_Bella Davis' POV_

I stared at the multiple papers that were sent to me this morning from West Tech industry (that was the name of Avery's company). I thought Luke was actually joking when he was talking about me pretending to be Avery's girlfriend yesterday, seems he was actually quite serious.

I flip through the papers i was expected to read and sign by this twelve noon, and I was expected to memorize at least some basic things in Avery's life because I would be going to see him by twelve noon as well.

Today is going to be a long day.

I looked at the wall clock by my left, the time is currently fifteen minutes past nine so i had barely three hours to read and memorize everything I could about the obnoxious egotistical billionaire Avery Tamer.

Just great.

Grabbing the cup of coffee I just made and moving over to my tiny table by the wall side, careful not to hit anything in my cramped up apartment which was really just a single room.

I set the papers down, taking a sip frombmy cup and putting on my glasses. Let's get this over and done with.

I picked up the contract reading it carefully.

A Contract between the contractor West Tech Industry and The Contractee Bella Davis.

Contract time is not definite and could be for a few weeks,a few months and even a few years until Avery Tamer regains his memory. Until the time of contract elapses you would be a contracted worker for The West Tech industry.

Hold on! A few years? Depending on what? What if he never regains his memory? I'm not saying that he won't, I'm just saying what if.

Am I expected to still pretend to be his girlfriend even then? What if he asks me yo marry him? Should I marry someone I don't have any feelings for? This needs to be changed.

Ignoring that, which i took as an obvious mistake, i continue reading.

No part of this contract may be edited or changed.

So I'm just supposed to take everything without editing anything I didn't like?

You are expected to accept everything without editing them even if you don't like them.

Clause One.

No one is to know of this contract  which includes Avery himself and any one from the Tamer family, the knowledge of this to an extra party would lead to immediate termination of this contract and a penalty.

Clause Two.

You are expected to move in with Avery for the period of the contract. Your apartment is simple not adequate.

I couldn't help but laugh when I read that.

I should move in?

Yeah no. I am not moving in with that man, I am definitely not going to be doing that. One of us would die if I do that. And it wouldn't be me.

Clause three

At the beginning of every month you are to be getting a payment of ten million dollars which would be sent to the account which has been created for you

No, no.

This is actually too much. I can't accept this.

I made a mental note of all the clauses i needed to be edited which apparently was all of them brcause it had just three clauses.

Thank goodness.

Bringing my phone out of my pocket I dial Luke's number. He answers on the first ring.

"I want everything changed. I can't pretend to like him for years and I can't move in with him and I cant accept that amount of money. Change them all." I say all in one breath hoping he heard me and I didn't need to repeat.

"Good morning princess. How are you doing? I'm fine, thank you for asking. I slept wonderful too. Thanks for caring. Wonderful weather we are having, don't you think?" He quips and I roll my eyes at his sarcasm.

I really wasn't in the mood for all these this morning.

" How are you Princess?" I ask sarcastically picking up the papers containing Avery's information.

"Why isn't Bella here yet?" I hear Avery ask in the background so I'm guessing Luke was currently with him thrn.

"She's on her way. I think." Luke replies to him and I roll my eyes. On my way, my ass.

"Look Bella. We both know Avery won't be this eay for long, and your current apartment is not safe for a young woman like yourself to be in. No one would believe that Avery Tamer's girlfriend is staying in q place like that so they would obviously think that something is off. And we both know you need the money, so don't refuse it. Sign the contract, read Avery's files and comr here as quickly as you can." And with that the line went dead.

I guess I can't get myself out of this. Picking a pen up, I sign on the contract as quickly as I could, closing it up.

I have an hour and thirty minutes to go through Avery's file and get ready to see him.

I just hope none of his family members are there.

My notification sound came on and I looked at my screen, it was a text from Luke.

'The latest iphone is being sent to you along with some clothes. You can't be using that phone as Avery's girlfriend. Gotta make the story believable.'

Oh my days.

After reading through his files and memorizing as much as I could.

Avery Micheal Tamer. Born on 16th March 1996. Last child of his parents and the CEO of West Tech industry.

Well that much everyone knows.

He has two pet cats, billions of houses around the globe. He apparently loves gaming and Riding horses and reading?

He has an on and off girlfriend and they broke up recently.

That means i have a rival.  Just great.

After reading through everything as fast as I could. I showered and dressed up, wearing the clothes Luke sent over. And soon enough I was standing in front of his skyscraper. Not sure of why exactly I was here.

