2-Luke Carter

Life has been great to me, but it could get greater if my dear father would step down from CEO and pass it on to me. His condition was, that I need to get married. He wants me to settle down with a nice girl and have kids. He is crazy if he thinks I'm giving up my freedom to play house. So I just work for him. But I know one day, I'll be the one in charge and giving orders.

"Your dream is just one step closer. Just find some fake wife and done." My best friend, Matt told me.

"He would know that is all well, fake. He wants it to be real." I sighed in frustration. "On the bright side, dad has been away for three months so, I can just tell him that I met someone."

He left me in charge of everything for three months, and having this much power and everything under my control, has made me want to be CEO, so bad. I think he thought that I couldn't handle it, but I showed him that I was more than capable for this and ready.

"Then back to my suggestion, get a fake wife and everyone is happy. You get to have fun with all the women in the world, your dad is happy you are married and bam, CEO position is yours." Matt added.

"I'm starting to like that idea. A fake wife. But not just anyone, I want someone with class, someone that will make it believable. And I know who that person will be." I smiled.

"Who?"

"Savannah Langley." I smirked.

"I haven't seen her in a while, since her father's company went to ruin."

"She works at a bakery. Her father owes me a lot of money. I think it's time to go pay him a visit and make business." I said while looking through my contacts and made a call.

...............

"What!"

"You heard me, you owe me a lot of money, and since I know you don't want to land in jail for who knows how long until you can pay me, I want to marry your daughter."

"She's a month pregnant.”

"Even better. Now tell me, is the father of the child involved?"

"No, Savannah told me that he left the country and wants nothing to do with the child." He replied.

I smirked. Things are just simply too good and working in my favor. That position will be mine soon, and after that, I'll get rid of Savannah and be free again.

Savannah

After working my ass off, I went to the pharmacy to buy vitamins and then headed home. I'm so tired and hungry. I entered my house and when I reached the living room, I was surprised. Luke Carter, in my house. I haven't seen him in a while. I used to attend my dad's business parties along with mom and that's where I met him.

"Luke, why are you here?"

"Well, hello to you too, Savannah." He smiled.

Why do I get a bad feeling from this. In what trouble has dad got into this time.

"Good news, my debt has been paid and I'm no longer going to jail." Dad said as he was finally able to breathe.

"How? That was a large amount of money." Confusion was written all over my face. How was dad able to pay off everything?

"Easy, I need a wife and your dad needed to pay me. So in exchange to clear him off his debts and from landing in jail, you're going to marry me." Luke, told me as if it was the most normal thing to say. "And I gave him a few thousand dollars so he can get his company back to running. See I'm not a cold hearted person."

"Are you crazy?" I huffed, “I'm not marrying you, you're a manwhore. And I'm pregnant so, I'm not available, so go find someone else."

"Either you marry me, or your dad goes to jail." He smirked

"Savannah do this please. Otherwise I'll be forced to sell this house and I can't do that." He said somberly.

I took a deep breathe and exhaled it. Dad used to be sweet and I know that man is still in there.

"Tic toc, Savannah" Luke said.

Never thought that I would be in this position. I'm being forced to get married just to save my dad from going insane and jail. Fuck.

Tears fell down my cheeks, "Fine, but I don't want to share a room with you."

"We won't, we will only do all that crap love for the cameras. And when my father arrives, we will act like a loving couple and that the baby you're expecting is mine." He said in a serious tone.

"Why are you doing this?" I wiped my tears.

"That's none of your business. Now I'll pick you up tomorrow morning, your dad has my number, save it." He winked at me and then left.

I was furious, my blood was boiling.

"I hope you get your life together, because if you fall into gambling again and lose your money, I'll make sure no one saves you this time." With that said I went to my room and started packing.

Tomorrow starts my personal hell.
