Married life

He called a few people, discussing business, contracts, and all that. We got a marriage certificate and took pictures together.

I looked at the paper in my hand bearing both of our pictures. I felt like crying. Did I just get married? Just like that?

I imagined it in different dimensions and several phases, but none of them seemed realistic under such circumstances.

As we both sat in the car, I was still lost in my thoughts about the sudden marriage. Enzo glanced at me, his new little wife. He seemed to study my features. I could feel his eyes on me. I knew I was very beautiful, with my small face and big eyes. My lips were full and my brows thick. Up until now I know, the ladies he ever got to meet either had plastic surgery done or used different layers of cosmetics. But I was just me, natural and composed.

He placed a hand on my nervously shaking ones. "Alice, don't look like our marriage is a doom for you. You might think that this marriage of convenience is a bad thing, but be patient. You've married such a beautiful and rich man; you don't lose anything, my dear."

I could sense his annoyance at my depressed face. His words, though meant to comfort, held a hint of frustration. He must have thought he had done something bad.

I looked into his eyes after listening to him. I couldn't help but feel attracted to his indeed beautiful face. Would this handsome man be my husband now?

He was very rich. At first, I thought that being the president of the popular Clinton's Firm was not that big a deal, but seeing how he managed to get our marriage certificate with just a phone call made me realize he was much more prominent than I had thought. We came from different worlds.

Did he really like me that much, or was he just obsessed?

For a moment, I had forgotten about the man I slept with in the hotel room.

I sighed and looked away without saying anything else.

The driver looked at his master and his new wife, he smiled gently, his master had been lonely and have only files and business meetings as companions.

"President, Madam, where shall I take you to?"

Alice gulped at her new title, she's just 20 and she's already Mrs Clinton.

Enzo faced her, "Did you want to go to the hospital now?"

"Hum, Yes" she murmured.

Enzo instructed the driver to go towards Peoples Hospital, Liverpool.

Alice heard this turned to him, "Oh Mr Enzo you don't have to come with me, I can take a taxi or you could drop me off at the gate"

She knew he was a very busy person, she had seen the stacks of files on his table earlier, she can't let him neglect his work for her.

And she shouldn't be expecting him to perform all duties of a husband to a wife, since their marriage is not love marriage just for benefits.

Enzo faced her with a smile, "Why shouldn't I come with you? Don't you want your brother to know me? Or are you ashamed of me?"

"No, no, no, I mean, this is your working hours, you shouldn't joke with it"

He nudge her nose and peaked her cheeks which made her surprised.

"Baby, you're married to a Boss, nobody can question me if I don't come back"

"But......"

"Shhhh......" He used a hand to cover he lips. "No buts darling, we are going together"

His insistence caused Alice to be unable to refuse.

She was silent for a few seconds, then pursed her lips and whisper softly, "Thank you, Mr Enzo"

As soon as she said this, Enzo's dark brows furrowed, looking unhappy, "Do you need to be polite to your husband?, Alice I don't care how long it will take you to adapt to our relationship, but I don't want to ever hear you call me Mr Enzo or tell me Thank you"

When he said this, his voice is possessive and dominant.

Alice was breathless with this powerful aura. She gulped heavily and whisperers, "Okay, I understand"

After sometime, they arrived at the hospital.

The driver parked at the carpark and opened the door for them Before leaving them to themselves.

Because he was silent all through the ride, she thought he had forgotten that he said they were going together, so as soon as the driver opened the door, she rushed out.

She is not used to her relationship with Enzo yet.

They are strangers and they are just married for a day.

As she made to leave, she head a magnetic ad firm voice from her behind, "Why are you dashing away in frenzy? Ain't we going together?"

"Eh?"

He walked out of the car and Walked closer to her slowly.

He unbottoned his cufflinks and stretched out his arms and pulled her into his embrace.

Being in his warm and refreshing embrace, she felt her cheeks flushed.

"Mr Enzo you....." She tried to pull him away because the people around the hospital concentrated on them.

"What?" He asked in a cool and seducive voice.

"People are watching, what are you doing?" She asked timidly.

He pulled her more closer and lowered his head, then place a kiss on her lips. He sucked in her lower lips sensually.

Alice can't help the current flow that rushed through her veins.

She pushed him away, and heard him said coldly, "Alice, I married you not because I wanted to hide you or be in a fake relationship with you, I married you because I loved you"

Alice stiffened, she knew it, he married her because he loves her. She is now married to him so physical contacts like this is welcomed.

She should not pushed him away.

She softened to his arms and submitted to his touches.

Enzo smirked in satisfaction and pulled her into his embrace more.

"Let's go I want to see my Wife's brother"

"What Wife's brother?"

"Ain't you my wife?"

"Oh"

He held her waist as she they both strolled the Passage.

Alice felt like cursing him right now, "ENZO CLINTON YOU EVIL MAN!!"
