Chapter 4

Brianna's POV.

"Yes I am. Is there any problem?" I tried to sound very strong but I wasn't. 

My spirit had long left my body.

"Hmm fearless!" He cracked, turning to face me.

"Why did you call me here?" I asked, staring hard at him.

I looked at his very dark eyes that pronounced nothing but coldness.

"You have a pending dept missy and I'd love for you to pay up now"

"What the fuck are you talking about?" I almost yelled. 

"Nah. Don't raise your voice" he whispered walking closer to me.

His presence was so intimidating but I stood my ground.

He picked up a picture as he walked towards me and threw it on my body.

"I bet you'll understand now." The moment he said this I took the picture up to my face and almost screamed. It was the picture of the car I broke.

"You." I gasped.

"Yes me and I want my car fixed today"

"But you splashed the muddy water on me and you didn't apologize" I rasped and he chuckled.

"Yeah. I did but I don't see any damages, your skin still looks flawless and bright but my car is broken, so pay or else I'll call the cops now" his slow words came with so much wrath.

"Cops. There's no need for that good sir"

"It's good you know, now my money" he demanded.

I swallowed hard then raised my eyes to meet his cold dark eyes.

"How much is it"

"It's only but a million dollars" his italian accent did wonders to my ear.

"What your lying"

"You have a phone?" He asked and I nodded.

"Now search for the price of this" he said, giving a name written on a piece of paper.

I filled the long name that was written on the paper and searched for it..my jaw dropped automatically.

"Oh My God. I don't have such money".

"Yeah you don't. Even your salary for three years won't buy one that part of the car"

"Sir. Am really sorry for the damage done to your car, it was never intentional" I begged.

" I know, I know sweetheart but the damage has already been done" he said.

For a man who's in demanding for his money he looks calm. His face had this calmness that I just can't explain, I just hope my begging changes his mind.

"I know sir. I really want to pay you but I don't have the money"

"Ask your family members for help"

"Sir please I don't have anyone my parents will never give me such money if they ever had "I begged in tears.

"Baby doll. Your tears won't help you pay your debt. Hurry up with the payment or I'll call the cops.", He yelled at the last sentence and I fell on my knees.

"I really have no money but I'll do anything to pay, I'll work in your house until my debt is cleared, I'll wash you car, I'll do anything please don't call the cops on me. I can't bare staying in jail"

"You'll do anything?" He asked me, rethinking about anything, I mean any good thing but since he was about to say something I just swallowed hard and answered positively.

"Yes sir".

"That's great," he said standing up.

"You're a nice lady. You look good and am sure you'll make a nice wife"he smiled but I was confused.

"I do not understand sir."

"Marry me! You'll have to marry me for some months, that will do" He's words sounded like a slap on my face. I just watched him speechlessly.

"What do you mean marrying you?", I finally found my voice. He faced me with a very dirty glare.

"You'll just have to accept it missy"he rasped.

"And what if I don't?" I asked folding my hands underneath my breast.

When I said I could do anything, I meant I could do house chores and not get married to a devil.

"Then you'll have to pay me my money"he's voice came so loud and inferiorly to me.

"But I don't have such money I whined"

"Then face the consequences, you'll go to jail"

His words send shivers down my spine.

It isn't worth going to jail. Nothing is ever what it.

"You said it's just a few months' stuff right?"

"A year precise and I need an answer now"

"Wait. Why do you need a wife? Like why?" I asked.

"That's not your business Missy." He ranted.

I've read and heard stories of how men marry to get something. This man wants to get something from marrying me and if am saying yes then I fucking need to part take in the gain.

"What's in for me?"

Diego's POV.

"What's in for me?" She asked and I arched my brow.

I just gave her a chance to pay her debt and she's asking what's in for her. Such audacity.

"You'll no longer owe me a dime" I said and she laughed.

I had to stay still for some moment, was my face not scary enough?

"Oh Mr. I know you'll get a lot of things from this. I fuçking know you'll get money and I can't do such a job for only a million" she cracked as I just watched.

"I'll do it but I need to get something out of it"

"Thirty million dollars, a house and a car. With this you don't need to beg"

"Hmm deal, so where do I sign?" she asked.

Fuck..I was expecting her to beg or whine maybe cry for hours but this girl is ready to sign. It's a good thing at least I'll get married soon enough

"This place tomorrow we are getting married" I stated.

Brianna's POV.

I knew there was no way out.

The man needs a wife and I need money.

It won't be that hard to act as a wife for a year but I feel so bad that I have to make money in such a way.

I feel I've sold my dignity. If I had the money I would have paid him and avoided all this.

Even if he's going to pay me to act as his wife. That doesn't mean I have to leave my crazy character out of it. That doesn't mean I'll let his voice and dark eyes make me feel inferior. I'm a woman and I'll stand my ground.

"Leave" he ordered.

I smiled at him "Bye hubby"
