Chapter 23

Namjoon

'Are you reading a movie script to me?' Seleno spoke.

She didn't believe me, I knew it.

I just looked at her.

'What? Do you want me to believe whatever you said just now?' She spoke.

I nodded.

A playful smile graced her lips, at least she smiled and looks a little relaxed for the first time since she arrived here.

'So, you mean, that you have to marry someone so that you can inherit the inheritance as per your grandfather's will?' she asked.

I nodded again.

As per my grandfather's will, I should be married before I turn 30 to inherit his Billion-dollar business back in Korea. My grandfather passed away last year and we had no fucking clue about his will until 3 months back.

It's not like, I need his business for any reason, for fucks sake, I'm a Billionaire myself but simply because I cannot let someone get their dirty hands on my father and grandfather's years of hard work.

As per the will, if I'm not inheriting the business, it will go to the next-in-line heir under the same conditions. He or She needs to be at least married by 30 and have a family within 3 years of marriage, I purposely excluded the 'having a family' part from Selena. I'm still testing the waters…. I can buy time for that.

The next in line is my cousin Park YeoJin, we are the same age and he's set to get married next year Jan before he turns 30. My dad told me that my uncle and his son were already aware of my grandfather's will as they live in Korea with my grandfather. So, they had already planned everything so they can inherit the will.

My Uncle and my cousin are extremely money and power-hungry people I have met in my life. They treat money like water and don't care about a dime before spending it. They are the ones who will misuse the power the way they want to get things done but act like saints, Wolves dressed like sheep.

They probably believe I'm not going to do anything about the will because they never told us about it.

But guess what…. They are in for a fucking rude awakening!!!! I'm just going to sweep everything under their noses and they wouldn't even get a chance to figure things out.

So, yeah... that's my little secret, and I pray that my date here tonight agrees to the proposal.

'And why me?' She asked again bringing me out of my trance.

I turned my attention to her and found her looking at me with a calm expression.

'Because you fit the role perfectly.'

She cocked an eyebrow at me!

Okay, let's convince my date!!!

I walked towards the table and sat across from her again. She still looked at me with a calm expression.

'Because we both are celebrities, it won't be difficult to make people believe that we kept our relationship under wraps due to our status.'

'We've never been seen together in public nor worked together, people would be curious to know how, when and where we met!!!' She spoke.

'You don't remember?' I asked.

'Except the award show 3 years ago.' She shrugged.

At least she remembers that!

'I've been a music producer for your last movie and I wrote the OST (Original Sound Track) for both seasons of "Destined Lovers".

"We've worked together?" she asked looking a little amused.

I bet she didn't know about it.

'So, the award show is where the story begins.' She asked again.

She's smart.

I nodded.

'What about your family? Do they know anything about this?' She spoke.

'They are happy that I've decided to marry finally.'

'Typical Asian parents thing?' She asked with a smile and I smile back.

At least we have one thing in common… 'Asian Parents'
