Chapter 7 Court (1)

After watching " the penthouse"for some minutes she got really tired and yawned loudly.

" Are you okay"oceane asked with her eyes glued to the TV screen.

" Yeah am fine just tired"she said and stood up heading to her room.

She didn't have a goodnight sleep cause she was thinking about the marriage contract Hillary offered her.

She dropped her bag and phone on the bed before walking to the bathroom to take a cool shower.

After bathing for ten minutes she came out and wore a bum short and big white hoodie before laying on her bed to rest.

She couldn't rest cause she was thinking of how to cope as a wife, like something she wasn't expecting or prepared for, everything just made her head really full that she couldn't even close her eyes for some seconds.

" How on Earth am I to cope as a wife for Christ sake, this is not what I planned for myself. I planned to have a bright future, being a CEO of my own company, having a lovely husband and cute kids"she muttered turning from one end of the bed to another.

" And to make matters worst a billionaire for that crying out loud, the top richest man in all San Francisco"she said ruffling her hair and right now she looked like a witch.

Her hair was scattered all over the bed as she kept rolling from one end of the bed to another like a child throwing trantrum cause of a candy.

" Why did my life ended up like this?"she muttered biting her lower lips.

The fact that she was getting into a contracted marriage the next day was making her go crazy. someone she doesn't know, a complete stranger .

She getting married to a complete stranger. " God!! I would go crazy any moment from now"she said throwing her legs on the air.

" After signing the contract tomorrow, I would start living as his wife and behaving as his wife during occasions but when we're at home we become strangers"she ruffled her hair for the untenth time.

" How am I to cope as a contracted wife? I won't be able to work again, I will remain in the house from morning till night my goodness!! I might run mad or go wild before the six months get completes" she signed and used the pillow to cover her face.

" What if in the process of being his wife I fall in love with him and he don't feel the same towards me, then I will be the one with one-sided love oh my gush!!"

" Cherry you can't and you won't fall in love with Mr Hillary okay, he is above your level and moreover we're two world's apart, we are from different social- econmic status so braze your self and never mention the word love not to talk of falling in love"she shrugged and breath out, before staring at the ceiling.

NEXT DAY

Cherry groaned as her phone kept ringing, she was about ignoring it when she mistakenly saw the caller's ID and it was Hillary, she spranged up immediatly and pick the call.

" Good morning Mr hillary"she bowed as if he was there with her.

" Enough of the greeting come straight to my house and then we will proceed to the court to get the paperwork done"he hanged up as soon as he finished without even hearing from her.

" That cold man"she gritted her teeth and grumpily walked to the bathroom to take a shower.

After thirty more minutes she was done dressing and doing her morning routine. She carried a small hand bag and her phone and walked downstairs.

She met oceane setting the dinning table.

" Good morning oceane"cherry greeted

" Good cherry how was your night"

" Not good at all I was just thinking of how to cope being a house wife to a cold billionaire, oceane I will just die of boredomness" cherry pouted and oceane smiled

" Come here"oceane gestured and cherry walked up to her and hug her why oceane Pat her hair.

Oceane is more like a sister than a friend to cherry cause she has done practically every thing for her. Though ocean is older than cherry with just three years but cherry sees her like an elder sister she didn't have.

" Stop being sad and just have breakfast okay"oceane disengaged from the hug and draw out a chair for her which cherry sat down.

She dished the food and cherry started eating immediately, she didn't have a proper dinner last night cause she lost her appetite to eat cause of the marriage issue.

After some minutes she was done, sh stood up and wipe her lips before giving oceane a peck on her cheeks and walked out of the house.

She boarded a taxi straight to Hillary's house, and she got there in less than ten minutes.

The gate man already knew she was coming so he immediately opened the gate for her and she walked into house.

Hillary was seated in one of the sofa in the sitting room with his leg crossed on the other. He look so breath taking in a sweatpants and hoodie.

She immediately walked in but was totally lost in thought, she opened the door and went into the sitting room.

She never expected Hillary to be in the sitting room, so let's just say he caught her off guard and she almost jumped out of fear.

She held her chest and was breathing really hard cause she was really shocked that it made her heart race faster as if she ran all the way to his house.

He looked up from the book he was reading and saw her holding her chest trying to catch her breath.

" Did I startled you that much for you to be breathing really hard?"his husky voice echoed in the sitting room.

She didn't say anything, she just walked to one of the sofa facing him and sat down quietly.

" We're leaving by 10:00am so get ready"he said and she nodded.

She knew that she was lieing she wasn't prepared at all, she just felt like ground should open and swallow her rather than for her to enter into a contracted marriage, but she was left with no option than to accept the fact that she was going to live under a man's roof and become his legal wife for six months.

" Calm down cherry, it's just for six months okay get yourself together"she said inwardly calming herself .
