MARRIED TO THE BILLIONAIRE DEVIL

"You were out there cheating on me while I was busy trying hard to make our lives better," Candy yelled at her fiancé, Mark, as he drove them home.

"Can you just keep shut, Candy. For Gawd's sake, this is not something new. You wanna tell me you don't cheat, too?" Mark asks, and Candy breathes out in disbelief.

Even after her father's disapproval, Candy sticks with her lover Mark, giving up her dreams and family just to be with him. Only to find him cheating on her in a hotel room where her friend works.

"I would never cheat on you. I can't believe you think cheating on me is normal. After all the things I've done? I gave up almost everything for you, even after my father's death. Is this how you repay me?" Candy's voice croaked as her eyes brimmed with tears.

"I don't wanna hear this bullshit no more. Do you think I'm glad you abandoned your rich family? We keep on struggling because of your decision!"

"I did it because they don't want us together. I did it because I love you, Mark!" Candy's voice croaked.

"That's just a crazy excuse. If it wasn't for your bitch ass friend. I would have been in comfort.. Fuck!" Mark held the stirring wheel hard as he clenched his jaw.

Candy's heart shattered into pieces as she heard the unbelievable words coming out of his mouth.

"Do I really deserve this? Did you forget I'm pregnant for you?" She began to sob.

"You know what, let's break up. You are always the type who complains a lot. When I met you at first, you were a bad ass bitch, and now look at you, you're like an old hag," Mark said cruelly, not giving her a face.

"Don't you think I knew you went to your ex's house last week, huh? And then you lied, you went there for some fucking business," Mark asked, looking at her. "Why are you acting all innocent?! You're an whore..."

At this moment, Mark's words were reaching the peak of Candy's anger.

"You heard me, you're a fucking w..."

Mark couldn't finish his word as Candy screamed and hit his head hard on the steering wheel. The car moved to the other lane. Raising his head, Mark's eyes widened at the upcoming fast truck coming their way.

Candy's heart skipped a beat. Mark tried to dodge the truck, but unfortunately for them, it was too late. The truck hit the car, and it tumbled several times with many of its parts flying out. The car stopped upside down.

____

"Hello, this is 911. What's your emergency?" A voice sounded through the speaker.

"Hello... Help.. I just got into a fatal accident and.. I don't think my husband is breathing anymore.. please.. he..lp..."

Candy's whole body was shivering as her phone dropped to the floor. The seat belt was the only thing holding her. She could feel the intense pain coming from her abdomen; she was bleeding.

Her eyes were on Mark, who wasn't moving at all. The truck had hit his side, taking his life in the process. Did she just kill him? Blood was dripping down her head, and her sight was getting blurry.

She could hear the people murmuring and the sound of sirens outside. The car door was forced open, and the rescuers grabbed her from behind. An oxygen mask was placed on her face as they put her on the stretcher.

Candy saw the men taking Mark out, too, but slowly drifted into darkness.

____

"He died immediately after the accident, ma'am. I'm sorry for the loss of your husband and also the baby," The nurse said to Candy, whose expression was blank as she stared into space.

Mark was confirmed dead, and she lost the baby.

Step-mother, Natalie, was stunned; she held her lips with both hands.

"Oh my gawd, Candy. Are you going to be alright?" Natalie asked her stepdaughter, deep down, her heart was screaming with joy.

"Stop pretending", Candy muttered and raised her head to look at Natalie. "Isn't this your wish?"

Natalie swallowed and finally stopped the act. She was dressed in a luxury dress worth a lot of money.

"Well, Candy. I warned you about him. Even your father did before passing away, but you never listen."

"What do I do? It hurts so much. I want this pain to go away," Candy muttered, and Natalie smirked secretly.

"I can take the pain away from you if you want.. All you have to do is do what I ask," Natalie said.

Candy looked into her eyes for a while and nodded..

___

"The lawyer requests to see Miss. Candy" Natalie assistant informed as he stood behind her. She was seated in the living room, her face devoid of emotion.

"Didn't you do what I asked you to do?" She asked.

"I did, Mrs Natalie. I told him Candy is currently sick and won't be able to see him for a while"

Natalie smirked. She had found out that her husband, Mr Jefferson, had given all his properties to Candy. Which is something she definitely won't take.

Dropping the glass of wine in her hand, she raised her calm gaze to the other man seated before her.

"When am I going to get my balance?" The man asked, placing one leg on top another.

"When the wedding is done", Natalie smiled and then looked up to her assistant. "Where is she?"

"She is locked up in the room as usual,, He replied professionally.

