" Christopher Andrews not Mr stranger " christopher corrected trying hard to contain his excitement although he's dissapointed .
She decided to marry him because of the money ,he knows he shouldn't be annoyed because of that but he just can't help but get furious at the fact that he had hoped she was different amongst others.
" Ohh okay Mr Christopher " she replied .
" I'll send you a text on where and when we'll meet ". He said and hung up immediately .
He chuckled lightly ...what was he thinking? That Olivia lane could be any better than that woman ?
Eventually he realized women are just the same .************" Olivia we need to talk ...." Her mother said immediately Robert fell asleep .
They both sat on their small sofa chair and her mother gathered her two hands gently .
" I'm sorry ....I know it's my fault ,I should have cautioned him with you ,maybe all these wouldn't have happened ....maybe you wouldn't have to let go of your college dream". Her mother begged crying .
" Mum it's fine ...." Olivia replied her voice cracking as they both held onto each other .
She'll fulfil that dream in just six months .....They both disengaged from the hug gently.
" Mum ....." Olivia called gently contemplating whether to tell her mum about the offer or not .
" What is it honey ?" Her mother asked and she sighed .
Her mother will never allow her marry a man for money even if it's just for one day so she can't tell her yet .....not until Mr Christopher has agreed to her terms and conditions!.

" Don't tell me this is the way you plan to dress to meet the heir to Andrew holdings ?" Matilda asked pointing to the big blouse and jean her best friend is putting on .
" He has a name you know " Olivia replied .
" Now take those things off ,now !" Matilda yelled and she did as she asked without questions.
Few hours later....
Olivia marvelled at how beautiful and huge the Andrew holdings is .her dream workplace ! Everything feels so unreal ....
She got to the receptionist who called into Christopher's office to let him know he has a visitor and directed Olivia who just can't get over the excitement she is feeling .
She knocked gently on the office door trying to keep her composure.
" Come in " a familiar voice answer and she opened the door and walked in .
She came face to face with two handsome men but the one she's getting married to sat on the chair behind the table and the other one sat in the sofa chair in the office ." Wow! I didn't know she is this pretty " David said making Olivia blush .
She definitely owes Matilda a lot ." Have a seat " Christopher said ignoring his friend's remark .
Olivia sat gently on the chair opposite Christopher .
" Coffee? Juice ?" David asked
" There won't be any need for that , she's here for business and that's all " . Christopher cut in before Olivia could say anything .Olivia smiled at David who she has suddenly grown fond of and just stared blankly at how cheaply Christopher was acting.
Christopher threw a file in front in front of her.
" These are the things you need to know about me ".
" What about me ?" Olivia asked
" I already know all there is to know ....plus this file contains everything on how we met and all that ,we need to get the story straight ". Christopher replied .
David sat down amusedly enjoying the scene in front of him.
" We are meeting my grandfather next week " christopher said and Olivia just shrugged .
" When do we meet your parents ?" He asked again and Olivia felt a surge of fear rush through her.
" I'll decide that and let you know " she replied and David chuckled .
He definitely like this girl !" How will I be paid ?" Olivia asked and Christopher just stared at her .
It's all about the money for her right ?
" You'll be paid 50 percent upfront and then the remaining 50 percent in six months ". He replied and she smiled excitedly .
" There'll be a retouch on your background Information ". Christopher said and Olivia glared at him.
" Are you telling me to lie about who I am?" She asked
" Are you going to tell my grandfather that you are a poor brat that stopped schooling in high school whose mother owns just a small eatery ?" Christopher yelled .
" What he meant to say was we just need to add a little spice to your story ,it's not totally lying " David immediately chipped in when he noticed his friend would scare the lady .
" I am not a poor brat ! And my mum owns a restaurant not a small eatery ! Just so you know I am not ashamed of my background! " Olivia yelled back at Christopher .
She never knew Mr stranger is such a cold jerk ! How is she supposed to live with this kind of petty man for six months?
