Pregnancy And Contract Marriage.
Jade's POV.
Weeks went by and yet, I couldn't figure out who the man was. He left earlier before I could wake up.
Things would have been easier for me to forget if this result hadn't come out, who would believe that I was pregnant for a stranger? My head kept banging at the thought and I hated myself for some moments. I couldn't recognise his face nor did I know any information about him. I'm just left clueless!
"Hey! Are you thinking of the direction to take when I send you out?"
The voice is audible for me to know who just said it. I quickly get back to work, juggling the thought of him off my mind.
"This is a dry cleaning firm! You are supposed to be smart with everything! The moment we start losing customers, your salary will be deducted!" Madam Yoyo threatened for the umpteen time. It sounds hype whenever she says she runs a dry cleaning firm and how she classifies some customers as VIPs.
Suddenly, a tick scent filled the air as someone stepped in. I was too busy with work to notice who just entered but I could feel the tense Moment.
I continued operating the machine without noticing the situation until Madam Yoyo screamed behind me.
"Jade!!!!!!!!"
And when I looked up, my breath stocked in my throat as I couldn't take my eyes off. He is so handsome that he looks so radiant in his white shirt, the fact that he rolled the sleeve sent some crazy feelings to my body and I couldn't help my dropped jaw.
"Excuse me?" When he tapped his finger across my face, I realized that he already made his request.
"Yes... em...em.. I got it" I shuttered.
"Do you even know what I require?"
For a dead moment, his statement resounded in my brain while having familiarity feelings with it. The voice seems so familiar and I tried to figure it out but it's futile.
"Argh!!" I felt a heavy punch on my neck, it was from Madam Yoyo.
With an angry and fiery face, she growled. "Follow that customer and apologize or you lose your job! Go now!!!"
I didn't know how my legs started moving but I found myself in front of the man's car. Taking the last courage in me, I knock on the door mirror and he opened up.
"Sir, I'm sorry about what happened earlier. I wasn't like.."
He interrupts instantly. "Get in"
Like a stray cat, I gently enter his car. Immediately the door closed, and he pulled me close and captured my lips all of a sudden. I wanted to push him away but the sense of familiarity hit me again and I kept wanting more.
However, I tried to break from his hold but his grip is stronger than mine. After unproductive effort, I respond to his kiss slowly and smoothly until he breaks the kiss.
"I have an offer. Marry me and I will pay Five Million Dollars every month. The deal is just One year"
I gulped hard, trying to reset my memory to check if I was still dreaming. However, when I came back around, it was the same.
But then, a thought struck me hard and I opened my mouth but he beat me to it.
“I've been trying to look for ever since that night. I'm sorry that I had to leave earlier without any proper introduction. My name is Jackson Abel" He extended his hand for a shake.
I remained stunned as I tried to believe what was happening but the matter seemed real and I had to go with it. "My name is Jade Brown, it's good to see you again" I kept my tone formal, couldn't let him know about the pregnancy yet.
Silence emerges and he speaks in a low voice. "He loses something"
Before I could ask for what he meant, he threw another question at me. "So Jade, what do you think about marrying me for just one year? Trust me, everything is based on contract" He proposed.
I wanted to revenge on John so badly and I could only do it with money. This is a life-changing offer of five million dollars and at the end of one year, I will be sixty million dollars rich.
It seems my mom is helping from heaven.
I cleared my throat and spoke boldly. "Why do you want to have a contract marriage with me?"
He smiled and responded. "What happened that night wasn't my intention, I was being drugged. All I need to do is to present someone as my spouse and everything will be fine after one year" He explained and I felt more attached to his story.
"Why are you drugged?"
Again, he smiled and replied. "As of today, you are no longer working here"
Before I could think, the car started moving and I was a bit frightened. "Where are you taking me to? My phone and my clothes are still inside!" I shouted but he smiled and dialed a number on his phone.
"Contact Brian and tell him to get me the latest version of iPhone and Samsung instantly. Tell Laura to contact the mall and rent it out for a whole day, my wife is coming!" With that, he disconnected the call.
Turning sharply to me, he passes a shirt to me. "Can you put this on for a while? We are going to the civil affairs for our certificate and you can't take picture in that dress"
I felt a bit embarrassed but I took it. "I never agreed to your proposal, so why are you going to civil affairs?"
He chuckled, focusing more on the road.
"There is no need to argue with that. You are fit for the offer and you can't resist it either!"
Thirty minutes later, we stopped in front of the building known for marriage affairs. I bolted out of the car in his shirt and we walked into the building.
Immediately they saw him, they bowed and started processing our marriage certificate. Even though I knew everything was in a hurry, I still wanted to tell him about my divo
rce.
Then a loud voice rang out. "Congratulations, you are now Mr and Mrs Jackson”
