Contract Marriage: A monster is made

Chapter 5: Make Her Trust You

Ahh...Hiss, it's painful, I guess I lost it last night, Tessie said to herself before opening her eyes, the light bright enough to make her squint her eyes

Wow, who is he? Sharp chiseled jawline, Wow, he's handsome, almost like an angel.

Are u done looking?? Stephan asked

Wow, such a nice voice, but it's slightly cold, she groans inside.

She stood up, stretched, and yawned lazily.

If you are that interested in seducing me this morning, then I think you need to get your head checked, he said angrily.

What do you mean? Tessie asked, confused; he had a handsome but poisonous tongue.

When you are ready to speak to me properly, I'll be in the sitting room, he said while walking away.

What do you...Ahhhhhh, Tessie screamed, she was standing in all her glory on full display.

Damn, he could have told me I am naked instead of speaking in riddles.

She walked into the shower slowly, the pain a gentle reminder that she was no longer pure.

When she walked out wrapped with a towel she saw a dress on the bed.

At least he is thoughtful, she said while putting on the dress.

Wow, he has good taste, she said, feeling the quality of the fabric before walking to the lobby.

Thanks for the dress, it's beautiful.

You made the dress more beautiful, he complimented.

Wow... he's a smooth talker, Tessie thought while blushing.

So who sent you to climb my bed? Who sent you to seduce me?

What's your purpose? What do you stand to gain in all of this?? A series of questions poured out one by one from mouth.

Tessie: "..."

I take my words back, he should be mute, she thought.

What do you mean? She asked confused.

You want me to believe that you being by my side at that moment was a chance encounter, huh? Stephan asked disbelief written All over his face.

I saw you were in danger, then I helped you. I wanted to leave, but you held me tight, and then eventually, you overpowered me, Tessie said as a matter of fact.

I overpowered you, or you were cheap Which is it? He asked with obvious mockery in his eyes, you knew me. That's why you allowed me to sleep with you, right? You knew I was an Anderson, and here you are, acting innocently.

I won't let you insult me; if I was cheap, you wouldn't have been my first, a**hol e, and for the record, I didn't know who you were, She retorted.

Oh dear, no need to get all worked up because I am not done, Stephan said, agitated.

I don't care if you are done or not, but if word gets out that you are shrinking responsibility for a woman you slept with, I am pretty sure your reputation will be ruined, Tessie said provocatively.

Are you threatening me, girl??

Don't underestimate yourself; with a flick of my finger, you are gone, Stephan said, visibly angry.

Well, you can get rid of me; I also admit that your family is powerful, but how would you feel when evidence is presented that you r***d and killed me? How do you intend to clear your name? Tessie said fearlessly.

You came prepared, right, okay? What Do you want?

I want you to marry me, Tessie said.

Your ambitions are big, and I must admit you are fearless, but do you think just any woman can be married into the Anderson family?

And besides am not interested.

Hold on, before you refuse me decisively, I just need your power to get revenge on my uncle, and I also know you need a wife, so it's a win-win situation.

A low, mellow laugh sounded, Do you think so??

I can help shield you from any arranged marriage from your family, but I need your power and influence, please, Tessie pleaded.

You approached me with a purpose, I hate your type.

I will contact you, he said as he stood up.

Okay, I look forward to hearing from you, Tessie said softly too tired to argue.

Stephan walked out, and Tessie collapsed on the chair from exhaustion; it was tiring talking to a big shot, but at least she had hope.

What are the results? Stephan Anderson asked his assistant, Mike, at his office.

According to the surveillance, She was standing a bit far from your private booth in the bar, but Croft Milan was speaking with his subordinate within earshot, so I think she heard it from them; he responded calmly.

Okay, I want all the information on her, everything, no details should be excluded, and I want it before the end of the work day.

Yes sir, Mike said.

And make sure Metal Empire goes bankrupt before Friday, Stephan said, his face visibly darkened.

Croft dares to plot against me, he should be ready to bear the brunt.

Will do that sir, Mike said before walking away.

To my office, Stephan said to his driver as he entered his car, then he drove off.

Inside his office***

In all my 30 years on earth, I have never been calculated, Stephan said while undoing his tie, two buttons loose from his shirt.

His female secretary entered his office, saw him without his tie, and was blushing profusely.

Sirr, you erm, you have a meeting by 2:00 pm, then a dinner meeting by 4:30 pm, she said while stammering and blushing profusely, her face red like a monkey's butt.

Leave, Stephan said annoyingly.

Why does this person remind me of her, her eyes, her body melting in my arms?

Shit, what is wrong with me, I am having an erection with just the thought of her; I am losing it, seriously, Stephan said while sweating.

I need a cold shower, he said before leaving to his rest area where the bathroom is located.

Croft Milan's Residence.

What's the information, Croft asked.

I checked the surveillance, and he was rescued by an unknown girl, but I've sent her picture to our hacker friend for identification; when we have the results, I will let you know, sir.

Okay, What about the girl who spoilt our plans?

She's in the basement as you requested and she is being dealt with, Odgar said.

If anything new comes up, call me, Croft Milan said before walking away.

Yes sir, Odgar said before leaving.

Today was hectic, Stephan said while walking out of his company after finishing his meetings for the day.

Take me home, he said to the driver.

Yes, boss.

On getting home, he saw Mike waiting for him there.

Speak, Stephan Anderson said without much emotion in his eyes.

Mike handed him a file.

The file contained everything about her; her name is Tessie Donovan, 22 years old, Just finished her final year exam, a genius in hiding, and most importantly, her uncle took her father's company.

She can be used as a tool to get her father's company handed to you on a silver platter.

My advice is to make her trust you and then snatch the company from her, Mike said to Stephan.

Then it's true what she said; it's a win-win situation, Stephan Anderson said while smiling devilishly.

Contact her and tell her to meet me tomorrow by 10:30am.

Yes, sir, Mike said before leaving to make a phone call.

After 2 rings, hello,

Hello, Tessie's said slowly obviously sleepy.

This is Mr. Stephan Anderson's assistant, Mike; you are asked to be at the Anderson group tomorrow morning by 10:30am; please don't be late he said before ending the call.

Tessie stared at her phone, with obvious joy in her. Yes, I am going to the Anderson group; better get some sleep, but sleep was far from her.

Vengeance will soon be mine.
