The Billionaire's Contracted Bride

"what's up?" Nick said as he sat beside Adrian who was staring at his laptop as he clicked on different pictures of girls. "What are you doing?" He asked when he was not responding. "Trying to find a wife" he replied. "Huh? Is that how you find a wife?" He chuckle carrying the laptop from his lap. " I am honestly confused, I don't know what to do" he sigh in frustration. He has been trying to find a beautiful girl, that will suit him. His father started again yesterday, he went to visit him. He actually called for him. He knew they were going to end up in an argument and they did.

He was throwing it at his face about many billonier who are married and not just married but with kids, those that are younger and older than him. He told him to stop comparing him to others but he wouldn't listen. He keeps acting like the father of the year when the truth is, he's the worst. Ever since he was a kid, be rarely showed him love, yes always find a way to make him look and feel bad. They never talk without fighting, maybe that was one of the reasons he worked hard on himself. He thought he would be proud and stop making his life miserable but it was just a dream. The more he worked hard the more his father remind him of his mistakes. He actually stopped trying to please him, he let him say whatever he wants. But the issue of marriage actually hit him hard. He might not want to agree with his father but he actually has a point, after his ex left him, he has been a coward in relationship. He is afraid to fall in love again. He sigh as he rub his temples, will he find that girl meant for him. "Let's hold an audition" Nick suggested, "audition? What are you talking about? I'm not making a movie, I need a wife" he snapped. " I know but looks are deceptive, we need to keep them close so that you will choose the one that please you" he said. " So we should hold an audition?" Adrian asked, " yes, we need five to ten girls, it's going to last for a week or two after that, you will choose your bride" he explained. " Alright, do the necessary preparations" he said more like an order and Nick nodded. ***** Mirabel wandered on the streets as he felt like all hope is lost. Maybe it is. She just lost her job. She started working there barely two weeks and now she's out, her life is really the worst. If an award is to be giving to the person with the weirdest luck in history, she will definitely win. Too bad there is nothing of such. "Why is everything like this!" She yell and her voice echoed in the background. She stared around and luckily no one was passing by. At least she's save from those that will contact the nearest mental asylum. She sigh and sat on the floor, Mirabel Lopez, a twenty two year old girl. She grew up with her mom but they hot separated when she was ten. She left the house to get something for them to eat but she never returned. Being a strong girl she had no problem coping. But life doesn't give a damn about how strong you are, finishing high school was so hard, got into college on scholarship. She had to drop out when she couldn't pay some fees and put food on the table, it was just too hard. She was still lost in thought when she saw some guys walking into a bar. "I will definitely eat dinner, I just have to be smart" she mumble and walked into the bar. " Go get some drinks from the bartender we have to celebrate" she heard one of the guys said. " Guys I think this is too much" another guy who looked like the richest said as they sat in the VIP section. "Congratulations man!" One of the guy yell as he opened a bottle of champagne and they all raised a cup to get theirs. "Wow! Congratulations!" A man yell as he clicked glass with Adrian. He just smiled and drank a sip from his cup the last thing he need is getting drunk. He just closed another deal. It is really a great achievement. He is getting richer and richer as each minutes goes by. Well he has the brain so what's stopping him from expanding his company and getting richer. "That was a hard deal bro, I actually thought you won't be able to handle that cocky man" one of his friends said. " What are you talking about? Of course he can handle any living thing including a pu**y" another guy joked and they laughed except Adrian who chuckled. " He is Adrian Gonzales, he moves mountain" Nick stated with his hands around his shoulder. "You joke a lot" he uttered removing his hand around his shoulder." Excuse me" Adrian excused himself and walked away. He washed his hand after easing himself. He stared at his reflection in the mirror and a smile appeared at the corner of his lip. 'I should not give a damn about what dad says, I am doing great and I will do many more great things because I am Adrian Gonzales' he thought. It's high time he stopped living up to other people expectations. He should just believe in himself. He was still thinking as he walked out of the restroom. Someone, a girl to be precise bump into him. "I'm sorry" she apologized and he could tell she's drunk, she stink of alcohol. " It's fine" he said and she wink, he felt his heart raced for that second, it was so fast that he could not tell if it was real. "Excuse me" the lady uttered and staggered away.

