Prologue
Tessa’s POV
I knew I was going to regret this, I definitely would, but the language my body spoke was completely different from the words that came out of my mouth.
“Tessa you don't have to do this if you don't want to, you have every right to walk away now and we could both pretend this never happened”
My boss’s voice drew me back to reality.
I was seated in the office of the most eligible bachelor in the whole of Atlanta, and out of all the pretty women in the whole of this state, he choose me to be his wife??!!
A few months ago I had been in this exact same position, also holding a contract in hand but that was different, he had wanted me to be his submissive,
But now the contract has upgraded because his father wanted him to get married to a woman he distained so much, he was willing to fake a whole marriage for a year, in exchange, I get to forget about every financial problem I could ever think of.
“Sir…I called, it was the name he asked me to call him even in his ned I had to call him “Sir”
*Three months ago*
“Tessa Holins!”
My name was called, I was working a side job as an usher for a catering company, only three days after I had gotten the job at “ReignsFintech” one of the biggest tech companies in the United States. I decided to go for one last gig.
“You're in charge of table four, serve drinks first” the coordinator said to me
We were all on a straight line, side by side, while she gave us orders
I went to the drink stand taking two bottles of very expensive champagne I knew I may never have the chance to taste in this life time, putting it on a tray and i started to make my way to table four.
The tray felt heavy, or maybe it was just me. “ Careful don't spill anything”, the coordinator snapped as she rushed past me. She had finished assigning roles to everyone.
I sighed weakly, thank God this was my last day. I squeezed my way through the crowd, tray flat on my right palm,when suddenly I felt someone hit me from the side.
“Watch were you're going!!” A lady about my age called out angrily.
I froze stunned
“What? I stood dumfounded, she pushed me and has the nerve to say I should watch were I'm going. I signed under my breath and was about to turn around,
“God I hate rich peo_” before the sentence could come out completely, I bumped into a large figure, hitting my forehead on something strong, danggg I think I hit a pole
The tray fell out of my hand, drinks shattered everywhere. “Oh God, couldn't my last day in this job be anything less dramatic?”
I slowly opened my eyes and I immediately noticed, I didn't hit a pole…it was a man, a gorgeous man…with the perfect strong body. Then I looked up at the figure
Oh my God it was my boss, the CEO of ReignsFintech, what is he doing here!!?
“What did you say about rich people?”
His voice jolting me back to reality.
“Uh.. uhmm, nothing sir, I quickly looked down, then I noticed his shirt, the champagne was all over his tuxedo.
“Omg sir I'm so sorry” I said panicking, I quickly looked around and found a napkin on the nearest table.
I raised my hands to help fix the tuxedo a little bit, instantly he caught my hand mid air .
“Don't bother yourself there's no need, aren't you the girl I interviewed three days ago for the intern position? He let go of my hand, scrutinizing my face.
“Uhh_umm yes sir” I responded avoiding his eyes as I quickly brought my head down
“Then why are you here? doesn't my company pay enough?”
“Sir I promise, this is my last job here, I just wanted another source of income before I settled in well.
“What is your name miss? He asked
“Tessa, Tessa Holins sir,
By now everyone has gone back to their partying, no one really paid attention to us, well except the ladies who couldn't keep their eyes off my boss. Well you wouldn't blame them, this man is fineee
Like a Greek god, or a fallen angel…or demon…let's keep it as demon, cos this man was cold as ice, but his features were amazing. He looked unreal.. like something carved out of perfection.
“First thing tomorrow morning miss Tessa, I want you in my office by 9am” he took one last look at me before walking
past me with his bodyguards.
Omg…I'm definitely getting fired.
