The Arrogant billionairee

Lisa's POV Lisa stood in front of her dad, her eyes filled with tears, feeling stunned by his words. "You can't just marry me off like that. I'm not some kind of property to be traded. I have my feelings and dreams," Lisa said, her voice trembling with emotion. Mr. Edward stood there, listening to her, and responded calmly, "Lisa, you know how important this marriage is for my company and business. Besides, it's a contract marriage." "I don't care! I refuse to marry someone I don't love just because it's convenient for you," Lisa asserted, her voice filled with determination.

"Lisa, you need to understand..." Mr. Edward began to say. "No, Dad!" Lisa interrupted, her voice raised. "I've always been a respectful daughter, but this time, I can't sacrifice my happiness for the sake of your company. I won't do it. I won't be a part of this contract marriage," she declared, storming out of the living room. TWO DAYS BACK He seemed quite upset, pacing around the living room with his hands behind his back. Just one look at him, and you could tell he was disturbed. "This is impossible!" he exclaimed in a furious tone. "I can't believe this is happening. Bankrupt? Me? The whole Mr. Edward? No, this can't be true. I need to find a solution," he said, hitting the wall in anger. Feeling the urgency, he grabbed his phone from the centre table and dialed a contact. "Hello, sir," a lady answered. "Hi Helen, what's up? Did I get any feedback from him?" "Yes, sir," Helen replied. "At last, he gave you an appointment..." "Really?! Oh, I'm so grateful. Thank you, Helen," he interrupted her. "It's okay, sir, but he said on Monday at 8 am sharp, and you know he hates tardiness." "Don't worry, I'll be there by 7 am. Thank you," he assured her. MONDAY 7 am He woke up really early, dropped Lisa off at work, and went to his appointment. He arrived at the company and waited for over an hour. "Helen, are you sure he told me to come today? I've been here since 7:30 am, and now it's 9:30 am," he said, feeling angry. "I'm sorry, sir. I don't know why he's not here yet," Helen replied. "Can't you call him and ask why he's not here yet?" he asked, frustrated. "What?! Do you want me to get fired? Just be patient, he'll be here soon," Helen snapped. Just as Mr. Edward was about to say something, "George Henry" walked in with his four burly bodyguards. He didn't even spare them a glance. After another 30 minutes of waiting, he was finally ushered in and introduced himself. "Nice to meet you, sir," George Henry's PA said. "What's the reason for requesting this appointment?" the PA asked coldly. With fear in his voice, he started speaking, as George hadn't even looked at him until now. "My company is on the verge of bankruptcy, and we have a lot of bank loans. They're breathing down our necks. That's why I came here to ask for a favor if this company could grant me a loan to save my company from collapsing." "Like, how much are we talking about?" the PA asked, still coldly. "About 30 billion, if possible," Mr. Edward replied. "30 billion dollars?!" the PA exclaimed, shock evident on his face. "Okay, sir, when do you plan to repay it?" he asked again. "In one year or even earlier than that," he replied. George and his P.A. had a private conversation, and then George turned to Mr. Edward with a serious look on his face. "Hey, we've thought about your request and we're willing to give you the loan, but there's a catch," George's P.A. said with a hint of mystery. Mr. Edward, curious and a bit anxious, asked what the condition was, hoping it wouldn't be too difficult to agree to. And then, the P.A. dropped the bombshell. "Well, Mr. Edward, in exchange for the loan of 30 billion dollars with no interest, Mr. George wants your daughter." Mr. Edward was taken aback, his eyes widening in disbelief. "Wait, hold on a second! You want me to give my daughter away because of money? That's just crazy!" he exclaimed, trying to process the unexpected proposal. The P.A. quickly reassured him, "No, no, no! Calm down, Mr. Edward. We don't mean selling your daughter. It's more like a contract marriage. Mr George will do even more than you asked for. Just sign the contract, and remember, it's all business, no pressure." Mr. Edward couldn't help but feel a mix of emotions, realizing the complexity of the situation. "I'll take your silence as a 'no'," he said again, not receiving any response from Mr. Edward. "No! No, I'm not rejecting the offer. I just need some time to think about it," Mr. Edward quickly clarified. "You can take your time to think. We're not pressuring you. This is a deal that requires agreement from all sides - me, you, and your daughter. You have every right to reject the offer. Remember, there are millions of people out there waiting for an opportunity like this. I'm okay with whatever decision you make," Mr. George finally stated, his smile taking on a slightly sinister tone. "I'll think about it and get back to you, sir," Mr. Edward replied, leaving the office feeling heavy-hearted and pondering how to approach his daughter about this contract. END OF FLASHBACK

Lisa's POV "I can't believe Dad is marrying me off to someone I don't know, someone I'm not in love with just to save his company," Lisa muttered to herself, consumed by her thoughts as she drifted off to sleep. The next morning, Lisa woke up feeling refreshed and ready for the day ahead. As she went through her morning routine, she reflected on her life and decided to dress up and head to work without waiting for her dad. She wasn't ready to face him after the events of the previous day.

