THE CONTRACTUAL GIRLFRIEND: FAKE DATING MY EX FAVORITE PLAYE

Maren's pov “ You are cordially invited to attend the wedding of Dylan Crosby and Hannah Carson. Friday fifth of…..” Rylee reads but stops halfway and squeezes the invitation in and throws it in the dustbin. “The fuck is he thinking, sending you an invitation just three months after you guys broke up” she frowned. I could only smile weakly, my chest tightened and tears pricked the back of my eyes. Dylan was my boyfriend for ten years, we met during my second year of college. The very first guy that had shown interest in me, he was good to me in our early years of dating or maybe I was just blind to see that he is a red flag. He broke up on the night of our tenth anniversary, dumping me like some worthless whore after making many sacrifices for him, helping him with his business ideas, and putting my savings into various failed businesses of his. “I can't believe he asked you to marry him, only for you to be planning a wedding and the jerk decided to break up with you” Ryle

Maren's pov I ran after him. I don't know why I went after him but I won't let me him leave getting all the satisfaction. Rylee had always told me to stand up for myself and this is my way of it. “Mr Patton” I called. He stopped in his tracks and turned to me, his eyebrows furrowed. I walked towards him and stop right in front of me. He is tall, I glanced up looking into eyes as he stare me down with those grey eyes. I cleared my throat, he folded his arms. “I want to make something clear, I don't know what kind of impression I gave you at first but I won’t do anything that goes against our contract” I breathed out. The corner of his lips lifted, I saw a smile but briefly. He is mocking me ?. “What things?, Miss Maren” He said quietly which made his voice deeper. He leaned down, staring into my eyes like he is looking for something. “I don't know…but I just want to let you know I only think of this as a business nothing more” I straightened my posture. “Ah” He also stood up

Maren's pov I placed my bag into the back seat of the car and slid in. I greeted the driver that Gideon had sent to pick me up. And I am so nervous, I don't want to do too much so he won't have the wrong idea again.I leaned my head against the window, I watched as rain splashed against the window . The weather in Seattle is unpredictable in Autumn, rain falling now and no rain in the next minute. When Gideon called me last night, I was surprised, I wasn't expecting him to call regarding his attitude on the day we met. I really hoped he would apologise but he just called to tell me he wants to follow me on Instagram and he hired a stylist ?. Hiring a stylist was a little insultive to me because I saw how he looked at my dress the other day. The car came to a halt and I didn't even notice that we were in an underground parking lot.“Ma’am we have arrived” The driver said as he stepped out of the car before I could open the door to the back seat.“Oh, Thank you” I was taken back whe

Maren's pov My phone has been beeping for thousands of times since midnight, I picked it up and put on vibration. I was so tired from the event, from being questioned about my dress to trying to figure what to say when the obnoxious people asked about my opinion. It was tiring.I sat up groggily, still feeling sleepy as I steps down my bed. Gideon had sent me home immediately after we get back to his penthouse. He was mad by the end of charity event because of Dante.I entered my bathroom to do my Hygiene, when I am do I came back to my phone vibrate do much it almost fell down my nightstand, I quickly picked it up and answered the call it was Rylee.“Girl I was worried, have you check your Instagram?” She asked, she didn't even say good morning.“Good morning to you Riley and I haven't checked my Instagram” infact I haven't even logged in on Instagram since that night when Gideon called.“See, log in right now your Followers are skyrocketing and ignore the negative comments, I will

Maren's pov.“This is so therapeutic” Rylee moans as lowered her body into the bath. Right row we are in spa that Rylee had suggest we go to before go get our hair done and shopping.“Yeah, it is amazing” I said as I closed my eyes, I was really surprised when I saw Gideon's message, No Hi or hello just straight forward, I don't even understand the man and his mood. I saw the text after I got off work and it was busy, traumatic day.And I am greatful for the day off, I should really quit the job after all I am earning more now. I grin to myself but first I will go back there with a brand new Coach bag and a nice dress and jack. And watch Flora’s face dropped.I am really nervous about the date shopping will I be paying for myself or… I mean he is rich he will have taste that I can't afford I don't want to own anyone.Rylee noticed my gloomy mood, “ are you still thinking about the comments?” She asked.“No that not it, I am thinking about the date” I whispered.“Why?” She furrowed her
