Chapter 1: The Millionaire
Sitting on a table in the middle of a fancy restaurant, are two women barely talking but both with intense presence. Everybody knows about their family's legacy - of Anthea Stonem and Gina Campbell, two of the most powerful and influential women in the world of business, having build up the Stonem and Campbell Inc. These two women merged their parents business to build up one of the largest company in the world managed by two women who had been known as warm, intelligent, down-to-earth business tycoon. Their daughters Elizabeth Stonem and Naomi Campbell are the opposite of their mothers' character. They are known to be keen, brute, and ice cold business women. Elizabeth being a silent person was known to be a keen woman who'd taken up the fashion, hotels and resorts business of her family. And Naomi Campbell has known for being an ice cold-hard- bitch woman who's taken up her family's banks and supermall business. Those businesses put up together becoming one of the largest in the country. Of course they don't mind about the reputation they have in the economy. Everybody knew them believed it is part of the business. They have friends and they believe all of those characters are part what made them a person.
"Remind me why we are in this restaurant masticating these protein filled sustaining object we call food, I should be in the office right now sorting out some shit documents to be able to help our parents manage the fucking business because some girl named Elizabeth wouldn't even help out given the fact that she is busy fucking with men and women all over the places!"
"Ouch! Miss Campbell you never fail to hurt my ego. I know you are one such boring lady but you need to relax sometimes. And being your best mate, I guess I have the responsibility to give you quality time as much as I don't want to." Effy countered.
"Drop the bullshits, Stonem. What is it my mom wants this time? I know this is all about mom. You never give me that thoughtful speech if it weren't that mom asks you again a favor regarding me!" Naomi is loosing her patience with the idea that her mother is to put her in compromise again. "When will you ever stop doing things for my mom?"
"Let me see...uhhmmm..never?" Effy smirked. "You know I am not just doing this for her…I'm doing this for you too. You never listen to Gina, Nai. And I'm the only person she trusts to put sense in your hard head. So I guess, the answer is never."
Naomi knew that Effy is right. Most of the time she is the only one that can make her do every little fucking thing Gina wanted because she can't put sense in her headstrong daughter. So she resulted on asking Effy's help especially when she knew that Naomi is absolutely not going to agree with it but it doesn't stop her from trying.
"Fine, what is it she wanted this time?" Naomi asked irritatingly. "This one better be good. Because I tell you..."
"Gina wants you to get married Naomi." Effy cut in before she ever finishes her sentence.
"WHAT?" Naomi shouted which caused people to look at their table. She clears her throat and continuous in a very low angry voice. "What the fuck are you talking about?"
"I'm talking about marriage." Effy said matter-of- factly. As if she didn't hear what she said the first time.
"I know you're talking about marriage, I fucking heard you. What I mean is what the fuck came into my mother's head this time that she wanted me to get fucking married?" Her head is swirling in total anger she can't believe this is happening. She's too young to get married…okay 25 years of age is not exactly that young but she has so many things going on in her life that marriage is the last thing she wanted to do. And for fuck sake she doesn't even have a boyfriend!
"Naomi, Stonem and Campbell Inc. will be ours. In the condition that you are to get married." Effy said casually as if she didn't cause a bomb to explode in their table.
"Wha..what is that bullshit! I don't need to get married just to be able to continue the stupid fucking family business. I can even live without it! And how come I am to get married while you don't? That's some crazy bullshit! I refuse!" The ridiculous condition is making her so fucking furious she wanted to kill her mom right fucking now. From simple little things up to marriage, clearly Gina has gone a whole new level to piss her off. "It's not even rationally justifiable that to be able to get that company I have to get married while you on the other hand don't even have to agree on anything!"
"Well, the fact that I agree on making you do the wedding condition is too much to bear. Besides Nai, you love your mother. And you've wanted to continue the family's legacy since we were kids." Effy trying to put sense on her but can't even get it. Sure Effy doesn't have to agree on anything because she doesn't even want the business and the only thing Anthea wants is to make her take over it. And the fact that she's taking over is absolutely enough, but she can't understand why her mom has to make her do all bullshits just because of the fucking business.
"I am my mother's only daughter. No matter what happen I'd be able to acquire the business. Whether I agree or not to her stupid ideas. What makes her think that I'd do what she says this time just because I want to have the company?" Naomi smiles triumphantly. She's already willing to end the subject when Effy took a document on her suitcase, and drop it on her side of table.
