"Lisa Pov "
I called my lawyer about preparing the marriage papers. And then I realised that I didn't even know James' surname.
Great. Just great.
I picked up my phone and dialled his number. It rang a few times, I was about to give up when he finally answered.
"Hello, gorgeous."
"Hello, Mr. James," I said awkwardly.
He chuckled. "Please. you don't need to be formal around me, just call me James."
"Um...I actually to ask for your full name; my lawyer is arranging the marriage agreement,
And I needed it ."
"Harper, James Harper, " he said smoothly.
"Okay. And if you don't mind...my family wants to see you next Sunday for dinner."
"I don't mind, and don't forget to send me the contract before we officially sign it; I want my lawyer to revise it"
"Yes, sure. Thank you, James. Have a nice day."
"No need to thank me..my lily."
I hung up the phone.
Hmmmm.
James Harper.
Could he be the famous James Harper, the billionaire?
I googled his name, and my doubts were true.
He's a fucking billionaire!
The Tabloid playboy.
The man whose name alone could buy half the city.
But whst the hell was a man like that doing pretending to be an average guy in a gay bar?
I will confront him about this later.
I kept scrolling
There he was pictures with different women expensive cars, gala events.
Wow, he's really good at covering covering up his "sexuality".
He must not be ready to come out yet.
I sighed.
Look like my fake fiancé comes with a lot of secrets.
"James Pov"
"I'm getting married, boys, " I said taking a sip of my whisky.
Connor and Graham exploded laughing so hard the table shook. We are at one of my clubs enjoining our usual boys' night out.
"Are you high? That must have been some strong shit," Graham whezzed.
"I'm not high, and I I'm not drunk, you leashes."
"So did hit your head?" Connor asked.
"No.. I'm serious, I'm getting married," I said flatly.
Connor choked on his drink. "Fucking no way. The almighty James Harper, the king of womanizers is getting married?"
"Actually.." I paused for a dramatic look effect.
"I'm gay now."
"What the fuck, man?" Graham yelled.
"Are you marrying a man?" Connor
asked, eyes wide.
"No! Calm your asses down."
I told them everything meeting Liza at my brother's gay bar, her thinking I was gay, her offer, the contract, the money, all of it.
Connor whistled, "And how exactly do you plsn on convincing her to have sex with you, smartass?"
"Don't worry, I have my ways." I said with a smirk.
"Let's make a bet". Conor pulled out his phone and hit the record button.
"If you succeed in fucking her, I will give you my Ferrari; if you fail, you will give me your brand new Bugatti."
I grinned. "Deal."
We shook hands.
Grahom frowned. "And what if you actually fall for her all the way? And she finds out the truth?
I laughed. "No way I will fall for that girl; I'm after her body, not for her heart. And I don't care if she finds out after I get into her pants."
"You a fake boyfriend for this story though." Graham said cautiously.
"Correct, whitch means, Connor... congratulations. You're my boyfriend." I said.
Connor groaned. "Hell no."
"If you refuse, the bet is off."
He sighed heavily. " Fine. Whatever."
****************
"How come you didn't tell me that you are the famous James Harper, the business tycoon?" Liza asked.
We are having dinner together to discuss the marriage contract.
"Like you said, I'm James Harper, the multi-billionaire. I don't exactly need to introduce myself to anyone," I smirked.
"Cocky much," she snorted.
I chuckled
"You're very good at hiding your sexual identity; I'm impressed. You're a complete womanizer in the tabloids. Why haven't you come out ? It's normal nowadays to express your sexual preferences in the eyes of the public." She said.
"My parents are extremely religious, if they found out I liked man, they would cut me off." I said calmly.
She nodded sympathetically. "I get that, as I come from an old-fashioned family too, they don't believe in sex before marriage, and having kids out of wedlock. They have been trying to arrange my marriage since I turned nineteen years old. You should have seen their faces when I told them that I'm pregnant with your baby," she
I looked at her bantering about her family, and a small smile curved around my lips.
She really likes provoking her family and annoying them.
I really like her smiling face and her joyful self.
"I told them that we would have dinner tomorrow, they have been insisting on meeting you."
" I don't mind."
"Thank you a lot for helping me. Even though I still don't know why you agreed, you clearly don't need my money." She added.
"You were desperate for my help; I'm doing you a favor." I said lightly.
She rolled her eyes playfully.
"No, seriously, this fake agreement is a benefit for the two of us.You need a fake fiancé and future husband to save yourself from an arranged marriage to someone you despise. For me, I get to keep my sexuality hidden from my family and save my heritage," I winked at her.
"This is the marriage agreement; if you are okay with the clauses, we can go ahead with marriage procedures." She said, handing me the contract.
"Okay, I will give it to my lawyers to check."
She nodded.
"Can we go home now? It's getting late, and I have early work tomorrow."
"Of course, let me drive you."
I drove her to her building.
"Thank you for the evening; I really had a good time."
"Me too; I enjoyed your company."
"So goodnight; see you tomorrow."