Mirabel smile as she walked normally, she knew the rich strange guy can't see her anymore. One thing I must have forgot to mention, Mirabel steals sometimes when she can't make ends meet. You can't blame her though, life gave it to her hard. You can't play the games if you don't know the rules. She might have learnt the wrong rules but it's still a rule. She followed Adrian to the rest room after wetting herself with alcohol. She intentionally bump into him to steal his wallet but as faith would have it she was able to get his chain too, a golden wrist watch with letter A.

"Thanks Mr Rich stranger" she mutter trying to find a restaurant. ******** " Man there you are" one of his friends said as he pointed at him. " What took you so long?" Nick asked as he sat beside them. "Sorry, something delayed me" he apologized. " Don't tell me you did a quickie in the restroom" Nick exclaimed and Adrian glared at him. He wondered how he hasn't gotten a girl pregnant yet. All he thinks about his s*x, he must have been a s*x god in his previous life. "Unlike you, I don't screw everything under skirt" he snapped and Nick chuckled " Nick since when do you look ugly?" One of their friend asked already drunk. "I think you should clear the bills" Nick suggested and Adrian nodded. He reached for his wallet but it was no longer there, he searched his pocket but he felt nothing. "I guess I left it in the restroom" he informed Nick and left in search of it. Searched everywhere in could think of but he couldn't find it. He walked out of the restroom then something dawned on him, a lady bumped into him. "Shit" he cursed and he quickly checked his wrist, it was then he realized he isn't wearing his wrist watch too. "I have to find her" he mutter rushing back yo Nick. He would have let her go with the wallet but he definitely can't let her have his wrist watch. That was the last gift his mom gave him before she passed away. "Nick, I will clear the bills find a way to get them home. I have to go" he rushed his words as if he had hot water in his mouth. He payed the bills through transfer and rushed out of the bar. 'She couldn't have gone far' he thought as he drove slowly, trying to see who was in the house and those that are walking by the roadside. He smiled as he saw her sit calmly in a restaurant with his wallet in front of her. The restaurant was very close to the road so it made it easier for him. She also left something that only him understands. He parked his car in the parking lot and walked into the restaurant. A waitress placed Mirabel order in front of her and she started eating immediately. Adrian sat behind her and just waited for her. He has no idea why he's not getting mad at her for stealing his precious necklace, the last time someone tried to steal it. He broke his hand and locked him up. But he isn't doing anything to Mirabel, is it because she's a girl or what? He hasn't felt like this towards anyone in since like forever. "Your bill ma'am" the waitress gave her a piece of paper as soon as she was done eating. "Here" she payed her more than enough, "this is too much ma'am" she complained. "Keep the change" she said and the girl smile, " thank you very much" she appreciated and Mirabel just nodded. Adrian just chuckle as he listened to their conversation, she have the nerve to do charity with his money. "The food here is good isn't it" he started covering his face with the menu. Mirabel turned to see the person who gentle and handsome belongs to but his face was covered with the menu. "Yeah, it was good" she replied, "will you like to visit again?" He asked and Mirabel almost thought he owned the restaurant with the way he spoke. "I don't know" she shrugged, "why aren't you sure? Don't you believe you will be able to steal money?" He asked and her heart skip a beat. What is this stranger talking about? Why is he talking about her stealing? She suddenly feels like he saw her steal. "W.... what are you talking about?" She sturter in fear. Everything will be over if she's caught. He is definitely going to report her to the police, why did she buy food and also give tip. 'you are definitely an idiot Mirabel, have you ever heard that a poor person gives tip' she thought. "Hello! Are you there?" Adrian asked waving his hand, he already dropped the menu. 'it ... it's him... It is really over' she thought as fear engulfed her, sweat was already running down her body. "S.. i.. r" she sturter, "I can actually explain" she managed to say. "I'm listening" Adrian said gesturing a go ahead with his hand. " I actually lost my job and I was hungry. There is no means of getting food unless i... I steal. I'm sorry you lost your money" she bowed her head in an apologetic manner. She waited for him to say something, scold her threaten her. That is what they usually do when they catch her. But thus rich stranger is not saying anything, she took that as an opportunity to drop the wallet and wrist watch "I promise not to steal from you again. Thank you for the meal" she appreciated and wanted to rush out of the restaurant when he ordered. "Stop!!" His voice sounded so strict so she froze and slowly turned around. She wanted to guess what he is going to do to her by staring at his eyes but what she saw was not helpful.

