Candice Brooks :
☆☆☆
I was a simple girl who went to all-girls high school
Wearing the uniform skirt below my knee
Always tying my long brown hair into a braid, hiding my face in the crowd
broken nails, not liking to paint them or get it done
A girl you will never notice
That was me
Candice Brooks
A girl, who was an average student, who never fit into any group
I thought when I'll turn eighteen, my life will change
Because I wouldn't be a minor anymore
I will be legally an adult
I planned on to find myself a job as I'll not be a kid anymore
And some nice, good guy whom I can send cute messages to
Planned to work harder at my high school senior year, get into a good college
Earn myself a scholarship
That was the plan
But things changed
.
.
.
Changing schools and moving to New York was not the plan I had for my high school senior year
Similarly loosing my father was not also a plan
But it just happened
And my mother fell sick
We needed money to save her
And money was the only thing mattered to me
So when my uncle put the only solution to save us from our problems by asking me to get married to a billionaire for money which could pay our debts and save my mother
I was dumbfounded
A billionaire who was the termed as the Baddest teen and most scandalous
Xavier McQueen
A young billionaire, nineteen-year-old
They told me, it would be for a year
And in his big mansion I can stay away like I'm invisible
We can remain like we don't exist for each other
And by the end of the year
My mother's health expenses will be taken care off, as well as by both sisters education expenses, all our debts will be settled, and I can walk out of the marriage contract, rich
So I agreed, because I had no choice
I thought I could stay away from him,
I really thought that until I met him, in person
The ink on his skin intrigued me
like a devil's temptation
No maybe it's the opposite
It's the angel who tempts the devil
But the closer I saw, it wasn't the art he had inked on his skin
But it was his scars, he had covered with ink
Scars which were still breathing
Few on his skin, plenty inside of him
The only one word to explain Xavier was, bad
And one word to explain his behavior was,
angry
All he ever knew was,
Pain
Addiction
Violence and Fury
I could have stayed away from him
pretended like I don't care
But the truth was I cared
I did and still do
Because there were moments where we looked at each other and everything felt okay
And when the moments were over ….
We fell apart
Broken
Xavier McQueen:
¤¤¤¤¤¤
I never thought once that I'll be marrying at the age of nineteen while I am still in my high school year
School was the one of place I hated the most
My lawyers told me that marrying a girl will save the inheritance which was left behind by my adopted father, Roger McQueen
And they told we could stay away, not cross our paths in this year-old marriage
But the thing was I had never lived with women, my mother left me when I was to young
My father was abusive
And I came from a dark past
The shadow tagged along with me even though I don't belong there any more
They called them as scars on my skin which I hide under my inked art
But I termed them as my demons who lived inside me
No matter how hard I try they always win me over
Again, I fed them in the first place .
.
.

So I know nothing when it comes to treating a woman especially someone who is so innocent and pure like her
I'm like the monster who she sees in her nightmares
that's what the world think too
They call me bunch of names
Like fuckboi , player
Billionaire son and mostly I'm addressed as the Bad boy of the year
Thanks to my s*x montage which was leaked
At least that's what the tabloids used to write about me
The billionaire's bad boy son
But I'm not billionaire bad boy any more
I'm The billionaire now, and I need a wife to inherit it
And that's when my team came up with Candy , a girl who went to All girls boarding school
She was a holy angel while I stood as the sin she should stay away from
They thought she fit well to play the role of my wife and to pretend that we are in love in front of the crowd
Even I thought the same but …
She intrigued me
A innocence pure as white
Never partied in her whole life nor had s*x once
She was a virgin girl who went to pray every Sunday without fail and confessed her sins to the pastor , sins like when she raises her voice against someone and thinks she hurt them and feel sorry about.
She is too good for me, but she's in trouble, and she needs money
And then our paths crossed like it was meant to be
Like a straight line which got messed up in the middle
A contract marriage between us which came for a price and a duration of twelve months
At the beginning I thought we can go and attend the same school
Pretend like we don't know each other, sit in the same classroom, far away not giving a f**k about each other
And live in the same house as two strangers who never cross each other's path
But the minute my eyes landed on her curves which she always hides it from other's eyes with the help of her baggy clothes I question all of that of me staying away from her,
I have a reputation which revolves around my name
I thought I can hide those scars from her
But when she held me while I was burning from pain
There was no going back
I'm bad to be anywhere around her
But we are already married, legally
And for the next one year she is my wife
Carrying my name
For good or bad
For sickness or health
I take her as my lawfully wedded wife
And promise myself to stay the f**k away from her
