CONTRACT MARRIAGE

AIDEN POV:

She was fuming, and I was enjoying it so much. Yesterday night I decided to pay Isabella a visit, I wanted to meet her family and tell them personally that I wish to marry her, she can't deny her granny, I was sure of that. Now she was sitting beside me with a frown on her face, she looked cute and beautiful. Oh shit I have to stop thinking about her, she has insulted me and I am praising her, my mind is confusing me these days.

"I want to know the truth Sir, why are you willing to marry me, I already know you hate the word Love and don't believe in any sort of commitment, then why are you forcing me"

She was looking at me as if she can see my soul, her green orbs were so dark, and she looked at me with so much hatred in her eyes.

I never wished to see hate in those emerald orbs for me, I don't know why but why her hate is affecting me so much?

Listen, Isabella, I am taking you out today, so that I can give my justification, and you will get all your answers, now please do me a favor and remove those frowns from your face, you look ugly with that frowns.

"I don't care if I look ugly or not but I just can't relax and sit down when I know everything about you is a complete lie, I have witnessed everything with my own eyes, so you can fool everyone, but not me Sir". she sneered

Oh I love to tease her, she looks like a wild kitten now, ready to pounce on me, but her words pricked me somewhere in my heart.

Ok, we are here now, I will answer all your queries.

I held her hands and we moved into my restaurant, very few people knew about this place, this place was a bit secluded from the buzzy noise of the city and it was one of my favorite spots.

"Hello Sir, your table is booked, and as you requested nobody is coming here today, only two waiters will be here."

Thank you, Walter, you may take your leave now.

Isabella sat down and looked everywhere with an awe expression, she was looking excited just like a child.

"This place is so beautiful, I have never seen this restaurant, it has a cozy ambiance."

Well, thank you so much, at least you like one of my possessions.

"What this is your restaurant, I must say it is really beautiful and the interior is really eye-catching".

Hmm so let's order and then I will answer all your questions.

Waiter, please bring our latest wine and bring me our menu card.

"Yes sir".

So, Isabella, I don't want to marry you, you are right, but you see I don't have any option, I love my grandpa very much, and he doesn't have too much time left, he is sick, so I will do everything which will make him happy.

"But how can you lie and act as if, everything is normal, marriage is the biggest commitment it is not a joke, at least for me, I believe in love and marriage so I can't marry you."

I am not asking you to stay married to me forever, it will be just for a year, and then everything will be settled. I mean I have arranged a contract for us, you can look over it and mention any clause which you like, we will be married in front of everyone, and then after a year, we will call off our wedding and tell our family that we tried but we are not made for each other so we decided to divorce. I just want you to know that yes I may not be a good person but I love my family very much so, to make them happy I can do everything. I think you too love your family very much, so I like you to read through this contract. I gave her the contract and she took it.

"Sir, I know you love your family very much, and I also love my family very much, but don't you think it's unfair to me, I have to waste a whole year of my life, and when we will get divorced, everyone will talk about us and make fun about us, I love my granny very much, so I agree with you on that point, that I can do everything for my family too, but I need some time, I am not saying I will marry you, but I need to read the contract, understand everything and then only I can give my reply."

Finally, I knew this plan will work for her, she is naïve as well as innocent and loved her family too much, I know Bella you can't deny me this proposal. Thanks to Noah I got this idea.

Ok then let's raise a toast for our contract, at least you decided to give it a try. She was in deep thought and finally raised her glass and our glasses clinked together, she was looking at me with those emerald eyes as if she was trying to solve something.

Soon our lunch was served and we both ate quietly, she was in deep thought while eating also.

"Sir, thank you for the lunch and for bringing me here, it is a beautiful place and the food was really delicious."

Listen Isabella from now on you can call me Aiden outside the office, I am not your boss here, right

"Hmm ok thank you Aiden".

When I heard my name in her mouth, something stirred inside me, again I remembered her words" MY AIDEN" when I first met her, this girl was doing something to me, I have to stop this feeling.

She was silent the whole ride and when I stopped the car in front of her house, I saw her sleeping peacefully, I took this time to look into her more closely, she had such enticing plump lips, I was dying to kiss them, to feel it once again, I never forgot our kiss, and looking at her sleeping form my inner beast was dying to claim her, but no she is too good for me, this one year she will face only torcher and my humiliation, nothing else. I have to stay far away from her, I can't destroy her, I want my revenge but I will never destroy her, she is too innocent, too kind for me.

I silently pulled her and lifted her in my arms, I felt her breathing on my neck, I was losing control, I went into her house and saw her mother already waiting outside, she told me where her room is, I carefully laid her on her bed and I couldn't stop myself from placing a soft kiss in her forehead, I kissed her forehead and then her right cheek, she stirred a bit and then again slept.

Welcome to my life wifey, you will be my wife, even if it will for one year, you will regret everything you told me, I will not spare you easily.

I drove back home and was waiting for her reply. I don't know why but I never want to see hate in those emerald eyes for me, I never believed in Love, but why I can't stand her hate then?
