Just A Deal

1218 Words
Yes, after the high school prom, I told Sofia I wanted to buy two ice creams and asked her to meet me in the parking lot. But I didn't expect that I would be pulled into a dark street by a man. At first, I was scared and wanted to scream for help, but soon I realized it was him. He was drunk, but he recognized me. He told me he loved me and wanted me. Then I couldn't control myself and walked with him to the end of the alley. But after hearing Sofia and my grandpa’s voice, I instantly came to my senses, and then I jumped off of him and ran away. "Sweet heart, say you want me." Suddenly, he gently bit my earlobe, pulling me back from my memories. When I came to reality, I realized my towel had slipped off at some point. Startled, I hurriedly pushed him away, picked up my towel and rewrapped it around my body, then I angrily told him, "No, I don't want you." Lewis was surprised by what I said, and I could see the lust rolling in his eyes. He gave me a deep look, then he suddenly stood up and walked toward the bathroom. Three minutes later, I heard the sound of water ringing in the bathroom, and his ragged panting. I was embarrassed, but I wasn't afraid of him. I knew he never forced any woman, except Lucy. About an hour later, he stepped out of the bathroom, by which time I had changed my clothes. Just now, his assistant Benny brought two sets of clean clothes here. One of them is women's clothing, and I knew it was for me. Benny seemed very curious when he saw me, with surprise written all over his eyes, but he didn't ask me any questions. Lewis smiled when he saw what I was wearing, and then he glanced at the other set of men's clothing, but he had no intention of changing. He sat on the sofa wrapped in a towel and started chatting with me. "I want to marry you." "What?!" "I said, I want to marry you. I know your current situation. Leonardo wants to force you to reveal where Sofia is hiding, and for that, he's used all sorts of means against the Smith Trust. I don't know if you genuinely don't know where Sofia is, or if you just don't want to tell him. Whatever, I don't care about it. I just hope Sofia will never appear again. Every time she appears, Leonardo becomes insane. Your situation right now is very difficult. No one in Seattle would dare defy Leonardo's orders to help you, but I dare, and I have the ability. As long as you marry me, I will pay for your grandfather's medical expenses, and I will also help Smith Trust unfreeze all the frozen assets. How about it? This deal is very suitable for you, isn't it?" After hearing his proposal, I was surprised. I stared at him seriously for a while, and asked, "What do you want from me?" "I don't want anything from you. I just need a wife. And you are the most suitable candidate. I am very satisfied with you. So my requirement is just to marry me. If you agree, I will take you to meet my grandmother tomorrow. My parents are deceased, and my grandmother is my only relative in this world. Thus, I need her to attend our wedding." "Lewis, are you crazy? Do you even know who I am?" "Yes, I know, Lisa. You are Mr. Smith's only granddaughter, the sole heir of the Smith Trust, the former Miss USA, and Sofia's best friend. But none of these identities matter, and I don't care. In the future, you will have a new identity; Lewis Evans' wife. This identity will make you no longer fear Leonardo, and you won't have to worry about money anymore." I looked at Lewis seriously. I knew he was telling the truth. He is the CEO of Evans Mobile, wealthier than Leonardo. And he is Leonardo and Lucy's best friend. If I marry him, Leonardo will definitely not trouble me or my grandfather anymore. But... I don't want to. I hate him. I hate everything he did to me. I hate he forgot all about our past. I hate he wants to marry me but he is still in love with Lucy. I don't need to marry him and I have other ways to get money to save my grandfather. When Colin Davis got engaged to me, he gave me his family's heirloom necklace. This necklace is very valuable, and Jessica loves it. I can sell this necklace back to them. Lewis's POV Lisa Smith is a strange woman. I first saw her at Leonardo's wedding, where she was Sofia's bridesmaid. At that time, she was twenty-three years old and had just gotten engaged to Colin Davis. The moment I saw her, I was attracted to her. She always made me feel familiar, as if I had seen her somewhere before. But no matter how much I thought about it, I couldn't figure out any connection between us. Eventually, I realized that her demeanor was very similar to Lucy's, and since I deeply loved Lucy, I thought that might be why she attracted me. But she seemed to dislike me, always avoiding me. I was passionately pursuing Lucy at the time, and given the bad relationship between Lucy and Sofia, with Lisa being Sofia's best friend, it was understandable that she didn't like me. Today Lucy rejected my fifth proposal and told me Leonardo had agreed to be her boyfriend. I had been pursuing Lucy for five years, proposing to her five times, and today I finally decided to give up on her. As my car drove past Avi Avenue, I saw Lisa standing at the door of the Davis house seeking help. I knew what had happened to her today. Leonardo reveals to Joyce Davis that the Smith Trust is about to go bankrupt, so she was abandoned by Colin Davis. I have always refrained from interfering in Leonardo's revenge against the Brown family, even though this revenge has extended from the Brown family to the innocent Smith family. But at that moment, seeing Lisa's dejected figure, my heart suddenly ached. I don't know why I felt sorry for her. I parked my car under a big tree and decided to observe her closely. Since it was dark, neither of them noticed me. Then I heard all that they talked. And soon I realized that whenever I saw her, I couldn't help but want to care for her. It's strange. Besides Lucy, I've never had this kind of feeling for any other woman. Since I am a wife, a well-born and well-educated wife, a good idea suddenly popped into my head. Lisa meets all my requirements, and she even looks a bit like Lucy. Besides, I was particularly fascinated by her body. Thus, why not marry Lisa? But I didn't expect her to reject me and refused to tell me the reason. This made me even more curious about her. What reason could make her refuse my help even after being caught in Leonardo's crazy revenge?"
