The Billionaire’s Forced wife

Chapter 2

I was surprised, confused and startled at the same time. I was trying to make sense out of the words that were coming out of his mouth.

Marriage? I had no plans of getting married not now maybe next year and when I do, I was planning on getting married to the love of my life, to a man that loved me and cherished me.

I want to have a happy home, a home full of love and happiness like my late parents.

I had always admired how my parents loved each other to the extent that they died together, that was the kind of marriage I wanted to be in, not contract marriage, it had never been on my plans.

Hell no if he hadn't mentioned it, I wouldn't have imagined it ever till the day I died.

I never wanted to be in a contract marriage besides I had read books about them and the marriage was never a pleasant one to be in, no love, nothing.

The thought of it was horrible more especially, since I didn't even know the man.

Why me?was the next question that came to my mind. Of course, the boss has so many women at his beck and call, he was always on the news with different women, models, actresses, career women, and women with class and power.

So why me? I had never seen my boss up close in person ever since I started working at the knight’s cooperation so definately he had never seen me except maybe the day I made the presentation that brought about my promotion.

Besides that, we had never crossed paths so why me?

"Yes, Scarlet you heard me well, you would get married to me in two weeks' time, I've already drafted out the contract. Here is your copy." He said handing me a piece of paper. "The details of the contract are stated there everything you need to know. All you would do right now is sign them but we have to wait for my lawyer and our witnesses to get here"

"I-I-i don't understand, why me? God! why a contract marriage to begin with, and you are sounding like I don't have a choice in this." I said frustrated.

"Cause you don't, I am not giving you an option. Read how much you would be receiving in and even after the marriage till you get married to someone else and in case you have a baby in the process the baby is mine. You would give me custody of the child but you would still be able to visit him or her. What else, you would be receiving allowances every month, and also you would bear my family name, attend our family gatherings and you would always be with me whenever I make a public appearance. What else? That should be all, and lease I forget it's a two years contract."

"What if I say no?"

"Why would you? What sensible person would do that" he asked raising a brow at me.

"A person who has a right to do whatever she pleases. I work for you but that doesn't mean you can throw a contract marriage on me without my consent." I said trying to control my anger.

"Scarlet Valeria Griffin you would marry me in two weeks' time and I am not giving you an option Scarlet,I need this and you would agree to this, and this discussion is over." I stood up and left the office with the paper in my hands.

I walked past Arya who gave me a questioning look but I ignored her.

I wasn't interested in having any conversation right now. I knew Arya would be mad but I would handle that later.

I pressed the button of the elevator to my office floor.

I sighed as I didn't know how or what to make of the situation.

when the elevator opened in my floor, I half ran to my office, shut the door of my office and exhaled the breath I had been holding.

I sat on my chair and wore my glasses so I could read the contract properly, after going through it, I wondered, why a contract marriage?

cause it wasn't stated in the contract I just- I dropped the paper on my desk, took off my glasses and rested on the chair which made it start spinning.

The sound of my office phone brought me back from my train of thoughts, startling me in the process.

"Hello, scarlet Griffin on the line. How may I help you." I said into the phone.

"Scarlet, someone would be bringing you a dress right about now. I need you to get into them. We are going on a date for the world but I’m reality we would be signing the contract in the presence of my lawyer, your aunt Victoria and others." And the phone went dead.

I was speechless and before I could even think, there was a knock on my office door. which I went to answer and behold it was a delivery boy with a big box in his hands.

I asked to help him with the box but he refuses and went straight to drop it on the sofa.

"From mister Noah ma'am." the boy said and left the office.

I opened the box and was greeted with a beautiful skirt and an armless turtle neck tank top. The top was golden and the skirt was a rose gold color with matching stilitoes and purse.

I am sure it cost a fortune.

I went into the toilet of my office to quickly pull myself in order then put on the dress. I did a little make up and packed my hair in a bun.

Looking at myself one more time in the Mirrow I stepped out.

"It took you hours." Noah said sitting in my chair, startling me which made me drop my purse accidentally.

"You startled me! you don't do that!" I said after recollecting myself and picking the purse off the floor.

"I only gave you a dress, I didn't say you should turn into a queen." Noah said as he ran his fingers in his hair.

With the way he was looking at me, you could see the lust in his eyes, but after a while it disappeared and he went back to his normal self.

"You're ready?" He asked raising a brow at me.

"Yeah, sure." I said blushing a little.

We stepped out of the office and immediately Noah took my hands in his, "We need to sell the story.”

"I haven't agreed to anything yet sir." I said slightly pissed.

"Remember I didn't ask? you would do it" he whispered into my ears.

When we got to the lobby the eyes of everyone was on us and some looked surprised, some angry, and some just overlooked.

I was so embarrassed at the situation. How was I even going to explain this to my friends, how was I going to explain this to anyone when I myself don’t know what's happening either or why it's happening.

Noah on the other hand wasn't bothered, in fact he walked with all authority not minding or even bothering to look at the people's reactions.

When we got to the car, he opened the door for me and I got in. when he entered the car the driver started the car and off they went to a destination only he and Noah knew.

The car ride was nothing relaxing, I was tensed throughout. I couldn't even relax one bit, Noah on the other hand was making several calls and speaking in different languages I couldn't understand.

How do I get out of this??

Were My thought all through the ride.
