Real Bride, Fake Groom

"Sleeping on illusion"

"Thinking the love is fiction"

"Oh no, it's the work of her emotion"

"I want this imagination"

"The heart goes all frail for the current picture"

"Stand at a position"

"Calm down and let's cheer to nature"

"While thinking of the future"

"Where is she?"

"Why is her number not reachable?" Michael anxiously pace in the front of July's pet clinic with his phone on his ear.

"Pick up the phone" Michael redials her digits annoyingly, Rachael smirks mockingly at a distance and approach him.

"Michael" Rachael calls slyly.

"Rachael, have you seen ..."

"July?" Rachael interrupts mockingly and he pauses nervously.

"Obviously she has started her new job" Rachael informs bluntly as she roll her eyes annoyingly.

"New job?" Michael asks anxiously with a weird facial expression and Rachael nods her head affirmatively.

"But... I told her I'm not in support of it" Michael reminds vividly.

"As what...?" Rachael snorts annoyingly.

"July doesn't need to take permission from you" Rachael informs boldly and turns to leave.

"Rachael" Michael calls sadly and she pauses.

"Can you have a drink with me?" Michael asks nervously and Rachael nods her head slowly thus they walk on the street together approaching Michael's car.

"Nice handwriting" July admires Damien's handwriting for some minute while she read the note to herself in a low tone.

"The submissive being July isn't allowed to touch the dominant being Damien on his lips, skin and any private parts of his body"

"The submissive must not cling unto the dominant on no occasion except in the present of the dominant's family member" July exhales sadly as she unconsciously sits on the cushion still reading.

"The submissive is not allowed to disclose this relationship to anyone except by the dominant's notice" July sighs loudly.

"Then why the relationship?" July snorts loudly to herself.

"Are you okay with it or not?" Damien asks annoyingly with an intimidating stare thus July nods her head sheepishly in response.

"That's all for today, leave" Damien commands politely but arrogantly.

"I have none of your details"

"Where do I start?" July asks awkwardly and Damien ignores her as he walks over to the elevator.

July mimic Damien's action mockingly and leaves the mansion caressing Roxy for the last time.

"Miss Agatha, when is the end date for this contract?" July asks anxiously as she opens the lock and walks into her pet clinic.

"It doesn't have an end date"

"You will stay with Mr. Damien until he finds his true love" Agatha explains professionally on the phone to July.

"Well I'm not a stick as I also need to build my own relationship" July snorts and pause.

"I will stay with Damien for two years, if he doesn't find his real bride by then, I will end the contract" July said confidently.

"Okay" Agatha replies coldly.

"Please insert this on the contract, thanks" July commands politely as she ends the call and drink the coffee gradually.

"What a week"

"I really need this cash"

July mutters sadly to herself while checking the record of her pet clinic, Michael walks in.

"Michael" July exclaims excitedly and he smirks while approaching her.

"Where have you been?"

"I called you a thousand times" Michael asks anxiously and July smiles softly.

"I accepted the job I told you about" July replies bluntly and Michael nods his head slowly.

"You are ... not made at me?" July stutters as she asks anxiously with a mischievous grin.

"As far as you are happy, I am contented" Michael said impulsively as he caresses her gold hair softly, July slowly walks backward and clears her throat awkwardly.

"Thank you so much Michael" July said politely as the door bell rings notifying them of an incoming customer.

"Time for work" July informs with a toothy smile.

"I will pick you up tonight" Michael said softly and July nods her head sheepishly, he leaves the clinic.

"Good morning" July greets the customer with a bright smile as she carries the pet on the customer's arm gently.

Dark club, the famous club house in London where celebrity lord and rich ladies party till dawn.

"Ladies my brother is still single" Rose informs courageously as she drinks the wine while the five ladies with her cheer happily.

"That's so great"

"Can you hook us up with him?"

"He is freaking hot... Ross!"

The ladies pressures Rose apathetically and flirtatiously.

"You know my brother doesn't do side chick thing"

"But I will definitely tell him about you all" Rose explains convincingly, they happily cling their glasses of champagne together and gulp the wine.

Damien sits on the chair closer to a neatly arranged table in his study room, reading some document attentively as his sister walks into the room happily.

"Brother!" Rose squeals lovingly.

"You smell bad"

"Where have you been?" Damien asks anxiously while dropping the documents on the table.

"Those girls"

"They all want you" Rose said bluntly as she staggers and fall on the chair.

"I told you never to give them hope, didn't I?" Damien asks cautiously.

"Brother, brother, brother" Rose calls apathetically.

"This is twenty first (21st) century. You need to pick one of the rests" Rose informs drunkenly.

"Talking nonsense again" Damien asks angrily.

"Sorry brother" Rose pleads sadly.

"Nanny" Damien calls out.

Weeks later, July sits on her bed sadly as she visits the author site with her laptop.

"This sucks"

"Seventy (70) followers"

"Where are my reads?"

July mutters sadly to herself as she scrolls through the website. She exhales sadly and falls on the bed, rolling from one edge to another.

"Will he ever call me?"

"Am I missing him already?"

"Does he miss me too?"

"Why doesn't he call?"

July asks anxiously in a sad tone as she stares at her phone sadly, immediately a call from an unknown caller pops in.

"Who is this?" July asks herself anxiously as she accepts the call cautiously.

"Good morning" July greets nervously awaiting response.

"Should I inform you of your responsibilities?" the caller asks arrogantly.

"Excuse me, who is this?" July asks curiously and politely.

"Your husband" the caller replies annoyingly.

"Hus ... husband?" July stutters shyly and the call ends abruptly.

"Husband?" July mutters to herself in a low tone as she smiles brightly. Then it hit her;

"Damien!" July squeals happily as she is also angry, she rolls on the bed happily.

"July, are you home?" a soft knock comes from the door.

"Hold on" July shouts politely as she sits upright on the bed and unlocks her phone.

"Handsome Jerk" July saves Damien's contact and walks to the door briskly.

"July, can we hang out today?" Michael asks nervously as July tries to answer, a call comes into her phone "Handsome Jerk" she accepts the call with a smile.

"Come home now" the voice commands vividly.
