Zoey fumed when she saw that text, some nerve he had to ask her for that. As she was busy clutching her phone, cursing Dante in her head, another text appeared,
'Tomorrow seems too far for me, Ms Zoey. I'm coming to pick you up. We'll get married today'
Zoey rolled her eyes and threw her phone on the bed,
'There was no way he would come'
She said to herself before heading to the kitchen to make her 'daughter' and herself's dinner. She made them some soup. She called Chloe over, and the girl ate without complaining. After she was done, she thanked Zoey and complimented her cooking skills before heading back to watch more TV. Zoey made Chloe some chocolate biscuits for desert and warm milk. The girl thanked her mommy before returning all her attention to her cartoons. Zoey smiled, seeing how the girl was being so obedient. She went back and did the dishes and took out the trash bags. On her way back into the building, she was startled when a male dark voice sounded,
"Are you ready, Ms Zoe?"
Frightened, she angrily turned towards the source of the voice and was met with the almighty Dante wearing a suit as usual with his hair messy and without a tie. He looked sexy as hell. Zoey rolled her eyes at him and crossed her arms before saying,
"Mr Blackwood, I deeply apologize for taking your daughter but as I read in novels and seen in movies when someone of your caliber just asks someone lowly like me to do him a favor he will repay that favor with millions of dollars--"
"So you want money from me because I told people I'm your 'boyfriend'?" He interrupted
"You didn't make me finish, Mr Blackwood. I was saying that instead of giving me all those millions of dollars, why don't you just give me time with your daughter, ALONE?"
She emphasized the last word.
Dante just smicked and looked at Zoe, amused.
"Well Ms Zoe I'm sure in your novels and movies, the guy always offers the lady what she wants or lacks. That's why I'm offering to marry you. That way, you can be Chloe's mother and get to be able to spend all day and night with her without having anyone to disturb you. "
"You must be kidding me, Mr Dante Blackwood. Why would I want to marry a pathetic, disgusting excuse of a man like you, someone who doesn't act like he loves his daughter? "
Dante's face darkened, and Zoey got nervous. He took long, slow steps towards her, and she couldn't help but take short steps backward. She kept taking those steps until she hit a wall behind her, and she stammered
"D-d-dont you dare come any closer you -"
"Your words a while ago were pretty offensive, but I won't take any offense in them. You're my future wife, after all, so I forgive you future Ms Blackwood." He charmingly said
"What kind of a man are you? How dare you ask me to marry you?"
"Why?.....Why?.....Why don't you want to marry me? I'm rich, handsome, and everything that a woman could need in a man. Why don't you want to marry me?" He said, getting annoyed
"Mr Blackwood, I don't even know you personally so -"
"So you want me to woo you?" he interrupted, saying this not as a question but as his 'mind made up decision'.
