"It is your choice," he said stepping so close to me that our lips were almost touching. "Either do as I say or see your family ruin." Anger shot in my veins, "I don't take orders from annoying snobs like you, mr. Russo!" I countered back confidently while maintaining eye contact. "Then I guess I will have to add that to my agenda; teaching you to take orders." He snapped back. My nails unconsciously dug into the the palm of my hand." ____________ James Russo; A cold and ruthless CEO of Russo Enterprises has decided to take Sapphire Ronaldo as his bride in exchange of saving her family.

Chapter 1

1: First Meeting

"Ma'am please stop!" The voice boomed behind me but I was quick enough to open the door and barge into the office room.

My eyes looked around until they land on the person sitting behind a wooden black desk working on his laptop. On the sound of door hitting the wall, he looked up with slightly widened eyes but even before a second they were back to normal.

He looked at her emotionlessly with his eyebrow raised.

"—Sorry sir! I had tried to stop her but she pushed me away—." The poor sectary with dishevelled hair came running in the room after her and complained in loud voice.

"—How dare you?!" I walked closer to his desk and placed my both hands on his desk with a loud thud ignoring his passive expression and secretary afraid voice.

"Do I know you miss?" He asked with furrowed eyebrow as if trying to remember if he knows me. A clear shock coarse in me.

This man didn't knew me or not have seen me but but blinded demanded marriage with me!!

"I won't marry you!" I told him with clear anger in my eyes.

This time he looked at me with a shock visible in his grey orbs but he was quick to overcome it.

"Oh..I see it's you." He spoke dryly as his eyes traveled from her feet and then to her face. They stoped for a good 2 second at her bust before he looked again at her face.

His face expression clearly showed he didn't expected her to look this way. I smirked internally. Of course, I am a beauty queen and this isn't the first time a man looked at her that way.

"Yes! That's me and I won't marry you so just take that idea out of your mind!" She spoke harshly. James eyes narrowed at her comment. He looked at the secretary and spoke calmly, "Helga you may leave and close the door behind."

The secretary was quick to follow his instructions.

"You can sit..." he spoke as gestured her to the chat.

"I am not here to sit! I am here to let you mr.— uh whoever you are! I won't marry you." I seethed back having enough of his expressionless face.

"Russo. James Russo." He spoke back calmly as he leaned back on his leather seat.

"What?" I asked him arrogantly, "do you think I care who you are? I don't! Now do as I say, tell my father that you will not marry me—

"Shut up!" He spoke harshly and I was taken aback by his manner of speaking.

"You can't talk to me like tha—."

"I said shut up woman!" He spoke again louder and more firm. His eyes were now more dark than before.

“I don’t wish to marry you! At least not someone as bratty as you! It’s my grandparents thinking to resolve the matter quick and fast without much hassle. But if you really want a fight, then go and deny to get married and see your father and brother get wasted for the rest of their life behind the prison and if you think you will get to have all the luxuries than know it very clearly the moment you refuse, nothing will be left with you. No shelter no food and property. If your good for nothing father and brother go in prison you also are out on streets.” He spoke each word clear and so cold that I started to sweat.

No he is bluffing! My mind refused to accept any of his words.

But my father’s words kept ringing in my ears......

We will soon be bankrupt Sapphire ! I need your help daughter.....only way out is this marriage....please think of our business....we will come to roads.....

I shook my head and looked at him with loathe. He stood up from his leather seat and I had to crank my neck up. Gosh! He was tall. Like really tall. But if his thinks he can intimidate me by his hovering frame, than he had another thing coming!

I, Sapphire Ronaldo, know how how to make arrogant men like him to bend on their knees!

He walked straight to me and stood only at a step distance. I desperately wanted to step back but just to show him that I am not least intimidated by him, which I am not, I stayed rooted to my place.

I gulped as he leaned forward. His minty and forestry fragrance was so refreshing. I gritted my teeth and maintained my eye contact with this ruthless beast!

"It is your choice," he said stepping so close to me that our lips were almost touching. "Either do as I say or see your family ruin."

Anger shot in my veins, "I don't take orders from annoying snobs like you, mr. Russo!" I countered back confidently while maintaining eye contact.

"Then I guess I will have to add that to my agenda; teaching you to take orders." He snapped back. My nails unconsciously dug into the the palm of my hand.

“Now get out.”He spoke in low voice as he stepped away from me.

I gritted my teeth and shot him the most venomous glare.

He just stared back at me with his bored taunting expression.

I threw one last glare before I started walking to the exit but before I could step out, I slipped unconsciously on the slippery floor and when I thought I will be heroically saved, I was proved wrong the next second when I dropped hard on my butt on his office floor.

“Ohhh!” I groaned hard in pain and unconsciously looked at him who was looking at me with raised eyebrows and amusement clear in them.

I huffed before getting up and gathering the stuff that had spilled out of my bag during my disastrous fall. I was too embarrassed but I didn’t wanted him to know that.

He stayed quiet as I picked up everything from the floor. Standing straight, I raised my head high and giving me a stink eye, I again walked to exit, this time more carefully.

