Chapter 5 Tomorrow Is a Story

Armstrong and Stella after talking for long and agreeing on their stand as to whether they would be having a romantic affair or not, finally came to terms. Stella agreed to follow him to his home, where she and her daughter, Janeth would be staying for the meantime. She began to like Armstrong, but hasn't really agreed on marrying him. proposed to be in a contract marriage with her, for just a year. According to him, he would be paying her the sum of two million dollars, after the one year contract marriage. But based on this, she was still neutral.

Meanwhile, both she and her daughter, Janeth, were seen being driven in a bullet proof car by Armstrong. That midnight, they were all going to his house, where he wished to house them, until things became stable with them.

They finally arrived at his house, and were shocked. His house was not just a house, but a mansion. It was one of the biggest mansions that can be found in NewYork.

Armstrong took them to a big room, and ushered them to have a lovely sleep.

''Goodnight''Armstrong said to Stella. He immediately kissed her, not wanting Janeth to see that they were kissing.Although, Janeth was still cruising in sleep, while opening her eyes, trying to understand what was going on between her mother and the young man he was seeing.

The next day, everyone woke up. It was now clear to Janeth that her mother was living in the house of a potential lover. Nothing makes her happy the more, than seeing her mother being happy and living her life.

Stella, on the other hand, could see the true colors of the mansion that she and her daughter were brought into. She couldn't believe her eyes.

Few days later, she began to easily flow along with Gideon's vibes. They constantly went on a date along with Janeth, her little daughter. Gideon was doing everything possible that would make her happy and comfortable. Ever since he has been following different women, none of them had the kind of cultural attitude towards life that was seen in Stella. He was truly in love with her, but he will start first from somewhere.

One night, he called her to the sitting room.

''Marry me. I will make you the kind of woman you have always wanted to be. Don't take my words for granted, because I am serious about it''He said.

Stella knew that he was serious, but she was just imagining how her life was having some kind of shape that she can't really understand. For example, she just left a marriage of five years old, and met one who wanted to have her in again in another marriage.

''What exactly do you want?. Don't forget that I was once a married woman''Stella said.

''Are you currently a married woman?''Armstrong asked.

''No, I am not''She responded.

''I want to get married to you. I want it to be based on a legal contract''Armstrong informed.

''Proceed with your words''Stella said.

''I shall be paying you the sum of two million dollars after the one year contract marriage. But the major reason why I am making it a contract marriage, is to make you the head of one of my important companies''Armstrong highlighted.

''What about the company?''Asked Stella.

''There are many things going wrong in there. Billions of dollars have been stolen by some people whom I and my team can't really track and monitor''He said.

''And you think I can track them for you?''She asked.

''I will tell you what to do when you get to that position''Armstrong said.

Stella took a break, thinking of his words. At this point, she knew that the mission he was trying to send her to, will be a very hard and terrible one.

''So in essence, you want to use me to get at some individuals right?''She asked.

''Yes. I believe you will be able to do it''He said.

''Meanwhile before we get into the contract marriage, I will be giving you five hundred thousand dollars, as part of the total money that you will be receiving after your signature has been penned on the document''He added.

Few days later, the both of them got married under a one year contract. Their marriage ceremony was not made public because of some reasons best known to Armstrong.

''I will be expecting some visitors today, my dear''Armstrong informed his new wife, some days after their marriage.

''Who could they be my love?''She asked.

''It's some important management persons of one of my companies. They will be coming to dine with us today for lunch''He said.

Stella finally made every necessary preparations expecting Armstrong's guests. She cooked meals, and prepared drinks that edified the powerful and wealthy personality of her husband, Armstrong.

Moments later, the mansion's gate began to usher in a different variety of cars. The kind of cars that Stella was seeing, speaks well of the guests' prowess that were coming.

Different people started to come out from the car. Stella then closed the window where she was stirring at them from, in order to put on good clothes before coming out to attend to the guests.

''I will use this opportunity to introduce you as my lovely wife, to them, and will also tell them that starting from next Monday, they should be expecting a new manager in the multi billion dollar company''Armstrong told Stella. She agreed. Meanwhile, she has already received the sum of five hundred thousand dollars before now, from him, as part of their deal. So this simply means that she is a wealthy lady. She would be using all the money she got from this mission, to build and beautify her life, and also to maintain her only child, Janeth.

Armstrong was now in a serious meeting with the fleets of guests that came to him and after they were done discussing, he called Stella his wife to come and dish out meals for them.

As Stella arrived at the venue, she was shocked, as her eyes met with that of Gideon, her ex-husband.
