Did I hear well? Or was I imagining things?“What?!” I turned to look at Mr William. The seriousness in his eyes told me he wasn't joking but I still found it hard to believe.William sighed and relaxed more into his chair and said, “It’s going to be a marriage contract between me and you, you become my wife and conceive my child and I'll cater for your every need”This was too surreal, too good to be true that I had to ask, “Why? I am no use to you and we are not of the same class”“You shouldn’t be worried about that, that's my problem. All I need is for you to act like my wife in front of everyone and convince them well enough. Are you willing?” If his face wasn't so serious, I would have really thought this was just a prank.A fake marriage with a billionaire… What games was fate playing? Is this what it means to have struck gold?I wouldn't have had too many problems with the idea except that… “Urmm, I have a five year old son, he has been diagnosed with down syndrome” I spoke up about my condition.The only person that mattered to me was my son, if he didn't want him then the deal was off without second thoughts… my son goes where I go.Mr William shrugged casually with batting an eyelid, “It’s no problem, he will be well taken care of and given the best medical care”I released a breath and nodded, “In that case, I have no objections, I agree to the deal” it all sounded crazy when I heard myself but it was really happening. It was just yesterday that I was calculating how to work overtime to buy some essentials for August and today I was signing a contract with a billionaire, some supreme being must be working for my favor.“Great, my lawyer will prepare the papers so you can sign. I would love to introduce you to my family as my wife to be” William's face turned brighter at my answer and he said.“Oh, right now?” I stammered in surprise. Why was he in such a hurry?“Well yes, if you are not busy. You and your son will have to move in with us” he answered.I glanced at the Manager who had been watching quietly and he nodded with a smile, “Don’t worry about work, you are dismissed” he said.I snickered and returned my gaze to William, “Okay but I would have to pack and get my son, will you be able to wait Mr William?” I asked.“Sure, no problem. And please call me William or just Will” he replied as he stood up.I nodded and and stood up as well, we greeted the Manager goodbye before I followed Will to his car. The drive to my house was awkward, I was still getting used to this marriage contract of a thing and Will's intimidating presence made me shy. Soon we arrived at my house in a few minutes because it wasn't that far from my workplace, it was a one room shabby apartment.“Do you need help?” He asked when I got out of the car.“No, I don't have much anyways” I replied then walked into the building alone. I really didn't have much so in about 20 minutes I was done packing me and my son's belongings into a medium sized luggage, I rolled it out and Will helped me put it in the boot of the car.“Now, I have to go get my son. Please wait here, he's just across the street” I said before walking away to the building opposite mine. I usually left him there for the nurse to babysit while I was at work because of his condition.August was a happy child despite his condition, he was so happy to see me when I arrived at the place, the thought of him finally having a better life brought tears to my eyes. I picked him up and hugged him so passionately and he hugged me back too.“Hey, baby, how are you? Did you have fun today?” I asked him with a warm tone.“Yes!” he cheered and laughed, my heart warmed in an instant. I always wanted him to be happy every time because he was everything good in my world.“Awesome! Come on, let's go to our new home” I said after saying goodbye to the nurse. I began walking to William's waiting car and when I got there, I gently put him inside the backseat of the car and sat beside him.“We can go now” was all I said and William grunted in reply. I noticed he was staring at us from the mirror so I looked away. I didn't like the pity looks I got when people stared at me and my son.A second later the engine roared to life and we began our journey to a new chapter in our lives.***Thirty minutes later, we arrived at the Carter Mansion. It was even more majestic and beautiful than the pictures on the internet, it definitely didn't do enough justice. I had to consciously remind myself to close my mouth because it kept dropping in shock.We got out of the car and together with August, we stepped into the building. The inside was ridiculously more beautiful than the outside even when I thought nothing could beat the majestic outside look. It was brightly lit with chandeliers and everything screamed expensive, they would definitely cost a fortune.This time I couldn't stop my mouth from falling open, I was completely lost in the beauty of such an estate. I guess the family owning the best real estate company in the country was true, their family house was the best example of what they could do.“Eww, what are beggars doing in our house?” The unfamiliar voice pulled me out of my thoughts and then I heard footsteps of heels clicking.Related chapters

