THE MARRIAGE CONTRACT Chapter Eleven
Ema immediately turned around and grabbed Lila's arm.What was she doing going to the Boss' office dressed like that?"What?" Lila asked, curious as to why he'd hold her back that way."What are you wearing?" Ema asked as his brain couldn't figure an explanation for Lila's sudden behavior."I'm wearing..." Lila paused and looked down at herself. "I don't understand." She said cluelessly."Are you going to the Boss'office wearing that?" He asked and she gave a little sigh before giving a shrug."I need money for my mother's surgery Ema, I have to make him fall so hard for me so he'd give me the money before it's too late and to achieve that, i have to look my best always." Lila explained as though none of it was wrong."Is this your best? You're downgrading yourself." Ema said as he put his hand to his forehead."I dont understand. How am I degrading myself, this is just to..." Lila was saying but he interrupted her by holding her hands."You don't need to dress way too exposed just t

“She’s gone” the word keeps on ringing in her head as she moves her feet heavily to meet her already lifeless mom, her heart felt so heavy, and she wanted to cry so badly but tears were denying her, She couldn’t bring herself to cry until she sees her mom.Until she confirms with her eyes that she’s gone. The voices of the nurse and doctor calling echoed somewhere in her brain, but she wasn’t stopping, she keeps on moving her legs until she stands in front of the door.She moved her hand to open the door, but her hands were shaking, she wanted to be in denial so badly, she wanted to open the door and see her mom sitting down and welcoming her in with her smile and her faint voice calling her name. She finally hands the zeal to open the door, and she opens the door ajar rushing inside the room, she looks at her mom covered up with a white bedsheet, opens the bedsheet up, and she saw her sleeping beautifully and never waking up again. It felt as if something struck her heart the momen

What’s taking you so long? I thought you wanted to grab lunch” Victor asked and Ema squeezed his eyes tightly, he looks at Lila and the thought of leaving her and answering his boss's call was displeasing to him. “I’m sorry sir, I can’t come to the office right now.

She stood up and went straight to the kitchen, although, it was still early, but she was going to give her an early morning food.She got to the kitchen and thought of what she could prepare to touch Nana’s heart and to also show how much she appreciated the comfort she gave her yesterday.

Even if my mom didn't live to do her surgery, at least, she left without medical debts." Lila said, avoiding eye contact with Victor.She noticed he wasn't saying an

The doctor's new decision. Lila slumped on the couch where she had been sitting for the past one hour as her eyes found her mother's figure again. This couch had been her bed for almost 64 hours and even though it wasn't the most comfortable thing in the world, she had grown fond of it. Besides it allowed her sleep so close to her mum and made her available in case something came up. It had been a rough 64 hours for them both, Lila acknowledged as she fluffed the pillow the nurse had given her. A very rough one that could have gone terribly if the results of her mother's diagnosis had been different. The diagnosis wasn't favourable still, she reminded herself as she rested her head on the pillow. No, the doctor had said in very simple words that there was nothing he could do for them because Ellen's case was beyond their control. India. The doctor had mentioned that there lied the solution to their problems. Ellen would have to go to India if she wanted treatment for her illness.

"Marriage? Six months? What are you talking about Mr Fabian?"The lawyer, Mr Fabian scratched his head and looked at his client's grandson. "I'm sorry Mr Williams but Nana clearly stated it here. You can only access your trust fund when you're married and the marriage must be at least 6 months old."Victor Williams gaped and closed his eyes. 'Nana, why did you do this?' "Well I didn't know about this."Mr Fabian gave him a wan smile. "Well it's all here. There's really nothing I can do sir. I'm sorry." "What if I'm engaged, can I access it then?" Why was Nana doing this to him? She knew better than anyone that he didn't believe in love and he never wanted to get married. She was aware of how horrible his parent's marriage had been. What was the need to put this kind of stipulation in place? Why was she trying to force him to settle down at all cost?He didn't have good examples while growing up so what was he supposed to do when he eventually got married? Beat his wife and leave her

