Chapter 48 THE MARRIAGE CONTRACT.

“What?” Brian murmured, gazing at miss Lucy who glared at him. It seems Julie was the only one happy between them but surprised at same time because miss Lucy doesn't accept something except it was going to benefit her
“Wow you guys got married recently?” Rose interjected, faking a smile at miss Lucy who claimed she was married to Brian.
“What? You don't like me?” She asked, posing the question to Julie who couldn't phantom for the joy she felt.
“Come in, please…everyone…” Grandpa beckoned as everyone heeded to his saying. Brian wasn't at ease with miss Lucy's reply, what was her game this time? He left for his room as miss Lucy followed him suit.
“Why did you say yes..? I thought you were the most surprised when rise said that?” He mused as she slammed the door behind him.
“That's the only way I could get home” she thought and sighed.
“I'm under watch Brian, and only you can help me now… it's just a mere saying, it's not like we are married right?”
“How does that have to do with us getting married?”. Miss Lucy bite her lower lip and scoffed. The only reason she agreed was his influence to help her gain prestige. She must have thought this through while his family were contemplating for a reply, Brian was about to clear the confusion when miss Lucy smiled and said, "Yes only that it has been a year not 10” she corrected rose who grimace at her. How was Brian supposed to react to a sudden proclamation of marriage between him and miss Lucy?
“I'm against this” he muttered, jerking her back to reality.
“Fine then… let's just say it's a joke…and…” She paused as Brian's angry face had become gentle. He might probably benefit from this supposed marriage if he got close to miss Lucy.
“Let's make it a contract, then?” He diverted, and she smirked at him while placing her palm on her injured side.
“3 months” she petitioned, feeling pain as she was bending slowly.
“2 month” Brian shorten hoping that even a month could get him to expose her.
“What if you fall in love with me?” She said bluntly, dragging her legs towards the bed. Brian grimace, how could she be so boastful that he was going to fall in love with a demon?
“Never!” He yelled and then turned towards her, but she had slummed on the ground.
Julie kept smiling naughtily to herself, which pissed the two twins.
“I guess she's happy that her mom had returned from the hospital” max beckoned and Bella sighed.
“Why isn't she here with us?..she just followed Brian upstairs…” Bella mused, wanting to see miss Lucy again.
“Shush! They miss each other, or they might want to make a baby…”
“Max!” The two girls yelled at him, and he swallowed hard.
“I'm just excited that I'm going to have a dad now” Julie muttered, raising her eyes to the rooftop.
“I just pray this dream becomes reality” she furthered, and the twins didn't say a word or perhaps because they weren't listening to her. They were solving a puzzle at the balcony and was too engross in it besides, Julie was too excited about their liking. Rose peeped to and fro as she locked herself up in the room. She was making a suspicious call.
“Found her…” She muttered on the phone while admiring her painted fingers.
“What new did you figure out about her?” The receiver questioned harshly.
“Something happens to turn upside down, she claims to be Brian's bride now and it almost a year since she left Los Angeles” rose explained sitting on a chair close to her makeup desk.
“Cunning right? But anyway, her imagine is tarnished here…” The second sneered, chuckling.
“What are you going to do with her now?” Rose asked, stirring up an interest.
“I would finish what I started…” The receiver replied, switching off the call. Rose glared at the phone and then flipped it on the bed.
“She is always like that!” Rose commented, referring to the receiver.
Miss Lucy groaned, rising from the bed and found Brian sitting opposite her with folded hands just like a detective who seems impatient for the culprit to wake up. Miss Lucy strolled her eyes to the other side of the bed and found some bandaged stained with blood in a bowl. She placed her hand round her waist and guessed Brian must have changed the stained bandage.
“Wasn't it stitched?” He asked, staring at her as she swallowed hard.
“Pressure” she murmured, laying back on the bed as he grimaced. He was getting irritated with the way she was rolling to and fro on his bed.
“Do we get to share this?” She asked, yawning in a mockery.
“No!” He snapped standing up wanting to leave the room, and then he paused coming closer to her.
“Don't touch anything…okay?” He stressed and just then her hand accidentally flipped down a vase that was on a cupboard beside her.
“Oops! Sorry…” She apologized, rolling to the other side of the bed and then dropped a glass cup again but this time intentionally. Brian folded his fist as though he should pouch her.
“Don't worry, I would buy you tons of these okay If you just play along” miss Lucy assured, stretching her hand to him, so he could help her. He pulled her up gently, and she smiled at him.
“Thank you…for saving me…” She muttered while walking towards the door.
“It was hard to you to say those words” he mocked, walking to open the door for her.
“It wasn't, I just say it for whom deserves it” she beckoned, placing her back on the door mesmerized by Brian who was close to her as she stood between the door and him. He was gesturing to her to move aside, so he could open the door, but she wasn't moving and just staring at him. He covered his chest which was opened because he unbuttoned his shirt earlier revealing only his chest, then he stepped backward also feeling restless by her stare.