Lily's POVA woman walked down the stairs to meet us, her eyes were on me the whole time and she had a clear look of disgust on her face. I unconsciously looked at my body, I was wearing a short and slightly revealing gown. Its full length stopped just a few centimeters after my ass and a deep v at the front that exposed the sides of my breasts. It was my typical work outfit so I didn't think it was that bad. Do I really look like a beggar?“Who is this, William? You cannot just bring any random person from god knows where into the house, what if people saw you?” the woman spoke up again. She was taller than me and had some resemblance to William so I guessed she was his sister. Apart from that, there was something familiar about her that I couldn't quite put a hand on at the moment.William had a straight face and didn't look moved at all, instead he cleared his throat and said loudly, “Can I have everyone's attention please, I have an announcement to make?” The woman rolled her eyes

Lily's POV.“This is your room, William's room is just beside yours” the red headed Sarah said in a low voice as she opened the door that led to my new room. “Thank you” I replied as I entered my room with August and our luggage. After Arla had told me clearly to my face that she would make my life miserable, she stormed off and the rest of the family dispersed one after the other except Sarah, Damien's wife. She brought me up to my room afterwards so here we are.She stood at the door quietly while I placed August on the bed to sit. Then she finally spoke up after a few seconds, “You are very bold to come here, even with my ‘rich’ background, I still have to watch my six against the three Carter siblings” she started and chuckled slightly.I turned to look at her, she wasn't that bad, I mean she was the only person who tried to make conversation with me unlike the others. The house looked like a load of drama so I'll take what I get. I chuckled and asked, “Wow, are they that scary?”

Lily POVThat name rang a bell, a loud one. But it was just a pinch in my memory, where I had heard that name stayed hidden in my memory.“What the hell? Why is he calling me all of a sudden?” he muttered to himself as he stared at the phone, finding it hard to make a choice.William was nervous and just as much irritated. Whoever was on the other end of the phone must have tried to wrangle his last nerve.He stood up to take the call and left the living room. I would have hoped it was business getting him so worked up. I have never seen him so pissed off.However, my mind derailed into what was more important. The headline! I grabbed my phone and began to scroll through social media.Damnit! They were everywhere. Every major blog, bulletin and news site has the same headline. Whoever was leaking this wanted everyone to know.And boy, they painted me in no clean light.“Famous billionaire mogul settles down with a stripper and a single mother.” Mind you, the titles were kept in all c

Lily POV As soon as the room was clear of everyone except me and William, I sank to one of the cushions. My head was throbbing, edging to rip apart any second. “You should have told me your family was like this!” I muttered weakly. Don't get me wrong, I know right people can be like assholes a lot. I should have known that since I had the opportunity of being in the company of a lot of them who came around the club. But the least he could have given was a heads-up. He had spoken so calmly, I was reassured. It was a successful transaction but no one has said they would be the ”annoying sister who wants to throw you out of the house“ clause in our contract. “I would expect them to accord you with a lot of respect. I will speak to my sister!” He said as if he was taking a mental note. “This behavior is not to be condoned.” Believe me I understand that it was happening so fast. Their brother shows up with a wife and a step son out of the blues. I would be freaked out as we

Damien POVI walked around in my living room, pacing from end to end. My friend was seated on the sofa staring at me, tapping his foot on the floor. “Could you stop already? You're pissing me off with your leg tapping,” I yelled at Lyon. “Ay, man. How can I not get nervous when you're acting like the world is about to end. Seriously, your pacing is freaking me out.” Well, I can't blame him. Me being nervous was something that rarely happened. Besides, Lyon had no idea about what was going on. He looked clueless. I called him over as soon as the news got to me. As always, he showed up like the loyal friend he was. Usually, I would pop open a drink, and we would discuss work, life and the women who had been with us the previous night at the club. But this was not one of those days. There were more pressing issues at hand. “My brother is getting married, man!” I had expected Lyon to scream or match my restlessness, but he stood up and walked to the mini-bar. He grabbed a drink an

