Elena pov
Elena Woke up to the sound of her alarm,no rush for works just waiting for a particular phone call she has always expect from a client oh yes the only job she does is pick pocket since that is the only job that pays her daily.
having a sick mother at home whom she has to care for ,ever since she lost her husband her father with nothing left for the both of them.
hmmm she has always promised her mom a good life and good health how then can she achieve these she scoffed out loud.
Getting off the bed she yawned , stretched an swung her legs to the other side of the bed her feet touching the worn out carpet
Elena walked to the kitchen, rubbing the sleep off her eyes. in search of breakfast
Opened the fridge revealing a nearly empty shelf.
A half pack of yogurt,6 eggs , half jar of honey
The cupboard isn't even better.... Half a cartoon of noodles, a bag of flour, a bottle of veg oil . She sighed going for noodles and eggs again not her favorite but can do for the morning
As she waited for the noodles to be ready to eat her mind drafted to her financial struggles
Rent is almost due again, no savings left again
Her mom's medication almost at the edge of finishing
How can she meet ends , her thoughts interpreted by the smell of burning food she rushed to off the gas ,dishing her food that was almost all burnt she took a full spoon into her mouth and a knock was heard , Elena knew who it would be already only her best friend visits her
"Elena girl ! ,open up!!" Jiji's cheerful voice shouted from outside .
Elena Smiled welcoming the distraction ,she opened the door to find jiji holding a grocery bag with a bright smile
Hey bestie I got you breakfast , Elena eye widened as jiji reveals a fresh set of pastries,bread , fruits and coffee
Thanks Goddess jiji my fridge was practically empty Elena admitted . Jiji raised her eyebrows, girl when was the last time you went shopping ?
Elena shrugged. I have been putting off my expenses ,u know how it is.
Sit and let's discuss jiji said suddenly looking serious and they sat down
So what now
I have found a job for u but am not sure u will like it
What kind of job ? being a contract wife to your life time dream man
Elena's eyes widened in shock , hear me out Elena these job pays well ,u will make more in one month than that pickpocket u do every everyday u should be thankful to God that u have never been caught .
Jiji I understand that u care so much for me
But there no way am going to marry Chris for money both of know I have always loved him even though he doesn't notice me ,me applying for a contract wife what if he sees me as a gold digger or a thief or what if he gets to know my past life after the marriage
Elina your going for a contract not real is just for the money jiji said .
Ok bestie I will just think about it but I doubt if I can do that. Am glad we have a conclusion Elena I actually stopped by to check on you an talk about this ,now we have discussed it I have other places to be jiji said standing up as Elena walked her to the door
Thanks for thinking of me jiji I appreciate .
Anytime girl ,take care and think about what I said with that jiji left leaving Elena to think about her financial struggles also the tempting but distasteful job offer .
She closed the door and lean against it her thoughts swirling
She have been funding for herself and her mom ever since her dad died the guilt of having her dad been called a failure for not getting there family to a standard of life after he lost his company an everything he has giving his life to the cold hands of died
Leaving just her and her mom to these cruel world , sometimes she wonders if there a glimpse of hope thereafter
She waves the thought aside focusing on the present struggle, picking Pocket was the only thing she knows how to do best and doing it wasn't just what she loves but she has to survive .
Her thoughts were interpreted by the notification sound which echoed so loud
Checking what the message might be .
Dear elena Francisco your application of been a contract wife to Chris Lorenzo has been reviewed and approved we would be expecting you by 10 am for an interview ship she read out loud
Oh my God jiji really did apply without letting me know she did ,checking out my time I have
Just an hour left to meet up. I think I need to find something nice to at least look good .
Elena dressed in her best, looks out in the mirror to check in properly before stepping out
She rushed down the road took a taxi as she count the number of each building the car passes just to calm her nerve down .today I will be meeting with the most popular billionaire ,i hope nothing goes wrong
I said to myself.stepping down from the taxi to a magnificent building with the bold descriptions of the west gate, I process into the company standing right in front of the interview hall waiting patiently for my turn
Feeling so nervous as I see many beautiful girls,dressed so sexy and classic going in an out of the hall
Miss Francisco is your turn I heard his sectatry said . Ok then sir I stood up moving into the hall you have to put myself together I keep murmuring to myself .
Good day sir Elena Francisco by name
Good day Elena, thanks for coming by the way. Please have a seat . Elena breath cut she wouldn't believe she was meeting these man in person the well known Albert Lorenzo the father of the popular billionaire Chris Lorenzo
I will go straight to the point Elena I saw you walk through that door I liked you cause u looked quite different from others who think they can buy there way in through dressing sexy or making advances on me ,I am willing to offer u anything u want ,and give u the best life u can ever imagine if only u can marry my son ,and bear him a hire for just two years In return u will be receiving a substantial monthly salary an your dream life Albert said .
Elena eyes widened as he handed her a folder containing the agreement terms
Consider these a business dear ,u will be taking care of and your family status well secured
Elena grips on the folder tightened am not sure I can do these sir
Dear these is a luck time opportunity u will lack nothing my son's will provide u will every necessary things u need an your family's reputation is secured he said
Elena's imagined a life of luxury ,free from her financial struggles but at what cost.
What about love she asked what about marrying for love I mean we should marry for love Albert glanced at her
Love is a luxury we aren't into for now
These is business Elena a mutual benefiting agreement
My son will do his duties u don't have to worry about him ,he knows securing our family legacy is the best
Just stick to business Elena
Hmm I will try to think about the offer sir
Ok dear u have just to tonight for these offer he said after tomorrow don't call for it
She left the interview thinking about the offer since she has just a few hours ,she suddenly felt the urge to use the restroom. Glancing around she found a little corridor by theRight and decided to find the restroom turning into the corner her eye reads the signs
She suddenly stopped outside an office door frowning muffled moans drifted through the door followed by faint giggles Elena's eye brow shot up , her face warming what was going on in there
She quickly moved away as she wasn't comfortable with the sounds and continued her search for the rest room finally spotted a sign written ladies room and rushed towards it
Once done she freshened up an composed herself before leaving the restroom
As she stepped out the notices a lady coming out of the same office which she heard the moaning sound ,the lady smoothened her dress blushing as she walks away without noticing her
Elena watches the woman disappear to the corner ,her eye moved back to the office door wondering what must have happened in there
Just then a tall broad shoulder figure came out of the office Elena got a glimpse of his back
Clad in a beautiful black tailored suit before he left his view
Her phone buzzed with an income call
*Your mom medication is due an her condition has gone critical which might be requiring immediate surgery to safe her life
Elena's heart sank she knew it's from the hospital
Where will she be able to get the money for her mom's surgery
Without thinking Elena rushed back to Albert's office taking a deep breath she pushes the door open and stepped in
Miss elena I didn't expect you to make up your mind quickly Albert said smiling
I accept your offer Elena said making Albert smile the More
Good decision my dear
That was when Elena noticed the other person in the room standing with his back the tailored black suit looks familiar
As Albert gestured the man turned to face her
Elena's heart skipped a bit, that was him the guy with the board shoulder from the office earlier the Almighty Chris Lorenzo and the man of her dreams
Chris met Miss Elena Francisco, the woman who will help secure our family legacy . Chris piercing looks locked into her eyes with his expression unbearable .
Albert continued these is who u will be marrying miss elena my son Chris Lorenzo
Elena eye widened she feels she has fallen into his trap
