FELIX POV
"What do you mean I have to get married? That's preposterous"
"It is, but that's a criterion your father has always wanted for anyone that would take after him."
"That dumbfuck! Felix said angrily
"So if I don't get married what happens?"
"I think you and I both know what will happen."
"Shit" Felix said .
"Shit. If I don't get married, it will go to Beverly", Felix added.
"Yes. Beverly, your step sister will take over from your father"
"That's not going to happen" Felix said assuringly.
"What are you going to do for it not to happen" the lawyer asked Felix, looking at him. Beverly had always been in competition with him. He was the first heir of his father, but Beverly was always one step ahead of him. This time he had to be two steps ahead of her.
*************************
Felix Banks and his friend, Timothy, are having a drink together at a mini bar. Felix tells his best friend, Timothy, about his encounter with his father's lawyer at the hospital.
"That's ridiculous!" Timothy shrieked.
"The same thing I said. I don't even know what to do", Felix said.
"Well, that's insensitive, but you have to do something before Beverly knows about this."
I know Beverly is a witch"
"You have to get a contract wife" Timothy suggested snappily, clicking his fingers.
"What the hell is a contract wife?"
"Exactly what the word contract mean"
"How do I do that?
"I don't know Felix. There are many women to do that for you"
Tsk, that's a ridiculous idea, Tim
"How else are you going to do this? You hate commitment and everything about love and marriage. Tell me how you want to pull through this?" Timothy asked.
"I need to clear my head. I'm so confused with all of this right now", Felix said.
"Alright. There's a club in town and I must say they got the best booty", Timothy said naughtily.
"A strip club? He asked him
"Not just any strip club, the best bootie bitches around there give the best lap dance, and you even get to touch them privately."
"So how did you discover this so-called exquisite strip club?"
"That's a story for another day. Come on, let's go see some booties", Timothy said.
**********************************
CLUB DORIDEGO
There were strippers dancing both clad and unclad, there were different men in the VVIP section of the club, Felix and Timothy were taken by the ladies in the club.
"I must say you really have got a taste, Tim", Felix said to Timothy.
"I know man, I got a taste" Timothy replied, looking at the strippers dancing.
"You really need to see the main strippers. They call them the classical ladies"
"Indeed" he said as he picked up a drink from a waiter passing.
"Give it up for the classical ladies!" a voice said, hailing, as there was a round of applause, the stage got lightened as the music changed into a little mid-song. A group of ladies emerged on the stage as they began dancing. Felix is taken aback when he notices a beautiful, slim, tall girl dancing seductively with the pole. It seems she notices him too. She walks towards him, dancing around the pole near him. He is captivated and intrigued by her appearance and beauty. As she moves back to her other dancers, Timothy moved closed to Felix.
"She's beautiful, isn't she?" Timothy
"Yes, she's beautiful. I will make her my wife" he said. Timothy burst out his drink.
"What the hell?"
"You told me I needed a contract wife"
"Yes, definitely not a stripper".
"You see, my dear friend, this stripper will play the role so well for me", Felix said.
"How! You want to make a stripper your wife?
"There are so many women out there, you can get any woman to do this for you, definitely not a stripper."
"I can get any woman to do this, but you see this stripper, if offered enough money, will play the role effectively. Using another woman only gives them a chance to be part of my family and I don't want such to happen. I need something temporary, not permanent."
"This is a bad idea, Felix. You can't introduce a stripper to your family"
"There's nothing a touch of change can't do"
"Felix, believe me, this is a bad idea."
"I know but believe me when I say this is the right way", Felix said as he continued looking at the beautiful dancing stripper as she used the pole to outshow her body and beauty.
"How do I book a private section?" Felix asked Timothy.
"This is out of control. Felix, you can't do this!"
"I can, and I will, you suggested this to me in the first place."
"I did. I didn't say you should with a stripper."
"How do I book a section? Felix asked, Timothy was hesitant for a minute.
"Don't get me angry Timothy"
**********************
Felix was led into a private VVIP room. As he got into the room, the beautiful stripper was already waiting for him. Felix pours himself a wine as he watches how she shows her skills with her pole.
