THE CONTRACT

" Life isn't about finding yourself it is about creating YOURSELF"

Rose POV.

life which i created myself and i lost myself, destiny which take me where i belong and i lost again. tears rolled down from my cheeks thinking about them, wiping them .

" i miss you " i said quietly closing my eyes . i woke up earlier than usual because of nightmare taking a deep breath.

i thought of running which is the best way to clear my mind so i change in nike track suit and walk out my apartment. morning air is the best thing which help to calm yourself. she always force me to see sunrise with her and i hate that because i have to wake early. but now seeing it, i wish she is here with me. i jog to the near park, peoples here and there some are exercising and old couples here to watch sunrise with there love once. i smile seeing them.

i wish i have someone whom i spent my life and grow old with him watching sunrise with him, this make my smile replace in sad one.i shook my head and again start my jogging.

after an hour spending my time there i head back and took a shower. i wore a grey pant with black button up shirt, i put my hair in a ponytail applying a little amount of make up i grab my bag and phone , i have half an hour so i walk out and lock my door .

i hailed a cab and sat inside , i reach there in ten minutes, i paid him my ride . i head to the cafe whole cafe was empty , no trace of people i thought maybe i was their first customer i walk to an corner seat and sat there . its already 07:50 so i order a coffee and sat there playing in my phone to kill time.

" good morning ms. rose". someone said i look up to see who and here mr. bruce standing in his glory.

he wore a grey fitted suit with black underneath shirt hair perfectly comb back, his green eyes staring me as he sat in front of me damn mam why this man has to be hot i thought when he smirk and i look away knowing he caught me staring him.

A waiter came with my drink and placed it on, i thank him. he turn to face mr. bruce and ask him his drink. he take his order and go back to make his drink. after placing his coffee. i take a sip of my coffee and look at him.

" good morning, mr. bruce" i greet him. again taking a sip og my coffee. "I thought about your proposal mr. bruce " i said putting my cup on table looking at him straight in his eyes.

" And what did you decide" he ask sipping his coffee.

" i am on it" i said and he nod " but i have conditions " i said quickly.

" whatever it is, i'll accept" he said watching my reaction and smirk at my reaction. because i was shocked, he easily accepted without even listing my conditions. i compose myself and clear my throat. i rest my hands on table and lean little closer.

"lets get to the point, i have three conditions, and you already agree on that but i want to tell you" i said , he stare at me and i continue.

" first i want our relationship hidden, i don't want anyone know about this" i said which he nod.

" second as you said i can work wherever, i want." i said which he again nod.

" And third we'll live separate " i said plainly looking at him for reaction if he get my point or not, he raise his eyebrow at me .

" I mean I want my space so I am not sharing a room with you, and no physical contact" I tell him. He open his mouth to say something but close it and nodded.

" thats all i want" i said and lean back sipping my coffee.

" don't worry ms. rose as you said i already agree with your conditions, i gave you my words" he said smirking . what is with him and his stupid smirk i thought. i nod looking at my coffee.

" its done then i guess" he said and i look up at him. " yes" i said nodding my head.

" good" he said and pull out his phone from his chest pocket, he call and order whoever on the other line to sent something . we sat there sipping our coffee where i look at nothing particular and he using his phone. after fifteen minutes. A man came may be in his mid thirties. he shook his hand with mr. bruce and then turn to me.

"ms. rose, he is my lawyer mr. martin" mr.bruce introduce and we shook our hands.

"hello ms. rose" mr. martin said and i greet him and sat on vacant chair. " well i think you both know why i am here" he ask and i nodded.

" good then, mr. bruce this is the contract which you ask" he said and pass the folder to him. he open it and turn to last page and read for a minute then he nod . he pass me folder.

" read it carefully, if you have any doubt you can say we'll change it , take your time " he said in his monotone. i nod and open it to read. mr. martin describe each and every clause and i must say mr. bruce did a fare deal , after all he is a top businessman he knows how to seal a deal with equal profit.now i get the min reason why he ask me to marry him for his grandmother. i read last page and i was shock to see my conditions which i ask him earlier are printed but i compose quickly.

i read last clause which is separate living clause and i was impressed to see. when i was satisfied with it i put down the papers and grabbing a pen i sign my initial.

i gave papers to him which he sign with his initial, mr. martin take back papers from him and put them back in a folder.

