A/N: I only own the OC
I sighed as I looked across the table at the man who had just made me a very interesting offer. I ran my hand through my hair and wondered if I was crazy for actually considering it. I didn't know him, but he had just offered me everything I needed and maybe wanted in that moment.
"Are you serious?" I asked him and he let out a low chuckle.
"Yes, you need to get away from here and I need someone. We can help each other. I will get you away from here, you will act like my wife, and we both can get certain people off our backs." He said.
I had to consider myself crazy. I barely knew him, and the only reason I knew him was because I accidentally backed into his car the other day. I knew that I should have given him a false name.
"Well?" he asked me and I bit my bottom lip.
"I don't even know you." I said and he chuckled, again. He wasn't bad looking and he definitely had money.
"What's the actual terms?" I finally asked him.
"You marry me and stay married for two years I will give you enough money to live on the rest of your life. I will leave you alone after that and you can do whatever you want. You won't even have to see me after then." He said and I nodded.
"No kids?" I asked him and he shook his head.
"We don't even have to sleep in the same room. I just need a wife so that my family will leave me alone and that I can take over the rest of my father's business." He said and I nodded.
"Where will we live?" I asked him.
"I have a large house in Florida that should do, plus it's far away from anyone here." He said and I knew that he was right. I wanted to be far away from here.
"What about the wedding?" I asked him.
"We can fake that… just go to the courthouse." He said and I nodded.
"What are you running from anyways?" he asked me.
"I will tell you if you tell me why you are in dire need of a wife?" I asked him and he nodded in agreement.
"I decided that I was going to date a guy who was in a motorcycle gang. I might have seen some stuff I shouldn't have and now they might be looking for me." I said and he nodded with a smirk.
"So you like bad boys?" he asked me and I shot him a look.
"Calm down, I need a wife because my parents won't let me take over my father's business without having a wife and settling down." He said and I nodded.
"So, would we have to act like a couple all the time?" I asked him.
"Most of the time, but no, not all the time. We will for events and around family." He said and I nodded.
I seriously didn't know if I was crazy or desperate at this point. I didn't have anyone else or any other way to get out of this. I scanned the room and my eyes fell on him. He wasn't bad looking and the terms sounded really good. I just didn't want something that wasn't too good to be true.
"Fine." I finally agreed and he smiled at me.
"Great, give me your address and I will send movers in the morning. We can get married tomorrow. I will stop by and pick you up." He said and I nodded.
I wrote down my address and he smiled at me.
"Don't fret, I will make this worth your while." He said and I nodded.
"I hope so." I mumbled.
"Beside Victoria Galloway has a nice ring to it." He said with a smirk. I sighed, but let it go. I was just hoping that I didn't make a wrong choice because I had to live with it the next two years.
A/N: Let me know if it's worth continuing. Please review
