16 DAYS BRIDE - Episode 3

?Faye’s pov contd?

He opened the door for me and i got out.

He took me in, to his furnished living room, it’s damn big.

“Achoow, Achooow ”

He kept me on the couch,

“Hold on, I’ll be right back” he said and left.

This Mr famous house is big, I wished I lived here, unlike my house that the rent expires in 2 days and I just got fired.

I can’t believe I’m doing this, I’ll explain to him tomorrow.

He c@m£ back

“Achoow” I sneezed.

He covered me with blankets and gave me a cup of h0t cocoa.

“You’ll be ok, stay here tonight and I’ll take you home tomorrow ” he said and I nodded.

**THE NEXT DAY**

I woke up grimacing, slee-ping on the couch is not a nice thing.

I checked the time and it’s 10:00, I heard footsteps step coming.

I hurriedly l@ydown and close my eyes, pretending to sleep.

I peeped and I saw him, placing a paper on the table.

Then he left.

I opened my eyes, checked the paper.

“In case you wake up, there’s toast in the fridge”

I got up to the fridge, and carried the toast, I turned on the toaster to toast the bre-ad.

I placed it on the plate.

I was twirling around the living room, then suddenly the door open.

“I think I forgot … ” Keith st©p and glared at me.

?Keith’s pov?

So she was awake?

She doesn’t look sick and she’s on her feet twirling holding a plate of bre-ad.

“Glad, you’re awake, because I think you fooled me? ” I sneered.

I reach into my pocket.

“Here you go, ” I gave her money.

“Transport fare to your house ” I said.

“plea-se, I’m sorry ” she said.

“Sorry I lied to you, plea-se un-derstand I had no choice, it’s just my life is falling ap@rt one by one, I lost my job and my house rent expires tomorrow, I couldn’t go home because my landlady will…. ”

I laughed, this is nons-en-se

“I was once fooled by you, I don’t want to be fooled again ”

“No, no, believe me ” she said then brou-ght out a paper from her bag.

I took, it was her rent, it’s true.

Then I looked at her and frown.

“I’ve heard you’re nice, plea-se just give me 2 days, I’ll look for a job, then I’ll leave ” she said.

“Fine” I answered coldly and went upstairs.

?Faye’s pov?

3 hours later

Gaaarrgh, It’s been 3 hours since I went to find a job and I can’t seem to find any.

I can’t depend on Keith, I just got 2 days

I c@m£ back angrily tossing my bag on the chair.

“Ouch”

“Sorry, I didn’t know you were there ” I apologize to Keith.

“It’s fine, so did you get the job? ”

“No, I can’t seem to find a job ” I said pouring my anger on him.

“Then, I’ve got a job for you” he said and my mood brighten a bit.

“What job? ” I asked.

“I want a very important company from my dad, he wants me to come over to stay with him for 16 days with my wife, so…. ”

“…Your job is, I want you to be my 16 days wife” he said.

Excuse me, did he say I should pose as his Wife for 16 days.

“Your pres£nce will help me get that company and in return, I’ll give you a house and 20 million dollars ” he blurted.

What the fv¢k, this is big of a deal.

This is one in a million opportunity, or else I’ll be on the street tomorrow.

After the job, I’ll get my own house and 20 million dollars.

“I accept the deal ” I uttered.

“Great, we’ll go shopping today because we are leaving tomorrow ” he said.
