A NEW BARGAIN

THIRD PERSON POV

The whole crowd gasp when the screen was played, there in front of their eyes was Sophie and Thomas.

Her nudes fully exposed for everyone to see. "Now Sophie, shouldn't you be ashamed, having sex with your elder sister's fiance," Isa grinned.

"And please, work on your editing, you tried but I don't have ten fingers in one hand, it's five per hand," She added with a smirk, causing Sophie to look at the photo..

There, she noticed the errors in almost all of them. "Know this dear sis, I gave you a chance to run away and you refused," She whispered as Xavier snap his finger for the security men to carry her out.

"And as for you dear husband, make sure your assistant don't follow me and bribe my assistant to work under you," She grinned, surprised him, yet he kept his cool.

The wedding ceremony went on, they held hands until they got out of the car. "Drop me at the office," Isa instructed the driver.

"Do you have something to pick?" Xavier asked. "I planned to work and don't worry I will be indoors all through, no meeting, so everyone will think we are going for our honeymoon," She muttered, resting her head on the window.

"No, we are not pretending anything, I cleared my schedule for the two weeks just for us to get close, I need to know the woman I married," he argued, not wanting any of his plans to go wrong.

She was to fall for him during their honeymoon, only then would she feel the pain of betrayal when he announced his queen.

She looked at him, scanning him before looking away. "Do you have something to gain from all these?" She calmly asked.

"Just getting to know you," He boldly said. "Mr. Xavier, I am a business woman and if I'm not working, I am working, so if you want me to be away for two weeks,"

"I will pay you for your time, per minute," He cut in. "How much," she asks. "100 dollars," He replied.

"They are 20160 minutes in two weeks, thus I'm receiving," She calculated, looking at her phone.

"approximately two million dollars," She mumbled. "Then I will double it to four," He smirks.

"Done, you have me and my undivided attention for two weeks," She accepted, pulling her hands in front of him to which he accepted.

To him, the money was nothing compared to the pain he plans to inflict on her, he was back for his punishment.

Their time was interrupted by the call on Isa's phone. She rolled her eyes upon sighting the caller but still answered it either way.

"How dare you humiliate your sister that way," The voice yelled, just enough for Xavier to hear his scream.

"Dear birth giver, you might destroy my ears one day," she complained.

"I gave your beloveds daughter a chance to turn back, she refused, she only got what was coming for her," she went on either ways.

"She was only trying to reunite you with the once love of your life, like come on Eva, Sophia is more pretty than you, it's not her fault Thomas ended up with her, it's your fault for not being able to control your man,"

"Really," Eva soon cut in. "Get out of my house, it's my property, I give you two weeks, by then, you are not out, I will expose you for embezzlement of funds," she threatened.

"Oh and it's not my fault I'm suing, it's your fault for not being able to keep your secret really well," She ended the call, biting her lips really hard and then look at him.

"I don't trust you, I can't trust your gender again, this is a loveless marriage, I don't want to be hurt, not again,"

"So if you are expecting love, then you are free to get it elsewhere, I won't mind," She stated.

Xavier only look at her and didn't say anything, he waited till the car was at the airport, before ordering her to stay put.

Then he opened the door which got her scoffing, ignoring everything and leading her into the airplane.

Only when they were alone, did he finally break the silence. "Look Isa, I don't talk too much, rather I show, I'm not going to promise giving you the world, am going to show I can give you the world and I'm not going to promise you that I will make you love me, I will show that I can make you love me,"

"And here is a deal, if by the end of this two-week, I have not made you comfortable around me, I have not made you love me, then I will let you go, we will divorce and you can choose to tell the world when we divorce,"

"However, if I did make you fall in love with me, you will have to show it to the world no matter what happens," He demanded, stressing his hands out.

"And what if by the end of the two weeks I lie to get out," Isa asked, lowering her eyes a bit.

"You can't do that, you don't look like a scammer," He whispered. "Deal," She accepted.

"The papers would be sent tomorrow," He informed. "We are signing this?" She asked puzzle.

"I'm a business man, documentation is very important," He answered. "I'm off to bed," She annouces either way, standing up.

"It's a sixteen hours flight, since I'm being paid to be lazy, I better do it right," She yawned, entering the private cabin

She had failed to notice his sinister grin as she walked inside. "Boss, should you be doing that," Nathan inquired the moment he returned.

"If she doesn't fall in love with you then it's over, you will have to let her go and we can't let her go, not when we have made it this far," He muttered, trying so hard to keep his tone down.

"Relax Nathan, it's a part of my plan, all through out the two weeks she will think about not falling in love with me, the more she thinks about it, makes her think about me, you watch, I will make Isa confess her love to me," He declared, clenching his fist.
