Contracted Hearts

Chapter three

Ethan’ pov:

I’m not a man that took fantasy in enjoying a ladies company but somehow I was enjoying this mysterious woman's presence.

“Ok fine, I will do it,let’s get you out of here,you look wasted” I said to her and her eyes lit up immediately.

She sure was a strange one.

“Yay” she screamed like a little child.

I paid for the bills and helped this lady walk to my car,she was so wasted the moment she entered my car she passed out.

I knew she was very drunk.I tried to wake her up but she wouldn't budge. I needed her address but with her state like this I don’t think that’s possible.

“To my place” I said to my driver.

And we drove to my place.

In less than 20 mins we arrived at my penthouse,I carried her in my arms and went straight to my room. I placed her gently on my bed.

After doing all that I looked at her,she looked peaceful while sleeping and suddenly she started crying and whispering “what did I do wrong to get hurt like this?I was loyal and dedicated” she said, still sleeping and tears falling from her closed her.

Was this why she wanted to get her revenge?

Suddenly the buzzing of my phone broke my attention from her.

I took my phone out of my pocket, and my best friend Andrew was calling. Why was he calling me at this time?

“ hello” I said In a grumpy voice as I picked the call.

“You sound like a bear growling” he said to me as soon as I heard his voice and I was not surprised with his outburst. He loves teasing me and I’m used to all his attics.

“Why are you calling me Andrew?I don’t have all the time in the world so stop with the teasing and go straight to the point because I have my own problem” I said to him in a stern voice.

“Chill man what’s going on you sound tense?” He asked me, in a voice that showed he was concerned.

“Is this why you called?” I asked him,not really sure how I was going to answer him.

“Not really,but now it’s added to the list and my reason for calling you is to ask you,when did you start dating and why do I know nothing about it?” He asked me again.

When did I get a girlfriend? In Fact this was the second time a lady was staying inside my room. My ex and this unknown lady.

Whenever I needed a quick release I had girls to do that, I usually went to my hotel and used my suit room.

“I don’t know what rubbish you are talking about.” I said to him in a stern voice.

“So why did your mum call me and start asking me questions about your mysterious girlfriend you were going to show her in a week's time” he said to me

Ahh my mum I almost forgot,where am I going to see a girl to get married to?

“Ahh f*ck, that’s true my mum where do I get a girl now I can’t just marry any girl?” I asked him or rather myself but Andrew held me loud and clear.

“So it’s true,you are getting married” he said to me clearly holding his laughter.

What a scumbag.

“I'm not joking,I'm serious, I really don't know what to do,I don’t want to get married to anyone.” I said to him

“Yeah I get you, it’s not easy leaving this sweet single life.” He said, still sounding weird.

“My head is banging” I said calmly as I walked to the couch in the room and sat on it while staring at the mysterious woman sleeping on my bed.

“How about a contract marriage?” He asked me.

Contract marriage! That was a good idea,I knew Andrew would come up with something he was very smart even though he loved playing around.

“Yes that’s true, why didn’t I think about this?” I said to him, making him finally release the laugh.

“Because you are dumb,very dumb you pretend to be all Business but lack some sense” he teased me.

Foolish man.

“F*CK you, yeah I will give you the credits that indeed you came up with a good idea, I will get married for a year onces the Business deal with the investors are over in a year I will divorce her” wow what a brilliant idea.

“But the problem is,where would you get a girl that would keep to the contract you set and in a matter of time in a week?” He asked me.

Hmmm,

Suddenly an idea popped in my head and I smiled at myself. At least I was smart too.

“Don’t worry about whether I can handle it,” I said to him.

“Hmm, let’s say it all happens and you get married. What if you fall in love with her over time?” He asked me.

Me love ? Hahaha!! Very funny.

“You know it’s impossible, I barely love and I don’t think I can even love a person anymore than I loved her” I said to him. And he knew what I meant by her.

My ex,I don’t even want to think about her right now.

“ ok man, I understand I guess have helped you out,I will come by the office tomorrow to check on you, good night man” he said to me

“Ok” I said to him then hung up.

I went to the bathroom to freshen up. After freshening up I wore just shorts and went to the couch to sit down,I stared at her still sleeping soundly.

Hmm let’s see how tomorrow morning goes

And with those thoughts I drifted off to sleep.

Charlotte’s pov

I slowly opened my eyes to the banging of my head. Jezz what did I drink?

I looked up to the ceilings and saw a grand chandelier that illuminates the room. Ok where am I? This is definitely not a familiar place.

I sat up on the bed immediately, and took in my surroundings. I was in a really big room and was currently sitting on a lavish king sized bed,draped in luxurious silk sheets. Fit for a king looking for luxury and comfort.

Ok where the hell am I ?

I looked at the floor to ceiling curtains that start from the end of the first corner to end of the other corner Õk why was this curtains for long.

I stood up and walked towards it. I opened it a bit.

And I was amazed by the breathtaking view of the city skyline. The floor to ceiling window offered this breathtaking view, no wonder it had these huge curtains that were so wide.

Oh my God I was in a penthouse.

How did I get here?

I used my right hand to press my forehead as I stepped back from the curtains.

And suddenly I got flashbacks from last night and my eyes grew wide so everything was real I thought I was dreaming.

My cheating fiancé, sorry ex now and the strange handsome man.

“Ohh my God I asked him for a one night stand,” I opened my eyes in shock.

Did he do it, I started looking at my body and saw it was all intact and I didn’t feel sore down there.

Why did he bring me here?

I was so lost in thoughts that I did not know when the man walked in from the bathroom.

“I see you are awake” I heard a deep musky voice and I raised my head to the direction I heard it from.

Behold I saw the strange handsome man from last night standing opposite me, he looked even more breathtaking, water was dripping from his body and he was tied in only a towel around his waist. How can a human be this handsome? I didn’t mind having a one night stand with someone with that kind of muscles and stomach muscles he was fit in all ways. And his hairs were in a wet mess but he still looked so f*****g hot.

Ok I can’t believe I checked him out, but I couldn’t resist the urge he is breathtaking.

With all the strength in me I asked “who the hell are you?”

“Hmmm so you are fiesty, not like yesterday you were begging me to f*CK you, or you would go elsewhere” he said to me in a teasing tone.

I opened my mouth in shock.

“I-it was n- not my f-fault, it was that stupid drink” I said to him, stuttering.

I had never drank anything like that and it made me say useless stuff.

“Blaming it on the drink already?” He said to me still standing there looking at me with a smirk on his face.

“No I’m not, forget about,how did I get here?” I asked him because I didn’t have all day for this drama.

“I knew you were high,so I didn’t touch you. I only helped you because you looked hurt, " he said to me calmly.

I sighed inwardly.

“Thank you” I said in a low voice.

“Don’t thank me, I need your help with something.” He said to me this time with a cold voice.

Hmm how can I possibly help me?

“Help you with what?” I asked him.

“I will help you with your revenge and you will help me with mine” he said to me.

“What revenge?” I asked him.

“Stop pretending, I heard everything from your sleep. I know your partner betrayed you and now you want revenge” he said to me.

I stared at him with shock.

“I know I might sound weird but I mean everything I’m about to say” he paused and looked at me.

I could only stare at him.

“I will help you get revenge and give you anything you want but in one condition, GET INTO A CONTRACT MARRIAGE WITH ME” he said with a stern voice.

“What?” I blurted out in shock.

Is This guy crazy?
