" Christopher Andrews not Mr stranger " christopher corrected trying hard to contain his excitement although he's dissapointed .
She decided to marry him because of the money ,he knows he shouldn't be annoyed because of that but he just can't help but get furious at the fact that he had hoped she was different amongst others.
" Ohh okay Mr Christopher " she replied .
" I'll send you a text on where and when we'll meet ". He said and hung up immediately .
He chuckled lightly ...what was he thinking? That Olivia lane could be any better than that woman ?
Eventually he realized women are just the same .************" Olivia we need to talk ...." Her mother said immediately Robert fell asleep .
They both sat on their small sofa chair and her mother gathered her two hands gently .
" I'm sorry ....I know it's my fault ,I should have cautioned him with you ,maybe all these wouldn't have happened ....maybe you wouldn't have to let go of your college dream". Her mother begged crying .
" Mum it's fine ...." Olivia replied her voice cracking as they both held onto each other .
She'll fulfil that dream in just six months .....They both disengaged from the hug gently.
" Mum ....." Olivia called gently contemplating whether to tell her mum about the offer or not .
" What is it honey ?" Her mother asked and she sighed .
Her mother will never allow her marry a man for money even if it's just for one day so she can't tell her yet .....not until Mr Christopher has agreed to her terms and conditions!.

" Don't tell me this is the way you plan to dress to meet the heir to Andrew holdings ?" Matilda asked pointing to the big blouse and jean her best friend is putting on .
" He has a name you know " Olivia replied .
" Now take those things off ,now !" Matilda yelled and she did as she asked without questions.
Few hours later....
Olivia marvelled at how beautiful and huge the Andrew holdings is .her dream workplace ! Everything feels so unreal ....
She got to the receptionist who called into Christopher's office to let him know he has a visitor and directed Olivia who just can't get over the excitement she is feeling .
She knocked gently on the office door trying to keep her composure.
" Come in " a familiar voice answer and she opened the door and walked in .
She came face to face with two handsome men but the one she's getting married to sat on the chair behind the table and the other one sat in the sofa chair in the office ." Wow! I didn't know she is this pretty " David said making Olivia blush .
She definitely owes Matilda a lot ." Have a seat " Christopher said ignoring his friend's remark .
Olivia sat gently on the chair opposite Christopher .
" Coffee? Juice ?" David asked
" There won't be any need for that , she's here for business and that's all " . Christopher cut in before Olivia could say anything .Olivia smiled at David who she has suddenly grown fond of and just stared blankly at how cheaply Christopher was acting.
Christopher threw a file in front in front of her.
" These are the things you need to know about me ".
" What about me ?" Olivia asked
" I already know all there is to know ....plus this file contains everything on how we met and all that ,we need to get the story straight ". Christopher replied .
David sat down amusedly enjoying the scene in front of him.
" We are meeting my grandfather next week " christopher said and Olivia just shrugged .
" When do we meet your parents ?" He asked again and Olivia felt a surge of fear rush through her.
" I'll decide that and let you know " she replied and David chuckled .
He definitely like this girl !" How will I be paid ?" Olivia asked and Christopher just stared at her .
It's all about the money for her right ?
" You'll be paid 50 percent upfront and then the remaining 50 percent in six months ". He replied and she smiled excitedly .
" There'll be a retouch on your background Information ". Christopher said and Olivia glared at him.
" Are you telling me to lie about who I am?" She asked
" Are you going to tell my grandfather that you are a poor brat that stopped schooling in high school whose mother owns just a small eatery ?" Christopher yelled .
" What he meant to say was we just need to add a little spice to your story ,it's not totally lying " David immediately chipped in when he noticed his friend would scare the lady .
" I am not a poor brat ! And my mum owns a restaurant not a small eatery ! Just so you know I am not ashamed of my background! " Olivia yelled back at Christopher .
She never knew Mr stranger is such a cold jerk ! How is she supposed to live with this kind of petty man for six months?
