Chapter one

Friday end of May. Seven thirty In the evening.

***

Lorraine sighed as a guy came and ordered for a drink. "vodka rocks" He said with a gruff voice.

She dropped 2 cubes of ice in the vodka glass and poured his drink.

Placing a serviette on the table and the glass on top of it she saw the man lustfully looking at her boobs

Maybe if he wasn't so old she wouldn't have wanted to puke so badly

She wrinkled her nose and just pushed his drink forward.

He dropped the money on the bar table and drank his cup of Vodka

Lorraine is seriously tired of this life and also of her boss who just happens to be her landlord too.

She's lucky that he let her be a bartender though because other girls in the bar work as hookers. She served people drinks for two more hours and started to pack up her stuff.

And when she was ready to leave, she went to her boss's office to get her daily payment and she hit the road in no time.

She got out of the taxi and walked a few steps to where she lived it was a building field with flats

The elevator stopped functioning a while ago so she had to take the stairs

Her apartment was on the third floor out of five floors.

She cursed under her breath as she walked up the stairs.

She was getting blisters little by little.

All she needed was a shower.

As she got out of the shower she heard a knock on her door.

She dried up her body quickly and wore her robe

All she wanted was to get some rest after her bath and someone came to interrupt her.

She walked to the door with her hair still dripping with water.

She opened the door finally and saw who it was.

It was her landlord, he was at her apartment again, and he was grumpy as usual.

"and how may I help you, sir," she said, trying to sound as polite as possible even though her face was saying something different

"You are being really bad to the customers, Lorraine" he explained, "you should be nicer to them, You know why?"

She shook her head in confusion

"Well, you are running late on the rent." He eyed her body "I think it's time for you to make use of that hot body of yours, uh?" He smirked lustfully

Lorraine frowned and said, "as long as I live here I won't take you talking to me as you like, okay?" She glared at him "And for the rent, I promise I'll find a way to pay it I promise" she pleaded.

"fine as you wish, but I'll still advise you to take the other alternative though" he smirked

"I already told you I'm not going to" she huffed.

He raised his hands in surrender as he walked away

She slammed the door out of anger and walked to her room.

"I need another job" those were her last word before she slept.

Grrrrrrrrr

The stupid alarm buzzed making Lorraine hit it with her pillow so it could shut up

But instead, it fell off the lampstand and stopped buzzing

At least it got what it deserved

I guess no more alarm for me then

She thought as she got off her bed to check the alarm clock

She popped in its batteries that came out back in place and it worked

Well the alarm lives

She dropped it on the lamp stand and walked to her dressing table

Gosh she was a mess

She thought looking at herself in the mirror

She raked her hair backward with her hand gently

"Well it's just an order of life, nothing changed" she sighed as she stopped looking at herself in the mirror and walked to the bathroom

"What do you mean the board of directors didn't sign the go-ahead for me to be the CEO" The sound of Dylan's angry voice was heard all over his mansion.

"like you heard Dylan they need a guarantee" Xander, Dylan's personal Lawyer, and friend told him

"what guarantee is that" Dylan managed to ask.

"for them to sign the go-ahead they must be sure that you are responsible, your father's lawyers are also involved in this" Xander explained.

Dylan's father died 3 Years ago and before he did he screwed his son first.

Chris Walker knew his son would never want to get married and he knew it was his fault for having a lover. And making his mother suffer.

The only way he was to make him the CEO of his company and take his place was to make him get married in return

"responsible in what way" Dylan asked.

"you need to get married Dylan" Xander paused before continuing his explanation "The only way for you to be the CEO of Walker enterprises is for you to get married" Xander added.

Dylan gave a fake laugh "you are joking right" he asked, "this is all a joke right?" He requested again.

"I'm afraid it's not Dylan" Xander sighed.

Dylan sighed heavily "that bastard screwed me up" he shook his head "I need a wife Xander" he looked up at him.

"yeah I know, but who?" Xander asked "just pick one of your lovers and marry her" he advised.

"That would be so simple if I trust any of them" Dylan paused "If I must get married at all I don't want to be emotionally attached to anyone, what I need is someone who will marry me in agreement" he explained.

"like a marriage agreement!" Xander announced

That's exactly what Dylan wanted a marriage agreement.
