Chapter 1:

Rio de Janeiro

Draco Malfoy is currently in Rio doing business meetings here and there. Usually Rio is the city wherein it could be an endless party, especially for a man with money, extraordinary good looks and connections.

But Draco is not in the partying mood right now.

Draco Malfoy, hottest bachelor in the Wizarding World according to the Witch Weekly Magazine and also a well known business man in the Muggle world, is the owner of Malfoy Corporation, a Security type of business, which installs security systems, both in the Wizarding world and Muggle world. His security systems are known to be 100% effective against burglars, intruders, housebreaker, etc. It is a system that is popular all over the world. And he needs to close a very important deal with Mr. Richard Dawson, a very wealthy business tycoon in Rio, who is willing to pay him twenty million galleons a year for his company's service. Malfoy Corporation is given full security responsibility to all his business properties and his residential manor.

So far his meetings went well, and tonight Draco and Richard will be closing this deal at the Dawson Manor, an odd request but Draco won't risk losing this deal. He is currently on his way to Dawson Manor ready to close the deal with Richard.

As he drives his BMW Convertible he can't help but think about his last conversation with his best mate, Blaise Zabini. Five years after graduating at Hogwarts, He and Blaise decided that they should just share a flat; for living on a big and soulless manor is depressing enough. Though this "flat" is more likely twice as big as a normal high class flat, what would you expect from those highly sophisticated men? Then after sharing the "flat" for a year, Blaise met a girl and they choose to elope. So Blaise is technically married to her for fourteen months now; to a girl Draco never met. He might have taken it lightly to know that his mate is very well happy and content if he have known the girl or even meet her. He was just shock to see Blaise; one day with his suitcase packed and is ready to go. Saying that he's off to his honeymoon to New York! Draco was shock to respond and all he can do is to nod and Blaise apparated away.

There were fourteen months of no communication, so he was in shock to receive an owl from Blaise. His letter said that he's alright and he's very much happy right now. Included in the letter is his cell phone number (Draco learned to use this Muggle contraption due to his business in the Muggle World, and Blaise maybe from his 'wife'.) in which Draco dialed his number as soon as he received the owl. They talked for almost 2 straight hours. Blaise promised Draco to give him a visit when Draco's back in London from Rio and promised him a BIG surprise when they meet again!

Setting those thoughts aside, Draco arrived at the Dawson Manor. He was greeted by maids and servants in the front door and at the end was Richard's Butler.

"Mr. Malfoy, welcome to the Dawson Manor, Lord Richard is in his study, if you will follow me."

Draco followed the Butler until they reach the study, and he led him inside. When he got in, he saw Richard talking to somebody on the phone.

"…yes, I know, but I really hope you'll think about it. I believe it's time you find – I know, I know, I just hope you'll accept my – okay, at least you'll think about it." By this time, he noticed Draco's presence.

"I'll call you again, and you know how stubborn I am – you got it from me!" Richard laughs,

"Okay, we'll talk soon. Goodnight. Bye." He places the phone down and greeted Draco.

"Draco, my friend! Come and take a sit."

Draco walks over and shook Richard's hand.

"I hope I wasn't interrupting something." Draco said.

"Oh, no, you're not, it was just a call from a very special person in my life. She's like a daughter to me, and ever since her parents died, I took her under my wing. Since I don't have any family on my own she's the only person close to me as a relative. She is also my godchild. Well, enough of this chit chats! I believe we have a contract to close." Richard said. He and Draco signed the contract and used the butler as their witness. After closing the deal, they had a little drink of champagne as a little celebration for a good start of the new business. As they celebrated, Draco noticed Richard spacing out.

"Richard, are you okay? Something's bothering you." Draco said.

"As a matter of fact, yes there is Draco, and it is very difficult to discuss this with you."

"Is it about the contract? You know that you can't back out now. We have closed the deal. I mean –" Draco was butted by Richard

"No, no…of course not, it's not about the contract, I have entrusted my business and my manor to your security systems. I know that you won't fail me." Richard said.

"Then what's bothering you?" Draco took a sip on his champagne.

"This is very difficult for me Draco."

"But?"

"But there is something I must ask from you." Richard released a nervous laugh.

"And I am not exactly good at asking favors. Not that this is a favor, exactly. I mean, it's something that you might find favorable for you than for me." Richard sighed.

"And what is it you must ask?" Draco asked now interested to the "favor".

Richard cleared his throat. "You are unmarried Draco. Am I correct?"

"Excuse me?"

"I said you are single. Am I right?"

Draco frowned. What did his marital status have to do with anything? "Yes, I'm single."

"No children then? No fiancés on the other side of the world?"

"Wait, Richard, what is this about?" Draco asked, now confused.

"Remember the girl that I was talking about awhile ago, the girl I took under my wing when her parents died?" Richard was looking at him in the eyes.

"Yes, I remember but what is the connection? What about her?" Draco questioned, now completely perplexed.

Richard sighed, "Well, I treat her as my own daughter, and I want her to have the best. She's a very beautiful woman, around your age, very passionate, very kind and well mannered. She's also very bright and well educated. As a matter of fact she's one of the brightest Witches at her school. And-"

And, Draco thought in horror, as the truth began to sink in, Dawson wanted to marry her off. To him?

"I'm very modern man, Draco. Still, when it comes to her, I have some old-fashioned ways." Richard continued.

Hell. It was definitely to him. He'd heard about this kind of thing. He was once tied up in an arranged marriage with pug faced Pansy Parkinson, so good thing his father had died and the marriage was called off. As if he would really marry her, anyway. After all she's only after his money and the "Malfoy" name.

"…would never have her off to a man I didn't trust and respect…"

It's Draco's turn now to space out. He finished his drink in one gulp. He had to think a way out of this "favor"! He didn't want to marry NOW. There's always a time for LATER. He is still enjoying his bachelor life and the freedom to pick one girl to the next. Draco was not yet willing to give that up. He had to ask.

"Excuse me Richard, but are you saying that I marry her?" Draco said horrified.

"..a charming young woman, Dra – what? Marry her? For goodness sake! Of course not! I won't do anything like that to her. I'm giving her the choice whom to marry."

Draco's brain was working twice as fast. "So you mean you're not going to ask me to marry her?"

Richard laughed and Draco was mortified, by his jumping into conclusions. Way to go Draco, he thought.

"I apologize, I should have not laughed. What I'm going to ask you is to just consider going on a date with her. I believe that it's time for my goddaughter to meet up with some well respectable man. She's been living on her own right now and I feel that she needs somebody in her life to help her." Richard smiled.

Draco sighed in relief as Richard poured him another glass of champagne. "I hope you will consider this as well, Draco." Richard asked sincerely.

After a moment of silence, Draco replied, "Yes. I'll consider your 'favor'. However, I was hoping that by tomorrow I'll be back in England. I have to meet with my best mate. I haven't seen him for fourteen months now."

"Oh there's no problem with that, she's living in England. I'm really thankful that you agreed with this Draco, I can't trust any other man for this." Richard shook his hand. Visibly glad that Draco agreed to consider this 'favor'.

As Draco left the house, Richard told him, "Draco, I'll give you a call a week from now. I'll set up your date with her." Richard laughed.

"Alright. Thank you for closing the deal with us, Richard."

"Expect more to come, Draco, MORE to come." Richard waved goodbye and turned back to his Manor.

As Draco drove back to his hotel, he realized that he don't know the name of the girl he was supposed to meet. Well, let's not cross the bridge till we get there,Draco thought while looking forward in seeing his best mate back in England and meeting this 'girl'.