In the not-so-dark room, Candy sat on the bed, her look lifeless as she stared outside her window. The last time she stepped out of this room was seven months ago.

After the tragic incident, Candy was like a puppet to her stepmother. Her weak heart was helplessly controlled by her. She had been drowning herself in the pit of her misery and then pretending to be fine.

Her door creaked open, Natalie walked in and composed herself.

"Hey, sweetie,, she greeted.

Candy turns to look at her. Her face lit up.

"Mother", she masked up her pain with a smiley face.

"It's so good to see you're happy and doing well. I have some good news for you," Natalie said.

"What is it, mother?" She asked.

"You're getting married", she announced, and Candy's face dropped.

"Marriage? All of a sudden?"

"Yes, my dear. It's just a temporary marriage, dear. This man will give you the power I promised you. You'll be able to face the world again and have men crumble under your feet, men like Mark," Natalie said. Knowing those names will reach Candy. After thinking for a moment..

"Fine, I'll do as you say", Candy nodded with a smile.

As the morning sun gently streaming through the large luxurious room. A naked lady blinked away the remnants of sleep, she found the man who kept her busy all night sitting at the edge of his king sized bed.

He was dangerously handsome having a chiseled cheekbone and a muscular body. He was perfect making one wonder if he's really human.. he's like a demigod. Getting to be on his bed was like a treasure to her.

"Hey, Mr. President" She shifted closer to him, her hand almost reaching him. However, he interrupted in a cold voice.

"Get out, your deed is done her" His rich, deep voice held an icy cold tone that sent a shiver down her spine.

Right, she had almost forgot this man was known as a billionaire devil.

Ruthless, dark and mysterious. His aura screams danger, warning anyone to think twice before messing with him.

"Do I need to repeat my word?" He asked, turning his head slightly to her. His piercing gaze made her heart skipped a beat. She immediately put on her clothes and scurried out of the room.

Diego exhaled, his jaw harden as he remembered what today is. Moments later, his phone rang, displaying his assistant, Jameson on the screen. He answered and stood, dipping his other hand into his pocket.

"Congratulations Mr. President, I'm so happy for you!" Came the cheerful voice on the other side. Diego pinched the bridge of his nose.

"It seems you don't need that tongue of yours Jameson" He remarked. While others calls him president, he hates it when it comes from Jameson.

"I was just teasing you bro. It's finally your wedding. I swear this still feels like a dream. I can't wait to meet your bride!" Jameson exclaimed.

"Fuck you" Diego cursed, ending the call. He exhaled and cursed under his breath. "Damn it"

Upon his grandfather falling ill and threatening him with his death, Diego agreed to get married. His aunt had promised to find a suitable woman for him. He hated this but has no choice but to fulfill his grandfather's wish.

It's a small wedding, only the family will be present. They are only going to sign the papers and have the priest join them together.

At the same day, Candy stared at her reflection. She had been preparing for this day her whole life. The make up artist had made a good job on her making her look beautiful on her white wedding dress. Her stomach turn with nervousness. If this is going to clear her pain, then she is in.

Her eyes dart around the empty room, she wonder what is taking her step mother so long.

"Where's Mrs. Jefferson" She asked the make up artist.

"She is in the room down the hall"

Candy nodded and made her way there. Her hand reached to open the door. However, she heard a strange word coming from Natalie.

"Yes, I'm going to kill her after she bare a child"

Candy's brow knitted and she took a peek on the door's key hole. She witnessed Natalie speaking with her assistant, Kelvin.

"Just to get this straight. Candy's father entrusted his wealth to her. And Candy can only pass on the wealth to her child. You want her to get married to her, bare a child. and then, kill Candy?" Kelvin asked and Candy who heard this mouth fell open in terror.

"Yes, wire the groom's account immediately after the wedding" Natalie spoke.

Candy withdraw herself, not being able to take it anymore. She immediately come to her senses, what was she doing? Natalie had always been a Cunny woman ever since her dad married her.

"I must be so stupid" Candy sighed deeply and then think of what to do. She need to leave this instant!

"Are you done with Candy? Where is she?" Natalie asked the make up artist.

"Yes ma'am. She said she was going to meet you" She replied and Natalie frowned. "Is she not here? Maybe she is back to the room. I'll take you to her"

Natalie exchange a glance with her assistant before following the make-up artist.

Opening the door, their eyes widsned seeing Candy was not in the room.

'Did she perhaps hear everything?' Natalie eyes widened. She turn to face Kelvin.

"Find her, any mistake and I'll kill you" She utter through her gritted teeth. Kelvin nodded, he pulled out his phone to call his other men.

Natalie stood frozen, clinching her fist. Her plan can't just be ruin this way!

