Chapter 3

I grabbed him by the hand, leading to the backyard, how did he find out where I stayed, he was starting to draw my attention and I didn't want that.
"First of all, who the hell are you" I asked curiously
"Sorry sweetheart for not introducing myself properly" he smiled, his eyes calm. " Am Daniel Vuitton," he said stretching out his hand for a shake.
Daniel Vuitton, I repeated in my thought, the name sounding familiar, have heard of it. My expression went blank as I stared at him.
"You are him, the billionaire," I asked my thoughts distraught, I just had sex with the billionaire Daniel Vuitton, who would believe that Kaylee would go out of her mind if she ever found out?

I could see the surprise on her face, but that wasn't important, I needed her help, if she was truly the one to save my relationship with Mia then I was ready to take that chance.
" I need your help cupcake" I requested
"First of all, my name is Kelly not cupcake, and secondly need my help for what" I listened as she raised each question.
I was not in the mood to argue with her, am a busy man and she should know that.
"I have a proposition for you" I gently tell her, her brows raised in question
"What proposition?"
"A contract marriage, between you and I" she coughed, trying to get herself as I watched her. "Are you done??" anger filled my face.
"You kidding right, this must be a prank, alright you all can come out now, what TV show is this, fool the naive girl" she teased
I grabbed her arm, pulling her closer, my face inches away from her.
" does it look like am joking cupcake"
(Kelly pov)
I could see the seriousness on his face even when he was inches away. A contract marriage is he for real, we just met like few hours ago, does he like me that much or what? I managed to pull away
"What are you talking about" I pulled away standing far away from him. Is he drunk or is he on something high?
"You must be crazy, A Contract marriage, do you think it's Child play, am not interested, I have a life of my own and someone I love too, what happened between us was a one-time mistake and that's all it will ever be" I added, feeling too proud of myself.
"Whenever you change your mind cupcake, here is my card" he handed me his business card as he grazed past me, heading to his car parked outside.
I stared at the card, still shocked by his audacity, I checked my time, I was running late.

"You said 6:00 on the dot" Her eyes filled with rage
"Calm down sweetheart, am a busy man" Van replied
"What do you want Van, what was the purpose of this meeting" I folded my hands, knowing deep down he was cracking, with Daniel being on the top 10 billboards of the richest business mogul and enterprise. Van was on the edge of his seat. A wicked grin curled up on my face.
"You must be enjoying this" his eyes were full of rage, I took a sip of my drink, my eyes still fixed on him
"Enjoying what, Van am a busy lady, I believe you called for this meet-up because you have something important to say" I was running out of patience. "Out with it"
"I need your help, Mia," his eyes pleading
"And what makes you so sure, I will give it to you, Van I don't know what you are asking me for but I will gladly deny" I quickly added, how dare he try to use me against my future husband to be.
He laughed.
His laughter was filled with anger and mockery as it vibrated through me, drawing attention to where we were seated.
"How dare you" I retorted
"How dare I, how dare you try to act like a saint, I know your kind of person Mia behind all this facade, you are the worst kind of human, you may have Daniel fooled, but am not Daniel, I know a sly Fox when I see one" his eyes pierced into mine as I felt it inside of me. He was good, and that was the only reason I kept meeting him.

We all sat in rows, we just got the script for the new movie "VILLIAN". My role was easy, I would be playing Andy, the killer's lost daughter who was later killed, and my lines were based on a two-page. It was not much but I was appreciative.
The scene was performed great, and although we had issues with other actors, it eventually succeeded, my mind was still on the bizarre request Daniel asked, so I glanced through my phone, I needed to talk to Xander and explain everything.
I hated lying to him, it just wasn't my kind of person, A relationship based on lies does not last and I don't want to ruin the only good thing I have going on with Xander.

