《A Deal in Disguise》CHAPTER 3: A DEAL?
Advertisement
Wearing a bathrobe I came out of the washroom after taking a long bath, I removed the towel from my hair letting it down, stuffing headphones in my ear I played a song.
With the music I started swaying my hips dancing like a complete mess.
I mean you can't blame me this is the least crazy thing I am doing, staying locked up in the same house for 6 months anyone would go crazy and I am on the edge of losing my mind.
After dancing like a mess of course for 30 minutes I decided to control my emotions and seated myself on the couch taking deep breaths and once as everyday cursing Simon in my mind. Calming myself I got up from the couch and stood in front of the mirror admiring my beauty.
"You are getting more beautiful everyday Haze. Oh Sweet Jesus! Girls out there would be so jealous of me once I get out of this hell."
Well it's me doing this everyday. There is no one to admire me in this hell so why not do it myself.
After putting on some comfortable clothes, I sat on the bed busy searching my name on google and reading the reviews people had to give about my books. I like to read the comments but only if they are positive ones, the positive comments give me good vibes.
Currently I am working on my fifth book and soon it will be published too. I have got quite famous in just 2 years that's a very less time and I am really glad that everyone is liking my work.
There was a knock on the door, I looked up from the laptop to see Uncle and Aaron standing at the door. I gave them a light smile they came inside the room.
"Haze we have something to tell you." Uncle said and Aaron sat on the bed beside me.
"What?"
"Just know that it was important Haze."
"What was?"
He cleared his throat then spoke again "Simon wants you to get married to his friend."
"Simon wants what?" I asked in confusion.
"You heard it correctly Haze. You have to get married."
"Are you all crazy? Why would I have to marry someone? I am just 24, it's too early and moreover you are asking me to marry someone whom I don't even know."
"It's important Haze. You have to help Simon in this atleast."
"I am not marrying any guy. I haven't even seen him."
"But you have heard about him, haven't you? He is Simon's friend. You know he is a nice guy."

"I don't care. He might be very good but I am not marrying some old guy."
"Haze you have to marry him. You have to do this for us. This deal with Rafael is important to Simon."
"Then ask Simon to marry him." I snapped at Uncle.
Aaron chuckled "Well sisty it would've been a very good suggestion if both were gay unfortunately your brother and your future husband both are so straight."
I threw a pillow at him.
"I am not marrying anyone."
Uncle sat on the bed beside me and gave me his phone "Talk to Simon once."
I glared at him but took the phone from him.
"What?" I answered irritated.
"Haze."
"I am not marrying him Simon, don't even try to convince me."
He sighed "This deal is really important for my business Haze and it's the only way that I am left with or I would've never forced you to do something against your wish."
"So you are asking me to marry him and stay caged for the rest of my life as I am already."
"No. You don't have to be caged anymore."
"I still don't understand why are you keeping me caged in this house for 6 months? You always say it's necessary, why is it necessary and Simon how long are you not gonna come? It's been more than a year we last met."
"Right now, I can't tell you anything. Just trust me Haze."
"That's what I am doing, trusting you. When are you coming back Simon? I miss you."
"Soon. I am trying to sort everything out in here."
"You always say that... Are you okay? Is anyone trying to hurt you?"
"I am fine Haze. Just do this one favour to me and marry him. Rafael is a good person I know him very well."
"Why?"
"I need to do this deal with him. It's my dream and after I am done with this I'll come back to you."
"Promise?" I waited for him to reply.
For a moment he paused then replied "Promise. Just this one favour Haze."
I sighed "Fine. I will marry him but after the deal is over you have to come back."
"I will Haze. I will come back. Thank you so much Haze."
"I will do anything for you Simon just come back. I want to see you."
"I will. Soon. Take care."
"You too. Bye Simon."
I hung up the call and looked at Uncle. "I'll marry him."
Uncle smiled then patted my back "I knew you would agree to it Haze." I nodded he got up from the bed then said "The marriage will be in two days."

