Sean
We met at the restaurant. Again, after some time to discuss the contract. There were so many things and matters that have to be settled.
“Are you sure you don’t want to eat or drink anything even?”
“I’m not hungry. Let’s get down to the business, shall we?”
“He raised his brow, and nodded and said, OK.”
“I asked my lawyer to prepare the contract. You can take a look at it. You can also study about the contract. And then we can go to the notary to finish the business.”
“Notary, what notary? Why do I have to go to a notary?”
“How can there be a contract without a notary? He asked me a as if I should already know the answer to it.”
“OK,” sure I said exasperatedly.
“Look over here the most important point is the payment. For obvious reasons. This right here is your advanced payment and this will be a salary after the work is done. And this is the amount you will receive after six months. Over here is the total sum of money I’ll be giving you.”
“Excellent, that’s good for me. Anything else that You would like to add?”
“We will not get divorced once my business is settled and you cannot ask anything after we are divorced. But we have to draw up a another agreement for that. It will be another separate agreement. ”
“OK, short” I said.
“And one more thing Ava. You can’t tell anyone that this is a fake marriage. Not even to the closest person in your life.”
“Anyone? I questioned. What about those whom I trust?”
“Nobody.”
That one word was enough to shut me up.
“OK, as you say.”
“Do you agree to it then?” Sean asked me.
“Agreed,” I replied.
“Excellent.”
“It took out the pen and said. Come on, let’s sign the contract then.”
“I agreed to signing the contract, but I have a few requirements as well.”
He looked at me with a shocked expression as if he was surprised that I have a few requirements.
“But then he said. OK, what are they?”
“You won’t ever touch me. I don’t want to feel like a. I am broker or some kind of a prostitute for taking this money. We won’t ever sleep in the same bed.”
“OK, well of course. As you wish evil.”
“If you want I can get it written in the contract. And then we can sign it.”
“No, it’s OK. That’s not worth it that time. We both know about it and it’s fine. It is enough for us to know.”
“OK. Then he turned around and took an envelope. Out from his vest.”
Please yeah is your advance payment. You can also ask for anything else. If you need when you are married.
“Not now after we go to the notary & up the contract, I can take it.”
“OK, then we should go to the notary and finish this matter.”
“OK, let’s go the notary and this matter.”
“We bought caught up and started to leave, but I remembered something so I asked him.”
“I have a question for you.”
“Yeah, shoot. What is it?”
“Why do you trust me?”
“Why do you trust me? I can ask you the same question after. After all, you’re getting married to me.”
“It’s not the same thing you’re letting me in your family. What if I’m trapping you into this marriage?”
He looked at me with a surprised expression. But then it changed into a smirk and then a full fledged smile which was so beautiful that my whole world tilted onto ash access. Then he shook his head and smiled at me and said.
“I know what it’s like to be trapped into a marriage and you are a good person Ava. You will never do that to me. All my family for that matter. You are trying to help stray animals and orphan children in your free time and if you have money. You could have taken this advanced payment I was giving you and left without saying a word and ran away with the payment. But you instead said that you will take it after you sign up the contract at the notary. That is enough for me to know a person’s character. And I know for a fact that you are a good person even.”
” Oh,” I blushed and looked down at my feet. “That’s great,” I mumbled.
“You definitely cannot be tracked with a smart head like yours.” I said complimenting him.
“Is that how you say it?” He asked me.
I just shoved an agreement to that.
“Come on, let’s go to the notary before it is closed and the matters will be settled. Though I want to inform you, it might take time and will be all out at the night. They can also discuss other details on our way.”
“By the way, I think I have a shocker for you.”
“What does it shoot? Me.”
“The wedding is tomorrow.”
“What tomorrow?” I exclaimed.
