“Talk to me Nico, oh you’ve found her?”
“Very good I’d be there soon”
“So Kayda, I never really understood where does a woman get such strength and courage to stick up to Italy’s largest conglomerates son.”
“ Tell me princess where’d you get the courage from”
“He was rude I decided to teach him a lesson”
“Teaching Dante a lesson isn’t something I thought any woman would say”
“I don’t care, I’m just here looking for a honest earning and he chose to belittle me”
“Dante can be too much I know that for sure”
“Do you want to learn Italian, Lucia says you’re not fully engrossed”
“I’m not interested, I might go back to my hometown”
“Care to tell me what you really want Mr Nico”
A bunch of suvs pulled up right infront of Lucia’s place, obviously it’s another entitled rich showing off.
“I’m not even going to pay attention, the rate at which you rich show off Is disgusting”
“You might want to pay attention to who’s coming” Nico chuckled
“Here you are My Cinderella”
“Oh it better not be him again” I thought to myself as I slowly turned
“It just had to be you, what do you want round 2?”
“I want to marry you”
“You’re getting desperate with it”
“You know I can have any woman I want over here”
“Then go be with them, why are you drawn to me that doesn’t care about you?”
“It’s not like I love you or anything but we just need an arranged marriage”
“Why would I want to do that with you playboy”
“I’d cut to the chase, I’d pay you”
“I don’t want your money, but what really is the catch were you given a deadline to find a bride”
“Yes”
“I need a woman I know can protect herself when I’m not around”
“ And it’s me you want?”
“Just drop the act, I’m willing to pay you any amount plus it’s not like we’d fall in love and make the marriage official”
“How much do you want to pay me?”
“€40,000,000 monthly, just read the contract and sign it”
“To be fair I’m doing this cause I got in trouble with some gang earlier, so you better be offering me protection”
“You’d be brought to my estate tonight and meet my father tomorrow”
The room fell silent, Nico and Lucia looking surprised as to why we’d choose to marry on the spot.
“This is about to get interesting” Nico chuckled
“I’m willing to bet they’d fall in love, you know how all these contracts go Nico” Lucia added
“The both of you stop talking, you’re getting on my nerves” Dante said coldly
I just stared at them, how the big trio happened to have a strong aura. It felt like they run the town.
“So Cinderella don’t bother packing anything, we’re getting you everything new to start afresh. Eleanor would be of assistance to you.”
“She’s waiting for you at your apartment, don’t keep her waiting.”
“How’d you find my house creep, you really are obsessed”
I stood up and left the group of friends, on my way home I could feel I was being followed.
“Ma’am give me your purse or I’d hurt you”
I looked at this robber who seemed to be trembling
“Is this your first robbery, come on you can do better than that” I said mockingly
“Just give me your purse!”
“Fine take it” I handed over the purse
“I’m going to go now, have fun kid”
I went home and as expected. Eleanor was waiting for me.
“Good day Mrs Moretti, are you ready to go shopping ma’am”
“Please call me Kayda, I feel we’d be be best of friends”
“We have a lot to do ma’am to get you ready for tonight”
“Ugh you’re so uptight Eleanor, let’s go shopping then”
“Mr Moretti ordered you get clothes, shoes and any other thing you’d need for your new job as ceo”
“CEO? I never agreed to that. I mean who trusts a complete stranger to lead their company?”
“I’m just following orders ma’am, here’s your platinum card”
“That’s where you’d receive your allowance ma’am”
“I’d like to speak to Dante, get him on the line”
“It’d be better if you meet him at the estate ma’am, let’s focus on the shopping for now”
We bought all the essentials to prepare me for my new life but I still wasn’t feeling so comfortable with it all.
The drive home it was silent, Eleanor wasn’t planning on being friends.
The Moretti’s estate was so big it was like another city on its own, how and why do the rich always end up wasting their money?
The car stopped right infront of the mansion an old man opened the door.
“Good day Mrs Moretti, hope the drive wasn’t too bumpy. My names Alfred”
“Hello Alfred, the ride was very smooth thank you for asking”
“Follow me ma’am, Mr is waiting for you at the study”
“Okay lead the way please”
I was so amazed, the mansion was so big with steps to high. No wonder he got lonely and needed a wife but o needed to know why he desperately needed a wife.
“Mr Moretti your bride has arrived sir.”
“Thank you Alfred, please give us a moment alone”
“As you wish sir”
He closes the door behind him, I was still is awe when Dante grabbed me by my waist and pulled me in.
“Ah my Cinderella, you like your new palace”
“ I’m just disgusted by how much space you’re wasting and how much money was put into this waste”
“You’re always going to question and hate on the rich huh Cinderella?”
“Oh please let’s talk about why you truly wanted this marriage”
“Why’re you asking?”
“No sane man would choose to marry a stranger, especially one who can kill them without thinking twice”
“It’ll be romantic to die in the hands of one I love, fine then I chose you because you have guts”
“What does that have to do with anything?”
“You’d need a lot of it when you meet my family, especially since they aren’t happy I handed the company over to you”
“I don’t know how to run a company, give it to who it belongs too Dante”
“It belongs to me! They have to right to swoop in randomly after I’ve built it all”
“How long is this sham of a marriage Supposed to last? I really need to get back to London soon”
“London?, does that mean I get to meet my inlaws?”
“I don’t want to discuss about my family, drop the topic. You don’t have in-laws”
“Why’re you so sharp mouthed”
“Why’re you so stupid in love huh player”
“I don’t play women I love”
“I’m a woman, not women”
“Sorry grammar police, is this how you all aren’t fun in London?”
“Rules, we sleep in different rooms, I can’t stand your face Mr Moretti. I don’t care if you mess around just don’t let me hear you”
“If we’re married, why can’t we sleep together? We have to sell the act to my family”
“Fine then you sleep on the floor, I’m not negotiating with you mister”
“You Americans really run what they call a tight program”
“I’m just making sure I don’t take chances, when the contracts over I need to make sure I feel nothing at all”
“And what if I’d want to marry you for real?”
“That can’t work I have a throne to go back and claim”
“I really want to know your story Cinderella”
“And I’m not in the mood to tell it sir”
“Okay I won’t pressure you, let’s get this contract signed and start our brand new lives”
“How’d this contract be approved?”
“I’d send it to my lawyer first thing tomorrow, you don’t have to worry bride”
We signed the contract, a year of marriage just so Dante can sort whatever it is he needs to sort and so I can have enough money to challenge my mother back in London.
“Good night Dante, I’d call Alfred to take me too the room”
“Good night Cinderella”
