The billionaire accidental wife

Lisa Carter had never believed on that one word in Particular called blind dates. she believed in hard work, staying true to promises,and whatever it took to keep the people they loved, which was called true love. love however was a luxury that she couldn't afford or dream of. Especially not tonight. she stood outside the entrance of silver hotel.staring through the thickglass doors at the elegant restaurant beyond them. chandeliers gilttered above yellow coated tables. men in very expensive luxury suits sipping and chatting over expensive wine while woman in luxury tailored dress chatting behind manicured hands. Lisa looked down on herself. a simple pink dress and black heels she had practically owned for 2 years a handbag with fallen and cracked clasp which made her look completely out of place. she was lost in thoughts when her phone vibrated. she pulled it out of her bag. "mom": don't worry about me sweetheart.go home. Lisa throat tightened she immediately typed back. "Lisa":I'm fine I'll see you tomorrow.try to sleep. she stared at the message for long before sending it. her face turned paled immediately knowing nothing was fine. her mother had been lying in the hospital for nearly three weeks and the doctors had already given her a number "ten million dollars"meanwhile she didn't even have ten thousand she had practically spent the last week's making call to friends,loved one , charity organizations,she sold all her valuable and it still wasn't enough. And tonight she was here because her best friend had insisted that she needed something to clear her head or even a distraction "it just dinner,"Emily had said making Lisa laugh. Lisa wasnt looking for someone nice. she was looking for ten million dollars for hospital bills. and unfortunately men didn't usually hand over that amount of money over a mere blind date. Lisa sighed heavily and stepped inside the hotel. She met the hostess and smiled, the hostess asked "good evening, do you have a reservation?" the hostess said smiling. "yes. under Lisa Carter." the hostess checked the table "Table sixteen. He's already waiting." Lisa smiled and nodded. her stomach tightened. she walked toward the table, repeating Emily's instructions in her head. smile,be nice, be polite, don't mention mom, and most importantly don't mention money. easy as abc" Emily said. but as soon as Lisa reached table sixteen, the man wasn't the chubby old guy she was thinking she would meet, the awkward stranger was surprisingly...... Stunning. that was the only word her tried self could find in her head. he appeared to be in his early thirties, around thirty-one. he was tall, had broad shoulders, black hair styled exceptionally perfect, his grey suit looks like it was tailored just for him alone. he wasn't smiling. he was typing something on his phone, his gaze fixed to it. and his expression cold and focused like a domineering CEO that he is. Lisa stopped. the man looked up. their eyes met. for a spilt second neither of them spoke. Then his gaze moved gently scanning her from head to toe like he already knew her. "Lisa Carter?" she nodded slowly. "yes". he placed his phone on the table. "sit." Lisa face tightened. Excuse me? she looked around. maybe she'd misunderstood. "Are you...Are you Daniel." "No." "then I think there been a mistake." "I guess so" he gestureed for her to sit down on the chair opposite him. "sit down anyway". Lisa hesitated wanting to walk away but she sat down anyway. the man leaned back. "My name is Felix black". Lisa eyebrows rise in shock. she knew that name. everyone knew that name. Felix black was the youngest billionaire in the country. CEO of goldenstone international. he owned companies.shipping business. hotels. technology and many more which Lisa couldn't even remember. his photograph was everywhere. people describe him as ruthless. the billionaire king. unreachable billionaire. Lisa stared at him in shock. "what are you doing here?" " meeting you" "but you're not my blind date in anyway". " No" "then why are you here" "because you're blind date was supposed to be my younger brother." Lisa blinked confused "your brother?" "he couldn't make it here." "that doesn't still explain why you're here" Felix called his assistant who was standing beside him and gestured for him to place the black folder on the table. Lisa stared at it. "what is these". "a contract." Lisa looked even more confused making her eyebrows to join. " a contract." "I need a wife." Lisa almost Burst out laughing. but his expression didn't change "you're serious." "yes." then I think you need another date or maybe different restaurant." "I need a wife urgently." "why if I may ask." "because I have a daughter." Lisa expression changeed instantly. "you have a daughter." "she is five and the half." there was something different in the tone of his voice when he mentioned her . not warmth but something close "my mom died a year ago," he continued."and since then my daughter has been distant. she needs stability,a family." Lisa gaze felled on the folder. "and you think marrying a stranger will change her. "I think a stable home will. "that isn't the answer to my question. his jaw tightened. "my family has rule arrangement. when my daughter turns six and I don't have a partner yet.control of several companies assets will go to the board ." "you're getting married because of a rule" "among other reasons" "this is absurd " "probably " Lisa pushed the folder to him. "then you have the wrong person" "I don't think so" " you don't even know me" "I know enough " what do you mean" I know you haven't taken a vacation in six years,I know you work two odd jobs,i know you have been borrowing money to pay your mom medical bills. Lisa froze. "how do you have so many information about me and even my mom". " I know u need ten million dollars for your mom". the restaurant seemed to have disappear the music faded and there was complete silence. "who are you". "I already told you". "no. who really are you." "a man who can solve all your problem by just lifting his fingers." "you can get ten million dollars." "for my mother medical bills." "yes." "how ". "get married to me." Lisa laughed silently. "you're kidding right." "I don't joke when it come to business." "this isn't business sir." "it is to me ma." Lisa smiled a little. he opened the folder.handed it over to her. Lisa read it thoroughly not wanting to missa word. "after the one year". "we divorce." she looked at him in a suspicious facial expression. "that it". "one year, you live with me, attend what need to be attended,and maintain the appearance of a loving wife. "and your daughter." "you'll spend time with her." "wow unbelievable". I'll pay you ten million dollars". the amount echoed in her head money for treatment money for medication. money for surgery. ten million meant her mom still had a chance to live. Lisa swallowed. "what if I say no". "nothing happens." "then yes" "I'll transfer the first payment tomorrow ". her eye widened. "five million. the remaining five will be transferred when the marriage ends." Lisa looked away cause she hated these. she hated the fact that stranger knew how desperate she was." "are there any rules." three". "first don't poke nose in my business." "as if I wanted to". he glared at her "second you don't discuss our arrangement with anyone." "fine.not even my bestie." "not even your brain should know that if you have one." she glared at him he looked at her head to toe she looked at him head to toe "the third one". "don't you dared even dream about falling in love with me." "mtweeeeeeeew". she picked up the pen and signed. Lisa Carter.
