MARRIED TO MR POPULAR BILLIONAIRE

NEW YORK, CITY

The car's door opened and she came out. She removed her sunglasses and smiled.

"Home sweet home.."

Miley brought out her phone and began working on it as she walked away closely followed by her personal assistant.

She looked up and then removed her jacket. She handed it over to her.

"Miley.."

Miley stopped and faced her.

"Are you really sure you want to go in? Are you prepared to face them?" She asked and Miley forced out a smile.

"I've been waiting for this day and maybe mom is waiting for me, Kelly.."

"You know that's impossible. Your mum has always been the.."

"Enough, Kel, let's just go in and hear what they have to say.." Miley said and walked away.

Kelly sighed.

"I wonder why she doesn't accept the fact that her mum never cares her. She is bound to get heartbroken.."

***

NEW YORK INTERNATIONAL AIRPORT.

"Ryan.."

"My goodness!"

"I could kill for his looks. How can one be so handsome.."

"He's so cute!"

"I love you Ryan!"

"Love his pretty eyes.."

"Please just kiss me Ryan.."

The crowd were going crazy over a celebrity who just arrived. Well, He is Ryan Winthrop. The nation's sweetheart. He's an-American - Korean singer based in the states. He just rounded up his tour in Europe and he is back home already.

The fans kept going crazy, trying to touch him but they couldn't ,since he was well protected by his bouncers and bodyguards. Meanwhile Ryan just kept a straight face with a headset on his head. His mouth kept on moving like he was chewing on a gum.

Suddenly like he regained himself, he smiled and waved his hands and the crowd went wild again, yelling and cheering for him.

**

Ryan sighed as he entered the car.

"That was tiring.." He mumbled.

"Nah, it was entertaining. Watching the crowd go crazy for you. You are really lucky.." His friend Dave said and Ryan glared at him.

He grabbed a bottled water and then opened it. He gulped down some and faced him as he closed it.

"Did the old guy ask for me?" He asked throwing the bottle water at him. Dave smiled and caught it.

"You know he would. He's your father anyway.." He said and poked Ryan's cheek.

"Stop it!" Ryan scoffed and threw his hands off.

"You know your wedding is approaching quite soon.."

Ryan scoffed again.

"Do you seriously want to ruin my mood by that?" He rolled his eyes.

"I hate that old guy. If I could kill him, i would have done so, just that I love my Angel that's why.." Ryan said.

"Angel, indeed. Ryan, I would prefer you go against your father's decision and not get married to the lady. First of all, I know you clearly. You will surely make life a living hell for her and secondly, your fans. What are they going to do?" Dave asked.

"That's the least I care about now. I already promised her.." Ryan muttered coldly.

"But.."

"Let's go and see my pretty angel, I miss her already.."

**

Miley got into house and she hugged her mum tightly but her mum didn't reciprocate it. Miley smiled sadly and broke the hug. She was used to it anyways. She smiled and hugged her Dad and the same thing happened. She sighed and moved backwards.

"Sit.." Her dad's cold voice said and she smiled and sat down.

"How are you doing?" Justin's cold voice said.

"I'm, I'm fine Dad.." She smiled. Justin nodded and then smiled. Miley looked over to her mum expecting to ask also but her mum looked away. Miley sighed and fiddled with her fingers.

'Enough of the silence! Hun, I'll just go to the main point..' Laura said looking directly into her daughter's eyes.

"Laura, we have to.."

"It's no need Justin. I'm sure she will understand why we took this decision.."

Miley furrowed her brows.

"What decision?" She thought.

"Mum, what are you talking about?" Miley asked.

"The thing is we asked you to come back from Egypt because you are getting married soon!" Laura announced and Miley's eyes widened immediately.

She sprang up on her feet at once.

"What?!" She half yelled.

Laura sighed and stood up. She walked to her daughter and held her shoulders.

"Miley, it's for your sake. This is partnership between us and the Winthrop family. And actually you have been betrothed to him ever since you clocked twelve.." Laura said and Miley's eyes widened the more. Tears rushed down her eyes and she immediately pushed her mum back.

