~~EMMA~~
"I can't pay it back in time even if I work for the rest of my life," I shouted in surprise,who does this guy think he is, and what does he think of me an ATM!
" Either you pay it right now or face prison, don't waste my time" he replied taking out a phone.
' Is he going to call the police, no way " I quickly pulled it way from him.
" Please Sir, try to be more considerate, I don't even earn as much as 2000 dollars, how can I pay you back that huge amount please!" I tried to plead but it was pointless, his expression hardly changed.
"Fine get me a five star hotel room to stay, expensive food and clothes, a car, a new phone then I might be considerate and extend your period to pay me back" he said. This man I don't even have my own car, I was just saving up for my new phone,how can I get him a five star hotel room when where I stay is just rented and the owner is demanding.
"Sir I. ...." I tried to say but he cut me off again.
"What, you still can't provide that?" he asked.
"I really can't but....what if.... what if I offer to support you, I can take you in and take care of you until you recover while I pay you back," I replied.
" I don't trust you, you might run off" he said.
" I promise I won't, if it makes you feel any secure, we can sign an agreement," I replied helpless and desperate.
" No. Not an agreement. Let's get married and sign a contract.Its the only way I'll be 'secure' " he said.
" Marriage,no no! anything but that sir please" I tried to plead.
"It won't be a real marriage, I'll make you my wife on paper, as long as you're bound to me, you won't think of running off. You'll only be obligated to me, we'll divorce as soon as you clear your debt," but was it really worth it? he's just a stranger I picked up, marrying him will practically mean he'll stay for the rest of my life because I dont think it'll be easy to pay him back. Won't I get into some kind of trouble,but I also can't go to prison just because of this.
"A... Alright, I accept, but only because I don't want to end up behind bars," I replied.
"But cant we call your family first, someone might be worried about you" I added.
"I have no one all I remember is my name...Ken" he said.'Amnesia' so pitiful but it's all my fault. I have to take responsibility for him.
"I'm Emma, it's all my fault for your condition but I'll try to help you recover."I replied faking a smile before heading out of the room.
~~~~After Emma stepped out, Draken's phone rang.
" Boss,are you alright. The news about your car accident is all over.should Shaun and I come?" Erick was on the other line.
"No need. I'm safe. I have a place to hide for now, and I need you to do something for me right now.... I'll send you the details."he said before hanging up. No amnesia, and Emma hadn't hurt him at all, all his injuries were from the car accident, but he still lied to her.
"Only you can save me now Emma, only you," he thought to himself taking out the bracelet he'd picked before. That encounter hadn't been the first, they'd already met before. Emma had once risked her life to save his, pushing him out of the road before he could be hit by a car, only to get hurt and lose consciousness in the end. That was the first time he saw her, she jumped right in to save him when he needed it, though Emma didn't see his face, he saw hers. The second encounter was at an awarding ceremony, the spot light was on her, the fine speech she gave that day motivated him. Her smile struck right into his heart, he'd fallen in love with her, the coffee he liked to take on a daily was her speciality and to see her, he'd order for it every single day. The accident enconter was unexpected, but maybe fate had brought them together again. He was forced to take advantage of the situation and trap her in marriage, whoever wanted him dead would definitely go after Shaun and Erick to find out if he was still alive so he couldn't approach them. Emma happened to come into the picture at the right moment, he had to leave the hospital soon or else they'd find him and finish the job. He slowly got up holding onto his bandages, removed the IV drip and buttoned his shirt. He wore a surgical mask and stepped out of tge room only to see Emma coming back, but suspicious men lurking not far behind her, she was unaware of the danger coming.
