Xavier Jones , a successful billionare in buisness world but broken from inside after death of her lovely wife Vanessa, father of a very cute 3 years old daughter Alicia. But do not have time for her.
Violet Becker , a cheerful cute girl , who lives...
I was walking down the street towards my home. I was feeling numb, totally numb. The words of Xavier were ringing in my mind.
(Flashback start)
"I am really sorry Mr. Xavier but I came here for the job. And even if I am really forced to quit my studies and do job. I am not a prostitute." I said in a very harsh and rude manner because I was burning in anger. What does these rich rascals think about us middle class girls? That we will sell ourselves to them for our needs?
"Calm down Miss Becker. I am not making you my mistress. I am just giving you an offer . You want to accept it , accept it otherwise leave it." He said in composed manner. I felt confused on his words. "What do you mean? What type of offer?" I asked." Look the matter is that my wife died 4 years ago. "Saying this his voice trembled a bit and saw a glimpse of moisture in his eyes but then he quickly composed himself." I have not touched any women since then nor I think of doing so. But the problem is of my 5 year old daughter, Alicia. You see I have a big company to handle with and I can't give her enough time. I have governess for her which is with her since she was born and I thought that was enough for her. But yesterday when she was ill I realized that she really misses her mother, although she don't remember her, and she really needs a mother. So , I am giving you this offer that you get married to me, be a mother to my daughter . I will not demand anything else. No romance, no physical contact, you know what I mean. And in return I will afford all the expenses of your father's treatment." He said .
Then he picked his cellphone and after some movements he turned the screen to me ." She is my daughter, Alicia Jones."

It was a picture of very cute 5 year old. " She is adorable." Words escaped my mouth suddenly. "I know . I also know that the choice I am asking you to make is a difficult one so I give you 1 week time . After 1 week I will call you to know your opinion. You may go now."
(Flash back ended )
I was not able to think straight. At first I got furious, but when. I calmed down a little bit and started to think like a mature one, I realized that his offer was not that bad. Yes I was actually thinking of accepting Xavier request. Because after losing my mom I can't loose my dad too. He was everything for me . But the problem was that how will I tell dad about this . I know him. He will die but will not let someone manipulate me.
After thinking for an hour I called Emily " Come to my home. No questions! " I hung up after saying these 6 words. And now she was sitting beside me in less than 15minutes. "What happened ?" She asked. " You know I had an interview at Jones enterprises today ? ” I said. She nodded. "So Xavier Jones , the CEO of the company proposed me !” I said in stern voice. She jumped out from her place and stood while putting her both hands on her back." You know I hate incomplete info. Tell me the whole story." After that I told her everything. Xavier proposal, reason of his proposal and his offer to afford dad's treatment.
" So what will you do now ? " She asked . " I don't know . I haven't been able to think straight. " I start crying . " If I don't accept his proposal I know that I can't have enough money to start dad's treatment. I really don't know what to do! "." When do you have to reply to the proposal?" Emily asked while patting my back . "In 1 week" I said . " Well ! Think clearly . And how old is Xavier daughter?" Emily asked and picture of that cute little girl flashed in front of my eyes. " She is 5 years old and she is so cute and innocent that I just wanted to take care because you know I just loveeee babies and toddlers. " I said " and I not only wanted this for my dad but for that little girl also.She is too young . She deserves a mother's love because that's the most beautiful feeling in the world. You know that . I know that. But that little girl... she was too young when her mother died. " I said while remembering my own mother . Her love . Her affection. "Well its heart touching but you should think the other side too. You are going to marry someone who apparently will not love you ever . What will you do? " Emily asked in a concerned voice.
" I know but there are many marriages that are no based on love and still couples live a happy life . On the other hand we both know such marriages which ere based on love but ended terribly ." I said.
"So, when will you go to Xavier's office? " She asked. " Ema , problem is not Xavier, its dad. How will I tell him? " I asked as this was literally the most difficult task of my life. "Leave that to me darling. " She said while smirking . " Really Ema , you will talk to dad on my behalf ?" I asked . "Of Course , uncle likes me much and he believes that I am much mature and sensible than you. But I must say that you should be away from home when I talk to him. " She said. I suddenly felt as a heavy burden was put on my shoulders and now that it has been lifted on. I was a lighter than a feather.
"Fine , I have to do some groceries for him. I will go and get it . You have 1 hour to talk to him and please make him understand me. " I said in pleading voice. "Don't you worry when Ema is here. "She said. "Now go before I change my mind."
I wen out of house. There was no need to suspect on Ema's abilities . She has a "superpower" of making people happy, make people do what you think the will not do in a century . Lets hope for the best.
