Waking Up Married

Two

Stella's P.O.V

I woke up with a pounding headache. I felt like throwing up at this point. I got up and ran to the bathroom. I threw up a bit as I groaned in disgust.

"Are you alright?" I heard a man ask me.

"I'm fine. I just too much to drink," I told him.

I froze a little as I realized something. I don't remember going out with a guy. I flushed the toilet and washed my mouth and hands at the sink. I walked over to see a handsome guy with some Advil and water. He was in some plain white shirt and briefs.

"For you," He smiled, handing me the water and Advil.

"Thanks," I said confused. I took the Advil and drank it down with the water. I noticed something on my finger making me look down at it. I saw a big, expensive ring on my left finger making me look back up at the guy.

"What the hell happened last night?" I asked him.

"Apparently, we are married," He told me.

"Who are you?" I asked him.

"You don't watch the news much, huh?"

"Only to check the weather. I'm only asking because I still feel a little dizzy and still processing everything in," I told him honestly. I was too tired to come up with a good, snarky comment. He chuckled at me as he leaned back against the counter.

"I'm Jasper Kline. I'm the CEO of the Kline Industries," He introduced himself.

"Oh. Now I know you. I've heard of your company. You make almost everything and you're quite a player," I said.

"Indeed."

"Well, I'm Stella Matthews. I should be getting back to my friends," I told him.

"May I drop you off then? I should at least know that my wife is safe with her friends," Jasper told me.

"Look, this was a drunken mistake. Can you just send me the divorce papers and you can go back to being a playboy and I can go back to my normal life?" I asked him.

"Light problem there," Jasper told me.

"What?" I asked confused.

"My parents wanted me to get married and almost set up an arrange marriage for me. However, I lied to them saying that I had a hidden girlfriend who I was planning to propose to," Jasper told me.

"So you want me to stay as your wife so you can get out of an arrange marriage?" I asked him.

"Yes. I will even pay for anything you need or want," He told me.

"You honestly do not need to do that," I told him.

"I want to. Think of it as a little reward as you are helping me through this," Jasper told me. I stayed silent for a bit.

"How long do you want me to be your wife?" I asked him.

"As long as they're convinced."

"What if I meet someone new and fall for them?" I asked.

"Then that could be used as a small sign that I focus too much on my work," Jasper told me.

"I'm not sure if I want to do this. I mean, you're on the news every single day and I'm not sure if I can handle that kind of pressure," I told him.

"I can protect you from that," Jasper promised.

"We should talk about this more when I'm more awake," I told him.

"I agree. Come on. I'll drop you off at your hotel," He told me.

"Thank you."

The car ride was silent. When we made it back to my hotel, Jasper stopped me for a bit.

"Here is my number. I need you to call me so we can discuss about this," Jasper said.

"Of course," I said before he handed me his card.

"Oh and one more thing," I looked back at him.

"Don't tell anyone about this agreement. Not even your friends or family," He said. I gave him a nod before getting out of the car and walking inside my hotel.
