Contract Marriage; Fated Love

Noah Harper was the CEO of the most powerful company in the country, Blackwood Towers. He was also the city’s most eligible bachelor. He was seated in the VIP section of Rossvette restaurant having dinner. His cold demeanor could be felt from a distance. He had a jet black short hair and a cold and stern face with sharp features. He exuded an air of nobility and aloofness. His delicate fingers moved smoothly on the cutlery set.

Noah suddenly put down his cutlery. “Why am I feeling strange?” he asked himself. He turned and called one of his guards.

“Frank,” he called.

A though looking guy appeared immediately.

“Yes sir,” he answered.

“Did you notice anything unusual?” Noah questioned.

“Not at all, sir.”

“Nothing about the food and drink before it was brought?” Noah probed further, his sharp eyes studying Frank closely.

“No sir. There was no issue. Everything was perfect, normal and top notch as usual,” Frank answered.

“I feel strange, I will definitely punish you for ineffieciency,” Noah said coldly.

“Punish me master. I will be more vigilant next time. Let me call your doctor,” Frank apologized bowing low.

” No,” Noah objected. He couldn’t sit still anymore. His whole body felt strange, hot, aroused and excited. He stood up immediately,

“I will be in my room,” he said and went off.

Noah opened the door and saw a small figure on his bed. She looked so pretty and cute. The effect of the aphrodisiac he had taken was fast acting. He climbed the bed and pounced on her, covering her little mouth with his.

The young girl felt a heavier weight on her and groaned weakly and drowsily. A hand caressed her body tenderly. She tried to resist but she was too weak to do so. The man’s hand found its way under her revealing dress. His firm lips engulfed hers in a passionate and fierce kiss. His mouth left her lips and explored other parts of her body. She wanted to resist. Yes, she wanted to. But she was too weak. She was being taken advantage of.

Frank, one of Noah’s guards smiled to himself. He has carried out the task assigned to him by his old master, Joshua Harper who was also Noah’s father. Joshua Harper was worried about his son, Noah. A lot of tongues were wagging saying that Noah was gay. Noah wasn’t moved. He didn’t even flinch but Joshua was disturbed. He had arranged several women in the past but Noah rejected them all. A single touch from a woman was enough to disgust him.

That morning, a brilliant thought had occurred to Joshua. He instructed Frank to arrange a woman and drug Noah with an aphrodisiac.

Just then, Frank’s phone rang. He looked at the caller ID and shivered. This was the girl he had arranged for Noah! He picked up the call with trembling fingers.

“Hello,” he called out immediately

“I am sincerely sorry I am late. I had a bit of issues. But I am downstairs right now. Come and show me in,” the young girl said.

Frank was momentarily struck dumb. He was sure a lady was in there with his master. Noah was having a nice time under the influence of the drug. How come the arranged girl was yet to go in? Who could be in there?

Noah rose as the sun rose in the morning. The bright rays of the sun hit his handsome face from the window. He opened his eyes and felt something or someone on him. His arms were wrapped around a petite and beautiful figure. A girl! His eyes widened. And again, they were both naked. What could have happened? His memory came to his rescue and didn’t fail him this time. He remembered the happenings of the previous night. He squeezed his face in anger. He stood up from the bed as quietly as he could and went into the bathroom. He had a thorough bath as if to scrub off every trace of the slut from his body.

Emily woke up and tried to stand up. But she couldn’t, her body ached all over and she was in pains. She also realized she was naked.

“Oh my gosh! what have I done? What happened to me?” she screamed. No. She had been raped. She had lost her virginity in a dishonorable way and to a strange man. Her memories about last night was vague. She only remembered someone on top of her body. His face wasn’t clear under the dim red light in the room. He had explored every single bit of her body and had taken her to cloud 9. She was too weak to resist him. She thought of her wedding which was supposed to be the following day. She knew she was doomed. She quickly reached for her clothes and hurried home.

“Welcome dear sister. How was last night?” Rose mocked as soon as Emily stepped into the house.

“So it was you, how dare you!” Emily responded in anger.

Rose laughed again. “You should be grateful to me, you silly brat. I helped you seal a deal. You are finally going to be Mrs Mason. Get ready for your wedding tomorrow.”

Emily’s heart sank. She frowned. So, it was Jayden last night. She suddenly became angry. She was so angry that she gave Rose a dirty slap.

“What? How dare you!” Rose screamed. “Mother?” she continued , calling her mother for help. Rose raised her hand to hit Emily but her mother stopped her hands in the air.

“No, my dear child. Don’t hurt your hands hitting her. Moreover, we can’t let her carry a ruined face to the wedding. We might lose the five million dollars,” Olivia said calming her daughter.

Olivia’s phone rang at that point. She looked at the caller ID and it was an unknown caller. She slid her hands across the screen and picked it up.

“Why didn’t you send your daughter to me last night?” an angry voice spoke from the other end as soon as the call connected. It was Jayden.

“I did. She was…” Olivia tried to explain but the line was dead. Rose looked at her mother, puzzled. Everything was on standstill for the next ten seconds. Rose took out her phone and dailed a number.

“I paid you to send her to his room. Didn’t you do so?”Property © NôvelDrama.Org.

“I did. I sent her to room 303 as you instructed,” the man on the phone reported.

Rose’s mouth fell open.

“303? I said 203.”

Emily looked at her sister in bewilderment. If it wasn’t Jayden, who could it have been?