"What the fuck is this?" she asked opening the folder and reading through it. Her mind cannot believe what she is reading. "That old woman, I'm going to fucking hunt her down!"
"Oh no you won't, not until you are her daughter again." Effy smirked. She's fucking enjoying this bullshits Naomi thought furiously. "She signed that document Nai. I see she really has to go through the shits just to make you do it." She can't help it she's giggling away at the thought of the blonde getting married. Effy doesn't believe it at first but after Gina explained to her why she wanted Naomi to get married. She saw the sense in the plan and so agreed to convince her best mate. Naomi will be reluctant at first and go through killer fits just to stop her mother's plan but knowing Naomi there is nothing in this world she will never do for her mother. It will never be because of the company. That's Naomi for you, everybody who doesn't know her thinks she's the coldest person walking on earth but the truth is she will do everything for the persons she's care about. And Effy for one has witnessed and experienced her bestfriend's love. Naomi might hate her for agreeing with her mother but she knows she is doing the right thing. The blonde needs someone to care for her. And she believes she will meet someone who has a good soul that will care for her. She just needs to accomplish this first step first.
"No Eff, I am not to get married. I don't even have a fucking boyfriend for fuck sake! And why is my mother so excited about that plan that she is willing to disown me if I won't agree. Why can't she understand? I…DON'T…NEED…ANY-FUCKING-ONE!"
"Believe me Naomi Campbell. YOU…DO" Effy is smiling at her with that heartwarming smile she never use to anyone but to the people she care for.
"What will I do Eff. I don't want to get married. I can't get married you know that. I've got dreams and future plans. Getting married will stop me from doing all of that. Why do you have to agree with her? Do you even care about me?" She wanted to win her Effy's side.
"I know. But you should do this first. For your mom, anyway it is not that that marriage will stop you from doing what you want. Give your mother a chance. Maybe she just wanted you to do this because she can see sense in it. And if it doesn't work out, get a divorce. It is not even stated in the document you can't end the marriage if you want." She now see that the blonde agreeing with her. It feels so good when you are winning a deal. That's the only thing she enjoys about the business. Making a deal, manipulating it and winning it in the end.
"You mean I'd get married then divorce it after?" Naomi now likes the idea.
"Yes! Then you and your mom will be sorted. You do it because she wanted to. You followed her will, you get the business." Effy wins!
"Fine I'll do it. But I don't have anyone to marry for fuck sake!" Naomi is growing anxious. It is not easy dating now and then after a while marrying them. The mere thoughts of being with someone engross her purely. And it takes so many time that she can't even be bother going through the relationship stuff. That is why in her age she's been in only two relationships ever. Relationships she ended abruptly with simple reasons such as – he snores, or he wears the same shirt after taking a bath.
"That is why I am here. I can help you with" Effy winks and the deal is over. Got yah, Campbell she thought smirking at her best mate.
They sit on a large table on one of the bar managed by Effy's brother Tony. It's two in the afternoon and thinking about it makes her laugh at the idea when she heard it from Effy. Tony has posted this ad on every bar he owns in the whole place. And she laughed her ass off at the thought it will even be a success. Because really posting something like "Marry a millionaire for two months and earn your money in a heartbeat" is totally fucking ridiculous.
But now that they are here sitting here in the table for two hours straight interviewing men and women about the "job" she is growing tired and weary. She is one step closer to stopping the fucking ridiculous plan when suddenly Tony entered the room and announced that they only have one "applicant" left and they are finished. She was hoping to God it will be over soon.
"Believe me Naomi darling. This last one is a total mint. You'll gonna want to tie her in your bed for the rest of your life. Talking about save the best "applicant" for last" Tony smirks while doing the quote-unqoute fingers in the applicant part.
"Bring her in Tone" Effy said equally smirking as if they have a secret conversation going on.
"She's a fucking woman again for Christ-sake! Why is Tony doesn't even specify what kind of applicant we are looking for?" Naomi looks at Effy with pure boredom. She can't stand sitting in the table any longer. And then she heard the door clicked open Effy looking over with glint in her eyes and smirk at her lips.
Naomi turned around to look at the person she heard a husky voice.
