Adonis sent Leah over to his villa and she was shocked as to how a single person could live in such a luxurious house all by himself with his servants .
"Okay Leah ! We're home ! Welcome to my villa ! If you need anything , just tell my servants and they will be available to serve you at any time !
But for now , make yourself comfortable here and don't be shy!" He said nicely and she only answered with a simple nod .
The night went well for Leah and after many days of wandering , she slept peacefully on the soft cushioned bed with all the comfort.
In the morning , she saw a pack of clothes and accessories on the couch and she quickly clad herself in it after a warm bath .
She rushed downstairs to meet Adonis .
"Good morning , sir !"She stood behind the dining chair like a little girl .
"Good morning Leah ! How was your night?"He asked , while taking a bite of his asparagus bruschetta .
"It was okay ! I had a good night sleep ! "Leah simply said and took a seat directly opposite to him .
"Umm! Leah .."
"Yes sir ...!"She drew her chair closer .
"Just call me Adonis ! "He added simply .
Sitting down for a while ,she finally decided on what to eat and there ,her eyes landed on the baked spinach pancakes in tomato gravy.
After breakfast ,they both moved to his study where she took a seat ready for lectures .
"Okay Leah !
As agreed , I'm going to take care of your mother's hospital and treatment expenses as long as you help me .
So here ...!"He pushed a photograph across the desk .
"That's my father !"He said simply . "He's Baron Mason!" He added and Leah nodded .
" My father wants me to get married ! For him , marriage ensures a man's responsible life and he isn't ready to accept the fact that I'm not at all interested in marriage !
So I need to send you home to meet him and this way , he would believe that I'm ready to settle down with you !
Mind you ,he's a very tactical man and so everything we do or say myst he calculated."Adonis explained .
"That's all ?" Leah asked .
"Yes yeah ! I just want to use you to create that responsible impression he wants if it will get me to have my sole hands finally on the Mason's Incorporation!" Adonis added .
"Okay , not so hard!"Leah added confidently .
"But there's a problem !"Adonis hesitated .
"What kind of problem ?" Leah asked curiously .
"My dad would want me to bring home someone in our league . No offense but what I mean is ; one of the daughters of his business associates
Creating business alliances have always been his addiction !"He revealed , hoping she wouldn't change her mind . "But Leah !
I've always got a plan B!" He said and took a seat by her on the couch .
"What plan is it ?"She asked calmly .
"If my dad wants me to bring home someone of his status then I'd need to make you look like one ; like an A-lister ."Adonis introduced ."Don't be worried about that since it's only going to be a temporary something !
I'll take care of that !
Yours is to use luxurious cars , wear expensive clothing lines and learn our style of living ,talking and how to welcome guests at prominent events!
I know it wouldn't be a problem for you since you're well educated ..." he paused .."You were the valedictorian for your batch right ?"He asked ,like a proud big brother and Leah nodded.
After a while of giving it some thoughts, "Okay! That's no problem !"She said and he loved how confident and optimistic she was .
"Okay then ,if it's fine with you , then I've arranged for some models downstairs to take you through everything you need to know."
"I'm ready so let's get started now !"Leah said , her eyes filled with optimism.
Days passed and Leah was doing well with her training .
She learnt quickly and Adonis got impressed by her every act .
Adonis stood in his gardens quietly ,he had a long day .
Leah walked behind him gently and put a light hand on his shoulder .
"Dinner is ready .."She said softly ,her voice laced with perfection that somehow run through his thoughts.
Adonis turned to look at her, for a second ,he said nothing ,he let his eyes do the talking.
"You didn't have to come all the way out here to tell me ."He said ,finally ,his tone was soft and sensual.
Leah smiled faintly ,"Maybe ,I wanted to make sure that you actually eat .
You've been pacing back and forth in this garden for almost an hour now ."
"You've been keeping track ?"
"Someone has to ..."She replied with a giggle .
"You know ,if I didn't know that this is contractual, I would have thought you're indeed my wife ."
"Well ,if I were your wife ,I'd probably be nagging you to sit down and have dinner ,instead of inviting you ."Leah tilted her head ,surprised at herself .
Adonis chuckled ."And if you were my wife ,I'd be probably be out here just to make sure you're looking for me ."
Leah shook her head with a soft laugh .."You're impossible. "
"Maybe !"He said ,his gaze lingering on her a little bit longer before he took forward .."But you came anyway. "
Leah didn't answer that ,she walked back quietly ,the hem of her dress brushing the grass .
Once at dinner ,Leah had her eyes fixed on eating the roasting veggies .
Without a word ,Adonis reached across and grabbed the plate of Salmon fillet in front of Leah .
He sliced the fillet and removed the skin before chopping it into a perfect bite .Leah looked closely and admire the man .
She raised a brow and cleared her throat .."You know ,for someone who insists this is contractual ,you're behaving a lot like a husband right now ."
His lips curved slowly.."Maybe ,I have good manners ."
"Or maybe ," she teased ,"You're enjoying this a little too much ."
Adonis didn't say anything immediately, all he did was dig his fork into a piece of salmon and leaned it close to her mouth .
Leah blinked.."Wait ,you're not seriously ..."
"Open .."His voice was low yet sounded commanding ,the kind that gave no room for arguments.
She hesitated, then parted her lips just enough for him to feed her and he watched her savour the favour from the dish .
He followed up with some asparagus and she took it in calmly .
"Good ?"He asked ,handing her a glass of fruit juice .
Leah swallowed and forced a small smirk .."Not bad ,I could get used to this."
Adonis leaned back in his chair ..."Careful Leah Flair ,you might start forgetting it's just a contract ."
