Landon's P.O.V
"I wanted to tell you that your dream is going to come true." I announced sarcastically.
"I don't understand what you're talking about." Evelyn says, looking confused.
" Well, my father left me with no choice other than to get married to you. He threatened me that if I don't accept this f*****g proposal, he would take his entire business from me and that's all because of you !" I gritted my teeth. After talking to my so-called parents, I actually realized that the root of all these problems was Evelyn. These models can go to any extent for money. Money and a high position in the society were all what they wanted and were interested in.
However, this one seemed to be the most shrewd one that I've ever met. It was remarkable how she had got my parents under her control. Normally they hated models. Well, mostly the ones I dated. They didn't even try to communicate with them. It was like they avoided them. Either Evelyn is not at fault and it's a coincidence or it's all part of her plan.
Of course it was all part of her plan. First she impressed my parents and now she was trying to impress me. But there was nothing to worry cause' even I knew how to play this kind of game. She was still an amateur and I was a professional. She will neither refuse this proposal nor leave me so easily even if I tell her to do so. So I will play with her so that she will get to know that she should not have played with fire. I will make her regret it.
"How can it be because of me ? In case you have forgotten, it was your parents who brought this alliance up, not me. I've done nothing." Evelyn defended herself instead of listening to her I was watching her pink and luscious lips pronouncing every word, every syllable. Just by watching her lips, the bulge in pants had grown more rapidly. She had such a great effect on me.
"Oh come on. Don't try to be so innocent. Don't pretend as if you know nothing when you're the one who started all this problems. First you impress everyone then you put this marriage proposal in their mind and finally, it's me. You are trying your best to allure me just like you did to the others. You know what, you're just a gold - digger and a social climber. Yes, that's what you are Miss Supermodel. You have absolutely no self - respect. You're best at only one thing and that is to throw yourself on rich businessmen. And that is exactly what you are doing right now." I spat my anger through the words at her. I was both angry and disappointed. I should have started up a new business on my own. After working so hard in my father's empire, I was only one step away from having success that I have craved for and I couldn't let this little woman take it all from me and I will do everything it takes to stop her.
"Get out of my apartment Mr. Mckendrick. Get out, right now. I don't want to see your face again. Just go to hell ! " Evelyn hissed, tears rolling on her cheeks. She was clearly hurt by my words which acted as thorns on her. "Get out !" She tried to push me but I groped her hands and pinned her against the wall near the door.
She tried to move but I tightened my grip. She stared at me and I couldn't resist but put our foreheads together. "Let go of me." Evelyn hissed again, biting back her anger. To be honest, I felt a bit guilty after accusing her all these things. But even though those words prick like needles, those words were true words. About models. About her. About her character.
"Let go of me Mr Mckendrick, please." Evelyn seemed to be completely calmed now but tears were still rolling down her cheeks. Truth was so bitter to her. I released her and backward a little bit to retrieve some papers from my coat. She stared at me with her tears stained cheeks. Her fists were clenched.
"Here, take this." I handed her the papers. "What's this?" She asked confusingly, still angry.
"It's the papers of our contract marriage. Everything is written in simple English so that you can understand all the terms and conditions very well concerning our marriage. I'll give you one day to think. Only you and me know about this contract marriage. No one else should know about this. This contract will be terminated on the day of our first wedding anniversary and this very day you'll have to leave my house forever. And before I forget, you have only two choices." I said before turning towards the door to leave." Either you say yes or you say yes. You won't have the chance to say no and if you ever try to refuse then your family in Kansas will have to bear consequences, especially your father." I threatened, leaving Evelyn speechless behind me.

Evelyn's P.O.V
"Oh, come on. Don't try to be so innocent. Don't pretend as if you know nothing when you're the one who started all this mess. First you impressed everyone then you put this marriage in their mind and finally, it's me. You are trying your best to allure just like you did to others. You know what, you're just a gold- digger and a social climber. Yes, that's what you are. You have absolutely no self - respect. You're best at only one thing and that is to throw yourself on rich businessmen. And that is exactly what you are doing right now."
How can a man be so judge mental, so rude and arrogant? Who gave him the right to throw those insults at me like that? What does he know about me? Nothing. A gold - digger, a social climber, is that is what he thinks about me ? What he sees me like?
He doesn't give a damn if his words were hurting me like shards of a broken glass. Till now no one has talked like that. No one has insulted me like that, not even my worst rivals. My eyes were stung and I didn't want to cry in front of him. This would have only show him that I'm weak, which I'm not.
But all my efforts went in vain. I've failed miserably as always. I might be one of the best models but I'm also one of the worst actress ever. I cried. I cried before him. Right now, I'm standing where Landon had left me with the papers - the contract papers. Still shocked. Still trying to understand what just had happened.
