Seventeen- Unlucky
Did I hear it right? A future wife? Me? You are kidding me. People are murmuring. Calm down, Heather. They do not know who I am. You still have time to run. I look straight at Alexander, and he was staring back at me from the stage. I am panicking right now. He moved from stage and walked towards my direction. Oh, no. He is nuts! Isn’t he? What is he trying to do? I stand up, ready to run when he gently grabbed me on my arm.
“Where are you going?” He whispered in my ears.
I can feel his warm breath on my ears and neck.
“Let go of me this instant, or I’ll scream.” I lower my voice while I gritted my teeth.
“I told you to cooperate with me just this onc

Fuming inside. That's how I describe my emotions now towards this egotistical man and myself. Yes, me. I hate the fact that he was overbearing just because he has a lot of money and POWER. And I resent myself for agreeing to this contract. But the sad and bitter truth is that I really needed this opportunity to gain my goal faster than doing several part-time jobs. Similarly to how the saying goes, “Games are all about taking risks.” The moment I agreed on with the contract was already a risk. All I have to do is play along until the end to win. To be free. I thought. So, I composed myself and my thoughts and words. And replied, “All right.” Alexander smirked and we were silent again.A knock on the door interrupted the silence between us. “Come in”. Alexander with his usual cold tone. “Sir, we have to get out of the hospital, reporters were already at the entrance.” A broad shouldered man in a

We arrived at Alexander's house. Ray has access and left me inside. He did not give me any instructions.I stood and stare at the bachelor's pad. This was my second time crashing here, the only difference was this house will be my temporary crib for our ridiculous contract.So, what should I do? I should call Sophia. Should I or should I not? I turned on my cellphone and I got twenty missed calls from unknown numbers. This is a nightmare.But surprisingly, I saw the name of my Aunt Rita. Four missed calls from her. This is new. Is there an emergency? I immediately called her, and she answered it with a cheerful tone. “Oh! Heather! You sly fox. Why did you not tell me that you have a rich guy? He also mentioned that he paid our debts.” I do not know how to respond to that. Then she added, “I really do not get it how did you manage to catch a rich and handsome guy, but I must say you did a good job

The night has passed, and I was unable to sleep properly. Do not get me wrong, the couch were comfortable enough and way better than my bed, it's just hard for me to sleep when thinking many things.I checked my phone, and it's already six in the morning. I have unread mails and unread messages.Furthermore, I have checked my mails first. It says that I have paid my personal loan plus its interest fully. My eyes widened, and my heart was jumping.“Wow” I heard myself muttered this word.The contract is real. I have to be responsible on my decision. I have to be serious on this contract or else, be imprisoned for breaching the contract.Then, I received an e-mail from the Writer's Luck that says,Dear Miss Russell,This is just an additional instruction from the previous mail we have sent you.

CEO MEETS HER Twenty One-- The Start
The afternoon light was warm, but Alexander's aura was chilly. We were at the back seat of his car while Grayman drove our way back home. The mood was quiet and unbearable. I glanced to see his face. It appeared that Alexander was not in the mood to talk what happened back in the café.Then he broke our silence without looking at me, “what are you looking at?” he sounded more harsh than usual.“I wasn't.” I lied. I wonder how did he know that I am at the café. Or It was just a coincidence?“I'll talk to you once we get to my house,” the hostility in his voice was too obvious.We get into his house, he told me to wait in the living area. I sat on his couch and waited for him. He came out of his room and was already holding an envelope. When he was close, he threw the envelope on the table and said, “sign it.” Then, he sat in the oppo

One week has passed since the signing of our contract and nothing has changed between Alexander and I. He is always giving me the cold shoulder, which I absolutely understand. I tried not to engage with him as much a possible. The less we talk, the less we will argue. I tried to be distant and nonchalant to him to have a peaceful mind and life. During breakfast, I did not expect that Alexander would be at the house and will eat his breakfast. I do not usually see him during the day or throughout the day. So seeing him was somewhat awkward. I went straight to the pantry without greeting him and made myself a hot chocolate. I am not certain if it was all right for me to sit on his opposite direction, but I still did it nonetheless. He did not say anything nor looked at me. He was busy reading something on his laptop. Beside his laptop was his coffee and untouched burrito and French toast soaked with honey. To be honest, I am drooling inside.&nbs
CEO MEETS HER Twenty Three- The Visit
The day of the first act has arrived. Alexander planned this day to be smooth. And this morning he hired a stylist for me. His name was Evan. He has a very slender figure and pink, smooth long hair. He has a unique sense of style. And I was relieved that the stylist he hired was nice. The stylist asked me what I want, and I told him that I want a simple and comfortable to wear. Not too fancy. And I also told him that I do not want anything on my hair. I want it loose. Just my normal hair. And he understood it quickly. Evan and his glam team helped me from my dress to my hair. Finally, we settled to a mini black dress. It looks elegant and comfortable to wear. I also remembered that Evan gasped and said, You are gorgeous, honey! Now I know why he chose you. Congratulations on your engagement.”I do not know what he meant about it, but I just said, “Thank you mister Evan for your help. Sorry for the inconvenience.”He s
CEO MEETS HER Twenty Four- The Supper
Dinner was supposed to bring people together. Tonight's dinner was not the typical one I have encountered. I can sense the stabbing eyes and airy energy in my face. Their piercing eyes caused me discomfort. The idea of me being present here was a mistake. I wished to end my contract with Alexander, but it was too late. I wanted to vanish onto my seat and forget about that feeling and forget about the money. A warm hand touched mine. Alexander's tender glance at me gave me a sense of safety. I tried to regain my composure once more and prayed to be alive after this. Jerry shook his head and said, 'Now, now.' My dear children, let's have a good supper with our special guest, Miss Heather, my friend. He looks at me with an apologetic eyes. I understood what he meant and smiled at him. Supper was served and everyone was now eating their food. “Father, I think we need to get to the point of this event. I don't want to waste any more time staying here. Let’s talk about the rudeness of m

The supper had come to a close and everyone started to leave. I noticed that Sophia was talking to Chad from across the room and took the chance to have a conversation with her. I walked passed the busy maids and approached Sophia. Chad excused himself.“Hey, Sophia..” I started so awkwardly. Sophia gave me cold shoulders and said, “What?” "How are you doing? I haven't had the chance to talk to you for quite some time now. You haven't responded to my messages."“Stop the act Heather.” She passingly said.“What are you talking about?” I was trying to understand our conversation.She leaned forward and whispered to me, "If you're truly my friend, you'll refuse Alex's proposal. He is the person I am engaged to."“Woah! Easy there Sophia. I had no idea what's happening right now. If I remember correctly, you don't want to marry him." I was in a state of confusion and was unable to convey to her that it was just a contract between me and Alexander.Sophia gritted her teeth and whispered,
