Chereads / 100 Days Contract / Chapter 12 - Chapter Twelve

Chapter 12 - Chapter Twelve

Everyone was gathering around to celebrate a lovely wedding that happened earlier, Elton and his official wife were sitting at the center table to be the main attraction. Maybe he needs to get used to it until that celebration end.

He can see how happy the guests are but Elton was not because from now on, he's tied to the woman he hired. This isn't part of his plans but his father thinks Stella was his real fiance, that's why he insists on this wedding in the end.

"You're not happy, aren't you?" Stella's voice caught his attention, causing him to look at her uninterested.

"What if I am?" He uttered.

"This wedding wasn't part of your stupid plans and marrying me is against your will, why can't you just divorce me tomorrow?"

He chuckled, "Are you stupid? That's not going to work because if I do that, I need to start all over again."

Stella sighed, "Then, we must participate until you get what you want."

"As if I have another choice."

He averted his gaze to his side and a beautiful girl winked at him, he smirked because after all his day become interested. The young lady bites her lower lips like she's seducing him and licking her lips was the best say, he waves his hands secretly.

Maybe he needs to have a couple of fun and a little time to unwind. That girl was the perfect victim for him, just to lessen his boredom.

"You can have her to be your woman tonight, I wouldn't mind if my husband f*ck another girl on the night of our wedding day," she said.

Elton quickly turn around and saw her looking straight at the guests while drinking her wine.

"What did you say?" He asked, to clarify what he just heard.

"I said, you can have her as your woman."

"I heard what you say, but I don't understand why are you telling me to find another girl?"

"Because that's what you want, right? This was a mistake from the very beginning so take her, and be her man on her bed."

That words made him feel guilty since he's the main reason why she need to marry him out of the blue, even if Stella wasn't saying anything. He knew she was not very pleased to get married unexpectedly.

She drink her wine again and looked at him, "Don't look at me. You're freaking me out."

"I'm sorry," he apologizes.

"Second."

"Whatever," he put his eyesight to somewhere else just to make his mind occupied.

Until an attention seeker made a scene, using a wine glass and Elton knew did that. That was his brother, Chris, and being an attention seeker is one of his skills.

"Everyone, may I have your attention, please? I wanted to congratulate my brother for having this wonderful day in his life."

Chris glanced at him, "Elton, this tossed was for you."

He raised his glass and nodded, before drinking it immediately. But Elton is not stupid to believe his show because it might be part of his plans and believing him is dangerous.

"You're a good brother even though you are such a stubborn child, who always brings troubles to our family. But I'm happy for you because you finally find the girl who accepts you, no matter how stubborn you are."

"I wish you a happy life," That's Chris said, and step out of the stage.

However, the scene was not done yet because his father stepped onto the stage with a satisfied smile on his face, and it give him chills down his spine.

"My son, I never thought this day would come. All I thought is you don't want to settle down, and rather choose to be single until you can't walk without a cane."

Everyone laughed because of his father's joke.

George clear his throat, "But I am glad my son is already married now. I don't need to deal with your troubles anymore because Stella will be able to handle that, and I want to announce myself the best gift you ever wanted."

"Ladies and gentlemen, I'd like to announce the next CEO of Richard's Corporation. My son, Elton Richards."

"My youngest son and I am looking forward to working with him from now on, also to prove his loyalty to me that he wouldn't use it against his father."

Everyone clapped when his father announced that, he was, even more, happier because finally, he have what he wanted. Elton stood up to receive the guests' praises.

"Thank you, everyone! Thank you!"

"I wanted to say thank you for coming to our wedding, and for your lovely gifts. I appreciate it very much," he glances at Stella, "And for my lovely wife, thank you for coming into my life."

"Thank you for making my life interesting and as I promise in front of God, I'll be a good and loving husband. I'll stay by your side for richer, and poorer until death does us apart."

Stella was aroused by his words as if that was real. She wanted to believe his words not until her mind whispered to her, and woke herself up to his deceitful words.

She nodded just to go with the flow like she was happy about that wedding even though she was not.

"Stella, you are the best gift I ever had," Elton lower his head and reach for her lips which she didn't expect that.

She was stunned by his unexpected actions, which made her mouth shut and the only thing she's hearing was the guests' screams.

The young man smiled at her before giving her an unusual wink, she felt her cheeks redden at the same time avert her gaze somewhere else.

"That's lovely my son, I knew you are not using that gorgeous woman just to get the company, but did I tell you, your tasks weren't done yet?"

Elton froze and immediately look at his father, "Pardon me?"

"Of course, I forgot to tell my son. You can fully have the company if Stella and you give me a grandchild."

"What? Are you kidding me, dad?"

But his father just smiles, "I want a grandchild."