Victor Williams walked into the office aware of how quiet everywhere was. He wasn't a monster, at least he didn't think he was but they all treated him as such. He wasn't bothered though, he reminded himself, he was all for it if it'd get the job done. He texted Ema to meet him in his office as he walked past the reception. His office was on the fifth floor which meant he had to use the elevator even though sometimes he opted for the stairs. Elevators weren't his cup of tea and after all the bad news he had heard about it, he didn't want to get trapped in it ever. He was claustrophobic and he couldn't stand it if the elevator were to stop working while he was stuck inside. With that final thought, he took the elevator all the way to his floor. "Victor, welcome." Victor looked up and smiled at his assistant. He knew he stressed Emmanuel a lot but he had never complained. Victor knew how competent he was. "Mr Anderson." Emmanuel was reading out his schedule as he'd usually do bu

Lila was shocked at the car fast approaching her, at that moment her brain froze. The headlight shone on her widened eyes and suddenly the fast approaching car swerved from the right to the left, Lila breathes out, out of fright. Her hands were shaking, and her eyes stung with tears as she thought about how she could have died. “Lila!” she suddenly heard Emma’s voice and turned to look at him, bursting into tears, her body shakes fervently as she tries to comprehend what almost happened to her.“What is wrong with you? What are you doing, thinking about?” Ema shouted angrily at her, and she came out of her reverie state. Lila wipes away her tears angrily looking at Ema full of rage. “You don’t have to shout at me that way,” Lila said and Ema scoffed.“I will shout at you if it pleases me, what were you thinking about and the car almost hit you, imagine the driver didn’t know how to handle the wheels what could have happened?” Ema shouted. “Don’t scream at me, please, I just escaped

The next morning when Lila woke up, the outing was the first thing she thought of.She stood up and went to her bathroom and after some minutes, she came out with a towel wrapped around her as she used it to clean her hair.She sat in front of the mirror and combed her hair and applied some lotion on it.Then she went to her wardrobe."What do we wear?" She asked herself and picked out a light black dress. It was made out of a material that showed everything worn underneath although there were black bum shorts attached to it and the only thing people would see were her beautiful legs.It was the perfect outfit for the beach. The breeze would blow it perfectly and it wasn't as exposing as the clothes girls loved to wear on the beach.After dressing up, she went out of her room and down the stairs and as she got nearer to the kitchen, she could perceive the heavenly aroma of something delicious cooking.She made her way to the kitchen and met Victor there cooking.He had a few food box
THE MARRIAGE CONTRACT Chapter Eight
Chapter 8Victor was still stunned at the way she dressed and how she walked like a model into his house. He had a large sitting room and then he asked her to have her seat."I must commend, you have a nice home." Lila said, amazed at how massive and beautiful it was."Thank you. I see you really brought your manners along with you." Victor smiled, rubbing his chin with his index finger.Lila rolled her eyes and scoffed at his reply. He was rude and she didn't really like it."So, I prepared the marriage contract. You know, we won't want anyone to know about this, including my lawyer, and that's part of the conditions you have to accept." He explained, with his legs crossed."I see. Alright, can I have it now? Let's get this done." She said, twitching her lips.Victor handed the contract over to her and then gave her a pen to sign it. She went over it and was fine with the terms. She didn't have any choice, even if she was not fine with the terms because she had to save her mother. An

She opened the message.“Meeting with our lawyer by weekend. Don't dress like a parent.Your fiancé.”Don't dress like a parent? Seriously? Lila snorted loudly and made to toss the phone right into her bag but Ema was already reaching for it."Who was that?" He asked."No one important." Lila answered.She knew it was a lie, literally. Victor was going to be an important person in her life soon."You look like you're bothered. Are you sure it's no one important. My hunch tells me-""I'll go to my mother's bedside. She is already awake." Now it was her own turn to feel awkward."Mother. I have been waiting for you to stir from your sleep. You sleep so much these days." Lila said softly to her mother who smiled weakly."Those sedatives knock me out everytime. I wonder how much longer I'll have to live on it. Is that Ema? Did you two quarrel?""Don't talk like that, mother. I'll be paying for your treatment before the month ends and we'll be flying you to India so you can get well again.
