With a speeding heartbeat, she pushed open the door and looked around while chewing a piece of gum. The place was secluded as expected but the person she was looking for did not seem to be there.
She panicked and glanced at her wristwatch. It was already quarter past ten in the morning and the man was nowhere in sight.
Was she late? Did he already leave? Talking to herself she went to the bathroom and closed herself in a stall.
Sitting on the toilet seat she took out her phone and checked the message again, sent by her friend, Molly:
‘Abigail. Meet this man at Sasha’s Diner tomorrow morning at ten. Don’t be late. He is a struggling model. Needs a place to stay. Don’t get carried away by his looks, honey. He is gay. ;-)
He is ready to marry you. Go for it, honey. All the best.’This man was the last hope for Abigail. Her silly friend did not even share his picture because she had to leave last night for Paris urgently.
Before heading off, Molly left a voice note for her, ‘Abi. Don’t forget to meet him tomorrow morning. I need to travel urgently. Mom is sick and admitted to the hospital. Henry will be there at ten sharp in a navy blue shirt. He is a very punctual guy. All the best.’
Now the ‘punctual Henry’ was nowhere in sight. She came out of the stall and started washing her hands. The way her ex-fiancé and her step-sister cheated on her back, it had drained her emotionally and mentally.
“God! I need this man. I need to show Kyle who he is messing with.”
She came out of the restroom area letting her eyes slide over the dining hall. She missed a heartbeat when she found a tall man in a navy blue shirt sitting on the corner table. He had a laptop opened in front of him and in no way did he seem like a struggling model.
She could not see his face because of his head buried in his laptop screen, but he was wearing a branded suit. May be because he was a model and needed to take care of his appearance.
Oh, thank God! Thank God! He is here! Thank you, Molly.
She sent a silent hug to her best friend and moved towards the table. When he did not look up, she tapped the table with her knuckles. The man raised his head and holy cow!
She forgot to breathe. She wanted to remind herself that she was not dreaming.
Damn you, Molly. Why you didn’t mention that he was insanely, smoking hot! Shit man! This handsome is gay!
“If you are done checking me out, I have work to do.” A deep male voice appeared near her. His icy blue eyes were staring into her green ones.
My! My! He was a Greek God! And … he was looking … at her!
Oh! He was waiting for her to speak. How dumb she was!
“Umm. I … I am Abigail Mason. I …” She stuttered and then feeling like a fool extended her hand towards him expecting a handshake. But instead of reaching out to hold it, he kept staring at her, placing his fist under his chin.
She felt a little uneasy. This man was smoking hot! But he also seemed a certified Asshole. Gosh! She needed him. He was her only hope.
With a fake, over bright smile, she sat in front of him, “Listen Henry!” When she called his name he eyed her as if she had gone crazy.
The man did look like the movie star, Henry Cavil. But she did not want to offend him by telling him that.
“Molly must have told you about my need to marry someone.”
“Excuse me?” A quick flicker of interest shimmered in his eyes.
“Listen, Henry. Molly told me everything about you. I have got this dinky apartment with a small bed. You can take the bed if you want. I will manage on the couch.”
Now she got his attention and placed her hand on his arm, “My money is stuck. Once I will recover it. I will pay you handsomely. I can also help you with your struggling career. I have got folks in the modeling industry.”
She did not want to sound desperate but was there any choice? For the first time, she noticed the ice cracking in his eyes. He eyed her hand lying on his arm. She saw a trace of warmth. But it was there just for a moment. She could swear she saw it.
“So what do you say?” He realized, she was waiting for his answer.
“When do you want this marriage thing, Miss?”
“Umm. It’s Abigail… As soon as possible. Whatever suits you.”
“How about now?” He raised an eyebrow questioningly.
“Now?” She was not expecting this to be so smooth. It was a wish come true.
He nodded, “Yes. If it’s now… I am in. Otherwise deal is off.” He closed his laptop ready to leave when he noticed her getting up from her chair and coming towards him rounding the table, with her swaying hips and sexy legs.
She did notice him giving her a once over. But she gave a damn right now.
She did not know how she will get married on such short notice but he seemed to have his own connections. From arranging a priest to the witnesses. He got it all in no time.
They got married and came out of the office with a legal marriage document in hand. They had reached here by hiring a cab for which Abigail had paid.
“Where will you go now?” He asked her, who was stuffing something in her tote bag.
“Right now I have got a job interview, Henry. Wish me luck.” She smiled at him and then gave him a piece of paper.
“Here is my address. Collect your things and crash in! I will wait for you.” With that, she started walking towards the cab stand, without realizing that he kept looking at her not believing what she just made him do.
Just then his phone started ringing. He received the call, “Hunter! My friend! Where are you, man?”
