3. Preperations

Daisy's POV :

I was shocked when I found that he selected the exact ring I liked the most. And when he didn't even ask the price and chose it, I saw the manager's face go into utter shock which he covered immediately. He must be thinking that this husband loves his wife so much. Only if he knew the situation..!! I am a pathetic contracted wife, pretending to be Mrs Harrison for money... And this is all for a show... Hm... Anyways, i have signed in so i should act accordingly. I just followed him as a noble wife. This man is best at acting as he is showing the world about how much he loves his wife.

When we went out, Melvin was already back and we went to Harrison International Hotel nearby. I noticed that all the staff wished for Ben, then it struck me. He must be the owner of this hotel, that is why they are way too polite to us. Oh my God, the Harrison's group a famous international one. And i am now married to its CEO.

We went to the King's suit, which was huge and Melvin informed me that it is only used by Ben. It was almost like a luxurious apartment inside.Its not like i never stayed in luxurious hotels, but this one was marvellous.. Melvin instructed the staff to arrange the clothing in the walk-in closet. After fifteen minutes they were all done. I was standing near the balcony when Melvin informed me that I should get ready in half an hour as we are going to meet Ben's family.

I felt nervous again as he mentioned the word family. I have betrayed my family, and now I am helping someone to betray theirs. I felt pathetic. But all the decisions were made, I quickly swallowed my ego and move toward the separate small room on which my things were arranged.

I immersed myself in the warmth of the water, I could not help but rewind today's incidents. I can't believe Vicky's betrayal. And the events followed. I can't even believe that I agreed to become a fake wife... Before I could control it, I went full-on sobbing. After ten minutes I was back, and inside the walk-in wardrobe, I found the most expensive designer clothes everywhere. 

'Oh God, why does he spend so much on me, I can return the ring. But the clothes, even if I returned it won't be the same. Whatever it is, I will return everything at the end of the contract. I will only accept the money he offered, nothing more.'

I know his family must be highly influential, so my choice of dress should be simple but elegant. I chose a delicate rose pink a-line gown with a floral overskirt. Soft opalescent flowers are scattered throughout with more gathering at the waist and hemline. This dress features a low back and a train. And it fitted her perfectly. Once I got dressed, there was a knock on the door.

"Madam, I am the makeup artist, I am here to help you for the occasion. Please open the door once you finished dressing.'' I heard a female voice from outside.

Even though I don't like it, I can't refuse as it must be according to Ben. I allowed her in but instructed her to apply minimal makeup and preferred to keep my curls open as the dress had a low back. After ten minutes I was all set. I used small elegant jewellery to compliment the dress. And finally, I was ready on time and went out to see Ben busy with his laptop. There was nobody else in the room, so I just cleared my throat as I don't want to disturb him but also inform him that I am all ready.

He was fully into his laptop on working mode. When he looked up, the irritation on his face was replaced by surprise. But the next second it was gone and he stood up and straightened his clothes and said: "You're ready ??".

" Yes..." 

"oh wait a second..."

But suddenly he stopped and extended a box to me.

" It's the ring, wear it and don't remove it, as people who are going to be around us soon have microscopic eyes."

I took the box from him and put the ring on. Hm... I got one of the most precious rings on my finger, not by love, but by faking. I sighed and followed him.

When he reached the door, he extended his hand. And I gave him without another thought, I know as it is his native place there must be eyes everywhere. When we stepped out, Melvin looked at us like he was praising us and gave a genuine smile. I gently smiled at him.

" Are you going to smile all day to her, or should I go alone??"  there I again heard Ben's arrogant tone. Even though I should address him as Sir in private, in my head I will call by his name only. Just to satisfy my ego. I don't know how Melvin is managing his arrogance. Why can't he be nice to his employees?

Melvin looked at him for a second as if questioning. Hey, I must have mistaken it, then lead the way with a smile. we followed and a brand new limousine was waiting for us. Ben helped me to get inside the limo as my dress was floor length. Right then camera's we're flashed on us when we were hand in hand and I was surprised, not surprised, panicked.. because I never wanted my identity to be revealed to the public. And when we got inside the limo, Ben said, 

"Melvin, take care of them. I don't want her face to be placed in any media. Not just now, in the coming days too."

"Okay, Boss." Melvin assured.

And I felt relieved. God only knows how the evening is going to end. Too much drama for a day!!
