“Marry me.” He said.
Rosalie’s eyes dilated in shock.
“What the hell is he saying????” She thought.
Seeing her go silent, he continued;
“Marry me and I’ll give you a better life. A better name. Even your son would have someone to call a father.”
Hearing that, Rosalie pushed him off of her with all her might.
“What did you just say???” She asked angrily.
“I said that I would be a father figure to your son.” He said slowly after managing to maintain his stance and not expecting to flare up like that.
“Why told you my son didn’t have a father??” She asked again.
“Well….. I…. uhm….” He stammered not knowing how to answer her question.
“Don’t tell me you did a background check on me.” She said cutting him off.
“Well…. not really. I just wanted to know who I was doing business with.” He answered.
“Really??? What makes you think my son doesn’t have a father??” She asked angrily.
“I didn’t mean it that way. It won’t be a real marriage. We’ll just get married on paper, a contract marriage.” He explained.
“And what makes you think I’ll accept your offer?” She asked.
“Why won’t you accept it? I’m handsome, rich and famous. I have everything you’ll ever dream of in a man. Even your son loves me.” He said.
“But you don’t have any manners. We just met today and you’re asking me to marry you. My son may love you but I don’t.” Rosalie said.
“Really???” Tyler asked smiling.
“Yes. Don’t you ever mention nonsense like that.” Rosalie said and attempted to leave.
“I’ll pay you five million dollars.” He stated making Rosalie to stop abruptly.
“What did you just say???” She asked turning to look at him.
He looked really hopeful. Like he wanted a good reply from Rosalie.
“I’ll give you five million dollars to marry me.” He repeated eyeing her cautiously.
Rosalie stared at him for a while and then burst out laughing. Tyler stared at her with a frown.
“What’s funny??” He asked.
“Did you even hear yourself?? You want to give me five million dollars to get married to you on ‘paper’?” She asked making air quotes.
“Why?? Isn’t it enough?? Do you want more??” He asked.
“Seriously?? What do you take me for?? A gold digger??” She asked angrily.
“No. I don…..”
“So why are you offering me that huge amount of money?” She asked cutting him off.
“I just thought it would make you agree with me.” He answered.
“Well, for your information, you made things worse. I’m not like other women you can decieve by using your looks and money. Also, my son doesn’t need a father like you. I can manage acting as both his father and mother.” Rosalie said.
“What if I decided not to fund your products??” He asked expecting a scared reaction from her but instead he got a mocking smile.
“Too bad you have already signed the contract.” She said giving him a ‘are you stupid?’ look.All content © N/.ôvel/Dr/ama.Org.
“I can always annull the contract.” He said.
“And you’ll have to pay the fine for annulling it. Face it Tyler, you’ll lose either way and I’ll be at the recieving end.” She said.
“Really??” He asked.
“Yes.” Rosalie said adamantly.
“We shall see about that.” Tyler said smilling at her determined expression.
“Are you challenging me?” Rosalie asked glaring at him.
“Maybe.” He said smilling cockily and left.
“How I wish I could smack that smile off his handsome face.” Rosalie muttered and walked out angrily.
