A Contract With Him

“Oh shit.” Blakeley muttered and sat up as she read the text message she got from her fiance. Taking her time to process the message, she read it repeatedly and let out a gasp as she finally took it in. As her hands trembled, tears welled up at the corner of her eyes, she dropped her phone and exhaled, and the tears rolled down her cheeks. “Oh my God.” She muttered. The door to her room opened and she looked up to see her best friend. She gave Blakeley a confused look seeing her in that state, she rushed to her and Blakeley burst into tears. “Hey, what's wrong?” Malia, her best friend asked as she wrapped her arms around her. “Dylan broke up with me.” She cried. “What? Why? Did you do something wrong?” Malia asked and Blakeley shook her head in response. “Hey, it's going to be okay.” “No, it's not. We are getting married in two weeks, Malia, everyone knows about this, my parents are excited about it.” She replied and Malia sighed. “I really don't know what to say.” She mut

“Huh? I don't understand.” She said, confused.“Blakeley, I want to offer you a deal.”“How did you know my name? Did that lady tell… ““Your name is Blakeley Hunter, you are twenty-one years old with no achievements, you live in the local areas of Los Angeles, and all your life you lived from hand to mouth, you have a best friend named Malia and an ex-fiance named Dylan. He broke up with you and you found them together having sex, you got heartbroken and you ran into my car.” Alex explained cutting her off and her eyes widened in shock. “Wh… what?” She asked surprised.“I know a lot more about you than you can imagine and I know you would be interested in the deal I am about to offer you.” He replied and she stared at him for a while, curious about the deal and to understand what was going on, she nodded in response urging him to continue.“Your father does one or two shops to earn a living and your mother is a preschool teacher in a local school and you don't have a job.”“Can you

Blakeley sighed nervously in the car, at first she was so nervous but after the rules Alex gave her, she couldn't help but worry.She breathed out and Alex turned to her, he noticed she was tense and he placed his hand on her thigh, she looked at him and he turned away from her.He paid attention to his phone but didn't withdraw his hand from her thigh. The gown had a slit so he was touching her bare thigh. Blakeley stopped thinking about his family and diverted her thought to his hand on her thigh. He used his thumb to crease it and it made her heart flutter. Since he wasn't staring at her, Blakeley turned and looked out the window. She bit her lip to stop herself from smiling. They finally got into an estate and Alex withdrew his hand from her thigh, the car stopped in front of a White House and Blakeley became tense again.“Are your parents the president of the United States?” She found herself asking as they walked out of the car.“No.”“So why is it a White House?” She asked

She stared at the screen and watched as Malia smiled happily, she couldn't fight back her tears anymore, they streamed down her cheeks and she ran towards the stairs, she rushed up the stairs and ran into her room to cry her eyes out.******Blakeley heard a knock on her door and she slowly sat up, she picked up the tissue next to her and wiped her tears. “Who is it?” She asked.“It's Logan, ma’am.” She heard the old man respond and she sighed.“Come in.”The door opened and Logan walked in, he moved closer to her and bowed.“What is it?” Blakeley asked.“Would you like to have dinner in your… ““I am not hungry.” She cut him off.“But ma’am, you skipped lunch saying… ““I am not hungry, Logan. Shut the door on your way out.” She replied rudely and lay back on the bed, she pulled the sheets over her head and the old man sighed before walking out of her room.She felt bad for speaking to him that way but she really wasn't in a good mood. She was hurting because of what Alex said to he

“Tch.” Mrs. Xanders muttered as they stared at Blakeley lying peacefully on the bed.“She really passed out due to camera flashes. Isn't she used to it?” Mrs. Xanders asked Alex and he ignored her as he paid attention to Blakeley.After Blakeley passed out in the midst of the reporters, the guards carried her and passed through a different entrance and took her to a room. The venue of the party was a mansion, with a ballroom in it. The reporters got distracted by the arrival of another important guest, Alex’s family heard about Blakeley passing out and one of his guards led them to the room.She has been unconscious for about thirty minutes. Mr. Xanders got a doctor among the guests and he confirmed she was okay and she would wake up anytime soon. The Xanders were all present in the room waiting for her to wake up and they were all getting impatient.“Do we really have to wait here?” Dante’s wife asked and they glanced at her.“I mean the party is going on and we are missing a lot o
