Chapter 4 DEAL(I)

You!" They both chorused. Ryan ran his hands into his hair frustratedly and Miley bit her lower lip looking downwards.

"I'm in for it!" She screamed inwardly.

"He's the one I'm getting married to! Gawd!"

"Is there something wrong?" Xander asked. Ryan immediately walked to Miley. He grabbed her hand firmly and dragged her outside surprising everyone.

"What's going on? Do they know each other before?" Xander asked Laura.

"I don't know, I.."

'I think it's about this. This is what i wanted to show you all.." Aileen said and gave her phone to Xander. Immediately they saw it, their eyes widened and their jaws dropped.

"What?!"

***

"Ouch! Let me go.."

"You are hurting me.." Miley said and fred her wrist from Ryan.

Ryan sighed and ran his hands into his dark hair.

He looked at her coldly and dropped his hands.

He started coming closer to her while out of impulse, she moved backwards.

"W..What are you doing?" She asked and he grabbed her by the shoulders, roughly.

"Don't tell me you planned all of that at the club?" He asked and she scoffed.

"What are you saying?"

"It was all a facade right? Being drunk, puking on me and then falling on him in order to kiss me!" He said coldly and Miley scoffed again.

"Are you serious?" She asked and pushed him backwards.

"What's so special in you that I'll have to go through all that just to kiss your lips. Hey, I'm not that kind of girl. Yeah, you are popular, handsome and a great singer but that doesn't mean you own the world. I like your songs but that doesn't mean, I'm like your crazy fans who will do anything to be with you. And moreover, you are not my type. I hate guys like you and about the marriage whatever, I had no idea you are my soon to be husband, so just get lost.." Miley said and walked away leaving Ryan in utter shock.

'What.. What was that? Did she just speak rudely to me?" He asked himself and just then his phone rang. He smiled darkly when he saw who was calling. Without hesitating, he answered the call.

"What?"

"Ryan, don't be stubborn.." The thick voice came and Ryan sighed.

"I'm going to come back whenever it pleases me and right now, I have no intentions of returning.."

The man chuckled while Ryan furrowed his brows.

"You are still the boss. We would be at a loss without you..' The thick voice added.

"Well that's none of my business. Take care of the clan till I return.." Ryan said.

"The investigation about your m.."

"Just shut up! And don't call me again until I call you..." He ordered.

"But.."

" You know what I'm capable of. Ignatius , I don't need to remind you..." He paused.

He sighed and then bit his lower lip.

"I swear I'm not interested in this damn marriage, I just have to do it. I promised Angel already.."

And with that, he walked in.

SAME DAY

☆☆☆☆

3PM

Ryan closed his eyes as he punched the punching bag aggressively. His singlet was already drenched in sweats, even his face was not left out, his hair fell on a part of his eyes giving him that sexy look. His gaze hardened as he punched the punching bag. All of a sudden, he stopped and then took a bottled water, he opened it and gulped down some. Then he closed it and then placed it on the table nearby. He removed his singlet revealing his sexy and well toned abs,then grabbed a towel, wiping his face and body.

All of a sudden, he heard some voices. He furrowed his brows and continued what he was doing until the door opened and someone barged in.

"I said leave me, I want to talk to your boss.." A feminine voice was heard.

"But.." The guards said.

"Leave her.." Came Ryan's voice.

Since Ryan wasn't facing the direction of the door, he scoffed and turned back.

"What.." He paused when he saw her. Miley was still frozen to the spot, her eyes trailed down from his handsome face down to his sexy abs and she gulped hard.

"What am I doing? I should strike the deal.." She thought and bit her lower lip.

'What are you doing here, Miss Cryus?" Ryan's voice jolted her out of her thoughts.

"Huh?" She faced him and quickly faked a smile.

"Actually, we are supposed to have a press meeting today by 4PM. I hope you've not forgotten?' Miley asked.

"Are you seriously here to ask me that?" Ryan smirked as he wore his t - shirt.

"Hm, no. Actually it's a private matter.." She said and Ryan nodded, he opened the bottle water and started drinking from it. Miley almost lost herself for a minute.

"The guy is damn handsome, I must have been crazy not to notice it.." She thought.

"Are you here to waste my time, Miss Cryus?" Ryan asked and then Miley sighed. She opened her bag and brought out a file, then she gave it to Ryan who had a crossed look on his face but he collected it anyways.

"What's this?" He asked and she smirked.

"A deal that states once it's a year after our marriage, we are going to end it.." Miley said and Ryan smirked and sat on the couch not so far from him.
