POSSESSIVE BILLIONAIRE

3

Anna was losing her mind.

she was going to marry someone she did not know just to rescue her father's drowning business.

she had argued with her father throughout the drive home.

She could not believe he would agree to something like that. He kept telling her that they would give terms that would be in her favour in the contract. He tried his best to convince her, but she would not hear it.

" You don't know the Grey family like I do. if John Gray wants something, John Gray is going to get what he wants."

" is that a threat?"

" no my dear, this is for your safety. just try the best you can to convince his son to be good . you don't even have to do anything. Just drag it out for a year and be on your way"

Anna's mother was not pleased with the idea as well but she decided to look at the bright side as her husband suggested.

EMMET GRAY

' you will be getting married next week' he heard his father say.

He turned to look at him quizzically and when he saw no signs of it being a joke he burst out laughing.

He and his father always had their fall outs. what was this sudden talk about marriage in the middle of dinner.

He had been out with his friends at the golf club when his father called him and literally yelled at him to come home for dinner or he was cancelling all his credit cards and freezing his assets.

That was not the first time some thing like that had happened. And his father did not make empty threats,that he was sure of.

He felt his anger rise as his father barked at him on the phone.

Now at the dinner table he suddenly starts this talk about marriage. He had never mentioned it before so why now and what changed.

" we are trying to close a merger deal and the contract will be sealed with a one year marriage. You just have to stay married for a year. That's it, after that the marriage can be annulled if you like"

Emmet dropped his cutlery noisily and looked at his father directly

" I have no interest in getting married. I don't even have anyone I want to marry right now"

" you don't, but I do' his father said.

"her name is Anna Steward. very lovely and responsible girl, can't say the same for you"

'wait, are you being serious" he asked squinting his eyes at his father.

'you know I never joke"

" They will be here tomorrow for a proper introduction. Get yourself ready and don't embarass me" he warned sternly.

Emmet left the table before his father could finish what he was saying.

As he lay on his bed that night, he thought about Anna Steward and how he was going to make her regret being a pawn in his father's games.
