Chapter 3 The Game Begins

Kate slammed her door angrily, because of Vivian said attitude she couldn't find out what they talked about, this was getting on her nerves, Nicholas said her wanted to meet her again, Kate became even more furious, that bitch must have sedused him, she thought.

But it doesn't matter anyway she would get what she wants like she always does, Vivian was just a lowlife beside her, Nicholas won't pick Vivian over her, even if he does, his mother won't allow it.

"Yes his mother!", Kate exclaimed happily, Nicholas mother was a very popular woman and every young woman looks up to her, luckily for Kate, Mrs. Elena Keaton is fond of her and would like it if she's her daughter-in-law, she can't wait to tell her mother so they can agree upon a date to meet Elena, Vivian won't see this coming. Kate screeched and went to shower.

Down the hallway an argument was heard from a room, Evelyn was having an argument with James, who was devastated that he just lost a potential business partner, "Kate should be with Nicholas not that useless daughter of yours", Evelyn said yelling at James.

"You were the one who suggested to invite her to the party, so don't blame me for what she did, I Lost something important because of your childish act, teach your daughter some manners", James said and stormed off.

Evelyn body shook with anger, she hated it when James acts almighty and yells at her, fanning her self with her left hand to calm her self down, she has come this far for her self and Kate , she won't let one brat spoil everything for her, she would get Kate married to Nicholas at all cost. Even if it means to get her hands dirty, she picked up her phone to contact Elena.

Vivian shivered as the cold breeze slapped her at the bus station, she has been sitting there for about an hour now and the bus has not arrived, no taxi has passed either.

She shouldn't have gone for the anniversary, it just spoilt her day, but she met Nicholas. "He's Rich and popular ", she thought, not the type of am she thought she would marry. "Not yet", her instinct told her, Vivian groaned, she didn't know what came over her to make that proposal, but she won't give up now, this was her only hope to get back at those scoundrels. Vivian sighed slumped on the bench, the shivered again when the cold passed her, rubbing her arms with her hands.

Nicholas watched Vivian from his car, she sat there thinking, probably about the contract she proposed, regretting it, her expression giving away, he leaned closer to his window watching her smiling.

Williams watched his boss smiling at something that amused him, he turned too look at the direction of Nicholas gaze, his face filled with horror.

"Was Nicholas happy to see a Young lady who might die if she stays out in the cold any longer?", he thought, he always knew that Nicholas was crazy but this was dangerous.

"should we pick her up, looks like the bus is not coming anytime soon?", Williams asked, Nicholas looked away from Vivian, "Yes", he answered, "I want everything you can find about Vivian as early as tomorrow morning, and prepare a marriage contract, this I between us both if my mother hear of this , you are as good as dead", Nicholas said when Williams started the car.

"Vivian ,was that her name?", Williams thought.

"Get in the car", Nicholas said, startling Vivian who was dozing, "oh that won't be necessary, the bus would arrive soon", Vivian said refusing the offer, Nicholas eyes narrowed, "Don't act all shy and innocent now, get in before you die of cold and we won't be able to get married".

Vivian sighed and entered the car, "thank you", Nicholas nodded, "you have to stop being careless, I won't want my fiancée to die before we even get married". He smirked.

Vivian cheeks burned her ears tingling with heat. "You can drive", now Nicholas said to Williams who's eye brows creased with confusion on what just happened.

Silence filled the car and it made Vivian uncomfortable and self conscious, fiddling with her fingers she calmed her self down, finding the right words to say.

Watching Nicholas elegant figure, his arms crossed, his head resting on the chair with his eyes closed, looking very handsome and alluring, she averted her gaze before she would get caught.

"You can drop me off at the next bus station, I will get home from there", she said aloud though it felt like she just whispered, "I thought you wouldn't say anything, you sounded so confident when you proposed the contract that I found it amusing, having second thoughts now?".

Nicholas asked his eyes filled with amusement, with a smile on his lips he watched as Vivian fiddled with her fingers, "cute", he thought.

"No am not changing my mind now, I've gone to far to do that", Vivian replied, "good cos if you did I won't let you", Nicholas said.

"What contract?, whose fiancée?", Williams wondered.

"why did you stop?", Nicholas asked Williams, "the lady said she would get home from here", Williams replied, "yes...", Vivian started, getting ready to pack her things.

"That won't be necessary, keep driving, we still have a lot of things to talk about", Nicholas interrupted Vivian, her eyebrows raised in question, "talk about what?" she asked.

"About our marriage off course, and the contract conditions too", Nicholas replied.
