Chapter 7

  • EMILY POV
  • I can't believe this! Am being kissed by a total stranger, I thought as I tried to pull away from him
  • But he pulled me back and deepened the kiss.
  • I tried to think of some thing, some thing that will distract me, some thing that will stop me from responding to his kisses but I found none and when I was about to respond to it he pulled away from me.
  • I tried to move out of his arms but he held me back
  • "Don't move, not yet, the reporter is taking pictures of us "he said
  • It wasn't until he mentioned the reporters that I realised that his kissing me was all for a show.
  • "He is gone now"he said as he let me go.
  • I tried to compose myself before looking at him again
  • "You don't have the right to kiss me"I said
  • "I had to, it was my reputation that was at stake"He replied
  • "Wow, your reputation right?"I said sarcastically
  • "Look we have both decided to play the part of being married ,we will have to start from some where"he said
  • "Wait! You only told me I had to pretend, you didn't tell me that you would have to kiss me"
  • "You can't expect us to pretend without touching one another"
  • "I don't, I don't want you to touch me at all"I yelled at him
  • "You have no choice Emily, we are to be a happy married couple, they have to see that we are happy together" he said
  • "We can do it with out touching each other"I said
  • "That's impossible Emily"he replied
  • "You pervert, I should have known, what was I thinking when I agreed to this" I said feeling flustered by his words
  • "But you have agreed and there is nothing you can do to change that"he said
  • "Really! do you think I can do nothing?"i asked giving him a mischievous smile.
  • He pulled me into his Arms ,it was so sudden that I didn't brace myself for the impact.
  • "Listen up Emily, you agreed to this already, there is no turning back now"he said
  • "There is Mr Callaghan and I will take that path, I can't seem to trust you from not wanting to touch me "
  • "And what's so bad with me touching you, am I that bad to you?"He asked
  • "Womanisers like you sicken me and I will prefer we end this sham before we take it any further, I will find a way to pay you for the money you lent me and................."I couldn't finish my word because he pushed me to the wall angrily
  • "We Made a deal Emily, own up to it!" He yelled at me
  • "I don't want to! I hate the thought of having to lie to innocent people"
  • "You will and there is nothing you will do about it, stop testing my patience Emily, you won't want to see Mad, I will pick you up at ten tomorrow , get ready before I arrive" he said and stormed off.
  • I stood there, trying to calm myself down, I had thought that this deal of a sort will just have to be me pretending, I never thought that Cade would want it to be more.
  • What should I do? What mess have I gotten myself into,I thought as I head back to the waiting room.
  • CADE POV
  • "But why her, you could have chosen other ladies, ones that are willing to do any thing for you" Rose Emily boss asked as we stood in her office lobby
  • "Because she is the first lady who hasn't tried to offer me her body"I replied
  • "And what makes you think that she won't, she just haven't thought of it yet?" Rose said wanting to destroy Emily image in front of me
  • "When that comes, I will know how to handle her, this is the money I promised for the buying of Emily house"I said and my secretary opened a brief case to show her the money
  • "But the house isn't really that expensive?"She asked
  • "I know, am Just giving you for a well job well done" he said
  • "Oh thank you Cade, thank you "she said as she took the brief case.
  • "Just one more thing Rose, you must never tell anyone about it, most especially Emily "I said and she nodded in affirmation.
  • "She won't know that you payed me to buy her house and to put pressure on her"Rose said
  • "I hope so, you wouldn't want me as an enemy"he said
  • "Don't worry I know how ruthless you are and I wouldn't want to be the main focus of your ruthlessness" she said.
  • Together my secretary and I head to the car
  • "Where are we going next?"I asked
  • "To see the man you hired to take Emily money "He said
  • "We have to hurry, I have to be some where by Ten" I said as I relaxed a bit in the car .
  • I just can't believe that to get a girl, I had to use my power and wealth.
  • If it had been any girl, it wouldn't be this hard, I would have gotten what I want from her but Emily is a different case.
  • She is the first lady who hasn't been moved by my wealth or by how powerful I am.
  • Other girls would have rejoiced at being my pretend bride but she made it clear that she isn't interested.
  • "Sir we are here" my secretary said we he stood in front of a building.
  • A guy opened the car door and got into the car .
  • "This is her wallet and her money is still intact" the man said and I took Emily Wallet the from him.
  • "Give him the money"I said and immediately my secretary gave him the brief case filled with money.
  • "I will double that as long as you keep this a secret, no one, most especially the lady you stole from should know about this " i said
  • "Yes sir, she won't ever find out" the man replied as he left the car.
  • "We will be heading to miss Emily house now" my secretary said.
  • Emily! a strange name for a strange girl. I wonder how surprised my mother will be when she sees that have brought home the girl I supposedly love.
  • She will be shocked at first and am sure that with time, they would give up on me marrying Isabel and when am sure that I won't be bothered by them again,I will just then end the farce between Emily and myself but not with out letting know what it is to have me in her bed.
  • EMILY POV
  • While my dad took over watching my mom, I left the hospital and went back home to get dressed.
  • If it were up to me, I would end it all right away but I can't do that.
  • One because I owe him and two because am scared of what he might do to make me pay for breaking our deal.
  • I got changed and was all ready when the door bell was rung.
  • Taking in a deep breath, I went to open the door only to find Brad there.
  • "What are you doing here Brad?"I asked gently
  • "I back for you my love, am back to get you " he said and with out warning, he pulled me into his arms and kissed me.