"Allow me to walk you to your apartment."
"No need; I can go by myself."
"I insist."
"Okay"
We got to her apartment, and she unlocked her door.
"Thank you again, James, for the evening,"
and she kissed my cheek.
"Goodnight"
"Goodnight, angel."
"Lisa Pov "
I looked at myself in the mirror, satisfied with my appearance. I wore a one-shoulder rose gold evening dress.
The length of the dress extends to the floor and has a split revealing my slender smooth leg.
If James were a straight guy, he would definitely be drooling over me. I giggled and shook my head.
I head out on the stairs to the living room where James is waiting for me.
I held my breath, and my eyes were looking at the man standing in front of her.
This guy was a mighty handsome stud.
He was all dressed up. He looked yummy in his black Armani suit.
He was all focused on his phone. I cleared my throat to grab his attention, and he lifted his head, and our eyes met.
He smiled.
"There you're looking stunning."
"You look good too."
He offered his arm to me.
"Shall we"
We walked together to his car. They were close to each other, and she could feel his breath warm against her cheek.
I'm feeling nervous about meeting my family
I'm scared that they will catch me lying to them.
I hope everything goes well, or I will be damned.
We finally arrived at my parents' house; James's chauffeur opened the door for us, and then he handed James a very expensive bottle of wine. And then we headed to my parents' mansion.
The maid opened the door for us.
She greets us while shamelessly checking James.
I clenched my teeth, holding myself back from snapping at her.
" The whole family is gathered in the living room "
I gave her the bottle of wine, then I dismissed her, and we made our way to the living room.
" Good evening, everyone, " I greeted them.
" Lisa, you lucky dog, you got knocked up by the famous James Harper" my sister Zoey shouted.
" Zoey, what was that? Where's your manners?"
"Sorry mother "
Mother's father, this is James Harper, my fiancé"
"James, this is my mother, Nancy, my father, Donald, my sister Zoey and her husband Jason, my brother Mark, and his wife Natalie."
Good evening, everyone, it's my pleasure to meet you"
He shakes their hands
My father was not very pleased with his presence, and he was not trying to hide it along with my brother and brother-in-law.
My mother likes him, and it was all over her face.
"Come on, dinner is ready".
We all sat around the table. My sister and sister-in-law gave me a thumbs up and mouthed it " so freaking hot ". Their husbands glared at them.
I mentally shook my head. Oh, my dear brothers, you're clueless. He would be interested in you.
My father cleared his throat
"Mr Harper, you and your family are the wealthiest families in the US,
We are not comparable to you, and I will be honored to have a business deal with you, but I don't appreciate knocking up our daughter behind our backs, out of wedlock. If I were my father, you would have a gun pointed at your head.
" Donald !!" My mom hissed at him.
" James darling, don't mind Donald, he's a father, and he's being over-protective towards Lisa."
She said, trying to ease the tension. My father ignored her and continued
" Your wedding registration will be this week and the big wedding next month "
" But dad ! "
" Shut up, Lisa. I will never allow my grandson to be born out of wedlock, and it's final. "
"Don't worry sir, my intention is to marry her. I love your daughter and I will attend to spend my life with her ", then he takes out a fancy box and my mother and sisters gasp in surprise.
He took out the engagement ring, he grabbed my hand, and put it on my finger, then he planted a soft kiss on my hand, and my heart skipped a beat, his lips were soft and warm and gave me shivers.
Everyone clapped and congratulated us.
I showed the ring to my mother, Zoey, and Natalie, and they looked at the ring in Awe. He got me a very expensive beautiful diamond ring.
He really surprised me. He was a good actor.
*****************
Finally, we called off the night. Everything ran smoothly after James proposed to me. He saved the night. The tension between James and my father cooled off a little bit. They talked at some potential business deal between them.
My mother and sisters started planning for the wedding, and I left with a headache. They want a big wedding and I want a simple wedding. It's just a fake wedding for God's sake.
"These are the prenup papers. Check the new clauses before signing " I have already signed them.
James's voice took me out of my trance. We're in his car in front of my residential block.
I add a clause that you will not demand a single cent from me, and it goes for me as well. That stank me a little bit because I will never take money from him. I'm not a gold digger, I'm an independent woman, but it',s okay he's protecting hihis s and family's money.
" You get to keep the gifts, and I will financially support you during our marriage."
" No, thanks, I have my own money to spend."
"But I'm your future husband, and it's my responsibility. "
"We will talk about that another time. "
" You will move to my mansion after we get married. "
" I will not move in with you ! I have my own home "
" We will be a married couple. How will you explain to your family and my family that we are living in separate homes? They will doubt the whole thing. "
"Okay, you got a point. "
" No dating in public"
"We need to stay faithful to each other in public, so neither our families nor the world can suspect anything. "
"I'm okay with that."
" Is that a yes"
" yes "
" pen?"
He hands me a pen. I take a final look at the contract, then I sign it.
"James Pov "
I woke up to my phone buzzing.
