Contract Marriage; Fated Love

Noah picked his food. He could barely eat. The documents he received from the hospital contained no news at all. He didn’t know what to think.

“Did Dad alter this file? Or am I mistaken? Does he really know something or am I just assuming?”

That day, he had crawled up to the window and he heard the cry of a baby. His sister! He was so happy to finally have a sister. He couldn’t see her clearly and he ran away as soon as he heard footsteps approaching. But then, he heard nothing more about her. He was told that she died.

He had refused to believe that story all those years.

And that day, he went through the hospital file closely but everything was as he was told. His mother died while having the baby because she was too weak to push the baby and the baby died a few hours later.

He pushed the plate of food aside and grabbed an apple from the fruit tray on the table. He had come to the death end. It was crystal clear to him at this moment that he had to accept fate. His sister was dead. Or maybe, alive somewhere. He consoled himself with the fact that he tried so hard but couldn’t succeed. He had at least played his part. He hoped and felt it within him that he was going to see his sister someday.

Her first day at work was uneventful. She was only informed and told at length what was expected of her. She was given an office as well. She was going to have a sort of interview with the bride to be in order to find out her taste and choice of a wedding dress. They had scheduled a meeting the following day at a hotel.

Emily was seated in a seat, her laptop placed on the table in front of her. It was late at night but she hadn’t slept. Liam was sleeping peacefully on the bed. He turned, yawned and opened his sleepy eyes.

“Mummy? You haven’t slept yet?”

“Oh Liam. Why aren’t you sleeping? Is there any problem?”

“No mum. I was sleeping. I just woke up and I saw you awake. Won’t you sleep? Whatever it is can wait till tomorrow.”

“I will go to bed soon, don’t worry. Go back to sleep my dear.”

“But mummy, my teacher said we should not stay up late into the night. He said it’s not healthy.”

“Okay. Sleep then. Mummy will join you shortly.”

“Okay mummy.”

Emily continued with her work. She seemed confused as she stared at the screen. After some time, she stood up and left the room.

She returned shortly with a glass of orange juice and was surprised at what she saw. Liam was in her former position, pressing her computer. A close look at the screen showed that he had set her right. She had been trying to configure the laptop but failed even after trying everything possible. She had spent three hours without achieving anything but her son just did it in a few minutes. He was only five years old!

What Kind of IQ does he have? She knew he was very smart but she didn’t expect him to even know more.

She had also registered him for coding and decoding classes in China upon request.

“What is China turning my son into? A genius?” she asked herself.

She moved closer to him and asked,

“How did you figure it out?”

“Let me show you. It’s quite easy.”

He showed her how he went about it and ended by saying,

“Very easy. It doesn’t take time.”

“Mmm. Yeah. Thank you so much. Go to bed baby, you need rest.”

“What about you?”

“I am too. Good night baby.”Nôvel(D)rama.Org's content.

Emily turned and looked at the little boy in shock.

How did he know so much? Even what he said was quite easy was so complicated. She didn’t understand a single thing. She just had to keep nodding her head like a lizard.

If he knew so much at this age, what more will his father know since he inherited the man’s intelligence?

Benny sipped her juice as she waited for Emily. For some reason, she wasn’t angry that the designer was a bit late. She couldn’t tell why but she already loved the designer even without seeing her. She was very impressed when she heard of her skills and fame. She didn’t mind having to wait for her.

A few minutes later, she turned towards the door and saw this very beautiful young woman enter the restaurant. Her beauty was dazzling and it made heads turn. A lot of people, male and female alike couldn’t take their eyes off her as she walked in.

“This must be Butterfly Designs!” she guessed. She waved at her and she walked towards her.

“Hi, you must be the fashion designer.”

“Yes, I am.”

“Nice to meet you. Please sit. I’m Benny.”

Benny admired her alongside every other person in the restaurant. Some men even had their cocks bulging in their trousers as they imagined her under them. She was a perfect description of beauty.

“Emily. I apologise for showing up late.”

“It’s fine.”

“Thank you,” she answered and smiled.

“Let’s get started then Miss Benny. I have seen the styles you rejected. That’s why I decided to have a one on one talk with you. It’s very necessary to work with the taste and preference of the customer. So, tell me, what kind of design do you want?

“I want a very classy, beautiful, unique…” Benny then proceeded to describe the kind of design she wanted. Something that was completely out of this world. Emily just smiled as she listened to her. She let her ramble on and when she was done, she replied her calmly,

“I will do as you said. When the draft is ready, you will see and approve it before I proceed.”

“That’s nice. Okay.”

“I’m sorry. I have to get going,” Emily apologised and left.

Benny took out her phone. She needed to tell Noah how her meeting went with the designer.

After three rings, the call connected.