"I want you to marry me" he said boldly to her as she stopped, turned to look at him like he was drunk or high on drugs.
"Yes. Marry me. I will pay you twenty grand, half of it while you sign the marriage contract, you will get the other half when you are done, when I say so", Felix said to her.
"Are you high on drugs?" She asked him, withdrawing from him.
"I'm not interested" she said.
"Why won't you be interested? Whores get excited when they hear a huge amount of money"
The look on her face expressed hate and disgust for him.
"I'm not a whore"
"Oh please, spare me the talk. I need you to be interested, I want you to be my wife"
"You must be seriously out of your damn mind."
"I wish I was, but I'm not. I want you to marry me."
"For fuck sake, I don't know you from Adams."
"I just met you too. You are nothing but a stripper."
"Fuck you!" She said.
A security bouncer must have heard them. He walked into the room looking at them both.
"Is everything okay, Khloe" the security asked.
"Yes I'm fine" she replied as the bouncer left.
"Hmmm, so your name is Khloe. So Khloe. Do we have a deal? Felix asked
"Hell no!" She said as she walked out of the place angry.
"Damn bitch" he said.
KHLOE'S POV"He offered you twenty grand? Rochelle asked me"Yes he did""Oh wow, I would marry him for one grand" Rochelle said jokingly"Be serious. He was so annoying. He called me a whore, he said I was nothing but a stripper""He said all that? ""Of course he did, he had no respect for me, he just treated me like I was nothing""But Khloe have you met him before?""He can't just come out and all of a sudden ask you to be his wife""But he did Rochelle""That's weird. Common Khloe it's late. We should head home""I will go get my bag""I will be waiting outside"******FELIX POVFelix joins Timothy in a car parked outside the club."What happened? Timothy asked"She declined. The bitch declined. Who would she say no to such an offer?""Maybe this is sign for you to stop this madness""That's already too late, my mind is made up already" Felix said looking at of the tinted window, he saw Khloe and another girl walking out of the club"There she is" Felix said pointing at Khloe"Are
KHLOE’S POVLife at Felix’s mansion wasn’t easy going for me at all. My room was farther from Felix. I was keen on pretending to be his wife, the room was furnished with everything any woman wished to have. The wardrobe was filled with designer gowns, tailored plainsuits and different colourful couture pieces, the walk-in closets were lined with rows of designer's shoes and handbags of different paired with jewelries worth millions of dollars. Felix had a personal chef assigned to make my dishes, there were beauty and spa treatments whenever I wanted. All of these luxuries came alongside lots of abrupt rules and regulations from Felix.“On no account should you leave this premises without my permission”, Felix ordered.“Do not talk to any members of my family when they visit”“On no account should you enter my room.”“Don’t go through my stuff. I find it very pissing and annoying”“Do not invite anyone over to my mansion”Felix gave me strict orders and I had no choice other than to
FELIX’S POV“I gave you clear instructions not to invite anyone over”“I didn’t, she just came here herself” Khloe said, her eyes were frightened as if she had seen a monster.“You cannot invite your fellow pole dancer to my house, or you will ruin the entire plan.”“I gave you a simple order, and you went against it.” Felix said angrily, holding her by the neck.“I am sorry, but please let me go…..” Khloe begged. Felix was still holding her by the neck.“Let me go” Khloe begged as she was choking, holding Felix’s hand. Felix sighed bitterly, letting her go.“Am I disrupting something?” a staunch female voice asked from behind. Felix looked back, it was his stepsister Beverly. He was startled, he quickly pretended as if everything was okay for Beverly not to suspect a thing.“What are you doing here, Beverly?”“Oh come on, I have come bearing gifts for the newly wedded” she said as some workers entered with different hampers and gift items. Felix and Khloe were looking at the items.“
