Chapter 5 Four

“Yup, he asked that I become his wife for a year in exchange for the money for Mia’s treatment.” I tell the bewildered Ava.

I feel like fate is mocking me. After vowing not to have any emotional ties with men after Mia’s dad impregnated me at the age of 19 and abandoned me. Denying me and my unborn baby to everyone who cared to listen and causing me to have an estranged relationship with my dad, I made a promise to myself to never leave myself at the mercy of a man. I vowed to raise my daughter by myself to be a strong lady and give her everything she ever needed. And now here I am with my baby, barely five years old and I have already failed her.

“Emily” Ava called my name, pulling me back from my faraway thoughts. “Who is this person? Are you sure you haven’t met him before? Because only a completely insane person would set out to marry someone he just met on the street, even if its just for a year.” She voiced out what I’ve been thinking repeatedly in my mind.

“I promise you, I don’t know this man. His face looks vaguely familiar but I don’t seem to remember where I’ve seen him before”.

“What’s his name?”

“Nathan” I stood up, fishing in the back pocket of my jean trouser for the business card he gave to me. I brought it out and stared at it, I was too pissed to give it a second look before. It looks fancy. “Nathan .M. Fisher” I called aloud.

“Nathan freaking who!” Ava jumped up from her seat and snatched the card from my hand before I knew what was going on, scaring me a bit.

And then she screamed aloud, if not for the high end sedatives that Mia was on, she definitely would have woken up.

“Shush!”

“Nathan Fisher! The Nathan Fisher?” She exclaimed jumping up and down like a teenage girl.

“If you don’t stop screaming this instant, I’m going to have to send you out of this room, you’re going to wake Mia up”. I warned her

“I’m sorry, I’m sorry.” And then she took a pillow and screamed into it. Her reaction had me both amused and concerned. Who is this man that has turned my cousin into a 14 years old?

“Who is Nathan Fisher?” I asked candidly, earning a look from Ava as though I had grown another head.

“Are you freaking kidding me?” You’ve got to be the only young lady that doesn’t know who Nathan Fisher is. He is the owner of the Fisher Mining company and one of the top 10 most eligible bachelors. ” She explained excitedly.

“I thought Marcus Fisher was the owner of the company?” I asked in my ignorance.

She rolled her eyes and sat down, explaining to me in a calm, slow voice, like I was a child. “ Same thing Couz. Marcus Fisher is Nathan’s dad, and Nathan as the son is the heir to the Fisher’s group of companies, his dad recently retired as the acting CEO and will soon hand over to Nathan making him the new CEO.

Oh, that was why his face looked familiar.

“I remember seeing something like that on the news some time ago, it was a big deal.”

“Exactly!” Ava agreed.
