HIS HIRED BRIDE

CHAPTER - 19

"There are some people who could hear you speak thousand words and still don't understand you and then there are others who will understand without you speaking."

AVA WILSON P.O.V

"Don't you dare to dip it." Marcello's face scrunched in disgust and I held my heart as it was beating so furiously.

"Are you mad?" I gritted my teeth, calming my heart down.

"Are you mad?" He retorted with a scowl. "Who eats like this? You are dipping everything on that stupid latte of yours."

"So what?" I snapped.

"Do you have any problems?" I gritted my teeth taking a bite of the scramble eggs. "If yes, then deal with it yourself."

I intensely took my fries again and dipped it more, taking the whip cream and licking it, staring at Marcello's face.

He gagged and turned his face down.

"I have a condition." I wiped my lips and spoke. He raises his brows asking me to continue.

"Fake or real. Marriage is Marriage. I don't want you and your mistresses doing any dirty deed in the house where I will be staying." I said feeling a rush of anger at the image of today's morning.

"If I caught you doing any appropriate things, I will back out from this deal. You and your contract can go to hell because I won't stand if someone stabs my self respect. I will leave you then and there. You can do whatever the hell you want." I challenged him with narrowed eyes.

He smiled smugly at me "That won't be a problem. "I don't like to bring my romantic affairs at home and after marriage I can promise you that you won't have to face humiliation. But if you want to taste this" He points a finger at himself with a proud smile "be my guest."

It was my turn to gagged "No thank you. I don't like to sleep with an arrogant stiff ass. I will be all cold and emotionless afterwards. Now coming to this topic, how did your women sleep with a stone, didn't they try something more humanly?" I stuck my tongue while making a nauseous face.

Holy s**t! Did I just say this to him?

What the hell happened to you, Ava. Why can't you f*****g control your tongue infront of him.

I swear I was not this blunt.

But truth to be told, Marcello Trocelli is enough to trigger the worst of my temper. I was saying things which I couldn't even dream of saying to someone else.

But instead of getting riled up his mouth turned up in one corner and he smirked looking at me "Wouldn't you like to know? Test it yourself."

phew....Marcello Trocelli, the billionaire can also flirt.

Impressive!

He angered me more when he grinned further.

"Have I told you, how much I hate you Mr. Trocelli?"

"No. But your mouth did a pretty good job." He answered with a husky laugh.

I scoff returning to my breakfast. He was doing a great job replying to my insult. But let's see, how far can he tempt me.

"Mr. Harper didn't warn me about this? She must have forgotten to inform me." He sipped his coffee making me stop chewing.

"What?"

"About your Bipolar personality disorder." His eyes twinkle as I fisted the fork more tighter thinking it was his neck. He gave me a wink and sipped his coffee again, making me clench my jaw.

"I forgot to inform you we are meeting my parents tomorrow. They are coming back from Italy. I thought we should announce it during the family brunch which you are also attending with me." He informed me by putting his cup down.

My heart constricted at the thought of meeting his parents and lying to their face. How would they react if they got to know about this deal?

"I can't. I have to work at the shop." I said.

He scowled. "Page 2. Clause 15. You have to quit your jobs when you marry me."

"I know." I nodded, finishing my fries "When I marry you, not before. I have one week to settle all the things and it's not easy to find someone trustworthy."

Marcello gritted his teeth "I told you we are going to marry at the end of this week. And it's already Monday. From tomorrow morning you will be plastered in all tabloids. I don't want my fiance to work in a small flower shop. It will create a big mess."

I rolled my eyes "What's wrong with that, if I work in my own damn shop. Didn't we meet there? Our so-called love bloomed like flowers. Give it a romantic spin. It will be more real, people will think how much you are in love with me that you are marrying a florist."

"I'm not in love with you." He gritted out.

"I didn't mean that." I snapped irritatedly "It's written on that damn contract. And it makes a great story for people to know it is real."

He scoffed, "We could say, we both clicked instantly and decided to marry each other."

"And?" I asked raising my brows "why not push your father under the bus. Let's just say, you were being threatened to lose your chair, so you paid me one billion dollars and bingo here we are happily married." I sarcastically replied.

"Alright, enough!" His voice barely rose in volume as he sighs and swallows his ego "You have made your point clear. You have one week to do whatever you want. But just remember, from today you will be walking with my name. I don't want the media to publish how my bride is doing dirty work behind my back.

"And yes, if you have any rom-" he cleared his throat "romantic relationship going on then be over it. I don't want to read how my fiance is cheating on me."

"Charming as always." I gave him a lip tight smile. "Don't worry, I don't do relationships. It's not for me." I shrugged.

"So that means you do a one night stand?" He meekly utters and I glare at him "I can also kick very hard. You know it. Don't you?"

"I can manage one year without my brain. It's better than damaging my balls." He replied with a pained face.

"Can we please stop this now." He arched his eyebrows at me.

I tilted my chin. "Only because you provoked me first. But I agree with you. I cannot damage your whole ego today only. I have one full year to achieve my dying wish." I purr with sarcasm and he shook his head with a smile which he covered up immediately.

And in that moment, despite our many quarrels and polar opposite personalities, an understanding clicked between us.

I smiled and his own eye twinkle in humor, making me shake my head.