Upon returning home from work, Lisa tried to avoid her dad, but to her surprise, he was waiting for her in the living room. He spoke angrily, questioning why she had left for work without him and insinuating it was because of their conversation yesterday. Lisa remained silent, looking at her dad with deep disappointment. He continued, trying to make her understand that this contract marriage was the only solution to his problems. "I don't care, Dad!" Lisa yelled, her voice filled with frustration. "I'm not getting married to a stranger for your selfish reasons." With those words, she stormed out of the living room. Her dad's angry voice followed her as he yelled, demanding that she not walk out on him and insisting that she would marry this stranger and sign the contract. Filled with weariness, Lisa made up her mind to visit George Henry's company the next day and speak with him directly. Lisa woke up early the next day, feeling refreshed and a little better. She went through her usual morning routine and dressed up, aiming for a simple yet unique look. With everything in place, she took a deep breath and mentally prepared herself for the day ahead. As she arrived at the company, she said a silent prayer, hoping for a positive outcome. Lisa was directed to Helen, George's secretary. "Welcome, ma'am. How may I assist you?" Helen greeted her. "I need to see the CEO, please," Lisa replied with a smile. "Do you have an appointment scheduled with him?" Helen inquired. "No, but what I want to discuss with him is very important," Lisa explained. "I'm sorry, but you can't see him without a scheduled appointment," Helen responded firmly. Lisa tried to plead, but Helen abruptly interrupted her, speaking harshly. Lisa was taken aback by Helen's words, feeling insulted. Tears welled up in her eyes, but she refused to give up because she was determined to see the CEO. Before Lisa could respond, George's PA noticed the commotion at Helen's desk. He quickly approached them, apologized to Lisa, and guided her to the CEO's office. "Good morning, sir," Lisa greeted George, relieved that he finally acknowledged her presence. "Morning," George replied, almost making Lisa think he wouldn't respond. "I'm Lisa Edward, Mr. Edward's daughter," she introduced herself. George asked, "How may I help you, Miss Lisa?" "I'm here regarding the contract marriage discussion you had with my dad..." Lisa began. George interrupted her, saying, "So you came to thank me for marrying you?" "No, no, it's nothing like that..." Lisa tried to explain. "Then what?" George cut her off again. "Are you here to see me, flirt with me, or because you need money?" "What?!" Lisa exclaimed, furious at his assumptions. "Okay, tell me how much you need," George continued, smirking. "Because I know any girl in your position would be extremely happy. But let me make it clear, this is a contract marriage. Nothing will happen between us. I can offer you money and fame, but I won't give you myself because I have self-respect. So, how much do you need?" Lisa was shocked, angry, embarrassed, and overall overwhelmed. Her eyes turned red with anger. Suddenly, she felt something thrown at her face, and her fear turned into confusion as she realized it was bundles of money. "Take it and leave my office," George said, dismissing her and returning to his work. "What?!" Lisa yelled again. "Me? How dare you?! How dare you?!" Her voice cracked with emotion. "Get out of my office, you gold digger!" George shouted. "Or is the money not enough for you?"Her body shook as she picked up the money and threw it back at him. Then, she grabbed the water from the table and spilled it all over his work files. "Hey! Are you out of your mind?" he shouted angrily. "How dare you!" she yelled, pointing her finger at him. "What do you have that would make me even consider being with you? I came here about the contract, but only to let you know that you don't meet the standards of a man who could have me. You lack the qualities, and your money means nothing to me!" "Do you even know who I am?" he yelled. "Go to hell! I don't care about you or your personality. I don't know who you are, and I don't give a damn!" she yelled, storming out of the office, tears streaming down her face.

