On to the story!
Chapter 3Sakura took a few steps back and Sasuke not too far behind. He was still staring into her sea green, rather aqua eyes. She was in a state of shock. He did find out. This was not right. Her heartbeat increased with every step she set back. Whole possibilities of events rushed through her head. She stopped when she realized she was against the wall.
Sakura breathed a sigh and spoke up, "look whatever you saw in the bag…. was…. the truth. I did steal it," she gulped before continuing, "look I know this may sound foolish to you but…but the money's-"
"I don't want to hear it," Sasuke said just above a whisper. He took a deep breath and looked away to particularly nowhere, "I'll let you free and keep the load, on one condition."
"What is it?" though she was scared but then there was still hope.
"You have to pretend to be my wife."
"What!" she screamed. Although it wasn't that bad of an idea, she was still not used to any of that 'womanly' stuff. After a few second she got her voice under control, "for how long?" she stated quietly looking away.
"About three months, until my brother decides to come back," he replied almost too coldly.
"B-but why?" she asked, this time looking at him straight.
"That's none of your concern. All you have to do is what I tell you to," he turned away.
"Why me?" it just slipped out. Me. Of all people. He could've gotten models for god sakes. I'm a freakin' thief for crying out loud. I wouldn't mind though. The inner Sakura spilled out to herself.
"Look, don't ask too many questions. You're starting to annoy me," he said to her in a low voice and left his room quietly and left Sakura in her own thoughts.
It's going to be just fine. Besides how hard can it be to be a billionaire's wife? It can't be that difficult. Look on the bright side; I've got a break, a well-deserved break since I was 6. Plus I get so many goodies and things.
She put on a big bright smile and headed back to her room. Then she remembered something, she wasn't here for herself. She needed the money, not for selfish reasons, but for them. This made her determination stronger. She's here for them. (A/N: you'll find out soon enough who 'them' are. Sakura did try to tell but Sasuke stopped her. Of course her past is going to show up in later chapters. I promise.)

That question still was lingering in his mind. Yeah, why her? Was it because she was the first girl he's gotten this close to? Was it because he just pointed his finger and chose her? Was it because she was strong?
Who knew why he chose her. He was still trying to figure that out himself. He could careless that she stole his money.
All of this thinking was corrupting his brain. Just as he was about to head into the library, his butler approached him, "Master Uchiha, there's a letter invitation addressed to you here."
Sasuke took the invitation from the silver, shimmering tray and told his butler to leave him be. He took out a neatly laced and decorated invitation and untied the ribbon surrounding it.
It was an invitation to a soirée, from a family friend. Addressed to Mr. And Mrs. Uchiha. Just great.

Sakura was quietly lying on her bed in her room. Thinking. Thinking about today. It was all too overwhelming to take in. It was quiet unexpected. All though it could've been worse if he'd handed her over to the authorities. It pulled some of the guilt away off of her chest, but not all of it. She was more then anything frightened about being Sasuke's wife, well a pretend one anyway.
What if she let him down? How was she going to pull this off?
Just then, she heard a knock on the door. She leaped off of the bed and headed straight for the door. She opened it only to be met with Sasuke, "Sasuke, did you need anything?"
"Here," he handed her the invitation.
Sakura opened it and was shocked, "We have to go there?"
"Yes and be ready by 8:00pm. Kay will help you pick out an outfit tomorrow," he explained.
"Yes," with that he left her.
TBC.
A/N: So how was it? Bet you didn't expect that. Anyway I know it was a short chapter but I was in a hurry. Sorry for any mistakes I've made. I promise you next chapter will definitely be longer. Anyway, hope you enjoyed it. Until next time, bye and don't forget to review!
