Chapter Six

Upon hearing that she was still willing to go ahead and become his contracted wife Alex couldn't help but be shocked by her courage. 

"Fine, but do not say I did not warn you about what you are getting yourself into," Alex said as he gave Alyssa his business card. 

Alyssa collected the card from him as she tried looking him in the eyes so he wouldn't sense the fear that was creepy through her. 

"I will let you think about these decisions you want to make,  so yeah once you are done think about it and you are ready to continue with it you can just place a call to me," Mr. Alex said to Alyssa before he took his leave not wanting her to say anything. 

Immediately Alyssa got home she dropped her handbag on the bed and immediately went to the bathroom. 

She wanted to cool her head, after that conversation she had with Alex she had been feeling a headache. "I might have gone overboard," Alyssa said to herself as she turned on the shower. 

After a lot of thinking she finally came to a conclusion knowing fully well that she had gone through worsen pain in her life "So what sort of pain does Mister Mafia want to show to me that I have not experienced?" she asked herself as she got out of the bathroom. 

She quickly put on her nightwear as she lay on her bed, she brought out her phone from her bag and checked the time. It was already late, she didn't know if she should still place a call to Mr mafia or if she should just wait till it was morning. 

She fell asleep thinking and thinking if she should call him or not. 

*****

Alex got home feeling tired and drained after the conversation he had with Alysee. 

"Hmmm, I wonder if she is still going to call after what I said to her," Alex said to himself as he undressed. 

Alex sat down on the couch in his room as he sipped his wine, his phone was in his right hand while he used the other hand to hold his wine. 

He was expecting Alyssa to call but at the same time wasn't expecting it, he felt that she was going to call and at the same time he still didn't think she was because he had made her understand that he wasn't a nice person. 

Alex then dropped his phone on his center table as he took the last sip of his wine, he went ahead and took a long shower as usual before heading out of the bathroom. 

As he got out of the bathroom feeling tired already all he wanted to do was sleep but as he claimed his bed to sleep his phone rang to make Alex call out to the person who was calling him at that moment. 

Alex picked up his phone that was ringing from the table and as he checked the caller's ID he discovered that it was an unknown number. 

At first, Alex thought his brother had tried to call him with an unknown number even after he told him not to try to reach him ever again so he wanted to just leave the caller hanging not until he thought of Alyssa and remembered he gave her his business card to contact him if she was still interested in the contract. 

He finally picked up the call,  "Hello" The person at the other end of the call said it was a female voice so obviously it was Alyssa. 

"Hello" Alex replied in anticipation to hear what she had to say but before she could utter another word he got the call disconnected. 

'`what just happened? " Let out in disbelief,  "does she think I'm a joke? Why would she call and just hang up on me without saying a word," Alex said to himself. 

Alex angrily dropped his phone and went to bed. 

***

Alyssa woke up feeling better than last night due to the vodka she took yesterday she was so out of it. 

Her head was spinning a bit but she was still not sure of what had happened last night. 

She tried recalling what had happened but the only thing she could remember was asking to be Mr mafia's contracted wife and collect his business card. 

She quickly checked her bag to be sure if the card was there but it wasn't. 

Alyssa was surprised because she knew if he had given her the card last night then it should be in her bag.  But as she tried to get up from the bed she saw a card beside her phone, she checked it and saw that it was Mr mafia's business card. 

"How did it get there?" Alyssa asked herself, wondering if she had called him last night or not. "no I did not call him" she said as she picked up her phone to call him. 

Alyssa had thought her response concerning the contract over and over and she finally decided to take the contract since she was not looking for love and all she needed was to have someone like that Man in her life now that she was about to die. 

She finally called him and the call went through but it rang for a while before picked up. 

"Hello, Good morning," Alyssa said immediately Alex picked up his phone. 

"go, straight to the point I don't have time for any nonsense like that you did yesterday night over the phone," Alex said, sounding harsh. 

Immediately Alex made that statement Alyssa began to wonder what exactly had happened that made him say so, but she didn't want to waste any of his time again so she just went straight to the point. 

"Where should we meet to sign the document?" Alyssa said, and there was a minute of silence between them before Alyssa spoke again. 

"I have thought about the contract and have come to a conclusion that am ready to proceed with it and also am ready to accept all your terms and conditions," Alyssa said making Alex scoff he said "ok, I will text you the address of the place we would be meeting to sign the contract" before he hanged up. 

Alyssa breathed a sigh of relief after dropping the call knowing fully well that she just signed to an early death grave.
