Marriage Contract

  I booked the VIP lounge yesterday.

So I will be able to talk to that girl somewhere private.

When we got to the entrance of the restaurant, the receptionist finally directed us to the VIP lounge.

I went upstairs with the girl following me behind.  

I just can't believe that this was the girl yesterday. I praised her for being different from her other friends in the club.

After what happened yesterday evening, I can say she is more dangerous than her other colleagues.  

When we both got to the VIP lounge,

The room was beautifully arranged, and it had an open window where one could see the beautiful water flow.  

After we sat down, the waiter came to us to collect our order.   

I ordered fried rice and a bottle of red wine since it was a non-alcoholic drink, and it would be for the baby.

And she had other fried rice too.

The waiter took the menu book and left our table.

There was total silence among us,

As I stared at the woman sitting opposite me.

In truth, she is just like a beautiful goddess with her small crimson eyes, dark brown curly hair, pale skin, and thin eyebrows.

Even though she was putting on loose clothing, she still looked good.

When she glanced up at me, my heart started to beat very fast.

 I won't lie, my enemies truly know I love good things.

That is why they chose this goddess in human form opposite me to be my trap. 

 My observation was cut short by the waiter who came inside with our food.

After he placed the food, I ordered him to leave,

which he did.

 You told me you wanted us to talk.

That is why I followed you here, but since we came here you haven't said anything.  

She said while looking at me and I must say she must have gathered a lot of courage to talk to me like that while looking at me right inside my eyes.

We will talk after we finish our meal.

Right now I am hungry and all I want to do is eat my food.  

When I said I was hungry, I thought I was starving, but no, I was wrong because the way she was eating showed that she had never eaten this type of food before.

Which made me stop eating and look at how she was eating.

Within a few minutes, she was done eating, and I was shocked.

Do you need more food?  

Can you order more food?

No, thanks, this one is okay for me.

  Are you sure? 

Yes, thanks.

Don't worry about the bills, I will pay for everything.  

Thanks, I am full and there will be no need for more food.

Okay, if so, say so.

Can you tell me now who paid you to sleep with me?  

What do you mean by that?

 What I am saying is, I know very well that someone must have paid you to spend the night with me that day, so I am asking who did?

If you tell me the person, I promise to pay you double the amount the person paid.

I might not be rich like you, but that doesn't mean I will sell my dignity, conscience, and peace of mind for money.

I know you are telling me all these things because you are a coward who doesn't want to accept his responsibility, but let me make this clear to you.

 No one paid me to sleep with you, but rather, you were the person who could not keep that thing between your two legs in check.

 Eh, I won't sit down here and watch you inside me.

Do you understand? You should be grateful you are carrying my child in that stomach of yours.

If not, I would have sent you to your maker this instance.  

I'm scared.

Let me tell you,

You don't scare me even one bit.

I thought you called me here to take responsibility for the pregnancy and here you are trying to intimidate me.

  If you don't have anything else to say, then please, I have my job to continue.

  I must say, I never knew that the slow and fearful lady at the club could be this fierce.

I like her and, from the look of things, this is the type of person my stepmom will need for a daughter-in-law, someone who will put her in her place.

 Please sit down, and I am sorry for the way I spoke to you.

I thought my enemies sent you and that is why....

Anyway, let's talk about why I brought you here.  

I would like you to be my wife.

But before you start celebrating that you have won a jackpot, let me inform you that we will be married for 9 months.

After you give birth to the baby, we will then divorce and we can go our separate ways.  

Alright, I accept, is that all?  

Before anything happens, you will need to sign this marriage contract.

Because as a business person, I don't trust anyone to keep to his or her words.

  I said and handed her the marriage contract.

And without her even going through the contract, she signed it.

  Why did you sign it without going through the paperwork first?

There is nothing for me to go through because I am sure whatever thing you write there will be in the interest of you, me, and our baby.  

You sure do have a lot of confidence in me, don't you think so?

Was I wrong to have so much trust in you? She asked.

There was silence for a short period.

 Meet me tomorrow at 8: am at the Marriage Registrar's office.

Take this $200,000.

Buy something good and classic to wear when you are coming to the registrar's office tomorrow.

 Don't forget to quit your job at that club today.

The wife of Laurel Goldman can't be seen working at a club.

  After that, they both walked out of the restaurant, and he went and dropped her back at her workplace, and he drove back to his office.

