CHASING HIS CONTRACT WIFE

Chapter 2 Sophia's POV"You expect me to Marry you?" I asked storming into his office furious, his secretary following behind me.After the conversation with my Dad, he had made me more angry when he had sad I had no other option, I was going to take that.There he was, my nemesis, the face I had been avoiding for the longest time.Bran Garner."Sophia, we meet again, it's a pleasure." He said, his face stoic, he signalled his secretary to leave.I had ran all the way to his office, my anger seething, I didn't know what I was going to do when I got here but I knew I wouldn't leave till he took back his deal."There's nothing good about this meeting Bran, what was that rubbish you did with my father? How could you go so low?" I asked, my body shaking with rage.He looked at me without saying anything, his expression bored."He told you? I didn't expect it to be this fast." He said and continued rubbing his chin."Huh?" I asked not believing he would keep my father in a

Bran's POVI watched as she danced with her father and few other guest, I knew she was trying her best to look like the happy bride, but she was failing woefully at it.Her back was hunched, her dance steps were lazy and she still carried that sad expression on her face."I honestly thought you were joking about marrying Sophia, turns out it is serious, how did you get her into agreeing to this after so many years?" Ken my best friend asked as he took his spot, next to me."Man, I honestly don't know how I did it but it worked." I said and continued looking at her."She's all grown now, although she still scares me but she's more beautiful now." "That's my wife man." I said swatting his arm."My apologies." He said mock bowing.He was right, Sophia Tyler was the scariest 19 year old I had ever met, she feisty and I wondered were all that went.We had met when her father's business was doing really well and he had not started his gambling habit, he supplied my own f

I clenched my left hand against my dress after I dropped the call with my dad. Bran had already stepped out of the car and I stepped out of the car too, in quite a hurry to get an answer from him on why he tricked me and my dad into giving up the rights to our company. “Bran!” I yelled out as I walked over to where he was, all fueled up and ready to demand an answer immediately. He suddenly turned and pulled me by the waist, closer to himself and whispered into my ear.“Shhh, remember we have an interview and an image to put up for the media,” Bran said, determined. “You tricked me and my father!” I said through my teeth immediately with anger but in a low tone as I struggled to break away from his firm grip on my waist but failed.“Remember, your family’s reputation is in my hands so stick to the plan,” Bran said and released me from his grasp. I quickly found my balance and adjusted my dress as the lady who was to interview us walked up to us with a broad smile on her face. “Mr

“Ah, there they are,” Tom said as we both came down the stairs, as a lovely couple. Bran took his seat at the table and I sat next to him while Tom sat opposite us. “I am still quite surprised that you two ended up getting married. If I recall correctly, you both faced a difficult issue years back,” Tom said, pretentiously concerned.“It was not quite difficult enough to put an end to the love we have for each other Uncle Tom, the past shouldn’t matter but the future,” Bran said and caressed my hand gently and I smiled back. “You’re right, I was just being concerned about Sophia ... you know she had it worse during that time” Tom continued. Bran quickly glanced at me and hoped what his uncle said didn’t trigger me to act out. “Thank you for the concern Tom, but I can tell you that we have resolved those differences and now I hope to create a future with Bran,” I said and smiled at Bran as he smiled back, satisfied with my response. “Well, I wouldn’t press further if you feel so.

Pierre arrived at the company’s building and opened the door to the backseat. I stepped out and hurried off into the building and headed straight for the meeting room where the board meeting was about to be held.“Thank you all for gathering for this emergency meeting at such short notice. As you all know, recent developments have prompted this meeting,” Tom said and took his seat at the center of the table. “Developments, Uncle Tom? Or should I say a well-planned crisis” I asked as I opened the door and walked into the office. All eyes were fixated on me, some of the board directors who had been bribed by Uncle Tom couldn’t maintain proper eye contact with me as they didn’t expect me to come over so soon.“Bran, let’s maintain a proper understanding as the purpose of this meeting is to decide on the future of this company,” he said.“There are questionable decisions and potential risks that have emerged under your tenure Mr Garner,” one of the directors said as he gestured towards