___

Diego was getting married to a girl named Venessa Maxwell today, she is the daughter of the Max cooperation, one of the famous, rich company in the city. He doesn't know how she looks and didn't care. In fact he wishes to fast forward the time.

Jameson rushed into the dressing room with a worried look, but his face was replaced with awe when he saw how handsome Diego looks.

"Damn bro, I feel like stealing you away from your soon to be bride" He said. Diego sighed.

"Why are you here?" Diego asked, Jameson's face turn serious again.

"Ah I had a call that the bride had an accident on her way here" Jameson announced and Deigo frowned hard.

"What!"

His grandfather will be here soon and this is happening? Hearing this kind of news will make his sickness worsen and that will be worrisome for him.

"Find her. You should go alone, don't involve anyone. Old man shouldn't find out"

"What! I don't even know how your bride look like. You restricted me from knowing her face"

"That's because I know you'll find her and say nice words about me. Which I'll find annoying and then kill you" Diego said.

"Argh.. you know me so well. Should we just let aunt know about this?.."

"That woman will be coming with Old man. Do what I asked and find her yourself, we have no time, the wedding will be starting soon. You know where the accident happened so go there.. she must be dress in a white gown or something" Diego said.

"I can't believe you" Jameson shook his head and then storm out of the place.

However, Candy sat around a corner. The few people that saw her was busy gossipping, because she was still dressed in her wedding gown. She have nowhere to go at the moment. She can only pray her step mother didn't find her.

Her sight caught the small bruise on her knee. She had fell while trying to escape. Sighing, she rested her head on the wall.

A car drove pass but then reverse back. Jameson wind down the window, his face lit up seeing her. He quickly got down from the car and ran towards her.

"Are you Venessa?"

Candy looked up to the strange man dressed in a fine suit. She gave him a question look. Jameson saw the bruise on her knee, she must be the one but how come there was no guard with her.

"Are you Venessa Maxwell, the one who is getting married to Diego Gonzalez, today?" He asked again.

Candy recognize that name. Diego Gonzalez? The most powerful Billionaire in the city? Come to think of it, if she get married to him, that might help her situation.

Jameson titled his head staring at her face.

"Miss?.."

"Yes I am" Candy cut in "I'm Venessa, the one who is getting married to Diego Gonzalez"

"Oh.. uhm. I hope the accident isn't too fatal, you can still walk well? Diego doesn't want anyone to know you're hurt or something" Jameson said.

'He must be nice to care for his bride' Candy thought.

"Ah. I'm perfectly fine. Let's go to the wedding" Candy said quickly.

"What about your guards?" Jameson asked and Candy thought for a while.

"They.. uhm.. they died at the Accident"

Jameson was shocked, Candy felt she shouldn't have said that.

"Get into the car. We have no time to waste"

Immediately their car left, Kelvin car appeared at the scene. He came down from the car with some other men dressed in black suit. His eyes search around the place.. he then ordered the men coldly.

"Search for her, don't stop until you find her"

Jameson marched to stand beside Diego who gave him a questioning look.

"She'll be here soon" Jameson answer his unspoken question.

Soon, Candy appeared, walking down the aisle with a bunch of flowers. Her make up was retouch making her look more beautiful, her face covered in a white veil.

Hannah, Diego's aunt. The one who set a wife frowned a little. She couldn't see the bride's face because of the veil, but then thought maybe Venessa look leaner than before.

Unknown to her, the bride wasn't Venessa..

Getting to the alter, Candy could hear her fast beating heart. What if she get caught? This man is know as the Billionaire Devil, ruthless with his way. What if he punish her when he finds out she was a wrong bride and that she had decieved his assistant just to come here.

She could only pray the real bride doesn't show up here all of a sudden and ruin everything.

'I'll talk to him' She thought to herself and took a deep breath. She had only heard the whisper about this man and have not withness his appearance before. Slowly, she looked up to his face and her heart skipped a beat...

She thought the Billionaire devil was a middle age man, maybe ugly but she was wrong. This man was handsome, with a perfect built muscular frame body. Even with his cold look, he look like an angel. Is he even human? How could he be so perfect?

Candy didn't know when her lips curled up to a beautiful smile..

Diego who saw this was a bit taken back. How could she be smiling? He was used to people getting scared by his dominant aura and cold look but she was different. What kind of woman has his aunt set for her?

Old man Mavis was smiling ear to ear. He is finally withnessing his grandson wedding, his heart was swelling with joy.

"I do" Candy replied the priest question. Diego stared at her for a while before saying his.

"I now pronounce you both as husband and wife.. you may now..."

