"Hey" I turned back to see the girl from the other day smiling at me ....dumbfounded I replied a simple "Hi" forcing a smile . We stared at each other for a long time .
No one said anything.
Really this was the worst meeting . What was she doing here anyway.
Ooh!!! I remember girlfriends always act this way
"If you're here to have a fight , I'm sorry but I'm not interested. I'm not having any affair with your boyfriend. You can leave now " I just blunted out freely wanting to shut the door . Her hand can't in-between the door , then her laughter rosed highest.
"I'm his sister Sophie ...it's ok if you think of him that way . My brother is an asshole "
His sister ?
Gosh I just insulted my crush sister .
How is it possible?
How are they related ?
Sophie is light brown whereas Tyler's white .
"Let me in now "
"Ooh .. so sorry. Did I keep you outside that long ?"
I swiped mode to my real self, opening the door wider for her to inter ...
'WELCOME TO NY SMALL HOUSE '
My inner mind sang "your daughter is in the hospital?"
"Yes she is _ uhm, how do you know ?"
"Tyler told me " of course he will. Then it struck me...how'd he know ?
Big boss , billionaire my foot , they are so full of themselves.
He thinks he could spy on me huh?
"I'll pay you times what he pays you if you be his personal chef "
"An offer ?"
"Yes he needs someone like you "
"Nonsense!" I cursed getting up from my seat ."if he needs me , he should come to me ..you saw the way he yelled at me "
"That's why he's an asshole , trust me ,he needs you "
'And I needed him too '
What in the world was my inner mind saying to me again .
No, I don't need him. My daughter is In The hospital.
I just need to focus on her . Just her ...

Yet Lia hasn't closed an eye . She quit a few days ago and has stopped nonstop to look out for kitty .
Kitty is really lucky to have a mom like Lia .
Lia is and is everything she would ever ask for.
"Babe , you should get some rest now "
I pursued taking her up. But she bluntly refused .
Her puffy eyes were more swollen . She hasn't gotten enough sleep lately .
That was exactly what she needed.

"Here's your phone"
Who could be calling me by this time ?
"Yes?"
"Lia ,it's your boss Tyler "
"My_bo..._"
I couldn't talk any longer . Why was he calling me at this hour?
"Can we meet tomorrow?"
"Uhm...sir I don't think I can "
"I know you're with your baby. Trust me it's a bit urgent please."
He sounded a little sad and serious.
"Are you okay ?"
It took a little time before he spoke . After hearing him say he was ok I wasn't still reassured that he was ok.
Maybe he really wasn't .
Tyler pov
Our call ended with a simple bye .
She was making Me go crazy .
God what was I going to do ?
I needed a wife before Christmas and to Sophie, Lia was the perfect wife .
"Have you two spoken ?"
Sophie asked, standing on my doorway putting in a lingering dress .
She looked seductive but nah she was my sister .
"You need a wife before Christmas"
"Stop telling me that , I'm aware "
Instead of my words frightening her , it made her have the guts to come into my room.
That's Sophie for you .
"Marriage contract. Like what all our cousins do"
"Charles said same thing to me "
"Use her daughter kitty . Look bro you both need each other . She be your fake wife, you give her money for Kitty's treatment"

"She be your fake wife, you give her money for Kitty's treatment"
"Sir" Lia tapped me bringing me back to the whole reality "you want me to be your wife for 365 days ?"
"And I pay for your daughter's treatment." God please I need your help in convincing her
We both need ourselves. Plus I do not want to be the laughing stock of my family.
As the son of the first heir of Kings Enterprise I needed to do this .
Flash back
"Your grandfather said he's going to give Marcus King's Enterprise as an inheritance. If you don't provide a wife . King Enterprise is rightfully yours .... please son a wife , please "
End of flashback
"I need this " I begged "Lia please . I'll give you everything you want just be my wife "
Lia Pov
It felt so real , although it wasn't . He wanted me to be his fake wife?
"Why me ?"
"I don't need a celebrity. Besides, you need help. That's the only way I could think of helping"
He just said it . He wanted to use me . That was the purpose of our meeting today. To make a deal with me .
I stood up picking up my bag "screw you . I'm not like those other girls you just want to use . I know how this works "
"Oh gosh ! I know it'll be hard . Believe me I don't . It sucks to hear that I wanna use you "
I didn't want to listen to his pity words .
That's how they were
I wasn't that cheap .
"Do give me a call when you've made up your mind"
Bang !!!!! I shut the door to his face . Panting harshly.
Williams ......
That name
That monster
The name rang over and over in my ears ..
I can't be used like my sister was
What a long journey 🤤