He was absolutely livid when she walked out on him! "Who the hell does she think she is, walked into his office and talked to him in that manner ?" he screamed, slamming the wall in anger. He grabbed his phone and dialed his P.A.'s number. "Call that stupid old man and tell him he's got three days. If he doesn't deliver, I'm canceling that damn deal!" he yelled at his P.A. Without any explanation, he fired more than fifteen of his employees and stormed out of the office. He drove off, not even knowing where he was going, her words still ringing in his ears.

Nobody had ever dared to disrespect him like she did. "No way! She's gonna pay for this!" he said, hitting the steering wheel with all his might. Lisa's POV She returned home in tears only to receive the devastating news that her dad had collapsed and was rushed to the hospital. In a state of panic, she rushed to the hospital and pleaded with the doctor for answers, desperately hoping they could save her father. The doctor, in a calm tone, explained to her that her dad had been diagnosed with heart disease. There was something he needed but wasn't getting, which could be dangerous for his heart and potentially lead to his death. She couldn't believe what she was hearing and yelled, refusing to accept that her father was dying. "No, Doctor! I can't accept that my father is dying! I need to see him right away!"Lisa yelled "Lisa, I understand your emotions, but it's crucial that we approach this situation calmly. Your father's condition is serious, and we need to discuss the best course of action."The doctor said in a calmly She walked out on him and rushed to her father's room. "Dad, please, wake up! I've made the decision to marry the person you wanted. I'll sign the contract. Please, don't leave me."She said crying Slowly opening his eyes, "Lisa, are you serious about this? Are you truly willing to save my company from bankruptcy?" "Yes, Dad, I am. I promise to do everything in my power. Please, don't leave me alone."She said still crying "Thank you so much, Lisa, May God bless you, you've made me the happiest father today". He was discharged the next day and Lisa hasn't been herself ever since then, she can't believe she agreed to a contract marriage with that rude and arrogant jerk. " I can't believe this is happening to me, a contract marriage? What about my dreams ". She cried THE NEXT DAY Mr. Edward dressed up in his sharp business attire, paced back and forth, his mind racing with worry. Lisa, still in her comfortable bathrobe, sat at the kitchen table, arms crossed, her expression skeptical. "Dad, it's only 8 am! Why are you in such a hurry?" She questioned, her voice tinged with frustration. Mr. Edward sighed, his eyes filled with determination. "Sweetheart, we need to be there by 9. Time is ticking, and we can't afford to be late," he explained, his words laced with urgency. Lisa's eyebrows furrowed as she looked at her father. "But Dad, isn't he supposed to come to us? Why do we have to go to him?" she asked, her voice tinged with anger. He paused, his face reflecting a mix of concern and understanding. "Lisa, I've asked him for help, and it's only fair that we go to him," he replied, trying to reassure her. Lisa slumped in her chair, feeling a wave of frustration wash over her. "I can't believe I'm marrying that jerk," she muttered under her breath, her voice filled with disappointment. Mr. Edward, sensing his daughter's distress, reached out a hand and gently placed it on her shoulder. "I understand it's not easy, sweetheart. But do this to save your father please " he said, his voice filled with empathy. "Ugh, I'm no going anywhere! And dad please don't try to force me, I'm still trying to believe I'm marrying that jerk!" "Okay Lisa I will go there alone," he said leaving the house feeling down George's POV No way, man! It has to be the three of us signing, just like it says in the contract," He exclaimed, raising his voice at Mr. Edward. "I get it, Mr. George, but she's sick, that's why she couldn't make it today," Mr. Edward explained. "Well, then we'll just have to wait until she feels better. You can sign your part now, and when she's back and signs her part, you'll get the credited ," George proposed confidently. Mr. Edward fell silent, unsure of what to do