Chapter 2

ANGELINA POV

✯✯✯✯✯

Today, it's my job's first day! It's already 7 p.m.

After having dinner. I decided to choose my outfit for work. I open my wardrobe and take out a black slim jean and a white long sleeves blouse and a pair of black high heels.

I rush for a shower, and I begin to get ready, after wearing my outfit, I put my hair in a ponytail, and applies some light shades of makeup.

After getting ready, I take my handbag, I went in the living room and wait for the driver to pick me.

I go through my phone, Mom was already asleep. Exactly at 8:50 p.m there was a knock at the door. I grab my handbag and rush to open the door. I open it and saw my dashing boss standing in front of the door. I got shivered after seeing him at my place.

"You were about to send a driver, right?" I ask him confusedly.

"Absolutely right Angelina!" He said with a smirk. He grabs me by the waist and take me towards his car.

"What are you doing!" I try to get out of his grip.

"You always have too many questions!" He stated while he opens the front door for me, then he sit on the driver's seat.

"Actually my driver is sick, and that's why I have come in to pick you." He stated as he starts the engine.

"Okay sir" I whisper.

"Angelina... don't call me sir, you'll call me sir only in the office! Outside the office just call me Steaves please." He said while looking in the front of the road.

"Okay Steaves" I nod.

"By the way as you are my PA now so get the use of the paparazzi, and media." He said.

"Oh I hate that!" I blurt out.

"I also hate that but it's about my reputation!" He claims.

I just nodded. We arrive at the club, he leave the car in the entrance itself as his bodyguard parked it.

We both enter inside the club walking through the corridor we get in the elevator, he press the 3rd button.

When we arrives at the third floor, he walk straight toward his office and I walk toward the kitchen in the corner to make his coffee.

I take his coffee and walk to his office, I knock on the door and hear a come in, and I open the door slowly just to make sure I don't spill the coffee. I walk toward his desk and place the coffee on his desk. He is working on his laptop.

"I thought you already forget about the coffee, but great job you didn't." He said, looking at his laptop screen.

"That's my job sir, I have to be careful!" I said kindly.

"Good" he said.

"Finishing all the files work in your cabin we'll go to the office on the first floor." He stated.

"Why Steaves! Oh, sorry I mean Sir!" I let out a small laugh but Steaves give a sharp look. "Sorry!" I let out a smile.

"Fine!" He meet my gazes.

"Okay sir, I'm going to my office." I said while I left from his office and went to mine. There is a lot of files laying on my table, I arrange them properly and start my work. After working for hours I heard someone from the back.

"Let's go" I turn to see Steaves standing at the door frame.

I stand up and grab my handbag. I follow him till we reach the first floor. There are 2 bodyguards standing in front of the door. He opens the door and ordered me to walk inside first. I stepped inside.

I can see a big glass which get the view of the club it's soundproof and it's a one way glass, nothing can be seen from other. It is funny to see people dancing without any music!

He closes the door behind him, we were all alone in the room. But I'm not afraid of him. If he does something to me, I'm going to kill him! Calm down Angelina.. I let out a breath.

"Take a seat Miss Dornan." He said coldly. I sit on the couch. As he opens his drawer and takes out a file full of papers.

He sat next to me on the couch. "You want to drink something?" He ask, there is a bar inside.

"No thanks!" I shook my head, giving him a smile.

"Now you're going to regret for meeting me, Miss Dornan." He said with a wild smile.

"What do you mean?" I ask confusedly. Why? Is he going to kill me, he is a murderer! No, he can't kill me. Then what does he want?

"Patience Angelina! You'll found out soon." He said coldly.

"Come to the point please , you're scaring me."

"You don't need to be scared, just assume it as your work or a deal." He smirked while meeting my gaze.

"What the hell are you talking about, I can't understand come to the point." I said as my eyes becomes teary. I can't cry in front of him but I don't have any choice he is freaking the hell out of me!

"So Miss Angelina Dornan, daughter of late Mr&mrs Dornan. The half owner of City's Fashion which is run by Ms Natalie Carter." He said with a smirk.

"Where did you get my biography?" I ask in frustration.

I've never let anyone find out about my personal life. Yes, I am the half owner of City's Fashion, but I never wanted to work there. There are many old memories which don't let me work properly. That's why I decided to be independent on my own and create my own career.

"I'm your boss, and I have the right of getting all your information." He said coldly.

"But why you needed my information?" I ask confusedly.

"My question is when you are already a wealthy person, and you already runs a company then why the hell are you working in my club?" He ask in frustration, running one of his hands through his hairs, he throw a glance at me.

"Those are my personal matters, so please Mr Giroud try to stay away from my personal life!" I speak, ignoring his gazes because I know he is glancing at me.

"How can I stay away , when you're going to be someone important for me!" He said with a smirk.

"What do you mean?" I ask being angry, he is annoying me now.

"Take those files and sign on them all! Make sure to read it properly." He said while handing me the files.

"What are those for?" I ask him immediately.

"A contract." He said. "Which contract?" I ask him. "It's a contract marriage." He said blankly.

