A Billion-dollar Marriage Contract Chapter One
I don't think I've ever been more scared in my life than I was at that moment. I was still standing, locked in the four walls of the bathroom. My hands shook and avoided the door knob like a plague. Knowing he was standing just outside the door, waiting for me wasn't comforting. I stared at the two faint black strips. According to the pack, two lines means positive. For the third time, it was positive again. I felt hot all over, my feet was rooted to the ground. How?. How did this happen?. I didn't understand. I was confused. I jumped at the sudden bang of the door. "Why is this taking so long." He said irritatingly from the other side of the door. I opened my mouth to speak but no words came out. "If you don't come out here in five seconds, I'm gonna be coming in there." I panicked at his words. I immediately rushed to the sink and picked up the other two digital pregnancy tests. I looked around the bathroom for where I can hide it, but my eyes couldn't seem to focus o

It got dark fast and every member of the family was sitting at the dining table where we usually have our family meeting.My mom had prepared a lot for dinner, it looked like a feast. On the table was one of my favorite dessert, apple pie. I had to fight the urge from taking a slice as the situation looked too serious for me to be thinking about food just yet. “What’s up dad. You said there was an emergency.” Chloe, my sister who was five years older than I am said. Chloe and I used to be really close until she went halfway across the country for college and deserted her younger sister. We looked almost identical and many times people mistook us for each other. But then again if we were to be standing side by side in the same room, it would be easy to tell who is who between the two of yours. A few differences between our features include the fact that I had a darker skin and I looked younger. Also Chloe’s hair was now a strawberry blonde color. She had dyed it from her natural dar

We stared at the dozens of paparazzi that crowded the entrance of the church from the windows of the limousine.“Wow. They weren’t capping when they said it was gonna be the biggest wedding in New York.” One of Chloe’s bridesmaid said. I think her name is Daphne.“Who is they?.” Penelope, another bridesmaid asked. “The news, the internet, Twitter. It’s everywhere.” Daphne said.“Why am I so nervous? Is it normal for me to be this nervous? I’m not even the one getting married. Oh my God I think I’m freaking out.” Eva, Chloe’s best friend said. She was the only friend of Chloe’s I like. “It’s completely normal. I’m nervous too.” I told her.The limo was parked at a spot and how door was opened for us. We all stepped out and began walking down the short and narrow trail that led to the entrance of the church.One of the paps standing at the entrance turned around and immediately the rest of the swarmed around us like a bee, they were smart enough to stand by our sides and not block our
A Billion-dollar Marriage Contract Chapter Four
The large double doors were opened, the priest came into view and asked every to stand. It was the bride's turn, my turn.All eyes turned on me. The flower girl lined the path with white rose petals as the music started. My heart pounded hard in my chest. This wasn't really happening? Was it? It felt so surreal. I was only eighteen and I was getting married, an impromptu marriage for me. This wasn't how I imagined my wedding day. It wasn't supposed to be like this. I was supposed to be happy, I was supposed to be smiling. But I wasn't, there was no emotion in me. I didn't have the strength. I didn't want this, but I have to do it. I couldn't be like Chloe, I had to save my parents and their empire. I could only imagine what would happen when the veil covering my face gets lifted. I could only imagine everyone's reaction when they realize I'm not Chloe.Zach, my boyfriend. He was here. The love of my life was going to watch me get married to another man. How would he feel? What would

The first person to notice it wasn't Chloe that had exchanged vows at the altar but me was my best friend, Adriana. It had been right after Chris and I pulled away from the kiss. I had been unable to look into his eyes after as I couldn't help but feel ashamed about what I did. The fact that I kissed my sister's husband to me and liked it made me feel disgusted with myself. I had immediately turned to the audience searching for my parents to seek some sought of comfort from them. But my eyes met with Adriana's first instead and the way she stared wide eyed at me told me that she knew it was me. I had broken eye contact with her immediately and stepped down the altar. I needed to get out of the white dress immediately. My work was after all done there. I knew Zach must have been looking for me, he was supposed to be my date to the after-party but I doubt that would be the case anymore. I wasn't ready to see him or explain everything to him but I knew I had to do it. I owed him that mu

"What do you mean that was you?. What do you mean by that Lesley." His brows were furrowed, he looked genuinely confused. Zach never calls me Lesley. And although I know that is my name but hearing him call me that makes me feel really awful. "Didn't you say this was supposed to be an arranged marriage between your sister and that dude." I nodded my head. "Then what do you mean you wore the wedding dress?. What do you mean by that Lesley?!." For the first time in the two years Zach and I had started dating, he raised his voice at me. His eyebrows were lowered and pulled closer together. His eyelids became squinted his eyes were bulged, he looked so enraged. His lips tightened and curl inwards. My heart pounded in my chest, I had never seen Zach like this, seeing him this way made me really scared. "Zach, I-I had no choice. I'm the only one my parents have. I couldn't..... I couldn't watch them lose all they had strived to build for years. I just.... I had to do it. I'm sorry." My v

