"Yo-Your what?!" She stuttered. She tried to clean her ears and rubbed her eyes. She even tried pinching herself waiting for the moment that she would be waking up on her bed. Unfortunately, she was still seated on the comfortable seat staring at the amazingly looking guy in front of her."My hire bride, Ms. Parker. You will be posing as my wife." He repeated with the same firmness on his voice.She stared crazily at him for a few seconds before harsh words exited her mouth. "Are you crazy? Me, get married, to you? Is this some kind of a sick joke?!""Look, I know it might be a little overwhelming and too much information for a day, but I need to find myself a bride and get married within the next three months." He explained."So you mean to tell me that we are getting married? In three months?!" She asked flabbergasted."Fake marriage, and that is, if you are willing to take this job. It's one in a life time chance, Miss Parker." He stated as the phrase kept ringing in her head.

Kelsey shook her head firmly and took a deep breath. When she felt like she was ready, she went inside the glass door and made her way to the booth."Good morning, Mr. King." She greeted formally with a tight smile on her face."Ahh, you're five minutes early. I'm impressed." He said nodding his head in the process. "Have a seat." He ordered as Kelsey sat on the connected booth across from him."Mr. King, I would-""First of all, if you're going to agree to this arrangement and accept my offer, I think you have to call me by my first name. It would be weird calling me so formally, is it not?" He asked with a raise eyebrow.Kelsey shot him a weirded look and shook her head. "Okay...Mason. I would like to hear your terms and see the contract, please.""Here." He said handing her a folder. "Everything is explained in there. How you would act as my wife, the story of how we met, and other relevant details. Do you need time to read the contract over?" He questioned as she started rea

The next day, Kelsey woke up at seven in the morning to get ready before Mason came. She took a bath and made sure she had everything she needed when she moves in with him.Yesterday, when she told her mother that she had to moved out, Hilda almost had a heart attack. It took Kelsey half an hour before fully calming her down. Hilda, of course, was against the idea of it but she knew how important it was for her daughter. She was devastated that her only daughter was leaving home. She really wasn't ready for all of these, but she knew that at one point in her life, her kids will grow up and leave. She was just too scared to let go."Are you sure you have everything?" Hilda asked as she watched her daughter from the door frame of her room."Yeah, I think I have everything. Besides, I'm only going to be gone for a short period of time, it's not like I'm actually going to go through this marriage." She explained as Hilda helped her close her luggages.Hilda let out a sighed. "What abo

Chapter 9 - The VisitMason followed Kelsey through the hall. It was still bothering him who they were visiting but it sure wasn't her father since they were in a children's hospital.Kelsey approached the counter and talked to the nurse. "Kelsey, it's so nice to see you again, hun. It has been a while." She greeted her."Yeah, I was really busy with work. Is he awake?" Kelsey asked her politely."Yes, just go in and surprise him. I'm sure he misses you a lot." The nurse said as Kelsey nodded and muttered a quick thank you to her. Kelsey made her way down the hall and Mason followed her. She knocked on the door and heard a voice inside giving her permission to go in.She peaked through the door as they heard a gasp. "Kelsey!""Hey." Kelsey greeted as she came in. She beckoned Mason in and he followed behind her awkwardly. Mason studied the thin bald boy in bed. An oxygen tank was placed beside him and a tube running to his nose. He was wearing a blue hospital robe and he was sit

Mason pulled up in front of his condo and the valet boy was waiting for him to give his car keys so he could park it for him.He twisted the key as the car's engine died and stopped roaring. He then glanced at the passenger seat, only to find Kelsey in a middle of a nap. Not wanting to disturb her from her sleep, he quietly shut the door closed and gave his key to the valet boy."Bring all the luggages to my room." He demanded as the valet boy nodded in return. Mason slowly opened the passenger door and unfastened Kelsey's seatbelt. He was having a debate in his head whether he should carry her in or wake her up.He was contemplating on what to do and he decided to go with his first choice. He slid his arms behind her legs and upper back and lifted her up. Kelsey groaned and stirred but her eyes remained close. He carried her in his condominium and some of his nosy neighbours whispered as they pass by. He ignored them as usual and entered his private elevator that went all the way

Kelsey heard the ringing of the doorbell startling her. She put the last pile of clothes in the drawer and closed it. She slowly stood up from the floor shaking her numb legs. She then started making her way down the stairs and saw the siblings greeting each other."So, where is she?" The gentle voice of the beautiful woman standing beside Mason asked. She was indeed gorgeous and it was no doubt she and Mason were siblings. They had good genes. They both had brown hair but Mason had really dark hair whereas his sister had more of chocolate brown hair with some blonde highlights. They also both had ocean blue eyes and tall figure. Kelsey stared at them amazed that they looked as if they had just finished modelling for a fashion show.Mason glanced to his right only to see Kelsey standing at the foot of the staircase. She looked nervous as she bit her lip and played with the necklace around her neck. "Here she is." Mason announced beckoning her over. Kelsey reluctantly made her way ov

"Nina, if there are any important and urgent calls, tell me and put me through. But if they're not, leave them, I'll handle it tomorrow." Mason commanded as Nina nodded in understanding."Yes sir." She answered."Alright, I best be going then." He announced and left the office. Once he was in his car, he glanced at his gold watch and checked the time. It was already 4:37 and it would take him about half an hour to get home since it was already traffic hours. He sighed and figure it was fine to be late for a couple of minutes.~ * ~ * ~"Are you sure that I look fine?" Kelsey asked Ella for the millionth time."You look perfect, Kelsey. Now stop asking or I'm going to put some tape on your mouth." She threatened shutting Kelsey up. "Remember, table manners. Also, if your make-up fades, just touch it up. I put all the make-up you need in this purse." She said handing her the purse as Kelsey took it."Alright." Kelsey nodded and reassured Ella with a smile. "I think I'll be fine."
