Her Mission
~New Jersey city~
Sheathed in one of Develene expensive dress, Marie walked out of the New Jersey airport.
She still can’t believe that she’s here taking on a role to act like Develene. Just yesterday, she had been in the restaurant attending to customers and now here she is
in another city and far away from home.
Some how the whole thing began to feel scary and she was deciding on whether to leave or to stay when a man dressed in black walk up to her.
“You must be Miss Develene?” The man asked and she nodded.
“I am Willow, head of security team to Mr Brooks, your fiance. Have been ordered to come accompany you home” Willow said showing her a card which proved his statement.
She followed him and got into the Mercedes he had driven to the airport. While in the car she took off her glass, starring at the city of New Jersey.
All her life, she has only lived in one place, she never got the time to travel or the money to do it but now here she is doing just that. She thought smiling to herself and unknown to her Willow was watching her through the mirror.
What is she thinking? She’s not here to have some leisure time. She’s here to help her friend and she better revise the things Develene told her about her parents.
Jerry Taylor is a man who made his money by buying shares in little quantity until he made it big and Hannah was once the daughter of an ex senator. The two had married at a young age and had given birth to Develene.
Not being able to give birth again, they devoted their attention to Develene and ended up spoiling her rottenly.
Develene personality at home is one of a spoilt brat who only live day to day partying and getting money from her parents instead of working.
If she must make this work, she has to act like Develene which will be a little hard. She thought as she sighed out softly.
“Mr Brooks told me to apologise on his behalf for not coming to pick you up himself, he’s being held with work and will surely make it for today’s date” Willow told her and this got her sitting up right.
“Today. Am meeting him today?” She asked this quickly and Willow nodded in reply.
She had thought that she would be given this day to familiarise herself with things and will be meeting him tomorrow but it turns out that she would be meeting him today, she thought as the car stopped in front of Develene parents home.
Develene parents stood at the entrance waiting for her car to arrive. She could recognise them due to the pictures Develene had showed her.
“My baby” Hannah cooed as she came hugging Marie.
“Hello Mom and dad” she greeted knowing that it took a lot of practice to be able to say that.
“You look a bit fleshy now. Must have been spending a lot” Develene father said.
Though they had the same face, Develene is quite on the slim side while she’s a little busty.
“Of course I have” she replied saying what she’s often heard Develene say.
“Will you be back to pick her this evening?” Jerry asked willow who had passed her things to the maid.
“I won’t be the one but Mr Brooks will be doing that himself” Willow said and excusing himself he went back to the car.
“Let’s go in” Hannah said as they pulled her into the mansion.
For a while Marie was distracted by the beauty of the house and it wasn’t until she was being steered to the sitting room that she finally stopped to ask them what’s going on.
“What’s with this sudden Fiance?” She asked wanting to know Develene parents reason.
“Its a love at first sight thing” Hannah was the one who began talking.
“What love at first sight?” Marie asked.
“Romeo visited our home to talk business with your father when he saw a picture of you. He fell straight away and before we knew it, he came asking for your hand and we gave it to him” Hannah replied.
“But you should have told me about it first, I would have like to make a decision too” Marie said knowing this will be the same thing Develene would have said if she was here.
“We are sorry we didn’t tell you about it but you should know that our decision was made for your benefit. Romeo is a man of power and wealth and am sure that he will take very good care of you. So you should trust us on this and just accept him, he’s coming to take you out tonight, get to know him and you will certainly like him” Jerry said looking a bit nervous.
A while later she was shown to Develene room. She had called Develene and told her of what’s happening.
“I doubt it. My parents have never tried to meddled in my love life, there had once been a case where someone approached them asking for my hand in marriage and my father had asked me what I thought and when I refused, they went along with my decision. There must be something about this Romeo and their sudden agreement to my sudden marriage. Find that out ” Develene had told her.
And now dressed in a clinging gown which Develene had chosen for her, she comb through her hair.
Her mission tonight is to do things men hate and one of them Is this dress.
“Men hate women who shows a lot of skin and someone like Romeo Brooks would certainly hate it,so make sure you show a lot of skin tonight. Wear that dress i bought you. It certainly will put him off” Develene had told her earlier on the phone and she stood starring at the blue clinging dress.
It clung to her like a second skin and also the deep v at the front made Marie uncomfortable.
She heard voices downstairs and was about leaving the room when she changed her mind, deciding to wear a coat over her dress.
She opened the door to see Hannah Taylor there.
“He’s here my child. Make sure you get along with him tonight” she said taking hold of Marie hand as they both went down the stairs.
“Why must I get along with him? I might not like him” Marie said her attention on Develene mom that she didn’t notice the man who stood down the stairs starring at her.
Just then her heel caught on the rug and she found herself losing her balance even Hannah who stood by her side couldn’t hold onto her.
Marie closed her eyes as she fell and while she was expecting to fall on the floor, she found herself being captured into some one arms.
She opened her eyes to stare into a pair of deep grey eyes whose face looked exactly like that of an angel but she knew that he’s far from being an angel.
“Are you okay?” Romeo asked as he held her in his arms.
“I am” she replied feeling a bit mesmerised by his gaze which was solely trained on her.
Get a grip girl! You shouldn’t be mesmerised by him, you should be doing things that will get him to dislike you. A voice said to her.
“Can you let me down now” she said and he did that still having his arms around her waist.
“I only tripped, it doesn’t mean that am clumsy, you can let go of me now” she said rudely.
Act one be rude to him, she thought as she moved away from him.
“I only kept my arms around you cause I find that I like it there” Romeo said smoothly and while Develene parents smiled at his cool reply, she frowned his way. Seems like her rude reply hadn’t done a thing.
“Mom, Dad. We will be back soon” she said to her parents even as she walked out with Romeo trailing behind her.
