Chapter 4

  • Scarlett's POV
  • Glancing through the file handed over to me, I realized everything in the contract was perfect. But wait, there was another sheet.
  • “Rules of the contract?” I asked with raised eyebrows. “What's the meaning of this?” I said angrily. Who did he think he was?
  • “Yeah, I set rules for the contract just in case you end up loving me and going overboard?" I hardly laughed. He looked confused by my sudden outburst.
  • “Me? Fall in love with you. You think so highly of yourself " I said, staring him in the eye, not batting my eyelids.
  • “You are the first woman to resist me this way, but I take it you are the competitive type. It's good you know why you are here in the first place", he said coldly.
  • “As if I have a choice of my own " I scoffed.
  • “Before I proceed with reading, these rules you have sent. I guess an introduction would be better. How about we start with our names? I know we will get to know ourselves better later. I'm Scarlett McWarner ", I said with a smile.
  • “Ryan Walton, but just call me Ryan. Can we continue already? I don't have all day". He dismissed the conversation.
  • “You are so impatient ". I said, focusing back on the rules.
  • Ryan's POV
  • “Rules of the contract?", she asked with raised eyebrows. She sure is the chatty type.
  • “What's the meaning of this?", she asked angrily, putting the file on the table.
  • “Yeah, I set rules for the contract just in case you end up loving me and going overboard ". She laughed so hard I'm sure there will be tears. What was funny? I looked totally confused by her sudden outburst. She must be crazy. “Me? Fall in love with you. You think so highly of yourself "
  • Did I just get rejected in the face?
  • “You are the first woman to resist me this way, but I take it you are the competitive type. It's good you know why you are here in the first place", I replied coldly.
  • “As if I have a choice of my own " she scoffed.
  • “Before I proceed with reading these rules you have sent. I guess an introduction would be better. How about we start with our names? I know we will get to know ourselves better later. I'm Scarlett McWarner ", she said with a smile. This girl is really unpredictable. In the last few minutes, she was angry about the rules and now she's asking for an introduction. “Ryan Walton, but just call me Ryan. Can we continue already? I don't have all day", I dismissed the conversation.
  • “You are so impatient ". She said she focused back on reading the contract.
  • Scarlett's POV
  • I glanced through the rules one by one.
  • Rule 1: Party A and B will proceed with the marriage the next two weeks after being introduced to party A's family
  • Rule 2: The marriage between party A and B is supposed to last for two years, after which there will be a divorce .
  • Rule 3: Party B must not ever disclose the contract to anyone, not even by mistake, else there would be consequences.
  • Rule 4: Party B must uphold her good image as Mrs. Walton wherever she goes and must not be seen around with any guy.
  • Rule 5: Party B would only be left to leave the premises with an escort.
  • Rule 6: In the house, party B and A will sleep in separate rooms.
  • Rule 7: Party B must maintain her distance from party A at all costs and must not interfere in his lifestyle and vice versa.
  • Rule 8: Party B must cooperate with party A in front of his family
  • Rule 9: Party B is not allowed to leave the premises without party A's consent.
  • Rule 10:If party B breaches the rules of the contract, a fine of 100 million US dollars must be paid to party A immediately as compensation.
  • “Really all these rules but why?"
  • “So you know your stand”, he replied coldly.
  • “I have a few questions to ask and I don't want you to interfere until I'm done, else I'm not going to sign this". I said, tapping the table, waiting for his reply. He nodded in response.
  • “Well, why is the marriage so early? Don't I have to study you for a while? Why are you in a rush? A wedding can't be planned in just two weeks. Why two years of marriage when it can be shortened to one year? Do you want to destroy my chances of finding love? Why can't I be seen around with guys? Come on, I have male friends. I don't see the reason why I need an escort and your permission before I leave the house. I can take care of myself. And who cares about what you do? I have better things doing myself. “What if you go overboard in front of your parents and why am I the only one to pay a fine?". He laughed. Did he just laugh while I was being serious?
  • “I don't want to waste time on the wedding and don't worry, I've got everything under control. My time is limited. I need to get married as soon as possible. You can invite your friends to the wedding if you want, but I want a private wedding. I don't need your permission to decide when I will end this marriage. It needed to be long to convince my father we were in love. And my wife must not be seen around with any man. You don't want to get caught by the paparazzi or in the public bad books. You are not even attractive to me, so I won't go overboard. Just act along when it's time ". He said coldly, staring at me.
  • I sucked in a deep breath. His conditions are reasonable. It's better than staying with my dad, so I didn't hesitate and signed “Happy cooperation". I shook his hands and stood up, heading for the door. “I will get my men to bring your stuff here tomorrow". I left the room before he could say anything else.
  • Ryan's POV
  • “Really all these rules but why?" She asked, confused with a hint of anger, “So you know your stance", I replied coldly.
  • “I have a few questions to ask and I don't want you to interfere until I'm done, else I'm not going to sign this". She said, tapping the table, waiting for my reply. I nodded in response.
  • “Well, why is the marriage too early? Don't I have to study you for a while? Why are you in a rush? A wedding can't be planned in just two weeks. Why two years of marriage when it can be shortened to one year? Do you want to destroy my chances of finding love? Why can't I be seen around with guys? Come on, I have male friends. I don't see the reason why I need an escort and your permission before I leave the house. I can take care of myself. And who cares about what you do? I have better things doing myself. “What if you go overboard in front of your parents and why am I the only one to pay a fine?". I laughed harder. Why was she saying a lot of things at once? That's childish.
  • “I don't want to waste time on the wedding and don't worry, I've got everything under control. My time is limited. I need to get married as soon as possible.

  • “Happy cooperation". She shook my hands and stood up, heading for the door. “I will get my men to bring your stuff here tomorrow". I spoke, halting her movement. She left the room before I could say anything else.
