Chapter 4

Cole confidently took off the veil and was surprised to see the unfamiliar bride.

“Wow!” He exclaimed and stole a glance at Naya who sighed and closed her eyes in frustration.

“I can’t believe how beautiful you look my darling, could you be anymore beautiful?” Cole exclaimed.

Brittany smiled and admired Cole’s adorable cute face. “I thought you couldn’t look any more handsome than you did yesterday, boy was I wrong, I feel like the luckiest girl in the world”

“Of course you feel lucky, you money hungry sloth, I’m sure she jumped in the moment she heard about $100,00” Cole thought to himself.

The paparazzi lights went flashing wildly in the face of Brittany as she smiled at her dear fake husband. While the only thing running through her mind were the things she would do with the money as soon as she received it.

Cole may have been the crush of many girls but no girl will want to be married to a guy they knew nothing about or never even spoken to before if there was nothing to gain from it, so it was very awkward when they had to kiss, Cole was also uncomfortable but his acting skills were great so he just pressed his lips against hers for about 5 seconds and let her go. For moments they both felt awkward.

Cole began to beam with smiles as the ceremony drew closer to an end knowing that the minute it was over he could have his normal life back.

Just then the couple were ushered to go sign their marriage certificates at the high table. Cole frowned “didn’t they say this was fake? If so why were supposed to sign a certificate” he thought to himself as he took his bride’s hand and led her to the high table.

Brittany also looked confused she wasn’t told she going to sign any marriage certificates what was happening. The confusion in their minds were perfectly hidden behind the smile on their faces as they waved the crowd, the bride grabbed her own seat and so did Cole they both sat down and looked at the papers before them. It wasn’t a certificate per say it was a contract between Malorie and Naya, the details of the contract had not been discussed about with the fake couple, yet they were expected to sign the papers.

Brittany panicked what if she didn’t agree with certain terms and conditions would she still be bound by the contract. Cole sensed her hesitation and he himself did not want to sign the papers but the media was watching they could sign it and later discuss the terms.

He leaned over and whispered Brittany’s ear.

“Just sign the raggedy paper, the minute we leave here this will all mean nothing” he said casually making Brittany giggle, the paparazzi seized the opportunity to capture the beautiful moment.

When the rest of the hired guest were dancing, drinking and enjoying the reception Sean went closer to Cole and whispered.

“Great job you did there what happens now? You’re married or not?”

“I’m still single the minute the ceremony ends, no one is going to tie me down and take half my money like Genevieve did to you” Cole said teasingly.

Soon the ceremony came to an end and Brittany rushed over to Naya who was at the reception, she pulled a piece of paper out of her bra and handed it to her.

“My account details, we’re done now right?” She said excitedly.

“Yes but there’s some new developments…”

“What? You can’t pay my money?” Brittany exclaimed in fear.

“No, it’s nothing like that… it’s just that the paparazzi got your images out there and…” Naya started but Brittany brushed her off.

“Forget about that, just wire the money to my account and we’re through, I don’t want to stay a minute longer in this gown” she took two steps forward and exclaimed with her hands in the air “yay I’m rich!”

Cole heard her as he walked into the receptionist booth and frowned.

“I knew she was a shameless, money hungry sloth but can’t she hide it till she leaves here at least?” Cole remarked.

His words pissed Brittany off she turned around with a frown on her face.

“And you are an attention seeking, two faced, sly bastard if it wasn’t for money why are you in showbiz anyway? Why don’t you go start a small farm in the outskirts of the country and marry and have many farm children?” She snapped back at him.

“Enough you two, it’s too early to start fighting it’s barely a minute after you two got married” Naya cut in.

“Great reminder, just wire the money into my account, I don’t want to spend a minute more in this dress or with this man” Brittany said and walked away.

“Wait you have to listen to the terms of the contract you just signed!” Naya yelled out but Brittany was too far gone to hear her. “This girl, is much rougher than I imagined her to be” Naya remarked.

“Yes I can that you have a good eye for spotting the crazy ones” Cole said sarcastically and Naya rolled her eyes.

“Well Cole… last minutes to the wedding things had to change, first was Malorie she made a deal with us, she paid 50,000 to publicize her new event hall on grounds that your relationship stays unproblematic and drama free for at least 8 months… because she’ll be using your wedding pictures and videos as a promotional material for the hall, so she needs a model relationship”

“What?” Cole frowned. “When did you plan that and why didn’t you tell me?” He yelled.

“See because there was little time okay, there was very little time” Naya responded.

“Was the the time so little to think it through? This marriage is already over the bride is gone how do we have that exemplary relationship you’re talking about?” Cole ranted.

“That was why I wanted to talk to you two, but you pissed her off and now she’s gone” Naya yelled.

“Well, I don’t care as long as I’m concerned this is your problem to fix, I’m done here” Cole said carelessly and walked away.
