Chapter 14
Alex pov:Today is when I'm going to execute my plan of getting my fake wife. I know it's not going to be easy to implement. However, it's now or never chance. It's not like I have another option or my parents left any loophole in their threat for me to manipulate. I want to keep my post as long as I'm alive.My bodyguard called me, telling me that the girl was in my basement office. She was now getting conscious. So I reviewed my plan for the last time after a bit of contemplating it. I made my way to my basement office, signaling my advocate to be there on my call. He will be the one to discuss the claws on my behalf. I make the contract to benefit me in all ways. I spent my whole night making that thing.The elevator stopped, and Roman entered, giving me a wink, but I could see the concern on his face well enough to know that he cared."You ready," he asked, giving me a concerned look. But I know he is more bothered about that girl than me.I saw hisChapter15"Roman get her," to which he responded faster than ever. He approached her from the back and grabbed her by the shoulder, making her scream all the colorful words in one go."Leave me you fuck**g idiot or I will stab you with a butter knife.""You are so dead the moment I'm free!"Roman put her down in that chair and took hold of her until we were sure she could not hurt herself or us. She is still screaming, irritating me a lot, her voice killing my eardrum."Shut up!"I yelled while I banged my fist on the table, anger dripping in my every Word,"."Listen to me, And listen to me very well Regan Oxford. You are going to do what I'm telling you to do, or you will lose the one and the only thing you hold precious to your heart." I said. Making my voice sounds like a demon roar."Give me the papers Peter," I asked my advocate extending my hand to grab them."Yes, Sir, here they go. I made it the way you want it. On page three, I have
Chapter 16Regan pov:-"I'm not even sure if that really happened. I must be dreaming a very bad dream, and this is going to be over soon," I whisper out loud while walking back to my apartment. I just signed my life away, and everything is going to change. I am no different from all the prostitutes who sell their bodies on the side of the road every night because what I did today seems identical to them. I sold myself to a billionaire and agreed to be his wife for two billion dollars? Am I that worthless?NO, what the hell am I thinking? I have to do that, or he would have harmed Shawna. I can live up to that day. She is my best friend, my only sister, and the only person left on this planet that I can call my family after my real family's death.I reached my apartment, opening the door in the middle of the night, the sky filled with lighting above my head, and there was no light on the street "hell, this lock is stuck again," I tried and tried, but that freaking lock d
Chapter 17: -With the morning light, I knew my new life was knocking on my door with so much force it might break me down. It's scaring me to the core, and it's making it hard to keep my head up and leveled with society. Things that should not happen are playing in my brain, pros, and cons, for my previous decision lining up on my blank brain board, but the cons are more than the pros. I have to go past this negative thought as soon as possible because there is no turning back now. I'm doing this for Shaw and only for her.With my last breath of negativity out, I made my way to my shower, getting ready for this day to get down and get over it. I'm going in to meet his family today, and then I will go for my dress selection and makeover to look like a lady from a good background. I haven't received a proper meal in days, and now it's showing its effect
Chapter 18Regan pov: -Yeah, let's go. Why not! I stood up with my fake enthusiasm and saw his smirk drop like a bomb.Haha, take that richly bit*h."Let's go then," he said, taking my hand into his, kissing my knuckle, making me simile for the heck of the show. But on the inside, I was gagging. 'let's move before I throw all excellent food on your face. I muttered under my breath.I might be incorrect if I say this house is big. Because it's freaking mention!! There were endless rooms, all having their separate bathrooms and walk-in wardrobe, these people were filthy rich, And here I am, who is struggling to put her one-time meal.
Chapter 19I was counting the seconds when something caught my eyes or more like someone."Hi," I screamed, stopping whosoever my lifesaver was. By the look of it, he looks like a butler to me. With his black coat and sleek hair, he reminded me of Herbert Cadbury from the cartoon of Richie Rich.Oh hell, my imagination is on. If you give me a yellow ribbon right now, I would probably stuff it in my face thinking it's a banana."Can I help you, miss"?"Regan, my name is Regan. I'm here with Alex, and I wondered if you know where the dining room is? I lost my way while searching for the washroom" He gave me a skeptical look but said nothing and started walking, waving his hand in a sign that said Follow me.So, I followed him like a lost puppy every turn. Every corner was a fascinating image of wealth and power. Every chandelier I saw was like a diamond hanging from the sky. This place was so beautiful but so sad at the same time. It was like someth
Chapter 20..............Regan pov: -With the energy I came up with, I turned my mind and body in Alex's grip. I turned, coming face to face with Alex, whose eyes could freeze the whole Niagara Falls. His stare down with his brother added too much to my dismay. When I looked back, Xavier's face was not any different than Alex's.It was like he knew that there was something more than it looked like. With every calculating gaze he sent my way, I realized that it's hard for me to keep my loving face up, For the task of being an ideal girlfriend will not be that easy.Alex's cold breath with a bit of warmth was sending shivers down my back.Bad Regan, evil
Chapter 21Every day after that day in the boutique was like a life of a fancy haze. The announcement of our marriage to the media. Distribution. Everything was like I was in a Disney movie, and the prince charming would come and fetch me from this misery, but I know it's not true. My life was not a romantic movie or novel; it was my real life where I have signed my life on a piece of paper to a devilish king.Today is the very day when I'm getting married to the devil himself. I was all dressed up to be the perfect bride. The gown was so beautiful that it's hard to define its beauty as it hugged me in all the right places. My hair and make-up were done by some high-class stylish, but it was not some high-class marriage like it should have been. There are only a handful of people in my marriage—Alex's parents, Best man, bridesmaid, and a few more people I don't know. I feel so alone that it's pinching me like a hole in my heart.I wish Shawna were he
Chapter 22He is an arrogant brat who is taking a toll on me; he is trying to break me and make me hollow like he is. But not anymore.I composed myself to meet his eyes for the first time after I gained the title of 'His Wife' and aimed as many daggers. I hoped he would tatter and break, but instead, he just walked off the altar to accompany his friend to the reception party, leaving me standing there alone but not for too long. A girl with blond hair came to help me off the altar with a cute smile."Oh, sweet Jesus, you are prettier than Xavier mentioned. You are beautiful." I was shocked that Xavier talked about me, but who is this girl. She was so beautiful that she could easily make any guy fall to his knee. Clutching my hand in hers, she led me outside, where everybody was enjoying my marriage. Xavier came and stood before us, his hands folded on his chest, and he was staring at the girl next to me, to which she blushed."Aisling, I told you to
