TAMING THE TYCOON

CHAPTER 6: CONTRACTED MARRIAGE

Yiwen, after being checked by the doctor, sighs in relief after hearing that the state of her health has improved. Glancing through the interior design of the room, her eyes falls on the clock and her eyes spreads wide open in shock...it's past 9pm and she doesn't plan to spend the night here anymore coupled with the fact that she has a lot on her sleeves and the most important, is her mom's bills.

Just then, a knock comes on the door.

"It's opened," Yiwen utters as she leaves the window and walks toward the door.

"Ma'am, young master would like to see you. Please follow me, "a woman different from the one that brought her food this evening says to her with expectant gaze in her eyes.

"Oh okay, please wait outside the door, I'll come join you in a minute," Yiwen replies as she watches the woman leaves. Trying to nurture her nervousness, she walks towards the mirror beside the bed and glares at herself in it.

She's wearing a big silk green top and a black short.

Adjusting her hair, she breathes in and out and puts a little pink lipstick. She then puts the slippers a maid had brought for her. She then mutters courage, opens the door and slowly follows the woman down the stairs.

She keeps on following and following the woman until the latter stops at a door that looks quite different from other doors.

"Why is my heart beating so fast?"Yiwen wonders as she places her right hand on her chest. Just then, the maid knocks on the door lightly.

"Let her in," they both hear, and then, Yiwen's heartbeat triples.

"Ma'am please go in," the maid utters, and finally, Yiwen gets in.

For about ten seconds after she gets in, Yiwen forgets to breathe or move as she glances around the big spacious room, trying to find a figure.

"Come over," she suddenly hears and jerks back to reality as her eyes fall on him on the bed with his laptop on his lap while resting his head tirelessly on the wall of the bed.

Taking some steps towards him, she glares at him in surprise. In amusement, she totally forgets her worry and nervousness as she stares at this dainty god who is also staring at her with a frown on his face.... leaving that out of her worries, she observes that even his eyes are sparkling and shining bright like the reflection of the yellow sun. On him is a white Mandarin hoodie top and pants. He appears to be, without exaggeration, the most handsome and good-looking man she has ever seen.

"Are you just going to stand there staring at me?"Alexander finally asks, bringing her back to reality with embarrassment written all over her face.

"I'm sorry, I.."Yiwen utters but not knowing what else to say kept mute.

"Come here," Alexander orders not too calmly and not too harshly with his eyes now on his system

Following his hand, she needs no one to tell her that he's asking her to come over to sit on his bed.

Taking a deep breath, she walks over to his side and takes her seat.

Without taking his eyes off his system, "Why were you caught sleeping on the street? Did you forget to pay your rent?"Alexander asks, which is quite funny, but Yiwen doesn't find it as one.

"Is that what you think?"She asks in disbelief.

"Not like i could think of any other reason because I wonder what a mature woman would be doing on the road at night, not to talk of even sleeping there. Don't you fear being r***d or even kidn*pped?"Alexander asks, this time starting at her, and it's only now he discovers that she's already in tears.

"I don't know how to pet a grown woman like you but I'm sorry if I spoke the truth out of turn", Alexander utters sarcastically as he thinks she's crying as a result of what he said.

Laughing lightly, "Who told you your so-called truth is the reason I'm crying?"Yiwen asks with a smile as Alexander stares at her in confusion.

"Then why then are you crying?"he manages to ask.

"Now you care?"Yiwen asks as she takes a break to take a good laugh.

"Believe me, I don't. Just that, who knows, I might be your one-time destiny helper, "Alexander mutters with a little smile as he finds this woman amusing.

It's after he smiles that he discovers and quickly gathers himself as his cold self returns.

"I know about your mom," he blurts out to Yiwen's uttermost shock.

"H...how?"Yiwen asks while stammering in surprise.

"I had my men investigate you," Alexander replies truthfully.

"But.... but why?"Yiwen asks in shock.

"I needed your weakest point to be able to strike a deal with you," Alexander utters harshly, causing Yiwen to frown in confusion.

"I can settle that while you settle mine. It'll be a win-win situation, "Alexander mutters with a smile that isn't a smile.

"I'm not sleeping with you," Yiwen says in disgust, making Alexander laugh out loud in surprise and amazing.

"Me.. sleep with you?"Alexander says and laughs again before pausing to continue.

"Do you know the gravity of your words. You aren't even worth sleeping with my driver, talk more of my guards or even me!"He utters, and that seems to Yiwen as a slap on her face.

"And who the damn hell do you think you are?"Yiwen yells in anger as she bounces up from the bed in anger.

"I don't have much time to speak to you as you can see," Alexander mutters as he turns his gaze towards a particular direction. Following his gaze, she finds an alarm clock on his table beside his bed.

"Did he really set a timer to speak with me?"Yiwen wonders in shock as she glares at the decreasing clock time that shows 3 minutes left.

"I see," she mumbles while nodding her head slightly and then turns to glare at the cold and arrogant man on the bed.

"Like I say before, I can settle the bills. I just got a message from your doctor this morning via your phone that your mom is dying and for your own good, it's best to pay the money before tomorrow. I can take back my offer if you aren't interested, "Alexander utters as he drops her phone on hus bed and turns his gaze back to his laptop.

"And what offer is that?"Yiwen manages to ask while trying to curtail her anger.

"It's here, go through it, and if you're okay with it, go ahead and sign it," Alexander says and drops some documents on the bed.

"You really came prepared," Yiwen mutters sarcastically as she picks up the documents and flings it open.

"Trust me, I'm always prepared," Alexander says with a teasing and taunting smile.

"You've got to be kidding me. What do you mean by contracted marriage. I can't even date you not to talk of marrying you, "Yiwen yells in anger.

"I'm not forcing you, and at the same time, I'm not going to lose a dime. You're the one who needs help here. You're the one whose mother is in the hospital. You're the one who needs fame to survive in this world called 'entertainment industry'. It's not like I denied your freedom or something. I can give this to someone else if you're not interested. It's not a do or die affair. If you're interested in it, then sign it, then if not leave, "Alexander yells back in anger.

"I can't even believe I said too many words," he grumbles.
