98 Chapters

One: The invitation and an offer

Maren's pov “ You are cordially invited to attend the wedding of Dylan Crosby and Hannah Carson. Friday fifth of…..” Rylee reads but stops halfway and squeezes the invitation in and throws it in the dustbin. “The fuck is he thinking, sending you an invitation just three months after you guys broke up” she frowned. I could only smile weakly, my chest tightened and tears pricked the back of my eyes. Dylan was my boyfriend for ten years, we met during my second year of college. The very first guy that had shown interest in me, he was good to me in our early years of dating or maybe I was just blind to see that he is a red flag. He broke up on the night of our tenth anniversary, dumping me like some worthless whore after making many sacrifices for him, helping him with his business ideas, and putting my savings into various failed businesses of his. “I can't believe he asked you to marry him, only for you to be planning a wedding and the jerk decided to break up with you” Ryle

TWO : Reputation and a brunette

Gideon's pov I glared at my best friend, Jaxon as I drove into the underground parking lot of our headquarters. He laughed loudly when he noticed my stare. He knew I was annoyed about the idea of hiring a fake girlfriend . But I hate the fact that Jaxon, Rylee and Mr Eamon, the General manager of my team, are right, I need to do this if I want to have the sponsorship. “You won't have to do this if you have not put your dick in someone else's wife” he laughed. “Shut up” I hit the brake as I packed my car in an empty spot. “I didn't sleep with her” “Really? Does it matter and now you are expected to have a girlfriend. You should be grateful, her face wasn't exposed” He teased, and we stepped out of my car. “Fuck off”. He guffawed loudly, then suddenly stopped and I looked at the direction he was staring at. It was a familiar White BMW and there the owner steps out of the car, “Oh shit, it is Riley Hugo” Jaxon faked awed. As if she heard him, she turned and sneered “look who de

THREE : Disrespect and Self worth

Maren's pov I ran after him. I don't know why I went after him but I won't let me him leave getting all the satisfaction. Rylee had always told me to stand up for myself and this is my way of it. “Mr Patton” I called. He stopped in his tracks and turned to me, his eyebrows furrowed. I walked towards him and stop right in front of me. He is tall, I glanced up looking into eyes as he stare me down with those grey eyes. I cleared my throat, he folded his arms. “I want to make something clear, I don't know what kind of impression I gave you at first but I won’t do anything that goes against our contract” I breathed out. The corner of his lips lifted, I saw a smile but briefly. He is mocking me ?. “What things?, Miss Maren” He said quietly which made his voice deeper. He leaned down, staring into my eyes like he is looking for something. “I don't know…but I just want to let you know I only think of this as a business nothing more” I straightened my posture. “Ah” He also stood up

FOUR : Guilt and Contrite.

Gideon’s pov It has been three days since the meeting and I kept thinking about Maren, Not because Jaxon told me that I have wronged Maren but I can't stop thinking about her, I kept thinking of how her eyes widened and the way she laughed. Maybe I was wrong. She hasn't done anything to me for me to talk to her that way. But I was being careful in my own way.I stared at the file that contained her information. I have been debating whether to call or text her or follow her on Instagram instead. Is she not supposed to at least reach out to me first ?, I mean we are making an appearance together at a charity tomorrow evening. Or is she backing out now, she already signed the contract.No she wouldn't do that, I type her number into my phone and dial it, It rings for a while and she doesn't pick up.I checked the time, 10:39. Is she asleep at this time ?. I dialed her number again.She picks up and a sleepy voice cuts through my phone speaker, “Hello”.“Hello, This is Gideon Patton” I

FIVE: Kindness and Babe?

Maren's pov I placed my bag into the back seat of the car and slid in. I greeted the driver that Gideon had sent to pick me up. And I am so nervous, I don't want to do too much so he won't have the wrong idea again.I leaned my head against the window, I watched as rain splashed against the window . The weather in Seattle is unpredictable in Autumn, rain falling now and no rain in the next minute. When Gideon called me last night, I was surprised, I wasn't expecting him to call regarding his attitude on the day we met. I really hoped he would apologise but he just called to tell me he wants to follow me on Instagram and he hired a stylist ?. Hiring a stylist was a little insultive to me because I saw how he looked at my dress the other day. The car came to a halt and I didn't even notice that we were in an underground parking lot.“Ma’am we have arrived” The driver said as he stepped out of the car before I could open the door to the back seat.“Oh, Thank you” I was taken back whe

