Andy's POV:
I was inside his office already waiting for him, it's been half an hour, and he's still not here. I stood from the chair, walking towards the door when I heard his voice, I gasped running back to the chair, I sigh, I'm so nervous about this! Why does he want me here, again?
The door cracked open, I fixed myself looking at him, he wasn't mad, but he wasn't happy either. He walked towards his office, sitting on his chair facing me, holding a paper, reading from it, as if I didn't exist, "sir...you wanted to see me?" I started saying, he looked at me nodding.
"was that the guy from your notebook?" he asked directly, just like that, without introductions or anything, he went right to the point, "sir...what are you..." I started talking but he shook his head, "he's one of our employees, I assume I made that point clear the other day, it's against the company policy" he said standing from his chair, still holding the paper in his hand.
"He's not...more than a work friend, you don't have to worry about that" I said he nodded, sitting on the chair in front of me, I frowned."it's not what your notebook showed me the other day" he said looking right into my eyes, I shook my head, he doesn't believe me? "Sir, I assure you, you have nothing to worry about, I'm professional, and I’m aware of our company policy. '' I said as he nodded, crossing one leg over the other, he glanced again at the paper he was holding, then looked into my eyes again.
"Andy, the other night, when you pretended to be my fiancée in front of Chloe, did I force you in any way to do so?" he asked I frowned, shaking my head "no, sir" I answered, I'm confused, what is he up to?
"here, read it" he said handing me the paper he was holding, I start reading it but the big title caught my attention, I gaped from shock, while my eyes widened, I didn't need to read the rest, I glared at him unable to believe what is he offering me, I looked to the title again, reading it louder, "Marriage contract" I looked up into his eyes again.
"yes, marriage contract, that's what happens when you get your nose into people's business" he said standing from his chair, I looked down to see his signature was already there, I looked to the name in the opposite of his name to find it was mine, the only difference is, there was no signature below it.
I gulped, my hands started shaking, still holding the paper, I stood from my chair, "this is madness!! There's no way I'm agreeing to this!!" I said he turned to face me, walking closer to me, "you have to and you will" he threatened, I raised my face daring his glares, "really? Why would i?" I asked, I think It's a stupid question, I know he planned really carefully for this, I know him well, he wouldn't offer me this contract if he didn't know I'll agree eventually.
"because, you care a lot about your work, your position in this company, and all your hard work" he said, I closed my eyes, to hell with this work, it doesn’t worth all of this, a marriage contract would only destroy my life!
"Then, I quit" I said but he grabbed my chin with his strong hand, my teeth were hurting from his grip , I closed my eyes, I opened them when he let go, "fine, but you know what is our company policy, you'll have to pay, In cash! Other than that, you're mine!" he threatened, I gaped from shock, what kind of a monster is this? Is this the guy I was daydreaming about all the time?
He closed his eyes, taking a deep breath, walking away from me, "you don't get to decide Andy, you already took your decision, that night when you walked to the game by your own choice, I didn't force you to say your name, or take off your fucking mask, I didn't ask for your help, I was doing just fine, but you had to screwed everything up!! Which is why you'll fix everything!" he said walking closer to me again, pointing to the paper I was holding.
I sigh, closing my eyes, to hide the tears that they start to prick at the corner of my eyes. I nodded, he smirked, I looked at the paper I was holding, I frowned when I start reading it, everything that's been writing here is only for his benefits, not mine, for example, he can do whatever he wants while me, I have to stop working, and be a housewife, I glared at him, he smirked.
"I'm sorry, but this is not okay, I can never be only a housewife, I love working..." he nodded cutting my words, "fine, you'll work what else?" he nodded I was surprised that he agreed easily, "two separate rooms...agreed, both parties agree that se...agreed" I said blushing at this part, didn't want to continue reading 'sexual relations' loud in front of him, I can see a little smirk appearing on his lips, what a pervert!
