Flash Marriage To My Best Friend's Father

Madel Cerda

I was once the heiress to the Solomon empire, but after it crumbled, I became the "charity case" ward of the wealthy Hyde family. For years, I lived in their shadows, clinging to the promise that Anson Hyde would always be my protector. That promise shattered when Anson walked into the ballroom with Claudine Chapman on his arm. Claudine was the girl who had spent years making my life a living hell, and now Anson was announcing their engagement to the world. The humiliation was instant. Guests sneered at my cheap dress, and a waiter intentionally sloshed champagne over me, knowing I was a nobody. Anson didn't even look my way; he was too busy whispering possessively to his new fiancée. I was a ghost in my own home, watching my protector celebrate with my tormentor. The betrayal burned. I realized I wasn't a ward; I was a pawn Anson had kept on a shelf until he found a better trade. I had no money, no allies, and a legal trust fund that Anson controlled with a flick of his wrist. Fleeing to the library, I stumbled into Dallas Koch-a titan of industry and my best friend's father. He was a wall of cold, absolute power that even the Hydes feared. "Marry me," I blurted out, desperate to find a shield Anson couldn't climb. Dallas didn't laugh. He pulled out a marriage agreement and a heavy fountain pen. "Sign," he commanded, his voice a low rumble. "But if you walk out that door with me, you never go back." I signed my name, trading my life for the only man dangerous enough to keep me safe.

The buzzing of the alarm woke me up , I sat up right and my eyes landed on the time .

"8:30 am " shit, I was fucking late for the interview. I jacked off and ran to the bathroom to do my morning ritual.

I ran out of the bathroom , dried my hair, and wore a simple black gown. I packed my hair in a ponytail, wore my white heels . I picked my bag without bothering to put makeup on and ran as fast as my leg could take me .

I boarded a cab

" Glitter company" I said, immediately i entered the cab, he nodded his head and drove in a frenzy.

Finally i got to my destination, I got down and paid the driver. I was standing in front of the best company in New York City, a wow escaped from my lips as i stared at the gigantic building. Not having time to admire it, i ran inside taking the elevator, I pressed the eight button, tapping my feet impatiently as i waited for the elevator to take me to my destination.

The elevator made a sound and then opened, i ran out of the elevator, running to where the interview was being held. People kept staring at me like i have gone crazy. I stopped panting heavily, knowing i was lost, i decided to ask for directions.

" Please where is the interview taking place ?" I asked a lady.

" Over there" she pointed her finger to the right direction.

" Thank you" I smiled running off .

Finally i got to where the interview was being held, and was glad my name hadn't been called.

" Thank God" I sighed in relief.

Few minutes later , my name was called. I went in and met a bald man, his head looked so funny. I had the urge to laugh but suppressed it..

" Good morning sir" I bowed my head .

" Good morning Ms Vega, please take a seat" he gestured. I sat down handling the file i came with, which contained my CV and many more .

He collected the flies going through it, while my whole attention was focused on his head, as i thought of different things i was gonna use his head for . He nodded his head and walked to the photocopy machine, printing a copy of my file and handed it back to me .

" I need to ask you some questions," he muttered. I nodded my head waiting for the questions to be thrown at me .

He threw different kinds of questions, which i answered to the best of my knowledge.

" Okay you can leave, we will get back to you" I stood up and left his office, hoping i get the job.

My name is Lucy Vega, I'm twenty four years old . I lost my parent when i was five years old , leaving me all alone to fend for my self .

I got my blue eyes from my mom and long hair, I'm beautiful and have a well curvy shape . I made sure to work hard in order to sponsor myself to school, I have a first degree in business accounting. Well that is all you have to know for now .

I walked down from the car and entered the company. immediately the workers sighted me , the whole place became quiet.

I pressed the button of my private elevator, it opened and i walked in and punched the ninth button.

The elevator came to a stop , I walked out and saw some workers chitchatting which infuriated me .

" This is a company, not a gossip house" I yelled, they all froze on hearing my voice, immediately they ran going to their various post.

Giving them all a deadly glare, I walked into my office. I sat down, pulled my jacket and placed it on the hanger , i loosened my tie, so i could breath properly.

I grabbed the landline , calling my personal assistant.
