contract marriage

meeting her 2

Claire's POV

'is this guy nuts or something' I thought

'why would I want marry someone I just met, and marriage has never, and will never, be apart of my to do list cause marriage is simply just another name for heartbreak, and I've learnt from my parents broken marriage that marriage, contract or arranged only ends in pain and sorrow even true love is a scam and Felix has thought me that in the worst way ever

"No" I said and walked away

"It's just for a year" he said and I stopped and turned around

"What do you mean"

"Exactly that marry me only for a year"

"What's the catch" I ask knowing there had to be a reason this moron was asking me to marry him, when there's thousand of women out there waiting to marry him, he is quite, good looking I'll give him that.

"If you can give me a child within a year then we stay married " he said,

this is tricky, as much as I don't want to be stuck in a marriage, I really need a house, or I could lose my job, and that fool Sandra, will rub it in my face, and anyways there's no way I'm letting myself get pregnant so why not, and after a year I'll just pack up and leave, easy peasy

"Ok, but... I get to continue leaving my life the way I'm doing now, and until I get pregnant we won't announce that we're a married couple ok" I state my own terms, cause there's no way I'm going to let a man tell me how to leave my life especially not someone I met in the middle of the road and then he almost killed me

"Fine by me, let's go" he says and walk away and I follow him from behind

'now I kinda feel like this is all a trap, but I'm going to make sure I don't get caught in it, hopefully'

The car ride was longer than expected and it was really quiet and very awkward, but thankfully we got to his house, or should I say his mansion, I hope that he lives alone so that we don't have to share a room.

We walked in to the house, which is beautifully designed in black and grey, giving a beautiful homie vibe, the cushions are black with two pillows at each end, the wall where grey with only two paintings hanging on the walls, a coffee table was right in the middle , and a fire place in front of it, two lone couch was at both ends of the coffee table the floor where tilled with black marvel tiles everything about the house reminded me of that fool but there's no way he can own this, he was always on bad terms with the capo and this is his base according to what I heard,

"this is the first floor" he said and points to his left " and that's the kitchen, each floor has its own there's three floors the top floor is for us and the second for visitor" he says and I nod my head

we continued and stopped in front of a wall and that was actually an elevator he pressed the third floor and walked in but I was frozen to my spot, cause I had forgotten how babies where made and it just hit me

"will you come in, or should I carry you" he said in a very irritating tone

" no thanks I'm fine with the couch for today"

"get inside now" he says he's voice low and buried and a tone that screamed RUN

"NO" I said and turned to leave but he grabs me by my waist and pull me inside the elevator and quickly close it, I watch as the doors close, as I try to pull away from him "let go of me" I said pulling his hands, put it remains firm in my waist, not to tight, but also not so gentle

"stop screaming or else we might just start to full fill your end of the contract" he says and I go mute and still

"good girl" he said and I scoff inwardly.

the elevator ride was the longest 2 minutes of my life, cause his breath kept fanning my neck making a shiver to run down my spine, the smell of his cologne was entincing and his embrass was warm and cozy making me feel like a puddle of melted chocolate pudding, and he didn't let go even when I was still, the door opened, and I tried to walk away from him but his grip tightened so I stayed still, he walked out of the elevator, with me by his side, his arms around my waist, and stopped in front of a room making all the hair on my body stand, as silly thoughts filled my head

"You're going to sleep here tonight, after we officially get married, you will move to my room" he points to the door in front of my room, and I only nod my head in agreement, " Great good night" he said and turn around and I quickly entered the room, and closed the door firmly i sat down on the Queen sized bed as tried to catch my breath, I never felt so nervous before, I sat down for a while and tried to catch my breath before taking a quick shower, which I haven't been able to do in a while because of that greedy fatso, I hope his stupid motel burns to the ground, i take a quick shower and change into a pair of shorts and the same shirt I was wearing early, I lay on the bed and toss around for sometime before, finally sleep came, but it wasn't peaceful, it was a horror filled sleep

where a two year old girl, ran around the house, I stopped in front of my parents room, the door was opened a little bit, I peeped inside and saw my dad crying, I opened it slowly and moved inside, daddy didn't seem to notice my presence as he stood up and walked towards the drawer next to the bed he opened it and pulled out a gun and shot himself in the head.
