"So you want me to ask you out?"
Ryan proposed making her wanting to stomp her feet on the ground like a child.
"I can do that right now if you want?? You must be one hell of a lucky woman for making Ryan Del Cardoso ask you out?"
He smirked as he got up from his chair, moving towards her making her walk backward yet once again.
"Why are you doing this?"
She inquired about having to deal with this too much. .
"Is not that what you want?"
He counters backed. She wanted to deny it right away but then she knew if she would be caught and her one million dollars would be gone..poof in the air.
"I did but..but not anymore..."
She lied, trying to get off from whatever she started.
"Are you sure of that??"
"And why do you think I m not??"
Alister found herself raising her voice, getting annoyed at his questions.
"Wait..is this about me not visiting you in the hospital so you changed your mind about dating me?? Or getting interrupted on our make-out session??"
Ryan dropped another bunch of questions to her entirely blowing her minds off, thinking where was this even coming from.
But before she could say anything, he got in right away to it.
"Just so this is what it's going to be like, darling. Dating me will include days, or more like months of you not seeing me and getting interrupted in our making out session will be very common, and then having others film it will be too..."
Ryan elaborated with a crude smile on his face. Alister could not grasp any of that. She could only think why he would keep saying all these to her when they were for sure not going to do all that.
"...I uhh...still want to be out.."
Alister mumbled it out, eyes straight on his as he kept looking at her too.
"Then have fun explaining these to media yourself..."
Ryan tossed the tabloid to her, the video of them making out playing on it. She felt her goosebumps watching it again.
She did not know what to do. The headlines were already bad enough. They were calling her names out already.
What did she get herself into?? She thought
Busy on her train of thoughts, she did not realize when he wore back his coat and then let out breaking her thoughts.
"Let's get going. We have to attend a press conference where I will make us official."
Alister looked back at him. She could not believe they were really doing it.
How many loops of the lie she would circle herself in for that million dollars?? She questioned herself.
"Look at me, Alister Flow."
He cupped her face in between his manly hands, staring right into her eyes.
"Maybe before crushing over me, you did not know how my life looked like closed up...this is how it looks...I know I m a complicated man, with a crazy family but for the first time, I want to make this workout..."
His confessions were knocking out the breath from her lungs as she found herself hypnotized by his blue iris.
"I do not give a damn about your background...I just need you in this and rest we will figure it out with time..."
He continued, slightly caressing her cheeks making her mind go wild, her skin burning in flame.
"So what do you say??"
He asked her out of the blue and after a brief pause, in a daze, she found herself nodding.
That bought a genuine smile on his face. He pecked her lips before detaching from her.
"Let's get going then, we need people to know that Ryan Del Cardoso is not available anymore."
He chuckled, walking out of the office, leaving her in her thoughts wondering what the hell she just did.

Semira Inna threw her stiletto heels on the led television that covered the entire wall before her.
"The fuck?? He got himself the girl too?? Some maid of Stephanson..."
She yelled out loudly only for her son to enter her part of the wing in the castle like a house.
"You are angry, mother."
Blake said as he sipped the red wine from her flute. She grunted in annoyance.
"They both look good together. Don't they??"
Blake commented out of blue. He was overjoyed at how things were turning out. He could not believe how smoothly and well the entire thing was going out.
This will not only end up with him getting his hands over the Will paper but also with breaking his big brother's heart. That sounded fun for him.
"She is on our side, mother. That is all part of the plan to get closer to Ryan. And only then we will know where the paper is."
Blake explained to his angry mother, whose hooded eyes were stuck on the television watching Ryan and Alister smiling off, him claiming how much she was in love with him.
"This is not going to end well."
Semira Inna said, grabbing the flute from his hand.
"You will act like a good mother that you are to Ryan. You will not act like the judgemental mother."
Blake stated. He knew his mother. She could damage this budding fake romance with the snap of her fingers.
Ryan always respected her wishes and if she disapproved of Alister, he might seem to reconsider his decisions and which was what Blake did not want.
"Girls like her last, Blake. If this continues, soon enough that whore will be a Cardoso with Ryan's child inside her...who knows maybe she is already pregnant....and your chance at the Cardoso throne will be gone forever once Ryan has his heir..."
"Oh stop with the assumptions mothers. She is not pregnant and I do not care if this ends up with her getting married to him....I do not care until I m in the control position here..."
