MARRIAGE CONTRACT: MARRIED TO MR CEO
***
THE NEXT DAY
Erica found herself in another room. She touched her head groaning, memories of last night flashing in her mind.
She sighed, this was her life now, she had to endure all this pain to get to where she went to.
She was about getting off the bed when she heard a knock.
"Come in"
The middle aged woman walked in with a radiant smile.
Erica knew she had seen this woman before.
"Miss, your food is ready"
"Is Mikel home?" Erica asked. She wasn't ready to see his face today.
" No Miss, Sir went to work early as usual"
This was just 8 AM, so what time does he go to work?, She wondered.
She breathed out in relief and smiled to the woman since she was the only one who have been nice to her after she got here.
After minutes of taking her bath. She went down to eat.
She still saw the maid gazing at her, she felt really awkward.
The middle aged woman placed her food on the dinning table.
Erica mouth wide opened seeing the food. It has been long she ate something much as this.
She didn't wait before devouring it but was brought back to her sense when the woman chuckled.
She coughed and started eating slowly.

After staying in this penthouse for few hours, she had become bored.
The house was huge but really empty!!
And with the weird stares, she felt worse.
The middle aged woman noticed she was sitting alone.
"Miss, do you want to join me in cooking"
Erica jumped up smiling.
"I'll love to"
Their both headed to the kitchen. Erica watched as she sliced the vegetables and started cooking.
"What's the name of this food?"
"Cheese red sauce pasta, fried chicken and garlic bread"
" Wow, is that what Mikel love eating? "
" Yes especially the garlic bread Miss"
Erica sighed.
" Please stop calling me Miss, call me Erica"
" I don't think I can, you are the boss's wife"
" Well it's just a marriage contract and within some years I'll leave"
" Okay I'll try" the middle aged woman said.
Erica phone buzzed, it was a message from Mikel.
*GO GET READY FOR A BUSINESS PARTY, I'LL PICK YOU UP 8:00 PM, DON'T WASTE MY TIME LIKE YOUR PATHETIC LIFE*
Erica breathed out, she looked at the middle aged woman forcing a smile but the woman knew she wasn't okay.

ANDREI INDUSTRIES
"You mean to tell me, you are married to Veronica's murderer?" Damien asked.
Mikel ignored his question and continued typing the documents on the computer.
"Do you love her or something because there's no way you can marry her"
This sentences made him stop typing, he looked at Damien who gulped out of fear.
"Love?... He laughed
" I do not believe in that word anymore, she took Veronica away from me and i will make her pay, I won't let her die no matter what but I'll make sure she die slowly for everything she's done"
" How are you sure she was responsible for Veronica's death"
Mikel checked his time closing his computer, walking out of the office leaving Damien in total confusion.

MIKEL MANSION: 7:30
Erica had already been dressed, she didn't want to be late so he wouldn't get mad at her.
She looked so stunning in the sky blue dress, it was a slim fit having a splitting at the edge. She applied a little make up and made some changes on her hair, no one could resist her beauty.
She got down and saw Mikel also on a sky blue tuxedo. He wasn't smiling neither did he show any sign of affection.
She stopped right in front of him but he didn't glance at her once before walking out. She was quite slow due to her heels but he didn't care.

Their arrived at the party. Different medias, paparazzi, news caster filled the event.
Immediately Mikel's car came to a halt, their surrounded him asking different questions.
When Erica stepped out, their all gasped and took pictures asking how he moved on, is she is wife, are their in love and other kind of questions.
Mikel only smiled and stretched his hand towards Erica. She was confused at first before she smiled and placed her hand on his knowing it was all a pretence.
Their walked like that to the party. Everyone gasping, mummering.
Erica smiled, even if it was all a show, she was going to make the best of it besides her family was going to be here.
Katherine, Tiffany and Trina sighted them. Their were all shocked at the sudden transformation.
"Isn't that Erica?" Trina asked, the most shocked out of them all.
" She is but wasn't she poor and miserable?" Tiffany asked.
Erica smiled where she was, Mikel wondered why she was laughing but he didn't ask.
"I'll be back" he said.
Erica walked to them smiling
"Isn't it Alyssa?, Long time no see, how did you become so rich and with Mikel Andrei help, let me guess you must have sold your body to him since you are very cheap and worthless" Trini said.
She was still smiling.
" What can I say, Miracle do happens but you talking about me selling my body, what about you?, You sold it your sister's ex and what did you get nothing"