"Why?!" She yelled.

"Why? Why Mum?!"

"Do you even love me at all? Why is that you behave coldly to me and not to Whitney. I have a younger sister too. But you showered her with lots of care. But me, you used me like I'm a pawn. Mum, I know you didn't want to have me. My dad abandoned you when you just gave birth to me, I understand that but do you really have to do this? Do you really have to ruin my life?!" She yelled angrily as more tears dropped from her eyes.

"I loved you. I loved both you and your husband. But what did you give me in return? Nothing but hatred!" She yelled.

"I also gave you the life you have now. Being a famous model, or no, the top model in this country. Do you really think you can get it free like nothing.."

"What?" Miley whispered.

"Mum, you isolated me. You took me to Egypt for a year now. Is that.."

"Yet, your popularity never dropped. You still get more works to do. Do you really think it's all for free, huh? I gave birth to you for free, I gave you a good life and good business. At least repay me for your dad leaving me! He couldn't stand you! He doesn't want you! No one ever wants you!" Laura yelled. Tears ran out Miley's eyes the more. It was just like her mum reopened the wound in her heart.

"Laura! Stop it!" Justin yelled and Laura scoffed.

"You've always been stopping me but not today.. Miley, I and your step father over here took care of you when your useless father ran off. And instead of you to be grateful to us, you are angry instead. Tell me what else can you do apart from this to show your gratitude.."

"Mum, I helped the company. I took the company to where it is today. I only left four years ago because that's not what I want to do.."

"Oh yeah! Modelling, singing.."

Laura grabbed her shoulders roughly and looked into her eyes.

"If you really want to repay this precious debt you owe me, do this and be free from me. Then I can love you like a mother.." Laura said caressing her hair but Miley pushed her off.

"I hate you mum!" Miley cried and then ran out.

Laura sighed and fell on the couch.

"That's was too harsh, Laura.." Justin said.

Laura said nothing but kept staring into the empty space.

GRAVEYARD.

Ryan stood in front of the well sculpted and decorated tomb, holding a bunch of flower.

A name was written on it.

"MALTIDA WINTHROP"

Ryan clenched his fists sadly and then dropped the flower on the tomb.

"My Angel, I miss you so much. It's been seven years now, since you left me and I've not been able to find anyone like you. I really miss you.." His eyes were already red. Dave sighed and patted his right shoulder.

He knew he wouldn't cry no matter how hurt he was feeling. He always hide his emotions well at least not to him.

"I'm getting married soon. I promised you.." He uttered.

"I'm not going back on my words.." He said and then bowed slightly before walking away.

As he got to his car. His phone rang and he groaned when he saw that it was his dad calling. Frustratedly, he answered the call.

"What do you want?"

"You are back home already, why not come home and.."

"I'm not available. I'll see you tomorrow.." And with that, he hung up.

"You are still this way. I can't believe you act normal around me..." Dave said. Ryan looked at him.

"Do you want me to be the same way with you?" Ryan asked with a smirk and Dave swallowed hard.

"Of course not, we are best buddies.." Dave said and hung his arm around Ryan's right shoulder but Ryan threw it off.

"Let's go.."

"Wait, are you not going to see the pictures of your beloved bride to be, I heard she's a model and very ho.."

"I'm not interested.." Ryan cut him off calmly.

"I don't give a damn about anyone.." Ryan muttered coldly. He opened the car's door and entered it.

Dave sighed.

"He's clearly still hurt.." Dave said.

*****

Miley walked out of the bathroom in her bathrobe, her wet long black hair fell carelessly on her back, almost reaching her buttocks. Her bangs were messy and it stuck on a part of her face.

She looked at the mirror and her mum's words kept hitting her.

"I also gave you the life you have now"

"Being a famous model, or no, the top model in this country. Do you really think you can get it free like nothing.."

Miley folded her first tightly and the sad look on her face was replaced to a cold one.

Her lips twitched.

"Well, I'll make sure to repay you mum, I'll pay my debt to you even if it means paying back with my life. I never want to get indebted to you ever.." She said and then took a scissors. She held a part of her bangs and she cut it off.