Damien POV Well, they were two truths and a lie. So far, I have been responsible. So far, I had been discreet enough not to get caught. Since my father's death, I have always tried to appear responsible for my mother and the rest of the family. They needed to be impressed if I was looking to capture their hearts. In truth, I hadn't been responsible one bit. I had only acted that way, so I could get into everyone's good books. I had completely erased my presence from clubs, but that didn't mean that I had stopped partying. The family house had been a confinement. That's why I moved out to a house of mine as soon as I had gotten married to have my privacy. Yea, I am married. But that doesn't mean that the fun I used to have as a bachelor became limited. More on that later. Under my wife's nose I still carried on with my frivolous lifestyle. While she was out at work, I would be back home with strippers and Lyon partying and turning the house into our private clubhouse. T

Damien POV Sarah returned home at a time that Lyon had gone home. Today wasn't one of those days that I would spend clubbing. I had a more important matter on my hands and the best mood I could be was to be sober. I was seated in the living room occasionally helping myself to a can of beer I had opened. Surely one can of beer was not enough to get me wasted. Okay you caught me! Three so far. It was enough to help me get through the tension of waiting for her to return. Today was the next checkup session the doctor had given us. It was the one where he would give us the way forward and I couldn't wait. Sarah took too long to freshen up but by the time she was done, I was already unto my fourth can of beer. By this time, I was dizzy but still agile and active and ready to receive whatever news they had in store for me. It was a long and quiet drive to the doctor. It felt long because we neither spoke or touched each other. Even the jazz I had asked the driver to put in the backgrou

Lily POV Life in the Carter mansion was everything and nothing I had hoped it would be. It was like living in a prison with luscious bessa and all you could want. The only thing you could and should look out for was the guards who wanted nothing more than to kick you out. The good part isn't overwhelm the dark bit that didn't mean it wasn't the reason my agreeing to this experience worthwhile. Let's begin from the mansion. Where to begin! It was huge. I had not seen or been anywhere somewhere as magnificent as this until a few days ago when William had held my shaky hand and led me in here. Down to the neighborhood, it was no place for a classless stripper and single mother like myself. That is not me being hard on myself. It was me telling the truth. What was even more pressing was the fact that I didn't choose this path. Everyday I stare at the mirror, all I see is the scar from all those years ago. The rough, untendered fingers of the man who had ruined my life all those year

CHAPTER FIFTY-THREEDamien’s POVI love when I set out to do one evil deed and a free opportunity to do more presents itself. I came today with no plan; all I wanted was to disturb Will’s peace a little, remind him I am still alive, and maybe remind Aria that she said she would help me inherit the company. But then heaven blessed me, and I found August outside.The boy had run to me, calling me daddy. I watched in amusement as he hugged my legs, giggling, then looked up and frowned.“You are not my daddy,” he said, puzzled.“No, I am not,” I replied with a sly smile.August giggled again. “But you look so much like him. I thought you were him.”“No,” I said, shaking my head. “But,” I continued “We are brothers.”I was amused that Lily’s son called Will's father. Lily sure knows how to make people take responsibility for things they did and did not do, just like she made me pay for... our incident. Now, she has Will playing daddy for August and her so-called unborn child, whom we are

CHAPTER FIFTY-TWOLily’s POVWill and I had successfully avoided work for an entire week, and Aria had been planning creative ways to kill me. But with Will always on my mind, I found it hard to care.Will thought I didn’t know what he was doing when he ‘accidentally’ locked my room door and lost the key, or when the maid ‘mistakenly’ dropped my laundry in his room. I didn’t say anything about it. I liked it. I liked to pretend I wanted my room, but if Will ever asked me to go to my room, I would die. Literally, I would fall and die.It was 10:32 AM on a Sunday, and August was free today. Will had his therapy session canceled so we could all go out as a family.I gently disentangled myself from Will’s body and quietly climbed down from the bed. I threw on one of Will’s shirts because I was too lazy to go to my room or find my clothes in his second drawer.Tying my hair into a messy bun, I walked out of the room to spend a little time with August alone, something that was hardly possib