"WHAT?" I blurt out.

"Yes!" he stated giving me I don't care look!

"It's a contract marriage for 2 years from now." He said with his hands in his pockets.

"But why you want me to sign this?" I ask him confusedly. Who the hell he is to control my life?

"You don't have any choice. You sign it or you'll lose your Mom Natalie forever! Choice is yours." He said wildly.

"But why me?" I have nothing in my mind, tears begins to roll down my cheeks.

"You're the perfect girl for becoming my wife for 2 years." He stated with a smirk.

"Why the hell do you need a wife for 2 years?" I ask with tears streaming down from my eyes.

He takes out his phone and dial a number "I think it's the perfect time, go and kill Ms Carter." He hang up.

"NO please Steaves don't do anything to my mother! Please I'm ready to sign the contract." I am already very scared! My mother is more important than this contract!

He gives me a pen, and he sit next to me "After you'll sign those papers. Then, I will arrange an engagement party and as soon as possible we'll proceed for the marriage ceremony." He said. Why he is in hurry! I hate him.

"The contract will be a fake marriage, but what about the marriage ceremony?" I questioned him.

"The marriage ceremony will be real." He said coldly.

I don't have any options, I can't put my mother's life in danger because of a contract. She is the only one for me, she means a lot to me.

I quietly take the pen and open the file and begin to sign the papers. After signing it, I clean my tears when I notice Steaves was standing with a box of tissue paper, and he gave me the box.

"You have sign the contract without reading it." He said with his hand in the pockets.

"You've already made my life a hell, what's the need of reading it now." I said.

"Angelina please forgive me if possible, just before questioning me why I did this remembers that I also have a hard situation." He said calmly.

"Whatever! I just care that my first marriage will be with someone to whom.. I don't love, and I was never ready of getting married." My voice became a little shaky.

He opens the door ,slamming it behind him, he left. I don't know what is his problem.

It's 2 a.m and my duty ends at 3 a.m and Steaves has not come back yet. No wonder where he is!

I take the contract which I've already sign and begin to read it. Wait! What are these points for!

•after you have signed the contract you will have to move in with your so-call husband.

•You will have to follow all his rules.

•you will be given your space and you will get your own bedroom.

•if ever during the 2 years you got pregnant the baby will be given to the father. "Holly shit! I knew he must have added something odd!"

• After every end of month you will get a large amount of money for pretending to be a wife. "I don't need your money! Mr Giroud!"

•things can get personal. "Just try to approach near me! I'll kill you."

•you will have to accompany your husband in any party or business event. "Sure! Why not."

What does he want from me, he only spotted me to be his wife, he must have thousands of girlfriends then why he choose me.

My phone begins to ring the caller id shows Steaves incoming call "Hello" "Come outside I'm waiting to drop you home." He said rudely and hang up.

I grab my handbag and make my way outside the office one of his bodyguard follows me. When I get outside, the parking lot is full, so many people are found in every corner.

While walking, I spot Steaves blue car, I walk till the car and open the door, and I get inside. I throw a look at him. I give him the contract "Here! And yes don't think I'm a weak girl, Mr Giroud!" I half smile. He glances at me once with a blank look.

We both remains silent, then I break the silence "I've already sign them." I said while placing the file on the car's board.

He just nodded.

"Please now don't harm my Mom." I told him worriedly.

"Nothing will happen to her." He said coldly. I Keep on looking at he while he look in front of the road.

"Will you please stop staring at me Angelina." He said in frustration.

"Sorry sir." I said as I turn at the window.

"You don't need to call me sir, how many times, I need to explain this to you." He said calmly.

I just nodded still not looking at him. I can't understand him, sometimes he behaves normal and then Suddenly, he start burning with anger, I don't know what's his problem.

"Otherwise you are my husband now according to the contract! Then I should call you by your name! Right?" I smirked at him. He nodded his head. What the hell! He is not saying a word.

He wants me to marry him, I want to question him but right now he is high tempered. Tomorrow, I will try to talk to him, maybe he can change his decision! That's impossible, but still I can try to talk with him.

He stop the car just in front of my house. "See you tomorrow morning I will be here to pick you." He said.

I open the door and step outside the car. "But why in the morning? My duty time starts at 9 p.m." I questioned him.

"We'll go for shopping, according to the contract you're my wife to be, till our marriage and everyone should know that you are my girlfriend now!." He said with a smirk.

"What the hell do you want with me." I yell at him as I shut his car's door loudly.

He came out of the car and comes in front of me. "You've already sign the contract, can please behave well or I kill your mother." He said angrily.

"No..no I'm sorry." I said calmly holding up my tears in the eyes, I try to avoid looking at him. "Bye I'm going, see you tomorrow." I turn and walk to the door.

"Don't even think that you would try to hide your tears from me, I know you are crying." He said, behind of me.

I ignore him, as I needed sometime to be alone and I quickly open the door and run to my bedroom. I drop my handbag on the floor and bury my face in the pillow and let all the tears flow from my eyes till I fall asleep.