"I'll be the total opposite of what you expected.."

She dropped the scissor and then took her phone. She then placed a call to someone.

**

Kelly sighed for the umpteenth time. She looked at her wristwatch. They were already running late.

Suddenly she heard the sounds of heels clicking and she heaved a sigh of relief.

Miley came into view and Kelly gasped.

"What?!"

Miley smirked. She was putting on a blue trouser gown. Her long hair that fell on her buttocks was now on her back. Her bangs were no where to be found. And lastly, her hair was dyed blonde. She was even wearing heavy red lipstick, giving the looks of a villain in a movie.

"Wow.." Kelly smiled and Miley walked towards her.

"How do I look?" She winked.

"Hot, stunning. You look more baddass than your innocent looks earlier. You look more of a bad villain.." Kelly laughed and Miley smirked.

"That's what I want.." She said and then grabbed her red bag.

"But I thought your bang was your signature?" Kelly smiled and Miley rolled her eyes.

"Nope, not anymore.."

"I don't want to be the Miley you all knew before.." She mumbled.

"Let's go.." She said.

"Where? The shoot?" Kelly asked.

"Nope. Not today. Ask them to postpone the shoot. I've a present for mum.." She said and then walked out.

"What's with her?" Kelly wondered and then shrugged.

**

Miley got down from the car. She stared at the mansion for a sec and she folded her fists angrily. Closing her eyes, she took a deep breath and then she opened them and walked in.

Laura was seating on the chair with a bowl of popcorn, giggling. Her eyes were fixated on the television. Miley paused watching her smile.

"Hey mum.." She suddenly said and Laura took her face to her. Immediately a low gasp left her lips seeing her.

"Mi..Miley.." She called and Miley smiled.

"Mum, why are you surprised?" She asked with a sly smile and then moved closer to her. She touched the collar of the chiffon shirt she was wearing.

"I look quite different from the Miley you knew earlier right?" Miley asked staring into her eyes and Laura didn't know why but she felt fear seep into her.

Her eyes! Those eyes! She could swear that they were different. Her daughter was more like glaring at her. Something her innocent Miley wouldn't do. She always had love for her in those eyes regardless of the way she treats her but not now, she has a different look now.

"Mum, aren't you wondering why I'm here?" Miley asked and then her hands to her mum's hair, caressing it gently. Laura immediately flinched when she did that.

"W..I mean why?" She tried to fake a hard voice.

"Mum, I realised what you did was the best for me so I accept your proposal. I'm going to get married to the person you want.." Miley said and Laura's eyes widened.

"What?!" She sounded shocked.

"Why? Isn't that what you wanted. Infact you said the wedding will take place in a week's time. You have been planning this since I was a teen right, I'm ready. I'm ready to get married.." She smiled and then moved backwards.

"Bye. Mum. Call me when everything's ready.." She winked at Laura and walked away leaving her more shocked.

"What's that?' She asked and fell to the couch. She should be happy right now but no, she wasn't, it was suspicious. Miley just accepting it was very suspicious.

"Should I change plans then and get her younger sister married to Ryan instead of her, it would benefit us too.." Laura thought but then she immediately decided against it.

She wouldn't risk Whitney's happiness, not in anyway. But then, it was still a good thing. It would help the company which was in a financial crisis now.

Laura smirked and brought out her phone. She called someone and the person picked up the call almost immediately.

"Yes Laura.."

"My daughter is ready. Is your son ready?' Laura asked and the person chuckled.

'Of course. He has always been..."

"Good, we have to hasten the wedding process since the wedding will take place next week. Tomorrow, they both will meet and then the next day is their engagement.."

"But don't you think we are rushing this?" Laura asked.

"No, we planned all these since, right and since they agreed. What's the use waiting?"

"Fine then, I'll begin the arrangement..' Laura said and hung up.

"Miley, I don't trust you.." She said and then sighed.

"I have to call Whitney.." She smiled and took her phone again.

**

"Are you serious? You are getting married?" Kelly yelled at Miley who was busy applying lipstick on her lips.

