Chapter 2
Mokuba ran to answer the door.
"Hi Miss Wheeler. Come in, have a seat at the table," Mokuba said welcoming her.
"Goodnight," she said sitting.
"You sit here while I go tell my brother that you're here."
Mokuba ran upstairs.
"Seto, she's here. C'mon, get off that damn laptop," he snapped.
"Alright, alright, relax," he said shutting it off.
"Okay look, there she is," Mokuba said pointing at her. They were well hidden at the top of the stair so she couldn't see them at all.
"Oh… My…God," Kaiba muttered in horror at the sight before him.
Serenity's hair was pulled into a tight messy bun and her huge glasses were as thick as the bottom of a beer bottle. To top it off, her clothes were a disaster and didn't even match.
"You lie," he whispered to his little brother, "You've got to be kidding me."
"What?" Mokuba whispered back trying to suppress his grin, "You said you wanted someone with a brain and that's exactly what I got for you."
"Maybe I should have stressed on beauty as well."
"Oh come on. It's nothing a makeover can't fix… a really, really good makeover."
"No. Hell no," Kaiba said, "I bet if Pegasus even saw her he'd have a heart attack. He and his husband."
"C'mon Seto, time is running out, she's you're only available option right now," Mokuba said smiling.
"You're enjoying this aren't you?"
"Very much."
Kaiba sighed and walked down the stairs.
"Good night Miss…"
'Oh shit,' he thought, 'I forgot to asked Mokuba her name.'
Mokuba who was at the bottom of the stairs was basically thinking the same thing.
"Wheeler. Serenity Wheeler," she said.
Kaiba's eyes got wide.
"What? I didn't hear you? Did you say Wheeler?"
"Yes I did."
"Heh, excuse me," he said grabbing Mokuba's hand and dragging him to the next room.
" Did you hear that? No wonder she looks like that."
" Look I swear I didn't know ok."
"There is no way on God's green earth…"
"Seto, maybe I should spell this out for you. You- Don't-Have-A-Choice."
"I don't like you, and by the way, that's not spelling it out for someone."
"Whatever just go in there and make the deal. Face it you're desperate."
Kaiba glared at him and then returned to the dining room.
"… Miss Wheeler. How nice to have you over," he said forcefully as Mokuba stifled a laugh in his seat.
"Well thank you for inviting me."
"Okay so let's eat shall we," Mokuba said as the maids brought in the food.
It was basically a quiet dinner. Mokuba made conversation with Serenity, while Kaiba sat and wondered what the hell he had gotten himself into.
After the plates were taken away, Kaiba decided that he would tell her now.
"Miss Wheeler, I have a proposition for you," he said getting straight to it.
"Oh, and what might that be?"
"I want to buy a company and in order to do that I need to be a family man. For me to be a family man I need a wife, which obviously I don't have so I want you to marry me until I get the company."
"What!"
"You heard me. You have three days to reply."
"I'm sorry let me save you some time, no. Besides why on earth would you want me?"
"Well Wheeler, we all know that you look like you crawled out of a black hole but we can fix that and besides, who can really blame you. After all you live with that stupid mutt Joey. Plus you are my only option right now. You will be well paid of course."
Mokuba shook his head in disbelief.
"You insult me and my brother for the umpteenth time, yes I know about you and Joey, and you expect me to say yes? You are really very convincing," she said rising from the seat, " I should leave," she said as she headed toward the door.
"Remember what I said Miss Wheeler. You have three days to reply or else."
"I already gave you my answer. I'm not going to do this."
"Oh we'll see. I want you to do this and I always get what I want."
Serenity narrowed her eyes and walked through the door as he smirked proudly behind her back.
