Chapter 2) I want her/ Disbelief.

Marvin's pov,

“Did you threaten him with that on purpose, Boss? Are you really serious about wanting to marry his daughter in return for waving off his debts?”.

“I mean, why would you do that? Have you forgotten about the smug look on his face when he bragged about the new project his company was handling? Besides, you know he is not going to give his beloved daughter to you except the other one”.

A drop of sweat formed on Jeremy's forehead as he said to me, as if not believing that I could do something like that.

I grinned. Not because of the debt. But because of the treasure I could acquire because of the debt.

The person who had lit up my boring world without even trying.

Thinking about her, made the grin on my face grow dark. “I know he's cunning. And, you are mistaken”.

My eyes darkened, making him flinch, as I corrected him and made one thing clear to him: “I don't care about his beloved daughter. She is unworthy of me and can never bear my heir”.

I soon ran my fingers through my hair, “Since you aren't busy, why don't you pay someone a visit on my behalf?”.

As I said that to him, I rose from my chair. Staring at the silver mask on the desk made me halt. ‘She has no clue it's me’. I thought as I picked up the mask and wore it.

“Now this is better”. I said under my breath, and grabbed my suit from the valet stand.

On my way out of my office, I stood by Jeremy's side and grabbed his shoulder tightly. “Also, remember your place”.

I heard him gulp after saying that to him.

“And tell that bastard if he dares try to find a wife for me again, or match me with one of his puppets again, I will end his life”.

“He should put his attention on his precious son, not me”.

I walked away after saying that to him.

‘That bastard. How dare he?’. I frowned on my way.

How dare he act like he cares about me? After what he had done to my Mom by cheating on her, he ought to be glad that I had not put his head on a platter and served it to the dogs.

But I swear, if I find out that he had something to do with my Mom's death, I am going to kill him myself.

I ripped off my tie and tossed it aside as I thought of that and clenched my fists tightly, to the extent thick blood dripped on the neat tiled floor as I walked.

{PS: Five days before the wedding}

Georgina's pov,

I was in the bathroom taking a cold shower when I heard the door to my bedroom open with a slam.

I paused, trying to understand what was happening.

And before I could say anything, I heard Claire's impatient voice yelling, “Georgina, Georgina! Where are you?! Get over here immediately! It's an emergency!”.

I sighed in defeat. “What is she doing here?”. I muttered.

“Georgina!”.

She yelled my name again, and this time around, I knew I had to answer her. If not, I was only inviting trouble for myself.

“I am taking a shower”. I said to her.

“Well, I need you right now! Come out!”. She declared, but how could I do that when I was in the middle of a shower?

“Can- can't it wait?”. I asked her, not expecting that the door to the bathroom was going to open as she walked in without any warnings.

Her action took me aback and also made me use my hands to cover my bare chest.

“What are you doing, Claire? I told you I was taking a shower”. I said to her, and dared not raise my voice at her, even after what she had done.

I didn't want any trouble. Not today that I finally got a day off from work.

“I don't have time to wait for you out there, Georgina. Don't you know my time is precious and not to be wasted?”. She said to me. Her voice, harsh, before she smiled out of the blue.

“I got invited for the first time ever to the most popular party, Georgina. I must have been getting popular lately that they invited me”. She said to me, but I remained quiet, as I felt very uncomfortable.

She continued to say to me, not caring that she had invaded my privacy, “Every hot shot you can think of is going to be there. This is a great opportunity for me to expand my career to the next level”.

‘How is that my business?’. I thought and hoped that she would just leave.

Just when I grabbed my bathrobe and wore it to cover my body, I froze as soon as I heard the next words that came out of her lips, “I got two invitations. Am I not lucky? I want you to come with me”.

“I need someone who would help me hold my lovely gown as I walk, and someone to hold my expensive purse. I could not think of anyone else except you, Georgina”.
