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 .NôvelDrama.Org exclusive content.

” 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 table

“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.