Before the priest could finish his word, Diego stepped down from the alter and began to walk away leaving Candy stun. What got into him all of a sudden?

"Jerk" Jameson shook his head and went to meet Candy. "Allow me to escort you back Mrs. Gonzalez"

Hearing the name 'Mrs. Gonzalez' made Candy smile again and followed Jameson out of the hall.

"That punk. How could he have left without holding his bride hand to hand?" Old Mavis mumbled. Hannah held his old hand.

"You know how cold he is. Allow Venessa to melt his heart. It's going to take a while. At least he is married now, let's be happy about that and visit them soon too" She said with a smile calming Old Mario's heart.

Meanwhile, in the Lamborghini, Candy stole a glance of Diego who had his eyes close. How could he not recognize his bride, what kind of wedding is this?

Well hers wasn't different. She doesn't know what her groom look like and never thought she would escape this easily.

"Here sign this. Input, your name and other details" Jameson gave Candy a file in which she took from him.

Diego's signature was there already..

She stared at the name space for a moment, wondering if she should write her own name or not. At the end she wrote her own details before handing them over to Jameson.

Her breath seized when Jameson wanted to check it.

"Wait!" She suddenly spoke.

This time, Diego eyes slowly open.

"Your suit, where did you get them? They are really nice" She asked. Diego turn his piercing gaze to her, her action shows she was nervous.

"This suit? I got them from the Gonzalez's personal fashion designer. His name is Einstein, he is the best. You'll meet him as time goes on" Jameson closed the file and keep it. Candy let out a deep breath, on which Diego didn't fail to notice.

___

In a large room, Venessa had her head on a man's chest as she slept soundly. The man was awake as he kept staring at her with a knowing smile on his face.

They both had a rough sex throughout last night and had slept half of the day.

Soon, Venessa's brow knitted as she let out a light groan, waking up.

"Good morning sunshine" Marvel greeted and when she look up to him, he lean down to kiss her lips lightly.

"Good morning bear. You look so handsome" She smiled, tapping her his nose with her index finger.

"You don't look bad either" Marvel said in an hoarse voice.

Venessa pulled her naked self away from him, got down from the bed and head for her phone.

"Uhm, Essa. Can we stay on bed a little longer?" Marvel said, staring at her fine body frame. His voice sounds a bit nervous.

"You wanna fuck me again this morning? No, I'm tired. My whole body aches because of your monster last night" Venessa chuckled then reach for her phone. Marvel took a deep breath.

"Huh? Why was there so many missed calls?" Venessa pouted, her sight met with the date on her screen and her eyes flew open wide with so much shock.

"The fuck!!!" Venessa exclaimed hard. She slowly turn to look at her boyfriend who was scratching his hair.

"Today supposed to be my wedding. Why the fuck didn't you remind me?!!" Venessa yelled insanely.

"C'mon babe. How could I just sit and let you get married to another man?" Marvel said.

"I told you it was temporary fuck! Gawd what have I done" She immediately made a call. Diego's aunt.

"Hey, Mrs. Hannah" Venessa breath out.

"Hi Venessa. I'm so happy for you today, I'm glad the wedding went well as planned" Hannah's voice sounded on the other side.

"Huh? Wh.. what are you talking about? What wedding?" Venessa's face squeeze with confusion.

"Your wedding Venessa. Didn't you just get married to Diego an hour ago?" Hannah asked in a confused tone.

"Actually aunt.. I wasn't at the wedding.."

"What!!!"

"Something really terrible came up. I couldn't show up. I just got out of the trouble and decided to call" Venessa began to freak out.

"If you aren't the bride then, who the fuck did Diego got married to?" Hannah asked.

"I.. I don't know... What you're talking about.. Diego got ma.. married?" Venessa swept her hair backwards as she held the phone tightly against her ear.

"Yes you dummy. How could you have neglected the wedding. After all our plans Venessa!!!" Hannah yelled over the phone.

"I told you that..." Venessa's words were cut short when the call ended.

"Shit!!"

She shot a glare at Marvel who was still sitting on the bed.

"How could they have held a wedding even after I had told them you had an accident?" Marvel mumbled.

"You what?!" Venessa grab an apple on the table and threw it to Marvel's chest. "You're a psycho!" She yelled and began to dress up.

"Where are you going babe?" He asked.

"Ask your smelly ass. I never knew have such a tiny brain. Did you know what you just made me lose?" She asked still putting on her wears roughly.

"You have me Essa. How will you feel if I decide to marry some lady one day?" He asked.

Venessa didn't reply as she storm out.

"Venessa!!!" Marvel yelled after her.