“Close the door behind you.” He ordered in authoritative voice. I looked back at him and gave him a stink eye before slamming the door hard shaking it to its hinges.

Serves him right!

2: I Am Not For Sale
“James, Ronaldo’s daughter came at the company?” Alex Russo asked his grandson who was caressing his Golden Retriever dog lovingly as he sat in his mansion.   “Yes,” his voice was void of any emotion. He caressed his pet as he tried to avoid the subject.   “What did she say?” Alex Russo asked taking the seat opposite to his grandson.   James let go of his pet and looked straight at his grandfather.   “Expected. She came barging in the office, shouting and throwing tantrum like a little spoiled girl.” He told him as his mind formed the image of the blonde beauty.    “Did you told that their is no way out? Either she marries you for the sake of her family or be bankrupt.” Alex Russo frowned.   “She is immature. Doesn’t even understand the situation. I told her that she doesn’t have much option.” James told him nod

3: She Runs Away
I never in million times thought that this would ever happen. Just a day of running away and my cards all of them were blocked and my stupid self didn’t bothered to carry the cash with me.   I never thought dad would do something like this with me!

4: His Maid?
I was quick to move and with one swift motion I raised my leg and kicked him hard in his ‘precious place’ where sun doesn’t shine.   “Oofph!” He groaned as he fell on his knee in front of me groaning in pain as he clutched his precious jewel.   “Don’t you dare come closer!” I shouted as I warned fiercely.   He looked at me with his bloodshot eyes.   “You stupid woman! I meant no harm! I was just going to talk—but you had to show your stupidity!” He spoke harshly as he gasped and took inhale and exhale repeatedly to calm himself down.   I instantly felt bad. I was always like this. Hasty in all decisions. I made decision of running away in haste and here I am in an auction being sold to the man who I am being forced to get married.   “How come I would have known you want to talk? If you want to talk you could have done it by standing where you initially were b

5: No Escape
I sat quite the whole way to my house. He was sitting beside me and we were silent since our last talk. I didn’t wanted to talk or argue with him anymore. I will directly talk to my dad and ask him to get me out of this matter!   I sighed in relief as my mansion view appeared in my sight. I was so happy to see my home. Really we are nothing without our home.    As the car stopped at main entrance, I was quick to unlock the door and get out but halted when I heard him speak, “Don’t be too excited and if you really think your dad will listen to you and get you out of this matter and know it darling that is where you are gravely wrong....”    His cold voice made me shut my eyes in anger. I without giving him a reply got out of the luxurious black BMW car and slammed the door hard.

“Sapphire! You my girl get here at the Russo Club at once! I need to know what the heck you are up to! You have 10 minutes! Get here!” It was the dramatic side of Selena which over reacted.

7: Fiancé, Who?
With a loud gasp, my eyes jerked open. A swear pain shoot in head. I grumbled nonchalantly as I adjusted my eyes to brightness. “Rise and Shine baby girl!”’a loud voice chirped and I got up and and sat in sitting position. My hand instantly clutched my forehead.  “Are you awake finally?” Selena asked smiling as she she passed me a mug of coffee. “Ouff….this headache is killing me!” I grumbled out loud as I took the mug from her hand. “Of course! You drank a lot of wine. It was bound to happen! You drank then danced then again drank and the passed out on the bar. We had to carry you to my car and then my home.” Emerald said huffing. The vivid flashes of the kiss I had appeared in my dream amd I involuntarily touched my lips. Was it really a dream or it really happened? No&h

8: 365 Nights
The bastard made me wait in the waiting room for fucking one and half hour. In the past hour all I could do was either drink coffee or read the stupid magazine or sit back and judge people dressing sense!   “Miss Ronaldo, you can now meet sir in his cabin at 12th floor.” Finally! Bastard!   I smiled tightly at the bitchy receptionist before heading to the lift without saying thank you to her.  Even people working with him are as arrogant as him!   I pressed the button 12th of the lift and walked to where his secretary desk who was busy apply deep shade of red of impress who? I wonder….   I placed my bag on her desk forcing her to look up and she raised an eyebrow at me.   “Mr. Russo wishes to meet me. Tell him I am outside his cabin.” I told her sternly remembering how last time she ran after me when I tried to forcefully ba

10: Sold My Soul To Devil
“First, we will be getting married in coming two weeks. No big event. A simple marriage but nicely done within the family. No outsiders.” He spoke crushing the idea of my grand marriage.    “Uh okay but my two best friends are like my sister they will come.” I told him with furrowed eyebrows.   “Okay, but only two.” He held strictness in his tone. I nodded and he further continued.   “No one will know you are my wife. The fact that I got married will be released in public but who is my wife will remain a secret. You will be gone after a year. There is no need to come in public eyes.” He spoke with disdain in his voice making me frown at his dry tone. Is being my husband that shameful for him?    Not wanting to give him any satisfaction I nodded speaking, “yeah, I also don’t want to tell anyone about me bei
