1770 Words
Zoey was bewildered, “ An arranged marriage contract? “
“ Let me go straight to the point. My ex abandoned me at the altar and has a new relationship already, but I want her back. I decided to give her a taste of her own medicine by getting married. But she wouldn’t know that it is all fake. I guarantee that by the end of six months, I would have shown Rachel a lesson. “
“ You want me to be a perfect pawn for the game? “
“ all is fair in love and war, and besides it is not for free, I am paying you. I would give you all the luxury that you deserve. “
The amount of money mentioned got to zoey, 6 months was a short time to make 6 million dollars. With that money, she would be settled for good. There would be no more struggling to make ends met, or staying in her miserable apartment. Zoey was tempted to take the deal. But she needed time and space to think.
“ Can I use the bathroom please? “ She insisted.
“ Sure, it is by your left. “ He showed her to the bathroom.
When she was in, Raymond stood at a dark spot and watched her as she took off her clothes. He saw her curves, her sharp and curvy waists and her perky breast, she had a beautiful shape. Raymond was for a long time infatuated with zoey. He didn't expect that she would turn out to be that way. Her blonde hair delicately sat on her face, giving it a pale but beautiful look and her blue eyes complimented her allure. She was the perfect woman to be his wife, she may be the only person that can stand up to Rachel. Raymond went erected looking at Zoey's nakedness and there and then, he brewed a perfect idea.
While looking at her naked body as she bathed, Raymond accidentally kicked a laundry bucket and erupted a noise.
“ Who's there? “ Zoey called, trying to search for the source of the noise.
Raymond ran for his life, he dashed into his bedroom and escaped from the scene. When he noticed his hard erection, he was greatly ashamed of himself. Just then, zoey came out of the bathroom fully clothed and dressed, he was caught looking at his erection. The moment he saw her, he hid his gaze and covered his lower area with his shirt by expanding it.
“ Are you okay? “ She asked.
“ Um, “ Raymond drew further from her, “ Have you made your decision? “
“ I need some time to think about this. “ She replied.
“ Why? “
“ What do you mean by why? I have to be sure I want this. “
He nodded and chuckled, he was amazed at her brave tongue. “ Fine. But think about the money involved. I am a man of my word. “
“ I will. “ She said and made her way out of his house.
As she was in her car, she was surprisingly happy for the day. Not only did she made a whopping three thousand dollars, she was offered with a deal to hard to refuse. Raymond wanted her as a fake wife. At that point, Zoey didn't care that she was going to be used as a tool for revenge, she only cared about the money involved. She thought, all she had to do was to play the dutiful wife right? There was not much involved.
“ What if he wants to have s*x with you? “ Palmer, Zoey's friend asked as they discussed about the marriage deal.
“ He didn't talk about s*x. “
“ What if it later turns out to be part of the deal, would you accept? “
Zoey remembered the man's physique. Raymond was an exceptionally handsome man. He was tall, had brown hair and possessed a chilling aura. He was good-looking, she thought. And as a plus, he was filthy rich. Zoey couldn't place an answer to the question.
“ You are desperate. You earn 15 dollars and you stay in a useless house too small for even one person. Think about this with your brains, if he demands for s*x, give it to him. “
Zoey nodded, “ Afterall, it is just s*x right? “
“ Yes friend. But I do have one more thing for you to do. “ Palmer drew closer to her.
“ He is not a normal man, he has all the support in the world. I hear that his father has ties with the mafia. “
“ That is just some rumor. “
“ Even so, he is well equipped. And so you need a side plan, just in case he doesn't pay you your money. “
Zoey was following Palmer, “ I understand, so what do I do? “
“ Film him in a tight position, when he is saying something illegal. Afterall, the whole fake marraige thing is. Don't let him see you. “ Palmed relayed.
“ I will. “ Zoey agreed.
*********************
She had returned Roy's car as she was told to. When she did, he only gave her 100 dollars.
