Chapter 4 - Married On The First Meeting

Inside the Marriage registration office, two couples could be seen seated together who could only be described by two word "Heavenly Match", a stunning beauty and a handsome young man in black, they attracted the gaze of everyone around them.

A Woman could be seen seated in front of them wearing a suit and looking quite professional but also amicable, she smiled and asked " have you guys though about it, are you sure you are ready to commit with each other and spend the rest of your lives together. " Yes we are" replied Beatrice. Luke was surprised and thought to himself, Interesting, now am curious to find out what you are up to!". "Yes" replied Luke who did not want to be caught lacking behind this Beatrice.

Good then where are the rings asked the Woman in charge of the registration "they are here replied a woman who looked mature and hot, but had the aura that would make you feel ashamed, she was Ellen, Beatrice personal assistant and secretary, today was one of the strangest days in her life as she was asked to prepare a wedding agreement within 45 Minutes without knowing anything about the groom, but she knew it was not her place to question her boss now, she handed the beautiful yet simple diamond rings which looked like a fake to the couple and stepped back, after they both put the ring on each other's finger, the certificate was brought out which Luke immediately signed and stamp his finger on the paper without even looking, he then playfully looked at Beatrice and said " What are you hesitating about, signed it already!", he really thought that with this, Beatrice will show her real character, but to his surprised she looked at him an smiled beautifully, this was the first time she had geneiuly smiled at him and it was beautiful, it captivated him so much, he fell into a trance and when he came out of it, she had already finished signing. " Congratulations, you are now husband and wife said the official with a smile, this was her favorite part of the job. "Oh,by the way as you all know, you can't file a divorce within the next 5 years, this was a law in the Country, married couple had to wait 5 years before they would be allowed to divorce after marriage, this was because too many people got married and divorce way too early, so this law made so that people think real hard before getting married.

Luke sat there in a daze not knowing what was going on. " What are you waiting for, let's go" said Beatrice.

In the streets of Valdan City, a black Escalade ESV could be seen moving at a steady pace, in it sat four people, of the four people in the car Beatrice looked content with her hands placed on top of each other resting on her tights, she looked graceful and beautiful and with her in the back seat was Luke, who still couldn't rap his head around what was going on, In the front seat Ellen felt awkward as she didn't understand what was happening and more importantly, she didn't feel comfortable in another's man car especially if it belongs to someone who just got married to her boss without any reason, she could have swore she had never seen this man or heard anything about him from Beatrice, then she thought " is he threatening her in some way", she became more anxious. The only person enjoying this and who probably knew what was going on more than Luke and Beatrice, was John in the driver seat, who was enjoying the drama.

Beatrice might not know why Luke immediately signed the agreement and indeed, she didn't know, but John who knew Luke so well understood why.

To Luke, Beatrice was just a rich and powerful woman, who wants to tease him after hearing his conversation on the phone with his mom, but to Luke who had just lost the love of his life a week ago being used as bait, he felt that women were looking down on him too much and his ego could not take that, so he decides to play along and beat her at her game but for some reason this woman was not Playing around and with both of them misunderstanding each other led to this situation. One proposed with a serious intention and one accepted thinking it was a game, at this moment he couldn't help but roared out in laughter, making Ellen more anxious and ready to pull her pepper spray from her hand back at any moment, Both Luke and Beatrice were silent at the back.

Emotion Palace, a black Escalade ESV pulled up in the parking lot and 4 people got out with different expressions, Ellen was relieved that non of the bad things she had expected came to life, Luke had a frown, Beatrice was smiling and then there is John who was desperately holding himself back from roaring in laughter entered the cafe and was immediately surrounded by the workers, " Boss what's going on, why is she here again?" asked the workers.

John frowned and narrowed his eyes, the workers immediately stood up in an upright position as if soldiers waiting for orders, " You better get used to seeing her around", he turned around and before he entered the office he added " and better treat her the same way you would treat Luke, because she's now Mrs Arckhman", he roared in laughter and left to call Luke's Mom. " The workers were having a mental break down, "Mrs Arckhman??, does he mean they really got ma.. ma ... married", exclaimed the workers as they gasped in shock. " It happened just like that, what in the holy cow is going on here"