The deal with the investors went smoothly, with the crazy day I had, hearing this news brings me joy. The office door opens as Mia and my secretary Daisy walk in.
"I tried to stop her Sir," Daisy said, her voice worried
"It's okay Daisy, you may go" I assured her
" I don't like her, you need to fire her" Mia chipped in, her face fueled with anger
"It has not gotten to that love, she was just doing her job" I walked towards her and planted a soft kiss on her lips as she kissed back. "I miss you"
"Are you sure, cause you have been acting out lately" She stares at him, brushing past him to sit on the couch
"You know how busy I am Mia, of all people you should understand" I walked to my little office bar and filled two glasses with whiskey.
"I know but you got to make time for me also, I made a reservation at Elles, just you and me together, having dinner then heading back to your place". Mia added
I love the way she thinks as I handed her one of the glasses of whiskey. "Seems like you have gotten everything prepared" I lean closer, kissing her cheeks and forehead, I love this moment.
"You know me" a smile appeared on her lips

I stopped a cab as I got in, I gave him Xander's address as he drove off, and I quietly sat at the back, trying to picture how the conversation between Xander and I would end.
I was scared, I did mess up. The cab stopped in front of Xander and drove away, I got out paid, and thanked him as he drove off. I headed towards the door, I guess he was in, his car was parked outside, I used my spare key and unlocked the door.
"Xander" I called, my eyes staring at the hand beige bag on the couch, I picked up the bag and stared at it, it looked familiar, but I just couldn't figure out where I had seen it.
Faint noises kept coming from the bedroom as I walked towards it, my hand placed on the door knobs as I unlock, My heart shattered.
"Xander" I yelled his name as he stared at me and continue fucking Kaylee, she moan louder, filling the room. I couldn't believe my eyes as I stormed out of the house angrily, with hot tears streaming down my eyes.

