Chapter 1: THE CONTRACT
...
"Amelia, my daughter,am sorry. I didn't mean to do this but it's for the best. I have to sell you off to get rid of my debt and that was the best offer ever. I'll always thank God for letting me have you as my daughter. Take care."
-Your father,
Johnson Grey
Amelia Johnson is 23 years old. A stately, dignified, and attractive pretty young lady, Who made the Keith, CEO of Fountains Company, an undefeatable, yet a human whose mistakes are merely infallible, falls for her at first glance. Not because she was beautiful or because he loves her(practically the way he thinks), but because she would make a perfect match to be his fake wife and his tastes won't be average in his people's eyes.
Author's POV:
*****At Keith's office*****
Amelia doesn't want to believe what she just read. Despite everything her father did to her she still loved him because he was the only one left for her. Her mom ran away and left her with her abusive father.
"Wwwhat do you want from me mister?"
Amelia struggled to utter those words from her lips. Her eyes burning with rage, fear and anger at the same time but she's hopeless. What can she do? Nothing.
Keith looking at her seductively but amelia, with the condition she is in, what he was doing was cringe to her.
He aggressively scoured for the papers he needed her to read, forcefully hurling them at Amelia, demanding she retrieve and read them.
"Read it amelia".
Silently, she gathered the papers detailing arguments, tears, and the written emotions within.
Amidst tears, she uttered, "okay".
.......
"Your father traded you to me to settle his debt. I agreed to it out of necessity. ".
"I need you Amelia"
......"why d-"
Amelia attempted to speak, but he silenced her, sternly saying, "Read and sign the contract, we're getting married tomorrow".
"NO I DON'T WANT TO MARRY YOU MISTER"
Amelia, tears streaming down her face, tried to speak through her sobs,
"please mister, please".
....
"I don't even know you, I know nothing about who you are. Please I'll work to pay off my father's debt instead. let's do-"
"No".
He cut her off, demanding
"Sign the contract"
.....
"you do what I say amelia".
"i am your only hope."
Amelia sobbing
"I've seen other girls a lot of times amelia, but only you can save me"
"why me?" Amelia said strongly not believing what was happening.
"Sign the contract" Keith said angrily, which made amelia realize it's best to be quiet because obviously, he wasn't joking.
"Okay".
"George get the car ready"
Abruptly, he shattered the silence and uttered,
"I need you to know that I am all you've got now and if you try to do anything stupid, you'll have to gladly accept the consequences love."
Exiting the office, George remarked, "She really is a beautiful girl I admit. Just wow"
"Keith, why are you reluctant to admit you have feelings for her? It's painfully obvious".
Keith, turning to George with frustration, retorted, "I've told you, I'm not. Mind your own business".
George smiled as he said, "You're quite cold, you know".
Keith responded, "Yes, I am, and I'm well aware of it". throwing a wink at George.
AMelia was in the room she was given to stay before the wedding, flopping on the bed moving around with her legs as she thought of everything that happened in her life from her birth to this day. When she was 13, her mom ran and left her alone with her alcoholic father. Knowing she had nothing left just her father, she has to live with him besides she was too young to live on her own. There was no day she lived peacefully without getting a beating from her father.
"Life is so not fair" she thought to herself tears streaming down on her face.
All her life, she never had a boyfriend or even thought of having one, never loved a man, and now she was just going to love a man or have a crush on him, SHE IS TO MARRY A MAN.
Finally she managed to get up and went to the bathroom for a nice shower assuring herself everything will be fine.
"Haa" she sighed finally relaxed after a soothing bath.
"Tomorrow is my wedding," she mumbled as she drifted off to sleep.