SIX: Breath in and out

Gideon's pov I fixed my tux jacket, walked down stairs and sat down on the couch. I glanced at my hublot, we have at least twenty minutes to make it to the event venue.I glanced around nervously, I had hired Antoine not out of guilt but because I don't trust Maren fashion taste. My stomach churned as I kept glancing at the stairs.Why am I nervous?I took out my phone to see if I was good to go. I have been this anxious before, maybe because I want to ask to be friends.Yes it must be that, then I saw Antoine coming down the stairs, Maren followed.I stood there, Antoine said I do lose my breath and yes I did. I was hypnotised. The way the dress clung to her curves like it was made to be on her, that dress was made for her.I cleared my throat and quickly changed my expression. I am only feeling this way because it has been a long time that I have been with a woman sexually. I walked towards her to grab her hand, “you look stunning” I complimented.Her face flushed “Thank you, you

SEVEN : Praises and Insults

Maren's pov My phone has been beeping for thousands of times since midnight, I picked it up and put on vibration. I was so tired from the event, from being questioned about my dress to trying to figure what to say when the obnoxious people asked about my opinion. It was tiring.I sat up groggily, still feeling sleepy as I steps down my bed. Gideon had sent me home immediately after we get back to his penthouse. He was mad by the end of charity event because of Dante.I entered my bathroom to do my Hygiene, when I am do I came back to my phone vibrate do much it almost fell down my nightstand, I quickly picked it up and answered the call it was Rylee.“Girl I was worried, have you check your Instagram?” She asked, she didn't even say good morning.“Good morning to you Riley and I haven't checked my Instagram” infact I haven't even logged in on Instagram since that night when Gideon called.“See, log in right now your Followers are skyrocketing and ignore the negative comments, I will

EIGHT : Cold act and Bruised Ego

Gideon’s pov I slammed back the puck before passing it to Jaxon. our coach blew his whistle, We all stopped, I skate towards the bleachers, throwing a glare at Dante when he skates past me. “You guys have done well in this practice, I want you to take this energy into the season” Coach says, “so today's practice will end today and Gideon and Dante I don't want any of your childish batters this season”. “Yes sir” Dante said throwing a look in my direction, I smirked at him before mouthing “Get ready to be benched all season” He saw this, his nostrils flared. He looked like he was about to explode. “So rest today and let's win this season's championship and bring the Stanley cup home!” our coach roared. I was about to leave the rink, when Mr Eamon called telling me to come to the headquarters. I drove there and walked into our meeting room to see Rylee. And I know it is the headache that comes next. I grumbled my greetings to them. “Ms Hugo suggested that you do a press conferenc

NINE: A makeover and Boyfriend duties.

Maren's pov.“This is so therapeutic” Rylee moans as lowered her body into the bath. Right row we are in spa that Rylee had suggest we go to before go get our hair done and shopping.“Yeah, it is amazing” I said as I closed my eyes, I was really surprised when I saw Gideon's message, No Hi or hello just straight forward, I don't even understand the man and his mood. I saw the text after I got off work and it was busy, traumatic day.And I am greatful for the day off, I should really quit the job after all I am earning more now. I grin to myself but first I will go back there with a brand new Coach bag and a nice dress and jack. And watch Flora’s face dropped.I am really nervous about the date shopping will I be paying for myself or… I mean he is rich he will have taste that I can't afford I don't want to own anyone.Rylee noticed my gloomy mood, “ are you still thinking about the comments?” She asked.“No that not it, I am thinking about the date” I whispered.“Why?” She furrowed her

TEN : Affogato and cookies.

Gideon's pov. I read through the list of places that Jaxon had suggested for me to take Maren. Which I disagree to at first because she had turned me down when I asked her out for dinner and I don't want the same to happen. When she said no for dinner and a ride, I thought she was trying to avoid me, and talking to Jaxon about it is a bad idea, he is mostly unserious everyday, except on the Ice. I had memorised the places more than I had memorised my answer to my press conference questions. The reporters are always stepping on one’s nerves, asking questions that they know they won't get answers to and it's like they rage baiting each time,making me almost lose my cool. I slipped into the backseat of the car, Mr Harris started the car and drove out of the parking lot, I glanced at the bouquet of rose flowers beside me that I had asked Mr Harris to get. Does she like roses? I don't even know. But I will give it to her anyway. Soon after we got to her apartment building in Pione
