CHAPTER FIVE

Archer POV

I was in hurry to reach my office early this morning because that idiotic friend of mine , Xavier said that he left the file related to my soon-to-be wife in my office and said nothing else before hanging up on me.

I don't why but I am kind of nervous and excited to know about her. But i just shake those feeling and grabbed the file from my table and immediately started to read her profile.

Name: Ysabella Cullen

Age: 26 yrs old

Address : presently living with her family.

School: attended medical in Harvard University in Boston.

Straight A's student

Graduated as summa cum laude in her year. ( Wow)

Relationship: Single.Never had a boyfriend ( double wow).

According to the file she attended school with the help of a scholarship. It's confusing, why doesn’t her family paid her tuitions? Anyway a lot of rich people like to be scholar. So I dismissed that!

Next thing confused me to next level.It is mentioned in the file that she had a part time job too while in college? For what? Why?

I continue reading it and came to know that  she was never seen in any business parties and galas. ( Meaning she's not involved in her family gathering ) what why?Isn’t she the only daughter ? There’s so many questions and I have to find out the answers before she barge into my life.

I need to know this girl and she is the only one that can give me the answers.I dial the first number given in file and it went to her assistant.

"May I talk to Ysabella Cullen" I said in a calm confident voice.

"Excuse me sir, I will let doctor belle know there is someone on the phone for her. She's busy studying her patient case at this moment. Can i get your name please?" she asked professionally. I gave her my name and Then heard a knock on the other side. She was talking to Ysabelle  and told her about the phone call.

"Hello"came a sweet and a very calm voice after a minute.

"Meet me in La Belle Italian restaurant at 7pm. Don't be late" I kind of ordered and hung up. I did not bother to hear her response.

The rest of the day went by fast because i have to attend series of meetings. By the time I was done, it's already five thirty.

I  went to my house and had a quick shower while thinking about the women whose been bugging my system the entire day.

I reached the restaurant by 6:45 and went to my usual table.While waiting, I reviewed some important emails and replied to them from my phone.I caught a glance of someone standing near my table.I looked up from my phone and beautiful but simple women was standing in front of me.

I checked her out from head to toe for a second , but then saw her staring as well. She greeted me but i was lost in checking her out that i did not respond.Then i asked her to have a seat and she immediately obeyed.

"I think you already know who I am. And I bet you know what I want to talk to you about" I said while staring at her in the eyes, not blinking once.

She was looking at me like she is trying to figure out what is going in my mind. I kept my face neutral and stared back at her.

"Honestly, I don't really know. I am confused why?" Was her reply. So now she is playing innocent.But I am not up for her games. So i asked what I had in mind without beating around the bush.

"Cmon' I know what your up to. You want money right? Your father is in need of an investor because your company’s bankruptcy. "

"I don't know" she said again while looking down at her lap.What game is she playing, it is clear that she don’t want to answer my question directly. She has no idea how much pissed I am right now.

"You don't know? Or you just don't care? All you want is my money right? Your family will gain a lot  from this marriage and this fucking contract which is totally unfair. I have worked so hard for my company, I was given all of me for its success. And suddenly grandpa want to take it all from me if I don’t my you.”I seethed at her but got no reply in return. She is still looking at her hands listening silently.I felt bad for a second and thought may be she is forced too. But brushing that thought aside i continued.

"How much money did my grandpa offer to your family? Don’t you know why my grandpa want to marry us? Because he think your good. Fuck that! I don't really care how did you save my grandpa.It is your duty and we paid you to do it anyway" My anger was out of control right now and my mind is not completely registering what i am saying to her.

"What kind of women are you huh?” She flinched a little hearing this.Good! A reaction, now you know what i am feeling, i thought. ”What did you do for my grandparents for them to like this much that they want you to be their daughter-in-law? I know something is wrong and I will uncover all your facades. And you will regret this. I will make your like a living hell and that's a promise!" I leaned forward so that our faces can be closer to each other.

I waned to see the fear on her face but I was wrong. I didn't see any hatred or fear. Instead all i saw is sadness and loneliness in her eyes.I don’t know why but after seeing her like this, I wanted to comfort her.

But then I shook my head and thought.... No, this is all just a show, a sham to manipulate me just like what she did with my family. And I will never be part of it. Never! I won't fall for her act.

"Look at me" I ordered but she kept looking towards the ground.Then i raised my voice a little, keeping in mind that we are in a public place."I SAID LOOK AT ME “She diverted her eyes towards me scared by my outburst.

That is what I want. To see fear on her face because her life is going to be hell since she decided to play this game. I won't let you win over me.

"Here" I put a paper on the table and pushed it to her side."This is an agreement between us. Our marriage will only last for one year and we will get a divorce after that. There’s a pre nuptial agreement as well.Sign that too. You will not get any amount of money from me. Understood?" 

She nodded a little but did not move to sign the papers. I was getting frustrated so i asked her to sign quickly.

Then she immediately signed the papers without looking at me. I wanted to wait to see her reaction or anything she has to say but i was pissed of by this innocent act of her’s ,so I grabbed  that agreement and walked out without saying anything further.

I don't want to think about what she looks like. I don't care what emotions her eyes showed.Those all can be fake. I been with different women and I know how much fake a women can be. They can manipulate anyone easily and would try to take their advantage. But I don’t want to be like one of those people. I don’t want to regret something later on by trusting her now. 

I quickly drove towards our usual hang out place. I went towards the bar and tried to spot Xavier.

"So?" He asked

I shrugged my shoulder and I ordered a drink.

"She is a beauty with brains man.You are a one lucky guy" he said while laughing at me.

"Lucky? Really?” I turned and faced my friend,” That women just want my grandparents and my money. It's all just a big scam nothing else " I spat and drank the glass of alcohol in one go.

"Easy man! Your going to be drunk soon if you keep drinking like that! " He said with a little worry in his voice. 

"Nah I am ok!"I said while looking around.I found a blonde girl, staring at me like i am her meal and I winked at her. She slowly walked closer to me swaying her hips and biting her lips. I kept looking at her, never breaking the eye contact.

Coming near me, she immediately sat on my lap and I circled my hands around her waist, squishing it. She started kissing my neck and whispered to me."Mind going somewhere private for some fun?" She massaged my chest and I squeezed her butt making her moan. 

"Sure babe" and I guided her outside towards my car and slipped in. We went to near by hotel and the rest you already know. 😏😏😏🤫🤫🤫
