Chapter 9: Destiny Yet to be Determined (Cont'd)

Linda is on her way? I wonder why she's coming here. She will always come with more rules. Maybe that's why I don't like her. She's too arrogant and I wonder if that's how Maya is.

I walked inside the bathroom for a quick shower.

I select blue bumbum shorts with a white blouse.

Everything looks good on me as if they were there for my sake.

I just wonder where Hattie is. Well, somewhere safe. I trust these rich children to have more than two million dollars on their credit cards. She could be in a hotel currently.

Their lifestyle is desirable except for the marriage issue. Most of these rich parents always see to it that their children marry someone as wealthy as they are.

Whereby to the children, it will just be like they are forcing them.

I wear a gold wristwatch and style my hair in a ponytail. I look so pretty this way. What am I even saying? I'm Maya and Maya is Beautiful.

The door opens and suddenly Linda walks in. Trust her not to have respect for anyone. Is she married? If yes, then I will love to meet her husband and talk sense into him.

"We are going out ," she sits on the bed and sips the wine in her hand.

We are going out? Gosh, I can't go in this type of attire.

I rush to the closet and select a blue short gown. I walk out and loot at Linda.

She looks back at me and nods briefly, it's looks like you are ready for me."

Yes! Fools! Let's get it done with.

I enter a designer slipper and watch Linda walkout. I follow her quickly.

We walk inside her car and I turn to look at her now, "Where are we going to?

"Boutiques," she says and drives out of the compound , "Your wedding is approaching and we discovered you don't even have a nice wedding outfit."

I turn away as a blush appears on my face. I can't believe I will be wearing a wedding outfit. Are these people planning to elaborating the party?

Well, they should.

Perhaps Maya will come quickly and I will be able to go home to spend my one million dollars. I can't wait.

We arrive at a Beau and Beauty Boutique. The number one Boutique around here. I've heard of it severally but I haven't been able to get close to it, talk less of buying something here. It seems like a place for the riches and the wealthy.

We walk down and Linda leads us in. I follow, while taking my steps as gently as I can, just as Linda has taught me.

People are around and so I wouldn't want them to know I'm, not the real Maya.

We walk inside and I'm surprised by the beauty of it.

The shelves are arranged with great mannerism.

The designs are something out of this world.

The coolness coming around is something I can pay to get.

Linda walks to a shelf and turns to her right where a staircase is. She took it up and I follow swiftly, amazed by how the building was built.

We arrived at the room for Wedding gowns.

There are no other dresses aside from the

wedding gowns. While walking to the third sheet on the third row, I realized there are suit mannequins around.

So, this place is mainly for male and female wears for wedding. People are walking around, some in wedding gowns and some obviously about to get one.

I can't believe I will finally be able to say I've been in Beau and Beauty.

"Here's!" Linda calls out and I rush out to her. She's hold a wedding gown close to her, "What do you think about this?"

I shiver as I stare at the gown. It's a sleeveless gown that will probably display my cleavage. I don't think I have the mind to wear something like that. I have never worn clothes like that.

Linda moves to a mannequin, What about this?"

I look at the dress, with a net trap to it's chest. So, unlike the first one, the net covered my cleavage but it's harmless.

"Let me try the on the mannequin. I've never had clothes like the one you are holding ," I tell her.

She misses, "This is what Maya would go for. And it's what you will go for!" She says dangerously and throws the clothes at me.

My heart skips a beat as I hold the dress in my hands. The material is out of the world. I have never touched something like it.

I know Linda won't let me wear what I chose. I just don't know why she asked me in the first place.

Like I've earlier, she's arrogant and I hate her. I wonder how she managed be Maya's friend. Unless well if Maya is also arrogant.

What am I even saying, rich people, are always arrogant? Maybe it's the criteria for getting rich, I don't know but that's what I've noticed.

I nod at Linda and clutch the clothes to myself.

She watched me for a moment, "I'm not asking you. I'm saying you should go and put it on.

How do we know it's the right one for you?" Her dangerous eyes flip all over me.

I nod briefly, "Where do I go get changed?"

"Take a turn when you get to the end of the female section, you will see the two doors.

I nod and hurry off. I just pray I don't see Linda again till this contract ends. I don't want to see her again. She makes my heartbeats faster.

I walk to the door but a Lady appears beside me suddenly, I'm sorry madam but this closet is occupied. Will you wait or will you use another space?.

Waiting won't be good. What if Linda gets mad at me.

I smile at the lady, "I will rather use another space."

Follow me then she says and start walking away.

I look back briefly before following her, the dress still clutched to my chest as if it's a shield. I can't help the shivers. Gosh, I'm so scared and anxious and worried.

We walk past the male mannequins before she stops before a door. She turns to look at me, a big smile on her face, "Here ma'am," she says.

"Wow, it's Maya," someone says behind me and I turn around to look at some ladies giggling to themselves before walking in. In the room is a big mirror. I stare at myself for a moment, I have these past few days. My skin is has gotten brighter and more smooth.

And I finally seem to like Maya. I slid out of my gown and wear the wedding dress. I find it strange that the dress fits me so well as if it was tailored for me. I look at myself in the mirror amazed at the person staring at me and wearing my ponytail.

"Maya is getting married to Ethan," someone says behind me. I look back briefly and realize they must be in the closet next to mine," She's lucky.

She's marrying Alessio billionaire. And the best. Others are scum."

A soft laugh, "No, he's lucky to have Maya. They both fit perfectly well," a soft voice corrected.

I sigh. If only they know this isn't Maya.

It feels weird taking up someone else.

I look at myself in the mirror again, especially at my breast. My seen cleavage bothers me and I try to pull the dress up.

Gosh! I don't believe this is happening to me. I know Linda wouldn't be bothered red here days into wearing half-naked attire.

I wonder what I will do if I'm asked on a beach before Maya comes back. That must never happen.

Maya will be back soon, she will come back the second day after the wedding.

I open the door and walk out. I look up and my eyes went forward at Petal and Ethan laughing at a corner.

My heart did a flip and I move back unconsciously. Ethan must never see me. He would recognize me. OMG!

I turn quickly but miss my steps. A cry of agony left my mouth as I anticipate colliding with the floor.

Strong arms held me quickly, turn me and pull me closer to a strong chest. My heartbeats increase as I stare up at Maya's ex-boyfriend.
