Unexpected Love

chapter 2

Brasley' s Pov

" What did you say?"

I turned around to look at the girl who had just agreed to marry me. How can she think of getting married to me when she doesn't even know a thing about me?

" You need a wife, don't you? And it seems like your date didn't show up, so here I am. "

She asked, sniffling. Her crying left her nose running, and she looked like a clown.

" Yes I am, but what makes you worthy to marry me?"

I answered , surprised that i had agreed to what she had asked, but I also thought that this could be a solution I had been looking for.

" I don't think I am worthy, but I feel like I can help you since you seem to be desperate and my situation doesn't differ from yours. Alright then, here I am. I was dumped on my wedding day. "I don't want to waste time with all the details, but I see you need a wife and I could be your wife," she said.

I looked at her carefully. She looked sane even after her ruined make-up, which made her look like a clown on her face. I placed a call on my phone, calling my assistant, Jason.

" I would sort myself out, don't bother looking for her, but do collect my money from her company and deal with them accordingly. "

I answered as soon as he picked up his phone and disconnected the call as soon as i finished talking, putting my phone in the pocket.

" As long as you are sure about this, then let's go get married. I cannot be picky at this point as i am very desperate. I said and she nodded.

" You need to fix yourself first though, you won't be going in there looking like that. "

I spoke, pointing at her face.

" Give me a minute to sort myself out, I will meet you inside." She responded, turning on her heels and going to the nearest bathroom to clean the mess on her face. She took less time than I had thought, she had no make-up on her face and she looked very beautiful. They started to walk towards the courtroom, and they sat down facing the judge.

" Do you have witnesses?"

The judge asked me if I was very influential, and the judge knew me and we were able to receive a private room.

" There has to be witnesses, therefore I shall bring in two people to be your witnesses." I nodded my head as the judge proceeded to call in two people, a male and a female. The process was shorter as I didn't want to waste any more time.

" I now pronounce you husband and wife"

Said the judge as I stood up and motioned her to do the same.

" Hold on to this" I said, giving her the certificate and she looked at it as if she couldn't believe that she was actually married.

" Let's go" I said, walking towards the parking lot.

" Go where?" she asked, catching up in my steps.

"We just got married. It is wise to go introduce you to my grandfather. He is the one who made me go through this ordeal as he always wanted me to settle down, and he has given me until today to have a wife. So my dear wife, you are to meet him ."

I stopped in front of my Mercedes and looked at her, she just looked at me as if I had grown two heads. I just got inside the car and motioned her to get in.

" Get in", I said to her, and she slowly got in and put the seatbelt on. I am used to driving in silence, so I didn't bother starting any conversation, but I knew I had to say something just to give her an insight into what was happening.

" You might be wondering why I was forced to marry today. You see, my grandfather is sick, therefore he wanted me to get married in order to be able to take control of the family business. He is now in a hospital, and he thinks that we have been dating for a year and that's why we got married."

" Okay " that was her reply which made me look at her for a bit. Her response surprised me. She should have asked too many questions, but yet she chose to be quiet.

" What do you do?"

" I was an assistant at Brown Production, but now I'm still looking for a job, but don't worry, I have landed a few interviews for this week."

" You don't know me", I asked her, being curious if she worked at brown production, which meant she could have seen me, hence she just volunteered to marry me.

" Should I know you? "Even if I did know you, I wouldn't have recognized you. "I don't think I've ever seen you anywhere though. "I barely make enough money to take care of myself, which means I won't know much about my environment." She confessed.

It was the first time that I met a girl that didn't recognize me to be honest, and it was refreshing and felt good. It made me a bit curious.

" I work for the Red ink industry"

" Which one? " She asked happily.

" All of them" I said, and was surprised when she laughed, and I just stared at her as she did so. There was something very different about her, she had this aura that was surrounding her that I couldn't even explain.

" shall we?"

I asked as I took off my seatbelt and opened the door, as she did the same.

" Here is the ring and I hope it fits." I pulled out two rings from my pocket, placing one in her hand. The rings were simple and not so over the top. She took it and put it on her finger and, surprisingly, it fit perfectly as if it was made for her and I liked seeing it on her finger.

When we arrived at the hospital ward where my grandfather was kept, he jumped at me, barking with questions. This man never stops, I tell you.

" What the hell took you so long to come? I've been waiting for you all day. Do you like making me suffer?"

" There was a little issue at the courthouse", I replied.

" Wait what? And who is this?? He was pointing at Bonny.

" This is my wife Bonny" I said, taking Bonny's hand and putting her forward.

" Good afternoon Mr Sullivan," Bonny said, giving a slight bow.

" Good afternoon my dear, please call me Brandon. "I'm not that old, you know," he said, smiling, and I had a feeling that he liked her. I just sat by the corner while the two of them had a conversation as if I was not there, and looking at Bonny she seemed natural, as if they had known each other for a long time. I was taken out of my thoughts when I heard my grandfather talking.

" Please take care of my grandson. He is not easy to get along with, and he is always grumpy, so bear with him."

" Don't worry Brandon, I will surely take care of him", her response shocked both of us, but we quickly hid it .

" Let me allow the newlyweds to get back to their business and Brasley, you have done well. "I like her a lot," he said teasingly, and a blush crept on her face.

" I will come say hello sometimes, grandfather, "Bonny said with a smile while standing up.

" I would definitely love that, my dear"

We left the room after many pleasantries and goodbyes.

" I believe you know, since we are now married, you will be living with me in my house."

I spoke as I entered the gate and parked the car. She just nodded and did not say anything else. She is always like this. With her grandfather, she talked a lot and now that it is just the two of us, she is mute.

" Welcome home Mr Sullivan "

Two maids and Mrs Mable came to the living room. I just nodded at their greetings .

" This is Mrs Mable, and she is the head of the housekeepers. Anything you need should be addressed to her."

" And this is my wife, and she should be respected as much as you respect me ". They all looked shocked as they knew that I wasn't ready to settle down nor even interested in women as they hadn't seen me with a woman before. I didn't care about what they thought at that moment and no one dared to ask me silly questions.
