Contractually Married

As they openly say 'life isn't fair', well for me, that's exactly the definition of my own life...not until I reached the age of 18, where I signed the most stupid arrangement and contract in my life. Do you know what consist of that 'so-called' arrangements? Well, let me tell you... it's just me and my name who and which is going to be tied 'contractually' to the end of the name of my jerk of a (so-called) husband. You heard that---Contractually? Yes. We're just going to be 'contractually 'married' for five years.. for five long years. And since it's only for five years, we don't have to act like those typical husband and wife or a lovey-dovey-couple that you can see everywhere holding each other's hands while walking, hugging, kissing.. and ohh.. eating each other's face. Because that's exactly the opposite situation of our 'marriage'. He hates me with all his guts and same with me, although I really don't know why and where his hates coming from. - - - - - - - - - - - - So, here I am... Arriana Angela Kelley- Smith, married to Alexander Jonathan Smith who is known to be one of the successful and richest bachelor 'slash' womanizer in the whole business state of California. Hmmp! little did they know, he was already married 'to me' four years ago.

Chapter thirty-nine: Belle's secret

Rian's POV:

I pulled Belle upstairs.. to my old room and to the terrace.

We seated at the outdoor table set across each other. My eyes never leave her face.

"Rian.."

"Belle.." 

We both called our name in unison. We both smiled and she let me talk first.

"I didn't know you're my brother's fiancee. You didn't mention it since we met again last week."

"Yeah."

She smiled, and I noticed the sadness behind that smile. "I remember you told me before that you have a brother, but I never thought it was him."

"Yup. It's Dani. Daniel Kelley." I paused and take a long and deep breath before I asked her again. "Belle, could you please tell me your reason on why did you accept this agreement? And why are you marrying my brother?"

"Rian.." 

I don't know yet her reason but I can see through her reaction that it's something I already know, so I tried to ask it though.

"Is it something about your past?"
