Once shattered, Now bound to Mr stranger.

Chapter 5 - Bound by contract

Mia's Pov

In a jiffy ,the cops arrived. As they approached me, a man walked in elegantly. I don't know who he is but it seems the cops recognized him, they threw away a salute to him at once.

"Let her be," the man said sternly and faced me, without saying a word, he gestured for me to follow him.

I was amazed and followed the man.

The man led me to a Lamborghini Veneno and gestured for me to walk in," Thanks for helping me but I'm sorry, I don't know you,I can't just enter a stranger's car just because he saved me from the cops”

"I was called by my best friend to help you," he brought out his ID card and seeing his status, I exclaimed. He was the national chief of police," tell me, can someone like me hurt you?"

I nodded and walked inside his car.

While he was driving, I asked," where are we heading to?"

"You'll soon find out," he answered briefly.

"Who is this friend of yours, though?" I questioned.

"You'll soon find out," he repeated the same words he had said earlier.

'weird man' I mumbled and didn't say any more words until his car was parked by a tall building, he stepped down and came to open the door to the car for me.

Once I got down, I saw that we were before a courthouse, "what are we doing here?"

"To get a marriage certificate, you are getting married to my best friend today," he said with a stern look.

I was confused and pinched myself to know if I wasn't dreaming," I'm so confused right now. You helped me and brought me here to get married to ...your best friend,

how is this even possible?"

"Well, my best friend wanted to get married to you so he asked me to arrange the marriage with you. In case you don't know him, he is the man who lodged you at Room 406 at Brian Hotel after your divorce with your ex husband and came on your first night to have a taste of your lips," he explained.

"That man..." I stressed, I don't even know what he looks like, I don't know why he's been hiding from me ,"did you think it's reasonable for me to get married to someone I've never seen, I can't. Where is he by the way? Why is he sending you?”

"This best friend of mine is handsome and he's capable of making you happy, he's wealthy too. In case you are wondering how he looks, this best friend of mine is tall, he has an almond shaped blue eyes, he's got a long slippery nose and pink firm lips, he's got a a dimple and his cheek are soft, he's sexy too , to me, both of you deserves each other," he said.

I smirked," this looks funny to me, why can't I see him? "

"You'll see him at the right time," he answered.

"If he can't show himself then I can't get married to him," I answered.

"Remember you have just $3,000 left in your bank account, you have no assets and no job. Also, your ex husband has made it in such a way that other companies would not employ anyone with your name. But if you marry my best friend, he'll give you the world, he will even help you take revenge on that despicable ex husband who cheated and betrayed you," the man said.

I thought about it for a while, marrying someone I did not know has to be the weirdiest thing ever, "can I know your name at least?"

"Paul," he answered briefly,"can we go now?"

I let out a sigh and followed him to the court house, in a jiffy, a marriage certificate was brought before me.

"Sign here," Paul said.

It was then that I saw the name of the man I'm getting married to, he had already put his signature , his name is Clifford A Howard.

'Howard!' I mumbled under my breath and signed it nevertheless. It's either my life is about to take a good turn or a very crazy bad turn. The result of the decision I made today would come forth sooner, I will know then if I have made a very stupid decision or a great one.

"We are done, please follow me," Paul said and we both walked back to his car.

He drove me to my house and quickly came to open the door for me.

"This man that I just got married to... when will I get to see him?" I asked, I was dying to see him.

"Soon," he answered and got inside the car and drove away.

I stood still.

Wait! Did I just get married? I chuckled for many seconds in disbelief. Why is this Mr. Clifford A Howard hiding himself though? Maybe he's disabled or has a very terrible ugly face, the reason must be either of the two.
