THE MARRIAGE CONTRACT

Chapter Twelve

Raymond's POV

  I just finished signing a business deal with a client when my private investigator called to inform me that Darasimi is on her way to my office. I smiled as I imagined her beautiful face, I don't think any man has the capacity to ignore such a beautiful face unless they're blind or something. I quickly packed up my things and rushed into my office, ignoring my secretary who was trying to catch my attention by pushing her breasts up. I pity the unlucky guy that will husband her because she has literally slept with every guy in the building and now she thinks that I'm her next target. She dare not try any rubbish with me or I might be forced to sack her.

  Well, you can't blame me for asking my private investigator to investigate all my employees. I just wanted to know those I was working with. On getting to my office, I dropped my things on the couch and went into the restroom to clean up. After cleaning up, I used deodorant. When I was okay with the way I look, I went back into the office.

  I checked the CCTV footage in my office to see where she is and luckily for me she just entered the building.

"How can someone be this beautiful and yet does not know it?" I asked myself

  I've seen and worked with models, women of all sizes, yet none has ever captivated me like she does within a few minutes of seeing her. She got to my secretary and asked of me, and was told to wait while as she contacts me.

"What is wrong with that secretary of mine, doesn't she know that is my future wife she keeps waiting? I'll have to talk to her and remind her of her place in the company that is, if she still want to work in this company." I said to myself

  I quickly opened my laptop and rolled up my sleeves. I heard that ladies love it when their man rolled up the sleeves of his shirt while working. I knew she had entered. I just wanted to draw her to myself and hug her but that would scare her off. So, I pretended as if I wasn't bothered by her presence.

"Oh my... How can just one person be this beautiful and at the same simple?" I asked myself

"Someone is hooked already in the line of love. You better compose yourself or she'll think something is wrong with you" my subconscious mind mocked me

  I quickly covered up my smile with a frown...

"Look who we have here, if it's not my beautiful fiancee..." I said sarcastically when I raised my head from my laptop which I pretending to be working on

"Good afternoon, Mr. Raymond. I know you probably know me by now, but please I'm here to talk things out. I don't think a man with as much power as you as would want to settle down with a woman you know nothing about. I love my privacy and I just want to fall in love on my own, you know that is every lady's dream. Please, don't kill this dream for me. I beg of you." she said to me

"Wow, she's straightforward. I don't like women being too forward but I guess I do now. It makes her look more appealing to me" I said to myself

"You better wake up before you start skyrocketing in the wings of love. The poor girl thought you don't know anything about her, if only she knew that she's been followed everywhere she goes." my subconscious mind mocked me

"You would do anything for love" I replied

"Love I hear you say or infatuation?" it asked and continued without waiting for a response
"She wanted to fall in love with a believer. Oops, you're not one"

That got me angry but I managed to control myself

"Dara, I'm sorry because I can't help you. I want to get married to you and I'm getting married to you. I've told your father, it is either I get married to you or the contract comes to an end, which I quite know and very sure of that your father wouldn't want that, since he borrowed money to do this contract. He wouldn't want to get into my trouble and even allow the works of his fathers, which they worked so hard for, go down the drain." I said with no emotion

"Please remind try to understand. I believe so much in love. I just want to meet the guy and fell in love with him on my own. I heard that you're very famous with ladies, you can just pick one of them. Besides, I don't even know you." she said desperately with the hope that I'll change my mind

"If only you know that nothing is going to change his mind" my subconscious mind said

"Oh, someone has been stalking me. It's not everything you read from the tabloids that is true." I said sarcastically and continued...

"We don't have to rush into knowing each other. We have a lifetime to do that in our matrimonial home, we only have to be fast about the wedding. You'll definitely fall in love with me as times go on, probably in the first two years of our marriage. Concerning who to choose or not, it's you I choose and no one else. So, whenever you're ready to get married, let me know. I'm getting married to you and that's final or there's no deal.
 
I'll have my secretary contact your father. I'm sorry my love, but I have lots of work to do. So, I'll be glad If you can please excuse me. Have a nice day future wife." I said to her

  My heart goes out to her when I saw a tear fell from her eyes but I pretended as if I didn't see anything. I'm a business man and we're not moved by emotions. She carried her handbag and left with tears in her eyes not minding the disgrace and attention directed at her.

"When did I become this heartless ?" I asked myself

"The moment you got your heart involved in this marriage thing" my subconscious mind replied

I called my secretary and after giving her the necessary instructions, I left the office.
