The day before
*****
"Your friends are already having children and you don't even have a girlfriend" Mrs Graves started.
"Cause I don't need one" Zeke Graves interrupted.
"What do you mean you don't need one" she asked eyes pissed but calm not wanting her emotions to take over.
*Sigh*
"If you don't find a wife you cannot take over your dad's business!" she continued.
"Tell me where in dad's will that he said I must marry to take over the business?" he interrupted again coldly this time annoyed just wanting to leave the conversation.
"If you don't show up tomorrow with a partner I won't even think TWICE before giving your brother the position" Mrs Graves threatened before leaving the room.
Presently
**********
"Marry me" Zeke said
Lita was confused and taken a back, she never expected this man that she just met a second ago to be asking her to marry him.
" Sorry, I....I don't understand?.....I know u saved me but why do u want me to marry you?" She asked confused.
" That what I want in return for saving you, don't worry you'll be getting paid" Zeke answered coldly and straight forward not even sparing Lita a glance.
He finally turned to look at her but Lita wished he didn't, his eyes were cold and unreadable like an hungry wolf ready to chew his prey.
His eyes sent shivers down Lita spine.
"The rules are simple. You will live with me till our marriage day, you'll be paid anytime we need to be seen together as a couple, if I don't come home you are not allowed to call me, we won't have sex so don't request for it abd lastly you can ask for anything except from love". as he finished he turned away leaving Lita stunned.
Lita thought to herself how great of a deal this sounds and how she could finally help her grandma survive as she got lost in her thought for a minute or two a sudden chill sent her back to reality like she knew he was watching her.
"The marriage will only last for a year.....and everything I stated now must be obeyed STRICTLY" he said emphasizing on how strictly his words must be obeyed.
" So your saying I can ask you for money anytime I need it?" she asked trying to clarify what he just said.
" I'm sure I have stated that before" he answered coldly.
"Ok"
*Sigh*
"Guess we are doing this then" Lita said before letting out another sigh.
"Grandma this is for you" Lita said to herself before staring at the man that was sitting beside her looking as uninterested as ever.
Zeke felt like an eye was on him as he turned to look at Lita making her subconsciously look away.
"So are we doing this or not?" Zeke asked impatiently but calm.
"I guess so" Lita answered unsure of what she was actually getting herself into.
"You start tonight.....your job is very simple, make my mum like you.." he paused taking a moment to glabce at her with his bloodlust eyes "Mistakes aren't allowed" he finished before turning to the chauffeur " Drive" he ordered as the chauffeur slammed the gas pedal.
"To...tonight? Bu..but what of my family and friends don't I get to tell them about this?"
Zeke pretended not to hear her as he just looked straight ahead.
"Please I need to tell my grandma she'll be worried" Lita begged as Zeke finally glanced at her.
"You'll get to go home tomorrow to explain to your family and tell them about the wedding" Zeke said as their eyes met for a few second before he looked away.
Lita inhaled deeply before breathing out slowly.
" So are we going to meet your mom or...?" Lita asked trying to start a conversation with the human like statue sitting beside her.
"Getting you a new dress" Zeke answered.
" Wait what happened to what I'm wearing?" Lita asked feeling offended.
Zeke turned to, "You look..." He paused before weighing her from top to bottom.
" I look what?" Lita confronted feeling even more offended.
"You looked like you were picked from the road side" Zeke answered before turning away.
Lita scoffed shrugging his words off.
" We are here sir" the chauffeur who has been feeling all the chills in the air finally spoke.
The chauffeur got down from the front seat walking straight to the left side of the car where Zeke sat and opened the door.
"Need to be begged to get down from the car" Zeke asked coldly
"What a gentleman" Lita said sarcastically glaring at Zeke before faking a smile that faded quickly.