next. Listen, I'm not gonna force it. If this contract isn't gonna work out, let's just forget about it," George said, a mischievous smirk appearing on his face."No...no, I'll sign my part, and I'll make sure she comes tomorrow to sign hers," Mr. Edward agreed, feeling a bit pressured. Mr Edward stormed out of the office, frustration etched on his face. As he stepped onto the bustling city streets, his mind raced with thoughts of how to convince Lisa to come and sign the papers the next day. Lisa's POV She woke up with a heavy heart, still feeling the cold tension between her and her father after their argument. She couldn't believe that he was threatening to disown her over the contract marriage. Determined to resolve the situation, she decided to go and sign the papers at the company. As Lisa arrived at the office, she brushed past the secretary, her mind consumed by the weight of the situation. She marched straight into the CEO's office, not bothering to exchange pleasantries or even acknowledge his presence. Minutes ticked by in silence, tension filling the room. Finally, unable to bear the silence any longer, Lisa spoke up, her words laced with frustration. "Just give me the damn papers so I can sign them. I have other important things to attend to." He seemed unfazed, engrossed in his laptop. Lisa's frustration grew, and she made a move to leave when his voice cut through the air. He spoke with pride, threatening to cancel the deal if she walked out. Lisa felt a wave of shame wash over her. She couldn't let her father's actions define her. Gathering her courage, she turned to face Him, her voice filled with determination. "Listen here, Mr George, or whatever your name is, give me those papers now. I have other things to take care of!" At that moment, Lisa realized that she had to stand up for herself and prove her worth. She wouldn't let anyone belittle her or make her feel ashamed. With her head held high, she awaited his response, ready to face whatever challenges lay ahead. "Give me the papers!" she yelled again, frustration evident in her voice. "The papers? Which papers?" he replied calmly, feigning innocence. "The ones you used to blackmail my dad. Just give them to me, let me sign, and leave," she pleaded, her voice trembling with emotion. "Your dad didn't act like this yesterday. He begged for them. So, why don't you beg too?" he said, smirking. "Unbelievable!" she exclaimed, tears welling up in her eyes. "Miss Lisa, you're wasting my time. Beg me to marry you," he said, a smug smile on his face. "Look, you have no idea how much I despise you. Stop pushing it. Give me the papers, let me sign, and let me get out of here. I feel suffocated," she said, her voice filled with a mixture of anger and sadness. "Really? You hate me? But you came here asking for my hand in marriage. What kind of hatred is that?" he taunted. "I'm not asking for your hand in marriage. I'm here because I want to make my father happy. Otherwise, I wouldn't even know someone like you exists," she yelled, her frustration boiling over. "Then beg! You have only one minute to do whatever brought you here and leave my office. My breath is seizing because of your body odor," he sneered. Mr. George, please give me the papers let me sign." She said crying."Repeat yourself, I didn't hear you." He demanded that she repeat her request, relishing in the power he held over her. Despite her tears and vulnerability, Lisa mustered up the courage to ask once again for the papers. He continued to play his mind games, asking if he should help her. Lisa, desperate to obtain the papers, replied with a shaky "Yes, sir." "Finally relenting," He said and handed her the papers, commanding her to sign them and leave. As She reached out to take the papers, His actions took an unexpected turn. He forcefully grabbed her hand, causing her to stumble and fall into his arms. Lisa struggled to break free from his grasp, but he held her tightly. At that moment, He revealed a box containing an exquisite diamond ring. Without her consent, he slipped it onto her finger and kissed her aggressively. "The moment you attempt to remove this ring, then consider the deal canceled! I'm sending my chauffeur to get you tomorrow, Get lost!" "I hate you with passion!" she screamed and stormed out of the office.
