The CEO’s contract wife

OUR FIRST DATE

Since I agreed to my father’s wish of marrying Mr Ronaldo in order to save his company, he has been over the moon. He hasn’t stopped thanking me.

He informed me that Mr Ronaldo would be coming over to our house to pick me up because he wants to take me on a date where we would talk and get to know more about each other which was thoughtful of him. Maybe he’s not as bad as people paint him to be.

Mr Ronaldo was going to come over and pick me up around 5. So I started getting ready around 3, so as to make a good impression on our first date. My father literally begged me,almost going on his knees and pleading with me to behave myself when I’m with Mr Ronaldo because the future of his company depends on the outcome of our date tonight.

I walked to my wardrobe to pick up the new dress my dad got me specifically for this occasion.

Since he married my stepmom, he hardly paid any attention to me. So my stepmom took the opportunity to make my life miserable. I hardly got new clothes because she was in charge of our monthly shopping allowance.She would buy all the nice things for herself and her daughter and leave me out of their shopping spree. I got one or two dresses only on special occasions and my sister would give me her old clothes that were out of season. At first, I felt bad about it and complained to my dad but he hardly does anything about it, so I got used to wearing old stuffs left to me by my stepsister.

I took out the dress from my wardrobe and placed it on my bed. Then, I went to take a shower and put some lotion on my body. I got out of the bathroom and wore the dress. It was a bright red dinner dress that had a high slit that went all the way to my thigh. ‘Is my dad sending me out to be a wife or an escort?’ I giggled as I thought of how desperate my father was. I applied red lipstick,wore my clear silver heels and was ready for my date with Mr Ronaldo.

It didn’t take long before one of our maids came to inform me that Mr Ronaldo had arrived and was waiting for me in the living room. I looked at myself one last time on our full length mirror to make sure I looked beautiful before I left my room.

As I was descending from the stairs, I could see the tall figure of a man wearing a black suit but I didn’t get a glimpse of his face until I stepped into the living room. I looked at him from head to toe. His hair was so dark as night , his brown eyes looked so beautiful that I shuttered when his gaze fell on me, I also noticed his lips, it looked so kissable. He introduced himself to me,took my hands and led me out of the house and into a black limousine.

The limousine drove to a private restaurant that was mostly frequented by high class and important people including the president of our country. When we entered into the restaurant, I was shocked to see that it was empty which was weird because this restaurant was the hottest in town right now and high class people and billionaires would pay any amount to get a reservation.

Mr Ronaldo led me to a table where he pulled a chair for me to sit. My curiosity was killing me inside so i just blurted out the question in my mind.

“Why is the hottest restaurant in town empty,Mr Ronaldo?”. He gave me a soft smile before responding. “ That is because I’m on a date with the future mother of my kids in a building that’s mine”. This man must be really powerful to own this building and if it’s truly his, it means he has many other powerful structures like this one around the country.I know he’s a rich CEO but I had no idea he was more powerful than I thought. But then we have more pressing issues here than business talks,which would shape my future with this man sitting with me. “About that Mr Ronaldo, I thought my dad already discussed that with you, I can’t have children with you without us getting married”. He looked at me coldly and replied with a stern voice. “ Miss. . . What’s your name again?”. “Mary” i replied.

“Miss Mary, I don’t think you have any say in whatever i decide to do with you because as far as I’m concerned, it’s your family that needs my help and not the other way around. So i suggest you keep your little opinion to yourself, understood?”.

Now I see why he’s so handsome but still single. Those rumors about him were actually true, I can’t believe i actually wanted to give him a benefit of doubt. He’s so rude and condescending. I wanted to put him in his place but then, I remembered that the future of my father’s company depended on the outcome of our date. So I had no choice but to beg him . “Mr Ronaldo please I beg you to at least get married to me first before we start making babies”. “And why do you want that so badly, isn’t being my baby mama enough for you?,you know you’re not worthy of bearing my last name”. He said with a smirk plastered on his face.

“ Because I..i..I promised my mum i won’t have children out of wedlock, she always wanted me to fall inlove with a good man , get married and build a beautiful family with him, that was her dying wish. I’m only doing this because of my father, I don’t want him to loose his company, he worked too hard for it”. I explained with a teary eyes. He looked at me and smirked . “ you’re an interesting one, I’ll think about it”. He replied.

We didn’t speak to each other till we finished our food. He then took me home and left without saying a word. I walked into the house and heard someone talk behind me “You’re not even his type, I wonder what he sees in a trash like you”.

It was obviously Cassandra, I didn’t know what she was on about but I was really tired to reply her so I just ignored her and made my way to my room.I crashed on my bed and slept off.
