  CANDICE'S POV

  “And done

  The stylist says as she drops her equipment and smile broadly at me.

  I heave a sigh that says, not so happy as I gaze up at the mirror.

  My beautiful not-so-happy reflection staring back at me. So this is really it, I am really getting married.

  For the tip, today is my wedding day.

  Yeah, I'm not so happy about it. Weddings days are supposed to be beautiful days, right?

  I mean, a very happy occasion when you walked majestically down the hall, hands linked to an old man, you walk to your so-called Prince Charming grinning throughout, happy that you're finally going to get married to the man you love, but mine isn't so much like that. Yes, I'm not happy at all, and sincerely I never thought my wedding would turn out like this.

  Probably wondering why I'm not happy on my wedding day?

  Yes, I'm all dressed in a white lovely gown stoned with white pearls and diamonds with a lining that revealed my back and my hair is styled in a nice royal looking one.

  Everything seems right with me but how am I supposed to be happy when I'm getting married to a beast!

  Sure as hell! As much as it disgusts and irritates me to admit me, I am really getting married to Damon king! The ruthless devil!

  How it ended up?

  It all leads back to that contract.

  *Flashback To Five Days Ago*

  “You again! “

  The voice had jotted me back to life from my grinding thoughts.

  [I was seated on one of the benches along the street road thinking about my little brother.

  I was called from his school that he suddenly collapsed, and I took him to the doctor who diagnosed him with a life-threatening disease — Alzheimer's disease.

A disease that's caused by damage to the neurons which can lead to mental disability or death of the patient.

He said he has only a few months to live if the operation isn't carried out.

  Operation that cost millions of dollars! When I barely have a hundred thousand dollars with me. I'm a small lady who works at a small supermarket and lives at a small apartment struggling through life with my little brother. And now this disease! Isn't it enough to think about? ]

  I gazed up at the voice, and I was surprised.

  Still surprised, I stood up “You?! “

  A bright smile made it way to his stupid face. I don't know why the hell he keeps following me!

  “We meet again sweetheart! “

  He breathed out loudly while I sighed.

  “I told you to stop calling me that

  I frowned.

  [I had earlier met this jerk at a nearby store, and he wouldn't stop staring at my boobs, so I slapped him! ]

  “Seems like we didn't get to do the introductions earlier because you were in a hurry. I'm Damon King. Probably heard of me

  I frowned. Who cares?

  I needed money!

  “Go to hell! “

  I spatted.

  “Let's do this again, shall we…? “He moved closer to me and leaned against my ear, his cold breath brushing against my skin “... I want you in bed "

  Irritated by his dirty language, I pushed him away. My hands getting the feeling of leaning against his manly chest.

  “So you're proofing hard to get. How about we negotiate. How much is your pay? “

  Fury clashed over me! How dare he thinks of me so lowly! What does he take me for? A whore?!

  Angrily, I slapped him and his cheeks turned red! Don't care.

  “I don't want to see your disgusting face again. “

  I spatted, about to make my way out when he pulled me back, pulling me so close to his body. I could feel his hard breath on my face.

  “No woman has ever dared to slap me except from my mother, but you did! Twice!.. “

  He smirked “.you're so brave, you keep making me crave more of you. “

  Irritated, I pulled away from his body “You said no woman. I'm not a no woman and if you go beyond your boundary, I'm going to slap you over and over again. "

  I gave him one last glare and walked away.

  * The Next Day *

  I was seated in my room, still thinking of where to get millions of dollars when a call came in.

  I picked up my phone, and it's an unknown number.

  Pressing to the receivers button, a voice came in.

  “Hello Candice. "

  I furrowed my brows.

  “Who are you? “

  “Thought you would recognize my voice. It's Damon. "

  Still confused. “Huh? “

  “Do you ever listen to news? Watch the TV? Read the newspaper? Damon King?! “

  The jerk!

  Hissing, I said “How did you get my number? Or even know my name? “

  “Told you I'm Damon king. Anyways about our last discussion... "

  I hung up. Not ready to listen to his fucking trash.

  He called again and again, it was driving me to the point of insanity. When I got fed up, I picked the damned call.

  “What the hell do you want from me?! “

  I yelled.

  “If you want to save your little brother, meet me at the amusement park. "

  Line dropped!

  Still amused he knew about my brother, I decided to check about him.

  Damon King. Might have seen him on the city's bill board but never knew he was this important.

  I picked my bag and made my way to the park.

  ***

  *AT THE PARK*

  I saw him sitting on the bench all dressed in a suit which hugged his perfect manly body. Not here for that.

  With a heavy heart, I walked to him. He gives me a creepy smile that made me cringe inwardly when he gaze landed on me.

  “Finally here, thought you weren't coming. Sit. "

  He gestured to a seat beside him and I thought real hard before seating at the far end. He chuckled “I don't bite

  Swallowing I said, “You wanted to meet? “

  “Yes, I've a deal to make. "

  I sat well, indicating I'm listening.

  “I found out about your younger brother, and I'm going to help… “

  I smiled, but it only took seconds “But you're going to have to marry me for a month. "

  What?!

  He stretched a paper to me and I took it reading out its content.

  'Deal between Candice Gold and Damon King.

  This contract is valid for a month.

  Candice is going to marry and act as Damon's wife for a month.

  Candice is going to be Damon's personal assistant for a month and also, Damon will do whatever he wants with Candice for the same month'

  My eyes widened… The hell!?

  I stood up angrily and threw the paper at his face “what the hell?! “

  “I see you don't wanna save your brother. "

  What the…

  “To hell with you and your money. I was a fool for even thinking you would be decent for once and coming here. "

  Grabbing my bag, I walked away angrily.

  **Next Two Days**

  I tossed round on my bed thinking about the contract.

  I really had no other way of getting the money.

  The doctor had earlier called that I was delaying too much and the operation needs to be carried out fast and here I am, without money! Nothing at all! I had tried getting jobs, but it seemed like fate had decided to play a joke on my life. I couldn't find any good job and the ones that I found, it would take forever to be able to save that much amount.

  He agreed to help with my brother, but it comes with a price… My dignity.

  Was I ready to give up my dignity for my brother?

  ***

  After thinking hard and arriving at a conclusion, I was going to do it.

  I have to save my brother.

  It's only for a month anyways. I will do it. I have to do it.

  Picking my phone, I placed a call to him.

  He picked up the fifth time and I breathed out.

  “Who's this? “

  “Um… Candice? “

  “Candice?! “

  Annoyed, I said “Yes jerk, the same Candice you were going to make a deal with. "

  “ I'm a very busy man, so I don't think much about people I met in a day or two. "

  Such a fucking egoistic monster.

  I scoffed and sighed “I called to let you know that...

  “Tell me? “

  I breathed out “I'm going to do it. "

  *Flashback Ends*

  So that's how I ended up here, about to get married to a devil called Damon King!

  As much as I pray this is a dream. I'm really doing it. I'm getting marry to him! And somehow I just know, this decision would change my entire life and oh, in a very bad way.

  I will be ruined.
