My Contracted Cinderella

Chapter 6.

On Going Plan...

After the fake wedding we did. That day, as we were about to go home, I winked at Mrs. Margret to assure her that the plan is falling into place and she smiled back at me.

That night after the wedding while I was sleeping peacefully, I heard a harsh knock on the door and Jayson was the one shouting so loud. He said.

"Bella! Bella open the door for me. I want to sleep in the room while you sleep on the couch".

When I heard what he said I got up angrily because I hated being disturbed while I'm asleep.

And then I opened the door and said,

"Wait! you can't sleep on the bed tonight".

And he replied by saying.

" Why can't I sleep on the bed today besides, you are the one who is supposed to sleep on the couch and not me because it's my house and I can sleep wherever I want okay, so get out let me sleep".

And then I said;

" I'm going to call off this marriage and I will tell Lala everything that we did unless you do as I tell you to .''

"And what will I have to do for you ?" He said in a confusing state.

By that time I already had a book and a pen and I wrote down a list of Rules and I began by clearing my throat. And I said;

"Since I'm now your new and only wife I have just three rules for you. Number one! do not treat me anyhow just because you're paying me. Because if you do so, I will donate your belongings to the Orphanage one by one."

"Ahh! please don't" he screamed like a scared cat.

I laughed and said;

" It will happen only if you treat me like I'm nothing to you."

"It won't happen, just move on with the next rule, please. I'm tired."

"okay. Number two, You must always agree with your wife in whatever she does."

"Okay. go on." He said.

"Number three, the very last and most important rule. I quoted a line from a movie I've watched and it says, ``Don't you ever fall in love with me because you'll regret it."

I said with high hopes and then he replied by saying;

"Nah that's not a problem I can never like or love a girl, not to talk of somebody like you."

"Okay, okay I don't even care because once I get my money I'll be leaving your life for good. Got it!" I said as I kept my book back inside my small purse.

"Now move!" He said as he pushed me away from the bed.

"No! even though I'm small you can't just push me out of the bed like that. Have some respect, besides I'm your wife!" I said as I jumped back on the bed.

And then he was like;

"Huh.. you're not my wife, I don't have a wife. You're just my Contracted wife, I pay you, you work for me!"

"It's enough! I've heard you but you have to refer to rule Number one, which says..."

"You don't need to repeat it, Ahh!" He said.

"Okay. I think we should play toss the coin to see who gets the bed for tonight." I said as I brought out my coin from my purse.

"Are you ready!" I asked as I was about to toss the coin.

"Yes, I'm ready ." He answered. And I picked heads and he picked tails.

So I tossed the coin on the bed and he landed on heads and I won.

So that night he was forced to sleep on the couch outside the room.

The next morning came and I woke up and couldn't find him on the bed then I started screaming his name but no one answered.

Suddenly, my phone rang, thinking it was him. I quickly picked up my phone and saw that it was my dad calling and I answered and said.

"Dad! I'm so happy to hear from you, how is everyone at home? I miss you guys so much". I said and then he said

" We are all doing fine, thank you for all that you did for us even though you had to go to the extreme to help. We appreciate it. And we Miss you so much too, especially me". He said with tears in his eyes which I found out through his voice.

" Dad don't cry because if you cry I'm going to cry too". I said with tears already in my eyes.

Suddenly he asked for my address and I quickly ended the call by pretending not to hear him. I pretended as if the call was getting disconnected. And I said;

"Dad, dad there's no network here, Dad I can't hear you, can you hear me, Dad," I said this while making funny noises through the phone and then I ended the call.

I went to the toilet to brush my teeth

only to find out what Jayson did to my face.

Jayson drew a cat on my face with a black marker and I was very very angry I just stared at the mirror and screamed. It was very hard for me to take it off.

Jayson on the other hand went to meet with the lawyer about the money. Unfortunately for him, there was another adjustment to the receiving of the money.

