A DEAL WITH THE BOSSY BILLIONAIRE

Loveless vow

SIA'S POV

l lay down in wait, wondering if I wasn't placing my life in the hands of another Nolan, yet it was the only way of taking revenge on my parents and sister. Aside from that, I had nowhere to go, my account is a joint account with Nolan in full control of it, and he blocked me from accessing it.

I have to start all over, I can't go back to my hell home, although I was adopted yet I expected much from my adoptees. It always seems as if anytime I am to earn or eat any fruit of my labor Sienna comes in and takes it all leaving only crumbs for me to eat. But this time is different, Rowan is mine and mine alone, I don't care if it is a contract marriage but I am going to do all within my power to make in fall in love with me and be my shield and warrior against my family.

Knock came on my ward door, It is Killian

"Hi, where is Rowan?"

"I am taking you to him" He replied.

Shock, but also assuming he was nearby, out of curiosity I asked again " Where is Rowan?"

" He is nearby. If you are done with asking me the whereabouts of my boss. Please kindly put on this dress as you will be meeting with the lawyer" He replied.

"Fine" I chuckled. Surprised as to how fast this was going, even to fact that he asked me to wear a wedding gown, without a real proper wedding. It felt lame to me, I refused and wore my previous clothes, washed off the blood stain on it and I was good to go.

"I am afraid ma, I must insist you put on the wedding dress," Killian said.

"Killian is that your name?"

"Yes, it is"

"See, I made a deal to boss around after signing the contract but I haven't the contract yet and there is no way in hell you are going to tell me what to wear on my wedding day. So if your boss has a problem we can call off the contract. I only have a few minutes of sanity, so let me enjoy it before I welcome the slave world. So is he in or out?"

"Fine, we are due to meeting time. Let's go" Killian replied.

I walked sluggishly with Killian with my Gucci bag, and my only pretty shoe as the weight of the drug fed into the system made me feel unease but I pretended to be fine. Aside from that waking up earlier hasn't been a strong suit for me especially when it involves getting married without your dream marriage.

"Killian, Can I ask you a question" I said.

"Ma, I'm afraid my priority right now is to get you safe to the venue of your met, since we are 15 minutes late"

"Why is that?"

"Because you too upon yourself to check upon every patient here, as if you are their doctor"

"I know, and I am sorry but just have cold feet doing this"

We arrived at the car park, Killian opened the back door, I entered and he shut the door while he went into the driver's seat and drove off. Killian refused to converse with me, pissed with my action of not keeping to time, I mean who is he? A robot. Although it was my fault I pretended to greet the patient just to see if the contract marriage was worth it.

I have never seen any stable marriage since I was four, I was adopted ten times until the Collins took me in. None of the families that adopted me had a nice relationship, it was more of marriage to boost wealth, escape reality, and s*x.

A contract marriage is the only one I have experienced watching movies or Asian dramas, I never wished for that, as some end great and others in love. Yet I am unsure what this might lead to for me.

"We have arrived ma" Killian announced as he parked the car.

"Where are we?"

"This is Cardel Hotel, one of Mr. Cardel's assets"

Killian opened the backdoor and walked out like a wealthy heiress of a conglomerate, beholding the beauty of Cardel Hotel, various thoughts ran through my mind especially s*x with Rowan.

"Can you follow me?" Killian said, escorting me to the manager's office, where I meant Rowan in his Tuxedo suit and his fancy lawyers. I was feeling tense but sat comfortably.

Greg faced me " Hi, I am Greg from Liam and Associates. Here is the contract for your one-month marriage"

"Oh! beat me, So fast. So am I to read through or just sign away" I asked Greg.

"Not at all, you can read it through but I am afraid I don't have time for your fact-checking" Rowan replied furious with us not arriving in time.

I ignore Rowan's furious face, although terrified I could see desperation in his eyes, as much as I wish for a real wedding, I can't but play along with this scam.

I signed the papers requesting a pay of 35 million dollars, and without negotiating Rowan accepted, even in addition to giving me a job and a place to live for one month.

"I believe that is all, so legally I pronounce you husband and wife," Greg said.

Rowan was happy, escorted the Lawyer, and left. Leaving Killian to take me to my new home. I was much of expecting a kiss at least, the nightmare of this contract marriage seemed to be the doom of my life.

Killian took me to Rowan's second home where I would stay playing pretend wife and if an unexpected visit were to happen Rowan would arrive to play his role as pretend husband. I will be lonely for one month, not one I dreamt of, although, I am quite aware that this marriage is void of emotion, but wish true love could spring off.

After a brief tour around the manor, I was served breakfast, brunch, lunch, and dinner with a brief call that came from Killian, not Rowan. Checking on my well-being, it felt let a month coming void of joy.
