Chapter 9

Analisa's POV I finally caught up with Declan as he made his way out of the party. I pulled him into my SUV and told my driver to take me to my penthouse. I sent a text to Ryan and my brother to meet us there ASAP. I then sent a message to my godparents to meet me in an hour. They both respond okay. Declan is breathing hard and crying. I pulled him into an embrace while saying softly, "Wipe your tears Declan. We have a lot to do. We cannot afford to show weakness." He wipes his tears and looks at me with pure love in his eyes. "What are you planning, my love?" I laughed "You will soon find out." We pulled up to the penthouse. I lean and whisper to the driver. "I need you to do a few things for me." He nods his head so I continue. "I need you to go to the airport and make sure to turn on the GPS when you get on the highway. Buy 1 ticket in cash under an alias, so wherever you choose, it must be overseas, and the flight must leave within the hour and by then I should have someone there that looks like Declan for you to give the ticket, so pretend to be discreet." He nods and smirks michieviously. I waved goodbye and sent a message. 'Hey, it is time for you to do your part. Enjoy your vacation.' I got a reply. 'Will do and I intend to have fun with this.' I laugh again and see the other guys have arrived. We all went up to the penthouse. As I closed the door behind us I said, "I want it to look like Declan had left, to grieve and deal with everything he just found out. I will then have my godfather come up with an agreement with my rules to go along with this new contract because, from what he has found out, they have not determined any rules yet for this contract and will be creating a separate agreement with rules attached. They are going to add them at the signing in 2 days. I am going to make sure Austin regrets his decision to force me into a marriage. We are set to marry next year, so we have a full year to get everything organized and prepared." I turned to Declan and my brother. "I hope you are both okay with spending time together because you are going to be seeing a lot of each other." My brother raised his eyebrows. "Well, I am all for it big sis." Declan looks nervously at him. I coaxed him at first but decided to mess with him. "Everything will be fine. Don't worry, my brother does not bite, well, unless you want him to." My brother and Ryan burst out laughing. "Sis, stop teasing him. He looks like he is going to faint." I rub Declans back before saying seriously. "You have nothing to worry about. I will be stopping by and my brother will never do anything that you do not verbally ask for. Plus, I am a phone call away and I can make it in less than 20 minutes to get here if you ever need anything." I stood up and told him he looked tired, so I showed him to the room he would be staying in and closed the door so he didn't hear what I said next. I walked back to my brother and Ryan. My brother looks at me questioningly. I spoke quietly, "Okay, I know you have questions. First, Nathaniel, be on your best behavior. Secondly, you need to make sure he stays away from all news outlets for the next few months." They look at me. "There is a reason I involved you two in my plans. You have roles to play." Ryan tilts his head. "Ryan, I am going to need you to play a huge role. I am going to need you to be my lover in front of Austin. I need him to catch us in intimate ways. I will give you a raise." He smirks seductively and says lowly "If you wanted to be intimate with me you do not need a ruse to do it, all you had to do was ask." I looked at my brother who was already looking at me and we both burst into a quiet laughter. I managed to calm myself down. "I mean it when I said in front of Austin. I do not want the public to catch us, only him." "How do you know he will not leak pictures or information about us?" "Because his father is a politician and image is everything to him. How embarrassing it would be for him if I cheated on him but stayed faithful to his cousin for years." My brother adds. "What would that say about Austin? Imagine all the rumors and gossip the paparazzi and reporters could come up with on the news that they would have a field day and it would mess up Austin's father's image as much as Austin's." Ryan has wide eyes as he says. "Remind me not to get on your bad side. You are both calculating and evil." Me and my brother scoff in sync and say in unison, "More like a spiteful opportunist." we both end up laughing because we haven't done that since we were children. My brother finally says, "They say great minds think alike. To bad we are not the nicest twins." "Pfft yeah, but there is a reason for that. I was forced into contracts and you were ignored once you were sent away and we both ended up in shitty situations time and time again." I look at the time and sigh. "I need to go and meet up with my godparents. I need to get my godfather to create the contractual agreement most beneficial to me with no loopholes. See you later and I will message you to keep you up to date." I made my way out of the penthouse and saw my driver was back, perfect. I get in and ask for an update which he gives me. I smile and ask for 2 more favors, which he eagerly agrees to. I go to my godparents' house. As we pulled up, I saw they were already waiting for me. I got out and rushed over to them. They pull me into a hug where I am in the middle. I love them so much. We all went inside. I talk to my godparents and tell them what I have planned. They agree to help me with anything I need. And I tell them I will pay them back and they tell me it is not necessary. What they don't know is that I plan on granting them the only wish they actually want and that is to be parents. I know they love me like I am their child, but I am not. Since my godmother is infertile due to an accident she had when she was in high school, I decided the best way to pay them back was to become their surrogate and let them have a child of their own. I will tell them soon, but not just yet. First I need to get my plan set into action. After leaving their house, I got a call from my mother. 'Hello mother, what can I do for you?' 'Where the hell did you go? This is your party and you have not been spotted for hours.' 'Oh mother, I was not feeling well so I slipped out. I am sure no one even noticed. I mean you are barely calling me now and the party should be almost over already.' 'You are so lucky that Austin covered for you. I only called because I wanted to check in on you myself.' 'Right anyway. Is that all you called me for then? If so, I will hang up first.' I hung up and I got an immediate angry text from my mother. 'You ungrateful child.' I rolled my eyes and huffed. My driver knows already to take me back to the mansion. I should have changed at the penthouse. I cannot wait to take this shitty uncomfortable contraption of a dress off. I finally made it to my room and managed to get the dress off. I can breathe normally without getting stabbed. I look in the mirror and see a bunch of scratches and red marks marring my skin. I went over to my vanity to find a soothing cream to put on after my shower. I take a cold shower, put the cream on and wear a matching bra and thong. I avoid putting additional clothes on. I turn off the light in my room and get into bed. I get a notification on my phone as I am about to close my eyes. I picked up my phone to check it and see it was a message from Austin. 'Hey beautiful, I never got to tell you how gorgeous you looked and how happy I am now that you are my future wife. I will do anything to make you happy.' I smirk while wondering how much longer he will be able to keep that same positive mentality. I hope he does not regret his words too soon. I print the text and add it to the file I am creating for him. I am so done with everyone else telling me how I should live my life. Time for me to live how I want.
