Scarlett POV:
When I went out of my father's building I immediately called my best fiend, Chris.
~on the phone~
C: Hey Scar. How you doing ?
S: Not good at all. Can you come over to my apartment ?
C: Yeah 0f course. I coming now can Seb come too ?
S: Of course he can. Thank you Chris.
C: No problem. We'll come as fast as I can.
I was in my living room pacing everywhere biting my fingernails. The doorbell ringing pulled me out of my daze.
I went to open the door it wasn't Chris and Sebastian but.. my mother ?
What is she doing here ?
"Please Scarlett open the door we need to talk" my mother says trow the door.
I opened it and let her come in. I ask her dryly "What are you doing here ?"
"I know you talked with your father and I want to know how you are. That's a big news to digest"
"I m fine I'm just mad at him ans at you too cause you let him do." I say as we sit on the couch I front of each other.
"I know you have right to be mad but we need that the enterprise and the family. You're our only child and we want you to have a family so the family doesn't extinguished and someone can become the CEO of Johanson corporation. We really need that."
"Yeah but it's my life and I don't want that I'm not ready for being married and have kids. I don't even know her!"
"You will learn. I've heard about her she's not that bad she has a good reputation. You'll get to know her and everythings gonna to be okay" My mother says putting her hand on my knee.
I nod ans she got up "I need to leave but before that you have dinner with her tonight after the meeting she'll pick you up here. Everything is already setting and please Scarlett come to the meeting" i nod
"Bye" with that she comes out of my apartment.
Like five minutes later I heard the doorbell again. But this time this is Chris and Seb.
I open the door and great them "Hey boys how are you ?" "The real question is: How are YOU Scarlett ?" Chris says hugging me.

"Not really good. I have some news for you" I say as we all sit on the couch.
"Okay we're listening" seb says as he make himself comfortable.
"I m getting married" I pause and saw them smile in pure joy "it's a forced marriage" I look down while saying that part.
Their smile drop and looked at each other "forced ?" Chris ask confused and not sure he heard well.
"Yeah forced my father told me this morning and he made me understand that I didn't have the choice."
"Is it legal ?" Chris asks looking at Sebastian.
"Hum ot's not my speciality but I think if there is a contract, yes" He reply.
"Thre is one we're going to sign it this afternoon" I say sighing and realising.
"Well who are you marrying ?"
"Y/n Downey. The daughter of my father friend"
"Oh yeah I worked with her in the past she's good but I don't really know her" Chris says trying to process everything.
"I don't really see who it is" seb confess.
"Come on we worked with her a couple of times. Everyone call her the pittbull !" Chris say annoyed at the bad memory of his boyfriend.
"Oh yeah her! She's hot even if I'm gay. I have to admit it you're lucky Scarlett"
Chris hit seb in the ribs with his elbow and galre at him. "It's fine man. It could be worst"
I saw the clock and it's already 2 PM I have to get ready.
"Sorry guys but I have to get ready for the meeting"
"Yes of course"
"See you later"
And with that they both waved at me and walked out of my apartment.
Letting me alone with my toughts.
~Time skip to 3:00 PM~
Your POV :
I was sitting in the meeting room around this big table. I was on the right my mother on the left and my dad in the middle. The room was filing with silence a very awkward silence.
Then Angelina arrive with the Johasson family. The father, the mother and for the end the daughter.
My god this woman was truly beautiful. Her blonde hair, greens eyes, plump rose lips and my god those legs.
She was wearing light pink pants, a white top and some black high heels. Very fashionable.

I got up from my seat and shake George's hand first and then his wife and for the end her.
"My name's Cate, Cate Johansson" Goerge's wife says while shaking my hand. "Mine is Y/n nice to meet you"
Scarlett didn't shake my hand at first but when her father give her a look that I know way to well. She quickly offered her hand to me I shook her hand and smile at her.
Scarlett POV :
I came out of the elevator and saw a man brown haired in a suit beside him a woman with blonde hair and for finish a tall woman she was taller than the man she has short brown hair and god those y/e/c eyes. Her suit was wonderful on her a classic cut but a little original color who was good with her skin tone.
She was stunning.
My eyes goes to her lips so... kissable STOP ! Scarllet what are you thinking ? Okay I have to admit it she clearly was my type.
But I have to show my bitchy side. Maybe if she really don't like me she would convince her father to break the contract. So no wedding.
Your POV :
She don't smile back and took her hand away turning her back to me. "Please sit down" my father days pointing to the seats across us.
"So I think we all know why we're her and should get straight into it" My dad say looking at everyone. "Yes I think it's good" Mr Johansson says.
"Great so first the term of the contract it's a professional and personal one. First the professional.." He explains all the things about the merge. And I listen attentively Scarlett on her own looked like she was bored by the conversation.
"Now the personal part with your wedding." George says and my father nod and begins to speak. "So I was thinking that for beginning we could go to our holiday house in LA. And break the ice" He says looking at Mister and miss Johansson.
They both nod. "Yeah that could be good and maybe for the first public apparition I tough that the downey industries' charity gala could be great"
"That's good what's the exact date of the gala ?" Miss Johansson asks
"That's for Christmas so the 24th of December"
My mother reply. That was the first time that the two women intervene.
"So yeah and I was thinking that make some rumors with the press would be good like pictures of them holding hand or kissing"
"Kissing ?" Me and Scarlett ask both at the same time.
"Yes kissing you guys gonna be a couple married and have kids" Mister Johansson says "That's the contract" my father add.
We both nod not wanting to get in troubles.
Scarlett POV :
I didn't really listen for what they said my fears were coming back. She didn't look mean she was polite and she was good looking. I could be in a worst situation.
I came back to my senses and start to listen again to the conversation.
"I mean now we need to plan on the long term" my mother says looking at y/n's father.
"And what have you in mind ?" M. Downey asks a bit confused.
"I know my daughter and if we don't put rules like when the propose is going to be down or a date for the wedding it's not going to work"
I scoff and roll a little my eyes. Annoying by what my mother just said.
"That's a good idea. I think y/n could use some rules too."
Y/n let out a chuckle but not the kind when you laugh this one was an annoyed chuckle. I realised that I wasn't the only who was forced.
I first I thought that they were marrying me to her and she was okay with that that I was a "present" to her.
I was wrong she's forced too and I have almost compation for her.
But my plan is still the same being a bitch a make it impossible for her to support me so she would find a way to cancel the wedding.
"I think we have an accord the propose is in three months qnd the wedding in six months" my father asks to Mr Downey.
"Yes that's it. We have an arrangement." He says as they're shaking hand.
That's it I'm married and I have no other choice. This woman will never loves me and my life just slipped out of my hands.