KHLOE’S POV“Wake up daddy. What the hell is happening?”“Get the doctor. Dad come on”, Stephanie yelled, calling for help.“Don’t you dare touch me you twitchy bitch”. Beverly shouted at me.“Do not talk to her in such a manner!” Felix defended me, not because he wanted to but for him to poise himself like the perfect husband.We arrived at the Bank’s family house for dinner. Stephanie hugged and received me passionately.“You look beautiful, Sis.”“I didn’t get to introduce myself properly the last time, the whole wedding thing between you and Felix just came all of a sudden, and it was hard to comprehend.”“Felix isn’t the marriage type, and it is so good to have you in the family”. Stephanie said to me. She seemed really real and lovely. I liked her.The dining table was set like that of royalty, the table was elegantly decorated and adorned with purple tablecloth with floral polka dots. At the center of the table sits a shining chandelier casting a glow over the tray of differen
FELIX’S POV Felix and his step-sisters quickly escorted the bed trolley out of the ambulance as some nurses and a doctor rushed his father into the VVIP ward. “We will take it up from here?” the doctor said to Felix as they went into the ward. “Will he be okay?” Stephanie asked, almost crying. She got no answer, the ward was closed. Felix pats Stephanie on her shoulders as she walks to get water. Beverly walks close to Felix outside the ward. They both looked at each other. “Have you come to gloat about yourself again?” he asked her. “Not at all.” “Then what do you want?” “My father is in there, I’m just concerned.” “You are only concerned about yourself.” “The lawyer told me” Beverly said to Felix. Felix was puzzled for a while and pretended as if he knew nothing of what she was talking about. “What do you know?” “I know the reason why you got married to that girl”. Felix smirked his lips out of disbelief. “How did you get him to tell you? “There’s nothing a hundred of d
KHLOE’S POV“We have a problem” I told Felix as I entered into his room, he had two girls beside his bed, they were both naked. The naked girls were looking at me with disgust for disrupting their show.“Can’t you knock?”“It’s important” I said looking away“Can’t it wait?”“Because as you can see I have my hands full” he said describing the girls he was with.“It is important” I said keenly, he ordered the girls out, they both walked past me naked eyeing me.“What could be so important this time of the morning?”“See listen Felix, I can’t sleep” I started, he was somehow puzzled at my statement.“What do you mean you can’t sleep?”“Do I look like a doctor to prescribe you some sleeping drugs?”“I think someone recognized me from last night’s auction” I said looking at his face, he was somehow disappointed.“What do mean someone recognized you?”“There was this man, I knew him back at the club and he seemed to recognize me”“Don’t concern yourself with that, it doesn’t matter” he sai
FELIX’S POV “I love you, Khloe,” Felix said to Khloe, who was seated beside him near the beach “I love you too, Felix,” Khloe said as she kissed him. They both kissed, caressed each other, and smiled at each other. “What the hell!" Felix spurted loudly as he woke up, breathing heavily. He checked himself under his duvet and discovered he’s hard as a rock. “What kind of goddamn dream was that” he said to himself as he got off the bed and went to his bathroom. As he showered, he wondered why he was dreaming about Khloe. “What are you doing?” he asked her as she found her painting in her room "Nothing” she replied, hiding behind the painting. Felix walks close to her. “Sorry. I didn’t mean to paint” Khloe said to him with a pleading face “I didn’t mean to. I was just bored and needed to do something” she added “That’s a nice painting” he said to her with a smile on his face. This was the first time he smiled at her. She just stood there, surprised, and as Felix smiled, he also wo
Felix sleeping with a random girl didn’t bother me, but sleeping with another man’s girl in an open place was rather demeaning. I thought about Alphonso the other night. I thought about how he felt. Felix was a beast, he choked me repeatedly for trying to speak against him. We hadn’t spoken since the other night. I remember kicking him in his groin for choking me. He had cried in pain. I had to run quickly to the driver to take me back home. “When will this damn contract end? I asked myself. “I miss talking with my son” “I miss him” While thinking about my son, I also thought of what Felix would do to me for kicking him that badly. He had left early this morning. It seemed he had a business emergency. “He deserved it” “Selfish prick” I continued painting until I was informed I had a visitor. “A visitor?” I asked the guard. I was skeptical for a while. “Was it Rochelle?” I thought. No, it can’t be her, she wouldn’t come back after the last experience she had with Felix. I qui
