Chapter 6 His 21 Days Bride

  • Arianna's Pov:
  • I was short of words as I stared at them confused.
  • The elderly lady supposingly Bryan's grandma pecked me in excitement.
  • I forced a smile as Bryan squeezed me into his arms more tightly.
  • "What are you guys talking...." I tried saying but he wouldn't let me talk.
  • "Give me a second grandma" He said as he dragged me by my arm outside the house.
  • "Let go of my arm!" I yelled at him as I snatched my hand from him.
  • With my hands in akimbo,,,,,, I stood in front of him giving him a questioning look.
  • "What was the meaning of that?" I asked puzzled.
  • He quickly brought out a napkin and mopped his face with it and smiling mischievously at me.
  • I eyed him still waiting for answers.
  • "I want you to be my BRIDE" He said as my jaw dropped.
  • "What???" I asked in shock as he smirked.
  • "For hire...." He added as I furrowed my eyebrows.
  • "What the hell are you up to anyways? I don't get it.... Why do you have to lie that am your bride to be?" I half yelled but he quickly shut me up with a kiss and I gasped as I pushed him away.
  • "This is only a contract OK? You will be bride for only 21 days and I will pay you handsomely" He said as I gulped hard.
  • "I don't think my conscience can take that.... How can I lie to everyone? Including your grandma?" I said as I shook my head.
  • "Cut that crap..... We are talking about a huge sum of money here and I know with your wretched state,,,,, you need the money.... 10 million dollars" He said as I gasped.
  • My eyes widened in shock.
  • "10 million what?" I asked in astonishment
  • "You heard me" He said
  • "The truth is that I don't like this" I said I breathed heavily.
  • "Me too! I don't like this bride thing especially I can't even bear your sight.... You disgust me but a lot of money is involved,,,, for me to get the family inheritance I need to get married, the family inheritance is about 200 million dollars" He said as I quickly covered my mouth with my palms.
  • "And after the twenty one days?" I asked with a furrowed brows.
  • "You can fvck off with the payment" He said as I bit my lips.
  • "Wait... Is there going to be a wedding?" I asked sharply.
  • "Yes.... I will make sure we annul the marriage after 21 days.... No strings attached" He said as I gulped.
  • "Duh.... I don't even like you,,,,, like I despise you as hell and I should be the one telling you *No Strings Attached" I said as I sighed loudly at him.
  • He laughed hard and that irritated me the more.
  • "What's attractive about you anyways???" He mocked
  • "Same here... You look like a piece of wood to me,,, like you are useless to me" I fired as his countenance changed.
  • I smiled within me.
  • Good for him..... He thinks he's the only one who knows how to talk rudely to people.
  • **************
  • I walked into my room tiredly as I dropped my backpack on the stool beside my bed.
  • I exhaled deeply as I laid on my bed.
  • Thoughts kept running through my mind.
  • "How will I even cope with that arrogant fool?" I thought within me as I tossed from one side of the bed to another.
  • My old looking cell phone rang aloud and I quickly picked it up.
  • It was Gloria.
  • :Girlfriend how did it go? Did you later return the passport: Her loud voice yelled from the phone speaker.
  • I breathed heavily.
  • :Yes I did....: I replied
  • :Ok... I'm sorry I couldn't accompany you,,,, I had to run some errands for Itoy: She said
  • :Its OK Gloria... I understand: I said as I scratched my head.
  • :Hey... Bess you don't sound too well,,, are you OK?: She asked anxiously.
  • Gloria knows me too well for sure.
  • :Something happened: I said as she gasped.
  • :What? Did he throw you out of the mansion?: She asked me
  • :Far from that.... But you really have to keep it down,,, I don't want to tell my mother about this: I said in a very low tone.
  • :What is it?: She asked eagerly
  • :He offered me a job: I said as she jumped for joy.
  • :Are you for real? That's good news: She rejoiced
  • :I don't think it is: I said as I tut loudly.
  • :What happened?: She asked
  • :He wants me to be his 21 DAYS BRIDE: I said as Gloria gasped in surprise.
  • Bryan's Pov:
  • I gulped down the remnant of the brandy.
  • "Wow... This is really good news Bryan!" They clinked their glasses together.
  • "Tch... I feel like am gonna be caged for 21 days" I snorted
  • "Oh please would you stop that for now?? All you have to think of is the huge sum of money on the way" Jim said as I rolled my eyes.
  • "Yes Bryan.... You're gonna be filthy rich soon once you get the money" Albert said as smiles escaped my lips.
  • "Very rich....." I added as we burst into laughter.
  • ************
  • I held Arianna's hands as grandma and Nadia followed us
  • Arianna and I kept staring at each other in disgust.
  • "Gosh... I hate this lady,,,,,, does she know how many ladies who are dying to be close to me talk more of holding their hands" I thought as she eyed me.
  • I felt like slapping her hard on the face but my eyes caught with grandma's and I smiled.
  • I pecked Arianna who could help but sneer.
  • But she also pretended though.
  • "Nadia my darling... Aren't the lovebirds too sweet?" Grandma Claire said as Nadia smiled broadly.
  • "They are grandma... Actually I love Arianna a lot already" Nadia said as Arianna hugged her.
  • Actually the two have been getting along really well.
  • But... I don't care!
  • "What are we doing here grandma?" I asked as the car pulled over in front of a boutique.
  • We got down and grandma smiled
  • "We are gonna shop here... Getting the bride a wedding gown" Grandma said as Arianna scoffed in disbelief.
  • "Like so soon?" She managed to hide her surprise.
  • "Actually next weekend" Grandma said as I scratched my head and exchanged glances with her.
  • ***"
  • I watched them from a corner as grandma and Nadia kept treating Arianna like a queen.
  • I scoffed...
  • "I can never marry than thing for real" I said in anger but within me.
  • They selected a wedding gown and Arianna walked into the inner room to wear it.
  • The door throw open and she walked out of the room in the wedding gown attire.
  • My mouth dropped open in astonishment.
  • "EXCEPTIONALLY BEAUTIFUL" I said audibly as everyone turned to me....
  • TBC....
