Chapter: 09

"You will have to get married to him" With every word that she spoke, her words rang into my head. I blinked, staring at Audrey in disbelief.

She shifted her gaze away from me, sitting comfortably on the chair. My voice slowly found it way back to me.

"What do you mean?" I asked, but it was more of a statement than a question.

Me and the Billionaire, marriage?, be it contract or whatever, it was fucking impossible.

"I mean exactly what I said" I hear her voice again and it actually felt like it wasn't the same Audrey I know that was talking to me. My eyes glued to her.

"You can't be serious, you can't...

"Don't you see the opportunity in all this" She cut me off. Her legs standing up, she moved towards me, before taking my hand. I pushed her away, moving back.

How on fucking earth could I be so foolish to have shared this with her. I look back and see her moving close to me.

"Don't you dare take a step forward" I replied coldly and she stopped halfway, but still her lips parted.

"You love your mother, do you?" She asked me the same fucking question that wretch Camille asked me, before sending me to Xavier and ruining my already messed up shitty life.

"What..." I tried to speak, but she cut me off.

"I would have...WE would have take care of both your unborn child and mother together, but you know he can do it better, he has the money"

She said and the next thing I know, she was gone, leaving me alone to battle with my already fed up self.

Fucking money, fucking Billionaire!, I yelled.

"If you have any common sense, you'll sign the contract so the child won't be term illegitimate"..

The word ringing back on my head, I place my hand on my stomach.

....

I boarded the cab straight to the skyscraper made of glass, I was smart enough to remember the same company I was taken too, by the Billionaire's mother.

The same "STEEL'S" written in front, I feel something in my heart sinking, but still my legs kept moving, before stopping on it own in front of his office.

My legs wanting to refuse to step it, it wanted to run far away from this hell again. I ignored my inner self, swallowing hard, before pushing the door open.

My wandering eyes staring inside, I see a woman sitting on the chair, her dress..seductive and slut like, I feel disgusted, but at the same time, I could see the billionaire didn't really care much about her.

Xavier's light eyes looking to the side, it meets mine and we froze, before he broke the contact.

"You can leave now" He instructed the blonde hair woman and I watch her stand up.

Getting up from the chair, she catwalk, making sure she shook her butt all the way to the door before stopping next to me. She turned her face to the side and our eyes met, I pressed my lips together.

Blonde hair, blue eyes, she looked just like Camille and that fact made my blood boil. I feel like pushing and stabbing her countless of times.

Who the fuck does she thinks she is, my mind yelled out, but I remained calm, squeezing the end of my dress.

My eyes looking back at her, a little fake smile escape her lips, before she finally left at last. I rolled my eyes.

The door shutting behind my back, I take a step forward to him and our eyes meets again.

"Why did you send her away, I thought you were clearly busy" Something inside me boiled as I said those words out.

"Is this what you are interested in?" He arched his eyebrow, before getting up from his chair. He was right, I wasn't here for chitchat, but for business.

Standing up from his chair, he rested his back on his table, folding his arms together. My eyes quickly glanced at his business like suit, before looking back at him.

"I accept" I said, letting out a deep breath. He chuckled!, and my eyes shooted up, he just made me feel foolish.

"I believe nothing is funny Mr. Xavier" I asked sharply, but he ignored my speech tone. His eyes wandered around my face, before pausing on my green eyes.

"You need to understand Miss Iris, that this is not some kind of proposal" He paused, making sure my eyes was locked with his.

"This is a contract marriage, not and never for love"....

"I am doing this cause of my mother constant bleeding on my ears....

"And I am doing this for my unborn child" I cut him off, his eyebrows lifted up.

"I thought you said you were capable of taking care of your child on your own" He mocked me scoffing, before getting up from his table.

One step, he comes close to me, but I don't back away.

"I thought you don't want this marriage" His eyes pierced into mine, trying to read my soul.

"What made you change your mind" I hear his voice again...

"Do you like to play with fire, hmmm?" He asked coming a lot closer to me, yet my dumb legs glued rooted to the cold floor.

"Do you like when I touch you like this" He puts his hand on my cheek, stroking it back and forth. My eyes looks deeper into his.

"Do you get excited?" His voice becomes whispers..

"Do you feel aroused?" The words leaving his lips, I feel shivers running down my spine, he was extremely close with me, but still I manage to keep the eye lock.

"Why do you feel like breaking the contract rules already, how would I trust you" I manage to speak, a grin slowly creeped up on his lips.

"Do you think I like you Miss Iris" He ignored my question and says his....

"Do you think if you marry me your life would be filled with roses" Even though he was inches away from me, he kept on speaking.

If I take a step forward, I would bridge the darn gap and our lips would touch, but instead I take a step away from him.

You want to marry me, you don't like me, you hate me...What games are you playing with me Mr. billionaire. My mind yelled out, as I looked deep into his blue eyes, but I don't say it out loud, instead I cleared my throat.

"Like I said earlier, I am doing this only for my unborn child wellbeing" I said and watch his lips curve into a wider smile.

"Good!" He whispered, going back to his chair, sitting down.

"It's glad we both understand each other" His eyes back at me, his grin slowly faded away and his face becomes serious.

"Have a sit" He said again without taking his eyes off me and I reluctantly did so.

Just like a client and a boss, I thought.

He brings the contract out from a couple of other files before giving it to me, as well as a pen.

I glanced at him one last time, before signing it. Immediately am done, I hear his voice again.

"To had more clarity to this issue, I will say it one last time".

"This is a contract marriage and you are my wife for a year. Once the child is born we would split" He paused for a second before continuing...

Three simple rules you must follow, don't think of ever breaking them. He glanced at me, making sure I was paying attention...

Rule 1: No physical contact, no kissing, sex, Nothing!, don't even dare ever come close to me.

Rule 2: Don't you ever invade my space, don't dare ask me what I do, what I eat or where am off to, don't act like you care, cause I don't need it.

His voice sounded harsh and he talked to me as if was a dog.

Rule 2: if you step out of the mansion, the contract is officially over and you would have to come up with a way to cather of both you and your unborn child throughout this nine months on your own, through your blood and sweat!

Everyday if you comply with the rules, It would be better for us and we'll be living our separate life under one roof for a year, without ever getting on each other nerves.

Obey me and my rules. I heard his voice again, but this time louder...commanding, dominating!.

"Understood?" He asked me, my eyes meets his in an eye lock. I nodded, before parting my lips...

"Yes..." My eyes still glued to his, I watch his lips pressed together, frowning.

"You will respect me too, cause am both older than you in age and in matters of wealth" He said, and I squeezed my lips getting pissed off.

"Matters of wealth"... It's only money all day long for arrogant billionaire's like him, I scoffed.

My eyes going back to him, his gaze becomes intense and I felt like I said my thoughts out loud

"Understood?" He repeated again and I found my lips speaking on it own.

"Yes...Sir!"

"Good!" The words escaping his lips, he grinned.
