A Billion Dollar Sin

Chapter 12

Fatima's POV

"Finally!" I sighed, laying facedown on the expensive leather couch in the living room. Since morning, I've been moving all of my things from my old apartment to the condo below Sebastian's. Yasmin has been helping me out since she did not have school and Malik her husband was at work. After all, it was a Thursday afternoon and I had today off from work, courtesy of the boss.

"What do you mean finally? We have to unpack everything and put it where it is supposed to go" Yasmin stood behind the boxes. I didn't know I had this many stuff and I had to donate some and throw away the rest, and still, the car was full.

"Can't we do it another day?" I whined , turning my head around. This couch is so comfortable. I can definitely sleep here for the rest of my life

"Nope. Now get your tiny butt and come help me"

I got up and went to the mirror to check myself out "I mean it's not that big, but it's not that tiny either" I argued back

She giggled at my reaction "At least you got up. Now let's do this"

I just rolled my eyes and took the first suitcase and brought it to the first room. My mom was comfortably laying down in the second room, and probably sleeping now. We had to literally force her because she wanted to help us unpack. She asked me a lot of questions about this new apartment and I had to convince her that it came with the job. That was a tough thing to do but she finally accepted it. I also told her I have to travel tomorrow and she was against it at first, but finally came around, and now, Yasmin is going to stay with her for the weekend.

"Damn, Sebastian is definitely whipped, look at this bedroom" Yasmin looked in awe

I went straight for the bed and jumped on it, forming the starfish position "I know right? And look at the bed, it's huge and so soft"

"What is the real reason behind all of this? And don't you dare tell me it comes with the job, there is no way I will believe that" she questioned me, sitting down next to me

I turned around and looked at her. Should I really tell her? Technically, I am not supposed to.  Elijah will definitely be against it and so will Sebastian. I grin at the idea, that is exactly why I will tell her, plus I was dying to do so

"I will tell you, but you can't tell a soul" I warned her

"My mouth is zipped" she whispered coming closer

I took a deep breath before starting "Well, Sebastian is my boyfriend"

She opened her mouth, closed it and opened it again, the words struggling to come out

I elaborated further "He is just my boyfriend by name, and it's a platonic relationship. We both signed a contract where we are faking it for his parents and media. Apparently they want him to settle down and we both know the player. By the way, that is the reason why we are going to visit them tomorrow, it's not really for work. And we are going to tragically breakup after 6 months,which will leave both of us heartbroken, and then his mom will leave him alone for a while."

"I knew it!!! I mean I knew there was more. This is definitely juicy. I can't believe you didn't tell me about this until now, I feel so hurt, but at the same time this is so cool, it's like reading those books that start with a contract and ends up with the couple falling in love, that is so romantic" she grinned raising her eyes to the ceiling. She is definitely dreaming

I chuckled at her face "Only, this is reality and there is no way I will allow myself to fall for this guy"

"That is if you haven't already" she winked
