The Contract Marriage (Complete)

Chapter 3

The day of the engagement

Here comes the day of my engagement. I get ready with the help of my maids and my bff Rina. I wear a red gown and comb my hair into a bun. And I come to the venue. A large hall was rented, seeing this much of people got me nervous. The hall was spacious enough to accommodate 1000s of our guests. Since the engagement was part of a deal, many business persons came. I only knew few of the guests who were my friends and relatives, who were countable in my fingers. Attending other guests, were my dad and Mr. Ryuu Carlton.

 My fiancé was standing beside me on my right side, with a glass of drink on his hand and the other hand in his pocket looking stunning in his grey tuxedo with other company's presidents, obviously having business talks. I had Rina, standing on my left side.

"You're seriously getting married to him?" Rina asks me as she furiously looks at my fiancée.

 Suddenly a lady lady pops in front of us,getting super excited seeing me. She suddenly hugs me with all her might as youwould to your best friend, seeing her after a very long time. I look at her confusedly. 

"umm I'm sorry but I didn't recognize you..." was all I could say.

She just pulls my fiancé by his hand taking him away from the person he was talking to another billionaire who I was introduced to a while ago and whose name I obviously don't remember. My fiancé gave her a death glare but she ignores him and pointing him she smiles widely and says,

" I'm the mother of this idiot here, dear!' She exclaims happily.

My so called fiancé shrugs off from his mother's grip,

"Done?" He says raising his brow and goes back to apologize to the billionaire standing shocked there.

This lady, my would-be-mother-in-law was stunningly gorgeous, she emits the aura of a queen and her eyes sparkles youth. No one would say that she's the mother of a 25 years, young man, now I know where did my fiancé got his looks from.

After a while, my father makes an announcement and everybody gathers to witness the deal between two companies being signed, Oops! I mean my 'engagement' ceremony. 
As he slips the ring on my ring finger I again remember the contract that I signed with him and think yes now I can't escape my fate even if I want to. 

"Don't worry! I'll have the car ready outside your wedding venue if you ever have change of mind on this!" My best friend whispers to me, showing me her thumbs up, as if reading my mind.

 What would I do without her? I smile at her lovingly.

Sigh. I sigh for like 100th time now and the reason- 'after the engagement, my fiancee and I are standing next to each other for like 30 minutes and it's so awkward that I don't know what to talk to him and how to begin with...

"Are you enjoying the party?" I ask him.

He just nods.

O wow! Teresa! what a nice question to ask, I roll my eyes.

"Umm, so many business associates, aren't they?" my mouth utters another stupid question, well 'duh!'

"Yes. You see there, the man in the grey suit, he's the president of Takao Enterprises."

And bla bla bla he goes on and on, pointing one man after another. My guess was right, he can talk about his business the whole night if you give him.

Now I'm regretting over the question I asked him because was getting bored here but this guy doesn't give a damn and continues his business talks. God! Why do I had to get over smart and ask him this stupid question?
