"The next time, you use those accused hands of yours to touch me, I will so much make you armless, you should know that I don't need my dad to make you cry, so don't tempt me, just get off my life and live your loose life with my sister, you two look good together." She didn't want to battle words with this idiot, she had said her mind, so no need for more conversation, she took a few steps away from him but Derrick was an idiot, he pulled her hair with his hand, the pain on her scalp was all she could feel. "Ahh!" "You thought, you are going to get away from me, you are mine and I am going to make you worthless, I will show the world that you are nothing but a whore." Dante take a step with his clenched fist, seeing that wretch hurting Barbara before he could be making himself visible, Barbara hit him moving her legs backward when her heels shoe meet his private part, he free her, as he too struggles in pain, as soon as she gains her balance, she sends a punch right to his face ma
"You not serious are you?""Of course, I am freaking serious, I know Claudia is a headache, she is nosy, and she will want to know more, I am sure, she will try finding out everything about this if we are just pretending." "But we are just pretending." "Can you shut up? I know that all this is fake, that is the reason, I am renting you for a month." "Do you think, you could afford me for a month?" "Li Jun, right?" Barbara asked he looked at her and nodded. "Name your price and see if I can't afford it." Dante presses his lips together, he is aware that, money might not be the issue, Barbara could get it within a blink but then making her beg might make him smile since the fellow is arrogant. "Terms and conditions." "What's that?" "You said I should name my price?" "Yes but..." "My terms and conditions, are my price." "As in, you want to give me orders?" "Call it anything, Do you want to know my terms and conditions?" "I don't take orders from people if I am paying for them
"Stop asking questions, that you already know the answer to." "So you kissed her?" "Jayden, don't you think your dad needs you back?" "Fine, I go on now." "Will you stay right there? There is no way I am seeing that Scarlett of a girl alone." "Then I should give you my conditions as well." Dante titters at Jayden's silly jokes, his phone rings, and Jayden hits him. "Get your phone.""Oh! This girl again." He picks again, yet again without a word. "Are you there?" "Speak, I can hear you." "Why do I get these Feelings, you love to annoy me?" "I don't know." "Anyway, I have signed the stupid contract of yours and...""Fine, you should call when you need me, a day to the time." "Bye""No impromptu, bye." "Jerk." Dante didn't reply to that part of her, he pressed the end button. "Annoying girl." "Dante! Dante! Dante." "You jerk, why are you calling me?" "Don't give your name to me." Dante throws the pillow at him. "Fine, so you are...""Yes, do you have a problem with that?"
"After you!" Scarlett nodded then walked in front of Dante and Jayden, Dante pulled the chair for her. "Thanks!" "You welcome!" He takes his seat in front of her while Jayden takes the next seat, the chef keeps placing food on their plates, and Dante uses his hand to tell him to go, and that they will manage, he bows and then leaves. "The food is nice!" "Hm! I will tell him, you compliment his cooking." "So tell me about yourself." "Lady's first.""I am a very beautiful woman." Dante's eyes bulge out, was that supposed to be part of telling him about herself, the other part of her description fell on a deaf ear, the boy is no longer interested in her words, she talks Dante is practically comparing her with Barbara in his head, he closed his eyes then run his hand on his temple. "It's getting late." Dante needs to end the conversation very fast, he is tired already, reminding her of time, just did the magic"Yep! I have to leave now." "Sure!""I will be on my way, maybe, we coul
"Barbara, go on and answer your sister, didn't you tell him?" "Grandpa, I did but he is...""Too busy to even honor your precious grandpa's invitation." Barbara closed her eyes, Claudia was fueling the situation. "Just maybe, he is a punk that is...""Claudia keep quiet, stop talking.""Really? You dating a boy who is disrespecting your family, first of all, he came to the ball but didn't appear before your family.""Did he attend the ball?" Calvin asked, Barbara clenched her fist. "Give me the bloody answer." "I am sorry Dad, he was late and I didn't...""You didn't think Dad could see him but he could kiss you without your dad's permission.""Claudia, you should stop it, I think, your sister is still studying his behavior before bringing him home." That was Hazel's voice, although she doesn't like Barbara, helping her with this will also be for Claudia's benefit. "Is that true Barbara?" Calvin asked. "Dad, you shouldn't believe what..." Her phone rang that minute, she looked at i
"Barbara, we need an answer." Hazel held her head, this daughter of hers, should lock her lips. "Beach house," "Restaurant!" Dante and Barbara's words contradict each other, Dante had taken the beach but Barbara had taken the restaurant, the truth is, they met at the beach house. "Which should we take?" Calvin asked the two drama dolls in front of them. "Beach house!" "No restaurant!" "Beach house!'"Restaurant!""You two stop it, it doesn't matter where you two met, the truth is, are you two in love with each other?" Barbara looks at Dante, she is not in love with him and he too is not in love with her, she lowers her eyes. Grandpa Jarius's heart is leaping for joy, seeing that his granddaughter had caught a golden fish, watching the two act like two kids makes him happy, he is aware that the two don't love each other and Claudia is right, just maybe she option for rented boyfriend and end up with the wrong person. Dante can't work for that kind of agency, whatever it may be, D
. "Come on Grandpa, you all heard that he is my boyfriend." "I know that is the reason I asked which of them because it's obvious you don't know anything about him and if you keep on, your dad will find out the truth." "Fine, Grandpa but you will keep it a secret." "My lips are sealed, so go on.""Fine, I just need a fucking boyfriend to appear with me at the ball after that jerk of Derrick break up with me, I was so frustrated attending a ball without a date, so I had to option for Ad that rent date to a female, it was Kathleen that book the appointment for me, so when I got there, I saw him, so that is how I got the fake boyfriend, I am sorry."Grandpa Jarius pushed his hand into her hair then pushed it back. "It's fine my daughter, I know you two don't know anything about yourself and you lie to him about your name and status.""I was scared that he might end up blackmailing me.""Silly girl.""I am sorry, I only did that because I was scared that you were going to matchmake me
Barbara throws her things at the back of the car, Ethan is not around, and the boy falls sick the night after the ball, so Barbara asks him to take a day off now she is driving herself to the office. As soon as she sat behind the engine, she turned the ignition and hit the road, playing a very soft song to put her at ease, she was moving her body to the song while humming with it before she knew it, her car thud, she felt it as it wriggle"What thou hell?" She cursed inwardly, pressing the break then turned off her engine to put the car to a halt and then came out, to check the back of her car for damages. "Shit!" She cursed again turning to the other side, only to see the person who hit her car walking gorgeously towards her. Standing with her hand on her waist ready to send a punch through the man's face, if he made a mistake of running his mouth, he smiled at her as he walked closer. "Miss, are you alright?" He scanned through her as he asked with a worried tone, that look on the
