"I will give you some time to think about it, but I want you to know that you will be compensated." Alex said, and lynn ran her hand through her hair...
"So what will happen if I accept your offer? Will we have a wedding like everyone else? what about after the wedding?" lynn said to him... and Alex had a response to her question..
"Yes we will have a wedding, we need to have a wedding that is one of the reasons I suggested this... I want everyone to know I'm getting married, " Alex answered...
"An elaborate wedding?" lynn muttered and almost scoffed... She knew it wasn't going to be easy... it was a crazy thing he was asking of her... What about the people she knew... how would they react...
People would definitely judge her... "Do you think people would buy it... I am not....like you... I'm not rich or anything... I didn't come from a high-class family...I'm just a waitress and nothing more... People will call me a gold digger. " lynn tried to point out all the reason she could think about why it was crazy...
"I don't really care about that, and you shouldn't too, Lynn... just a year... we will get divorced after a year, and you can leave and do whatever you want... and if things go smoothly, I will pay off all of your debts, excluding what I offered you. " lynn's eyes immediately grew wide when she heard Alex mention her debts...
"How did you know about that?" She scoffed and shook her head... Of course, he knew he probably did a background check on her before asking her to be his wife...
"You don't have to worry about anything. You just have to be by my side and be my bride and nothing else," Alex assured, hoping he had successfully convinced her...
lynn didn't give him a response... she simply turned to leave... she walked out of his study, feeling more conflicted than ever... Was this the fleeting feeling that she had been having... A feeling that her life was about to change forever, but she wasn't expecting such a drastic change... To Become the wife of Alex hult... and not just a normal marriage... A sham marriage... Why would he want a sham marriage...
The reason he gave her was barely enough... she sighed deeply as she walked into her room... he had not still answered her question! why her! he could have asked anyone else why he asked the waitress who spilt coffee on him!
Lynn slumped on the bed in the guest room, her eyes on the ceiling as silence enveloped her. He needed a bride, and she needed the money... She would have considered accepting his offer, but when he told her that her wanted an elaborate wedding, she was completely taken aback than she already was ... Wasn't it just a fake marriage... why did she have to be part of such an elaborate ceremony... what if people started to ask question and she blew their cover, then she would risk losing all that money... would he just sit back, or would there be repercussions...
She got up in a sitting position and shook her head. No, she just had to prepare ahead... it would be just for a day, after that she would have no reason to talk to anyone... "I have to lay out my own conditions," Lynn muttered, and she laid back down on the bed, a smile gracing her face... but the smile dissipated as soon as it came...
She pinched her arm a bit to make sure she wasn't dreaming, and yes, it wasn't a dream... She would finally be debt free and could buy an apartment, even a house... and after everything, she would still have a lit of money left... Lynn groaned and got up in again... she started to pace around Her room, bitting her fingernails as she thought about Alex hult offer... He was going to pay off her debts if things went smoothly. Her debts were the things she wanted to get rid of the most in her life... It was like a heavy burden that she had to carry, and he was offering to take away her Burden...
it was an offer that was hard for her to resist or reject without much contemplation... The more he thought about declining his offer, the more she thought about her problems that had overwhelmed her for years and what she had gone through... How hard her life had been for years upon years... how she felt trapped and frustrated, like she was never going to find a way out... was this a way out for her...
She tugged on her hair as her heart raced and lynn stopped pacing... she took a deep breath to steady herself... If she was going to do this, then they had to talk again and go over everything... She had to learn about how to become the fake wife of Alex hult and how not to get caught...
"I can't lose this opportunity," Lynn muttered under her breath... she took a deep breath again and then picked up her phone... it was evening already so she decided to think things through thoroughly before giving Alex hult an answer...
Lynn spent time in her room, thinking about ways that everything could turn out bad for her... Marcus knocked on her door a few hours later to call her down for dinner, but lynn declined his offer, he didn't try to persuade her but simply went to inform Alex who was already seated at the dinning room having his dinner....
he looked calm and collected, unlike Marcus, who was curious to know about their discussion went... "Do you think she will accept your offer sir" Marcus asked Alex in a low voice after informing him that lynn declined having dinner...
"I don't know Marcus, we have to wait and see" Alex said... He knew his offer was tempting and hard for her to refuse... he knew she was up there in her room contemplating on a decision to make... he just had to wait...
