Chapter 4 Contract marriage

Ojo's POV

After all the meetings and deliberation with my lawyer the previous day, I walked into my office ready to tell my private investigator to look for the waitress for me, so I could make my proposition known but she was already waiting for me in the lobby dressed like a slut.

She was obviously a gold digger. I snapped my fingers in her direction to get her to follow me to my office. An older looking woman dressed in even sluttier clothes, jumped to her feet to follow my instructions. Looks like that was her mother.

I was not surprised. I waited at the elevator for the waitress to catch up with me, watching as she struggled to walk in the heels and pulling down the hem of her dress with every step.

Her mother grabbed her upper arm and squeezed it so hard that I could see blood leave that area.

I stepped forward unconsciously and glared at the mother, causing her to let go of Morenike's arm and smile up at me.

"Who's smiling with you? Does this look like a circus to you? Who even are you?"

She giggled and said, "oh silly me. I'm Stella, Nike's step mother"

Oh it's the step mother.

"Well I don't remember asking you to join us in the office now, did I?"

I pulled Morenike into the elevator with me and my lawyer. She huddled so far away from me at the back of the elevator and she constantly dragged down the hem of that tiny dress.

It got on my nerves," if you knew you won't be comfortable why did you wear the stupid dress?" I barked at her, making her retreat even further away from me.

Was she scared of me? It sounds good. Means she can be scared into accepting my proposition.

We walked out of the elevator and she almost rolled her ankle with her clumsiness while on her heels. She bent down, giving me a glimpse of her slim waist and round behind. At least I wouldn't be bored when I get married to her. She took off both heels and walked barefoot to my office.

I walked to my desk and dropped into the chair, picking up the coffee that was already made for me. My lawyer stood on the other end of the office sorting out the documents.

"Since you're a waitress I guess you can make a good cup of coffee, yes?"

"y-yes sir. I can"

"Good. Go over to that table and make a cup of coffee for me and be fast about it I don't have all day." I told her, causing her to pick up speed as she walked to the table.

My lawyer looked at me disapprovingly at how I spoke to her but I just rolled my eyes at him.

She dropped the coffee beside my elbows and it looked like it was made by a professional. It even had those whimsical leaves on it too. She had a second cup in her hands, "who do you think you are too drink my coffee? Does this look like your father's house?" At my comment she stiffened and I noticed she was on her way to give my friend the cup. I should have been sorry for what I said but I didn't care about her feelings.

"Now let's get straight to business. To avoid any scandal for my company, I have decided we are to be married."

Her jaw popped open making lewd thoughts pass through my head. But I continued saying "We will portray the most loving couple on earth when we're in public and you will follow me to events and act as a doting wife for a year. When everything has died down I will divorce you and leave you with a sum of money, to continue your life or whatever. Here's a list of things you're entitled to as my wife. Read through it and add what you want."

I had the list personally written because I didn't want anything left out. It included;

Brand new car with driver (I must know where you are at all times)

New and up to date wardrobe (you are going to be a second image of this company)

Completion of degree started (my wife must be perceived as smart and of high caliber)

Monthly allowance (I don't want to be bothered about you needing funds for one thing or the other)

A personal room (our life behind close doors must not merge)

Brand new phone and laptop(I must be able to reach you at all times of the day)

Job in the company if she finishes the degree early enough.

"Anything you want to add?" I asked her after she put down the document.

"No sir."

"Good. Now for the rules. You must remain faithful for the duration of our marriage. No kids, so get your doctor to give you birth control pills. You also need to do a check up so I can make sure I'm not harboring any std filled whore in my house. Stay out of my room. Do not fall in love with me. If you do, that is solely your business because I will not be returning those emotions. Now sign th-"

" Wait, I have something to add sir."

"Did you just interrupt me while I was speaking? You will only speak when I address you. Do you get me?" I grabbed her arm, making her flinch in fear.

"Now speak."

"s-sir will you also remain faithful? I-it's only fair s-so that you don't ruin it on your end. Am I also permitted to go out? I have a job sir."

"No wife of mine will work so quit. And yes I will remain faithful to maintain our life. Now sign these documents and I will get a wedding planner so we can get married by next month."

She shyly looked at me and I asked her to say what was on her mind.

"Is it not better to be seen maybe once or twice together, so that if we get married it won't look too suspicious?"

"She has a point Ojo. You guys can't just fight one day and in a month's time you get married, people will be suspicious" Adamu, my lawyer said.

"Fine. I'll plan something and pick you up" I said, dreading this whole idea already.
