This time, I was sure I hadn’t misheard him. I was too shocked to react. I had thought he would ask for millions of dollars or perhaps for me to be his maid, but I never expected him to ask for my hand in marriage.It was too ridiculous. He had money, fame, and a handsome face that no woman would want to resist. Why was he so bent on making me his wife?I found it unbelievable. "Mr. Clinton, are you serious right now?""Do I look like a comedian or someone with time for joking?""But why marriage? Why should I marry you?"He had everything. Why would he want to marry someone he met for the first time? Did he have some kind of harem? Did he marry everyone who came to ask him for help? Did he want to make me one of his wives?As if he guessed what I was thinking, he frowned, his expression turning darker. Then he slowly walked up to me and pulled me into his arms."Oops," I groaned as I bumped into his hard, firm chest. It felt like hitting a rock, and my nose even turned red.Before I
He called a few people, discussing business, contracts, and all that. We got a marriage certificate and took pictures together.I looked at the paper in my hand bearing both of our pictures. I felt like crying. Did I just get married? Just like that?I imagined it in different dimensions and several phases, but none of them seemed realistic under such circumstances.As we both sat in the car, I was still lost in my thoughts about the sudden marriage. Enzo glanced at me, his new little wife. He seemed to study my features. I could feel his eyes on me. I knew I was very beautiful, with my small face and big eyes. My lips were full and my brows thick. Up until now I know, the ladies he ever got to meet either had plastic surgery done or used different layers of cosmetics. But I was just me, natural and composed.He placed a hand on my nervously shaking ones. "Alice, don't look like our marriage is a doom for you. You might think that this marriage of convenience is a bad thing, but be pa
Kyle was shocked to see his sister being held on the waist like a little girl. He was playing video games on his phone when they entered and was more shocked when the man that held her removed his dark glasses.Kyle can't help the shock that escaped his mouth. The man before him was like a Mafia male god in a video game. He's an ardent video game player, he knows every Character in such games by heart. "Sis, did you rent Diego Romero the Mafia male god to cure me?" He asked in wonderment.Alice disentangle from his hands and walked over to her brother timidly and pulled the hem of his hospital gown. "Stop it Kyle, show your Respects"Before Kyle could have to ask questions, the man's face that was screwed up in a deep frown broke into a very handsome and incomprehensible smile. He extended his hand for a shake, "Hello brother in-law, I am Enzo Clinton" Kyle looked at her sister shock, she was looking down in nervousness, Enzo Clinton's hand was still outstretched. When there w
After he left, Kyle dropped the game and faced his sister with keen eyes, "Now tell me sister, what's going on?"He was worried that she might have sold herself to him after getting heartbroken by Gaston. He thought that his sister might actually dated Enzo Because she wanted to spite Judy and Gaston.But thinking back to it again, that brother in-law just now too is too hot to handle, not someone that can agree to something without any gain.Alice felt that there's no reason to hide from her brother again, then she came clean, "You see Kyle, that man gives us 90%of your recovery rate if I married him, he will help with your surgery and you'll be free from the hospital bed for life"Kyle jumped up in shock! He didn't expect his sister to go to such extents "Sis you did what? So you're saying you married him so that he can perform my surgery?" "Yes, but don't worry, I'll divorce him after he performed the surgery, so don't worry about me and focus on getting recovered, that's all that
I looked at the chauffeur who had come out of the car to open the door for me. "Why are we here?""President says you should shop for clothes and anything else you might need.""What? Is your president picking his own money from the floor?""What?" The chauffeur was surprised at my question.I almost exposed myself right then. If I wasn't careful, the driver would have known that I didn't know much about my husband. My new husband was truly wealthy."Oh yes, madam." The chauffeur took a black card out of his bag and handed it to me. "President asks me to hand this to you. It's a platinum credit card. You can use it however you like.""Is he monetarily insane? Why would he give me a platinum credit card?" I wondered as I looked at the card, still reeling from the surprise. "Actually, I don't need it. It's alright, I really don't need it."I never had the habit of spending a man's money. I didn't want to know if this man was my husband in name or for real. While I was dating Gaston Veri
She left the mall with anger. The driver who had accompanied her watched her come out empty-handed and asked, “Mrs Clinton, Did you not see any clothes you liked?”“Rogers.” Alice didn't answer his questions, but tilted her head and asked him in a dominant manner, , “Do you know your President's contact phone number?” The chauffeur whose name was Rogers was stunned. “… I think I do.” “Please let me have it, show it to me.” Rogers was surprised, how come Mrs Clinton didn't have President Clinton's phone number? However, he was curious,, he quickly took out his mobile phone and found Enzo Clinton's number. Alice glanced at it and called Enzo Clinton directly. It rang for a long time before it was connected. “Yes, who goes?.” A cold, low voice sounded from the other end of the receiver. Alice was silent for a few seconds, she was nervous and afraid, before opening her mouth. “… It's me, Alice.” Enzo Clinton was quiet for a second. “This is your mobile phone number?” She didn't

