Amaya’s POV…
He walked me into the house, I wiped my tears, I didn’t want him to know that I have been crying, I would rather not look sad or pathetic, and I didn’t want anyone to feel sad for me, I stayed on the carpet before of the water that dropped off my body, my eyes glanced around his room, it was beautiful, and it was big, it was site spacious and luxurious, and it was nothing compared to my apartment, it was pure pleasure here and it felt good.
He glanced at me before he walked further into the house, I was still standing there when my eyes caught something, it was a glass of coffee from the table, and there was a blanket there, the chair was facing the glass window.
Was he watching me, did he know I was here all these while?
It can’t be; he may be mean and arrogant, but he will not watch me get wet and get sick while he is sipping his coffee, I hated his guts, but I wanted to believe that he is not that much of a terrible person and maybe just maybe he would not cross the line and do something like that.
I was pulled out of my thoughts when he headed toward me, and he handed me over the towel, I glanced at his hands and I saw some fresh clothes, that was good of me.
“Don’t wet my floor, it’s quite expensive and you can change in the bathroom over there, and when you are done, we can talk.” He said, his tone was short and harsh, and I watched as he headed roar at headed toward his seat, and he sat down,
“How long have you been sighing over there, did you watch me ever down the taxi.” I asked with a frown on my face, he turned his face around, and he smirked, he didn’t have to say anything, one look at his face, I knew that he saw me, and he watched everything, I am not going to give him the satisfaction of yelling at him, I am not going to give him the satisfaction of getting mad and speaking to him.
I am not sure eh will care, I came here for a business deal, and I am going to get one; I didn’t speak, instead I headed into the bathroom, I took off my clothes, along with my bra and panties before I changed into a pair of shorts and a large shirt that covered half of my body, a breath escaped my lips when I folded the clothes and I kept them in one side of the bathroom.
Not only that, but I turned to look at my reflection one last time and I gave myself a smile, I van do this, I can all the way to here to speak to him and tell him that I wanted this to be done, and I am not leaving until I get what I want to hear, and until we make this official.
I headed back into the room, Adam was still in his position.
“Have a seat, Maya.” He mumbled, and I sat beside him, it was on another chair that was beside his, and he poured me a glass of whiskey, there is no way I am going to have a drink with him, I didn’t come here for that and mainly because I am a light weight, I had no control over myself when I drink, and I would rather not stay by this.
I didn’t like the way he was rude, it was like I was not even here, and he has a smug on his face, it made me hate him even more, if I didn’t have choice I would not have even here, and I would have told him to show his money up his ass, and you would have asked him to stay away from me; he was just another Harry in my life, maybe in worse, he is someone I don’t want to ever be with, and he is someone who believes he can get whatever he wants because of money.
I guess me being here is prove his point: as much as I hated it, I need the help of the arrogant billionaire.
“Are you going to tell me why I found you sitting by my porch, your clothes are soaked in rain, and why you have been crying.”
“I don’t think you care about that, the last one.” I whispered, “I their to call you a few times and I went to your workplace, I wanted to let you know that I want to take the deal, I am ready to be your wife for a year, and I am willing to take on the perks that come with the deal.” I said, I was almost disgusted by what I have just said and I hated myself.
“Drink”. He whispered; he pointed toward the glass, it’s like everything I had just said didn’t matter to him.
“You can’t tell me what to do, and I am not some dog you get to tell what to do, I am not going to drink because I don’t want to.” I said, I was trying hard to be nice, but he is getting on my nerves, and he was the one who asked what I wanted even though he is aware that he is the only reason that I am here, he was pretending about it and it annoyed me.
I did understand what is happening, I guess sitting on the porch made me think about a lot of things and it made me think about the fact that he could have asked anyone to be his wife, he is a billionaire, and he has a lot of connections, he could have done anything to asked anyone, and yet, he came for me; he asked me to do that, and he wanted me to; he is willing to offer a lot of money.
I didn’t understand why, I didn’t understand why he choose me and why he thinks I should be the only one to be his wife, I wanted to know why, and I am going to find out, I know I can’t ask him because he won’t tell me the truth, he would find a way to lie and pretend like he didn’t care.
“If this is going to work, you are going to have to listen to me, you are going to learn how to listen to every word I am going to say.” He said, and I rolled my eyes.
“It’s not going to happen, if you need a puppy you know where to get one, and you know that I am not a puppy, you make it seem like I am the only one that needs you when in reality. You would have asked for anyone to do this, many would do anything to be your wife, and yet, you asked me, someone you had just met some days ago.” I gritted through my teeth. “If you need someone to listen to you; you can go ahead and find one, just because I am going to agree to this, it doesn’t mean that I would lose everything just to be with you.”
“I should have expected this from you.” He said, and I rolled my eyes at you.
“Listen Adam. I need you and we both know that without your money I would be on the streets and I would have nothing, and look Adam I respect what you are going to offer and if we are going for for this, we have to make sure that I am not treated like a dog.” I said.
An hour ago if he has opened the door I would have begged him to agree to this deal and do whatever he wants but not right now, I have had time to think about it, and I am not going to sell my soul to him because of money, because of a better life and I have sold my souls before. I am not going to do that again, I am not going to let mauled get hurt, and I have to be smart.
Adam is a smart man, and he know what he wants, and I have to learn how to stop men from controlling me, I have had enough of that and Adam is going to learn we need each other, and I am not like the dumb girls he has dated before, I am going to stand on my ground, and I am going to let him know that if this is going to work, then we need respect.
I hope I am not making a mistake.