" You don't have to take his words to heart Olivia ....what matters is the fact that you'll be getting paid and out in six months ". Matilda consoled her friend who wouldn't stop talking about how irritated she is with her "soon to be husband." " No Matilda ! How am I supposed to live under the same roof with that arrogant jerk ?! " Olivia complained ." Then don't marry him ! But don't forget the fact that he's your only ticket to ever going to college ". " I know right ......" Olivia pouted her mouth childishly ." So stop sulking and just play along with him ". " What should I do whenever he annoys me ?" Olivia asked " Just take a deep breath to calm yourself and then smile at him ". Matilda responded describing the way she should act .They heard a knock on the door and Olivia opened the door and found a package delivered to her door .She took it in and they unwrapped the big box ,their eyes widened with shock as they found a beautiful blue dress ,with a nude colour heels and
"Of course not ! What do you mean by fake grandpa ?" Christopher quickly said after he had regained his composure .Grandpa Andrews eyed Christopher suspiciously and went over to meet his grandson's fiancee ." Young lady what's your name ? ".Olivia sighed uncomfortably ." Olivia .... Olivia lane Grandpa" she replied forcing a smile .Grandpa Andrews bursted into laughter ,he liked this fearless girl that has the guts to call him grandpa on their first meeting ." Grandpa ? I'm not sure you can call me that yet ". He replied trying to scare her .Olivia glanced at christopher who seemed helpless just as she is and she shrugged ,maybe it's about time she shows this man how brave she can be at least that would help her earn Christopher's respect." I'm sorry .....but I like you already sir and I'm more than ready to become your daughter in law, can you allow me call you Grandpa please?" Olivia pleaded flashing her eyelashes gently at the old man who is shocked and excited at the same
" Mother I need to speak with you " Olivia said mustering all the courage she has. " What is it dear ?" Her mother asked while preparing to close up the eatery ." Promise me you won't get upset with what I'm about to say " " Just tell me already olivia ..." Her mother paused what she was doing and stared at her daughter for answers. " Mum ....I ...uhm .... I'm dating someone " olivia replied and the mother chuckled .She knew her daughter was seeing someone ,the late night outings even though she always lies to her that she's going over to Matilda's house ." Why are you scared of telling me that ? You are old enough Olivia ....I was just waiting for you to introduce him to me " .Olivia smiled gently at her mother knowing the bombshell she's about to drop next is going to definitely annoy her mother ." He already proposed mum and we are getting married in two weeks ". She replied staring at her shock strikes mother.Olivia's mother bursted into laughter not sure how to react to
Christopher and Olivia pulled to a stop in front of Olivia's mother eatery ." Welcome sis " Robert greeted cheerfully smiling more cheerfully at the man beside his sister .He overheard his mom and sister talking about his sister getting married to a rich man and he definitely like this man that drove this latest car to their eatery ." Christopher ...this is my junior brother Robert ". Olivia introduced and Christopher stretched his hand to shake him ."Don't let me dirty your hand brother in law , I'm really pleased to meet you " Robert said happily not taking his hand." He is not your brother in-law so keep your mouth shut and go and attend to customers now !" Olivia's mum yell and Robert squeaked off like a child ." Mum " Olivia called but her mum ignored her and walked out ." I'm sorry about that " Olivia said turning to face Christopher who just stood there with a stoic expression ." It's fine " " She won't be back till night with the way she stormed out , I'm sorry you mi
" I can't believe my little daughter is getting married today ". Olivia's mum said staring at her beautifully dressed daughter. " Me too mum " Olivia replied feeling sad at the fact that she has to lie to her mother ." I wish you a happy married life my daughter .... I'm so happy you are getting married to the man of your dreams " .Olivia sighed gently as tears streamed down her face .For a while she felt like backing out of the marriage .What will happen after six months? The divorce will hurt a lot of people most especially her mother who also got divorced .But she cannot possibly go back on her promise to the stranger she's getting married to and afterall her dream of going to college is worth the pain ." Mum she'll be fine , let's not ruin her makeup " . Matilda answered." Ohh I'm really sorry ,I'll just leave you two alone " . Olivia's mum answered wiping her tears and she walked out of the bridal suite . " Tilda ....do you think I'm doing the right thing?" Olivia asked
A comfy car took Olivia and Christopher to their supposed honey moon house that Grandpa Andrews got for them .Olivia has always fantasized about her wedding night and this is totally the opposite , getting into a car with a stranger to an unknown place ? That has never been in her wildest imagination. The journey was silent ,it seems the two couple enjoyed their privacy and silence so no one spoke until they got to their destination. Olivia couldn't help but marvel at how beautiful the mansion looked ." Wow ....this place is so beautiful ". Olivia said breaking the dead silence.Christopher just shook his head at Olivia and led them into the house. Olivia giggled and marvelled at every beautiful thing they saw in the house ." This is where we depart ,your room is over there .." Christopher said pointing to the room opposite his ." And you should never come near mine " he continued and Olivia rolled her eyes at him .She thought they were friends now but judging from the way he'
Olivia rolled and rolled on her bed in boredom .It's her first night and first time in such a large room and big bed but she just couldn't bring herself to sleep .She rose up from the bed and checked the time on her cellphone .12 midnight! Christopher is probably asleep so she is free enough to look around the house until she feels sleeping .She tiptoed gently ,the lights were all switched off so she contemplated switching it on but that might wake him up so she decided to just walk around in darkness .She walked into the sitting room but stood frozen when she saw a figure sitting on the chair.A ghost ? Or is it a thief ? She tiptoed gently towards the chair and grabbed the person by the neck .Christopher grabbed the fragile hand that held neck and twisted it then he heard a little yelp of pain .He quickly rushed over to see Olivia crying with pain on the floor ." What the heck are you doing at this time ?" He yelled holding onto her her twisted hand blowing on it ." Wai
Christopher woke up wondering about what happened last night .He still doesn't understand what he did to upset her.He stood up gently from his bed and picked up his phone from the table beside his bed and dialled David's number ." Hey man ! Good morning ,how is the honeymoon going ?" David's always excited voice greeted but Christopher isn't just in the mood for his jokes .He needs to know why Olivia is mad at him and that's why he called ." She's mad at me " he replied ignoring his friend's greetings ." Who is mad at you ?" David asked confused ." Olivia ...." He replied and regretted it instantly ,he knows his friend is going to surely tease me about it ." You guys are having fights already ? Come on ,I taught you better than this Christopher Andrews ". David said mocking his friend who didn't miss out the sarcasm in his remark ." Stop joking around David ....I don't even know what I did to upset her ". Christopher replied surprising David who is so shocked at how desperat
