Mummy I got you a new husband

KARL’S POV

DNT FALL IN LOVE WITH ME…

“She cleans up nicely.”Who would have thought?” I murmured to myself as I watched Sophie address everyone. She talked with great daring and glamour. No one would have suspected she was not Claire.

For a moment there, I really thought she was Claire and I wondered what she wanted to do with me after she left me for her lover, I soon realized she wasn’t and felt a bit relieved. Upon my realization of who she was, I took a deep breath and watched as she comported herself with so much elegance.

She sauntered up to where we were after entering the building and parking the car she had brought. The press approached her as soon as they spotted her and asked to speak with her. I had never been more astounded in my life. I looked at her, unable to conceal my emotions.

” How did she manage to appear so good?” I grumbled to myself as she approached us; security had made sure the press was out of the way so she could get to the where she could speak to everyone. As soon as she got where we were, she turned and winked at me. Disgusted yet pleased that she had arrived, I turned to face everyone.

Everyone gazed at her with adoration since she looked so lovely. Her fragrance smelled so good that it filled the surroundings. I despised her guts, and everything else about her that reminded me of Claire, who was an history I was trying to forget. I suppose she was really good at surprise because I was not expecting this after her last visit to my office.

She soon signalled for the press to ask her questions, and the press enthusiastically offered her a variety of questions at once. She giggled as they all tried to be the first to ask their questions. Soon enough she eventually managed to calm everyone down and instructed them to ask their queries one by one.

A journalist asked her to answer to some of their assumptions, and she did so with tremendous insight and confidence.

“How come it was claimed that you were divorced?” One of the reporters questioned her, while the others gazed at us, expecting a response.

Sophie groaned and looked at everyone before responding; she appeared to be a great actor pulling the act away, claiming to be saddened by the rumours. If I did not know better, I would assume she was a lady who was madly in love with me and deeply upset by someone attempting to undermine our marriage.

“I am not sure where these rumours are coming from, but be assured that they are completely untrue.” She responded, sniffing her nose. Max and I both gazed at her, atonished, and a reporter, feeling terrible for her, offered her a harkerchief, promising her that everything would be fine. She leaned to the side, dried her eyes and nose, and winked at me.

“I guarantee you that our marriage is good, and we will discover those spreading these rumours and deal with them appropriately, right honey? She questioned me as she stepped up to me and grasped my hand, and I quickly snapped out of my daydream. I did not want to hold her, but everyone was looking at us and I just wanted it to be finished so we could chat and she could explain what all of this meant.

” She is lying to y’all, how can nobody see that?” I shouted in my head because I could not comprehend how she could sell the deception to everyone on such short notice.

” Where did she get the money to do all of this? Did she steal it? I whispered as I pondered how she managed to pull this off. As of yesterday, I was certain she was homeless and unemployed, and when I checked, she did not have enough money either. I expected her to come begging, yet she came with such grace and won everyone over.

” How was I supposed to refuse her now?”I mumbled as I watched the press’s excitement over how she responded to their guesses. I was appalled, and I did not disguise it. I determined I was not going to let her win so easily. Even though I had no choice but to marry her after all of this, I was determined not to allow her in so quickly. I was going to feign not wanting to have anything to do with her so she could beg to be married to me.

Though one could never be sure about these lowlifes and with a hush to guarantee the marriage went through, I was not sure I could trust her. I was paying for her service so i could not possible allow her have the final say.

She gave off the impression of being a gold digger; maybe she had sold her body for cash to acquire this glitz and guarantee that I would marry her.” I let out a sigh and mumbled again. Despite the fact that I benefited much from this, I felt as though she was taking advantage of me.

The press quickly began questioning her, and she responded so intelligently, she really outdid herself.

Nobody saw this coming especially me and after she was done with press. We both went back into the office after I gave the security guard instructions to lead the reporters outside.

I gestured for Max, who had accompanied us during the press saga , to make sure everyone left as I gave him orders to oversee security.

I was thrilled she came, but I could not possible express vulnerability.

As we walked into the hallway, headed for my office, I could not help but notice my staff’s staring eyes; she had really pulled off looking like Claire, and it paid off since it proved the rumours were false. Everyone greeted us as we headed to the office, and Sophie reacted with a smile. I intended to address my staff, but I believe I will do it the next day after the board meeting.

“How dare you, Sophie? What was that all about?” I questioned, despite my satisfaction with her actions as we got into my office. She ignored me and went straight over, grabbed a bottle of wine and filled two glasses. I declined her offer of a glass of wine when she brought it over, so she set it down and took a sip of her own. I glanced at her, even more upset by her behaviour but she did not not mind.

“Who did she think she was?” I questioned myself still glaring at her.

” How could she come into my office to pour a herself a drink?” I murmured once more as I grabbed the glass of wine she had poured for me and sat down. After I took a sip of the wine, she also took a seat and answered my prior queries after some time.

” You should be thankful. I just saved your ass out there.” She mouthed and I gazed at her, wondering what gave her the courage to speak to me in that manner. She soon handed me the files and said that she had made some revisions. I knew this would not be for a long, but she was already getting on my nerves.

” Thankful!!! For what exactly?”I blurted out but she continued to tell me about the revisions she had made to the deal ignoring my question about what I should be thankful about.

“Here’s the deal: you are going to be a father to my daughter, as you already know, and I would need an advance on the amount you are obliged to pay. There will be no sexual contact during the contract, and you may do whatever except fall in love with me.” She stated finally as took another sip of her drink and I made a grimace like I was about to puke as she said it.

” How could I fall for someone like you? “You are nothing but a low-life who works for me.” I inquired while she sipped her drink, and she paused abruptly and gazed at me, murmuring inaudibly.

I guess I didn’t have much of a choice and agreed to the terms of the contract. I was definitely going to deal with her in no small way when she got to my house. Her audacity was daring and I was sure going to put her in her place.

” I guess we have a deal then.” She extended her hands to shake me, but I disregarded her and walked right back out. I needed to pick up my child, and the time had passed.

“Just keep in mind that during the term of the contract, we will both do what is required for our children, my Son especially. I am sure you read the contract through.” I remarked as I moved away, and she followed me.

As we made our way to the car, we both pretended to be in love, and just as we were about to get in, my phone beeped, and I wondered who it was.This content © Nôv/elDr(a)m/a.Org.

“What was I expected to do with it?” I questioned myself as I walked to the car with Sophie.