"the first one to end the contract would be the one to pay two hundred and fifty thousand dollars...what? this is too much!!" I said, unable to stand anymore, " why? Are you afraid to pay already? Follow the rules, and you won't need to pay" he said, I rolled my eyes. I continue to read, " the contract duration is six months" I looked up at him, "I know, it's a lot to take, you're lucky that you'll have to deal with me, I'm not that lucky, since it's you I have to deal with" he smirked, I felt a pain in my chest, i was hurting from his words, i don’t want him to notice. I shake my head, he's such a monster.
"falling in love with each other is strictly prohibited...it's not like I have a problem with that" I lied, I love him. I gulped, "no one should know" I continued reading, when I was finally done, he sat next to me, handing me a pen, looking into my eyes, "how come you have all the benefits, while I got nothing?" I said, he shakes his head from annoyance, "you get to be the boss bride, this comes with a lot of benefits".
"At least let me talk to my parents" I said, he smirks, standing, putting his hands inside his pockets, "I already called them, and told them we're getting married, they weren't annoyed about it, in fact they were so happy" he said, my eyes widened, "you what?" I asked not believing his words, "as you heard, and now all obstacles are gone, let's end this!" he said looking at the contract, I nodded, holding the pen once again...and with that I was sure that this was the beginning of something huge.
After I was done, I was about to go outside his office, "get ready for this weekend, we're heading to Italy, to meet my parents" he said, as if Italy was only a few meters away from here, I nodded heading out of his office. This is unbelievable, two days ago I didn't even have a boyfriend, next month I'm having a wedding, a fake wedding, but it's still a damn wedding!
Andy's POV:I walked inside my apartment, still feeling daisy from all the madness that just happened. I just signed a marriage contract with my boss!! Not only that, he's also the man I've been dreaming about for a long time.As I entered my apartment I noticed Tress sitting on the sofa watching TV while a half pizza was placed next to her on the table, I looked away from her, how could I forget about Tress? Of course I can easily lie to everyone, but lying to her? I don’t think that’s even possible."So your mom called” she said stopping me in my tracks, I stopped walking closing my eyes, I took a deep breath before facing her again, she’s the only one who knows about my strong feelings for Harris, more specifically my boss."And?” I asked pretending that I have no idea of what’s she’s talking about, “Nothing, just the fact that you’re getting married in a month, and you didn’t tell me anything about it, but you know...it’s not like I’m that close to you or anything, I mean it’s jus
Andy's POV:Heaven... that's the word to describe the view I was looking at, white clouds were so real and fluffy, while the sky was blue and clear. I looked down to see the ground beneath us, too small. As the plane got closer to the ground, the world start getting bigger and clearer. I noticed patches of green fields. As the plane got even closer, I could see more details, like little houses and the cars that seemed like ants along the roads.I was so excited and overwhelmed from the view I was facing, I looked at Harris and pushed his arm a little to share the view with him but he only smirked shaking his head looking away from me staring at his phone that was on his hand.The feeling of sadness hits me, as I remembered that all of this isn’t real. How could I forget that this is just a lie? I looked away from him feeling sad, and face the view I was enjoying moments ago, only to realize that we have finally started landing.As we exited the plane, Harris walked ahead while I follo
Andy's POV:Harris’s parents were looking at me in an uncomfortable way, as if I was some prostitute or something, I start to regret this already. Harris hand left mine when they were finally facing us, his mom looked at him one more time before she could finally say something.“who is this?” she asked, I froze looking directly at Harris who was already looking at me. He wasn’t surprised by her question like me, he saw it coming, but why?...NO!!! He still didn’t tell them?? I wonder if he tells them what their reaction would be like, they already hate me.“This is Andy. mom, dad, I want you to meet my fiancée” he said with the most confident tone I’ve ever heard, his father smiled at him, then looked at me, “nice to meet you Andy, I’m Hector” he said shaking my hand then looked at his son smiling at him as if he was saying ‘nice choice’ . His mother still can’t react to what her son just said.“Well…I’m a little bit disappointed…” she started saying, I felt as if someone just slapped