The wedding reception was a garden party held upon a day of blue skies and sweetly rising heat. so palpable and real. Delicate white florals, plenty of lush greenery, light linens, decorated the garden. Unlike at the church earlier this morning, there weren't that many people here. Just close family and friends. From distance I could see my dad having a conversation with Chris's dad. He was smiling from ear to ear. My eyes found my mom too among the little crowd and she looked just the same as my dad. She had a bright smile on her face too. Looks like everyone here is happy but me."Hey." A masculine voice whispered into my ear from behind. I suddenly jumped up, startled. I turned around and standing before me was Chris. My heart jumped at the sight of him. I stared into his deep green eyes and for a moment I got lost in them. His gaze were too intense and I just couldn't hold it. I broke eye contact and took two steps back when I realized we were standing too close to each other.I

The kiss was not that different from the one we shared at the altar. It was just as unfamiliar and shy. A chaste kiss. His lips were soft and moist yet they felt foreign against mine. It was nothing like Zach's. His hands felt cold against my cheeks, I could feel their slight tremble. He was nervous.I guess he really liked Chloe. I pulled away and gave him a cheeky smile. "Is that how you guys kiss in Greece?." I asked."W-what?." He asked. His eyebrows furrowed. He looked genuinely confused. "I mean you lived in Greece right?." I asked and he nodded his head."Yes I did." He added. "I mean you kiss me like we are middle schoolers who are just kissing for the first time.""Oh." He scratched the back of his head. "I just don't want you to feel like I'm rushing things. I don't want you to think I'm taking this too far.""What farther can this get? We are already at the farthest place already. We are married, remember." I pointed out."That's true. I guess I just want to do things at

"Lesley!." Anna shrieked as I walked over to my locker. She wrapped her arms around me hugging me tightly to her body. Her hug was so tight I feared she would cut off my oxygen circle. "Oww Anna you are going to suffocate me." I managed to say. "Oh shit sorry." She said as she pulled away. She grinned at me and I frowned at her. "I could have died!." "But anyways that isn't important. What is important is that, have you heard the news?." She asked with large blue eyes. Adriana had always loved to gist, and gossip about everything. Her eyes usually spike up at conversations like that and her eyes are usually as wide as they are now. "What news?." I asked with a small frown. She face palmed herself. "Lesley! Do you even attend this school? You never know about the hottest gossip in school.""And that is why I have you, to tell me about it."She nodded. "That's true. Anyways..." she looked left and right before ushering me to come closer. I took a step closer and she lowered her v

There was a knock on my door. All part of me had been expecting it to be Andreas seeing as I left the house all evening with Chris and didn't get back until late at night. My body shook from excitement as I walked towards the door. He came just at the perfect time, just when I needed him. I wasn't as drunk as I was before, but still, I was just as horny as a rabbit. I was already anticipating all we would do. His warm hands were all over my body and his soft lips molded mine. I could only hope he wouldn't reject me like he did that night. I pulled the door open and my face fell. My heart dropped in my rib cage, I was extremely disappointed. Standing at my doorway was the last person I expected to see. "Chris," I called. "What are you doing here?." I asked.He had gone to his room the minute we arrived so why was he here now? I found myself asking. His eyes were fixated on mine, staring intensely into them. "Can I come in?." He asked and I nodded."Um yeah, of course." I opened t

"What is wrong?." Mr Jackson asked looking from me to Chris. "Did I say something wrong? Did I get the name wrong?." He had this nervous look on his face. I was expecting Chris to say something, anything to tell him who I really am. But he didn't, he just stood there rigid and tense. "I'm Lesley," I spoke up. Chris might want to make people think I'm Chloe but I wasn't going to let that happen. I mean I can't leave my parent's house, my freedom, and be living with him only for him to want me to pretend to be my sister in front of other people. "Oh, my bad. I must have gotten the wrong name then. It's a pleasure to meet you, Ms. Lesley." He stretched his hand out again and I took it."The pleasure is all mine, Mr Jackson." I gave a polite smile."If you would excuse me, Mr. Storms." He gave a curt nod before walking away. The air between Chris and I was stiff after. Chloe has always been a tough topic for him to discuss. He usually becomes all quiet and tense whenever her name is m

