Mr Domineering Boss Stubborn Contract Bride

    PROLOGUETen years old Crystal walked into the house, her parents had forgotten to pick her up from school, it has been a habit so she wasn't perturbed, she was usually forgotten to be picked up by her parents just like today. She would just hitch a ride with Mrs. Ester, their closest neighbor, and mother of her best friend Starlia. No sooner she had entered her room that her mother came in to apologize.  "It's nothing Mum, I am fine" she replied to her mother's apology."I promise I'll make it up to you, I'll make things right" her mother said as she kissed Crystal's forehead and made to leave.Crystal turn to the other side of the bed and pretended as if she is sleeping as she listens to her mother's quiet footsteps walking away, a single tear came rolling down her cheek.      She jerked awake and realized she had fallen asleep, her parents raised voices echoed in her ears, it was actually what had w

"The CEO assistant is in charge of conducting the interview, I will direct you to him" he said. His charming smile didn't make him a talkative, Crystal thought,she just wanted to get a bit of information of her chances, anyways she would have to wait and see she thought. The receptionist left her in the care of another, who directed her to another before she was finally directed to the CEO assistant office. She knocked on the door and got a reply to come in. She entered into a very polished and cool office, the man behind the desk welcomed her and told her to sit, he looks like he is in his mid forties,he look cool but he isn't smiling at her like the receptionist, infact, he is frowning at her and her heart skipped a bit."I am sorry I'm late " she said in a hoarse and shaky voice, she cleared her throat and repeated herself so she can be heard."I was caught up in traffic"" You're lucky,the CEO isn't here yet, he is attending a business meeting, so wh

CHAPTER THREECrystal woke up to the sound of her alarm clock,  5 am, she wondered how her first day at work will be like. She is elated with her job but the prospect of seeing that arrogant CEO is not at all appealing.'Well, come what may,I will work hard and show him how smart I am' she thought to herself, she is going to change his opinion of her and prove to him that she is an intelligent, smart, hardworking, independent woman and that she does not take what she didn't work hard for. "I'll pay for that damn car and listen Mr Manuel, I'll make you take back your words, you dare to insult me" she muttered as she got of bed and went to prepare breakfast.She can't afford to pass a day without breakfast, she knows that she function very well if she have enough food in her stomach, nothing like starting her day with breakfast, her day will certainly go smooth. She quickly prepared omelette to go with some bread and ate quickly. *

Chapter Six They got to the venue of the meeting right on time.The venue of the meeting is an executive restaurant, expensively polished, she has never in her entire like be to a place like this and it is obvious with the way she keeps staring In awe, she realized that this is a meeting that will be held over dinner," I'm going to eat in this exotic restaurant" she thought" You're welcome Sir and Madam" someone said to them she turned to see a man in his fifties, looking dashing in his tuxedo, " this way please" he said guiding them towards the right-wing of the building. Rafael and Crystal followed him, he directed them to a table where they are greeted by an elderly man and woman."Please have your seat" they said. Crystal sat close to Rafael, their thighs almost touching, she can feel the heat emanating from him and she glanced at him to see if he noticed, she found him staring at her and she quickly averted her gaze. 

 Two seconds ticked past as Rafael stared at his friend. " you're sick, I'll do no such thing!" He boomed, he could imagine anything but marrying that woman. "Oh, yes you will, if you still want to have a chance of having Tripolis" Vince deadpanned ."How do you mean?"" She used you, you think she's working with the Miller, marry her to beat her at her own game" Vince explained convincingly." hmmm" Rafael replied thoughtfully, the idea didn't seem all that bad now. " yeah, you can still turn the tables on her by using her against the Miller, this time, as your bride plus you stand a chance of having Tripolis, think about it " Rafael arched his brow at Vince,  how hadn't he thought of this idea before he fired her? He would also get the chance to deal with her properly for choosing to side with his enemies. " Nice move" Rafael said moving closer to the window.
