CONTRACTED TO A BILLIONAIRE

Chapter 3

...Then don't employ their services; I can help myself here. I have been doing so since I was born with no difficulty". "And what if I can't do without the maids?" Andy asked as Jessica started dragging the boxes out, not willing to see reasons. "That is for you to worry about, I am around in case you need my help" Jessica closed the door gently. Andy stared at the closed door in anger "Damned woman".

Jessica packed her hair up the way she always did as she stood facing the mirror. The length of her hair always made people envy her even when the only thing she wanted to do was to shave it off. She rarely plait her hair due to the full hair she had. She was always subjected to at the salon so she had stuck to just washing the hair often.

It has been two days after the exhausting wedding and she had not really left the beach house. Andy had restricted her to the building, saying it would be awkward for the bride to be seen outside alone without her husband days after the wedding.

Jessica had asked him to go out with her but her contact husband had so many things to sort out on net and did not have the time to camouflage with her.

If a prophet had prophesied that Jessica would be married to a jerk like Andy, she would have called him a joker but now that she faced the reality, she really could not believe that she could agree to this marriage.

After putting on a long blue skirt and a black top, she laid on the bed feeling the piece of her shattered world the more. Jessica was someone who loved deeply but that proved to be a very bad thing for her.She had been jilted by three different guys who were practically s*x addicts. Her mother always told her before that abominable day that she should hold on till she was married before opening her legs for any guy.

Before the death of her entire family, she did not really gave the advice much thought until her family died. All she wanted to do was to obey her parents. The first man she had fallen in love with several years back, who was her first love her betrayed her by sleeping with her best friend. When she caught them in the act, she almost ran mad.

Trusting another guy had been almost impossible but due to her nature, she moved on and fell for another guy. He had been decent enough to call it quit with the excuse that he could not do without s*x until marriage, after several attempts to sleep with her. The third guy has been the one that really hurt her. It had taken a long time for her to get over it and even now the memories always moved her to tears and filled her with undiluted anger.

A knock interrupted her thoughts and she stood up from the bed. She opened the door and it was Andy who was in a grey suit. "Good morning sir"

Andy stared at her and replied her "Would I have spend a lifetime explaining why I hate this 'sir' you use for me, it makes me look old"

She stared at him for a while "Andrew, Andy, Drew choose one" She responded with an official look on her face, not smiling and not frowning.

He looked at her and laughed and then raised his brow " They all sound good but Drew, it sounds very good. He looked surprised.

"Good morning Drew" she responded

He looked at her with a frown on his face "Do you ever smile?"

"Do you respond to greetings" she answered immediately

He shook his head slowly

"Then I guess I should not bother greeting again" she said.

Andy realized that the took the shake of head as the answer to the question she asked. He thought of explaining but realized that he has wasted a lot of time already. "Today is Monday, I'm off to the office" he said.

Jessy blanched, "This is suppose to be our honeymoon, however it's fake. What would people think when you return to work few days after your wedding? it is not like you will get fired if you don't appear even for a year" It was after Jessy heard the echo of her voice that she realized she was shouting.

"Everyone can think whatever they want to think of, at least you didn't mind what the maids would think, why should I mind what my employees would think? he challenged calmly.

"They would think that I don't have the womanly or I'm not even caring enough to keep you for at least a week for our honeymoon, how would people look at me" she responded

"I guess that is for you to worry about " Jessica noticed he was throwing words back at her and that even made her more angry "This is the worst marriage ever. No wonder you had me sign a contract to marry you, no woman would marry such a self-centered man like you.

Andy's face changed before her eyes and she wanted to run but her stubborn nature made her stand where she was, returning his glare with equal measure. He grabbed her hand and all her courage left her leaving her with fear, "I guess that makes us the same,you also accepted the contract because of personal gain so think twice before calling me names"

He was gone before she could even blink and she leaned against the door facing up...