Looking at this group of people crying and begging to change the past, Alice didn't feel any fluctuations in her heart.She wasn't the Virgin Mary.She couldn't forgive them after being insulted and scorned by them.If she forgave them, she would be a fool herself.Besides, she knew such people too well.A person's nature was difficult to change. They were all talking about her appearance and talking several things that she was a thief now the are saluting her?She looked at them indifferently. “I will not forgive you. The lesson I'm teaching you today is to know that you can never judge a person based on their appearance. I am not who you think I am”After speaking, she no longer paid attention to these shop assistants.She turned around and said to the manager, who was still looking sincerely at he
~Enzo~Meanwhile, before she left, As I pulled her to myself and kissed her fiercely. I felt something move from inside of me."Hazel!"What's that? I kissed her more fiercely, I don't want to miss this little moment of Bliss and joy. Alice Lewiston had let Serena and Judy made a fool of her, I'm not accepting that again.When she left with the security guards, I feel on the bed, relishing the moment, how I had missed this Moment of Bliss. She had actually kissed me?I covered my eyes rolling on the bed with joy.I rolled again then I heard that same voice again, like an old woman in distress "Hazel!"What's going on? I stood up and opened the door to see if anyone is there but the hallway is Empty then who's talking?"Hazel!" I heard again. I looked around looking like a total fool. I don't understand a thing or who was calling me. I don't know anyone by that naw Hazel then what's happening?
Then Attorney Howard added, "He actually arrived with me and is staying at the hotel beside here, he wanted to check the beach resort down the road. He wants a total reconstruction and reorganization including the apprentices since he will take over the share and asset of this business."That last sentence of the Attorney banged her ears.Alice's face reddened once more upon understanding that her apprentices were involved and there's a possibility for them to lose their training timed with her and she made it her obligation to pay the girls that came to learn from her little stipends, since she's getting money and she wanted to encourage them.Most of her apprentices were relying on their jobs at the beach resort for a living which supported their families, some were someone that has loosed hope in life and found some consolidation while working with her and it pained her that those apprentices would have to suffer because of her carelessness.Her eyes n
"Grandma, you look very beautiful, I'll tell Kyle to bring the Clothes to you when I've fixed the buttons" Esther released a wide and sweet smile to their customers as she shows thier clothes.She was sitting at rhe front desk, her sewing machine and other equipments were there.She had bought a shop to her name and brought fashion design instruments with the money she collected from Serena and Judy.Their family has been operating the shop for almost five months now and the business was doing well. She was now well known and popular within the province as the tailor.The basic features of he big shop were, section where clothing materials are sold, she also sold ready made Clothes that are made in companies and she lists them with a manquin. She also had a section where there were several fashion equipments for some girls that came learn the trade.She walked towards the Clothing materials section and saw two ladies that ca
At a bar around Enzo's Villa. Serena Britain and Judy Lewiston sat across each other glaring at each other with expressionless face until the sister served their coffee. Then Judy broke the silence."Can you tell me why you called me here Miss Serena? Or after chasing Alice away, what we need now is staring completion?"Serena room a sip of her coffee and placed the cup gently on the table and glared at her, "Your actions will determine what we came here for; now that Alice is gone, who's going to the Lion's den?""Did you mean Enzo?""Who else? This junction leads to his Villa"Judy sighed. She slipped the espresso coffee again and asked. "We don't need discussion about that, you can go to his house and sympathize with him of course. I can't go there because we're not in good terms"Serena glared at her, "You know that now that we get rid of Alice, I am still trying to think of what to do with you? Because thinking back at
Alice was taken to the house she had rented from online at Fairfield Town. The place was located at Northern part of the country which can be reached just by car.It took Alice ten hours to reach the place after spending some time in an hotel still trying on how to break the news to Kyle.She opened the car window slowly and smelled the sweet fresh air. It was a beautiful province where there was abundant greenery with lots of trees. This place was gifted with natural beauty.When she finally reached her destination and stepped out of the car, she couldn't help her tears from flowing as she saw the beautiful environment she was going live in as well as her brother in good health.Nowhere could be very interesting to stay at expect Enzo's arms but she had to accept her fate.Inside the house, Alice's father brother spoke up at last, "Now that we are here can you at least tell me what's going on?"Alice kept quiet.