"Yeah, so what?" Miley shrugged.

"What?! Do you even know who you are getting married to?" She asked and Miley faced her with a smug smile playing across her lips.

"Don't worry baby, I gat this.." She winked at him and continued applying the lipstick.

"What's with her?' Kelly asked no one in particular.

"Okay, I have an idea.." Miley suddenly said and Kelly looked ar her.

'Let's go clubbing today.." Miley squealed and Kelly's eyes widened.

"What? But you hate clubbing a lot? You are acting weird.." Kelly said.

"Nah, baby, I have to enjoy the last few days of mine as a single lady, so what do you say?"

"Whatever you want. .." Kelly said.

**

9PM

ROYAL PALACE CITY CLUB**

"Dave, why are we here?" Ryan asked adjusting his face cap.

"I know you were pissed after your little argument with your dad. So coming here could calm your nerves.." Dave said and Ryan scoffed.

"That's pathetic of you! You really brought me here thinking this will calm me down, you risked my identity. What if my crazy fans finds me here? Anyways, since we are here, let's go in.." Ryan said and Dave sighed.

"You are so hard to please.." He mumbled and Ryan hit him lightly on the head.

"Let's go in.." He said .

They got to the bar and after settling some things, they were ushered to the VIP'S section. As soon as they got there, "Feelings" by Ryan was playing.

Ryan's eyes scanned the entire place before he settled on his seat.

"But I still don't understand why you brought me here?" He muttered in a low tone and Dave sighed.

"Can you quit complaining for once?" He says and Ryan rolled his eyes. A waiter walked up to them.

"Your orders, please?"

Ryan scoffed and brought out his airpod. He inserted one of it into his right ear.

"I want nothing.." He said coldly and Dave sighed.

"Just get me a bottle of whiskey and him, a glass of chilled orange juice.." He said and Ryan scoffed. The waiter bowed slightly and walked away.

"Seriously, why would I come to the bar if I just wanted a glass of orange juice, I could have done that at home.."

"That's because you are confused.." He said and just then, Ryan's eyes went to a woman dancing crazily. Her hair was scattered all over her face and she struggled trying to remove them from her face. The way she struggled to remove it from her face was very funny and he cracked.

Dave's eyes widened.

"Did you just chuckle? Is something funny? I would love to see? It's been long since I last seen you smile genuinely and now.."

"You talk just like dad.." Ryan scolded him.

The waiter brought their orders and Ryan took his juice and then took a sip out of it, his eyes moved to the direction of the lady again and he saw her dancing crazily and this time around, her friend was trying to control her. But even if she was drunk, she was still a good dancer. Her movements were smooth and sharp.

"I'm feeling you like it's nothing.." She yelled along the song playing.

"Woohoo! Woohoo! I'm so free. I can fly like a bird!" She yelled while Ryan just stared at her.

**

"Hey, Miley, calm down, people are watching. Stop embarrassing me.." Kelly said and Miley scoffed. It was obvious she was totally drunk.

"I'm about to fly, I want to fly!" She yelled and Kelly placed her palm on her mouth trying to calm her down.

"Let's go home. .." Kelly said and placed one of he arm on her shoulder, she tried moving but they both fell on the couch.

"I'm living this feeling, yeah like I should.." She sang along with the song.

"Gosh! Miley, you're a goner when you are drunk. You act like you are not a celebrity. I'll have to call the driver to help us out.." Kelly said and walked out. Immediately she did, Miley stood up with her bag, she blinked her eyes as she staggered.

Ryan's eyes were still fixated on her and for some odd reason, he felt like going to assist her but then, he wouldn't blow his cover.

"Mmmh, Mmmh.." Miley sang as she staggered. She lost her balance and was about falling when a hand grabbed her waist preventing her from falling.

Miley's eyes widened.

"You pervert.." She mumbled and pushed him off.

"Hey, wait, miss. You are drunk.." Ryan said and she scoffed.

"Do I look.." She couldn't complete her statement because she felt like puking. She scoffed again and tried leaving but Ryan grabbed her arm, preventing her from leaving..

"I...."