“Ethan! What happened?”
“Nothing happened. But something would if you don’t marry before evening. Your old man is getting agitated and Celine’s phone is not responding. I know, she was supposed to marry you for ten million this evening. I think if she is asking for twenty million then better give it to her. We don’t have any other option.”
After listening to him patiently, he spoke, “No need of Celine now. F*uck with her and her payment. By the way, I just got married.”
“You did what?” Ethan on the other side was dumbstruck.
“I got married. So now my old man should not try to snatch away my position as the CEO of the Levisay Company. I am sending you the snapshot of my marriage certificate via Whats*A*pp. Show it to my old man.” There was a trace of sarcasm in his voice.
“How did you manage it, man? Who is the girl? How much are you paying her?”
“That’s the best part, Ethan. I am NOT the one paying her. She is the one paying me and also offering a place to live.”
“She is doing what?” Ethan choked while taking a sip of his beer, stifling his laughter.
Hunter Levisay disconnected the call smiling to himself. It seemed that his last-minute bride knew nothing about him. He dialed another number, “Where is my car, David? Bring it here.”
“Yes, Sir.” And then a gleaming Napier green McLaren P1 stopped near him. A uniformed chauffeur came out and took his laptop bag from him.
“Arrange a low-key car as a temporary arrangement, David.”
After instructing his chauffeur, Hunter Levisay climbed in the back seat with a relaxed mind. The task which seemed impossible just this morning got done most unexpectedly.
He didn’t know anything about the girl but he was the one who was supposed to pay someone to get married. The girl seemed daring and he was very much interested to know about her. She was confusing him for some Henry. But the poor Henry just lost by a fraction.
Hello readers, Thank you for all the love and support you people have been offering me. When I started, Oops, story, I was not expecting more than a hundred readers. Never knew it will be liked this much. Time to say goodbye to Hunter/Abigail and Rafael/Emerald. I don’t think I would go for a sequel. But you never know. (wink wink) Whatever I am today is because of you people. Because of your constant encouragement, I did it. Thank you for the constant reviews. Believe me, I had been reading all of them. My next story will be Ouch! My Fiancé Fell For His Vir*gin Maid. It will be available hopefully by the second week of December. (Would try for earlier) Don’t forget to give it a chance. Justin, Sarah, and Ashley. They will be soon available on Goodnovel. For future announcements, you can follow me on Goodnovel or search for me as Lisa Salman-author. Xoxo. Bye - till we meet again. Lisa Salman-author.
Emerald woke up by stretching herself and turned her head sideways. Rafael was still sleeping like a baby with his mouth partially opened.She could see one or two strands of white hair in his subtle beard and she swore he was becoming more handsome with each passing day.Shifting closer to him, she sniffed that familiar perfume. God! She always acted like a creep when he was around.“I can never get enough of you.” She whispered in his ear making him stir in his sleep.“Harika?” He called her huskily snaking his arm around her na*ked body and pulling her to him.“Interested in a bath?” She asked his sleepy face, smiling slyly to herself.“Really?” This time his eyes opened widely.“Yup!” Kissing his cheek, she jumped out of bed when he held her hand hurriedly, “Let me do it for you, Guzel.”“You do it every Sunday, Askim. Let me do it for today.” She bent down to kiss his forehead but was sprawled on him when he not only made her stumble upon him but also rolled over taking her with
(Thirteen years later)Sixteen years old Sophia took out a rose twig from her bouquet and took it near her nose to sniff it.“Hmm. Heavens!” She closed her eyes in ecstasy.“You like it?” He asked her.“I love it, papa.” She opened her eyes and a smile gleamed on her lips. Her smile resembled a lot like her mom’s. She had taken that smile and black hair from Julia. That was the reason Emerald dyed her hair black many years back.The familiar smile still gave him pain.“Do you miss mom?” She asked him with concern showing in her eyes. The way she used to care about others showed a lot about how she was brought up by an amazing woman and man.“I used to. But now I think I have gotten over her.”“Once I will be eighteen, I am planning to visit her in Turkey.” Her statement made Robert snap up his head.“I don’t think Emerald and Rafael ever stopped you from meeting her. You just need to let them know.”“I know, papa. It’s just something I need to do on my own. Grandma shares her pictures
Sitting in the Levisay private jet, Emerald did not know where they were heading for their honeymoon. She was still dressed in her gown.“I was under the impression that we will be staying in Sapphire Galaxy.”“And why would I do that to my bride?” He asked her, circling her bare back with his finger. They enjoyed the wedding reception like anything.The Booz, the dances, meeting people. Emerald did everything in a daze. Finally, after coming out when it was time to throw back the bouquet they all were surprised when Patricia caught it effortlessly.“Are you missing Sophie?” Rafael got rid of his jacket before pulling her onto his lap, “Because I am.”He did try to convince Hunter to take Sophie with them. However, Hunter wanted them to spend this time together.They both deserved it. Their love deserved it.She did not know when she fell asleep in his arms. But when her eyes opened, she was in the furnished bedroom of the jet, lying peacefully in his arms.He was awake and staring at
