Chapter 2 Chloe Millers

"Hello mom" Chloe said over the phone "hello dear" Mrs Millers said "you don't sound too good" her mom noticed.

"yes mom, I don't. I can't believe that you guys aren't over the marriage stuff. Can't I just get married to who ever I want to get married to?" she whined

"No dear, you must obey your dad" it didn't look like her mom was helping matters. "but mom! why the Finn's?" she didn't like the idea but clearly, her opinion didn't matter because, her dad had made it clear to her earlier that she had no say and must go ahead with what he wanted. She decided to call her mom, maybe she'd be of help and talk to her dad but she was wrong. Her mom wasn't really different from her dad, or maybe there was a little difference, her mom pleads while her dad demands.

"you know the company depends on your marriage with him, that's why"

"blah blah blah" she mumbled, she had heard that severally and she didn't want to anymore. "I've got to go" she said hanging up. Chloe Millers was the only daughter and child of the Millers, her childhood was smooth and easy going that she didn't think she'd be forced to marry someone against her wish. She grew up in Chicago with her parents and moved to Los Angeles after her father had told her to manage Maxs, as the vice president.

She looked around her apartment as she arranged the furnitures which had just come in. She had been in Los Angeles for over a week and decided to rest within that week and resume work the following week.

"Chloe" she heard her name over the door followed by continuous knocking. "Willy, I'll be there soon" she said as she walked to the door and opened it

"Hi" she smiled at the good looking young man who was standing before her. His blue eyes smiled at her through his cheeks and she missed that look. "come on! don't give me that weird look" Willy laughed as he pulled her into a hug. She felt so good in his arms as he lifted her up and turned around, he missed her so much and she missed him too.

"Why didn't you visit sooner?" she frowned

"uhm... I've been so busy and you know that, I'm sorry" he apologized.

Willy had been Chloe's best friend since her childhood, they practically grew up together.

"How's the whole stuff with your parents going?" he was concerned "They're still insisting that I get married" she said sadly

"oh my! that would be difficult. You don't even have a boyfriend and I doubt you believe in love, so getting you a husband would be so difficult" he complained and he was right, Chloe wasn't the type that had time for guys, she was only focused on achieving her goals and here she is, faced with the reality of getting married. What was she going to do?

"That's not the problem" she sighed

"then what is?"

"they want me to get married to the famous Marco Finn" she shook her head in frustration

"Marco Finn? the billionaire?" Willy was amazed

"his parents money!" she corrected "whatever! that's the story they want people to believe" Will smiled

"But I don't get, what's so wrong about that? your parents provided a guy for you and you don't want to?" Will asked

"yeah, I don't want to. I barely know him and what's the point"

"come on girl, you have to. You know your dad, he won't rest until you do what he wants, you know that better than I do"

"That's true" Willy was right, her dad wouldn't rest and he wouldn't let her rest either until she agrees to get married to the man of his choice "What would you have done if your parents had demanded you get married to a lady of their choice?" she asked him

"I would agree, as long as she's sexy" he raised a brow

"But you're gay!"

"Bi!" he corrected "oh fuckk!" she yelled in frustration, Willy wasn't the one to have this discussion with.

"Chloe" Willy walked up to her and sat beside her "as your best friend, I'd give you my own advice" he removed strands of his short curly brown which got into his face.

"I think you should get married to him, it doesn't mean you have to stay married to him forever! who knows, you might both grow to love each other and if not, you can divorce him later on" Willy said with all sincerity

Divorce! that was the word she was drawn to, Will gave her an idea. She was going to accept getting married to Marco and divorce him later on, she had finally gotten the solution to her problem.

"I love you so much" she pecked Will on his cheeks severally "easy! you'll turn me on" he smirked

"what?!" she pushed him away "you're crazy" she laughed. She felt so happy and relieved that the solution she had been seeking for over a month was just before her! why didn't she consult Willy earlier?

"so have you met him?"

"Marco?"

"yeah"

"not in person" she wasn't ready to meet him but she had to

"hmm... what have you been waiting for? your parents ought to have set you both up a couple of times" he frowned at her. He was right, their parents had set them up five times, three times, she didn't show up and the remaining two times, Marco didn't show up, it was obvious they both weren't ready to get married to each other.

"I think I'll meet him tomorrow or more often because I'd begin working at Maxs tomorrow" she slapped her forehead with her palm, how much she didn't want to see him.

"that's good news girl" she looked up and Will was smiling at her. At this point, Will looked happy about the whole stuff and it was really pissing her off but she could do nothing, she was already used to him pissing her off.
