Diego's POV.
The next morning, I stood in my balcony as I scrutinized the massive yard. The morning breeze did wonders on my very soft skin.
Well am on Vacation and I don't need to work or stress.
Just then my eyes met with my car. Gosh! It looked a mess, that lady will most definitely pay dearly for doing this to my car. I mean we didn't splash the water on her purposely.
I pounderd on what to do to her and what to do to my granny, before taking my phone to my ear.
"Get me that lady"I ordered.
She's fuçking going to hate her life once am done with her.
She'll pay me back..
I am still borderd about my grandma. I mean the woman wants me to get married but am in no way ready for a relationship talk more of a marriage.
Just then this car pulls over in the compound and a man with a very fat tummy came out of it..
Why do I have a feeling this means danger
I watched the guards take the man into the mansion.
Could this man be the lawyer. Granny was only pulling my legs right?
I quickly put on my shirt and walked out of my room heading to the main room.
There Grandma was eating some biscuits, Yasmin was seated beside her but she was engaged in her phone.
"Mr Noel. Come have breakfast." She smiled at him.
"Oh no. Madam. I have other things to do so I would like us to go into business now" she man nodded his head.
I watched them exchange pleasantries, smiles and laughter before she turned to me. She knew I was watching. I swallowed the lump that formed in my throat then gave her this questioning look which she returned with a smirk. Grandma ma! This old woman, she meant what she said over dinner.
"You see Me Noel. I have decided to give all my properties to the government. I want to help the poor, I'll be dying soon and they'll be no one to succeed me"she rolled her words out so dramatically.
"Madam, what are you saying? You have Yasmin and Diego to success you" The lawyer said and Yasmin gave a sigh.
"Nah ah. I really don't need such in my life. Just count me out" she said getting up from the sofa.
"Then Diego here can take it on".
"No. Diego isn' worthy of such responsibility, beside he isn't of my descendant." She said making my jaw drop.
"What are you saying granny am you grandson" I said walking to her.
"Your not. You can't be my grand child" she spat out.
This is wickedness, what did I do to this woman. So I'll watch her give my property to the government.
"Madam. If this is what you want then I'll go to court and prepare the papers. I'll also inform the government comitee once they give thier approval I'll send the documents to you for your signatures then you'll hand it offer to the government officials" he said.
"That would be wonderful. But when do I expect it?"
"In the next three days"
"That's great. Thanks for your help Mr Noel, I'll see you in the next three days" She said
Once the man was out of the house I turned to her.with anger boiling in me. " Granny what is all this?"
"Never raise your voice at me Diego" she yelled.
"But Granny, your giving my things out. I own all of this"
"Like I said Mr, your not worthy for the responsibility. By responsibility I mean you don't have a family"
"Granny please stop this"
"I'll stop in three days, that's if you can get married in three days."
"So you mean if I get married in three days you'll give back my inheritance?" I questioned.
"No. I'll hold in for a while the moment your.wife becomes pregnant I'll sign it over to you"
"Pregnant! Granny no." I almost went on my knees.
"This won't work on me son" she sighed before walking out on me.
Granny has always been hot head and strict.
She has a way of getting what ever she wants.
I sat on the cold floor as I began to pounder on my life.
If I loose the inheritance it means I'll become a nobody.
I own a few business but those business won't make me super rich like my inheritance would.
"Oh Diego. I forgot to tell you this. I also froze all your accounts."She said said.
"Granny no. No! Please no"
I don't know if this woman is really my grandma, she acts like she picked me from the street.
God how did I get here.
hours later
Brianna's POV.
The restaurant was filled up as always, I served the people on the huge table and went back to get other food left to serve.
"Brianna. Someone is here of you" the manager said walking into the kitchen area.
"Okay. I'll be there sir. I'll just serve the last table".
"No let it be. Go to the car outside someone is waiting for you"
Dropping the tray of food I walked to the car section to see a very flashy car.
Woah! Who the hell wants to see me.
I got to the car and the tinted glass got whined reviling a very familiar man.
I scratched my head trying to remember where I had seen him but my brain was numb.
"Get in the car!" He ordered.
"Why?"
"Just get in the car missy. We have business to discuss"
"What business is that?" I asked again.
Of course am curious, who those businesses this way.
Like I should just get myself into the car.
"Its worth millions dear" he smiled at me.
"Just get in. I just want talk".
I gulped hard, then opened the door and got in.
"The moment I got in the man locked the door, ignited the car and zoomed off
"Where are we going too sir?"
Oh my am in big soup. This man wants to kill me.
"God I did nothing wrong. Am you girl right? Come save me saviour" I cried.
Why did I get into this car. Have I become so in need of money.
Very soon we got to a very nice compound a bungalow was built in the very pretty compound.
"Get down boss wants to see you"
Just then I recalled the man's face. He was the man that kept starring at me in the restaurant the other day.
We walked into the empty bungalow to meet man that was sitting with his back against us.
