"Oh my god!" I exclaimed, looking down and palming my forehead in frustration with my eyes closed. " What a request! He wants to Marry me, why?
Why? I mean, why does he want to marry me? Oh my god!" My mind quickly ran into some wandering thoughts as I stared at him while he kept pacing slowly.
"I thought this man was really being kind. Why are some billionaires always being this cruel to poor people?" my mind kept wandering with questions that had no response while staring at him downwardly with a gaping mouth as he kept pacing slowly in his office with his hands inside his pants.
"And," he said, clicking his tongue and tilting my face with his right index finger up through my jaw, bending to my level and whispering, "Don't be afraid. There is nothing I will use you for and I'm not going to marry you for too long" he let out evil chuckling and scoffed before continuing.
"I only want to use you and receive one of my contracts that requires married men to handle it, not bachelors.
So, you will only need to act like my wife for 2 years while living with me. Then, I will settle you after two years and send you away"
I swallowed the heavy saliva that was balling in my mouth and blinked my eyes again and again after his statement, trying to let what he had just said sink into my brain as he let go of my jaw and paced.
"Contract Marriage?" I asked, muttering in my mind as I tried to catch up with the whole scenario but got distracted by his cold, deep, enraged voice.
"if you accept it, then, all of your needs will be met and if you don't accept it, your sister's life will be at stake because it depends on you now," he said with a wicked smirk on his lips, breaking the silent mode that we unfortunately ran into because of thoughts.
My heart throbbed faster after he mentioned my sister. " Oh my god, Malia, why did you run into this kind of situation that ended up putting me into this tragedy? Shit! I'm dead," I exclaimed as my mind kept wandering with frustrating thoughts.
"My life is also at stake and horrible, living with him. He seems cocky, proud, wicked, and ruthless. What if pregnancy occurs, how am I going to do with the baby when he sends me out
Who will feed the baby? Or is it that little money that he would settle me with; that I would use to feed the baby?" The thought of pregnancy kept running in my brain and adding to my sister's problem, causing my mind to become chaotically confused.
"What if pregnancy happens within the contract time, what are we going to do?" I finally asked after a while of contemplating and insinuating as my whole body quivered, my mind couldn't calculate anything again.
He trailed himself in my direction after my question. His face tightened, and his jaw clenched together as his eyes almost sent me to hell because of the cold glare he strutted at me. "Who mentioned sex here? Did l?" He asked harshly, and I quickly flung my head in response.
"I can't have sex with a punk like you. You won't have the energy to handle my sexual power." He added, growling at me with gritted teeth, glaring.
A sense of ease creeps through my heart after hearing his words as I let out a deep, silent sigh and palm my chest to calm down my throbbing heart.
Immediately, my phone buzzed, cutting my attention to it. I quickly grabbed the phone with a quivering hand after wiping the tears that were drifting down from my eyes as I couldn't control it again.
Opening it, I saw Selena's message and began to read it. "Shit! What a world! Am I to lose another person in my life again? Oh!" I exclaimed after reading and let out the crying that was boiling in my throat, but he shushed me up as my voice became audible.
"Shhh! Shut up!" He grabbed my jaw quickly and glared into my eyes, sending shocks of death to my spine. "Don't you know that there are people around us? What the hell is your problem?
You better go with this, or else your sister will die," he whispered with clenched teeth and threw my face away.
I looked down, closed my eyes, and let everything that Mr. Dickson said sink into my brain. "There's nothing I can do than to accept this right now to save my sister's life.
It would be so bad to lose my one and only sister because of selfishness after my parents had left me with her alone in this evil world. No, I can't lose her. "I have to," I mumbled quietly to myself after a while of thinking as I nodded my head.
"I have to agree with this to save my sister's life. After all, it's a year's contract; I will endure it." I nodded, mumbling and exhaling heavily. " I have agreed, sir," I said, looking away from his direction after summing up the courage.
He trailed himself again in my direction with his hands inside his pocket and stared at me. "Are you sure?" He asked, raising his eyebrows and I nodded.
"Yes, sir!" I answered, giving him a remorseful look. Sniffing and cleaning my eyes at the back of my palms.
He took a deep breath and craned his neck before taking out his phone and making calls. After a while, he turned to me and said, "Follow me." I stood up without a word and followed him.
We walked out to his car after passing through an elevator, and his driver drove us off as it was standing, steaming.
The car was filled with awkward silence, and my heart was beating rigorously faster in fear since I didn't know where he was taking me to, causing so many questions and thoughts of fear to run in my mind.
I cleared my throat after a while and earned a cold glare from him as I couldn't control the scary thoughts that were running in my mind.
His cold brown eyes sent shock and sensations of fear running down my spine. I cradled my teeth inside my mouth to calm my quivering body down. "Sir, please, where are we going?" I asked, stuttering and giving him a remorseful look.
