The Billionaire's Proposition

Chapter 1

"Did you find a way to contest the will?"
Damon asked his lawyer, Ben.
"Am afraid not. The will is ironclad and you must adhere to it or lose everything."
Ben replied.
"Thank you for your help, you can leave now."
After Ben left, Damon picked up his copy of the will. It has been two months after the will reading. His deceased father had set his inheriting his companies and assets on a condition that he marry soon or lose everything to his distant cousin, Peter.
He could have just said to hell with everything and left. He was the one who invested a lot of time, money and energy in building the company after it was nearly destroyed by his father who did everything to please his young wife. He had his own money, he could just let go but his mother's memory would not let him.

Emerald Davidson ran her father's company until she met and married Michael Bolt. She gave everything to him.
His mother had been his mother, sister and best friend. When she died, his father decided to marry again. Damon had felt hurt and betrayed when Caroline became his father's wife because she was his woman then. He left and started his own company. Within five years, he became a millionaire. He only went back home when he found out that his father nearly sucked his mother's company dry in order to satisfy his young wife.
He took the helm and brought the company back to its glory and even more. He couldn't let Peter who could not even take care of himself destroy the company, his mother's legacy.

He dropped the will on his table and went to look out his window. Though the view was splendid, he didn't really notice it. He only had four months to find a solution to this problem.He was thinking hard.

He turned back to his table. He saw some forms on his table. He picked them up and read through the first one. He called his secretary.

"Sir, you called for me."
"Yes, I saw these on my table. We have exceeded our quota for donations these year so we can not grant these requests, take them away ."
"Yes Sir".
As Darcy was gathering the papers, he saw the name on one of them.
"Wait a minute"
He pulled out a form and his secretary left. The name on the form was Miss Shalimar Smith. He read through it. He saw her problem and wanted to help her. He would help her from his personal account. He made to sign it when his eyes fell on his father's will. An idea came to him and he smiled.

He picked up his phone and dialed his secretary.
"Hello sir, what may I do for you, sir"
"Get me Miss Smith, tell her to come tomorrow ".
"But sir, tomorrow is her day off".
"Just do as I say and get her for me. Inform her that she will be compensated"
"Okay, right away sir".

Damon put down his phone . He was going to make sure his mother's company was secure and also get someone he had wanted for a long time. He looked at the form again and smiled.
He would not marry Caroline, not now, not ever.
He dialed his lawyer who picked up after two rings.
"Ben, I need you to draw up some papers for me"