"You will get a copy of contract on your wedding day, ms. rose" mr. martin said with a smile and i nodded.

" mr. bruce, i'll take my leave now" mr. martin said as he stood and shook his hand with mr. bruce and nodded at me which i smile politely in a minute he walk out of cafe. we sat there in silence for seconds, when he spoke.

"the wedding is in two days, don't worry about your dress or any other thing all you need to do is to present there on time" he said and i nod. " you can invite your friends or family members if you want just inform me how many, don't get wrong its for safty reason" he said.

" thank you mr. bruce and don't worry i have no one to invite except my two friends hailey and kyden" i said.

"the girl from club" he ask . " yes" i answer.

" and the other " he ask.

" the guy from yesterday whom you stop from stepping in elevator" i replied reminding him of the yesterday incident. he didn't say anything clenching his jaw , staring at me more like glaring, i shifted awkwardly and avert my eyes , his intense stare always make me weird but not in bad way I know it sound stupid , but that man capable of doing that. i clear my throat because of awkward silence and him clutching his hand.

" i think i should leave now, goodbye mr. bruce" i said and stand hurriedly, grabbing my phone i walk past him, he grab my wrist and with a tug i was pull to him sitting in his lap, his face so close to my liking , ok get it i like it but seriously one push and my lips can taste his . i can feel his breath on my face . his eyes look more beautiful in closer look always emotionless , sharp nose and perfect lips with smirk. wait smirk, i look at his eyes which staring at me if finding something .

i curse myself for behaving like this. i avert my ayes 'he caught me again'. i wiggle in his hold which is now on my waist , the hell when did his hand move there,

' when you are busy drooling over him' my ever so conscience stated. i internally roll my eyes.

" done checking" he says tauntingly.

' No i amnot i want to check more' i want to say that but " there is nothing to check mr. bruce" i replied, he chuckle and lean closer to my ear, i find it hard to breath.

" you have lot to check, rose" he said huskily his breath brushes through my earlobe which sent shiver run down my spine. he lean back . " And its zyan for you" he said smirking at me knowing the effect he had on me. and i stare at him.

" will you uh-- leave m- i trailed off, my hand" he chuckle and lose his grip on my waist and i abruptly stood up closing my eyes and exhaled deeply.

" you are going to select your dress tomorrow, i will send my driver to escort you" he said which i nodded.

" come I'll drop you " he said and start to walk to the door. " no mr.bruce its ok , i have to go somewhere else" i said.

"its zyan and wherever you want to go i will give you a ride" he said.

" well its personal mr. bru-- ah zyan" i said quietly. He frown “ its not an op but stop in mid way, he look out for a second than nodded his head to my relief.

" my driver will be there at 4 " he said and leave. woah what a gentleman leaving a girl here alone.

' you ask for this' again stated taunting me .

I sign and walk out he was nowhere , is he superhero he always vanish from my site in a blink. I thought. Shrugging my thoughts I book a cab and sat there..

ZYAN POV..

"My driver will be there at 4" I said hurriedly and walk out and head straight to an alley.

"Here" I heard and turn.

"What the fuck are you doing here " I demand angrily.

" Calm down man i am just here for my work and saw you at cafe with the beautiful girl, by the way who is she" he ask smirking .

" none of your business" I said coldly glaring at him .

He put his hands in surrender " cool dude I am not taking her from you" he said. He pull out his cigarette, putting in between his lips , he lit it .

"hail have a guest " he said, I knit my brows at him , he roll his eyes.

" and he is not a good news for you, I only hear him saying a name" he said taking a puff.

" and what it is" I ask crossing my arms waiting for his reply.

" Rose Bella Smith " he said. Mu mind stopped working, every single muscle of mine tensed, my blood started to boil. I clench my hand.

"I already knew " I said sighing. "Anything else" I ask. " nothing" he replied.

Taking a deep breath, I calm my anger. He is getting on my nerves.

" isn't she?" He ask, and I glare at him. He chuckle walking in a crowd and said " happy married life if you can" and vanish in the crowd.

I fish out my phone and dial my second in command. He picked at second ring.

" do a investigation about the unknown guest of derek" I command and hung up.