Exclusive Club Building.

 When she got to her workplace, all eyes were on her, but she just ignored them because from tomorrow she would be the wife of Laurel Goldman, the richest man here in Los Angeles.

  She had indeed won a jackpot.  

She walked to Nick's counter, and he was looking at her with so much concern.

 Did he hurt you?

Tia. No, he didn't, rather he made my dream come true.  

What do you mean, Tia? Well, he asked me to marry him. She said in a low tone so that only he could hear what she was saying.

 What!  

Yes, but how is that possible?

Well, I don't really know, but all I know is that I am carrying his baby in my womb.  

What do you mean by that you don't know?  

The truth is, one of these girls set me up with him one night, and we spent the night together and now that I am pregnant he has decided to take responsibility by getting married to me.  

But Tia, you don't love that guy and the same as the guy he doesn't love you.  

That is not a problem.

As long as he takes good care of the baby and me, the love will come after.  

Well, it seems like your mind is already made up. No matter how hard I try to convince you, it won't change your mind.  

You are right.

Well, that is $50,000.

  I want you to take it and take care of yourself.

Tiara, where did you get this type of money?

My baby's father gave me some money, so that is why I am giving you this one to say thank you for always having my back at this workplace.  

It is nothing, Tia.

 Well, let me go ahead. I will see you later. Alright, take care.

 Are you okay?

  I overheard from the girls that one of our customers took you out.

Jane asked, looking really concerned.  

Yes, I am okay.

We just went out to talk about that's all.

Ahh! Thank God I thought something bad had happened to you.  

No, I am fine.

Alright, I just came to check up on you to see if you are okay, but are you sure you are okay?  

Yes, I am fine.

 After Jane left, I walked to the boss's office and knocked, and he told me to come in and when I did, he was working on his computer, but when he saw me he stopped what he was doing and looked at me.  

Do you need anything, Tiara?

Yes sir, please sir, I came here to resign.  

What?

But why?  

It was just a few days ago you begged me not to remove you from your work, and now you want to resign?

Sir, there is nothing wrong, just that I don't want to work at this club anymore.

  Are you sure that is what you want?

Yes sir.

Alright then take this paper and sign your resignation letter.  

After I collected the piece of paper, within 15 minutes I was done writing the resignation letter, so I handed it to him and I walked out of his office.

  I heard from somewhere that someone just got sacked by the boss and I think she deserves it for always claiming to be righteous when she is not.  

I really wonder what her crime this time around was.  

I am sure she misbehaved with the customers who came for her today and the poor man had to call the boss to report again.

But I thought that man was your regular customer, Caroline.  

Why did he choose? But, Tiara this time around, another girl asked.  

Haven't you heard the story of when a man has an old toy he will dump the old toy and go for a new one?

How dare you compare me with Tiara.  

What?

is she lying?

Aren't you an old toy? Don't worry, I have decided to listen to your advice so don't cry later when you are alone, and I promise to take good care of him so that he won't want his old toy again. 

Tiara how dare you, she raised her hands to slap me, but to her surprise, I held her hand.

You know what, I just resigned, which means I can beat the hell out of you and no one will ever stop me, not even the boss again.  

I have been warning you, but it seems you don't like the fact that you have one leg.

You want to have one hand too.

  I said as I bent the hand she raised to slap me.

All her other colleagues who were with her were afraid, and they all shifted behind while she kept shouting in pain.

Tiara, please let her go.

Do you want to break her hand?

She is lucky Jane came to her aid and I left her hand and walked out of the club.  

When I was out of the club,

The only thing that was on my mind was to go buy the dress and then go to my small apartment and sleep.

  I went to a fashion store where I picked a simple white gown which was at my knees level and had some small white jade on it, then black heels and sandals and both of them cost $85,000, which I paid, and I then went to the hair salon where I had to change my brown curly hair to black straight hair.  

When hairstylists finished styling my hair I was out of words when I looked at myself in the mirror because it was like it wasn't me again.

I looked breathtaking in my new hair.  

And I must say I look like the daughter of a rich man now.

After I paid the hairstylist, I left the place for my small apartment with my stuff in my hand.

I open my door and enter inside.

I went to the kitchen and took the remaining food and ate it.

Since I was tired, I could not watch television, so I went to bed praying for the next day to come fast.
