Nicholas check the time again and look around, he has been here for about thirty minutes and he hasn't seen the girl, the neighborhood was terrifying him because of how dirty it look, he was about to give up and just go when he saw her coming, she was dragging her leg slowly, it seems like she is in a deep thoughts, he watch this she get to his place and her eyes widen when she saw him.
"Nicholas Steel, what are you doing here?" She asked.
"I came to see you, Can we talk in your house?" he said and she nodded before leading him to her house , they arrived and he looked around the small apartment.
"We can go to another place if you are not comfortable" she said after seeing the look on his face.
"No no, I am okay," he said and sat on her small bed.
"So what brought you here?" She asked gently.
"You might know what is going on on the internet now because of our nightstand," he said.
"Yeah, I can't forget the hateful look I received from people I don't even know," Adelaide said gently.
"So it gets me into a serious situation and I will really need your help"he said.
"My help?" She asked in confusion and he nodded.
"So what is it?" She asked.
"I want us to get married" he dropped the bombshell.
"What" she gasps.
"How could she get married"She thought shaking her head.
"Please don't reject me, it will really benefit us, since people think bad of us now, getting married will really help, please don't say no" he pleaded.
"I understand what you are saying, but marriage is not something you just did, it is a lifetime commitment and we know nothing about each other so how do you expect us to marry?" she said slowly.
"This is really important to me and my family, tell me anything you want is it money, I also hear you wish for your brother to go to college, I will send him to the best college in this state, I will change you people's lives" he said desperately.
"Everything is not about money, I have always wished to marry the person I love" she said as her mind went to Dalton, she had planned their future together and didn't know everything would turn out this way, the thought of how she was publicly embarrassed suddenly filled her head and she sighs sadly.
"If you accept this, your life we changed forever" Noah voice snapped her out of her thought.
"You don't seem to understand what I am saying?" She said gently.
"I understand but think about it, you will have everything that you desire, I will make that possible myself" he said seriously.
"I will accept if you also accept my deal" she suddenly said. It's about time to put all those treating her and her brother in their place.
"Tell me anything you want," he said.
"Do you know a company name ADEFRANS MOTOR?" She asked gently.
"Yeah, That's where I bought some of my cars," Nicholas said.
"That company belongs to my parents, we lost it after their death," she said.
"So what do you want me to do?" He asked.
"I want you to get the company back for me, can you do that?" She asked.
"That's the littlest thing I can do," he said with a proud smile.
"Can you release my brother from the cell too?" she asked further.
"I can bail a murderer out If I wanted to," he said coolly.
"Then let's get married" she said as they both stared at each other.
"Women will always be woman she just agreed to marry me because of money"He thought and smiled.
"Then let's get married" she said and they both stare at each other.
"Let's calm down a little, we don't have to rush," Nicholas smiled.
"I am just kidding" Adelaide said shyly which made him smile wider, she looked kinda cute.
"Let me call dad and tell him everything" he said and picked up his phone.
"Hello dad, so I have decided to marry her" he said after his father picked the call.
"Have you told her?" His father asked.
"Yeah, I have, and she agrees," he said gently.
"Bring her to the mansion tomorrow, let her come with her family, " his dad said.
"Isn't tomorrow a bit fast?" He asked gently.
"No, bring her right away," his father said and hung up.
"He wants us to go to the mansion tomorrow with your family," he said to her.
"I only have my brother, I don't have any other family" she said nervously.
"That shouldn't be a problem, let's bail him out first," he said and stood up.
"Right now?" She asked from where she was sitting.
"Yeah, didn't you miss him?" He asked with raised eyebrows.
"I do let go" she said before picking her bag. They went out and he opened the door for her to enter.
"Thanks" she muttered and entered, he joined her and they drove out immediately.
They arrive at the station a few minutes later and Adelaide was shocked because of how the cops were greeting him and showing respect.
"How dare you lock up my brother-in-law?" He asked and their eyes widened.
"We are sorry, we don't know, release him right now" the leader shouted and they went to release him. He didn't say anything and just followed his sister who was signaling for him to relax, they all entered the car. Francisco was sitting at the back with his leg on top of each other that one will think he is the boss, he didn't say anything and was just pressing his phone, they arrived at their apartment and they both came out of the car.
"I will come and carry you 6. Pm please be ready" Nicholas said before walking away. They both entered the apartment and Fransisco went to sit on the bed.
