Chapter 4 The agreement

A man well dressed in his late 30's enter the room and hand over some folders to Carl.

"Sean all the terms and conditions are written?" ask Carl.

"Yes my lord every details of what you've said" replied Sean glancing at Aster who is in the couch looking at them, He nod to her as a sign of respect before leaving the room.

The two of us again in the room

"Here read and understand all the conditions stated" handing her the files

She was in complete surprise upon reading the details.

"oh No! I cannot marry you! I have a boyfriend already this is insane! " Aster shouted hysterically

Carl laughs at her

" Quit drama Aster, I did research on you already i knew everything about you even your body measurements and of course your relationships, you have lots of suitors even Dane Bastre-Vanessa's brother is pursuing you but you reject them all. You are what i need now"

"What? does marriage a joke to you? why would i marry someone i just meet?"

"This will be a marriage with benefits I will promote you but you must agree to marry me and we will divorce after a year" says Carl calmly.

" so the rumors is true then all of the Landon heirs must be married before their 29th birthday, why is that?"

" Its the sacred thing for us lycans when we reach our 29th birthday the moon goddess will give us the ultimatum of our power but the condition is we need to have a wife by then.

"Okay but promise me its only an agreement we will divorce after a year"

" yes i promised but no one must know what we discussed here understand?"

"Yes no one must know"

After the signing of the agreement Carl ask her to do not worry on the wedding preparations and only wait for his call.

The next day,

Aster finished her patients rounds and goes back to her office when a bouquet of flowers placed in her desk caught her eyes.

"Where did it came from?" she ask her assistant

"Dra it came from sir Carl Landon" replied her assistant with a very wide smile on her face

-buzzzz unknown number calling from her phone.

"Hello"

"Its me did you get the flowers"

"Yes why would you give me flowers" ask Aster

" Well it would be suspicious then if i tell them directly that i will marry you without courting you"

" do as you please then goodbye" cutting the call without hearing Carl's reply.

"Maam you didnt tell me that the Carl Landon is pursuing you, the most eligible bachelor in santossa almost all the girls fantasize him, the next head of the Landon family" says Jean her assistant acting like a teenager describing her idol.

"Yes I just meet him lastweek" replied Aster

"Wow! can you describe him in every detail please?"

"Jean quit it! I will let you meet him someday but now I need you to finish this records I need them at the end of the day" she ordered.

"Oh really you promised?" Jean was over the moon on what she says.

"yes i promised" she smiled knowing that little things can really make other people happy.

The rumors spread like wildfire about her being courted by Carl and a marriage offer, even the media and internet are curious about her. Carl advise her to take a leave from work and stay at her house for safety purposes until their issue will resolve he also order 2 bodyguards to stay at her place.

The Landon company breaks the news about the upcoming wedding of Carl and Aster. Schedule and venue of the wedding is to be announce.

The news reach Nadia and Jacob who was currently out of the country. Nadia was hysterical and tried calling Carl but he doesnt want to answer while Jacob was calmly talking to someone in the phone.

"What was Carl thinking of marrying a human? he knows that they cannot produce an heir! our bloodline is doomed! my goodness what will we do? call him maybe he'll answer you" Nadia was crying in anger

"Honey Calm down what we need to do now is trust Carl in this situation he knows what he's doing" says Jacob.

"What if he was enchanted by that woman? whi is she? maybe she's a witch belonging to the family of Carellos look her surname is carello" reacts Nadia.

"Carl cannot be enchanted by witches you knew that, unless thats a vampire but No she's a human 100% sure. I have talked to Sean already about the woman, She is the adoptive daughter of the Late Vienna Carello, cast out by the coven when vienna died. So interesting? hmmmn What bothers me the most is why would Vienna adopt this kid, We know how skillfull and great witch Vienna is but there was something she saw in this kid, that im so curious about" says Jacob

"Then your telling me that we accept that woman in our family with open arms? are you insane? even if she's a human maybe Vienna taught her some enchantment and she targeted our son" replied Nadia angrily.

"Unless you want to have an issue with Merca then go on"

"Why would Merca in the picture eh?" asked Nadia lowering her voice upon hearing that name.

Merca is the Eldest in the Landon family next is Jacob, She was the former president but because she never marry she had no heir so she trained his nephew Carl to be the next President. All the Landon Family members was afraid to have disagreement with her. after retiring she is currently in S country teaching kindergarten peacefully.

"Merca and Vienna were inseparable back then they are very good friends that makes Merca godmother to Vienna's child."replied Jacob.

The statements makes Nadia speechless, even if she was against the union she can not do anything, her position in the family is nothing compared to Merca.
