ARDENIA
Rando: " Hey baby can I buy you a drink?"
" Like you can afford my drinks".
" I can afford more than you think sweet thing"
" I will take a vodka lemonade"
He walks away coming back with the drinks. I grab the drink smiling.
Before I can even take a sip the jerk walks behind this guy
" Do you enjoy buying drinks for other men's wives?"
" Maliki don't"
Rando: " Your married?"
" Look a$$hole the pretty girl obviously wants me and..." He turns around to face Maliki stopping his words.
Maliki Is 6' 4" about 380 pounds with muscles for days and Biceps that you could mistake for mountains. He has dark brown hair and bright blue eyes.
" Get up Ardenia it's time to go"
" I'm not going anywhere"
" Get up now or I will make you"
I cross my arms and stare at him
" Try me"
He pushes the guy that looks tiny compared to him aside and grabs my waist throwing me over his shoulder.
" Put me down you Paul Bunion freak"
" Shut it"
I groan as he tightens his grip, he throws me down in the limo sliding in I jump across the limo to the other seat.
" A$$hole"
" What the hell are you doing here I thought you where off tonight"
He rolls his eyes at me
" I'm never off when it comes to protecting my wife from random men"
" Right because it is such a hard chore to be married to me"
" You really think I wanted this Ardenia, you are nothing but a spoiled rotten brat"
" And your nothing more than my fathers pet Maliki why did I have to get stuck with you of all people"
" Brandon would have been better than you"
Brandon chuckles in the seat beside him and Maliki send him a death glare.
"It was just a drink Maliki"
" Right like the last time right"
" You don't know what you're talking about!"
The car stops and I climb over Brandon jumping out going to my room. I really wish I could get away from him. The fact that we share a room makes it even harder.

6 Weeks Ago
I feel like I have the worst hangover in the world. This holding cell is so bright why do they have to make drunk tanks so bright. The door rolls open
Officer: " Your dad is here Miss Carson"
I get up and walk out my dad has the angriest look on his face I know I am in trouble. Maliki is right behind him with his normal emotionless look on his face. Maliki is my dads head of security he took a bullet for him 2 years ago and earned my dads respect. He is 28 years old and an uber pain in my A$$.
I grab my purse and walk to the car sitting in the corner of the bench in the Limo. My dad and Maliki slip in the seat facing me. My dad throws a tabloid in my face.
" What the hell where you thinking Denny?"
I look at the headline
" Socialite Ardenia Carson breaks bottle over boyfriends head"
I throw the tabloid down
" He got what he deserved"
My dad runs his fingers through his jet black hair
" This is the last straw Ardenia"
" You are so wreckless"
" So cut me off or something, he still got what he deserved"
In my defense he really did get what he deserved. The first time I was in trouble was my fault because I took a lot of Zany and wrecked my car. The second again my fault because I fought another social in the middle of a Gala. But this one was not my fault.
" I'm not cutting you off Denny, you are getting married."
" MARRIED!!!"
" Have you lost your mind?"
" Who the hell would I marry"
" Him" He points to Maliki
I can't control my laughter
" You're joking right?"
" No Denny I'm not joking you will be marrying Maliki"
" You're insane I am not marrying anyone let alone your lapdog"
" You are, and you will or I will let that little celebrity boyfriend of yours press charges"
" I would rather go to jail then marry him"
" Besides I'm sure he would never agree to it anyways."
" He already has"
" You will marry Maliki for 2 years you can get a divorce on your 23rd birthday"
" If you succeed with all the stipulations you will receive my company and Maliki will walk out of this a very rich man"
" You are paying him to marry me?"
" 4.2 Million to be exact"
" And mom does she agree to this?"
" She told me to do what I must and this is what must happen"
" Well I am not doing it so end of discussion"
I lay my aching head back in the seat and try not to vomit from the movement of the car. I really hate being a person that is always in the limelight sometimes.
My dad owns the number one stock broker company here in Delestada this country is very rich and everyone here love my parents. Me I have been the trouble maker since I was 19 Three more days and I will be 21 and he expects me to get married for 2 years? To the man who's head is so far up my dads butt I don't know how he breathes.
" When is the wedding?"
My dad sighs
" Two days"
" When we get home I will have our lawyers draw up the agreement."
I wave my hand
Maliki: " Here Ardenia sit up take this"
I look at him
" What is it?"
" Aspirin for your hangover"
I grab it from him and take it downing it with the water he hands me. Then lay my head back again this is going to be a long two years.
MALIKI
My boss is pissed yet again as we load in the car to go pick up Ardenia from the police station once again. That girl is nothing but trouble
Mr Carson: " Maliki I would like to ask you a favor"
" Anything sir"
" I want you to marry Denny"
I force back my laughter keeping my somber face
" Sir why would you want me to do that?"
It isn't that Ardenia is bad on the eyes or anything She is 5' 4 " has Bright wavy red hair gorgeous green eyes a tiny perfect little nose with freckles all over. She has plush pink lips that make the perfect pouty face to get her way. Perky t**s a small bit of curve and a tiny little butt. I am not a gay man I have looked at her beauty but just because she is attractive doesn't change the fact that she is nothing but a pain in my a$$.
" Ardenia has been getting into trouble a lot, I believe that if I make her settle down and focus more on her schooling she will do great things"
" Okay but why me?"
" Because I trust you to take care of my little girl, I will pay you Maliki 4.2 Million dollars"
I nod
" Anything to make you happy sir but I don't need the money"
We go pick up Ardenia and she actually agreed I was sort of hoping she would refuse and go to jail and be out of my hair for a while.
The boss is drawing up paperwork with the lawyers as I stand at my post behind him.
The agreement is
Ardenia is to cause no trouble, can not be arrested, graduate college and has to be faithful and pure to the marriage.
my deal is I have to become her personal body guard, Go to social events as her husband and treat her like my wife.
We will coincide together as husband and wife. Have weekly nights together as husband and wife in public, and the kicker here is no public fights.
I sign my name to the agreement and she does the same then walks back out of the office with her attitude this is going to be a long 2 years.