Olivia headed back home after she had spent enough time with her mother and her friend .She now has a chaffeur and a personal car to herself ,this is definitely the kind of life she never expected to live ....at least not too soon .She noticed Christopher's car was already parked when she got into the house .She opened the door gently and met him sitting on the sofa his back turned at her ." Hi " she greeted and got no response .She wonders if he's mad at her for leaving the house without telling him .She walked to where he's sitting and he finally turned to face her ." I'm sorry I left the house without informing ....." " Where did you go to ?" Christopher asked cutting her off .She felts chills running down her spine with how cold he sounded. " I went over to my mum's place , the house felt boring and I have missed her ,we haven't seen each other since the wedding and I'm not used to that .... I'm sorry I left without informing you ". Immediately she said that she felt hi
Evelyn got back home annoyed and irritated , how could christopher treat her like that ? .It's all because of that woman he married .If getting rid of that witch he got married to is the only way to get him back then she'll definitely do it .*************" Hi mum " Olivia greeted smiling excitedly immediately she got to her mother's restaurant .After paying their house rent with the half payment she got for her contract married and adding some touches to their eatery it is now worthy to be called a restaurant." My dear daughter " her mother yelled and pulled her into a hug .They both settled down on a seat as Olivia looked around thinking about how much she missed working at the restaurant , delivering food to their customers and working side by side with her mother ." How's Christopher ?" " He's doing great ! ,He's busy at the office which is why he couldnt come with me but He sends his greetings and he promised to come greet you whenever he's free ". Olivia lied .She di
Chapter 19 " Hi David ,hi Chris " Evelyn greeted walking over to seat beside David opposite Christopher . " My name is Christopher and you'll refer to me as Mr Christopher because we are in a working environment ...and you'll only seat when I ask you to " . Christopher replied glaring at her as she tried sitting but paused halfway after his statement . " Come on chris ....I mean Mr Christopher ,don't be so petty ". Evelyn replied shocked at Christopher's attitude although she acted it so well that no one noticed . David watched the scene amusedly . " Why are you here ?" . Christopher asked ignoring whatever she said . " Can I at least sit ?" " Miss Evelyn why are you here ?". Christopher asked again . " Can I talk to you alone then ? ". Evelyn asked staring at David who already got the hint . It's time to leave ..... " If you cannot say why you are here in front of David then you can leave ". Christopher replied rudely. " I have files to attend to in my office ....so
Honeymoon holiday is over and Christopher decided to resume back to work ." Have breakfast before leaving " olivia said rushing over to bring him tea and sandwiches like normal couples do ." yes ma'am " christopher replied .Ever since that day Evelyn had showed up they have become closer ,and their honeymoon became fun although each of them still sleeps in different rooms .Olivia knows she has started to fall for this stranger and knows it all has to stop after 6 months while christohi just loves this new bond they have .**************" You did all that with olivia ?" David yelled unbelievably .His workaholic and cold friend went out for karaoke , night walks and even sauna with Olivia? There's definitely nothing love cannot do to a man ...." Why do you sound so surprised ?" Christopher asked glaring at his friend who looks like he's teasing him ." It's just so unbelievable and surprising ! You would never do that even with me " .Christopher noticed a pinch of jealousy i
" What are you doing here ?" Christopher finally asked not sure how he's feeling." That's not a pleasant way to welcome someone you haven't seen for years chris .." Evelyn replied still clinging onto his clothes ." It's better you leave now Eve....." Christopher replied biting his tongue as the idea of calling her name after all these years gave him an eerie feeling." Why ? Why should I leave ?" She asked ." Because I'm ....."" He's married and we just came from our honeymoon and we won't be needing the presence of a stranger ". Olivia replied cutting Christopher off .She doesn't know who this godforsaken woman is but she knows they definitely won't get along .For these six months she'll have to play as Christopher's wife she might as well just play the role well.Evelyn scoffed at the remarks of this woman who stole her man .A stranger ? No ! " Chris do you really think I'm a ....." " You heard her ,we need our privacy and we don't want a stranger! to be around " .Evelyn
" Sorry ...sorry ..." Olivia pleaded rushing up with her face flushing with embarrassment.Christopher stood up gently from the floor and smiled ." You got what you want ,are you happy now ?" " What I want ? What do you mean by that ?" Olivia asked and rolled her eyes at him shyly. " Kissing this handsome man in front of you " Christopher replied proudly making Olivia choke on her saliva .She can't possibly let him tease her and get away with it just like that so it's only right she says something in her own defense. " Kiss? Come on Christopher that wasn't a kiss we just bumped into each other " she replied swallowing how she originally feels about what happened. " What ?.... Bump into each other ? Really?" .Olivia threw him a fake smile and walked back into her room triumphantly .***********Two days later ........" Mum we are returning back home today "." Your honeymoon is over ? Isn't that too soon ?" ." Christopher has to return back to work tomorrow ,he has a lot a to