I pressed the answering button, and my mother's loud, angry voice hurt my ears.
"When are you going to tell me that you're getting married!?"
" How did you know?" I rubbed the sleep out of my eyes.
"It's all over the news. The business tycoons finally leave celibacy and settle down "
" I was going to tell you tonight over dinner, I swear "
" Bring her with you tonight, over dinner. No arguing " then she hung up the phone.
I rubbed my face with my palms and sighed
Lisa's parents must have spread the news to the media.
I dialled Lisa's number.
" Morning, James, " her sweet voice answered my call.
" Morning sunshine."
" Did you call about the news? I'm sorry about that. My parents announced our engagement to the media."
" Yes, and no, my mother saw the news and insisted on meeting you. Are you okay with that?"
" o-kay "
" Deal, I will fetch you up from your apartment at 7 "
" Yeah, I will be ready in time "
I hung up with a victory smile on my face.
She's fallen into my trap where I want her to be.
I can wait to have her underneath me screaming my name as I fuck her hard and raw.
Oh my goodness just thinking of her generous tits or that hot round tight ass gives me a boner.
She is so hot and tempting, I can't believe she doesn't want men in her life.
Is she attracted to girls? No, I don't think so.
If she were into girls she would tell me, right?
I need to fuck her out of my system to go back to my normal life.
I will take her to my bed, fulfil my desires, then end things with her and move on.
I need to take a cold shower to get rid of this hard-on.
**************
"Lisa Pov"
I put my final touch on my makeup.
And I take a look at my final appearance.
I wore a simple and elegant white techno crêpe knit sleeveless mermaid maxi dress.
The dress fits perfectly on my body, clinging to my body like a second skin, showing off my beautiful curves, with a subtle square neckline. When I turned around, it revealed a gorgeous scoop back with a decorative covered button accent along the back.
I let my hair down to cover my bare back
I wore matching high heels.
And I'm ready to go. James had already called a minute ago, and he was waiting in the car.
I feel nervous. What if his family doesn't like me and treats me with arrogance?
They're multi-billionaires and filthy rich!
And they want a very sophisticated daughter-in-law with the same background.
I mentally shake my head, stop with negative thoughts, it's not like they're my real in-laws.
I took my purse and made my way out, heading out of my apartment to James' car.
I found him waiting for me in his very expensive 2024 Rolls-Royce Phantom. His chauffeur opened the back seat door next to James.
" Hello beautiful "
" Hi James " I bent down to kiss his cheek. He looked yummy in his black suit and neatly styled hair.
He held my hand and kissed it
"You look lovely tonight. "
"My ring looks good on your finger " he grabs my hand and kisses it
I blushed at his compliment.
"Thank you, you look handsome too."
"Let's get going. My family is waiting for us "
********************
Holy shit!
His family is living in a freaking huge mansion, a modern palace in particular.
It was a very expensive, luxurious mansion
Everything is screaming expensive elegance and glamour. An exclusive lifestyle that I would never be able to afford.
From the impressive facade, with its towering columns, intricate stone carvings, and regal symmetry, the expansive grounds and the manicured gardens, lawns, and mature
The ostentatious mansion's garish gold-plated fixtures. Neon-lit fountains..
The maid escorted us inside. The mansion's intricate architecture, elegant chandeliers, and ornate furnishings exuded an air of sophistication that left me in awe.
The mansion's grand entrance, with its sweeping staircase, high ceilings, and intricate details, gave a sense of majesty and splendour that was fit for royalty.
"They're waiting for you in the living room. "
I bet they have multiple living areas, sitting rooms..."
" James darling, finally you're here. "
A beautiful petite woman rushed to us and hugged James, and he returned her hug with a bright smile on his face. He must have a close relationship with his mother.
"You must be Lisa, the one who captured my son's heart ". She hugged me.
"Welcome to the family darling "
"Lisa is my mother Heather "
" Good evening, Mrs Harper. Thank you for inviting me "
" Call me Heather or Mom. You're my son's wife-to-be. You are family now. "
She engulfed my arm with hers. "Come on. Let me introduce you to the rest of the family "
"This is my husband, Ralph James's dad."
He was an older version of James.
"Good evening, Mr Harper. Thank you for inviting me. "
"No need to be formal, just call me dad, your family, now," I shook my hand.
"And this is my daughter Ashley ". She's a gorgeous girl. She inherited her mother's beauty and her father's height, she looks like a supermodel.
"Hi Lisa, welcome to the family ". She shook my hand.
"Thank you "
" And this is my son.
Oh, I remember him, the bartender. I thought he was James' boyfriend.
He owns that gay bar. I mentally shook my head.
Maria has a crush on him, and I don't blame her, he's a fine piece of meat, I hope he's not playing on the other team.
He's a good catch.
"Hi Lisa " he took my hand and kissed it.
I felt my cheeks turn crimson.
"Welcome to the family " he winked at me.
James cleared his throat and seemed annoyed with his brother.
"Dinner is served, let's go " his mother informed us, then we moved to the grand dining room.