"Hi, I'm Emily Fitch. I am here for a job."
It was fucking sexy; she never thought husky voice is sexy before. And then there she is - red head, cute button nose, big brown eyes, adorable little height. Whoah! Fuck! Naomi thought She's hot.
"So… What do you understand about the job you are applying for?" Effy asked first and she was woken up on a haze she was into after looking at the girl who entered the room. She feels nervous and she doesn't even know why. This girl charged up the room just by walking into it and she can't understand why Effy is not even bothered by it.
"Well, my friend said that you were looking for a person who is up for a job of being a millionaire's wife for two months in exchange of a big amount of money. I am actually in need of money so I thought why not give it a shot" The girl Emily said smiling at them, clearly confident that she will get the fucking job.
"Well..Emily" Naomi clearing her throat after feeling like it has been dried by temperature inside the room. "I'd say you are a very attractive woman. I am sorry to tell you but, we are looking for a guy."
"Oh…I thought…well, I thought you were looking for a woman. I didn't realize…" Naomi's heart dropped seeing the sadness in the girl's eyes even though she tried to hide it.
"Well…what do you need the money for, Emily?" She asked after a beat because she feels that there is a deep reason why this girl is willing to marry whoever the fuck post the advertisement. She doesn't seem like any of the past applicant. She doesn't look like a tosser or a wanker who wants to marry "the millionaire" just because of the overflowing money behind it. She knew there is a deeper reason to it.
"Well I don't think it matters at all knowing you don't need a girl to fill up the position. And I'd rather keep it to myself thank you very much" Emily said with a hint of anger in her voice.
"Alright then, seeing that it is too personal to reveal the situation why don't we hire her Ms. Campbell ?" Effy said with a mix of mystery hidden in her infamous smirk.
"W-Wha-What?" Naomi lost for words with what her best mate is saying. She whispered in the brunette next to her making sure Emily won't be hearing it. "You're being fucking crazy. She's a woman, why would I marry a woman?"
Effy ignored her and said looking straight to the girl in front of them. "So Miss Fitch. We will be researching your backgrounds in days if you must not understand the conditions of the job you are applying for. Because your "soon to be boss" is very specific with the conditions. And after you pass the background check, you'll get an interview with the boss herself which in relationship per se is what they call a date. Then she gets to meet your family and vice versa. And then the marriage is to be held in two weeks from now. If you are cool with that" Effy said without a beat she doesn't even have time to counter.
"Does that mean I get the job?" Emily asked with a hint of confusion in her voice.
"Sort of like that. But we have to do some research first before you'll get to have the job" Answered her brunette friend. "You can go now"
"Thank you!" Emily smiled bashfully and Naomi thought she was beautiful. After the redhead closed the door she faced her friend with disbelief in her eyes.
"You are such a fucking tosser, you know that!" she said barely hiding the anger in her voice.
"What makes you think she is not perfect for the job?" Effy smirked at her.
"She's a fucking woman for a start. And we didn't fucking know her, she wouldn't even say the reason why she needed the job!" She said trying to make sense with her words. Of course, they don't know her, all the people who entered the room for the past two hours are all strangers. But not telling the reason why you wanted the job is just stupid. Everybody has a fucking reason!
"Naomi, what makes you think you are straight as an arrow? You've been into two relationships your entire life. And you ended them with stupid fucking reasons which don't even make sense. And with the reason she's not telling, it means it so personal that she doesn't want to talk about not unless she is facing the person she's going to work for. Maybe, you should have told her you are the boss. Maybe she would have told us!" Effy is getting annoyed by her whinny friend. She always makes some strange reasons not to hire every person that entered the room. And doing so is making the brunette so tired she's loosing her patience. She knew the redhead is perfect for the job. And observing the blonde while interviewing the girl screams the same perfection without realizing it herself. Naomi is so dense sometimes no matter how intelligent she is.
"Fine, But I tell you this won't work out." Naomi said childishly. She doesn't want to back down.
"It is only for the show. You just tell your mom you decided you are gay. The girl is attractive everyone will turn gay on her. And anyways, it is not that you going to sleep with her aren't you?" Naomi blushed furiously with that. She finds the redhead really attractive and stupid fucking cheeks can't even deny that.
Oh well then…let's just get over it!
…..
Thank you for reading! take care all :D