"Please say something, the way you are quiet is scary" Adelaide finally said which made Fransisco chuckle.
"I think I get the idea of what is happening, I saw the news online, but I don't know you two are dating" Fransisco said.
"The whole thing is complicated, we actually have a one night stand and we are getting married now" she said. Fransisco didn't say anything.
"I know you are judging me," she said sadly.
"No no,that is not it, I just don't know why you will agree to marry a total stranger, please if you are having a mixed feeling back out" Fransisco said which made her smile.
"We can make it work, there are a lot of marriages that started that way, so I have hope and he seems nice too" she said with a blush.
"Then I support you with my full chest, I am taking you to the altar, I have to give him warning before handing you over to him" he said which made her smile.
"He is going to send you to college and help us," she said.
"I just want you to be happy I don't need his money," he said.
"He said we are going to their house tomorrow, please don't say no" she pleaded.
"You know I can't say no to you, bride to be" he said and she hugged him tightly.

A RESTAURANT
Adelaide's mind had been troubled, she couldn't stop thinking about her life and how everything was happening so fast, she was so distracted that she mistakenly spilled a little water on a customer.
"What the hell?" the lady shrieked loudly.
"I am so….."before Adelaide can finish her statement, a loud slap landed on her face and she gasped in shock.
"Are you blind? Did you know how much this dress cost?" the woman yelled loudly.
"It was a mistake," she said sadly.
"Did I look like I care, even your annual salary, cannot pay for this dress" she said arrogantly. Her loud scream got a lot of attention and the manager was there already.
"Ma'am we are so sorry, for her mistake " the manager begged.
"I don't want to accept any apology, " the woman said.
"Then what do you want, cash?" A voice asked from the door and everyone gasped when they said Nicholas . He walked majestically into the restaurant.He watched the way the woman slapped Adelaide.He got annoyed.
"She ruined my dress," the lady said gently.
"Oh really" Nicholas said and carrying a bottle of wine, he opened it and emptied the contents on her body, the lady gasping in shock.
"What are you doing?" The lady yelled.
"I am ruining the clothes so that I can pay for it" he said and brought out a bundle of cash and dropped it on the table.
"This will be more than enough" he said and grabbed Adelaide hand, he then took her out of the restaurant, Adelaide was in shock as she stared at his handsome face. They can hear people murmuring, some are even taking pictures already.
"So if I hadn't interfered, you would have just stayed there without doing anything?" He asked.
"I am just a waitress, and you know customers are always right," she said gently.
"Thank goodness this is your last time in there, immediately we get married you won't do any of the job again" he said seriously.
"So why are you here, you said 6.pm and it just past 4.pm" she said.
"You think I will take you to my family, while you look this way, get into the car" he said and opened the door, she entered and he went to join her and they drove out.

DIVAS FASHION WORLD
Adelaide gasped when they got to the mall, it was the most popular mall and that's where the celebrities bought their clothes, shoes and other accessories. She has heard about it a lot and didn't dream of visiting the place.
The moment they enter the staff surrounded them with a smile, the way they are greeting Nicholas made her realize he might be bigger than she has ever imagined.
"I want you to change her, make her look very beautiful," he said.
"That is our speciality, let go sweetheart" a middle aged woman said and took Adelaide into a room, Nicholas sat down and started reading a fashion magazine.
Adelaide's eyes widened when she saw the price tags on the beautiful dresses that were hung, she was led to a comfortable room and they started the job from her hair. They turned her straight hair into a curl, she looked so fine as they did some make up on her face, then a dress was pushed in. She saw twenty million dollars on its tag and she was too afraid to even wear it. She looks so different as she was led toward now.
"Now this is what I am talking about" Nicholas said while admiring her pretty body. He grabbed her hand and led her to the male section.
"Never knew she is this beautiful "He thought starting at her.
"Nicholas"She called him blushing.
"You know your brother size right, choose the appropriate clothes for him" Nicholas said. Adelaide look at the tuxedos in shock, they look so expensive but the fact that the man in front of her can purchase hundreds if he wants to, surprises her. She finally choose a white tuxedo because that is Francisco favorite color.
"It will be delivered to him, tell him to wear it to the mansion" he said.
"Thank you for everything," she said.
"It's okay, let go, it's time already" he said and they both went out.