“Oh, Gosh! Emerald! Wake up. It’s your wedding day.” Emerald had a pillow on her face when she heard Abi’s voice. “What? It’s already morning?” She asked herself and moved the pillow away from her face. “Look at you. The girl who had insomnia can now sleep nonstop.” Emerald got up yawning. Abigail was constantly talking without taking a break, “Come on, Em. Rise and shine.” She drew the curtains, allowing the room to bathe in sunlight. “Go and take shower. I will send a protein packed breakfast to the room. After that, you are supposed to wear your undergarments and petticoat. And yes…” Abigail was already stepping out, “Don’t forget to put on those bandelettes.” She winked before closing the door behind her. Emerald let out a panicked sigh and ran to the bathroom. Last night she stayed in the guest room of her house. Selina was already taking care of Sophie. After applying scented lotion all over her body, she came out in a bathing gown. it seemed like Abigail was waiting for her
“Mommy! You will marry daddy tomorrow?” She was changing Sophie’s dress into a sleeping suit when she asked the query with those innocent eyes on her face.“Yes, honey bun. We are.” She started brushing her daughter’s long black hair into a loose braid, “Are you happy?”“Happy of wedding? With daddy? Yes, mommy, I am.” She was too engrossed in brushing her barbie’s golden hair.“Mommy?”“Yes, honey bun?”“Would you love me after marry daddy?” Sophia was so busy with her doll’s hair that even she did not know the absurdity of her question.Emerald felt like someone had clenched her heart. Her daughter had started thinking along these lines. Was she getting insecure? Possessive?“Sophie? My baby!” She gently took the doll from her hands, “Look here, darling.” She held her small face in her hands, “You will always be my baby. You will always be my first love. And you know what?” She asked looking into the innocent eyes of her daughter,“Daddy loves you so much. He is always talking about
“Wake up, baby! Wake up!” She splashed water droplets on his closed lids. His lips stretched into a smile. He raised his arm to look for her in the air with his eyes still closed. She got back with a burst of half-suppressed laughter.“Come here!” His voice was still raspy due to the sleepiness, his hand still hanging in mid-air. Looking for her! She realized. “Get up. I am making breakfast for both of us!” telling him softly she went out of the room feeling all emotional. The way his hand wanted her was something too sweet to handle. When he came out all fresh and showered, she was placing the plates on the counter along with steaming coffee mugs. “Breakfast is ready and you need to…” She stopped when she saw him leaning against the counter in only a pair of shorts. His body was still glistening due to the shower he just took. Woah! The man let her do all those amazing things to his body last night and still, her insides were throbbing with his mere presence. “Still want to de
When Abigail and Hunter got inside the kitchen, they stopped short when found Emerald stirring something in a big bowl.“What are you doing?” Hunter picked up a carrot and started chomping on it.“I was thinking to help Abigail with the dinner.” She said busily, “How about I do a sweet dish and you can go with one main course dish. Or if you want I can …Oops!” She squealed when Hunter lifted her up as if she weighed like a feather and placed her away. “Brides are not allowed in the kitchen!” Hunter took the bowl from the counter and started whipping it.“He is right.” Abigail took out an apron from the drawer and threw another one towards her husband, “We will manage tonight’s dinner.”“I just wanted to help!” Emerald tried to protest.“I will ask Selina if needed. Now shoo away.” Abigail gave a little shove on her shoulder and started taking out veggies from the refrigerator.“You are still here, girl!” Hunter wiggled his brows, “Go get a massage. Spend some time away from this noi
When her flight landed in San Francisco, Patricia looked out of the window while stretching herself. Her favorite, warm and sunny San Francisco. The same one which she left last time in rage. And in pain. In that annual dinner, Rafael Wyatt did not even try to steal a glance her way. He seemed so uptight sitting there with Hunter and Abigail at the party. No matter how many times Abi tried to introduce them or tried to talk to him about their common interests he did not even budge. But he was a changed man on the screen when Emerald went to him at his movie celebration party and talked to him. He had this se*xy smile on his lips when he pulled her on the stage. Emerald must be hardly one year younger than her but her parents never treated her well. There was some old siblings’ rivalry with Cassandra but her parents always supported Cassie. Patricia loved her energy. After collecting her luggage, Patricia was pushing the trolley to the exit, observing different people at the airpo
