THIS CHAPTER IS ALLISON'S P.O.V:
*NEXT WEEK*
Allison's P.O.V:
I've been in the shop for two hours and I hate it. Who wants a coffee this hot in the afternoon? I prop my elbows on the counter with my hands holding my chin. I keep on switching my weight with my feet. Once I'm on my left foot then a minute later I'm on my right foot.
"Are you dancing?" Chloe asks.
"What?" I ask.
"You keep on shifting your foot. So it looks like you're dancing." She says. I look at her then back to the front door. All I want to do now is to lie in my bed and hibernate. A phone ringing interrupts me from my daydream about apple pies. Suddenly I feel my phone vibrating from my back pocket. I grab it and look at the caller ID: Mom. Curiosity fills me in so I answer it immediately.
"Hi M-"
"Allison! Come home quick!" my mom shouts.
"Are you okay?!" I ask.
"Just come home quick!" she says. That's all I need to hear before I dash out of the shop not even bothering about my boss who's yelling my name to come back. My heart is pounding out of my chest. What if something bad happened to my mom? Or worse, what happened to my parents? I didn't bother waiting for a bus so I jump into a cab. I don't care if it cost much; all I want to do is to go home. Finally I reach my home. I give the driver a 90 bucks and that's all I can offer. I run as fast as I can until I enter the house and go straight to the living room. I hear my parents giggling?
"Mom? Dad?" I ask as I see my parents sitting on the sofa.
"Oh, Allie. Come here." My mom says. I walk towards her until I see a guy in a tuxedo.
"Why are you here?" I ask. The guy in a tuxedo glances up at me.
"Honey! Why are you talking to your fiancé like that?" my mom asks.
"Fiancé?" I ask as I look at Kendall.
"Oh honey, it's okay we accept him." My mom says. I look at Kendall and drag him by the ear.
"What are you doing here? I want to hear the truth now." I demand.
"Chill woman. I'm just here to ask your hand for marriage for one hundred billion dollars." He says as he slips something out of his pocket and he gives it to me. I look at it and it's a freaking check with my name in it and the one billion dollars. I look at him and he seems like his waiting for my answer.
"I'm not that kind of girl!" I say.
"Look, I know your family's condition and I'm just here to help. I've heard that your mom is pregnant for twins and you're the bread winner of this family since your dad just lost his job and he's diabetic. Just accept the money and we can be married while your parents and your siblings will be rich. Don't you want that kind of life to your family? Think about it, it's a billion dollar, you need to work none stop to have that kind of money. If you like it we can change it to cash tomorrow rather than that check." He says.
"Why me?" I ask.
"Because I know that you can't fall in love with me and I hate all of the girls that my dad recommended for me so I have decided to choose you." He says.
"I'll think about it." I say.
"Okay." He says and we stay in silence.
"So…what do you think? Is it a deal or no deal?" he asks. I look at him like his the most idiot guy I have ever met…even though he is.
"When I said I needed time. It means that I need a day to think of it." I say and he nods before walking out of the hallway. I stare at the check in my palms as I imagine what would happen to my family when I accept this. I sigh and put them on my pocket.
*the next day*
I keep on tapping my nails in the counter as I watch the clock moves every second. I sigh and glance on my phone. Kendall left me his calling card in case I 'change' my mind. The whole situation is still a bit blur to me. It makes me feel like I'm selling myself to some stranger. I feel like a slut.
I grab a pen and a notepad under the counter and I start to doodle. As I keep myself entertained, I finally know my decision. I turn to another page and start writing some stuff before calling Kendall.
"Meet me at the Savory Garden in 10." I say as I hang-up.
*SAVORY GARDEN*
While waiting for Kendall, I scan the paper that I'm holding right now. I make sure that it's completely understandable and suitable for both of us. My thoughts get interrupt when a limousine stops in front of me. That's when Kendall comes out wearing a baggy pants and a plaid shirt. I didn't know a guy like him can make simple clothes looks designer edition.
