Three months bride

CHAPTER FOUR

They both stared at theirselves with mixed emotions. He was angry, disappointed, sad and weak and she looked no better.

“Why didn’t you stop me?!” He asked harshly. Running his hands roughly in his hair.

“I tried but you were so strong and drunk that I could barely push you off” She replied.

“If this is a scheme to get money off of me then I promise you it won’t work. You cheap little thing! Is this how you go around sleeping with all your previous bosses just to get some money off of them? Oh my God. Not me thinking you were the perfect secretary. But no, you turned out to be a slut just like the rest” He yelled at her harshly. He doesn’t know if he was angry at himself or her but his heart was racing. This wasn’t the plan when he decided to get wasted.

Sleeping with his new secretary. What the hell was she even doing in a place like this if not stalking him.

He wanted to ask her what she was doing here when he received a head twisting slap from her.

“I’ve never neither have I ever sold my body to any man. You’ve been mean to me since the very first day you set your eyes on me but I kept quiet because I needed the money. I worked on all your documents and made them perfect but you still reprimanded me for it. Now you took advantage of me in your drunken state. I said nothing now you’re accusing me of wanting your money! Yes!! I want your money but not in the way you think. I want your money in form of a salary because I’m going to work for it. But after this I don’t think I want to work with you anymore. Jerk!” She cried as she said those words. She was beyond hurt. She felt used and useless.

Tim was speechless. He never thought his little act in the office got to her this much. He was only trying to be save.

But this doesn’t give her the right to slap him. No one slaps him not even his aunt.

“Then what are doing in a club if not looking for rich men to milk money from” He spat. He wasn’t going to let her have the last laugh.

“I work here” She replied in between sobs.

His throat went instantly dry immediately. Now he felt bad. He guess she must have been one of the waitress he had seen walking around. She must have came to him to acquire what he’d like to have and in his drunken state he had mistaken her for his girlfriend.

But he’s not going to admit his mistakes to her. In fact he’s going to punish her for raising her hand on him.

“And how does that give you the right to slap me?!” His tone went from harsh to deadly. He knew he has an effect on people and that’s what he’s going to do. He’s going to tower over her with that.

He saw how scared she became when he came closer to her with his cold eyes melting all her courage. She went down on her kneels immediately and started begging.

“No amount of plea will save you from me this time around. Unless…” Maybe is the lords doing or the devil’s he doesn’t care. But an idea popped inside his head. If she can cooperate he might just be able to escape his misery and also make his aunt happy.

“Do you’ve a boyfriend?” He asked. Not like he cared he just wanted to know.

“No I don’t” She replied with her gaze kissing the floor as usual.

“Well. I’ve a deal for you that might actually help your pitiful life” He chuckled as he said that.

She looked up and stared at him with her big black doll like eyes filled with confusion.

“I’m currently in a pickle which I owe you no explanation. You can still be my secretary I’m not going to fire you for your stupidity today” He watched her roll her eyes secretly.

He needs no soothsayer to tell him that what he’s saying makes no sense considering the fact he was the one who was drunk and had a one night stand with her and he’s also the one blaming her for it. Of course she has the right to roll her eyes at him.

“But, you’re going to be my secretary and wife” He dropped the bombshell.

“What?! I’m not getting married to you!” She exclaimed giving him the dirty eyes.

“I’m not asking I’m telling. If you don’t want me to prevent you from getting any job in this whole city then you’d be my wife. Not like I’ve an interest in a dirty lowlife like you. Let just say difficult problems calls for drastic solutions. And you don’t have to worry. We’d only be married for three months and that’s it. After that I pay you off. You’d no longer be my secretary nor my wife. You’d just be someone I used to know.

He watched her as she pondered over what she said. She looked like she liked the offer but on the other hand she kept stealing glances at him with a scared look.

“Why pick me? Why not some other fancy classy girls out there? I bet you’d not have to pay them a dime because they’d do it with an heartbeat” She said giving him a suspicious look.

“I know very well that I’m quite good looking and any girl would love to have me to herself that’s why I want you to be the one. You don’t seem to fancy me like other girls do and I know after the three months is over you won’t hesitate to leave but other girls would find a way to pin me down and I don’t want that.

“What if I say no?

“That’s it. You can’t!