    “ Oh, welcome Avery" Ava called out, sounding all sweet and cozy.Avery paused to see Ava walk up to him. He hadn't been expecting to see her here and wondered what game they were trying to play right here.“What are you doing here? Who invited you over?" Avery asked sternly as she tried clocking her hands around his.Ava, hurt by these words, stepped back a bit, her face downcast on being rejected even before she could attempt.“ I did," Victoria's voice rang out as she replied.“ I thought it was only going to be a family meeting. Why then allow a stranger to reside in our condo?" Avery asked with a scorn etched on his. He knows well enough that his vicious stepmother will be looking for means to get him to be with Ava again.He ignores her and walks to the empty set aside for him. He sits beside Henry who kept his head down since he walked in. On his right is his father, Richard Tamer, who destroyed the family after he had taken a second wife and tried stealing the company from Ave

    “I am just going to see a friend's Dad since she is out of town. I hope you don't have any urgent work for me right now" Luke asked." No, I am fine. You can go on with what you have to do. Any work I have, can be handled when you are back”.Luke replied okay and left the office. He pondered on what had happened with Avery lately. He had forgotten about Bella and has fully recovered his memory which seems to be a good thing but bad for Bella. Bella is hopeful that the strings of fate will pull them together. He still sees the love vividly displayed in her eyes whenever he goes to visit her.He drove steadily to the hospital with no worries. Mr. Anderson had discovered what had happened and came to realize the pain his daughter was undergoing. At first, he was grieving at the discovery and had withdrawn to himself for days. He finally relieved himself of the pain when Luke took him to see Bella. He knew he had to be strong for his daughter and improved gradually and visited when he was

    " Are you saying that he will have to pay heavily for the termination? Why do you think I would want this?” Cove asked patiently, watching the expression of Henry." You want this as much as I do. I know of your experience with Avery in the past and it wasn't a pleasant one. Avery drowned your business and you tried to work with him but he bluntly rejected you. He mocked you and put you in the position you are in. You had to go underground to get support and investment to start again. I know you want this, so why not work with me and get what you ever desired? “.Cove Brown's eyes were fixed dazedly on Henry. Cove is a tall, refined man. His dark curly hair and thick eyebrows leave ladies drooling. With his broad shoulders, he stood firm and showed a successful gain from weightlifting. One could be said to be Avery's height and with a close look, one can mistake him to be Avery's brother.“ What's your take on this? I know you won't help me if you don't want something in return. I am

    ***Avery had fulfilled his company task at hand and was genuinely content as the company was growing in height.“ Avery, I need you to go through the contract Cove Hub sent to us. It is against our terms and they are solely insisting that there would be no adjustments to it,” Luke announced, barging into Avery's office, his expression denoting the matter to be a serious one.Avery goes over the file, his expression changing to that of a stern one, “ What does this mean? Call them up and state clearly to them that if they don't make changes to the contract, we won't work with it. By the way, who arranged this contract with them? I have always known Cove Hub to be mean in their dealings and never wanted to work with them following what happened in the past '' Avery said.Luke paused for a minute, staring at Avery." It was Henry. He met up with him and they worked this out” Luke replied." You mean that Henry was the negotiator of this contract. Who made him the head of the company to

    Avery nodded, not noticing anything amiss.“Can I have the inventory in all departments? Prepare the invoices for the supplies and orders. Set up a board meeting and that will be all for now” Avery said.Luke nodded and stood to go about the order as instructed. He paused as he heard his name and turned to Avery.“ Luke", Avery called out. “ Thank you for everything", his eyes describing the sincerity of his words.Luke smiled and walked out of the office.Avery picked up the telephone and dialed his secretary's number.“ Please inform Henry I need to see him right now if he is in," Avery said, his voice loaded with authority.He scanned the file that he got from the PR department. A knock interrupted his session.“Come in," he said, looking at the figure who entered." Welcome Avery, I didn't know you were back till I got a call from your secretary. Hope the trip was productive. I heard you went on a business trip” Henry sounded cheerful with his fence of facade built high.Avery saw

    Luke hung up. He knew Bella's dad to be a jovial and easygoing person and loved his personality.“ I need to go to bed right now, as I have a working day ahead" he mutters under his breath. He stood up and walked to his room, getting into bed, his heavy eyes shut as he dozed off.***Days passed quickly and Tuesday arrived. Avery highlights from the plane. He looks around and knows he has stepped on the very place where his fate goes and wonders what next will play out. With Bella's discovery, his enemies will decide to use this time to cause damage. He enters the limousine that the airport had arranged to come to pick him up.“Welcome back, Sir" they all chorused at the sight of Avery. Avery with long strides and stoic expression that carries an air of affluence and distinction. His presence derived a collective greeting from his staff as a manner of respect and authority.Avery paused for a moment, looking at them, he nodded at them and walked into the VIP elevator that was used onl
