(Sammy's POV)My world came crumbling down when the so-called man who was interviewing me returned with a large box, which, I thought, was a gift box. I was happy and sipping the champagne when I was told the shocking news of a lifetime and choked on the liquid as I coughed violently trying to grasp for some air. Even when the man rushed to my side to help me calm down, I pushed him away as I lifted my head and fixed my cold sharp eyes at him that he slowly backed away from my evil eye with a piercing gaze which would drill through a soul if it could. I thought I was dreaming hearing what the man had to say and like a fool he repeated the words as if the news were something good.“The contract you just signed is you approving to be Mr. William's part-time wife…your weekly payment has been sent already…kindly wear this wedding dress and wedding ring so that we can take pictures”he said seriously as if my anger were nothing, he shoved the box to me and my anger flared up. I couldn't br
(Sammy's POV)I thought my night would be in my favor or better yet at last get some shut eyes; however, that wasn't the case when I kept on waking up in the middle of the night due to a horrible nightmare. I was dreaming of my new life as a wife, and I was in the kitchen cooking with white flour all over me, including my face. I was dressed like an old lady from the 60s with a head wrap. Kids were crying like bees swarming around me, yelling mommy we want food. Mommy, I want this and that. I couldn't handle the pressure looking at all the little kids who were obviously my children and the sight of it scared me as I began feeling dizzy. My head was spinning and the bowl of something I had in my hands started slipping away as the yelling and screaming and crying repeated in my head. I was unable to take it anymore and felt as if I would explode any time soon and that.“Ahh!”a loud scream escaped my mouth as I woke up panting and catching my breath. I was disturbed as I scanned my surro
In the past, I always had this crazy fantasy of living in a ginormous castle, full of servants at my beck and call and well that was never the caseMy family was just an average family. We weren't rich or famous or owned luxurious cars like the different expensive cars I saw parked outside, but we were a decent family who were comfortable with what we had.Everything around the mansion was top-notch, I elegantly walked away from the gate heading further inside and my eyes couldn't help but admire my surroundings. The magnificent landscaped gardens, looking back, I noticed the main entrance was through a curved entrance with a black wrought iron electric gate. A sweeping gravel driveway with apple lighting was borderline on both sides by rolling lawns with beech highland and extensive herbaceous planting. A double detached garage was positioned to the left side of the mansion, there was parking to the front and side of the mansion for several cars, which were all expensive in my eyes.
(David POV)“So…the judge approved this…” It was hard to believe the kind of situation I was left in by my older brother. It seemed they did things deliberately just to annoy me or anything. My brother's whole life was dedicated to working without crashing. He never took any rest, even when he fell ill. I blamed it on the woman he loved, the mother of the twins she gave birth to and walked out of my brother's life. He loved her a lot and gave her whatever she wanted, but she broke his heart and chose another man without thinking twice. I didn't want to go through what my brother went through. His depression led him to an early grave, and I cursed the woman who was responsible for that.“The court firmly told me they'll keep an eye on you for about six months or a year just to see if the twins are okay with your…wife”it was impossible to think or even put my head on the pillow to get some shut eyes without waking up middle of the night hoping to find everything back to normal with my b
(Sammy POV)“So…what do you think?” he finished his sentence with a click of his index finger on the desk and leaned back in his chair and kept his gaze on me. I stood there pondering over his words. He made a good offer, something which I didn't expect from someone whom I disrespected the other night. The man was willing to put all grudges aside because he needed my help. His idea was a ridiculous one, something I was supposed to say no to and walk out, however I was standing before him fighting with my inner self on what to do.After a bad first encounter. I cooled down thanks to Charlie, who explained to me the situation. Apparently, the man I nearly fought with was the billionaire who wanted me as a wife. According to our encounter at the bar, his personality wasn't so pleasing. He looked like an arrogant man, a spoiled rich bachelor who thought marriage was just a game. Although I didn't intend to get married and settle down myself, I respected the bond of marriage a husband and
(Sammy POV)“What!?”as expected a loud exclaim came from Christina and every foul liquid she had in her mouth splashed on my face making me back away. She was shocked even more than I was.“Dude…keep your mouth on a leash…jeez”I said out of frustration and took some wipers off the table and started cleaning my face and neck. I decided to see Christina after a long day of negotiating with the man I was going to work for. I was so angry and meeting Christina meant a long time of girl talk which never stopped, no matter how much we tried, and after we settled down in one of the fast food restaurants to have some grilled cheeseburgers and french fries. I told Christina everything my brother did and what I was from doing, and she was shocked, “Forget my spit…how can Charlie bear do this… I mean that's ridiculous…he doesn't expect you to actually get married”It was impossible for Chris to take my problems seriously, her boyfriend was the soar reason I was scattered and instead of treating
“Here…keep the change”I said as I handed him money for my taxi fare. I immediately got out of the car and slammed the door and exhaled as I held my head, which felt heavy. The taxi drove away from there and I proceeded to the small gate, which was a little blurry to my eyes. The night was dark, the lights from the streets illuminated the place together with the giant light bulb my mom had put in front of our porch to make it fancy. I shook my head, shoving my mom's bizarre theories away, and dragged my tired self to the entrance of the house. The lights were on, and hence I guessed my mom was still awake. I was certain the time was after midnight or not, but whatever it was, I pushed the door open and to my luck it was open, and immediately I walked in. I stopped abruptly when I suddenly bumped into a box nearly falling, but I managed to keep my balance “What the…'' I muttered and looked down only to find many boxes placed in the living room. The small hallway which led to the kitche
(Sammy POV)“No, no…no, no… I don't want you here…we made a deal okay…you report to work early at 6AM” the man before me said, shaking his head. I knew dropping at his house's doorstep with my luggage sounded so ridiculous even to myself, but I was left with no choice when my mom gave my room to some helpless girl who he worked for. I had plans of crashing at Chris's apartment, but that wasn't it, I recalled Chris was now staying with my brother; hence I just couldn't go to her grandparents and stay like I was part of the family. I was helpless and David was my only solution to the problem I encountered.“I'll pay rent okay…look, if you want me to be your part-time wife…then let me stay… I promise not to disturb you…well” I said and rose to my feet, all I wanted was a place to stay, I already knew about his woman streak and I didn't mind. He could go and fuck as many women as he wanted, and I would stay out of his hair. “Take it like I'm your tenant…you won't see me, plus I wake up la