A MONTH LATERAlice and Enzo arrived to Emerald Villa after long tiring day at the hospital. It's been long since Enzo performed a surgery before, but by reading some books and with Enzo's help, he was able to pull it off and came back successfully.She had seen Kyle, Enzo Ken had assured her that everything was fine and she could go home with Enzo. That was when her heart returned to the ame turmoil it has always been.During the past month after signing contract with Serena and Judy, she had been acting extra caring for him and even took it upon herself to cook for him. Even tho she was a fashion designer, Alice could cook very well.This day, they came back from seeing Kyle and returned home after a long day. It was finally D-Day, she had promised Serena and Judy that she'll only leave after Kyle is very okay and healthy.She looked at Enzo who was taking off his clothes, preparing to go for Lunch, a test slipped he
Enzo woke up inside his own room in his own Villa. He quickly rose up and rushed outside."Where is Alice?" He shouted and the servants rushed forward."Madam left earlier with bags"Upon hearing this, his head rang in Surprise, he quickly dialed her but her phone is out of reach.He quickly connected his men and servants including Personal Assistant Tony and Ryu Ken.Luke was the one who answered and said, "President, we do not know yet. Our men are still looking. We found you alone, asleep on the couch. The guards on post outside can't stop madam from leaving, you slept for 3 days. We quickly transferred you to the hospital and sent you here after the doctor confirmed you are fine and were only drugged to sleep."Luke's heart was beating so fast while he looked at his boss's dark face. He was clenching his fist and gritting his teeth.Enzo did not say a word and smashed all the things near him in frustration.His men did not
I walked in daze into Enzo office. He was working on his computer when I entered. Oh lest I forget, nobody stopped me when I was about to enter, infact I was welcomed with warm smiles by the receptionists and everyone.But I have no heart to care or mind whatever they are doing, the paragraph... WE COULD KILL KYLE AT ANYTIME keep replaying itself in my head that makes me feel as if I was the only distressed person in Europe.He looked up immediately I slide the door opened and our eyes met, meeting his warm and gentle face, I felts something stabbed my heart.My tears threatened to fall but I tried to hold it back and forced a smile."Hi" I said timidly and looked on the floor as I walked towards him. By now, his face was radiating in a handsome smile as he stopped What he was doing and concentrated on me.I got near him and made to sit opposite him but he stretched his hand and made me fall on his laps thereby our lip
"Par"!That slap is from me to Serena, what guts or audacity did she have to talk ill of my husband? Yes I agreed that I married Enzo for Kyle's surgery, that doesn't guarantee that anyone can bluff anyhow.Serena held her cheek and eyed me, her face blazing with anger and shock. I stood before her without batting an eye, I'm not going to be a petty doleful girl that they could bully."Clap, clap, clap" that suddenly came from Judy.Then she faced Serena, "You see what I'm saying now Miss Serena that this cousin of my got some guts? That's how she had also slapped me when I have her money, but I gave her the hardest slap"Miss Serena managed to struggle back to her feet, she glared at me with anger then threw a paper at me, "Take that... Read it and sign it now if you want to save your brother's life"Hearing Kyle's name my eyes lit up in shock, "What? Did you just say Kyle?""Yes Kyle, easy is boring sis