"So your here?" His thick harsh and manipulative voice came.
Brianna's POV.
"Yes I am. Is there any problem?" I tried to sound very strong but I wasn't.
My spirt had long left my body.
"Hmm fearless!" He cracked turning to face me.
"Why did you call me here?" I asked starring hard at him.
I looked at his very dark eyes that pronounced nothing but coldness.
"You have a pending dept missy and I'd love for you to pay up now"
"What the fuck are you talking about?" I almost yelled.
"Nah. Don't raise your voice" he whispered walking closer to me.
His presence was so intimidating but I stood my ground.
He picked up a picture as he walked towards me and threw it on my body.
"I bet you'll understand now." The moment he said this i took the picture up to my face and almost screamed. It was the picture of the car I broke.
"You." I gasped.
"Yes me and I want my car fixed today"
"But you splashed the muddy water on me and you didn't apologize" I rasped and he chuckled.
"Yeah. I did but I don't see any damages, your skin still looks flawless and bright but my car is broken, so pay or else I'll call the cops now" his slow words came with so much wrath.
"Cops. There's no need for that good sir"
"It's good you know, now my money" he demanded.
I swallowed hard then raised my eyes to meet his cold dark eyes.
"How much is it"
"It's only but a million dollars" his italian accent did wonders to my ear.
"What your lying"
"You have a phone?" He asked and I nodded.
"Now search for the price of this" he said giving a name written on a piece of paper.
I filled the long name that was written on the paper and searched for it..my jaw dropped automatically.
"Oh My God. I don't have such money".
"Yeah you don't. Even your salary for three years won't buy one that part of the car"
"Sir. Am really sorry for the damage done to your car, it was never intentional" I begged.
" I know, I know sweat heart but the damage has already been done" he said.
For a man who's demand for his money he looks calm. His face had this calmness that I just can't explain, I just hope my begging changes his mind.
"I know sir. I really want to pay you but I don't have the money"
"Ask your family members for help"
"Sir please I don't have anyone my parents will never given me such money if they ever had "I begged in tears.
"Baby doll. Your tears won't help you pay your debt. Hurry up with the payment or I'll call the cops.", He yelled at the last sentence and I fell on my knees.
"I really have no money but I'll do anything to pay, I'll work in your house until my dept is cleared, I'll wash you car, I'll do anything please don't call the cops on me. I can't bare styay in jail"
"You'll do anything?" He asked making me rethink anything, I mean any good thing but since he was about say something I just swallowed hard and answered positively.
"Yes sir".
"That's great" he said helping stand up.
"Your a nice lady. You look good and am sure you'll make a nice wife"he smiled but I was confused.
"I do not understand sir."
"Marry me! You'll have to marry me for some months, that will do" He's words sounded like a slap on my face. I just watched him speechlessly.
"What do you mean marrying you?", I finally found my voice. He faced me with a very dirty glare.
"You'll just have to accept it missy"he rasped.
"And what if I don't?" I asked folding my hands underneath my breast.
When I said I could do anything, I meant I could do house chores not get married to a devil.
"Then you'll have to pay me my money"he's voice came so loud and inferiorly to me.
"But I don't have such money I whined"
"Then face the consequences, you'll go to jail"
His words send shivers down my spine.
It isn't worth going to jail. Nothing is ever what it.
"You said it's just a few months stuff right?"
"A year precise and I need an answer now"
"Wait. Why do you need a wife. Like why?" I asked.
"That's not your business Missy." He ranted.
I've read and heard stories of how men marry to get something. This man wants to get something from marrying me and if am saying yes then I fucking need to part take in the gain.
"What's in for me?"
Diego's POV.
"What's in for me?" She asked and I arched a brow.
I just gave her a chance to pay her debt and she's asking what's in for her. Such audacity.
"You'll no longer owe me a dime"I said and she laughed.
I had to stay still for some moment, was my face not scary enough?
"Oh Mr. I know you'll get a lot of things from this. I fuçking know you'll get money and I can't do such job for only a million" she cracked as I just watched.
"I'll do it but I need to get something out of it"
"Thirty million dollars, a house and a car. With this you don't need to beg"
"Hmm deal so where do I signed?" she asked.
Fuck..I was expecting her to beg or whine maybe cry for hours but this girl is ready to sign. It's a good thing at least I'll get married soon enough
"This place same time tomorrow we are getting married" I stated.
Brianna's POV.
I knew there was no way out.
The man needs a wife and I need money.
It won't be that hard to act as a wife for a year but I feel so bad that I have to make money in such way.
I feel I've sold my dignity. If I had the money I would had paid him and avoided all this.
Even if his going to pay me to act as his wife. That doesn't mean I have to leave my crazy character out of it. That doesn't mean I'll let his voice and dark eyes make me feel inferior. Am a woman and I'll stand my ground.
"Leave" he ordered.
I smiled at him "Bye hubby"
