The Bridal Agreement

COMPLETED ✔️(Editing Soon)

"Marry me."

I nearly spill my latte on the nicest dress I own.

"Are you out of your mind?! We just met... plus I don't even like your face!"

"It doesn't have to be real."

I set my latte down and look at him.

"No woman wants a fake marriage Mr. Mardell. Be less of a dumbass and find yourself a nice girl who'll kiss your ass even when you're ghosts."

"Look, don't flatter yourself" he goes leaning back in his seat. "You just happen to fit the description I gave the press and my family. And I don't like your face either."

I copy his move and lean back against my seat.

"I'd rather slam my tongue in a car door, sir."

The words hit him.

"Good day... and good luck finding a brainless girl to marry you."

I grab my purse and head towards the door.

"$20,000 a week" he blurts out.

I halt and whirl around.

"What?"

"I'll give you $20,000 every week for a month..."

He walks out from behind his desk.

"... if you agree to do this with me."

$20,000 every week for an 'I do'? Which happens to be fake too?

$80,000 in a month to play dress up for one of the youngest and richest CEO's in the world?

"So what do you say?"

His silky voice swims through my thoughts.

"You wanna get hitched for some money? You know your family needs it."

He just had to play the poor family card.

"So do we have a deal? Or I should go on and keep making you lose your jobs before you even start?"

He had a smirk on his face.

God, I hate him! But that money could help us a whole lot.

I glare at him and extend a hand towards him.

"Deal."
