****NARRATED***
The pieces of the phone and cigarette butts filled the floor but Sam couldn't care less about it...he was mad, he was broken and most af all he was disappointed. As soon as he walked to a ward he saw a familiar figure, she had a bandage on her head, she was curled up like a ball sitting on chairs on a hallway with her small hands wrapped tightly to herself as if she was comforting herself. People walked up and down the hallway but she seemed to be miles away with her mind without noticing them. She just sat there quietly like an abandoned child.
He walked to her and asked.
" Are you done?"
His voice brought her back to senses...she just nodded her head.
There was an awkward silence between them.
" Shall I give you a ride?"
Tracy use to have her house with his father but now she doesn't have a family nor a place to stay. They chased her away like a dog. How should she reply to his question. She didn't tell him anything when he brought her here.
After waiting for her reply Sam didn't get any answer from her. He just assumed that she needed some time so he nodded to her and said
" Miss Brown, please take care of yourself, I am going now."
" Mr Smith!?".
She grabbed his hands with a panic in her eyes.
" I.... I can..I can merry you...are you...are you willing?"
Sam's handsome face turned gloomier. The cold aura around him made Tracy swallowed hard.
" I thought I made clear everything this morning. I remember myself telling you that I cannot give you anything except for money. What is this now? "
Is this woman crazy? How can she say something like this to a stranger. Sam thought to himself.
" The... phone call...I heard everything..I am pretty sure you need someone to marry you to save yourself to your parents".
Sam was stunned in such a way he laughed out loud. He couldn't believe his ears. He looked at her as if he was looking at the clowner on a comedy show. He raised his hand and grabbed her chin so that she can look at him.
" So are you threatening me now? "
He held her chin using a bit of strength but Tracy only frowned, she didn't cry out in pain.
" I'll marry you...you will help me take back my house and my company. How is that?"
She asked with expectation.
Tracy wanted to grab this golden opportunity to save herself from being homeless. The thing she needed the most now was a place to live, then she could think about how she would take back what belonged to her. She trusted her father all these years, she never asked about anything related to a company. Even after her father remarried that wicked woman. She was focusing on her books only. She devoted herself into studying and didn't know anyone on higher positions. She didn't know Sam before this day but she could tell from his clothing, the car he drove, his mannerism and the aura he carried that he was not simple man. He carried power and high status. In her life, she didn't take marriage lightly...meaning she would never marry anyone under circumstances but right now...what choice did she have. She knew that if she didn't marry him now, she was likely to sleep on the streets. How would she able to fight for Browns mansion and a company. How will she continue with her studies then?
" What makes you think I would agree to youru madness?"
He looked at her with the fierce eyes. She couldn't speak clearly because her chin was pinched.
" Can you let go of me first?"
She asked helplessly.
Sam looked at her face turning pale from pain and finally let go.
" MR Smith I don't know what can I use to convince you other than using myself. But if you're looking for an appropriate person to marry you , I am right infront of you. You will save yourself from going to arranged blind dates, you will save your face from your parents, I believe that I am the most suitable candidate."
Tracy said as she was rubbing her chin to easy the pain.
They were not friends nor relatives, other than becoming his wife she couldn't think of the reason for him to help her.
Sam looked at the little woman in front of him and was in deep thought.
" So?"
Tracy was dumbfoded but she noticed that Sam didn't refute, so she spoke boldy.
" Last ....night...you know ...erh I was my first time right? So there are no many good girls like me out there.
Sam was amused and he chuckled.
"Haah ".
" Do all the good girls asks strangers to marry them? Do they get drunk and sleep with strangers? Wooow that is rich coming from you!"
Tracy heart was filled with pain and humiliation.
" I have no choice, if I had a choice...."
She said with a helpless voice.
Sam looked at the little woman infront of him. Her face flushed red because of embarrassment. Her big watery eyes with filled with expectation, desperation and enxiety.
Remembering the phone call he received earlier Sam's heart wrenched in pain. Many years of persistence and patience has been nothing but a joke. What was the point of waiting anymore. Was there any hope for him and that damn woman? She chose someone else and stoop him up like a fool. On the otherside his parents were waiting for the good news from him. If he couldn't marry the one he loves, what difference could it make if he marries a stranger?
At some point, this woman in front of him gave him her virginity. She was pure. There would be nothing wrong If he could marry her...right!
" I can marry miss Tracy...and you can enjoy all the benefits that comes with a title of being Mrs Smith but....I may never be able to love you..."
Tracy's heart tightened when she thought of her ex . If he was able to throw a relationship of more than a decade, how could she expect something like love from a stranger?
" It could be fine by me if we take what we want. MR Smith, you need someone to marry ASAP, I need to take back what belongs to me."