"Two days? That's too early." I said in complete annoyance.
"We have to do it as early as possible Haze, try to understand."
I rolled my eyes.
He just left the room after giving me a shock.
"Great. Fucking great. No explanation, nothing. You just have to marry some psycho pathetic ugly old Uncle and that's it."
Aaron laughed "What did you just say psycho pathetic ugly old Uncle? He is just 30."
"He is 30. 6 years older than me. I call 6 years older guy Uncle."
"Once you'll see him, I doubt you'll be left with the Uncle word."
I glared at him.
"You don't believe me? I can show you if you want. You see your future husband is quite famous and trust me dear, girls are dying to marry him."
"Then they can marry him, at least after they do that, I can be free."
Taking my laptop that was kept on the bed Aaron typed something then turned it towards me, I gave him a confused look he said "Your future husband."
I looked at the laptop screen to whatever he has to show me. My eyes got stuck on the person's picture he was showing me.
"T-That's Rafael?" I asked with my eyes fixed on the screen.
"Well yes my dear sisty that's him. Your 'psycho pathetic ugly old Uncle'. And now I think you too should realize that he is not one word you described him as earlier."
Aaron was right. He was miles away from what I thought he would be like. I thought he would really be an Uncle or some normal looking person but I was wrong. He looks beautiful.
I couldn't take my eyes off him for a moment. When Aaron flinched his fingers in front of my eyes I came back to my senses.
He had an evil smirk plastered on his lips.
"Okay that's enough with all his appreciation, he isn't that good looking. You may leave now." I said making him get up from the bed and trying to push him out of my room.
"Okay okay I am leaving you alone with him. Stop being so desperate."
I hit him. "I am not gonna look at him. Just leave."
"Yeah yeah. Of course you won't. Happy moments." He winked at me "But yeah don't see something inappropriate."
"Inappropriate? What's inappropriate to see?"
He smirked "I stalked his instagram account there are many inappropriate pictures of him."
Pushing him out I closed the door then sat back on the bed picking up the laptop, I set it on my lap scrolling down his images. I don't know why I was being so desperate in stalking him but I just couldn't help stalking. I read every article about him and strangely this man hasn't gotten into any controversy till now. I mean famous people like him do get in controversies it's a common thing but he was just clean.
Never in my life I have stalked someone so bad, I also checked his Instagram profile to see what Aaron meant by 'inappropriate pictures'. My eyes widened looking at the number of followers he had, it was in millions.
"Oh Sweet Jesus! He has 10 M followers!?" I muttered in complete surprise biting on my burger.
And damn those pictures... so sexy and the 'inappropriate' thing in his account was him being shirtless in few pictures, especially the poolside pictures.
And the comments of course all the girls were drooling on him.
I don't think stalking my soon-to-be-husband is not wrong. I mean anyone would do that.
Right?
Yeah right.
***************
At night again as usual I managed to escape from the window. I went to the park where I always go, taking my seat on the usual chair I took out a dark chocolates taking bites from it. Sometimes I come here when I feel lonely, it feels so good in here I feel as if I can finally breathe properly in this place.
I never had any friends neither did I try to have one. I was happy with myself and my books, all made up things, imagination of a guy who is incredibly romantic but that's why it's just imagination because I know I will never have friends nor can I find a guy who'll love me so I can only write about having a friend or having an extremely romantic guy in my life.
Though I never had any friends but at least I was happy 6 months ago, I don't know why Simon is keeping me caged in that place but it's really suffocating in there and I am tired of this shit everyday so if by marrying that guy I can get out of this caged space I am so ready to do that.
But I am doing this for one more reason, for Simon. He has taken care of me after Mom-Dad's death, he has fulfilled all my wishes, he has fulfilled his job of being a good brother I think I can at least give this much to him. If marrying him can make Simon happy I am so ready to do it.
I will do it for Simon.
I just hope this Rafael guy is good, as Simon mentioned him to be. I hate rude people and if he is rude to me I swear I'll kill him in his sleep.
