The Billionaire Contracted Wife

When I arrived home I saw my friends waiting for me. Oh, shoot! I forgot. We have plans. I looked at my friends. They stood with their arms crossed and serious looks on their faces. They all look so ridiculous. I can’t help but laugh and rolled my area at them.

“Don’t you dare gave us an attitude you bitch!” Shain growled, sounding like an overbearing parent.

“What are you doing in my apartment again?” I asked them placing my hands on my hips.

“Oh hell,” Tiff said, tossing her long weave over her shoulder. Her ghetto was about to come out. “We should be asking you that.”

“Didn’t we agreed to this last week, no latecomers, but here you are didn’t even budge and did not come,” Mira said.

We made a plan last week that we will be having a morning gig at Shain’s house. It was something that we do once a month. It’s like a squad morning party.

“Okay okay. I’m sorry, I forgot. I got pre-occupied about finding a new job.” I said as I looked over to find Layla, but I can’t find her.

“I’m here you little itchy bitchy,” said the woman I’ve been trying to look. She walked straight out of my room.

“So tell us, where have you been that we couldn’t d even contact you?” Tiff asked.

“Hmm. As I was saying, I was out trying to find a new job.” I explained.

Mira and Shain stayed quiet, silently glaring at me, while Tiff is the one interrogating me.

“And then?” Tiff asked again.

“Luckily, I found one.”

“Oh lucky you. In just half a day, you already have a job. So tell us, what kind of job is it that you have to diss out our gig?” Tiff once again. This woman is a question-asker machine. I’m starting to hate this girl, as a joke.

“A contract wife” I bluntly said that shock them and made their eyes bigger than it is.

“What the fuck?!” Mira shouted. I blink. For how many years I had known Mira, this is the very first time I heard her cuss.

Everybody was shocked at her reaction and Tiff almost fell from the sofa because of what I said.

“What contract wife? To whom?” Layla ask.

I started to walk towards them and also sat on the sofa.

“I haven’t decided yet if I will take the job or not,” I said as I sat down on the sofa beside Tiff.

“Why? Is it because the man you’re about to marry is already an oldie? That’s an ew! ” Shain said and made a face like she was about to vomit. I glared at her for what she said.

“Can you please stop it?” I said.

“What? I’m just saying my opinion girl. I also wouldn’t take that kind of job even if he offers me a million dollars, duh! Imagine, you will be sleeping together with a granny.” she added.

“So why can’t you take it? I thought you badly need a job?” asked Layla.

“Okay, so the job is to be a contract wife. Zera said that I will be given a salary weekly worth 250 thousand, a weekly allowance, a car, and a place to stay in.” I explained to them.

They all looked at me wearing their serious faces.

“You are not kidding, right? And who’s Zera?” It’s Tiff.

“I hope I do but I don’t. And Zera is an employee of the person that I am going to marry”Text property © Nôvel(D)ra/ma.Org.

“So, who’s this person anyway? I’m really curious to know this guy. Like, why can’t he marry his girlfriend.” Mira said.

“As if he has one, what if he doesn’t,” Layla answered.

“Zera said the guys’ name is Cayne Shelton. It sounds familiar to me but I don’t know him.” I said.

They all look at me with so much shock ness on their faces. What’s the problem with these girls? They all look hilarious with their reactions.

“Holy motherfucker, son of a bitch!” Mira cursed as if it was her last day on earth.

“Hey! You cursed a lot now huh. What has gotten into you?” I said trying to stand up and planning to go to my room but they all stopped me.

“You said Cayne Shelton right? Are you serious that you don’t know him? Seriously?” Tiff asks unbelievably.

I nodded as a sign of saying yes to her question.

“Girl, you just hit a jackpot!” Layla grumbled.

“What are you all talking about? What jackpot?” I asked as I’ve known nothing.

“Are you dumb? Or just plain stupid? It’s Cayne Shelton, you moron!” Shain exaggeratedly said.

“Oh yes, Cayne Shelton is his name. So what now? Is he some kind of a tycoon? A billionaire or so whatever?” I said and rolled my eyes at them.

My god! Their reactions are irritating me and it’s killing me to hell. So what if he’s Cayne Shelton? I don’t even know him. Not even a single thing.

“Because he is you dumbass,” Mira grumbled irritatedly.

I looked at them with so much shock.

“Eyes here you itchy bitchy.” Layla said, holding out her phone with a news of Weekly News. The front-page picture was a man in his black suit holding the door of his Lamborghini. He has this strict and sexy aura revolving all over his body. He looks so damn hot!

And I suddenly remember him.

“Oh my God!” I said as I put both of my hands on my mouth.

“Yes, it’s oh my god. It’s Cayne fuckin Shelton,” Tiff breathed, shaking her head. “He is one fine ass piece of white chocolate.” She fanned herself.

“Damn right.” Shaina agreed looking at me in envy.

“Fuck, I wish it was me. I could’ve said yes instantly to that girl employee of him.” Layla fudged with an envious voice.

“Let me tell you bitches, if it was me I would done some things to him. Very awesome and amazing things.” Mira said and laughed. We also laughed at what she said except Tiff.

“Eww, Mira.” She jeered, swatting her in the arm.

“Bitch, shut the fuck up,” Shain said while grinning. “I know you want to jump the bones off that hot ass billionaire if you could.”

Tiff just shooked her head at her, looking thoroughly embarrassed.

Things fell back into a playful conversation. They were all joking and acting silly.

My friends left my apartment when I suddenly received a call from a unknown number. I grabbed my phone to answer it.

“Hello?”

“Hey Miss Raszhiel,” the other line answered.

It’s Zera.

“Oh yes.”

She ask me if I have already made up my mind. I also told her that I will take the job and she said that we will be meeting at the cafe near the bus station tomorrow to discuss about the contract then signed them. I answered yes and then she hangs up.

So, this is no turning back now.