"What do you need?" he asks as he keeps on typing on his phone.
"I'm here to say something about your offer." I say as I keep my serious face on.
"Go on, I'm listening." He says. Suddenly a guy in a black suit stands next to him.
"I'll take it. I want a new life for my family." I say.
"Good, the money will be send to your parents today. Don't worry, they know all about this 'deal' that we have and surprisingly they agreed." He says as I stand their shock. My parents agreed on his deal?!
"I notice you have a paper." He says as he grabs it from me.
"Okay, since I agreed on our deal. I have some rules." I say and he nods as he scans the paper. I grab it and start saying the things written in the paper.
"Okay so here it is." I say.
I, Allison Rose agreed to be the wife of Kendall Night…
"You got the surname part wrong." He says as I give him a death glare which makes him shut up.
"As I was saying…" I say.
I, Allison Rose agreed to be the wife of Kendall Night for one billion dollars. To be fair with this deal, I made some notes and he should promise to accomplish while we're 'married'.
Allison:
1. He (Kendall Night) must not fall in love with me.
2. He must respect any decisions that I will make.
3. He must respect me for I am his 'wife'.
4. We must act as a couple ONLY in public places.
5. If the deal is done, we must not speak to each other. For short, we must be strangers to each other.
To be fair for Mr. Night's side, I allow him to list down his notes that we/I (Allison Rose) would promise.
I look at Kendall and he smiles at me. I hand him the paper and he gladly take it.
"Okay, time for me to make some notes." He says as he starts to write on the paper.
"Please don't put there that I have to 'made love' with you all night." I groan and he just looks at me then smirks.
"You just give me an idea in rule number five." He says as he writes it down on the paper.
"OKAY!" I yell as I grab the paper from him and fold it.
"Who's going to keep it?" he asks. We both look at each other, then to the guy inside Kendall's limo.
"How about him? He looks like he can be trusted." I say as I point at his driver.
"Alex it is!" he says as he grabs the paper and knocks on the driver's window before giving him the paper.
"So… when are we going to tell them?" he asks as he comes back.
"I don't know, I'm still processing everything in my mind right now." I say.
"Do you regret it?" he asks.
"Yes." I say flatly.
"Then why did you accepted it?!" he yells.
"Because I love my family and I'm doing this just for them." I say and he nods before he takes a deep breath.
"Can I ask you a question?" he asks.
"You already did." I say. He rolls his eyes and look at his surroundings.
"Do you have a boyfriend?" he asks.
"What?!" I ask.
"A b-o-y-f-r-i-e-n-d… Do you have a boyfriend?" he asks.
"NO!" I yell feeling kind of embarrass since I only had one and it was a nasty break-up.
"Good, at least I don't have to deal with some angry guy saying I stole their girlfriend." He snorts.
"Whatever Mr. Night." I say.
"Good, and by the way, it's KNIGHT as is Knight in shining armor not Night as in the dark." He says.
"I don't see the difference once you said it." I say.
"Just be ready for some paparazzi tomorrow or maybe this week and it you do, don't say a word until I tell you to do so." He says as he slips in his car. I sigh and run my fingers on my hair as I walk at the bus stop. I really don't know if I should be proud of what I'm doing or I should be ashamed. I enter the bus and sit on the far end and look at the window. I can see my reflection with a 'SLUT' written on my forehead. I close my eyes as I let my tears fall. I'm only doing this for my family.
When I finally walk inside our house I can hear my mom crying and I can also hear the smoothing voice of my father. I walk straight to the living room to see two brief cases in front of them.
"What is going on here?" I ask.
"We finally have money. Thank you Allie." My mom says as she paddles towards me. Carrying two babies inside you isn't that easy.
"What are you talking about." I say.
"Mr. Knight left the brief cases with money in it. One billion dollars, Allie. We never have to worry about your mom's pregnancy." My dad says. I nod and hug my mom tightly.
"Thanks honey." My mom says. I close my eyes and try not to cry. Now I know that money can buy everything…even your freedom.
