Chapter 3

I got up early because I needed some cash on hand.

I planned to go to the bank personally because I would cash out a significant sum to find a fake husband.

"Madam, are you sure you will visit the bank personally?" I nodded at my assistant.

She used to do it, so she's ensuring I go out.

"I'll just notify the driver," I nodded at her.

"Good morning, Mommy!" I look at my daughter at my door.

"Hello baby, good morning!" I kissed her on the cheeks and hugged her.

"Are you leaving Andrea?" She pouted.

I smiled at her and made her sit on my bed.

"I will go outside because of business. Mommy promises to reward you f you have been a good girl." She smiled at me.

"I wanted a new color, Mommy, with a princess design."

"Sure baby, Mommy will buy that for you."

I bid my goodbye to her as she watched my car leave.

She waves happily.

As soon as the gate closed, I breathed out heavily.

I guessed this was the day to find a fake husband. I hope this is easy work.

"Madam, we will cancel the plan for the week?" I look at my assistant in the front seat.

"Yeah, I need to do some non-related work." She nodded and sent emails to cancel some of my meetings and meet-ups.

"Even the Simone Holdings, ma'am."

"Hold on," I instructed.

I contacted my dad.

"Yes?"

"Hello dad, Simone Holdings wanted to meet me. I wanted to ask why." I hear his sighs.

"Cancel the meet-up. I will be the one who will face them." I feel something is off.

"Are you sure, Dad?"

"Yes, you should focus on your business today. You only have six days left." It's my turn to sigh.

"Alright, Dad, see you soon. Love you,"

"Love you too, sweetheart,"

"Email the company that Dad will represent me."

"Okay, madam."

I enjoy seeing the view of busy streets.

I will surely miss this.

I wore my shades even though I'll go to the bank. It is for privacy purposes.

I noticed that the people started to look at me as I entered the bank.

We walked to the bank's VIP room and started the business. I signed some documents and waited while they packed the money in the bag.

I didn't believe I'm wasting much money to find a fake husband. I work hard to make this money.

I let my assistant and bodyguards leave the room ahead of me because I needed to retouch my makeup.

I instructed them to wait for me outside the bank.

I am scanning through my phone as soon as I leave the restroom.

A sudden commotion occurs.

"Don't move!" Did I see men in black with guns?

I duck down and raise my hand.

Many of the people in the bank started panicking; I never imagined that I would get into this kind of situation.

I saw some of the bank securities tied up, and some were shot.

I looked outside and saw my assistant and guards panicking.

The robbers started to get some stuff from the people inside the bank.

I didn't notice the man started to get my stuff and I gave him my things.

"Give that necklace," my eyes widen. This is our family heirloom.

"I have cash in there. Let me have my necklace. It is essential to me." I pleaded, but based on those devilish eyes, he didn't seem to care.

He pointed his gun at my head.

I hear a police siren outside.

"Make it faster!" He shouted, but this is very important to me. My mom gave me this when I was 18.

"Just gave it to him." I saw a man who didn't care what was happening. Is he their boss?

He's gorgeous. Tsk, tsk! That kind of face is deceiving.

I glared at him.

"I am not one of them, okay?" I rolled my eyes at him.

"I will count 5 seconds for you to give that necklace."

I feel irritated so suddenly.

"My mom gave me this! Can you just let me have this asshole!" I think I have done the most ridiculous thing ever.

"What did you say?" He got angry.

I look at the man who's laughing like crazy.

"That kinda nasty. I like it." Then he winked at me.

What a flirt.

"Jerk," I said to him. That made him stop chuckling then he cleared his throat.

"Hey, shoot her head." He instructed the man who was robbing me.

"That's absurd!" I shouted at him.

He takes off my shades.

I gasp. He seemed to freeze a bit and shook his head.

"Take this instead; it is more expensive than her necklace." The robber got my favorite glasses. "Her necklace is fake, don't exert effort getting her necklace." He looks at me in the eyes with a just-go-with-the-flow look. I got it and rode his act.

"Right," the robber seems to buy our act. I breathed out.

It walks away and starts to get stuff from other people.

"What is your name?" The stranger asks me.

"None of your business," I replied and hid my face.

"You seem familiar," I cursed in my mind.

"Really?" I replied.

"You look like-" he stops and looks at me like he's examining my face.

"Oh, you are-" I closed my eyes and waited for him to finish his sentence. "You are the light of my life."

I look at him and glare at him. I feel like I am about to get caught, yet he will flirt with me. I wanted to choke him.

"How can you dare flirt with me in this situation?" He smirks and sits comfortably.

"What do you expect me to do? Beg for their kindness and cry?" I rolled my eyes at him.

I hear the polices trying to negotiate with the robbers.

I gasped because one of the robbers pointed a gun at him.

He seemed like he didn't care.

"If I were you, I would beg for my life," the robber said, but he just smirked. Is he crazy?

"If I were you, I would put my fake gun away."

The robber seems shocked.

All this time, those guns are fake?

"Those guns are fake!" he shouted, smirking like a lunatic.

"How did you-!" The robber looks at me and grabs my hand.

I feel a sharp object pointed at my neck.

I heard the people inside shout in panic and cry for their lives.

I saw the polices open the door and start doing their work.

"Hey, let the woman out of this!" I started to panic for my life, please no! I have a daughter.
