Billionaire’s Most Wanted Bride

~Damien’s POV~

Getting things ready for Camilla’s birthday party wasn’t a fair treat to me. She obviously wants everything. I had to start getting things ready for a birthday that is in two weeks time. Coming out of the shopping mall I noticed a lady hovering around my car.

“What the hell are you doing?” I asked.

” I’m so sorry, I mistakenly hit your car when …” She turned to tender her apology and to my surprise it was Eva . She must be surprised to see me too , given the way she stopped in the middle of her sentence. She slipped and fell on my bonnet.

I stared at her as she made her way up. I wanted to hurt her … I wanted to hurt her so badly for thinking she could turn me down in such an embarrassing way.

“Let’s grab a drink,” I said and headed to the nearest restaurant. She followed at my back , giving a reasonable space between us. It was quite annoying to me. It’s not like I’m a monster or we had an unpleasant past together.

” So …we meet again, she said. I thought after our previous encounter you won’t want to have anything to do with…

“Aren’t you drinking” I interrupted? She looked up at me . I imagined what she would be thinking, Maybe she will be feeling guilty for what she did but her looks says the opposite. She grabbed a glass and gulped it down so quickly. Like she has been waiting for the moment to come.

” Let’s get this straight, My father insists I date you, I Know your father wants the same. ” I said . I hated how I went straight to the point but it won’t matter. It has to be said after all.

“That’s Absurd” she sighed gulping down the third glass.

” Whatever you say, I think I might have an idea . That is if you are really tired of going on numerous blind dates. She was startled when I mentioned about her blind dates .

” You are stalking me ? She asked in annoyance.

…”I’m not”

“Then?”..

I couldn’t get myself to start arguing with her . Instead of beating around the bush I decided to hit the nail by the core.

” Let’s date ” I finally let it out , ready for whatever reaction she would offer. I wanted to fulfill my father’s wish of getting married to her .

” Now I feel you are hitting on me, anyways I’m not interested. She said and stood up to leave.

” You haven’t finished your drink ” I said in a bid to stop her from leaving. ” I wasn’t saying we should date for real, let’s pretend to be a couple for a while”

” And how would that help” she shrugged and ordered for a second bottle.

” Hope you can hold your liquor cos I’m not driving you home” I said jokingly but she ignored that . ” We have to sign a contract”.

” What is it about? The contract I mean” she said. She wasn’t taking any other glass. I was amazed she listened to what I said . I almost thought she didn’t hear that.

“I will draft it. We just have to pretend to be a couple just for 365 days . By then we must have sorted ourselves. ” I said taking the last glass from my first bottle.

“What do you think? That I will just give in? , I’m not a slut okay !” She said almost shouting. Her eyes were almost bulging out.

” Isn’t that what you said you were on our first date?

“Hey!!!… Who the fuck do you think you are? She hauled, standing up and hitting her hands on the tableNôvelDrama.Org © content.

“Damien Alexandros” I answered proudly. I have never hesitated to use my surname to my advantage even when I was in high school.

“Huh? , Do you mean the famous ‘Alexandros’ ? She asked in surprise and sat down slowly. I nodded confidently.

” I guess if you knew sooner, you won’t have treated me the way you did ” I said taking advantage of the moment to make her feel guilty at least.

” Hmm .. this is an awkward situation” she murmured . Had I known you were Damien Alexandros, I won’t have bothered coming for the date .

” Why,” I asked. It was my opportunity to know why she wouldn’t want me. I’m handsome rich and … What then does she want from in a man that I couldn’t offer?.

“… Because you are not my type of man ” she said . She fixed her eyes on mine. Looking from my head to my toe as if she was weighing my worth. I have never been treated with so much disrespect not by a man not to talk of a lady.

” You are unspeakable” anger brushed through my cheek.

“Thanks for the compliment,” she said making me more furious. How was that a compliment? It was as if my heart would burst out due to the amount of anger it was holding in.

” That’s the dumbest way to look at it, ” I said craving for more drink . I took up a cigarette from my breast pocket but determined not to light it up in front of her . I promised myself to quit from smoking. Not because the doctor said it wasn’t good for my health , but because my father said so.

“Now” , I said getting down to business. ” I’m not gonna bore you with the details . I guess you already know how to play your own role as a multi- billionaire’s girlfriend. If you don’t , figure it out then.

She looked at me like she would devour me. I bet that must have annoyed her. I pretended not to notice the change on her mood.

” This should be all for today dear” I cleared my throat and said. The waiter came around when he sensed I was about to leave. I paid for the bottles I had. Eva paid for hers too like it was nothing… I almost forget she was a billionaire as well.

” Do me a favor, when you get to your apartment, think about it. just think of it as a normal business proposal” I said , smiling. She watched as I left the restaurant.
