My Fake Billionaire Husband

A Silent Forgotten Beat Deep Down My Heart

Katy's Point of View

His words hit the bottom of my soul. First, he insults me with his proposal of paying money, and now he dares to say I’m not his type, as if he didn’t try different methods to get to me last night. I don’t like his arrogance or his dominant attitude. I can see him watching me as I move, and I can feel how my breath gets heavy when my eyes meet his. I need to provoke him more. Mr. Connors doesn't know me yet.

"Calm down, Mark; I see the aura of players illuminating the entire space around you, and I don't like or date players. We are on the same page. If I liked you, I would’ve kissed you back, not walked away from you. " I roll my eyes and look away from him, still trying to process everything that has happened so far.

"Don't roll your eyes at me. I might change my mind and kiss you again. He winks and smiles.

Thank God I backed off last night. I don’t know what kind of asshole he is, or how he could even think about treating a woman like that. If he has never met a real lady in his life, then say hello to me, I’ll show him with whom he’s dealing. The only problem is that we were in bed together this morning, and I have no clue what happened... what if something happened? What if this arrogant, good-looking alpha is my first? Why did he kiss me if he doesn’t like me? Why did it feel good when we danced? Why am I upset that he's not into me? I'm in trouble. So many questions in my mind, I know we need a plan, a safe plan. But first I need my coffee to wake up and start thinking wisely about how to get myself out of this situation or to get myself as far away as possible from him.

" Would you like to have coffee? I’m making one for myself. "

"Yes, that would be a great baby!"

"Stop calling me that, Mark."

I made us two strong cups of coffee. We sit on the sofa, looking at each other silently. All of a sudden, I burst into laughter. I was laughing hysterically. Mark was watching me, and he's sure now that I'm crazy. I think this is what they call a nervous breakdown after so many events you go through, and my events were all within less than 12 hours.

I turned from being Miss. Smith to being Mrs. Connors, and Mr. Connors is not even interested in me.

Usually, I am a magnet for bad boys, I always attract womanizers, players, bad boys, unfaithful, emotionless. You can say that I am a well-designed professional magnet for players. Ironically, the one time I decided to say no to a player, and walk away from him (while I was still conscious), I found myself fakely married to him the next morning. It's like fate is making fun of me.

My arrogant, fake husband said I’m not his type.

I take two deep breaths and calm myself down. Then I concentrate on how to get out of this big fat lie I just told my family. I need to explain to him that I'm not the person who lies or even the person who would drag someone into this, I need him to understand my situation. I need to be me.

"Mark, first let me start with an apology. I am sorry for dragging you into this. As you can see, I come from a family that is so far away from civilized... "

"Stop Katy, you don’t have to explain..."

"No, you need to listen to me and understand me. It won't be easy to say what I'm about to tell you. My family still lives like old times. They are old-fashioned and have their own set of rules in life. They have their own manners and their own beliefs, and I respect them a lot, of course. Growing up with them, I was taught to believe that women are only to be housewives and mothers, but my mom stood by my side, and she helped me have different goals and work hard to achieve them. She didn't want to see me married at a young age, as her parents forced her to. I fought hard to finish my education, and managed to start working in the city. My mom helped me a lot by convincing my father and keeping me away from Arkala. I owe her a lot. Believe me, I love them dearly, but we have different mindsets. As you can see, you can’t have a normal discussion with them; it’s only arguments and fights. "

Tears burning in my eyes, coursing down my cheeks without warning, Mark's hands touched my cheeks and wiped my tears away. Then he wraps his arm around me and hugs me tenderly, and I just lay on his chest, which felt like home. Then he whispers in my ears:

"Don't worry, we are in this together."

When I looked at him, I could see different expressions than before, a soft look; someone who has a good heart hidden behind his character. I never told a stranger anything about my parents, but it just feels better to speak the truth to someone I got involved with.

"I never knew this kind of mindset still existed. I am sorry to hear that you had to fight for the right to have a normal life. "

I looked at him and nodded, "Thank you. " and continued:

"Yesterday, my father warned me to be at his home before midnight. You know, I might turn into a pumpkin if I am late. " I laugh sarcastically, "I planned to go to Arkala after the wedding directly, but things didn't go my way."

I take a breath and look down at the ground, I feel uncomfortable, but I continue bravely: "To allow me to live and work in the city, they have a few conditions, and one of them is that every weekend I have to be with them in the village."

"Interesting, and last night you broke the rules."

"Yes indeed. It was the first time that I broke the rules, look at the trouble i've got us into. I promise you, I will get us out of this trouble. You don’t need to worry about anything. "

I felt ashamed and embarrassed. Though he is arrogant and egotistical, he stood by my side and didn't say a word to my father. He is a classic man who avoids being in trouble, the type you avoid being embarrassed in front of him.

"Let’s see how things will go. It's just a matter of time. We just need to go with the flow as husband and wife, and I guess we need to move in together. "

"Mark, I don’t want to limit your freedom. Your whole life will change if I move in with you, and it’s not fair for you. It's a big sacrifice that I can't accept. Besides, this is a fake marriage."

He lifts my face up to look at him.

"You didn't ask me, I suggested moving in for real. Just think about it. Don't decide now. "

"For the time being, let's just keep each other in our respective places, "I replied, sounding firm and making my final decision.

But a silent forgotten beat deep down in my heart hoped that this wouldn't be my final decision.