The lawyer told him that he would get one million for each week he says married and this made Jayson furious. And he shouted;

"What, how?! and why?!".

"It was adjusted recently," said the lawyer

"Wait! seventy weeks is seventeen and a half months! Ohh My God" said one of Jayson's best friends.

"Bro we can do this besides we have to start the project". said the other of his best friend who whispered in his ear.

"Okay, Mr lawyer, can we have the one million for this week". said Jayson.

"Yes you can," said the Lawyer and he took the money and came back home in disappointment.

When he got back home, he met his Grandmother at home with me and he was surprised and he asked;

"Lala what are you doing here?" she said.

"I Came to see you guys."

"But Lala, there was no need for that, we are fine," Jason said.

"I know but I just felt like coming to see the latest couples in town. And why on Earth did you draw on her face." His Grandmother said.

"Hmm. I drew it out of play. Okay, I'm sorry. You know I love you so much." He said as he cuddled me in some kind of stupid way.

He hugged me so tight that my skin started to turn red.

As this was going on, Mrs. Magret winked at me giving me the sign that it was time to kick off with phase one of the plan which I understood.

"Okay. I've heard you, but first, you have to kiss me on my cheeks for your apology to be accepted." I said already feeling uncomfortable Because I hated it when guys came around me.

And that's why I don't take the roles of a wife, a girlfriend, or even a harlot.

He didn't kiss me, he only snuggled his nose around my face. And then I wanted to make some trouble for him and I said;

"That's not kissing, you're just hurting my cheeks. I said, ``Give me a proper Peck on my cheeks." I said while trying to laugh.

He was frustrated. So, I wanted to calm him down but I did not know-how. I only got up from where I was sitting beside him and went to sit on his lap. He was not happy. It was only when I started rubbing his silky black hair that he was smiling.

He only whispered to me while his grandmother was busy doing something else. He said.

"What are you doing!" I just replied to him and said,

"Be quiet. I'm doing this for your good so stay quiet and play along."

That smile that showed on his face meant a lot to me because I felt like the plan was going in accordance.

At Least I know I would be paid by his Grandmother for just cheering him up.

"Lala, I went to collect the money but the lawyer told me that I'll be getting one million for each week I stay married to Bella. Lala, is this true?" Jayson said.

"Yes it's true, but I wanted to make sure that you remain in this marriage till death do you path". His Grandmother said.

"What! Lala, what do you mean? Nothing is going to destroy our marriage, we are meant to be. Right?" He said as he rubbed my thighs.

"Hmm.. yes we are" I replied.

"You see, Lala, we love each other so much that we wouldn't want to think of any separation or ending of a marriage." He said while I took his hand off my thighs.

"Okay." His Grandmother said.

"Then Lala, take down the adjustment so that I can get my full payment. Please." Jayson said as he pushed me away from his lap.

"It's not that I don't want to take it down, it's just that I want you to enjoy this marriage before you think of destroying it" His Grandmother replied.

"Lala! please" Jayson said.

"Jayson I'm tired right now and I need to have some rest. I'll be leaving now. And Bella, help me take care of Jayson okay." His Grandmother said as she was about to leave.

"Lala No!" Jayson screamed.

"I love you, dear. Bye!" His Grandmother said as she walked out of the living room with her assistant.

"I love you too.." He said with a sad face.

"Jayson, Emm..just calm down. One day you'll be paid in full." This was me thinking I could calm him down.

That didn't work, instead, he shouted at me as if I was to be blamed for what had happened.

"Don't come close to me! And what was that stuff you were doing while my Lala was here? Do you think that by getting close to me would make me fall in love with you? You're wrong. Nothing will ever make me fall for you! Got it!" Jayson said in a fit of rage.

That made me sad. I felt like crying. But as usual, I kept my confidence way high up in the sky.

I felt like answering him back but I remembered that I was not working for him but his Grandmother.

I hoped that the next day would be better. And it turned out to be a very pleasant surprise. I liked it.
