"It's not about what she wants, it's about what we want, Dalton," his name rolls off my tongue and I realise it's been so long since I've said it. Between myself and Stella, we call him The Poltergeist. Because he won't get out of my life.  

"It's not what I want," Dalton comes closer to me, and I want to retreat back but I'm already pressed against the counter. He stops just in front of me and nods down to my mug, "that's mine." 

"You can have it if you sign," I counter back, "you can have anything. This house, my car, everything." I leave the mug beside the sink before I start to move back to the front door.

After months of refusing to sign the divorce papers: In an effort to stay in Rosie's life, he finally agrees to sign, on one condition: he shall retain 50% ownership of their bakery. Baffled by her husband's sudden interest in her small town bakery, she agrees to the terms to be finally rid of their failed marriage. 

Little does Rosie know, it'll be the best mistake she'll ever make.

"You're beautiful Elise" "Zach, please..." I smiled when she called me Zach. It was always Zachary or Mr. Walton and when she called me Zach I... "Zach?" she sat up on the bed raising an eyebrow "If you don't want..." I cut her off by kissing her gently while tugging on her shorts until I removed them without breaking the kiss. "I want this, more than you can imagine, I just want you to be sure you want it too" Without saying anything she started undoing my shirt's buttons, until she lost all her patience and ripped it off. I chuckled "Eager much?" "Don't you think it's about time? We've been playing cat and mouse enough" "Elise just shut up and kiss me, kiss me like it's the first time yet not the last, kiss me like it's something you've been wanting to do for so long and you finally can, kiss me..."

Pretending to be his girlfriend for as long as it takes to have his mother off his back? Little did he know this decision was going to flip his world upside down. Let's pretend...

Everything you could wish for at my fingertips. So why do I hate my life you ask? I open my door. "Do you need anything princess?" Dalton asks from his perch outside my door. "Will you ever go back to calling me Lilly?" I ask rolling my eyes at his formality. We grew up together and he was my best friend. Now that he works directly for my father he is bound by father's stupid rules. "You know I can't." Dalton says as he looks at the ground "Your father would kill me" "I'm going for a run." I say bluntly and turn my back to him. Dalton grabs my arm. "Wait you have to get permission" I twist out of his grasp and he grabs my other arm. Pulling me into him. "So concerned with my father Alt? What would he say if he saw us now?" I whispered in his ear. That got his attention and he released me on the spot. I step away and stand tall. "I could tell father and..." "You wouldn't" Dalton says with his stupid grin I havent seen seance we were pups. I lean in "Maybe, maybe not, who knows what might slip, Alt. You know I'm bad at keeping secrets." "NO! Come on please. I don't want to lose my position. (or my life) You wouldn't do that to me would you Lil?" I got him.

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." ✄--------------------------------------------------------- No one ever realizes the implications of messing around with the famous 'Always and Forever' promise until they're cornered with no escape... except the one through their own hell.
