CHAPTER FOUR

FELIX POV

"What do you mean I have to get married? That's preposterous"

"It is, but that's a criterion your father has always wanted for anyone that would take after him."

"That dumbfuck! Felix said angrily

"So if I don't get married what happens?"

"I think you and I both know what will happen."

"Shit" Felix said .

"Shit. If I don't get married, it will go to Beverly", Felix added.

"Yes. Beverly, your step sister will take over from your father"

"That's not going to happen" Felix said assuringly.

"What are you going to do for it not to happen" the lawyer asked Felix, looking at him. Beverly had always been in competition with him. He was the first heir of his father, but Beverly was always one step ahead of him. This time he had to be two steps ahead of her.

*************************

Felix Banks and his friend, Timothy, are having a drink together at a mini bar. Felix tells his best friend, Timothy, about his encounter with his father's lawyer at the hospital.

"That's ridiculous!" Timothy shrieked.

"The same thing I said. I don't even know what to do", Felix said.

"Well, that's insensitive, but you have to do something before Beverly knows about this."

I know Beverly is a witch"

"You have to get a contract wife" Timothy suggested snappily, clicking his fingers.

"What the hell is a contract wife?"

"Exactly what the word contract mean"

"How do I do that?

"I don't know Felix. There are many women to do that for you"

Tsk, that's a ridiculous idea, Tim

"How else are you going to do this? You hate commitment and everything about love and marriage. Tell me how you want to pull through this?" Timothy asked.

"I need to clear my head. I'm so confused with all of this right now", Felix said.

"Alright. There's a club in town and I must say they got the best booty", Timothy said naughtily.

"A strip club? He asked him

"Not just any strip club, the best bootie bitches around there give the best lap dance, and you even get to touch them privately."

"So how did you discover this so-called exquisite strip club?"

"That's a story for another day. Come on, let's go see some booties", Timothy said.

**********************************

CLUB DORIDEGO

There were strippers dancing both clad and unclad, there were different men in the VVIP section of the club, Felix and Timothy were taken by the ladies in the club.

"I must say you really have got a taste, Tim", Felix said to Timothy.

"I know man, I got a taste" Timothy replied, looking at the strippers dancing.

"You really need to see the main strippers. They call them the classical ladies"

"Indeed" he said as he picked up a drink from a waiter passing.

"Give it up for the classical ladies!" a voice said, hailing, as there was a round of applause, the stage got lightened as the music changed into a little mid-song. A group of ladies emerged on the stage as they began dancing. Felix is taken aback when he notices a beautiful, slim, tall girl dancing seductively with the pole. It seems she notices him too. She walks towards him, dancing around the pole near him. He is captivated and intrigued by her appearance and beauty. As she moves back to her other dancers, Timothy moved closed to Felix.

"She's beautiful, isn't she?" Timothy

"Yes, she's beautiful. I will make her my wife" he said. Timothy burst out his drink.

"What the hell?"

"You told me I needed a contract wife"

"Yes, definitely not a stripper".

"You see, my dear friend, this stripper will play the role so well for me", Felix said.

"How! You want to make a stripper your wife?

"There are so many women out there, you can get any woman to do this for you, definitely not a stripper."

"I can get any woman to do this, but you see this stripper, if offered enough money, will play the role effectively. Using another woman only gives them a chance to be part of my family and I don't want such to happen. I need something temporary, not permanent."

"This is a bad idea, Felix. You can't introduce a stripper to your family"

"There's nothing a touch of change can't do"

"Felix, believe me, this is a bad idea."

"I know but believe me when I say this is the right way", Felix said as he continued looking at the beautiful dancing stripper as she used the pole to outshow her body and beauty.

"How do I book a private section?" Felix asked Timothy.

"This is out of control. Felix, you can't do this!"

"I can, and I will, you suggested this to me in the first place."

"I did. I didn't say you should with a stripper."

"How do I book a section? Felix asked, Timothy was hesitant for a minute.

 "Don't get me angry Timothy"

**********************

Felix was led into a private VVIP room. As he got into the room, the beautiful stripper was already waiting for him. Felix pours himself a wine as he watches how she shows her skills with her pole.

"I want you to marry me" he said boldly to her as she stopped, turned to look at him like he was drunk or high on drugs.

"Yes. Marry me. I will pay you twenty grand, half of it while you sign the marriage contract, you will get the other half when you are done, when I say so", Felix said to her.

"Are you high on drugs?" She asked him, withdrawing from him.

"I'm not interested" she said.

"Why won't you be interested? Whores get excited when they hear a huge amount of money"

The look on her face expressed hate and disgust for him.

"I'm not a whore"

"Oh please, spare me the talk. I need you to be interested, I want you to be my wife"

"You must be seriously out of your damn mind."

"I wish I was, but I'm not. I want you to marry me."

"For fuck sake, I don't know you from Adams."

"I just met you too. You are nothing but a stripper."

"Fuck you!" She said.

A security bouncer must have heard them. He walked into the room looking at them both.

"Is everything okay, Khloe" the security asked.

"Yes I'm fine" she replied as the bouncer left.

"Hmmm, so your name is Khloe. So Khloe. Do we have a deal? Felix asked

"Hell no!" She said as she walked out of the place angry.

"Damn bitch" he said.
