Chereads / Contractual Love / Chapter 18 - Decision Time

Chapter 18 - Decision Time

I was hella shocked when he said those words.

"whatttt!!!!!"

Gabe said or more of ordered "wasn't I loud and clear enough?"

"no.....I mean got it sir."

"after a week you,I and Lily will leave because VP has to be somewhere important so I will take his secretary. understood?"

"y..yes sir."

I left the room and sat at my desk thinking of this thing. like again visiting to River Valley is something I will want least because again seeing James will break me. and now like a dumb I think I should have told the story to Gabe then atleast going to River valley would have been cancelled.

...

At night when I returned Lily ofcourse knew everything and I asked her "y..you umm know right?"

"of course and I was thinking the whole day about how are you taking this news because you didn't even come to lunch."

"I don't know what to do I can't possibly go to River Valey can I?"

"this is a big project Lily, you have to go or else you will be fired."

"then let it be."

"wait!!!you can't be considering leaving your job and also no one will be able to identify you, I mean look at you you are grown up girl and does not even resemble tiny bit to your old self."

"but the necklace still resembles it old self 😒."

"then why not wear a scarf on it and hide it."

I can't believe that superb idea came from Lily and not me. now I can understand how much tensed I was because my brain completely froze and gave me no idea, So I found some really beautiful scarf and for that I had to go shopping and of course Lily shopped for hours and I hated it like earlier (I never changed😅).

after some day I and Lily made a really weird request from Gabe I mean it was indeed weird for Gabe but it was not for us. So we made a deal that I and only I will speak and Lily will keep her mouth completely sealed.

"Sir?"

"yes Tara?"

"I and Lily have a request, and we hope that you can promise us that you will fulfill our request and not ask any questions."

Gabe was definitely a nice husband material but to mention outside the office otherwise in office he is cold as hell and very professional.

"I can't promise but only if your request is legit."

"sir we want that you change our names for the trip to River valley."

"what!!! are you out of your mind? how can I possibly do that?"

"ummmmm Sir I and lily have prepared it already and we have made our fake identities."

"what!!!!! but why?"

He looked quite sad for us doing this fake identities thing because he believed the most on us, I don't know about Lily but after that kiss he definitely liked me. We showed him our fake Identities and the name on the identities were, My name was changed to Aria Sharma and Lily's name was changed to Riya Sigh. To which Gave said "Though I don't know why you want it but then it is ok."

...

That week passed by very fast and the day also arrived really fast and we were ready to go to River Valley again. I was more than stressed to see James's face again or more of didn't want to see his face after what had happened. We reached there and definitely according to our new names Aria and Riya we made every arrangements and this project was given to us by the Royal family so I had to visit the place I least wanted to.

We reached the Royal palace and I adjusted my scarf to never let it fall even by chance and we stood at the big hall. This hall was the place where I had my first ball. The king and the queen entered or I should say the ex king and queen because the king now was.....James and as for the queen😓 I can't say anything. They entered and saw me frowning in the same way they did on their first day.and asked "ummmm dear do we know you."

I was so scared and I said "umm ummm ummm n...no. I don't think so. Sir I would like to leave for a minute."

I ran away as I couldn't take the tension in the room and as I ran I clashed on a guy and fell down on his arms and it was James wait!!!this happens in normal love stories and I with James had nothing normal so we fell down or I should say I pushed him inside the lake🤦‍♀️🤦‍♀️🤦‍♀️. After we came back to the hall I said "I am sorry sir." The queen was angry and said "he is the king and how dare your filthy hands touched him." I stayed silent because I know who I am and how much dangerous it is to bust my real info.

But the thing was James was standing there right in front of me like a king and no queen beside him just because of me and now I started also quite bad here to show that I was not actually bad.

Woah the start was quite rough, wasn't it?😬 disrespecting the king on my first day there with my past. What do you think happens next please comment.
