PIERCE'S POV
I can't believe that even as a fucking billionaire, I will get fucked over and over again by ladies just because of love and when you ask ladies what they want in a man, they go ahead to say they want a loving, caring, god-fearing man that will spoil them and a that crap. Here I am being faithful, supportive, caring, loving, capable and willing to spoil my woman but no matter what I do, they are never satisfied and it sucks... It's crazy how insatiable ladies are but I can't keep up and I am honestly tired, I am done trying to find some lame ass love. " Call me Mr solution." Stan said immediately he entered my office and I am just wondering what he is fucking up to this time. " Why would I want to do that or have you suddenly changed your name?" I asked curiously with a smirk on my face. " Well I earned the name because standing in front of you is a man with the solutions to all your current problems." He said cockily and it almost made me laugh although I am in no mood to laugh. " I highly doubt that but go ahead." I said as he sat down, it's highly impossible for him to have solutions to problems I am not even sure he is aware of. I know he is my best friend but that doesn't mean that he knows all my fucking problems. Although I am fucking curious to know what he has in mind because he seems very confident and I am beginning to think that he might have something up his damn sleeves. " Well my private investigator just gave me interesting news regarding Gary holdings." He said with a smirk " Well that's actually a good news if it will lead to me getting my money back, Gary Reed can not just swindle me of thirty million dollars and get away with it. I won't allow that, I want my money back and even more for trying to out smart me." I stated. " Well it's almost like he got away because he is dead, infact he does like six months ago but my private investigator just informed me a while ago that Gary Will everything to his only child. Kiana Reed, although she doesn't have access to his properties yet because the bastard did her dirty by including a marriage clause to the inheritance and right now, the PI found out that she's looking to hire someone for a marriage contract so that she can get her inheritance." He said proudly and he should be proud because that information will help but I still don't understand how this information is a solution to all my problems. " Okay I wasn't expecting to hear that Gary is dead and I am glad that all hope is not lost and I can still get my money back probably from Kiana but how is this a solution to all my problems?" I asked curiously because I am lost. " Look at the bigger picture pierce, I remember vividly that you swore off ladies after you caught Fiona in your bed with another man a few days ago. So Kiana needs a man to do a contract marriage with so that she can get her inheritance, why don't you be that man so that you can have access to her inheritance and get everything her father stole from you back and at the same time, you won't need to experience heartbreak anymore because she will be your wife and she will show up at all your events and she will be available for everything you need and the interesting part is that she can't even cheat because she's going to be bounded by contract that I will personally draft out myself." Stan explained with a mischievous smile and I see the point and advantage of his proposal but I am not exactly sure I want that. " It's already bad enough that I can't find a fucking loyal and faithful woman but do I really need to result to buying affection or loyalty with a fucking contract marriage, is it really that bad because I am lost." I said pointedly while staring at him with a frown. " Don't look at it like that man, just look at him like a mutually beneficial business proposal, you guys are both using each other, only that you have more to gain and in this deal, you won't be worried about her being unfaithful and anything like that because during the cause of the contract, she's compelled to be absolutely loyal and faithful to you." He assured and it's sounds cool but I don't really know. " Well it makes sense but I still need to think about it, I am a billionaire for God's sake and I can't afford to do anything that will bring shame and insult to my damn name." I said pointedly. " And that's exactly why you need this because the contract will keep her mouth shut and I am drafting the contract myself, so you should know I will make it very rigid for her. You can think about it but if you ask me, there is really no need for that because I already looked into everything and it will really benefit you, besides she's actively looking for someone and if you are down, we need to approach her before she makes a pick because she's really desperate." Stan explained and I think he is right, he is my best friend and barrister, so I know the marriage contract will definitely benefit me. " Alright fine, I am down but I hope she's beautiful because I need a beautiful woman but my side at all times even if it's not fucking real." I said with a wink which made him laugh and I couldn't help but join in on the laugh. " She's not just beautiful man, she's hot and sexy, infact she's an eye candy. The PI sent me this picture yesterday, what do you think?" Stan asked with a teasing smile as he brought out his phone and showed me her picture on his phone. Oh wow, she's not bad at all. Kiana is one smoky hot lady, I never imagined that Gary Reed can have a daughter this beautiful and hot, of course I am fucking down for the marriage contract if it means I will wake up to this every damn morning. " Oh yes, let's do this." I said just before I returned his phone. " Good but for now, I am famished. Let's go out and grab lunch then we will decide on how to go about it later." He said as he got up and I actually don't mind eating too, so I followed him out of my office.PIERCE'S POVStan drove us to a five star restaurant just around the corner, which didn't take long at all. As soon as we entered the restaurant, we got situated close to the window with a great view and a waiter attended to us immediately and it's very obvious that Stan is fucking hungry with the way he jumped right in and made his demands while I had to look through their menu before deciding." Please get me Buffalo chicken bowls with cauliflower garlic rice and a bottle of wine." Stan ordered immediately while I am still trying to make up my mind on what to have." I will like salty, sweet and spicy creamy coconut curry sauce with broiled salmon and a side of white rice." I finally placed my order." Okay sir, I will be right back." The waiter said just as he was about to leave.Just as he said, he returned within a few minutes with a bottle of wine and two glasses, he opened and served us before he left for the food I guess. It's actually a good bottle of wine, DeLuka... It's mus
KIANA'S POVIt's been over a week now that I met Pierce at the restaurant and I still can't believe that I allowed myself to be pushed into asking him to marry me but the surprising part is the fact that he actually agreed... Right from when he sent the bottle of wine to our table, Lucy started persuading me to ask him and even when he was talking to us at the table she still didn't stop till I took the bait.It's been three weeks since I received that letter that motivated me into trying again and I can't believe how much progress I have made since there and here I am preparing to go over to Pierce's office this afternoon to sign the contract papers... I am one step closer to laying my hands on my inheritance and I am so happy that I won't have to disappoint my dad even though he is not here." Wow girl, you look so beautiful in that dress." Lucy complimented immediately she entered the room while I checked myself out in the vanity and I agree with her because the dress compliments m
KIANA'S POVThe last six months has been nothing but hell and if I am being honest to myself, I am exhausted and frustrated to the core... It is already bad enough that I lost my dad about six months ago but somehow, he made my life worse even in death, I have always considered myself as daddy's girl which is why I'm beyond mad and hurt to realize that my dad doesn't love me, at least not in the way I thought.My dad's death and the reading of his Will, changed my life in many ways than I can even count. I never really had interest in having a boyfriend or even getting married anytime soon but my dad somehow found a way to impose his wish on me by including a marriage clause on his Will." You have to get up Kiana, you can't stay in bed all day. I know that you are tired and frustrated but unless you have made up your mind to forfeit the estate, company and fifty million dollars, you have to get your ass up at some point and let's keep searching for a life partner for you, else you wo
KIANA'S POVI am momentarily having a mixed feeling, I am ecstatic to read from my Dad once again even though he is not here but I am also blue to know that the woman I have always recognized as my mum is not my mum after all... It's even more sad for me to know that Bridget is not a good person, I always felt like something was weird with her but I thought it was just sily jealousy and irresponsibilities because she had a rich husband.But what saddens me the most is not knowing my real mum and my dad who can tell me more about her is not here anymore either which means I have lost the chance completely." Oh Kiana, I am so sorry about this." Lucy consoled after reading the letter i dropped while I continue crying." Thanks Lucy." I said in a teary voice but then I stopped crying when Lucy spoke again." There is something else in the envelope." Lucy said while handing me the brown envelope she picked from the floor." Oh my god, I am so happy to see this." I said excitedly after se
