Just a Contract Lover?

She lifted the piece of envelope and unrapped it."You have been requested by the NYC customary court of law for the case of the rightful heir to the Williams family business. Since there was no male heir, and since Miss Angelina Williams has also failed to bore a male heir, neither has she been married, there would be a court case of handling the Williams company to a capable male relative. You have the right to a lawyer. Since the couple had no WILL due to their untimely and unexpected exit, the court will have to emerge a new CEO for the Williams company. Please you are also expected to be present on the 25th of January, 2022 being a week today at the court as requested by this writ of summon. Signed by the magistrate of the NYC customary court.""Just when you think they couldn't get any cornier and greedy." She murmured to herself smacking her mouth. then she chucked, dropping the papers carelessly on the floor and hitting her hands on her bed with frustration. she stroke her ha

Buzz! Buzz!! Buzz!!!Buzz! Buzz!! Buzz!!!Angel was awoken by the sound of her alarm. She had set the alarm on time as so not to miss or be late to court. "Alright, alright, alright I'm getting up." She mustered, hitting the alarm unconsciously repeatedly to make the buzzing stop. "Oooh... that's cold." She was faced with a gush of cold breeze from her window. It was practically freezing out there. She gritted her teeth as she quickly rushed to shut the window. She massaged her two arms with her palms to feel warm. Her body was filled with goosebumps.She forced herself to the showers despite the cold. After awhile she was out and dried up. She went and stood in the mirror with her hair wrapped with a white towel and so was her body."You're beautiful... You're courageous... Be confident... Be fearless... and don't let them see your weakness." She recited to herself, trying to prepare herself for the worst situation which could be her on the verge of loosing everything that belonged

"This is the amended contract. You only have to pretend that we're lovers in the presence of others, no intimacy no nothing. Both parties must not get emotional or be seen with another partner. Since you have a good business going on, I wouldn't want to stop you from expanding. Here..." She handed the contract to Eddie."You can go through it at your own convenient time, but it must not exceed today. If there's any other thing you'd like to discuss about the contract you let my manager know." She looked at Grace."And one more important thing, this contract must be a secret between only the three of us present here. No one must know about it." She concluded and made her leave."oooh... I'm so scared." He said with sarcasm."Excuse me, did you say something?" She asked."I mean, if we're going to start pretending we're lovers, how well do you think you can keep up with this attitude. I mean no offense but you need to loosen up." She opened her mouth to protest but felt her tongue cut.

It was a cold and heart-felt night with an intense atmosphere. "I think I'm ready to go home now." Angel uttered sadly. Standing straight, with her chin up."Is everything okay?" Asked James with a worried look on his face."And who's this?" Angel finally paid attention to the fine young lady standing with James."Is he your driver? Gosh, he is so handsome." The lady complimented with a giggle. Her cheeks were all red and her eyes glittering. "Nevermind. She was just about leaving." He then turned to the lady. "It was really nice meeting you. Take care now." He dismissed her. The lady didn't seem so happy that her night with James ended too shortly as she had other plans for the night with him. She shrugged and wore a sad frown on her face. Then finally walked away.James quickly unlocked the car then went and held the back door open for Angel to enter.Angel eyed him dramatically as she slowly entered the car."What was that all about. It just gave me a fright?" James thought inwar

"Hey! Where are you rushing off to? I've been looking everywhere for you." Angel rushed James who was in a haste. She noticed the sad look on his face and immediately hid the contract paper on her hand."What's wrong?" She asked feeling concerned."I have a friend who's been hospitalized I need to go see. I'm the only one she has. Please permit me to take the day off." He pleaded."Oh. Hope it's not too bad?" She asked with concern. James only shook his head in response."Okay, please take good care then." She replied. She had wanted to tell James about the contract, but it seemed not to be the best time for that. She felt a little disappointed after she had summoned the courage and practiced lines to use."Let me come with you. I can drive you. I don't think you're in a good state to drive anyway." Angel said as she grabbed James by the hand when he turned to leave. She insisted to go with him on seeing how tensed up James was."Oh, there's no need. I can manage." He replied"I insis
