The Contract

chapter 10

"You look dazzling" Moira said with her too perfect British accent

Roman smiled politely...when she was whisked away for the fitting she had no idea that it was Erin's sister who was going to accompany her

Better yet she had no idea her heart would be feeling so heavy...she definitely did not look like a happy bride
"We'll take this one" Moira told the girl who was helping Roman out of the dress

Roman quickly slipped on her clothes and went to wait for her package at the front desk

"Are you okay?" Moira asked

Roman liked her...she was every bit a free spirit and completely charming
She gave a slight nod, she wasn't about to start telling her how she should have been married but her ex fiance left her for her best friend when they'd been engaged for six years and even planned the date of the wedding and she had already bought her wedding dress which cost  her, her year's earn and she had to put it in a gift shop
Her heart ached

Because she was getting married...lawfully wedded..not for love...for money, like Erin put it,he needed a decoy, and she need the money he was willing to put in. She took a deep breathe as they collected the bag

"I was thinking we should visit my hair stylist and have her wave her magic wand at your hair" Moira said as they got in the car

Roman forced a smile and shook her head

"No need Em...it's a false wedding...there's No need to waste Erin's money

"Waste Erin's money" she mimicked with a voice of a three year old "he won't miss it...trust me"

"I honestly just want to get this over with" Roman shrugged

Moira swallowed her next sentence and nodded...
She liked Roman every minute, she noticed that Roman wasn't at all jumpy and excited about the fake wedding...other women around Erin would have wanted a film crew for it too and save a documentary however fake it is

She had discussed with Erin about having Roman sign a prenuptial agreement, but Erin said there's no need...as if he truly trusted this woman

And at the moment...looking at Roman fidgeting with her hands on her lap and shaking her leg absent minded-ly
She was sure she was nervous not because of pure excitement about being married to her brother, even though it was an act...she was nervous in the scared way...as if she wanted to back out already

Moira wanted to console her and tell her all will be fine...but she had to keep her head about her and not push Roman.

Roman didn't know why she kept ruining her mascara with her heart eyes but she didn't seem to stop tears from forming

She was only a minute away from walking into that court room with Erin and getting their marriage license or whatever it was
The dress was for the shoot...not to walk down the isle with

Her Car door opened and a handsome Erin got in with her at the back seat

"You ready??" He asked

Roman nodded while making efforts to dodge his eyes

"Think of this as business Roman...it'll be easier that way..."
"Great" Roman chuckled forcing her tears back

Erin dropped out and Roman followed closely behind as he led the way to the courtroom

The process was quick, after filling up some documents and going through all that was necessary...they had their marriage licenses

As they left the court...Roman was still thinking if she was sane... she didnt know why their fake marriage had to be legalized but she didnt want to ask...from what she heard,  Natasha was unstoppable and she was a complete female detective.
