Arrange Marriage To A Billionaire

A little lift to the bedroom.

Outside the Mckendrick's house, Landon opened the door of his white Ferrari and waited for me. His Ferrari was breathtakingly beautiful. I slided inside the Ferrari, into the comfortable car seat and he closed the door like a gentleman. My back relaxed as I leaned on the seat. Landon walked round the car, got inside and started the engine. The car began moving smoothly on the road. There was a comfortable but weird silence between us until Landon broke it.

"Have you taken a decision about our contract ?" asked Landon, one hand on the wheel and one the gear lever. The muscles in his arms were contracting, therefore stretching deliciously the fabric of his light blue shirt and I resisted the urge to touch those toned muscles.

I drew a deep and silent breath and turned to the window on my side. " Yes...." I paused before I continued. "I'm not going to marry you."

"I suggest you to think again about your decision. You still have much time left." Landon said without sparing me a glance. His eyes were fixed on the road. "And I did tell about having no other choice."

" I'm not going to marry you. And why would I want to marry you ? Don't you see we're poles apart ? We hardly know each other and to say we even like each other will be too far-fetched. We don't share any interest. We're completely different people from different worlds."

Why didn't he understand that marriage was not a play ? He was using marriage, such a sacred and beautiful thing to accomplish his desires and betray his family. His intentions might not be wrong but the way he has chosen to accomplish it, was certainly wrong.

"Love might not be important for you, Landon. For me, it's fundamental in any relationship. Love and complete trust over each other are the pillar of relationships. Without it, there are no relationships."

"What can I say then if you believe so much in the so-called fairy tales and love, fall in love with me." suggested Landon sarcastically.

"What !" I didn't this expect as an answer.

"No, never do that mistake. Love, as you say must be important for you only, Evelyn. The truth is that 'love' is just a respectable word created by man for expressing lust for someone." Landon took the next turn on the road.

"I'm not giving you any choice about this contract Evelyn. You have to be my wife for at least one whole year. This marriage contract is not like any other marriage contract which will be terminated in six months. Neither I'm stupid nor is my father to believe a six months relationship and hand over the whole empire to me as he had promised to. He might look innocent but he is very cunning. He would want to know if our relation is genuine or not. And disappointing him is the last thing I want to do right now." Landon continued. "And earlier I told my mom about not having any illusions about our wedding so that they have less doubt over the genuineness of our marriage because I acted otherwise, that is if I accepted everything they say and begin to act like I'm in love with you, they'll have more doubts.

"If you're willing so much to get married, then find yourself another bride. You can get any girl you want. Why me ?" I looked at him and he was still not looking in my direction. " Why are you forcing me and yourself in a marriage that would meaningless, loveless and boring ?"

"Why should I look for another girl when I have already one in my view. That is you by the way. You were the one who started all these problems, now it's time for the consequences Evelyn. And as for the last part you said, our marriage would not be meaningless as it would mean for me to have the success that I have craved and worked for years and as for you, you'll get my name, a higher position in the society and most importantly my money. What else do you want ?" His eyes were still fix on the road and my heart swelled at how lowly he thought of me. "But for the 'loveless ' part, you were right, there won't be any type of love. Our relationship will be platonic and if you ever get bored, I'm sure we'll find many interesting things to do." His voice was firm and determine but with a hint of humor for the last part.

"And you think after hearing all these nonsense you have just said about this contract of yours I will happily agree to this contract. Just tell me, what can I do for you to believe that I have not conspired anything against you. I don't want your money, Landon. It was just coincidence that I was there in Kansas when your parents came at my parents' place for Thanksgiving. They saw me there and when they talked to me, I replied them in the same way I would have replied anyone in their place. I didn't even try to impress them. I was completely normal. I don't know why they thought that I am perfect for you and are so adamant about it. But then, of course why would you believe me ? You're just too arrogant, ruthless and selfish to believe anything I say." I was very angry. My head was exploding. I wanted to grip Landon's shoulders and shake him until he believed my innocence. I wanted to slap him his beautiful face and pull his hair. Why did I accept the preposition of meeting him in the first place ? Why did I visit my parents on Thanksgiving ? Why did I meet Landon's parents ?

"It's good that you're showing how much you already love me in advance. But you will have to restrict yourself from doing that when we're in public and don't look so stricken. You already know how stubborn I can be__"

"Oh, don't worry about that. I already got the memo about your stubbornness." I interrupted him with a sarcastic remark.

"And I was saying that I always get what I want." He continued. I rolled my eyes, not wanting to argue with him anymore. He was the strangest, most mysterious, most annoying person I have ever met in my life till now and yet I was attracted to him. I knew unlike poles attract but I did not want to be attracted to him. He was just too much for me. I couldn't even think straight when he was around me.

And what about that strange s****l hunger I feel for him ? I guess that is because it has been so long since I had s*x. I don't even remember when I had s*x the last time. Or maybe it might be my hormones that making me feel like a hormone-crazed sixteen year old teenager rather than a twenty three years old adult.

I was feeling very tired. Too tired to even think and I leaned again on the seat which was way too comfortable and closed my eyes to relax for sometime until I got home. But soon sleep came to claim me.

Landon's P.O.V

Evelyn seemed to be asleep. She must had a hard time arguing with me. We had already reached her the building of her apartment and I didn't know how to wake her up. I tried a few times to shake her but she won't budge. She was in deep slumber.

So I got out of the car, leaving Evelyn inside my car and walked my way through the building only to see the receptionist sleeping on her desk. I knocked on her desk loudly and she jumped out of her seat, looking stunned.

"Er........ sorry sir. Can I help you ?" She asked nervously, stretching her skirt.

"Yes, I need the keys to Miss Evelyn Nolan's apartment. She's asleep in my car and I don't want to disturb her. I hope you understand." She looked like a deer caught in headlights. She looked nothing like Evelyn. Evelyn was much more beautiful, attractive, hotter and sexier.

"Of course I understand sir. Here it is. Her apartment is on the fourth floor." She handed me the keys and I exited the building to get Evelyn. She was still asleep. I opened the door, removed her seat belt and slide my hands around her waist and underneath her knees. Evelyn groaned when I picked her up but soon she stopped when her head came in contact with my shoulder. She put her hands around my neck and nuzzled her face in my neck. I felt a sudden strong urge to protect her. To always keep her tightly in my arms. But I chased the desire away.

I walked inside the building to see the receptionist asleep again. When I went to take the elevators, a board of DO NOT USE THE ELEVATORS was placed near it. So I took the staircase and if Evelyn was not in my arms I would have run on the stairs to reach my destination.

To be honest, Evelyn was not heavy at all and soon I reached the fourth floor without tiring myself much. I opened the door of Evelyn's apartment holding Evelyn tightly so that she didn't fall. She appeared quite happy when I held her tight as she tightened her arms around my neck. I entered her apartment and successfully I found a room full of family picture. I was sure this room was Evelyn's. I placed her gently on her bed and she rolled on the other side of the bed in sleep. I lifted the sheets to cover her. She still looked as sexy and attractive even in sleep and the urge to slid through the sheets with her was getting stronger.

Before I did anything wrong, I made my way to the door and left the apartment as quick as possible.
