Mixed Love

Marriage for show

Alexander POV

I arrived at La Bella 20 minutes later to find all of them sitting there drinking and talking. Jennifer looked like she was fuming with smoking coming out of her ears. I smirked at her as I sat down to join them and signaled the waiter over to order a drink. I ordered a Manhattan and caviar to enjoy as I went over the revised contract with them all. Once the waiter left, I passed out the contracts to each of them and they read it over.

Before the restaurant, I had to head back to my office to make one last adjustment to the contract which was that Jennifer was not allowed to harass nor talk to Zaria at any means or the contract will be null and void. I needed to make that little adjustment to ensure that Zaria was left alone. There was no way that I was going to leave her along once I came back

Once they read the contract the first to speak up was Jennifer.

“What makes you think I’m going to agree with this contract” she said.

Her father spoke up next “Why wouldn’t you agree to this contract, this is just a business contract not for you to find love. There are plenty of men and women who you have been interested in before like this. Apparently, he is not that into so do not make this even harder for us” he said to her sternly while taking a sip of his Martini.

My father and mother looked at each other shrugged their shoulders and signed the contracts. Jake also signed the contract as well and so did I the only odd ball left was Jennifer. We all didn’t see what the problem was, but obviously there was a problem with the contract. Jennifer stood up with the contract and looked at each of them and said:

“Why are you all going along with this, this is not what we all agreed on. We agreed on us getting our business back yes, but we also agreed on me being Mrs. Knight forever and bearing children to stay afloat. So why did you all just sign this like it was nothing”.

Her father tried to hush her but she had already said what she said. Then they all looked at me and I was fuming and blood shot red.

I said, “What the hell is she talking about” I boomed out once she was finished.

She had realized what she said and sat down fearful about letting that slip out of her mouth.

My mother spoke up and said “There is no way that we agreed to that son, yes we agreed on you guys getting married for the sake of their business not for the sake of our grandkids. We want you to have children on your terms not ours. We only signed contracts for their business to get back up and running in two years that’s it. We have the contract to prove that, unless they signed a contract of their own that we didn’t know about”.

I believed my parents they would never lie to me, keeping secrets was something they were known for so I wasn’t to mad at them for that it is who they are. Jake and Jennifer, I didn’t know them at all and didn’t intend to get to know them either.

I said loudly to the two them “What the f*ck is she talking about, you can tell me now Jake or I’m ripping up these contracts right now”.

Jake started before I grabbed the papers to rip them up.

“Look Alex I didn’t want things to be this way, but in order for us to keep our business afloat we need money coming in constantly. We need the trust worthiness and good tenure of an awesome backer, and that is where you would come in. Jennifer came up with the idea of bearing children so that way money was always coming in as second option if we couldn’t achieve what we wanted otherwise. You are interested in helping us so I do not mind the help nor the revisions to the contract” he said.

“Good so have your daughter in line with the rest of you and keep things pushing. By the way I already have someone that is bearing my child. So no thank you Jennifer I don’t want a w***e being the mother to my children” I said. I finished my drink and caviar and stood up to leave. “Sign the contract Jennifer so we can get all of this over with. You guys want your business back I can help with that. All the extra you’ll have to find someone else for” I said and then departed.

As I left I got a phone call from Marcus saying he needed to meet me urgently. I agreed and went to meet him at his house. When I arrived I seen Zach was there as well so I went in. They were both in his office when I arrived so I went in poured me a drink and sat down.

“What’s so important that we needed to meet urgently” I said putting emphasis on urgently. “You’re going to be thanking me later once you find out what I know” he said.

“Okay let me have it, what do you have to show me?! I could be tasting me some sweet sweet Zaria right now” I said.

He threw me an envelope and said “look at this sh*t you won’t believe what I found out”

So I ripped open the envelope to find my soon to be wife in a very compromising position with not one guy but two guys. I almost spit out my drink when I seen the photos.

“Damn she really is a h*e. I was as least trying to give her a little credit, but I guess not. Thanks bro I can definitely use this in my case against her. This will definitely make her sign the contract” I said.

They both said “what, she had a problem with signing the revised contract” in unison I might add.

“Then had the nerve to tell me she had plans for me to get her pregnant so they can have a steady stream of money coming in. She apparently wanted to be with me forever” as she put it I said.

“Damn she really is crazy, and your a$$ has to deal with her for a year” Marcus said.

“Bullsh*t I do, I won’t be staying with her at night. We only going out together to business functions and nothing more. This really will be a marriage for show” I said to the both of them while sipping my Scotch.

“Well good luck to you brother, cause you will need it after what you’re about to go through and hopefully Zaria is up for the ride” Zach said.

“Yea she’s not on board, but she doesn’t know that I put that clause about her in the contract either. I’m just hoping she says yes to the personal assistant position” I said.

We sat and talked with each other for about a hour or so before calling it quits and going our separate ways. There was no way I was going home. I called Zaria and hoped she answered because I didn’t want to stay at my house tonight. After the third ring she answered in the most sexy sleepy voice ever and I knew from there I wanted to spend the rest of my life with her hearing her voice.
