“Wife?” the woman asked in shock. She looked at me once more, only this time with care and solitude.
“She’s quite pretty than the last girl you ran into in the club; wasn’t her name Bianca or was it No.?” Nicholas hurriedly cut in, stopping the man from saying anything.
“Noelle, yes, that darling that tried to steal my luxuries. It’s not her,” Nicholas responded with his eyebrows furrowed upwards and his eyes set steady on the dark man.
“She’s quite beautiful. I thought you’d keep her as your assistant, but it seems you’ve taken responsibility to be a man and stop those nightclub girls from walking in here and smelling like puke,” the blonde woman explained. She didn’t seem to understand his body language, which was shouting “Don’t tell.”.
“Wow, so you’re a playboy,” I teased, but with a stern face. I couldn’t let them know it was a pretense, so I had to seem upset.
“It’s okay, darling. He stopped a few years back after a girl crushed his heart,” the blonde lady spoke up once more.
The urge to laugh suddenly filled me up; I had to hold it in. It was getting more and more intense; I had to let it out.
“Heartbroken CEO,” I whispered in his ears as I silently laughed at him.
“That’s not funny, Grandma. You know that was supposed to be a secret,” his tone low but appealing to my ears.
“If she’s your wife, she should know all this. I mean, didn’t you tell her that you had a thing for girls with no curves in the past?” his grandmother let out once more, and this time his face was much more hilarious.
“Tell her Julius, your grandson is hiding things from his wife,” she added.
“Just as she said, Damsel. Nicholas here still snuggles his teddy bear like a little kid. Maybe he can snuggle you to get off that habit,” his grandfather’s voice resonated in the room, and this time I couldn’t hold my laughter in, but I had to be composed to be accepted.
“I don’t sleep with Mr. Twinkles anymore, Grandma; that was five years ago,” he let out, his voice thin and recessive. I could tell he was embarrassed.
“He told me everything. He’s quite the attractive type, so I had to hold on to him so he doesn’t get dragged by those strippers and single club girls,” I responded in an attempt to defend him.
“Did you guys also meet in the club?”.
“No, Grandmother, we met at a conference in Washington, DC. Exchanged contacts, and here we are,” I lied, putting on a smile.
“That’s good. It would add to the family business,” she cooked up the perfect smile.
“Are you guys heading out now?” I asked as his grandparents rose from their seats.
“Yeah, we are heading to the restaurant to have our meal,” she answered.
“Restaurant? Come on, I’m a great cook. Let me dish something up for you,” I declared, dragging Nicholas along with me.
“Those two would make a great couple.”.
After a delicious lunch, his grandparents appreciated my cooking and also gave me the marriage advice all parents gave their children. After they left, I returned and began my revenge.
“Mr. Twinkles the billionaire,” I teased. I could see how embarrassed he was. Acknowledging the fact that I had his most embarrassing moments at hand.
“I now see why you chose me to be your presence wife. You didn’t want everyone to see you as a loser who couldn’t keep a girl in a relationship while you had fears of falling in love”, I began. My plan to annoy him with his weaknesses was going pretty well. I was going to make sure he terminated the contract and I could go free with the money at the same time.
“You know not what happened that day, Rose,” he yelled.
“Let me guess. You met her at a street club, you guys got drunk, slept together and you took her in as your fiance but she acquired a little part of your wealth and fled”.
“How did you know that?” he asked, astonished by my words.
“I’m the mastermind behind. I couldn’t let you run Scott free after you bullied me back in high school and your family dragged my father into jail and all that”, I explained.
“My father did the reasonable. He caught my mother bleeding in your father’s arm and a knife in her stomach, what other proof does one need to put your father behind bars”, he inquired with his eyebrows furrowed upwards.
“Maybe if your father had hired a private investigator who did his research perfectly then you would have caught the culprit rather than doing something so illicit “, I scoffed.
“Sorry for not regarding a murderer like him with respect. No matter what happens I’m not letting him off the hook”, Nicholas moved closer his gaze laying on mine.
“That’s because you’re just like your father. A jerk just like him.”, I stormed out, grabbing my bag along the way.
“The door wouldn’t open without me giving it a command and according to the contract if you read it very well, you can’t leave my house unless I let you”, he held up a smirk as he moved towards me.
“Just as I thought. You’re still the same ignorant, nonchalant, and ruthless son of a gun”, I yelled in anger.
“And you rose are still as beautiful and curvy as ever”, he slammed his hands on either side of the door, holding me in place so I couldn’t move.
I felt a jolt of pain and desire as his lips came into view. They were moist, and palatable from the view as with that perfect jawline it would be such an intense kiss.
“You know what, let’s terminate this contract”, I let out staring down at the floor.
“You can’t Rose. Only I can terminate it before the due date. Meaning I can kiss and caress you till the contract is over. “, he threatened.
“That would be quite disgusting but according to my terms only during emergency purposes”, I said, still gazing at his moist lips.
Slowly he brought his face towards mine, staring at me in a way that our heads and nose made contact and his lips teased mine.
“Lilian is looking at us, seems we have to kiss now to prove we’re a couple.”.