His eyes was not void of emotions, not even the littlest. She knew that was the end, there is no escape route for her. "I already gave you your money what more do you want?" She asked with a frown. Mirabel is something else she stole someone money and she's the angry one. Adrian took his time to study her body but she had no idea what he was staring at, she couldn't tell since he is not the type to show emotions. "I will do whatever you want just don't send me to prison. I will return the money I stole. I promise" she assured with fear.

This man is definitely not the cute handsome stranger she stole from. "Follow me" he ordered taking his wrist watch and wallet. "Don't even think of running" he warned and walked out of the restaurant and she followed immediately. "Get into the car" he ordered getting into the driver's seat, she entrered the car and sat at the passengers seat in the back. "I'm not your driver" he said staring at her through the reversing mirror. She quickly got down and went to sit in the front seat. He drove away, the car was quiet no one said a word. A lot of questions ran through Mirabel head. Where is he taking her? Is he going to kill her? With the look on his face, she can tell he's a mafia lord and if he isn't, his friend is. He is definitely not taking her to the police station. What is he going to do with her? Gosh, she shouldn't have steal from him. Why didn't she just stole from someone else. What if he rape her? This is bad. 'God save me, I know I'm stubborn and not obedient but save me from Rich stranger. If you save me, I promise to turn a new leaf. I will never steal again, I will go to church and work very hard please save me' she was still praying in her heart when the car stopped. She opened one eye and quickly opened the other to be sure of what she's seeing. The house no the mansion in front of her is breathtaking. It is so huge and the water fall is so beautiful. The flowers surrounding the waterfall made everything perfect. "Get down" Adrian said in his cold voice and she obeyed. She saw numerous beautiful cars and couldn't help but open her mouth. Adrian noticed how she admired the house and he could tell, she has never seen such a beauty. "Come inside" he uttered walking towards the entrance door, he walked in and see followed. Just like she imagined the inside is much more beautiful. Maids were walking up and down doing one thing or another. "Lily" Adrian call and a lady dressed in a maid uniform rushed to him, "take her to the guest room beside mine and give her whatever she wants. Make sure she's comfortable" he ordered. " Yes boss Adrian" Lily bowed and he walked past her. He headed upstairs and Mirabel was still trying to comprehend everything that he just said. Why is he assigning her a maid? She stole his money, he should have punished her or send her to prison, why did he bring her to his house? Is he really going to hurt her? 'you are definitely cursed Mirabel, you are cursed' she thought hitting her forehead. "Miss, I will take you to the room where you will be spending your night" Lily said respectfully and Mirabel couldn't help but blush. If this lady here knew her background she will definitely stare at her with disgust and won't respect her no matter what their boss says. She followed the maid upstairs and they stopped in front of a door, " we are here" she said and Mirabel stared at her with confusion boldly written on her face. Lily noticed and explained further, "this is the room where you will spend the night" she explained and Mirabel nodded. She opened the door and Mirabel followed her in, she has heard of king size bed but this is the first time she will be seeing one. The room was painted in pink and white which made it look perfect, there was a couch in a side. "That's the bathroom, call me if you need anything I will be downstairs" Lily said and bowed before leaving the room. Mirabel jumped on the bed with so much excitement, this is f*cking great. She's in a mansion and not just in a mansion she will spend the night there in a huge beautiful room. 'Idiot! What if he plans on killing you in the middle of the night?' her subconscious ask and she froze. Her leg felt weak all of a sudden and she fell on the bed, "what's going through his mind? What's his motive for bringing me here?" She asked no one as she stared at the ceiling that was showing different color. Not the bulb but the ceiling itself, "I won't sleep no matter what. What I did was wrong but I was just saving my ass from starving to death. I will stay awake and ready" she concluded. She was feeling tired and she kept yawning, she had a really long day and it has been a while since she last slept on a comfortable bed. It didn't take long for her to drift into long slumber. ******** "Wake up! Wake up!" Adrian whispered laying on top of her. "What are you doing?" She asked trying to move but her leg and hand was tied. " What did you do? Why can't I move?" She asked struggling to free herself. " You really have nice curves you see and those amazing eyes of yours is enchanting" he whispered seductively. " What do you want from me?" She asked in fear, " a taste of you" he answered and she felt something liquid in her pant. I think she just peed.
