My Fake Girlfriend

Chapter 1

"Did I do something wrong?" I asked.

"From now on, I want you to be my fake girlfriend." He said like it's nothing.

"Excuse me?" I looked at him disbelief.

"My fake girlfriend." He repeated and I looked at him coldly.

"I heard it, I'm not deaf."

"Agree to it then.." He said proudly like I'm going to agree to it that easy.

"No." I said and Ares' face was priceless. He didn't see it coming. I bet he never got any rejection before.

"No?"

"No, I'm not doing your stupid plan. Why would I be your fake girlfriend? You can pick other woman, they will do it in a heartbeat." I said and he sighed.

"That's the point, Athena. I don't those girls, I want you to be my fake girlfriend. I know you can keep a secret and I already checked your background. You have a clean and good background to begin with. Your father-"

"You're looking into my background?" I cut him and I wanted to smack the shit out of him.

"Of course, I need a likable girlfriend to bring home to my family."

"What if I can't keep a secret and why me?"

"You can, I know you're capable of this." He smirked and I rolled my eyes.

"No."

"You have to, I already fired you."

"That's not fair, Ares! You can't just fire me and expect me to.. agree with you!" I crossed my arms in front of my chest.

"You have to."

"No. I'll just look for another job."

"You can't, I bought a place for your new restaurant. Just take it as my payment for you to be my fake girlfriend." My jaw dropped again and I sat down because I can't believe that this is happening.

"No, I don't need your money or that restaurant."

"It won't be hard, I promise. All you need to do is stand beside me and treat me like I'm your boyfriend. I'll pay you too and give you this restaurant for free." He said and I looked at him speechless.

"No."

"How about I already told your dad that you have a new restaurant that you buy with your own money?" He smiled.

"You did not!"

"Call him.." He said and I sighed.

"How long do you need me for?"

"6 months." He said as he sat down in front of me.

"That restaurant is mine by then?"

"Yes. It's all yours."

"Will there be a contract of something?" I asked. He took out a file from a bag behind him. He gave it to me.

"What is this?"

"Contract and some regulations for this.. relationship." He pointed at the both of us. I opened the contract and he already wrote my name and that we will be dating for 6 months. I turned the page and there's rules too.

He doesn't want to make this relationship public. He wants me to join him in all family related events. He wants me to not contact him for personal matters. He doesn't want me to tell anyone. He doesn't want me to have a boyfriend by the time we're dating. He wants me to act like a good girlfriend. There will be some skinship involved so I have to be ready.

"Any questions?" He asked.

"You're basically just using me as your trophy?" I asked.

"Yes, something like that." I scoffed.

"We won't be a couple in public, you don't need to worry." He said.

"Okay."

"So I sign this here?" I asked and he nodded. I signed the contract without thinking twice. I don't know what's in my head a few seconds ago but I hope I don't regret it.

"Good girl." He smiled. I gave the file to him and he signed it too. I got up but he stopped me.

"I'll text you about the restaurant."

"You don't even have my number." I looked at him raising my eyebrows.

"Give it to me then."

"No."

"That's what I thought. I'll text you tonight, girlfriend." He smirked and I left the room.

No regrets, Athena. No regrets.
