Tenacious Billionaire

Mitchelle's POV

"Let go of me, I do not want to get married to a man I barely know" I yelled at my dad in tears..

"I am not saying you guys would be married forever, all I'm saying is, during the period of our business deal, you're going to act as his wife."

"Then what am I supposed to do with my boyfriend?" I asked in tears.

"Leave that guy alone, he's definitely not good for you" my dad replied walking off

I sat down on my bed feeling extremely confused.

I don't know who Darren is, although I have heard stories of how rude and arrogant he is, but I haven't met him before.

I rolled over to the other side of the bed to turn off the lamp, tomorrow is going to be a whole lot, and I should at least get a good night's rest.

Next day

I woke up feeling energized but on second thought I immediately became demoralized. My Dad and I will be seeing Darren and his Dad today to sign the contract. I told my boyfriend about the whole deal but he didn't seem to care. I got dressed and headed straight to the sitting room to meet my Dad, I was a little bit surprised at my Dad's actions. My Dad has always been so supportive of me and will never force me to do anything against my will.

We got to the hotel we were directed to come to, It was a hotel owned by Darren, we walked into the compound and sighted Darren and his Dad Mr Smith sitting close to the pool. I wondered why we were asked to come sign a contract at a hotel.

There were two extra chairs opposite Darren and his Dad which I presume they kept intentionally. The contract was handed over to me to sign, I glanced through everything making sure I read every single word written on it. Mr Smith did the talking while his son sat down pressing his phone unconcerned about what was going on around him. I sluggishly collected the pen from Mr Smith and put in my signature. There was obviously nothing I could do at this point. My Dad and Mr Smith walked off discussing business terms.

I stood up to stroll around the surroundings, Darren didn't say a word to me, nor did he act like I existed. I took a few miles away from Darren and saw a small garden with beautiful flowers. I bent down to touch the flowers when I heard a deep voice yell "STOP ". I looked back to see who it was and there stood Darren looking at me with a frown on his face.

"Who gave you permission to touch those?" He asked in an irritated manner.

"I...I... I... am sorry, I was just trying to check them out" I replied stammering.

"You should know that this is not your house, do those flowers belong to you? Learn to mind your business and stay away from anything that belongs to me," he said moving closer to me. "Now Get the hell out of here" he yelled,

I stood up and walked away in embarrassment. What kind of human being is that, so rude and arrogant I muttered to myself angrily.

I went back to the empty chair waiting impatiently for my Dad. Is this the man I am supposed to stay with for God knows how long? I'm definitely in for a whole lot of trouble.

Darren came back to where I was sitting acting like he had not just yelled at me a few seconds ago. I felt very uncomfortable sitting close to him, so I texted my Dad that I already left. I couldn't contain my anger, I just had to go.

My dad entered my room unannounced, I rolled over to the left side of my king-sized bed to sit upright to listen to what my dad had to say. The last time he came into my room unannounced he brought the bad news of me getting married, I hope this is not another bad news.

"Good evening Dad" I greeted him tiredly

"Evening my dear, you should start packing your things"

"For??" I cut him short.

"Allow me to finish what I was saying, " my Dad said looking directly into my eyes.

"Go on Dad" I sigh

"Mr Smith requested that you start staying in Darren's mansion the day after tomorrow. By the end of the week, there's going to be a meeting for business owners all around the city of New York, so you have to be there as Darren's wife."

I looked at my dad disappointed at him.

"Daddy.." I called tiredly

"You will be fine" he patted my back and walked off

I picked up my phone to call my boyfriend, or probably my ex-boyfriend. We were having lots of issues and then me telling him I was signing a contract marriage made it worse.. he doesn't want to have anything to do with me anymore.

"Hello babe " I called

"Don't call me that, I am not your babe." I heard him say

"Seriously Drake, for how long are we going to keep quarreling?" I asked

"Look Mitchelle, we are done okay? so you should focus on your husband" he replied angrily

"Was it that easy for you to cast me away?" I asked in a shaking voice.

"I have a girlfriend so please stop calling me."

"What? you have a what?" I asked him "Were you cheating on me all this while " I yelled

"Whatever you choose to call it, I don't care, I have a girlfriend now, so please stop disturbing me" he replied and hung up on me.

My phone fell off my hand while tears kept pouring down my chin. Drake and I have had issues for a while but I never thought he was capable of cheating on me. This is so unfair..

>>>>>>>

I woke up anxious and nervous at the same time, today is the deal day, I mean I will start staying in Darren's place today. I had mixed feelings, I tried to imagine what life would be like in his place.

Mr. Smith was kind enough to send his personal driver to take me to the house.

I walked into the magnificent house while the driver assisted me with my luggage. Everything about the building pronounces luxury. The house was secluded with trees on one of DC's most exclusive streets. It had gables, dormers, a flat-screen on the front porch and formal gardens, Darren sure had a good taste. A few steps approaching the building, three maids came up to assist the driver and walked me up to the room where I would be staying.

The room was exactly how I wanted it, clean white walls, a twin bed and a sliding closet opposite the bed.

I laid on the bed to rest a little and maybe go downstairs to see if I could get myself something to eat. I rested for about thirty minutes and decided to check if I could find any maid to get me something to eat. I walked down the stairs too, but couldn't find anyone, everywhere was quiet. I sat on the stairway wondering what to do. The maids have all gone home and I haven't seen Darren since I stepped into the building. After waiting for about an hour I decided to go look for the kitchen and make myself something to eat.

I decided to make pancakes and maple syrup, as I was making the pancakes I heard footsteps walk in.

"What are you doing here??"

I froze for a second, that was Darren's voice, I could remember the voice clearly. These were the same words he said to me in the garden.

"I...I... I.. " my words failed me so I directed my hands to where The pancakes were.

"I said what are doing in my kitchen" he yelled for the second time.

"I..I .. I was hungry and couldn't find any maid around, so I decided to make something for myself to eat " I stammered.

"I warned you not to come close to me or anything that belongs to me didn't I??" He asked

"Yes you did, but I was hun..." he cut me off

"Put off the cooker and leave here" he commanded

I looked up at him shocked. By then I had already made three pancakes. He picked up the plate where the already made pancakes were and was about to throw it when I held his hands, I dragged the plate from his hands making sure the pancakes didn't fall on the ground.

"My effort cannot go to waste," I yelled and ran off with the plate to my room
