Be My Wifey Or Lose Your Job

Janelle’s Pov.

I stared at the man in front of him as if he’s suddenly gone nuts.

What’s he spluttering?…

My husband’s house?..

This has got to be a joke..

“Excuse me?.”I scoffed as I moved my hair back.

“Do you have any evidence?.”I asked.

He proffered the file to me and I glanced at Josh before collecting it.

I studied the contents in it and my head snapped up immediately.

“This is not right… I… I…”I stuttered.

Josh grabbed the file from me and looked into it.

After some minute, he looked at me with a quizzical look.

“You’re married?..”he asked.

I breathed out a sigh then ruffled my hair.

“Look.. I don’t really know?.. i mean.. it’s.. it’s..”I stuttered and breathed out a long sigh yet again.

This whole thing is driving me nuts.

I recalled what my mom told me yesterday night and my eyes shined brightly.

She really betrothed me!..

“I never knew you’re somebody’s else wife, Janelle. And why didn’t you tell me?, even Diana. I wouldn’t have go on a date with you If I knew this from the get on.. so, what?.. are you cheating over your husband with me?.”he ranted angrily.

I turned to him in bewilderment.

How could he say that..

He’s too harsh.

“See the mess you have gotten me into.. a bill of $100, 000 is now imposed on me because I’m keeping someone else’s wife?. Seriously!, Janelle.. I didn’t know you were a cheap slut!.”he exclaimed.

The men stared between us and turned to look at each other.

Oh, God!.

He sounded really scary right now!..

“Infact!, please, Janelle. Don’t let me set my eyes on you anymore, never.. gosh..”he filed and then, pushed me out gently and shut the door.

I batted my lashes then scoffed.

This can’t be true.

Woah; so, this is actually his true color.

The men cleared their throat and coughed lightly.

I turned to them and one of them gestured his hand to a car that was parked in front of the house.

“Mr George sent this car to take you to the mansion.”he said.

“Who’s George?.”I asked, discombobulated.

The men, yet again, exchanged looks.

“Ah, you mean you don’t know Mr George?.”one of them asked with a light scoff.

I furrowed my brows and nodded.

“Well, as much as this is amusing, it’s hell confusing also.. you don’t know Mr George?.. your husband?.”he asked.

Oh..NôvelDrama.Org exclusive content.

“So good of him to use my job as a threat to me!.”I sighed softly.

I went to the car and entered without a second thought.

I’ll make sure i make the so called*George hate me.

“Good morning, miss.”the driver greeted.

“Oh, please. Nothing is good in the morning.”I rolled my eyes.

“Oh, okay.”he smiled and I glared at him through the rear – view mirror.

**

We drove for a long time before we got to a mansion.

The driver went to park the car in the garage.

I got down and a light gasp escape my lips when I saw the cars in the garage..

Sport cars.., Range overs.. Toyotas.. Benz.

It’s all uncountable.

I didn’t see this while he was driving in.

Well, what did I expect.. the window was tinted.

Oh.. this house is so beautiful..

I covered my mouth with my palm in admiration.

The exterior decoration alone is an alone vibe.

I walked out of the garage and glanced around the big mansion.

A pool was in the right side of the house and..

“Gosh!.. this is beautiful!.”I said aloud.

So, this kind of house really exist in this city?.

The guy must be stink*ng rich!. Everything thing in this house all talks about money.

Whoo!.

Different guards are wandering about the house.

“Follow me, ma’am.”the driver instructed calmly while walking away.

I followed him behind still lost in the beauty of the mansion.

He led me inside a spacious living room.

“Okay, tell me this isn’t real, I don’t think we are still in earth… this.. this is heaven!.”I said.

I scurried over to the world and touched it.

Oh, this feels warm..

Heavenly father!.

How can a man owns all this?..

The wall were painted in white.

A huge TV that covered the whole space was plastered to the wall.

A glass table was placed in the center and the cushions that were painted in pink formed a circle around it.

A portrait of a guy was on the wall and I moved closer to get a proper look at him.

The driver was just staring at me as I display.

I heard the footsteps of someone descending the stairs and I looked up.

What?…

The rude punk from the other night appeared and my jaw dropped.

What the…

Janelle’s Pov.

What the hell?.

I stared profoundly at him as he descended the last stairs.

That was when the reality hit me.

Gosh!..

I’m so stupid!..

While I was busy checking out the house, I totally forgot about the husband stuff.

“Hi.”he smiled.

