Falling for Mr.Star

Chapter 3

Voilet POV:

What was going on? I wondered as I rushed to the window. I saw Alistair entering the apartment building and three men with briefcases followed him in.

OMG! Was he coming to my apartment!? I almost screamed and asked Izzy to open the door incase Alistair knocks. The lift was out of order and I was on third floor, it usually took two minutes to reach so I rushed to washroom to correct my appearance in just two minutes. I brushed my teeth and splashed water on my in a minute and wore black skinny jeans and purple shirt which I was wearing before going to Oscar after party last night. I tied my hair in a pony tail marking two minutes and crept out. I was at least presentable now. As soon as I entered living room there was a knock on the door. I nodded to Izzy who gave me a questioning glance about opening the door. He will know that Izzy knows sooner or later, I at least deserved this much right.

The Alistair Scott entered and my heart literally broke my rib cage as my eyes fell on him.

Damnit! Why did he have to look this… sexy! Or Hot! Or beautiful! Or handsome! It was just as if he fitted all the categories of good looks. He was in his long coat; my apartment suddenly seemed too tiny for him and his three fully suited friends.

“Hey Violet.” He said in a formal tone as if he was here for some business deal. He looked towards me, scrutinizing and then a tiny smile formed on his face he was looked at my feet and I followed his gaze and realized I was wearing bunny slippers. Blood rushed to my face and I felt sweaty all over due to sheer embarrassment. I just pretended to look around, acting as if I did not see him laughing at me just to save little piece of self confidence I had left. His eyes then studied the place and they fell on Izzy which immediately got us a scorn.

“Who is she?” he asked, completely annoyed, that small smile long gone.

“My best friend and she knows everything…and she is the only one who knows about it…” I said, sounding a lot stronger than I felt. He looked at me but this time, his gaze soft. He walked towards me, my breath caught in my throat.

“Okay…I am sorry…I was, well, mean to you last night and did not consider your situation. But I got you in this mess …” he said as he pointed towards the window, “so I have a choice for you…you can say yes and I will pay all you bakery bills and loan which have been accumulated till now and will pay for next six months and also buy you your bakery. All you have to do is to pretend to marry me for six months and live with me at my place. If you do this I assure you I will look out for you whenever you need me even when we part ways. See, I am not just an actor, I have my own business, my own production house and I have a VERY stable career so I am not just talking big. The other choice is you say no, I will leave right now and clear off your name, your life will be just like before.”

I looked towards Izzy who rushed to my side and pulled me to my room.

“Violet….just say yes… I know that bakery means a lot to you and this is THE ONLY WAY! But I won’t force you… it is your decision and as your best friend and notbloodrelated sister, I want what is best for you. If you think not going for this whole thing is better then do it! I will support you always!” Izzy said and I hugged her. I had tears in my eyes after listening to her comforting and kind words. I felt strong knowing I had a support of a girl who was even more than a family.

I closed my eyes and thought of mum smiling, I have to save the bakery! It is worth a lot more than six months of my life. I exited the room and saw Alistair impatiently waiting at the couch. He stood up as soon as he saw me.

“So..?” he asked his voice a bit nervous and shaky too.  He wasn’t being the best actor hiding his own internal stress.

“okay…we will get married…” I said, my throat dry as dessert. I saw a smile form on his face. He nodded towards the three suited men who turned out to be lawyers and we signed the document stating this secret was not to be leaked by any party and incase it does, other party has right to terminate the contract, which means ending the wedding. Since Izzy already knew so she also signed the document stating she will keep it a secret. It also stated everything related to bakery and in any case I die, Bakery goes to closest companion of mine which was obviously Izzy and Alistair will still be bound to fulfill his obligations related to bakery. And in case he dies, his company will pay and separate sum of money has already been separated for bakery funds. Once we were done signing documents, Alistair looked at me and smiled and my heart skipped a beat. GOD! Why was he so beautiful, his brown hair all perfectly brushed, his blue eyes carrying a thousand secrets, his perfect jaw making him so desired throughout world, I silently breathed out trying to calmly tell myself I need to get control over my stupid heart.

“We will have a proper wedding next week on Friday. You don’t have to worry about a thing. I have asked organizers and all to do this stuff, you just have to dress up in the wedding gown. You can invite whoever you like… till then, just wear this ring. I know it is not exactly how you planned your wedding and honestly so did I but I have to do this…” he said as he handed over me one of the most beautiful rings. I wanted to cry because all the dreams of marrying my soul mate just vanished away as I placed the ring on my finger. May be I can fall in love with him, maybe he can… I wondered silently, so silently so that they just remain whispers and nothing else.

“Why are you doing this? I remember you said you had to protect someone?” I asked, my curiosity getting the best of me but this question had to be asked.

“I … I love someone and she is not ready for all this media attention so I need a divergence.” He said, his eyes in a daze, as he thought about his LOVE.

His words broke my heart, I knew he wasn’t my real husband and I wasn’t even supposed to like him as our marriage was supposed to end in six months  but still I felt betrayed and  really sad knowing I won’t ever be able to get him. It made task of being with him all more difficult because now I knew it came with a threat of a heart break.
