ARE YOU DUMB

Lilith, who was holding the paper in her hands with nervousness, forced herself to be calm and read through it and for a couple of minutes, she was still reading through the damn contract, which pissed off Aldan.

"How long does it take you to read through the damn paper? Are you dumb or just stupid, even a child will know what's written in there. If you can't read or don't understand what's written in there, drop down the paper on the table and get out of my sight, so I can look for someone else who's more capable of this job." He said furiously, but his voice was calm and dangerous, which sent a chill down their spine.

"I'm sorry, Sir." She quickly apologized.

He ignored her and turned towards Madame Lucille. "Did I come here to hire a dumb bitch and for you to stress me?"

"I'm sorry, sir. She's just…" she turned towards Lilith with a glare. "Read it and tell him what you understand or else, I will throw you out of here and feed you to the dogs." She threatened. She was not going to lose her business for a dumb bitch either.

Lilith nodded. Her hands were getting sweaty, she shouldn't have agreed to this job, she thought. Lilith read the contract aloud, her voice almost breaking in anxiousness.

She began. " 1. I should not tell anyone of my true identity…"

Aldan halted as he continued her statement. "And, number 2. You should not have sex with anyone until the duration is over and failure to do so will warrant $50,000.

3. You should not mingle with any of the families of Mr Aldan. Failure to do so will warrant a sum of $100,000.

4. You should always stick to his side and dress moderately wherever you are with him and you must not have any form of interaction with people he will be interacting with. Failure to do so will warrant a sum of $500,000.

5. Don't stress Mr Aldan, so much. You are to do whatever he tells you to do. Failure to do so will warrant a sum of $1,000000.

6. You are to act as his fiancée, know what to say and know not what to say, do as you are instructed. Failure to do so will warrant a sum of two million dollars.

7. There will not be any sexual contact between you two, you shall be his date for the week with every instruction being given and gain a sum of five million dollars and pretend like, you've never seen him or heard of him before. And, if a word should get out that you were his fake date and feigned like his fiancée, you will be put in jail for as long as he wants you to and still pay the sum of ten million dollars for time, disruptions and damages.

8. At Least, but still the least. DO NOT FALL IN LOVE OR SAY ANY SORT OF CONFESSIONS TO HIM, FAILURE TO DO WILL WARRANT A SUM OF A HUNDRED MILLION DOLLARS." He raised his eyebrows at her, "Is that okay by you, stupid."

Lilith quickly nodded and looked into his eyes. He was so handsome and his eyes were breathtaking as he looked at her, which made her heart skip a beat. How could someone, this handsome as he is, be a Mafia. Well, she had heard a lot about him and Madam Lucille was right about him. He seems intelligent, he just listed exactly, according to what was on the contract without even checking it or seeing what was in it for himself.

She fancied him.

His arrogance, attitude, character and how rudely he talks, made him hot and sexy to Lilith. No matter how he talked and the manner he interacted with her, she wasn't angry one bit. If it was any other person, she would have gotten furious, yet, with him, it was different for her.

Fall in love.

She almost snickered at him, no, she was kind of scared of him, but she can never fall in love with him, not like, she believes in that crap, anyway.

She was a bit nervous and hoped this would be over immediately, so she could pay her bills which were already due for rent.

She had just come from school, done with her lectures when Madam Lucille called for her and told her to come in immediately.

"Why should I come immediately,' she rolled her eyes as she rolled her eyes over the phone. If Madam Lucille were to see her roll her eyes at her, she would get mad at her and deny her important jobs, which will affect her so greatly.

Glad, she was not here to see that.

"What kind of a question is that? She snapped. "I know that you like to be always picky, that's why I don't always come to you for jobs. However, the reason why I called you, is because this job is going to be great and in which you will get a good income from it."

"OK, I'm all ears,' she said. Then, Madam Lucille told her everything about it. "Then, that's how I will come in and be his date for a week. Who is he anyway?" She relevantly asked?

"He is a billionaire, the famous and dangerous Mafia in the city, you should have heard of him by now, his name is Aldan Abbot.'' She revealed.

Lilith thought for a second. Her eyes widened at the realization of who the Mafia was, she had heard a lot about him and he was well-liked and loaded too. But his character and attitude make people so terrified of him and he was also a loan shark.

He was known as the famous handsome Mafia, who was a bloody civilian and never gave a damn about anyone.

However, no one knows where he comes from or who he is.

He was one mysterious guy.

Aldan Abbot.

"Why are you so silent on the phone? Haven't you heard about him from anywhere? Quit wasting my time, he's gonna be here soon and doesn't like anyone wasting his time, even a slight mistake could cost me my business." She aggressively said.

"Calm down, Madam Lucille,' she sighed.

"This isn't the time to be calm. He will be here any minute from now and you've got to hurry up,'

"Can't you look for someone else, I'm pretty stressed up and tired, besides I don't want to escort a Mafia and be..."

"You will only be on a date for a week, why are you this obstinate? He's going to pay a huge amount of money, that guy is well loaded and he's ready to pay any amount to you and that money can cover up twelve months of your bills or even a couple of years without working. Do you know what that means for you, Lilith? Any girl will take this opportunity and grab it, using it to make a good amount of money and not throw away this opportunity." She warned.

"I'm not throwing away any opportunity, I'm just not…"

"Don't tell me such a thing. You need money, Lilith and don't slack off this job that I'm going to give you because you want to be picky and don't play with me. Remember you still owe me a huge amount of money, you used in paying for your medical bills or rather your Mother's medical bills and your debts. And, remember how you begged me and wailed all over the place, to lend you that money and you agreed to it. So, I've brought out a good deal for you, so you can pay me back my money in full and don't push me to do something so devilish to you. I need back my money as soon as possible and you are to provide that for me, I can't find someone else at the moment, you are the only perfect candidate for me at this moment. Now, I want to see you this instant, don't delay me." She angrily said and hung up on her.

Lilith just stared at the phone for some seconds and proceeded to get up and quickly dress up, she had to go there on time or else it would piss her off and Madam Lucille would increase her debt and continue using her to make more money for herself and continue to increase her debts.

She was in for some deep trouble and wasn't in the mood for it.

She sighed.

What else can she do? She could feel her hands tremble a little, because of this man she was going to meet and this was way over it, each and beyond.

"Yes, Sir. It's okay by me,' she agreed as she gave a slight bow. Andrew came forward and handed her a pen to put in her signature. Lilith took it and put the paper on the table and gently held the pen and stared at it, hesitating and then, she signed it.

She just signed the contract and was his date for the week.
