Contract marriage to my billionaire ex boyfriend's brother

Marissa," he said softly, but there was nothing gentle about it. His voice was low, controlled to the point of fracture. "Walk away. Now. Or I won't be able to stop myself." The sound slipped from me before I could cage it-a quiet, helpless moan. I lifted my chin, meeting his gaze. "Don't," I whispered. "Don't stop yourself, Carlton." His last bit of restraint snapped, along with the clasp of my bra

Chapter 2

Marissa: I didn't understand who this strange man was, or why he thought he could just ask me to marry him? "Who are you?" I asked, my voice trembling. He glanced at me."The question is if you'd marry me or not-which I know you will" The arrogance in his tone made my skin crawl, I wanted to just get out of the car. I yanked the car door open, desperate to get out. I felt a strong grip on my hands. "Sit down" His voice was low, calm but commanding, it made heat flow through me- anger, shock and something else I couldn't quite understand. But I sat with no fight -I just sat. He released me,took out a sheet of paper and started scribbling. "My number is on it, for when you change your mind. Which I know you will." My jaw clenched. I wanted to slap his face badly. I just took the sheet of paper and stepped out of the car. I could feel his eyes on me while walking away. I didn't look back. I refused to. I stood at the door, hesitant to knock... I couldn't face my sister -she had always warned me about Justin, I always had my defense card on whenever she tried to say anything about him. I knocked. immediately I saw Camille , I fell into her arms,she didn't ask any questions all she did was embrace me. It felt like she sensed my pain before I even said anything. "Are you okay" she asked softly. I didn't know what to say- I knew I wasn't okay I just nodded and decided to retire to my room. I sat on my bed hands over my mouth, I didn't want my sister to hear my muffled crying...I don't know if I can ever heal from this. I looked in the mirror, wiped off my makeup which had already smeared down my face from all tears. I peeled off my dress and shoes then I dragged myself to the bathroom. I didn't realize when tears filled up my eyes, my body felt empty, it felt like I lost my soul... " I hate my life" I whispered I let the shower run through my body and I got out. When I stepped out,I heard my Camille call my name. I sighed. I didn't feel like talking but knowing Camille she wouldn't let me be sad all by myself. I changed into something comfortable and I went down to meet her. "Hungry?" she asked while searching my eyes. "I'm not hungry" I said avoiding her eyes. "You are going to eat, she said firmly. I spent hours cooking, so you will eat" She damn well meant every word. I was hesitant I didn't know if I wanted to tell her everything that had occurred today, but I decided to... If something terrible happens to me, I wanted my sister to know. "Justin cheated on me with Peyton" I said it straight away, I didn't want to have to think about it too much. "What???" She snapped " I saw them at the party" I didn't realize when tears started to stream down my cheeks. " I'm so sorry Marissa, that jerk and that bitch never really deserved you." I tried to see if there would be any I told you so moment, but she did none of that. That gave me a bit of a relief. " That's not the only strange thing that happened today." I said and I could see my sister's curious eyes waiting for me to tell her what I meant by that statement. "What other atrocious thing happened Marissa?" " A strange man asked me to marry him" " What ??" She said but this time she wasn't fuming. It sounded more like excitement, "He gave me his number and said to reach out when I am ready." "Soo have you reached out to him?" " Camille please, I'm still nurturing my pain, why would I reach out to a man I don't even know" " Well the man you know, cheated on you so you might as well try." Camille paused. " I didn't mean it like that" I stormed out of the kitchen, by the time I got to my room, my thoughts had betrayed me- drifting me back to the strange man from earlier. He was undeniably handsome, but something about him intrigued me
