THE MARRIAGE DEAL CHAPTER EIGHT: DON'T THANK ME YET
Flashback 6 months ago…Augustus sat in his study, reviewing some documents behind his massive oak desk. He was used to the familiar smell of his books as this was his natural habitat, but his heart had been racing uncontrollably and as he reached for his pen, he felt dizzy. His chest tightened painfully, and before he could grasp the edge of the desk for support, everything went black.The sound of a crashing papers and a loud thud sent the housekeeper running into the room. Her heart jumped when she saw her boss, Augustus lifeless on the floor.“Sir! Sir!” she screamed, her voice shaking as she dropped the cleaning supplies and rushed to his side. She fumbled for his phone and dialed the first number she could find.His longtime personal adviser, Jonathan rushed in within minutes. He maintained a calm demeanour though his face showed concern.

Faye’s POVI inhaled deeply, staring at my reflection in the mirror. The soft evening light filtered through the curtains, casting a warm glow across my face. My heart raced as the reality of meeting Sterling again settled in. It felt like stepping into a battlefield, except this time, I wasn’t shielded by lies or excuses—I had to be upfront about the date and the chaos that followed.I grabbed my purse and slipped quietly out of the house, hoping Evie’s plan would buy us time. We needed to delay the gathering, and I had to convince Sterling to call it off.Twenty minutes later…. I arrived at the cafe Sterling texted me about. The restaurant was quieter than I expected. I scanned the room with my eyes as I walked in until my eyes landed on him. I spotted Sterling by the window, his silhouette sharp against the dim light. He was staring out the window, and just for a moment, I thought about walking away.“Evie,” he greeted me with a nod, standing up politely when I reached the table.

Evie's POV"Evie, are you okay?" my mum asked. "You seemed a bit distracted."Whew, that was a close one. I forced a smile. "I'm fine, Mom. Just a little tired, that's all.""Well, make sure you get some rest. You have a big day tomorrow."When she had left the room, I grabbed my bag and sneaked out.******************************Faye’s POVBreathe, breathe, Faye. Everything's gonna be just fine. I tried to assure myself, but who the hell was I kidding? Everything was going out of control.First, the loan with the shark, then the date where I pretended to be someone else, and now I find out that I'm pregnant?! PREGNANT?! To make things worse, the father is my boss! My life could not get any messier.What should I do? How do I explain this to my parents without them feeling disappointed?

Sterling's POV “Are you sure you really want to do this?” Curtis calmly asked me but I knew that he already knew the answer to his question. He has been my PA for a few years now and he knew that I had no interest whatsoever in love and relationships not to talk of getting married. Throughout his time as my PA, this has been his hardest job yet.I sighed. “Its not like I have any other choice and you said this was grandfathers decision right?”“Well, yes.” He wanted to continue but I stopped him. “Its already done. Ive already informed Mr Sawyer that I'll be getting married to his daughter.”“I'm only concerned about you. You looked very upset when you left the restaurant,” he pointed out.“Hmph, she was an odd one.” I started, “and you say she’s from a wealthy family no?” I asked a somewhat confused Curtis.“She is the daughter of Mr Sawyer, a wealthy business man. And from the information I gathered she was well brought up and attended the most prestigious schools.” he answered me.

Faye’s POV I took a deep breath as I exited the restroom, trying to compose myself as I made my way back to the table, while putting on a fake confident smile. Sterling looked up at me, his eyes narrowing slightly as he took in my appearance. I could tell he was trying to place me, but I was determined to keep my cool.“Hey,” I said, trying to sound casual. “Sorry about that, I just needed to powder my nose,”Sterling raised an eyebrow. “You look a little pale,” he said, his voice laced with concern.I waved it off, trying to laugh. “Just a little nervous, I guess,” I said, taking a seat across from him.“Of course, it’s expected. I doubt you’ve ever met a pretty, rich man like me,” he maintained, making me scoff. He wasn’t just dumb, he was arrogant as well.I gave a weak smile, waving my hand to grab the waiter’s attention so I could place an order. I wasn’t about to leave the most expensive restaurant I had just been to for the first time of my life, empty stomached.I quickly pic

Faye’s POV Evie’s phone rang for the millionth time but she turned deaf ears to it. Who could that be? Alex, her ex-boyfriend? No, he wouldn’t dare to call her after everything he did to her.Evie used to be in a relationship with Alex, one of our college mates. She wholeheartedly loved him but it turned out to be the opposite for Alex. He ripped her and literally fed off her throughout their relationship. And ultimately, he almost caused her father to disown her following the fact that he never approved of their relationship due to his background.He mostly called once in a while anytime he felt he needed money. Somehow, he still had the tendency to have Evie swayed.I squinted my eyes, struggling to figure out whose call it was. “Harrison Sawyer?” I asked, my brows furrowed. “Did y’all have a fight again?”Evie exhaled heavily, folding her legs so she could sit properly on the bed. “He is at it again,” she answered wearily“No wonder you re-saved his contact with his government nam

Faye’s POV I woke up to find myself barely clothed with a stranger in the same bed with me. I gasped immediately I realized my state at that moment. Could I have slept with this stranger? Why can’t I recall the previous night’s event? I gazed at him, he was fast asleep and could barely notice my movements in the room.My phone chimed, almost awakening the young man who was seen turning over to the other side of the bed. I quickly had my clothes put on, ignoring the phone till I was able to sneak out of there. “Whatever it is, can wait,” I murmured“Greenwood Estate,” I said, flagging down the taxi. The driver was kind enough to give me a lift with my incomplete fare of twenty dollars. I pulled my phone from my pocket, finally having the chance to look at it. It was a text from Evie, my best friend. She sounded like she was in a panic and needed an urgent help. What do I do? I needed to be at my parent’s restaurant and at the same time, I should be running over to my best friend’s hou

Faye’s POV I was shocked, my cup of drink stuck in my mouth as my gaze followed the angry man who was seen approaching me. How did he find me? I plunged the glass cup tight into my mouth, attempting to cover my face with it while I tried to leave the bar quietly.“Hey! Don’t try to move!” He yelled, shooting daggers at me.I fidgeted but slowly loosened up. He had seen me already and trying to act smart would definitely do me no good.“Good evening, Mr. Sam,” I said, trying to act as much neutral as I could. “What brings you here?”“Don’t try to pretend, Faye,” he said angrily. “Where’s my money?!”“I… umm…” I stuttered, trying to find the right words to say to him. I had exhausted every lie and excuse I could use and honestly, even if I could quickly think of something, he wouldn’t still believe me.Mr. Sam was a loan shark whom my father had run to when I was on the verge of dropping out of college. He had agreed to lend us some money if only we agreed to pay over three hundred per