Dinner was great, I held Mia close, and she leaned forward wrapping her hands around my neck, kissing me passionately as I kissed back, my hand slid underneath the red sleeve she wore, cupping her breast as she quickly unbuttoned my shirt sliding her hand into my pant. I quickly stopped her.
"Again" her eyes filled with disappointment
"Hey, there is no rush, we will make love with it at the right time" I chipped in, feeling ashamed of the lame excuse, this sickness is making me look stupid, I need Kelly.
"And when will that be" Mia asked losing her patient
"Babe" I tried to touch her as she brushed me off, picking up, her bag and heading toward the door, I tried calling behind but she ignored me flat.
My phone rang, it was an unknown number, I answered it
"Yes hello Daniel speaking, who is this" I asked
"It's Kelly," she said at the other end her voice sad and low
" is everything okay, your voice sounds different, are you okay" I was worried, I don't why but I was worried.
"Your offer, does it still stand"
I was speechless, I didn't know what to say, "excuse me"
I wanted to be sure I wasn't dreaming
or her a thing
"I said I would do it, I will sign the contract marriage with you " A smile curled up on my face, I don't know what changed her mind but am grateful.
“Welcome mum. I've been waiting for the time that you’d wake up. How was the trip?”, Mia asked as she rushed to Daniel’s mum and hugged her.“Hey, easy on me.”, Mrs. Vuitton said as she pushed Mia off her.“Oh I’m sorry mum. I missed you so much”, Mia replied with a warm smile on her face.“Oh really?, I didn’t know you missed me that much. If you did maybe you would have called me to check up on me”, Mrs. Vuitton said with a disregarding look“No mum, it’s not what you think. I've been busy lately”, Mia defended.“really busy I guess”, She replied and rolled he eyes. “So I’m back for the mean time and I so much want to have some fun. What are we doing for the night?”“For the night?, are you kidding me mum?”, Daniel retorted.“Daniel, mum here just wants to chill off. I’d say we go to the club tonight, right mum?”, Mia asked with excitement which soon died off when she saw the looks on Mrs. Vuitton’s face.“Yes right, but we are not going to some party or the club. That’s where the
Kelly’s POVI giggled in silence as I watched the reaction on Daniel’s face when his mother made a joke about her previous visit.“Mum it’s not what you think.”, Daniel replied in defense.“What I think?, or what I saw rather?”, Mrs. Vuitton said amidst her giggles.“Welcome home mum”, Daniel said as he rolled his eyes in frustration.“Welcome home Mrs. Vuitton”, I said, getting her purse from her. Boy this is expensive. “How about I take you to your room?”.“Oh Darling. That’ll be wonderful. Yunno what?, let the party continue till the evening. I gotta get some rest now. I’ll be back for all the fun. Let’s go now darling”, Mrs. Vuitton said and I escorted her up the stairs and to her room. I turned back just in time to see Daniel looking at us with a frustrated expression as he watched us ascend the stairs and I wondered why he was so worked up about her visit. Something did not just seem right.I took her to the biggest room next to Daniel’s and as soon as we entered the room, she a
The next day, Kelly woke up earlier than usual, she sprang up from the bed and threw herself into the bathroom. “I gotta get something ready before Daniel’s mum arrives”, she soliloquized. It was not up to three minutes when the decoration team came in with their items. Kelly screeched out in happiness as everything was beginning to take place. She indulged in every activity, from the decorations to the kitchen to the ensemble which Daniel had hired. She played the piano so violently it made everyone crackle up.“Hey, you’re going to scare the spirits away”, Daniel yelled from behind her. He walked up to her and tapped her on the shoulder.“Good morning Mr. Vuitton”, Kelly greeted politely.“Yeah”, Daniel replied rather lamely.“Hey, yunno that it wouldn't kill you if you come down from your high thrones and be polite enough to reply a greeting.”, Kelly hissed back at him. Daniel looked at her with less regard and proceeded to sit on the piano. “You say that I am proud when you play
“So you’re trying to tell me that my product manager is a mole in my company?”, Daniel asked.“from our calculations, yes he is”, Kelly replied.“And how did you get to know about this?”“I did a little investigation. You see, when you told me that the company line was monitored, I decided to go through the files and I discovered that the same day we lost our ship at sea is the same day that Van called you, which was also the same day that he called him afterwards.”, Kelly replied boldly.“and what did he have to say about this?”“He doesn’t know about the latest discovery sir. I told them to submit their phones which they did and his phone matched with the exact same one Van called”“Let’s not be quick to jump into conclusions Kelly”, Daniel said and walked over to the window.“But we’ve got all evidence pointing at him”, Kelly beckoned.“I know, let’s just keep an eye on him for now”, Daniel replied, “besides we’ve got something else on the way coming.”Kelly looked at him with a ra
“what did you say?”, Mia demanded.“Nothing. I meant to say that I am the one who saw it last before it was deleted and banned from the media.”, Kaylee replied.Mia gave her a suspicious look, “Okay, so what do you think about the video?”, she asked.“I don’t know, you saw it yourself right?”, Kaylee asked, avoiding her eyes.“I can't use it against her because Daniel made sure that it was banned from the media. I need something I can use against her that won’t point me out as the suspect”, Mia said.“look Mia, If you want to bring down my sister, you gotta do it yourself. Kelly is literally a Cinderella that has no friends, no worries, and an aspiring actress”, Kaylee said.“So you’ve got no use for me”, Mia said and proceeded to leave when Kaylee stopped her. “how about the money you showed me?”Mia looked at her with disregard and walked away leaving her there.*** Kelly was going through some documents at the office when Daisy walked in with a smile on her face.“I am sorry for i
“wipe her out?, what do you mean by wipe her out?”, Mia asked with a suspicious look.“What do you think I mean when I mention wiping her out?”, Van replied. He took a sip of rum from his glass and gave a pause before gulping It down. “what would it cost Daniel if I hurt Kelly?, tell me”“Well I bet it would be of good use to me with Kelly out of the picture, but I’m not going to be a part of it. I am not going to kill someone.”, Mia replied.“Who said that you’re killing anybody?”, Van asked with an evil grin.“Look, whatever your plan is, it should better not interfere with mine.”, Mia replied. She walked over to his bed and sat down.“Oh Mia my dear, what do you really want?Daniel or his wealth?”Van walked over to where she was seated and played with her hair.”“Get your hands off my hair”, Mia said as she slapped his hands off her hair.“Okay, Okay. But I’ll tell you something, this Kelly of a lady, she’s got something that’s attracting Daniel towards her. I don’t know what she is