“You can go now, Ren. Thanks.”he said to the guy behind me and he bowed before leaving.

“Now, tell me this is a joke. I know you!.”I folded my arms.

“Well, certainly. You know me from the court, from the damage I cause your friend the other night and you know me from today.”he smiled.

Ugh!.

“That means you know me also so we practically know each other.”I said.

He nodded and moved to the couch then sat down.

“Well, maybe you can do me the honor of knowing why I’m here.”I scoffed.

“Didn’t they tell you?.”he asked.

“They kinda did, but, I’m quite unsure.”I replied.

“Because you’re my wife.”he said as he crossed his right leg on the left one.

“I.. I can never be your wife.. I mean it’s not possible..”I blinked rapidly.

“Yes, you can, Janelle Bright.”he replied.

Huh?.

How did he know my name?..

“Do you remember colliding into a man in the corridor of the prosecutor’s office?. he asked..

I breathed out a sigh and tried to remember if I’d ever bump into him.

“You were in a rush to the Court room back then for the first trial of a man that stole from George’s company.”he added.

Okay, now, how does he also know I’m indicting George’s worker?…

This guy is sure mysterious.

The memories of the day started flooding in my head..

I remembered the chief coming to cheer me up and when I was running to the Court room and colliding into a man in the corridor…

I gasped and turned to him.

“You are that man.”I pointed at him and he nodded.

“And.. wait.”I scoffed.

“You’re… George McFarland.”I gasped.

“You’re quite smart.”he smiled.

So, why will he want me as his wife?.

“Look, I’m sure different girls are out there, drooling over you and, there’s a lot of them and you can easily choose one of them as your wife and I’m sure the one you choose will be really happy, but, why me?. Why did you choose to choose a girl like me?.., I mean a plain girl like me??. To say I don’t even recognize you on the first day we saw each other is enough prove that I’m an amateur.”I expounded.

“And that’s why I like you. Because you’re being you. I choose you because I like you.. no one has never made me feel the way I felt the other day on our first meeting.. immediately I set my eyes on you, my heart throb for you. Usually, I don’t believe in Love At first Sight but when I saw you, trust me, it was love at first sight and I suddenly felt this feeling, this obsession feeling and possession towards you. I.. I.. suddenly want to have you to myself.”

I stared profoundly at him not knowing how to react to his words.

I mean, what can I say?.

This is huge.

No one has never said those to me before.

I bursted into laughter and he stared at me sternly.

“What’s so funny?.”he asked.

“Everything.”I said.

I stopped laughing and sighed.

“That was one hell of a confession and I didn’t quite see the laughter coming.”he frowned.

“It’s funny. How can you confess love to someone you’re just meeting.”I said.

“Point of correction, not just meeting.”he rolled his eyes.

“Okay, someone you’ve met before but, never had a proper conversation with.”I stated.

“Well, I guess you don’t know, but, confessing to someone in your first conversation is the best.”he replied.

“Who said it’s the best?, well, that person is dumb. Firstly, you never know which kind of a girl she is, if she’s interested in love or she already has a lover, or if she’s not the love type like she doesn’t fancy it. But, you suddenly lets out your heart to her without any observation, then you’re dumb!.”I said truthfully, although, I’m trying every possible ways to make him feel disgust towards me.

“I’ve been observing you and I know you don’t have a lover.”he said.

I breathed out a sigh and went to sit down on the couch also.

Well, so much of him for not asking me, to, at least, take my seat.

I rolled my eyes inwardly..

“Let’s just say we’re both an amateur in Love.”I said.

“Let’s get to the matter of fact..”

His phone rang and he brought it out of his pocket and after staring at the screen for some seconds, he looked up at me.

“I have to take this. It’s an important call.”he excused himself before standing up and walking to a corner then receiving the call.

He returned after some minutes and he looked annoyed.

“I gotta go. Make yourself at home.”he said.

Wait.. what?.

At home?.

He can’t possibly be abandoning me here…

He walked to the door and I called him.

“George.”I called and stood up.

He stopped in his track and turned to me.

“Why do I have to be the wife you requested?.. I’m no good for you, and, i will advice you to rethink your decision while you still can.”I said.

He paused for a second and took a long stare at me.

“Then, let me advice you also. It’s better you get use to this real fast so you don’t have to see my other side. I mean, I can be just as bad as I’m good, so, accept me while I’m still good to you.. all this I’m doing is because I like you and there’s no rethink to do in that. Bye.”he replied and left.
