The Wedding Deal ( Ongoing- unedited)

3. Alone and afraid.

I looked around the unfamiliar surrounding. There was nothing else than a long stretch of trees, trees and trees as far as I could see. Sigh. How could I have trusted someone I have known barely for a day? Good going Natalie. I should have known earlier. So what if he is the 'Chase Turner' the billionaire? I'm not gonna give in to him. I know he's got a whole lot of power in the business world but he is not going to use his authority over me. God. Stupid me. Good friend huh? Serves me right. I knew something was so familiar about him but I couldn't get hold of it. What about the deal?  Everyone knows he's a womanizer. Everyone knows he's with another girl every day. Who wants to sign a deal with someone like that? Maybe some old money greedy woman may. But. Obviously not me. Especially when my image will be at stake. No. Never.

"You have to sign a deal with me." Chase said keeping his eyes on the road and his hands on the steering wheel.

"Deal?"  I asked astounded.

"A deal." He said again.

"And what's that?"

"The deal is that," he cleared his throat, " you'll have to pretend to be my fiancée."

"Your what? Are you crazy?" I couldn't believe my ears. "For God's sake, you're engaged." I said totally disgusted.

"That's the point."

My eyebrows creased in confusion.

"You see, I am engaged. Well you know with whom. Don't you?" He questioned.

"Of course, the great Charlene Davli. Who doesn't know her? I mean the news is scattered all over the papers and magazines." I retorted. Yeah, Charlene Davli, another billionaire. Hell, one sitting here beside me is more than enough for me. How could I handle two?

"Correct." He asserted. "You may as well have read the papers. And as you know I found out that she's been cheating on me," he said it too calmly, " I want you to pretend to be my fiancée and see how she reacts."