Andy’s POV: We stood there both of us staring at Wendy, her eyes were wide open, she was staring at us. She cleared her throat, her face turning red. She smiled walking outside the room closing the door slowly, “sorry, didn’t mean to interrupt” she said after she shut the door closed. Harris and I both let out a deep breath we were holding, feeling relieved that she didn’t hear anything. Harris turned to look at me, “if you ever bring this up again, if anyone ever knows about this? It’ll be the end of you!! You know what will happen Andy, you do whatever you have to do, whatever feelings you have inside of you, just turn them off” he said holding my neck tightly, he was hurting me. I closed my eyes trying to get rid of his grip, but his grip was tightening even harder. “p-please, I’ll do whatever you say, just let go of me” I said almost begging, I felt as if I was suffocating, as if he had the power to take out my soul with one hand, I wasn’t able to move, I felt as if I’ll break m
Andy's POV: “you had to bring this up? Didn’t you?” Wendy said standing as well, she seemed a bit annoyed, “I’m sorry, you had to witness this…” she started saying but I stood as well, “earlier you said I’m one of the family, I ‘am” I said she smiled, even though there was a shade of sadness in her eyes.“let me help you with the dishes” I said standing, she nodded, “thanks” she said holding the dishes, I walked by her. I never knew that Harris had these kind of arguments with his father, however, he didn’t have to be so rude, it’s still he’s father.Wendy and I headed to the kitchen, while Hector left the table right after Harris left. “I thought we could have a peaceful dinner, as a family, I guess I was wrong” Wendy sighed, I remained silent, I have no idea of what to say at moments like this.“Harris and Hector they’re not so close, I guess it’s because Hector was so busy, that he didn’t have time to build a strong relationship with Harris. I had hoped that someday their relation
Andy’s POV: “that’s all what happened, I don’t know why you refuse to believe me Tress!!” I said standing from my chair, it’s been two days since I came back from Italy. Tress refuse to believe that there’s no development in my relationship with Harris. Wendy calls me now and then, she asked for my number right after our goodbye. However Harris who I’m worry about, he’s been so calm since we came back from Italy, he’s not giving orders, and even at work, he doesn’t speak till it’s necessary. “you’re doing it again Andy…you’re not even listening to me, are you sure everything’s okay?” Tress said seemed worried, I rolled my eyes, “Tress, I’m totally fine” I said. The doorbell rang, I opened to see a familiar face, I know this guy, he’s Harris’s driver. I frowned, what is he doing here? “morning…” I said, “morning, Mr. Ford sent me to take you wherever you want to go, I believe it’s about the wedding preparation” he said, I frowned. “excuse me, but he didn’t…excuse me for a second” I
Andy’s POV:“you don’t seem that busy” Harris said holding my shoulders with both hands, tightening his grip. “don’t you ever…” he started threatening but let go of me when he saw Tress out of the restaurant, “hey…you must be Harris!!” she said heading towards where we were standing.Harris looked at her then turn to look back at me, “hey, do I know you?” he said seemed curious, “of course I do!! You’re my best friend future husband, I’m Tress, Andy’s best friend and roommate” she said winking me, it didn’t take long for Harris to figure out something, he’s not stupid.“nice too meet you, Tress” he said still looking at me, “I’ll be in the car” Tress said excusing herself, “she knows? What part of ‘no one should know’ didn’t you get?” he said his eyes flaming with anger. “she lives with me, I didn’t tell her, she’s not stupid. She figured it all out by herself” I said he looked away from me, shaking his head.“besides your friend David knows as well!” I said, guessing he had told him,
Andy’s POV: “oh my god!!” Tress exclaimed snatching the note from my hand, I stood there silently, frozen by surprise. What is he trying to do? Does he know about my feelings? If not, What could explain this sudden change of attitude? “oh, maybe he realized how much he hurt you, I mean, he was so cruel. Or maybe…” Tress started, but I walked past her, feeling confused, I can never put high expectations. Any girl that had watched ‘he’s just not that into you’ movie, would get me. I held my phone, I was about to dial his number. However when I was about to, he called me. I gulped, what am I supposed to do? I threw my phone nervously, I panicked glaring at my phone. I decided I should pick up, but not now, I’ll count to five. “oh, you better pick up!!” Tress said, I shot her one of my deadly glares, she rolled her eyes walking outside my room, closing the door behind her. I sighed, it’s just awkward to talk to him after our little argument. I took a deep breath, I picked up. “yes?” I