Yes.Am I dressed and ready to go to work? No.Will I go? Hell no!I had called Toby again to tell him I wasn't going to make it to work. My excuse? I’m sick. Was I sick? No, but I would be if I didn’t taste Lily one more time. Lily had excused herself to go back to her room to get dressed. I’ll have to get her things brought here, or if she likes her room so much, I can move to it. It doesn’t matter, but all this separate room nonsense is not going to work.“You’re not dressed?” Lily asked, barging into my room to pick up clothes she left in my bedroom.“No,” I said, grinning.“What?” She asked, stopping to look at me. “Why are you staring at me like that?”“I like the way you entered my room like it’s yours.”Nothing can replace the pleasure of seeing Lily blush as she quickly disappeared into the bathroom to p

CHAPTER FIFTYLily POVIt was Monday morning, and I woke up to small kisses being trailed along my neck. I groaned and sank deeper into the feel of Will.It is Monday morning and after what could only be described as the best weekend in history, I do not want to wake up let alone go to work.“Open your eyes, Lily,” Will growled. “I know you are awake.”I did not open my eyes. I did not want to open my eyes. Maybe if I keep my eyes closed long enough, I would be able to keep him here in bed with me throughout the day.“Can we not just stay?” I groaned.“Of course we can, we can stay as long as you want but that would only give Aria more reasons to hate you and make the papara—Will didn’t get any other words out as I brought my lips to his kissing him gently.Will sighed into the kiss and wrapped his arms around my back and my neck drawing me deeper in.

Lily's POVOne day, I would rip out my heart and throw it away. It had made it its life mission to always embarrass me when it came to William Carter. I couldn't even pretend to act cool and composed around him, especially when I was this close to him. The only thing giving me comfort was the fact that our heartbeats were synchronized, and I could hear his heart too.He was sniffing my neck, nuzzling his nose against it, and gently running his hand from my neck to my waist consistently. I wondered why. Before, when he was just a client, he would quickly go straight to the point. He made sure I was comfortable first, yes, but there was hardly any cuddling or sniffing.“You have no idea how long I’ve wanted to do this,” he said.“Sniff me?” I had long ditched the thought that I would have any composure or class when it came to Will. My voice sounded like I was struggling to breathe, let alone talk, and that couldn’t be closer to the truth.Will chuckled. His voice was low, lower than us

Unknown POVWhoever said, "If you want something done perfectly, do it yourself," is a genius. It's been weeks since I told that idiot Greg to handle the matter of that new wife, and he's probably dead or avoiding me. He better be dead, because if I ever learn he's still breathing, I'll kill him myself.I took another deep inhale from my cigarette and puffed it out. I had considered killing Will's driver and taking his place, but that would make the death very traceable to me, especially considering the fact that William is obsessed with his new wife.I stood by the side outside William's house and waited. I liked to come here, to this house, and stand outside to catch glimpses of the kind of life William and his other family members lived. The kind of life my mother and I never got. I watched the news carefully when I learned that Carter was dead, waiting to see my name or at least that of my mother. I should have expected to see nothing.

Damien’s POV“I need to talk to you,” I said as I barged into his office. It was just as I remembered from the last time I was here a few months ago. He didn’t let me into his office often; he treated it like a sanctuary. It was decorated with awards and medals dating back to his childhood. Father had always been a winner—in class, in sports, debates, bets, business—he always won. He was not accustomed to the word failure. William had followed in his footsteps. Those two were the boring, nerdy bookworms nobody liked. But they won in everything; they were organized, neat, handsome, tall, and strong, commanding rooms filled with people. They were the all-work-no-play types people liked to describe in romance novels.I was not like that. I was the fun, smiling, disorganized, cool one everybody liked. At least, everybody liked me when I was younger, but ever since I came back from college months ago, everyone expected me to be who I was not. They expected me to be my father or William, an

Virtual meetings had been cut off, and numerous computers were down, causing disruption of work and weakening security.