“ Roy what is this? “ She was fumed, “ I got you 3 thousand dollars, you can't give me a hundred. “
“ I'm sorry Z, a deal is a deal. “
“ But roy! I demand to be given at least a thousand dollars. Thats a fair amount. You have no idea what I had to do with the customer, I had to drag his ass from a bar fight! “
“ I don't give a s**t. “ Roy entered his car and zoomed off.
Zoey was angry and sad at the same time, Roy had just fooled her. She vowed to be never do any job for him again. Now more than ever she was thinking about Raymond's plan and it seemed good to take the deal.
*****************
Raymond had texted Zoey to meet him at a nearby restaurant, where they would talk about the terms for the marraige deal. When he saw her approaching him from afar, all he could remember was her naked body. He had mesmerized about it all week. He couldn't wait to have her in his bed.
“ Welcome, “ he told her.
“ I accept the deal. “ She immediately said as she sat down.
“ My Goodness, relax, will you? For a deal like that, we need to get it all on paper. “ he presented to her a perfectly typed sheet.
Zoey read through the paper and like Palmer had initially stated, there was s*x involved. She made no mention of it and requested for a pen to add her signature. Meanwhile, unbeknownst to him, she had the entire meeting on a voice recording.
“ Are you sure? “ Raymond asked.
“ I am. “
“ I would do to you, what a husband would his wife. The only difference is that after 6 months, we path ways. “
“ And you give me my 6 million dollars? “
“ I will, but you have to be submissive to me and all my demands. “
Zoey scoffed, “ I will. “
“ Is this all understood? “
“ it is. “ She replied.
“ Now that we have eachother's numbers i can reach you through with it. I have to think of a perfect wedding celebration to spite her. “
“ Rachel am I right? “
“ Yes. “
“ She should be proud, you're doing all this for her. “
“ Just for agreeing… “ Raymond handed her an envelope of cash.
Zoey had to contain her excitement. “ Is this necessary? “
“ Please, you will be my fake wife soon, it is. “
“ Thank you. “
Just then, Raymond had a call. “ Excuse me, I have to take this. “ He went into the male's restroom.
After thinking about what Palmer told her about getting a recording, Zoey followed him.
As she heard him talk on the phone, she instantly began to video record him this time.
“ It is not about joining the legacy father, it is about diablo's death. Something doesn't seem right about his death to me and that is all. I told you that I am not about to allow Saturn to turn into your workhouse. If you want to speak about diablo though, let me know. “ And with that, the call ended.
While on her way home, zoey pondered about the call she had on camera and what it meant. She recalled a diablo death and his refusal to join the legacy. But what could it all mean? Was Palmer right and her soon to be husband had ties with the mafia? If so, what did it mean for her situation with him. Regardless, she was desperate to a begin with the marriage and didn't want anything to soil her plans.
“ You lucky girl! “ Palmer raised the envelope high in the air in happy tones. “ Your fake husband is a giver, and he is rich! “ she laughed.
“ You’re right, I can't wait to get it all started. “
“ Its about 8 thousand dollars in here, woah! Would you get a new apartment? “
“ I can't do that just yet, it is too early. I don't want to start what I cannot finish. “
“ Fine, but we'll split it. I take 4000 and you take 4000. “ Palmer insisted.
“ No way Palmer, we can't go equally. “
Palmer instantly frowned.
“ I have to get food supplies, pay for the water and gas. Don't forget i have to save. “
“ You’re about to marry your millionaire husband. “
“ I don't get paid until 6 months, i can't rely on that. “
“ So, how much do I get? “ Palmer strongly asked.
“ You get 3000 dollars and I get the rest. “
“ Thats too small. “ Palmer said.
“ I'm sorry, that's all I can offer right now. “
Palmer angrily took her share and stormed out. Zoey followed her from behind, “ Palmer wait, I'm sorry. “ but Palmer had already disappeared from sight.
Before Zoey locked her doors to sleep for the night, she caught sight of what appeared to be a red car parked far ahead from her house. But before she could move close to identify the car, it zoomed off. She thought nothing of it.
