Chapter 11
“but what if something goes wrong and you get stuck there it always happen in movies” Vanessa said worried.
“look Vanessa, nothing will go wrong and this is real life not some kind of fiction movie”
“but are you sure you don’t have feelings for him anymore p>
“what are you saying of course not, not after what he did”
“why don’t I believe you. Remember back then when you came home crying that you will break off your engagement but it took a message from him for you to forget about what he did”
“then I was young and infatuated by him. But now it different really”
“okay fine, then what about Nisan, he has been with us helping us and doing everything he could for us, we cant let him down”
“don’t worry, I wont let him down and also I can get some money to help him start up something” she answered.
“so how will you tell him p>
“with my mouth how else” she said and they laugh silently.
“just be careful” Vanessa said before going inside. Then Vienna received a message from Kellie to meet. She got up immediately to go meet her.
She arrive at the cafe in a short while and Kellie was already waiting there. She went over to her and sat down.
“Mrs Kellie, you are here already, am sorry for being late” she apologized.
“its miss, am not married yet. But you are not late I just got here” she replied.
“oh am sorry” she quickly apologized.
“no offense taken. So I will tell you the things you need to know now and you will have to sign this” she said and bought a printed paper out.
“first, you must not tell Mr Clinton about my meeting with you or any of this, then your family will be allowed to stay in one of Mr Alan’s house for the period of three months, You will just need to act like his fiancee on different occasions. Like when you have to go out as a couple in public and especially in front of the whole family. Just some simple duties in the company. The main reason I contact you is that you must tell Mr Clinton that you don’t want to get married to him until after a period of three months” she explained.
“can I ask some questions before signing” she requested.
“yes go ahead”
“why did he need to do this? I mean why the need to get married?” she asked.
“i understand your question. Its a kind of rule in the Clinton family. The heir should get married before taking over. It was set down for a very long time and no one wants to disobey it except from Mr Alan. But now that his position is threaten, then he have to get a woman to protect it because the matriarch can help to keep it by taking over for a while’ she explained.
“no wonder he doesn’t want to get married because whoever he marries has a right to all his inheritance” Vienna said to herself.
“the real owner of Clinton’s empire is a woman, I guess that’s why”
“then why is Alan’s father not taking over in his stead p>
“Mr Alan’s grandfather dismissed him as an heir” she simply said. Vienna nodded her head.
“by any chance, is it also possible for Karen to take over fully p>
“yes. If that’s all then please sign now” she said and Vienna signed it without looking at it.
“on Monday, a car will come to pick you and your sister up that is if you want your sister to go with you and from there you will meet with the entire family then. That’s when the three months starts” she told her and pick the signed paper then she left. Vienna wait to finish her drink before she also left.
It was even more simple than she thought and there is no loss on her part she will just take it as one of her part time job. Today is Saturday so that’s next tomorrow.
little did she know that things might not go as excepted for her.
