My younger brother walked into my office and swung him legs on my desk.

I looked it him slightly irritated.

"Anthony what is it?", I asked him.

He shrugged, "Oh just came to see how you're doing, nothing serious", he said with a devilish grin on his face.

I dropped my pen

"What?".

"What?", he asked back.

"What's that grin on your face for, I know you too damn well so start talking", I said

He chuckled, "I hear Dad's giving the company to me if you don't find a wife by next month", he said.

I rolled my eyes, "In your dreams Anthony", I said returning back to my work.

"You're afraid to admit it but you know it's the Truth, you've lost this one. I have a wife whose pregnant already and you're still sleeping with hoes".

"Unlike you I plan to marry for love and not a woman that I give no shit about", I said.

He laughed loudly mocking me.

"Marry for love? awwn, look where that's gotten you. Sometimes I wonder if you're actually the older one between the both of us.

You're so myopic, open your fucken eyes man, this woman want nothing but your money and you're not getting love, so find a damn woman to settle down with, else trust me I will not hesitate to take this company from your hands ".

"You have zero idea on how to run a company ", I said.

"I don't care if the company crashes to dust, as long as I beat you to it in this one? that's more than enough satisfaction ", he said and stood up to leave.

That's how me and Anthony live our lives, he thinks everything is a damn competition but it's not. In as much as I hated it, it kept me on my toes, made me work harder and never quit.

He walked out and banged the door behind me.

I sighed and picked up my phone.

"Yo Steph, that your cousin that you said was coming in to the country and shit, can you give me her number".

Rebecca, her name was Rebecca.

She was nice, she had a lot going for herself and she just needs money for the capital for her business.

"Okay enough about me, tell me about yourself", she said.

I chuckled, "Honestly there's nothing much to know, unlike you I don't have so much adventures and stuff, just me and my work".

"Okay, so if we're going to make this fake marriage thing work, cuz I guess you can tolerate me I guess and I think you're good looking, we have to make sure there's no secrets in this okay? so tell me everything I need to know about you that could ruin this whole thing".

I'm into men, I think I like men more than I like women and that's probably why I can't settle down.

Also I think I find my bodyguard attracted,but of course I'll never say that.

instead I said," I'm not gonna be faithful heaven knows, I go to sex parties a lot, I think that's probably why I can't settle down or think about being faithful to a woman"..

She started laughing, "Oh my God that is so messed up, but c'mon it's a fake relationship, I don't care who you fuck, hell we could even go to these sex parties together ".

Okay she's pretty cool

"Oh I don't know, you know all these movies that they start it up as a contract then start to fall in love and shit", I said.

"Trust me I will not fall in love with you ".

"And why not? aren't I sexy enough?", I joked.

"Of course you are, damn I'm going to flex you as my husband, but I won't because that's my pen secret that could probably jeopardize this whole marriage thing ".

"And what's that?".

"I'm a Lesbian ", she said.

I looked at her shocked, "Wow I did not see that coming ", I said and started laughing.

"I know right? my parents are strict catholics, they'll bury me Alive if they ever find out. That's one of the reasons I'm fucking with this whole marriage shit idea, so I can finally flirt around with women publicly and no one gets the idea cuz I'm married".

"That's perfectly fine to me, we could actually make this work, and you're pretty cool, you're beautiful and you're into women which means I can fuck who I want to without thinking about hurting your feelings, this is actually perfect", I said.

"So, what's next? meet your parents? meet your lawyer?".

"My lawyer first, we sign a contract and all, you meet my parents, say we're engaged and then I give you the money to start your business, we plan the wedding before the end of next month and do our thing ", I said.

"I'm so fucking with this idea honestly ", she said.

"But we need a story for my parents to believe it's real. After my ex cheated on me, you were there for me, even before then but I didn't want anything to happen because I wanted to be faithful to her and all, realized you were the real woman for me, blah blah blah rest is history ".

"Okay that could work, but I'll be going back to London next week, haven't fully relocated yet, still have some things to tidy up, immediately I get back I can meet your parents ", she said.

"Deal", I said.

"This ends all in a year right?", she asked.

"If after a year we're still cool, we can extend the contract a little until one of us is ready to settle down", I said.

"That's good to me".

We started eating and talking about some other random things about work and life and all and I started hearing an argument at the door.

Asher was in a heated argument with someone who was trying to get in.

"Asher what is it?", I asked.

"Sebastian!!", I heard a very familiar high pitched voice scream.

I rolled my eyes and sighed.

"Let her in", I said.

Veronica stormed into the room.

"What the fuck is going on here?", she asked fuming.

"Rebecca, met Veronica Starfox, my ex. Veronica meet Rebecca Wilson, my new Fiancee", I said with a smile on my face
