Contract Marriage with the CEO Who Secretly Loves Me

Episode 5

Three days later....

It was Friday, Elisa was distressed, because she still hadn't been able to contact Gisele, she believed that her mother had even changed her number. Another thing that hammered in her head was the fact that the contract had already been delivered to Christian, through the lawyer, but so far she had not yet received an answer, her fear was that the man would change his mind and end up trying against her father's life.

What Elisa didn't know was that Christian had already resolved all the marriage proceedings, it would be the next day, Saturday, only civil, without a party and without guests, just the judge and the lawyer as witnesses.

…

Christian had even signed the marriage document proving that the two were already married, but for the document to be valid, Elisa also needed to sign, however, he would only reveal himself to her after the documents were signed, because he knew that she would reject him at first when she saw him, he was 18 years older, he knew that he would never have her as a woman.

But for him, having her around was enough.

Christian is a former US Army Marine, he served for 12 years, it was a very dark time in his life. During this period Christian married and had a daughter, but the worst happened, a tragic accident claimed the lives of his wife and daughter. He, who was already an orphan of father and mother, found himself alone and lost again.

Christian was devastated, after that he drowned himself in alcohol, became a bitter and cold man. One day, Christian was passing by a nightclub, out of sheer curiosity he decided to go in, as always he drank it all that night. Completely drunk and beside himself, he decided to play a game, and incredibly he got it right, Christian became a rich man in a single night.

The owner of the club helped him, the man was already old and sick, he had no heirs, he saw potential in Christian, decided to help him with his alcohol problems and teach him everything he knew about the world of gambling, he also left him aware of all his business and assets, and after his death, he left his entire fortune to Christian, he became his sole heir.

In this, Christian became a billionaire, not even he himself believed that the man had done that, but the only condition that the man left in the will was that Christian assume his last name Fox, and continue his legacy, so he became the owner of all the clubs and other businesses aside.

Christian even thought twice before accepting all this, he didn't feel worthy of such responsibility, but since he could no longer question the deceased, he decided to seize this new opportunity that life had given him!

Since then, the business has only grown, he has practically doubled the number of assets, however, even with so much money and everything that money could buy, Christian was still not happy, he felt alone after all.

But, the burning question is? How did he meet Elisa? How did he become obsessed with such beauty?

About a year ago he started observing the behavior of a certain guy named Eduardo, Christian was always very observant and noticed that the man was very ambitious, he wasn't content with winning just once, he always wanted more, Christian realized that Eduardo even he cheated at the table, it made him suspicious, he decided to investigate the man's entire life, he wanted to know what Eduardo would be capable of doing, in this he discovered that the man was married, owned a small electronics company and had a daughter, Elisa Almeida, 19 years old at the time.

Christian felt his chest swell, he saw himself hopelessly in love with the girl, just with a photo, he began to desire her with all his might, it was a passion that hurt his soul, because he knew he could never have her.

A year passed and his passion only grew, he discovered everything about the girl, the college, the course, her love of reading, her dream of being a writer, sometimes he watched her from afar leaving the university, just by looking at her, his desire to have her grew, Christian was already getting lovesick for Elisa, without her even knowing he existed.

However, fate seemed to be in his favor, he who until then had only watched from afar decided to make a move with Eduardo, he knew that the man would accept, and this would be the perfect opportunity to have Elisa, even if it was only for one night.

He bet a million dollar amount, he knew that Eduardo was already on the verge of bankruptcy and would do anything to get the company out of the hole, and Christian was right, the man didn't think twice before accepting the proposal. Christian knew the tricks, it wasn't hard to win, then Eduardo himself practically offered his daughter on a platter to Christian, at first it would only be one night with Elisa, but after the father himself gave his daughter, he had the idea of proposing a one-year contract, who knows within that period he wouldn't win her over, and make her fall in love with him.
