The Marriage Proposal
1000 Words
He kissed her shortly for two seconds before he was pushed away. She immediately spat out, cleaning her mouth.
The moment was captured on the camera as the light flashed on them.
"What the heck are you doing?" She asked, getting annoyed.
"Will you follow me inside or do you want me to kiss you again?" He questioned.
She dropped the plaque she was initially holding and stepped forward.
Together, they both entered the company.
"Miss Laura, we will be awaiting the conclusion, okay?" One of the reporters screamed after her.
Her morale had dropped drastically from the moment she got kissed.
Sluggishly, she followed him until they both reached his office.
Almost immediately the door was closed, Liam grabbed her by the neck, unleashing his anger on her, and pinned her against the wall.
"What have you done? Do you even realize the damage you have caused? All because of your stupid protest, my company's shares have dropped, and some contracts have been canceled. Tell me, how do you wish to rectify these mistakes, hun?" He yelled, trying too much to control himself from strangling her to death.
Before he could finish speaking, Laura kicked his balls, making him release his hands that were used to pin him,r and groaned in pain, holding his p***s.
"The kick is for kissing me publicly and the harassment," she said, burning in rage.
"I give you twenty-four hours to think of a way out, else your company will get worse than the current situation " she threatened then picked up her bag, and turned back to leave when he voiced out
"Let's get married " he dropped the bombshell.
Laura halted her walking, it seemed she just heard the wrong thing.
She turned back to look at him. At the time, he had stopped groaning In pain but yet, still holding his p***s.
"What did you just say?" She asked to be sure of what she heard.
"You heard me right, stop pretending. Is that not what you wanted? Yes! I've accepted to get married to you but it's gonna come with terms and conditions" he further explained, knowing that was the only way to gain back his reputation.
Laura grinned and moved forward. She sat on the sofa and then signaled to him to do the same thing.
"What are your conditions?" She asked.
"I will give you my conditions and you need to follow them, which of course, will be stamped by my lawyer" he added.
"I don't f*****g care. Just go ahead" she replied, feeling excited already. It was a mission accomplished for her.
"We will get married and we will be in the same house together like married couples but there will be nothing between us except this child. After you give birth to him and he clocks two years, we are going to seek for divorce but you don't need to worry about your child, we will both be involved in his life and he will never lack parental love" he explained.
The grins on Laura's face vanished instantly. Getting divorced after two years? Is that not too small?.
"What do you say about it?" Liam's voice brought her back from her thoughts.
"It's okay but with conditions. Firstly, there will be no intimacy between us" she responded.
"Gosh! How would I date for intimacy with a dirty girl like you? If not that I was drunk that day, I have no business getting hit by a girl like you" he scoffed as he retorted.
"The wedding will be elaborated and I'll be the one to discuss with the wedding planner the exact wedding that I want. Moreso, since I'm carrying your child, you have to make sure everything I need is available at home as we are going to live like a good couple. You place me on a weekly allowance because pregnancy isn't an easy journey, " she added.
"Gosh! I know all your plans are after money. Of course, I'll do that for you since you need it the most! Pauper like you are always after nothing but money, isn't it obvious? Is that not the reason you choose to keep this pregnancy? By the way, keep this marital contract off my grandpa's hearing and we are good" he added, then she stood up.
"If that's what you want, then no problem. But mind you, my charm is irresistible, so don't try to fall in love with me, else you will regret it" she sternly warned.
Liam glared at her from head to toe. She might be beautiful but not the least of his f*****g b***h is worse to her.
"In your dream" mumbled as he hissed.
She picked up his pen and a piece of paper and then wrote something on it.
"That's my number. I don't want you to stress yourself, my darling husband," she added, sending a wink before walking out of the office.
Liam was frustrated. He was feeling crazy at that moment and couldn't explain what was going on inside his head.
He hurriedly picked up his phone and called a number.
"Laura Anderson, I need every single information about her within the next twenty-four hours" he instructed then hung up the call immediately.
His television was on. He watched as Laura got out of his office, waving to the reporters who were waiting for her and smiling shamelessly.
"We have a wedding to plan!" She happily announced it to them.
Liam got annoyed and turned off the television with the remote that was on the table.
"Something needs to be done. I can't imagine ending up with this nuisance" he screamed out loudly.
"s**t! Dear Laura. The battle line has been drawn. I'll frustrate your life, I'll strangle that little human out of your tummy. You just met the wrong person and it course, I'll let you regret meeting me. You will learn in a harthe way" he threatened, promising with his fist folded, while burning in rage.
