CHAPTER 3 - THE DEAL

Alexis Sierra

"I love it!" I squealed as I looked at myself at the mirror. I look so good.

"Good thing that you like it, is there anything uncomfortable?" The designer asked and I looked at the

mirror.

"The strap is too loose." I said as I pulled the strap back again.

"Let's try the wings on you." They put me on a really beautiful gold wings, it's heavy obviously but I was

trained for this. I try to walked to feel the wings on my back. I still can’t believe that I’m back.

"This is so beautiful.” I squealed.

"It suits you." She said and suddenly someone smacked my butt, I turned to see Nicole winking at me.

"Nice outfit girl." She said.

"Thanks Nic.”

"Let's take it off, it's Nicole's turn now." The designer said, I've already try 3 set of outfit and the last one

is the most beautiful one. After taking it all off, I walked out from the fitting room because it's time to go

to the gym. We need to work our body for the show.

"Ms. Sierra?" Suddenly a guy came to me.

"Yes?"

"There's a package for you." He suddenly gave me a small dark blue box and I looked at it confuse. He

asked me to sign the paper and he walked away. I looked at it still clueless from who and what's inside.: owner of this content.

Opening it and wait! What? Who send me a key? What the hell? I quickly take the letter under it and

read it.

Hello Alexis,

Just like my words, I'm locking you with me.

Don't even think about getting away again.

Put this key somewhere save, don't even think about losing it.

Love,

Cesborn.

I scoffed. A key? For what? I closed the box and put it inside my bag. I walked to my car and drove out

from there. I asked my friend to meet me.. I think he will be my candidate for marriage contract.

"Landon!" I hugged him.

"How are you doing Lexy?"

"Good as always.”

"Where were you all this time?"

"Melbourne, my family needs me.” I smiled and sat down across him.

"So what can I do for you?" He asked.

"Uh?"

"I owe you one remember?" He's right. He owe me one.

"I want you to marry me." I stated and his eyes widen. He looked at me disbelief.

"I think my ears have a little problem, can you repeat that?" He asked laughing.

"Marry me.”

"Lexy.. look I know that you're beautiful and hot but marrying you like now is a little bit hard.. marriage

is-"

"Contract.. not real marriage Landon.”

"How long?"

"1 year." He seemed to think about it.

"Can you give me time to think first?" He asked.

Landon is my highschool friend, one day he likes this girl and even made out with her but she cheated

on him so he asked for my help to get her back. It worked and he owe me that. Long time ago, Landon

was a fat kid but when puberty hits him.. damn he turned into a hot guy.

I decided to tell Landon about everything about my relationship with Sebastian so he will understand

my situation. He has to know that I'm avoiding Sebastian in all cost. I don't want to have a relationship

with him.. all I want to do is cut everything with him.

"Deal?"

"Shit.. do you know who we're messing with?" Landon said as he drank so much water.

"7 Gold Lifes.. easy as that." I shrugged.

"I don't want to go to jail.”

"I will be responsible for everything.”

"I swear what if they throw me to jail?" I chuckled.

"Don't worry.. he has to pass me first.”

"Why are you avoiding him? I thought girls love billionares and handsome man like him.”

"I can't answer that Landon but trust me.. you don't want to know.”

"Fine I'll help you." I smiled widely.

"Let's get the contract done tomorrow.. do you want to move in with me or what?"

"Just move in with me." Landon said and I nodded.

"You're single right? Why do I-"

"Yes, when will you move in with me?"

"Tomorrow.. I want to get everything fast, I don't want him to interrupt me again. It makes me sick.”

"Do you know 5 out of 7 already settle down.. why are you so afraid?" He asked.

"I can't answer that Landon but.. if the 7 Gold Lifes know the real me. They will hate me, they will try to

make me miserable." I looked down to my feet and sighed.

"You're making me curious too.”

"You'll know as the time goes by.”

"Lexy.. you like him, don't you?" He asked and I looked up to him.

"I'm not suppose to.. I keep cursing myself for it but now I have to fix it.”

"I-"

"I'm paying you.. it's a little bit hard but let's just say we have an on and off relationship since 2 years

ago after I left him. We met again in Melbourne and you stayed there for a couple of weeks for work.

We ended up dating but never publish it to the world.. because I don't want to ruin your job." I said and

Landon nodded.

"He doesn't know.. about the.." Suddenly Landon asked and I shook my head.

"He doesn't need to know.. an asshole like him will never deserve to know about it.”

"Okay fine.. I won't ask any questions again, it might hurt you." Landon said as he raised his hands a

little.

"Thankyou Landon.. I really need your help.”

"It's okay.. 1 year is enough right?" He asked and I nodded.

"That's more than enough.. I just need to shove Sebastian away from my life. I don't want him to

interrupt me again.”

"Let's buy a wedding ring then.”

"Okay let's go!" We got up and walked out from the cafe. He suddenly held my hand and I looked at it.

There's nothing.. no sparks no tingles.. of course Lexy, only Sebastian can give you that.

"This feels so weird." I said and he laughed.

"We have to get use to it Lexy.. there's no other way.” He stated and I nodded.

Tomorrow I'm officially Mrs. Margonite.
