DAMON

He entered the hall with a rock face. giving no damn about those hot glares on him. He spotted a particular table just in the middle of the room. Let's just get over this once and for all. He thought.

He got a little closer to the table before he recognized the girl sitting with Mr. Roberto, she was the lousy-thinking girl from earlier. He didn't need any more evidence to know that she was Mr. Roberto's, daughter. The girl he is getting married to.

This is not how things are supposed to work out but it turns out Denis doesn't want to get married at the moment because she was at her highest point of achievement. She claims to be busy with work and can't fly back to the country at least not yet.

So here he is, going to get married to a girl he doesn't know to please his mother and also prevent her from chasing him with blind dates and all those kinds of stuff.

As much as he wants to get married to Danis and claim her as his he also can't disappoint his mother. He can be cold and snobbish towards people around him but not his mother.

He only agrees to get married to Anthony's daughter because he doesn't want a girl who will clinch on him just like those classic women who don't miss the little opportunity they get to flirt with him. He wanted someone different, a simple girl with a simple life. Someone, he can easily divorce when his beloved appears.

He walked toward them nonchalantly. Their gaze locked for a moment, and he stared back at her as she continued to stare at him. it was as if she was just seeing him for the first time and that didn't seem well with him. He couldn't believe there was someone in the country who was ignorant of him.

Damon Willy is the world's most famous designer ever. He is known in the country for his good looks and cold attitude that most ladies consider sexy. And a hottie billionaire workaholic.

" Mr. Willy, I think you have already met my daughter?" he averted his gaze from her and Anthony smiled. Damon knew the kind of man Anthony was. He hoped he would stop his little fantasy because that was not it. There is no way he will fall in love with his daughter.

Marrying his daughter was a business agreement between both of them.

He needed a temporary wife while Anthony needed a good business deal to save his company from collapsing. So it was a win-win deal. Both men came to terms with each other's needs.

" This is my Princess, Skylar," he said but Damon wasn't in the mood for any of that. He wanted to get it done. He just wanted to marry her temporarily to satisfy his nagging mother who didn't seem to get the fact that he was not into any other woman." can we start the ceremony" he once again met her gaze, she looked confused and innocent, but her looks didn't matter to him. He held a hand out for her which she took after seconds of hesitation. She doesn't seem to stop surprising him, any woman would jump on him if this opportunity is given but this girl doesn't know how to value his presence. Anyway, he doesn't want her to value him because he isn't going to value her as his wife. Is about a matter of time, before Danis comes back and all this will be in the past.

He felt the warmth in his heart the minute her hand touched his. It felt good but he was too obsessed with Danis whom he was certain he loved very much to even realize the connection between him and the college girl, Skylar.

They walked through the crowd and halted on the stage where they would exchange their vows. That isn't necessarily for a marriage that won't last but then he needs to make his mother believe it. Though the gathering was simple one might think it's an engagement field.

He didn't want to overdo it because it was just a cover-up for Danis.

The priest strode in and everything began. He asks them the question that couples are normal to ask, that is marriage vows. She didn't know what to say nor how to feel so she just whispered unconsciously" I do " He just said a few words and concluded" I pronounce you husband and wife" Skylar was so hurt, that tears threatened to fall. So he brought her here just to snatch away her freedom. She stood frozen still holding hands with him." hello son, am very proud of you." Elizabeth Willy, Damon's mother said and placed a kiss on Skylar's cheek. She creased her cheek carefully with a cheerful smile.

" We are very sorry for the rough arrangement" She smiled again "And you, why didn't you tell me about your plans?" she pointed a finger at him "Just want to surprise you," he said not entirely a lie though. " I think there would be another wedding" she sounded happy.

Finally, her son has agreed to get married. Damon has been stubbornly rejecting all the women she had fixed him on a date with. But now he is finally getting over the chapter of singles.

" all the best," she said. Skylar was not in the real world.

Damon didn't look at her during the whole process. But one thing he didn't get was why she was all sad. A lot of girls will give everything to be in her place. He should be the one sad and not her. At least that is how he felt. He has never met someone who doesn't flirt around him before.

People were wishing them and others too were giving her frowns and piercing gazes. Skylar didn't part her lips till the silly night wedding was over.

******

He offered to send her home since she insisted on going back to her college apartment. Not because he wanted to but because his mother would nag him. It's good that he doesn't leave the mansion with her that way he and Skylar won't have to be around each other all the time.

The drive back was a quiet one. Skylar was one seat away from him." what is the address?" his voice was rough as if he didn't want to ask. She opened her mouth and said the address to him." have this, call me if you need more" he held a credit card for her. At least he has to support her since she is still a college student, he believes she will need it though. Besides she is his responsibility now that she is together with him though their union is not meant to last.

" you will need it" he urged her to take it, money is never a problem to him." I don't think It necessary" she logged out of the car when they got to her apartment building. " my driver will come and pick you up tomorrow, make sure to get ready by then" he ordered and the car took off.

" boss, I think madam is not happy," the driver said. Who said he cared about what she felt but somewhere within him, there was a soft spot for her.
