Conveniently Married To A Billionaire

HAPPY READING

Delsa Mingo POV

How can any of this be possible? how can I be involved in narcotics smuggling and don't know about it? I pace back and forth but I could not hold it back any longer. The dam breaks and I cry hard, heavy sobs reeks through me shaking my body. I couldn't help thinking I must look unpleasant crying in front of this beautiful man.

"Little dove it is OK they cannot hurt you, not even a hair on your head as long as you carry my name."

How can he say things like this to me when I'm emotional, vulnerable and can't even think straight. His hands glide across my body pulling me closer as I sob. All I can feel is the heat radiating off of his body into mine. The layers of clothing between us barricading me from his masculinity did nothing in calming me. I couldn't help wanting, no needing more but I couldn't as my nerves flairs to high alert.

"I am sorry," I say pulling away brushing my hand on his suit trying to wipe away my fallen tears. My emotions are taking me over and this stranger is seeing me fall apart. Not the best look but all this information to process and accept all at once is way too much, Just look at how quickly my life has made a 360 turn in two weeks.

"No need to apologize little dove."

How can I marry a stranger? Someone I met less than five hours ago. How is this possible that I am to become his wife. I can not deny there is a level of comfort and safety when he held me, something I have never felt before. How can this feel so good when it is so wrong? It wasn't just his embrace, it was the way he held me close, protectively and comfortable.

'You read way too many romance novels, now your life has become one.' My subconscious said in a bored tone and if wasn't for the state I am in, I might have agreed.

Sure he is handsome, reeks of wealth by the looks of him, more class than a school, smooth, the best man I've ever seen and he is willing to marry me for my safety. This is definitely a romance novel and I'm caught dead in the centre, maybe I'm the lead character or was he the lead.

"How is this possible?"

"Impossible happens every day," Reign says looking down at me and every word out of his mouth is believable with the level of confidence he says it.

"How can I marry a stranger," I say looking at him. This man is so tall I have to crane my neck up to look at his face.

"If you do, I will never let you go. Never. You will be in my world forever and safe." Reign says to me.

I did not respond, I did not know what to say.

How can he say things like that to me so effortlessly and how am I to take him at his word. I just met the man for crying out loud doesn't he remember seeing me moments ago. He talks as if he knows me and marrying me is as easy as he said it.

"Are you sure marrying me will ensure my safety and I never have to return to that place?"

"Very sure."

"What happens if they come looking for me."

"Little dove, I protect what is mine," Reign says with confidence and I want to believe every word he says as he gazes into my eyes.

"Oh God will they come after my family, my mom, dad and sister, her fiance too," I ask my mind is a ticking time bomb with questions and worries.

"I have eyes on them as we speak." Reigns say and his phone rings he takes it out of his pocket and looks at the screen. "I must take this," he says walking in the direction of what I presume is a room.

"Isn't there any other way..." I say out loud with a heavy sign.

This is serious, how did this become my life. I had to think and think fast, how can I marry a man I have never seen before today. A man like him would definitely need something in return. But I have nothing, nothing to offer a man like him. Not a penny to my name, not a place of my own, no labels or tags what can I offer him. He certainly doesn't need the money we are in the presidential suite for God sake.

Oh God my parents, I can't let anything happen to them. I can't risk them getting hurt because of me and my stupidity. I never should have come here now look at my life, the mess I've made of it.

Me a wife to a man as regal as him. The mere aura of him says to run but it also says to fall at his feet and drink up every word out of his mouth.

"Little dove we can't stay here much longer and our vows must be fast," Reign says walking out the room placing his phone back into his pocket.

"Are you sure?"

"You only have to say yes," he takes my hand and I shiver. "Say yes Delsa, say it and forever begins."

He takes a little black box out of his suit jacket pocket and opens it to me. "Delsa I want to take care of you, protect you, I want everyone to know you are mine and I am completely yours if you say yes."

"Will you?" Reign asks and the size of that rock had the wind knocked completely out of me as I stare at it.

I couldn't speak, didn't know what I can say so I nod. "I want to hear you say it," he said lifting my chin and gazing into my eyes.

"Yes." is all I can say.

He slips the ring onto my ring finger. He brought one hand around my waist placing it flat against my back pulling me to his strong wrestle built chest. I tremble, shaking even in his embrace. I've never been this close to a man before yet I'm alone with one a stranger "you never have to worry about being my wife. My promise is to treat you like a queen, my queen." Reign says close to my ears and tingles run down my spine as he places his lips to my neck gently brushing them to my neck. I freeze, my heart pound so heavy and loud. I may have a heart attack.

He certainly doesn't need the money at least not what I can offer. I can't even put a price tag on the ring he presents to me. It is a beautiful oval Aquamarine tourmaline framed by halos of pavé diamonds set in enduring white diamonds around the aqua diamond in the centre. How did he know my birthstone? So much mystery about this man. First, he knows my parents, then he has eyes on them, then offers me protection and I don't know what I did to deserve any of it. Now he knows my birthstone what else does he know.

He must have felt the thrills running down my back because he smirks looking into my eyes.

"Wha-" I clear my throat "what happens next."

"I will kiss you as I am dying to."

This man has a way of making me speechless. I didn't have a word for that. He leans in has before pressing his lips to mine. My eyes close, all thoughts flew away and I can only feel soft lips press gently against mine. He intensifies all my senses, my heart pound in my ears as I feel his frame press against mine.

He didn't deepen our kiss he pulls away, leaving me standing there with my eyes close.

"Now, if you are finished eating let's go to bed because tomorrow is our wedding day."

My eyes snap open "Why so soon?" I ask.

"If I had my way little dove, you would have already been my wife."

And again not a damn word to say, I blush. A man like him must have plenty of women, just look at him. In his embrace, I could feel his lean, tight body. Oh God help me, look at my life and what I'm thinking about. Look at all that has happened in my life which I've come to know from the Callender in the bathroom, it has been two weeks. I'm in so much of a mess and he has taken over my mind, rendering me speechless all in under half a day.

Curiosity gets the best of me "Reign, how am I sure you do not have another wife in another country." I had to ask.

He looks at me for a few seconds, he chuckles the best sound I've ever heard of a laugh. Even his laugh is sexy as him.

"Little dove is that what you are worried about," he says losing his tie.

"That is not an answer."

"You are going to be my only wife, Delsa Mingo."

"Why me? Of all the people to save, why me."

He stops what he is doing. "Because I can little dove," Reign says studying my face.

"That is not an answer," I state.

"It is all you are going to get. Come get some rest you have a very busy day tomorrow."

If vague was a person it would be this man. I know nothing about him and I had a feeling he knows everything about me, even as little as my birthstone. I look down at the ring on my finger. I should be grateful he saved me from that hell hole. I should thank him for saving me and offering protection to my entire family but am I wrong to ask. Was it wrong to want to know about the man I hand my life over to? Was it wrong the way my heart flutters in his embrace? Is it wrong that my body heats up the way it did with a single touch? and don't get me started on his lips. Is it wrong to feel some kind of way?

Was it a kiss? could it be considered a kiss, what we just did?

"Can I ask another question?" I ask as I walk into the room door he points out.

"You should be resting and you didn't seek my permission before," he says taking off his suit jacket and losing a few top buttons.

I ask this time because he is being vague with his previous answer.

"Let's say I refuse your proposal," I ask standing in the doorway.

Curiosity gets the best of me every time and I honestly want to know the consequences so I had to ask. He walks over to the room door, places both hands on either side of the frame and leans down to face me.

"I would f**k you into submission," Reign says without batting an eyelash.