We pulled up outside the gate of a large building. A vast compound lay before the building. "Why aren't we going in?." I asked Chris. Wondering why he didn't want to park his car inside the vast compound like the others had done. "It's gonna take longer to drive out if I park my car inside." He got out of the car and I did the same. Carefully arranging my dress so that the high slit wouldn't show more than I intended to do. We started walking towards the gate and I could see the long pathway that stretched to the front door of the building. "What is this place?." I asked mesmerized by the luxury before me. I couldn't help but notice the cars parked in the compound as we walked down the pathway. Most of the cars were luxurious cars that cost a fortune. It was safe to say that everyone inside the building is freaking wealthy. "This is Mr. Smith's house." He said, cooly. What in the world...The building was so high you would have to crane your head far backward to see its full he

The rest of our ride home was awfully quiet. I couldn't help but notice it. It was almost like Andreas had little to nothing to say to me. After leaving the pharmacy, we stopped at McDonald's to get some burgers and fries. I had asked him for what he would like to other and he replied with just "anything." I was left with no other chance but to buy him the same thing as I had. Each time I asked him a question he replied with either a yes or a no and if he didn't have an answer to my question he would shrug. I end up deciding to not say anything anymore or ask him any questions. He was mad at me, I know it but what I didn't know was why he was mad I mean I had my guesses but I wasn't exactly sure if that was the reason, if I was right or not. I mean why does he care so much about me getting pregnant? He was acting awfully lot like my parents or worse a brother I never had. But, I don't want him to be my brother or act like it. I wouldn't kiss my brother if I had one. "Why?." I sud

School was stressful like always. I was relieved when the last bell for the day rang. Without wasting much time I walked out of the class, Andreas standing just in the hallway."Hey, handsome." I greeted with a grin. He smirked at me and my eyes lingered on his bee-stung lips. I wanted nothing but to pull him close to me and kiss him hard. But I couldn't do that, not with everyone here. Aside from the fact that I'm not really into PDA, high school students are the worst when it comes to spreading rumors. The rumors about me dumping Noah for an old rich man had just died down, I didn't want another rumor about me kissing my bodyguard to brim up. They wouldn't understand that my marriage isn't even real, it's all a sham. Not even Adriana knows that though Chris and I live in the same house, we seldom see ourselves."Hey, ready to go home?." He asked and I nodded. He cleared a path for me through the busy hallway till we found ourselves at the garage. "I almost forgot how busy high schoo

"Stop! Stop please." I told Andreas. He was hovering above me and was about to kiss me when he froze at my words. I could see the confusion brimming in his eyes as he looked up at me."What? Did I do something wrong?." He asked with widened eyes. I shook my head at him. Suddenly I felt so exposed to him. I was in my birthday suit and he, he was in his boxer briefs. I pulled the bedsheet and wrapped it around my naked body. "Did I do something wrong, Lesley?." He asked again. There was this fear in his eyes that he might have hurt me in some way. "Did I...hurt you?." I shook my head. "No, no Andreas you didn't hurt me. You didn't do anything wrong either.""Then...why?.." he trailed off."I just, I'm not in the mood anymore." I shrugged my shoulders. It was the half-truth. The other half was that less than twenty-four hours ago I had been with another man. I might be a hormonal teenager but I'm not really into sleeping with two men in less than a day."Oh." That was all he could s

I did have a good night's sleep. The best I have had since I started living at the Storm's mansion. I had slept so soundly that I didn't even hear my alarm ring. It wasn't until the morning sun hit my face that I jolted awake. I stretched my arms in my bed as I sat up and then took a glance at my bedside alarm clock.Shit! It was almost eight o'clock and school started at eight thirty am. I was going to be late. I jumped out of bed quickly and dashed to the bathroom. I brushed my teeth first before washing my hair with my favorite vanilla shampoo. I could smell myself, I still smelled like sex. I scrubbed my body after, washing off any remnant body fluid from last night. I had been so tired when I got back to my room the previous night that I didn't bother with taking a shower or washing whatever body fluid was left on my thighs. I wrapped myself in a clean towel when I was satisfied with my state of cleanliness. I walked over to my closet and got dressed in this cute top I had boug

I was so startled that I didn't move for a few seconds. I stood still as he moved his mouth against mine. He pulled away slightly."Kiss me back!." He whispered against my lips and then covered my lips with his again.I might have wanted Andreas at first but maybe Chris was just going to have to be the one. I started kissing him back. My fingers found their way into his soft hair and fisted. His tongue darted out and licked my bottom lips. I didn't hesitate before opening my mouth wider for him to invade my mouth with his tongue. I let out a moan as his tongue met mine. He tasted like vodka and apples. Suddenly I was in the air. He had lifted me and my legs were wrapped around his waist. My nightwear rode up to my waist exposing my bare ass. He let out a growl when he realized that I had no underwear on.Without breaking the kiss he walked us to his room and then he sat on it with my legs still wrapped around him. One hand left my face and trailed down to my breast squeezing it firm
