Chapter 2 Two

Contract Marriage with Lucifer

Young Codex

Chapter Two

Jenny's grip on her phone tightened.

Leo Smith.

His name alone sent a rush of goosebumps all over her body.

"What the hell do you want?" she snapped, her voice sharper than she intended.

For a moment, there was silence.

Then, his voice soothing, arrogant, unbothered.

"To make you an offer you can't refuse."

Her stomach twisted. She didn't trust him. Not after what he'd pulled at the bar earlier on. Not after he made her boss get her fired because he thinks he's wealthy.

"If this is your sick way of rubbing salt in the wound..." Jenny barely said before she was interrupted...

"It's business, sweetheart." He cut her off, voice like liquid steel.

"And from the look of things, seems like you just got fired all.thanks to me but what am about to offer you is life changing" Leo Said

"And Oh, did I forget to mention? I had your sick mum needs surgery!"

Jenny's heart slammed against her ribs.

How the hell did he know that?

"Excuse me?" she snapped.

"And how much is the cost for the surgery again?" Leo asked

Jenny's blood ran ice-cold.

"How did he know all this shits," Jenny asked herself as looked around to see if he hung around.

"You're stalking me now?"

"Hardly." He sounded almost bored, as if her entire life crisis was just another business transaction. "I make it my job to know useful information. And right now, Jennifer Andrews, you are very useful to me."

Her fingers curled into a fist. "Go to hell, Leo."

She moved to hang up, but his next words froze her in place.

"Marry me."

Jenny stared at the phone, her brain short-circuiting.

"What?" she breathed.

"Marry me," he repeated, voice calm, deadly serious. "In exchange, I'll pay for your mother's surgery. Every last dime."

Jennifer stomach dropped.

This had to be a joke. A sick, twisted rich-man joke.

"You think this is funny?" she whispered.

"I don't joke about money."

Her pulse pounded.

Of all the insane, ridiculous, completely insulting things-

"You're out of your damn mind."

Leo chuckled, like he'd expected that reaction. "Maybe. But I'm also your best option."

Jenny shot up from the hospital chair, pacing furiously. "You're insane if you think I would ever marry you."

"Well, sweetheart, you might want to start reconsidering."

His voice was so damn smug, so infuriatingly confident, that she wanted to throw her phone across the room.

But she didn't.

Because deep down, beneath all the rage, all the disgust, one horrifying truth gripped her... This might be the only opportunity to save her mum's life, she can't afford to loose the only family she had.

He was right.

"Incase you change your mind, Meet me at Leo-Berries Mansion and no need for an address. Literally every driver in towns know there" Leo said and Jenny didn't bother to utter a word.

"Nighty..." Leo said and hung the call.

Jenny heaved heavily.

"How could that jerk as me to marry him?"

"I can't, that's not even possible..."

Jenny was interrupted as she took a glance at her mom lying critically ill on the hospital bed.

The Next Day, Smith's Residence

Jenng sat across from Leo in a private lounge, heart hammering.

This was a mistake. A huge mistake.

The moment she had agreed to meet him, she knew she was playing with fire.

And now, as she sat in front of him, watching as he sipped his whiskey with infuriating ease, wearing that damn smirk.. she realized just how much power he had over her.

"So," Leo leaned forward, watching her carefully, "let's make this quick. You need money. I need a wife. It's simple."

Jenny's hands clenched in her lap.

"Why me?" she demanded. "Out of all the women in the world, why the hell would you pick me?"

Leo chuckled, swirling his glass.

"Because you're desperate, and desperate people don't ask too many questions"

"Go to hell" Jenny said

"You keep saying that," he mused, "but sweetheart, I'm already there."

She exhaled sharply, forcing herself to stay calm. "What do you get out of this?"

Leos eyes darkened, the teasing smirk fading slightly. "My father cut me off."

Jenny blinked. "You mean..."

"No money. No company. No control." He took another sip of whiskey, voice unbothered, but his fingers tightened around the glass. "Unless I get married."

Jenny's stomach twisted.

"So, what? You want a fake wife so Daddy can give you back your toys?"

Leo's smirk returned. "Exactly."

She let out a harsh laugh. "You're unbelievable."

"Flattered."

She shot him a glare. "And what happens after?"

Leo leaned back lazily. "One year. That's the contract length. You'll play the role of my obedient little wife"

"Obedient?" Jenny snapped.

"Poor choice of words?" Leos lips curled.

"Damn right" She said as she clenched her jaw.

Leo chuckled, clearly enjoying this too much. "After a year, we divorce. You walk away with a fully paid medical bill and a generous settlement. No strings attached."

Her head spun.

This was insane. Completely, utterly insane.

But...

Her mother's life was on the line.

She exhaled slowly. "And if I say no?"

Leo didn't blink. "Then I walk away, and you figure out how to come up with half a million dollars in the next two weeks."

Jenny chest tightened.

She had no other options.

Absolutely none.

Her hands shook under the table. "I want a contract."

Leo's smirk widened, like he'd already won.

"Of course."

Jenny swallowed hard, staring at the man in front of her.

Cold

Arrogant

Infuriatingly powerful.

And now, he was about to become her husband.

To be continued...
