Scarlett jerked awake at a sound of merciless hard banging at the door. She gasped for a breath, as her heart hammered against her chest.

She got out of her comfortable bed and peered through the window. A group of figures were stood at her door, despite the effort she rushed down the stairs and flung the door open.

"What on earth is wrong with you? Do you know what time it is right now??"
"Madam, as you were not answering calls. Mr Hunter, CEO of Domi Hunters' gave me the responsibility to inform you that you must be ready for your pick up tommorow at 10AM sharp."

Immediately, she recognised the man infront, his secretary and the woman beside him, his assistant.
"For what?" She stuttered, barely awake.
"A strict contract. Even as his personal assistant I'm unaware of what it consists of, yet it is significant and Mr Hunter prioritised it over his other works." She says.

"Okay. Great." She said, shutting the door.
"A contract... what more will he want," she smirked, they just want money...
"I'll pay you a sum of money and get rid of you. Easy as damn" she says to herself, walking back up the stairs,
"Guess I need good sleep, tommorow is a big day."
She opened her door, curling up in her now cold bed.

*The next morning*

Her alarm started ringing at 8AM, she had settled it aware of her snoozing habits. It rang out on her desk, far away from her arms reach.

A few minutes later she finally got up and got to the washroom grabbing her towel and other things.
She turned the shower cold and stood under it, waking herself up.

After getting ready, she gazed at herself in the mirror, smiling. She grabbed her bag and a leather suitcase setting it at the table before her.
She quickly burned herself a toast and poured some orange juice.

At exactly 10AM , a horn blasted outside her door. She got up and grabbed her belongings, dropping a mint into her mouth, she opened the door, her eyes coming to disbelief, a black Lambo stood waiting for her.

It was just like she had seen in the movies, she walked up and a tall man in a suit stepped out opening the back door for her, she got in adjusting her black velvet dress, she reapplied her disappearing lipstick and gazed out of the window.

Eventually they reached the building and the vehicle came to a stop. She saw the man get up, assuming he would open the door for her, she pulled the handle stepping out and walking up the stairs.
The receptionist glared at her, glancing at her fancy outfit.
"Who are you..?" She asked, peering over her glasses.
"Bella Anderson" she paused, preparing to explain..
"Mr Hunter is waiting for you upstairs" She said, looking back at her computer and clicking away.

Scarlett stepped to the elevator, pushing the 10th floor button. The elevator ticked, lifting her up and eventually it opened.

She walked towards the double doors which clearly stated 'Do not disturb. Knock first.' Scarlett pulled open the doors, the charcter she was and Mr Hunters eyes flew up too meet hers.

He gazed down at her suitcase and smiled at the sight of money she assumed.
"Mr Hunter, I know business' are after pure money. Here is all I can give for now, any others can be paid later."
"Ms Anderon, whatever are you speaking off?" He asked.

She rolled her eyes.
"Money I have for the contract" she said.
"Ms Anderson. I dont need any money. Therefore it wasn't asked from you to bring money"
"What more can the contract be about? If you claim its not of money or hiring me"
"Ms Anderson, this contract is more off a personal one, " He stood up, the papers leaving his hands " work and love is very different"
"What? love?! What is this Mr Hunter?" She stepped back with shock. Mr Hunter never spoke about love. Although his love for his dear wife was angelic.

He smiled.
"Your behaviour towards me, will all be forgiven. But in return all I ask for is your approval to marry my son Alex.."

Scarlett bursted with laughter..

A door to her left opened. A young, devilish handsome man came through. He looked over too her. His eyes just as blue as the ocean.
"Father, your taste has always been bad" He smirked.
His father looked at him. Scarletts jaw dropped, as she digested his words.

"Taste?" She sniggered, slightly embarrassed, which she absolutely refused to show. "What would you know about taste?" She looked over to his father.
"Taste, you speak of. What kind off business contracts people with marriage? Especially with something like that??" She said, peering over at Alex.

Alex stared at her.
His father smiled, resting his elbow on his sons shoulder.
"I always knew your favourite, I always have seen young girls but never showed them too you cause I knew you wouldn't like any of them, this one however, quite stood out to me..."
He looked at his son, squeezing his arm. "Try not to stare the beauty out of her" He mocked
Alex slightly reddened, whispering something to his father.
"Well, if your little useless act is over, I would like to go now."

"Wait.." Alex said, removing his fathers grip. "Tell me if you can resist this..." Alex pulled his tie, letting it drop to the ground , and unbuttoned his polo shirts' first few buttons.
His bare neck revealed his broad and muscular frame.
Scarlett rolled her eyes, appearing unflattered.

Alex came steps closer, she looked at him. Her eyes a warning look.
"Keep away, or your gonna regret it."
"I never regret anything" He said, glancing at the case in her hand. "Well... well..."
"Alex be a bit smart and don't ruin your reputation over me" she smiled. "You'll get all you want in this pitiful world, except me."
He paused, his eyes were certainly his fathers. He towered over her, his eyes deep in hers, searching for a flicker, gleam or hint of love.
"That. Bella, is basically acceptance." His father came over to them, pulling him away from her, Alexs' eyes still glued to her. "You have challenged my son. Trust me, his mother and I are certain he gets whatever he wants. Now your his"
"I would beg to differ, sir. If word of mouth spread this company will be brought to great shame, which indeed would be dreadful"

Alex stared her down, erupting butterflies in her stomach, boosting her confidence but also annoying her all simultaneously.
