A DO OR DIE 2.Ferdinand bit the side of his lips when he turned to see Melita standing, watching them.He had told her to stay inside and had promised to be back at once."Alexa, what are you doing here?" Melita's voice thundered.Alexa glanced at Ferdinand. "I came to see him.""See who? Are you insane?" She twitched towards her, raised her hand to pounce on Alexa, but Ferdinand gripped her palm in the air.She turned and glared at him. "You're too stupid too.""Even in my presence, you still curse him. Yet you keep bragging that he's your husband." Alexa cut in.Since Ferdinand was holding her right hand, she had to slap Alexa's face with her left palm."When it comes to marriage, you ought to pretend like you saw nothing." She warned Alexa who was wincing in pain.That slap came with lots of anger.Ferdinand finally let go of her hand and turned to Alexa. "Why not leave? Do you want to be slapped again?""Ferdinand.." she cried out."I paid you for this job, so please, don't inter
IN A PANIC.Lara crossed her legs while sipping from her glass of wine. Reyna was busy with the television. While Alexa was pacing round the room, scratching her head."You're gonna go mad soon, it's just a matter of minutes." Lara mocked and grinned.Reyna turned to Alexa. "Why are you panicking? Did anything happen to you?""That dude."Lara glanced at Reyna who returned the glance as well."Which dude?" They both thundered the question.She bit her lips. "Ferdinand, of course. He's just playing with my heart."A loud hiss escaped Reyna's throat, she rested her back on the sofa and focused her gaze on the movie.If she had known, she wouldn't have been interested at first. The fact that Alexa is after a married man keeps pissing her off. Not just a married man, but Melita's husband."What are you thinking? That he will leave Melita and focus on you huh? Just all of a sudden?" Lara questioned her."You don't understand Lara, that lady is really dealing with him because she's rich. Sh
*********EXCERPT FROM THE STORY************" Sign… ". One word. One command.Her eyes furrowed in deep anger which was revealed on her face. It wasn't hidden, Ferdinand noticed it himself.He picked up the pen and bent low while staring at the paper. This is so ridiculous to him." It's a contract. You will be my groom, just for sixty days… ", her loud but annoying voice echoed in his ear.She sat at the edge of the table, " I will hire you to be my groom, and I'll pay you immediately after the contract is over. Don't ever refer to me as your wife, because nothing is binding the both of us together."" No sex. No love. No kisses. No feelings. You are just a hired groom for sixty days. Live your life the way you want it, but not for these sixty days ", she narrated further.Her voice was so commanding but filled with bitterness." It's a deal, and must be done ", Ferdinand acceded and signed the contract.She nodded and let out a devilish smile.Ferdinand began creating enticing eve
HIRE A GROOMThe security stood at a side gazing at Melita as she strolled out of the car. He's sure the day's work has come to an end.With the look on her face, he is so sure that his boss isn't in a nice mood. It's vivid on her face.Melita stepped down from her car and walked painstakingly into the well-furnished apartment she had rented.The compound was so admirable and decorated just like the inner part of the building. She had spent a lot to make sure her apartment looked so delightful.She is a young billionaire who is working so hard to turn into a multi-billionaire in months to come. But unfortunately, she's an orphan, left with just a brother.As she stepped into the sitting room, Christina spotted her presence from the dining room. She rushed down to welcome her mistress.The expression on her face was dark, but she looked off it and headed towards her." You're welcome, ma'am Melita. How was your work for today ? ", Christina inquired after taking the handbag from her.S
SIGN… Carmelita stared at her portrayal through the mirror, wondering what she was going to do with a man under the same roof.Not even a spell will propel her to love the damn groom, she will never do that.Her brows knitted and then she let her lips stretch into a devilish smile. Melita is not known to be aggressive, but she will be one towards this groom of hers.She will treat him like a guard. He will find her abode uncomfortable for him that he will ever pray the contract comes to an end.Even after he leaves, he will never love to set his eyes on her. He will always recommend her to be the most hostile he has ever met.It will be a deal. It will be a signed contract, and he will never go against it.She will pay him immediately after the contract is over, and will never want to set her eyes on him again.After so many thoughts. Despite the tears she had wasted, she will hire a groom to achieve his aim.She has vowed to go to all extent just to make sure his elder brother gets
ANYTHING FOR MY BROTHER.The buzzing of her phone drew her attention, she grabbed it from her handbag to see that it was Christina on the line.She wondered if everything was okay with the call. While staring at the counsel as she took the pen and paper from her groom, she picked up the call." You know quite right that I'm not in the mood of picking up anyone's call at the moment, why are you tempting me ? ", She roared to the hearing of her housekeeper.The young lady has already studied everything about her mistress. She knows when she's annoyed and when filled with joy.Being with the groom is something difficult for her to do, but since she has no other option left behind, she needs to give in.Then believe it, ma'am Melita will change within this period. She's so sure of it." I got a call from the doctor just now. He commented on reaching you all these while but you aren't picking up your calls. Sir Vanda sent for you, he wants to see no one but you ", Christina announced throu
HER GROOM. HER GUARD. They were out of the hospital, Melita had decided to go see the priest before they left for home.She wants this marriage to take place in a few days to come. Keeping her waiting isn't what she needs at the point.While they drove to the priest's residence some miles away from the big building which was known as the church, she parked the car in the garage and they both alighted outta it."Now, put a smile on your face. Ferdinand, it's time you pretend that we both are lovers, don't ever let the priest know that you are hired for this…" She warned him.Ferdinand nodded, he already knew the rules… but this time, it was getting numerous. She had ordered him when signing the contract never to refer to her as a wife, and here she is giving the opposite of the order.He watched her as she took long steps towards the huge building.Ohmigod! That lady is something else. She's not just a damsel but has everything to be called a woman.He will never love her. Yes, he's t
GROOM ON SUITOn the third day just as the priest had ordered them, the two couples began getting dressed.Melita stood opposite the mirror staring at the image opposite her.Oops! The lady in a white gown with minor makeup on her face looked more beautiful than ever. She looked gorgeous and sweet.Christina matched towards her circling her lips with lots of smiles. Her palm landed on her shoulder while she stared at her mistress through the mirror."Ma'am Carmelita is a goddess…" she uttered inwardly expressing happiness through her face. "I just wish she could accept a man in her life at least for this last time."She rubbed her hair, was well dressed, and curled up to an admiring style."Ma'am, the bridal gown looks good on you. I can't just wait to set my eyes on the groom, I believe he will look so enticing just like you are…" Christina referred to her mistress.Melita didn't say a word to that sentence, sh
