CONTRACT MARRIAGE.

ASTRAL'S POV CONTINUES.

" What did you say?" I asked, to be sure, I was not hearing double. ' Was this guy, crazy?' I wondered.

" I am willing to offer you a contract marriage" He said, and I scoffed in disbelief.

" You are making it seem like, I am asking you, for some type of compensation" I told him.

" I know, what your greatest desire is" He said, and I froze.

" What?" I asked.

" I had, my secretary, investigate you, while we were getting married" He said, and I , at his shameless.

' Who does he think, he is?' I thought.

" That is lack of privacy" I pointed out to him, just Incase, he did not know, or he had forgotten.gasped

" My apologies about that, but I needed to know, who I was getting married to, to ensure I was safe" He told me and I threw him, an icy glare.

" Well, I never asked you to get married to me, you tricked me" I reminded him, Incase he had forgotten and he sighed.

" I know, your life time wish, is to become the most successful actress in the world, and give your mum, a better life" He said, and I gulped.

" Am I correct?" He asked with a grin, and I threw my face away, from him.

" I can give you all these, and more, if you would agree to this contract" He said, and I turned to look at him.

" Why?" I asked. " Why do you want me to get into a contracted marriage with you?" I asked again, because I couldn't understand why.

" The press are not stupid. We cannot suddenly break up immediately after the wedding, which is why, this contract would only last a year" He said.

" That way, they would not suspect anything" He added, and I nodded in understanding.

" Who are you really?" I asked curiously, moving closer alittle to him.

" Gael Robert" He replied, without a care, and I gasped.

" You are Gael Robert?" I asked, not wanting to believe him, then he threw me a smirk, causing me to recollect, exactly where I saw him. It was on TV, about his upcoming wedding, with Ashely. One of the top models in the world.

'I mistakenly, got married to the most successful young billionaire in the world, and now, he was offering me a contract marriage?' I thought. ' Would I not be a fool to refuse?' I wondered.

" So, do you agree?" He asked, but I kept silent, wondering, whether I could trust him, to keep his words.

" You need not to worry" He said. " I always keep to my words, beside we would be signing a contract, wouldn't we?" He asked, as if, reading my thoughts.

" This is an opportunity of a lifetime" My subconscious whispered, and i decided right then, to go along with the contract marriage, since it was just for a year.

" Alright" I said. " I agreed to it" I told him, and he threw me a victorious smile.

" That is more like it" He said.

" But, I do have some rules, you would keep" I told him, and he frowned, arching an eyebrow at me.

" What are they?" He asked. I was about to tell him, when the door, suddenly burst open, loudly. I was so startled, I jumped up to my feet immediately, same as Gael. We both turned towards the door, and I saw two elderly people standing there. A handsome man, who looked like the older version of Gael, and an elderly, woman, who stood beside the man, elegantly, with an arrogant look.

She looked at Gael, before turning to look at me. Her gaze were filled, with fury, and irritation, towards me, and I found myself wondering why. I guess, they must be Gael's parents. Just then, Donald appeared from behind them.

" I am so sorry sir, for the intrusion. I tried stopping them, but they forced their way in" Donald hurriedly explained, and the woman scoffed, before turning to throw Donald, a look filled with bale.

" And who are you, to tell us, when or not, we can see our son?" She asked, furiously.

" Do not blame him mother, I told him to stop anyone from coming in" Donald said.

" As your secretary, he should be smart enough, to know, that does not apply to your parents" His mother commented, harshly and I shivered, knowing she must be a stern woman.

" Actually it does, mother" Gael replied, and his mother had on a look of horror immediately. She then turned to the man beside her.

" How can Gael be this rude to us?" She yelped.

" You should be more respectful to your mother, Gael" His father scolded him, but all Gael did was put on a smirk.

" Good afternoon" I greeted them, with a bow.

" Afternoon, my dear" Gael father responded to me with a smile, while Gael's mother just ignored me, with a huff.

" Father, mother" He called. " Why are you all here?" He asked, folding his arms, behind his back.

" We are here to discuss something with you" His father replied.

" Go ahead, I am all ears" He told them, and his father was about to talk, but Gael's mum stopped him.

" We have an intruder here" She said, and I gasped.

' Was she perhaps referring to me?' I wondered in disbelief. She then turn to me, with an evil grin.

" Please make use of the door, we are about to have a family meeting, whereby Intruders are not allowed" She said, and I found myself arching eyebrow at her, in shock.

" Mum" " Sweetheart" Both Gael and his father called out to her. She just shrugged at them, while still looking at me.

" It's okay" I told them, before bowing, and excusing myself, along with Donald.

' Why was Mrs Robert acting hostile towards me?' I wondered.

I stood outside, waiting for Gael to finish with his parents, so we could discuss more things. Just then, I heard a voice call me.

" Astral".
