MAKING THE RIGHT DECISION
923 Words
KIARA'S POV
I do not see myself in a contract marriage with anyone. I want to get married for love, and meet a good-looking man who causes butterflies in my belly and leads me to the altar is my dream and not a contract marriage.
After my failed relationship in high school with the love of my life back then, Alexander, I have not been involved in any romantic relationship. Alexander broke my heart by cheating on me with another girl just because he couldn't wait for us to have s*x until we got married.
I have always fantasized about how my wedding night would be when I gave my long-kept treasure to my husband. I thought Alexander would be chaste and wait for me until that day, but he couldn't, he had to go look for another girl to satisfy his s****l urge. He claimed he loved me, but he had s*x with another girl and left me heartbroken.
Since then, I haven't been in a relationship with anybody. I guess I am still hurt by what he did to me.
I sat in my office thinking about my boss's proposal for a marriage contract.
How can I be married to my boss for just a year? Why does he want us to be married for a year? Why did he choose me? Are we going to have s*x in marriage?
I kept asking myself questions that could only be answered by my boss himself. The proposal keeps bothering me. I was sad, and I can’t pinpoint the cause of my sadness.
The thought of staying under the same roof and sleeping in the same bed with my boss makes me want to puke.
The orphanage home where I grew up needs to be rescued. Nanny is broke, she doesn't have money, and she will be sad if that aggressive and greedy landlord sends us away from the place. We don't have anywhere to go if this happens.
I have nothing in my savings. I give the home 80% of my monthly salary and use the remaining for my upkeep. I can't even buy expensive clothes. I always get cheap clothes with the money left for me, but I always make sure I am presentable with my outfits.
How do I come up with the money before the end of the 2 weeks? I have to assist Nanny to sort this out. She was there for me when my parents died. I feel this is the time to repay her for the good way she has treated me all these years.
I started crying, but crying would not solve the issue on the ground. I do not want to be my boss's contracted wife, so what will be the next alternative?
The next alternative is to sleep with Bruce in exchange for the money and I can never be someone's slut.
Bruce is the owner of the club Nancy works for as a waitress. Nancy told him about my problem, and he agreed to help with the condition of sleeping with him. Not just for a night of intense passion, but he will keep me as his lover for 2 years till he is tired of me.
That is so disgusting, just because he wants to be of help. To hell with him and his money. My body is far more precious to me than being a s*x toy for any man.
I have never been this indecisive before. I need to talk to someone about this, and the best person who will understand my plight at this point is Nancy. I have to reach out to her.
I picked up my phone and dialed Nancy's number. She picked on the first ring.
“Hi love, how are you doing,” she asked me.
Nancy has been my best friend since high school. She was there for me when Alexander broke my heart and, with her help, I got over him. She knows everything about me and I know everything about her too. Nancy is God's sent and I cherish our friendship.
“I am not fine, we need to talk,” I told her with urgency in my voice.
“Is it about the orphanage home?” she asked with a concerned tone.
Thank God for a friend like Nancy. She has always been sensitive to my problems.
“Yes it is,” I replied to her.
“I’m at the bar, you can come over.”
“Okay dear, see you soon,” I dropped the call and checked the time. It was almost my closing hour.
After my conversation with my boss today, he did not call me for any work, and I was glad we did not see each other till the end of the day.
I looked at his office door, which was directly opposite my office. He hasn't stepped out of his office since our conversation and all his appointments were canceled. I don't know what he might be thinking and I am curious to know.
With the huge amount of money he is offering me, he seems desperate to get a wife and I know other girls will take the offer. Best of luck to them, but as for me, I will not take his offer.
I stood up to tidy up my office and pack my things. I have to meet with Nancy and talk about what happened today.
And whatever decision I make, I hope it will be the right decision for me.