"Let me .." She couldn't complete her statement when she felt everything rushing out from her throat. She looked down and smiled.

"Sorry.." She mumbled and Ryan's eyes widened. She pucked on his shoes and a part of his trousers..

"What, I.." He was about talking when all of a sudden, she lost her balance again and she went down, pushing him along with her as she did. She fell directly on top of him and their lips met. Ryan's eyes widened the more.

THE NEXT DAY

Miley moaned as she rubbed her eyes with her fingers.

'I'm so tired and I have a big headache.." She groaned and sat up.

"Gosh!" She groaned again when she remembered that it was today she had to meet with that fiance of hers.

The door suddenly swung open and Kelly rushed in still in her nightgown.

"Hey bae.." She called but Kelly immediately threw the phone to her immediately.

"Hey, what happened? Why are you acting this way?" She asked.

"Check it out yourself.." Kelly said and she sighed. She took the phone and within a sec, her eyes widened.

"What?!" She yelled and that was then the memories started pouring in.

"FAMOUS MODEL MILEY CRYUS WAS SEEN EXTREMELY DRUNK IN A BAR AND IN THE PROCESS OF HER BEING DRUNK, SHE PUCKED ON THE NATIONAL STAR "SINGER RYAN WINTHROP! WORSE! SHE EVEN KISSED HIM! Here are the photos below.."

"What's this? This are ridiculous headlines!"

"DISPATCH NEWS; CONFIRMED! MODEL MILEY AND NATIONAL STAR ARE DATING!

"Kelly, What's this? I mean I was drunk yesternight! I didn't even mean to kiss him and here are some ridiculous headlines about it.." Miley said.

"That's not the problem here. I have been getting calls from all the companies you are supposed you are working with and they threatened to withdraw the endorsement if you don't clear the issue within the next twenty four hours.." Kelly said and Miley groaned. She ran her hands into her hair.

Her eyes moved to the clock and she gasped. It was already 12pm and she is to meet with her so called fiancee by 1PM.

"Gosh, Kel, I'm late already. I'll catch you later.." Miley said and then she rushed into the bathroom.

THIRTY MINUTES LATER

Miley hurriedly wore her earrings and applied a pink lipstick on her lips. She didn't bother to apply makeup. She packed her hair into a bun, grabbed her bag and then ran out.

She got into her car and immediately hopped into it, then she drove off.

"Gosh, why am I late? My plan will get ruined. I have to do everything to get in my in - laws good books cause they are the key to success of my mission.." She said with a smirk and she sped off.

CRYUS'S MANSION.

Laura came downstairs, dressed beautifully. Her husband was beside her and they smiled as they walked downstairs.

"Welcome Xander.." Laura said and a handsome middle aged man stood up smiling.

"It's my pleasure.." He said and they smiled.

"Meet my sis, Aileen.." He introduced a beautiful lady in her early forties.

"Hello.." She greeted and they all smiled.

"So where's Ryan?" Laura asked.

"Oh! That boy! He's stuck on something but he's already on his way.." Xander said.

"And your daughter?" Xander asked.

"Yes, she's been busy but she's on her way soon.." Laura said, praying inwardly that Miley comes.

"Actually, there's something interesting going on about the kids on social media, it's about.." The door bell rang and the maids went to get in. Ryan walked in dressed in all white. He was looking handsome and hot and as usual, he wore the cold look on his face.

"Welcome.." Laura gushed. She stood up and ran to embrace him but he stopped her by placing his hand on her shoulder.

"It's only person that gets to hug me and she's dead, I'll appreciate it if you don't try it again.." He whispered to her and Laura's heart skipped.

She faked a smile and touched his shoulder.

"How was your journey?" She asked and he removed her hand from his shoulder.

He didn't answer. His eyes went to an empty seat which was a bit far from them and he sat there.

"Where is she?" He asked.

"Oh Miley. She's.."

"I'm here.." The feminine voice was heard and everyone turned to her. Ryan's eyes widened when he saw her.

Miley's smile faded when she saw him.

"What's happening?" She thought.

Ryan stood up immediately.

"You!" They both chorused.
