Marley feared and took a step back but then she remembered her final goal she gathered all her courage and spoke ,"Can we talk."
Enzo looked at his watch and said ,"You have ten minutes."
"Fine I will be quick ,"Marley gritted her teeth and then continued.
"I first saw you at a party few months back and thought no person in the room was more handsome and charming than you .Later I kept on hearing about your achievements everywhere and was totally impressed by you .
I could not stop thinking about you and crazily staked you but you were such a private person that I did not find anything about you. Luckily God heard my prayers when I got to know you were coming to X city .So I pushed all my work aside and came to meet you .We both are single so why not give it a shot ,"Marley said .
"Not interested ,"Enzo flatly refused. He felt as if this was a well-rehearsed speech.
"I really like you , if you don't give me a chance how will you know whether we are compatible or not ,"Marley pleaded.
Enzo chuckled and Marley felt embarrassed .Here she was confessing to him but he was laughing at her .
"Don't you think saying truth will save you a lot of time ,"Enzo raised his brow.
"I don't know what you are talking ,"Marley said innocently.
"Then I have nothing more to say to you ,"Enzo took a step forward.
"Please wait , "Marley put all her ego aside and decided to come clean with him.
Enzo noticed that all the shyness was gone and it was replaced by a stern gaze.
"Everyone was right about you , it's not easy to fool you ,"Marley said in an irritated tone. While Enzo looked at her lazily.
"I want to marry you . Don't worry it will just be a business marriage . Even though I have known you for a short time I can confidently say we both have similar interests , don't rely much on emotions and work will always be our top priority .We both come from same background so we know what to expect from each other .I assure you it will be a successful marriage and I can negotiate if you have any conditions ,"Marley explained.
"What are my benefits here,"Enzo raised his brow.
Marley's face bloomed as she thought he was interested in her proposition.
"My father is also a well-known businessman, there are lot of people wanting to collaborate with him .Whoever becomes my husband will have my father's full support. I will be your trophy wife ,prefect arm candy to any event .I will be a good host in any party and having me will boost your image in society .
The best part is I promise to never interfere in your personal life .You can have any number of mistress , sleep with any woman or better have a second family outside the marriage .In return I except the same from you. You will never ask where I went or whom I met. It will be a perfect marriage on paper but behind the scene we both are free to continue the same lifestyle as before ,"Marley stated eagerly.
"What made you think I need help from your father. We Santoris never beg anyone , we just order them. And secondly how can you say I am looking for a business marriage ,"Enzo scowled.
"Fine I agree my father may not be equal to Santoris but he is the second best. I know about your reputation , everyone calls you a cold blooded monster who does not think twice before putting a bullet through someone's head. I don't believe you have time nor energy to look for romantic relationship. If you give some thought you will realize its beneficial for both of you ,"Marley tried to convince him.
"Benefit to us or benefit to you .You said you now about my reputation so how about I use my next bullet on you ,"Enzo said with a sinister look.
Marley shivered and stepped back, she got an idea why everyone feared him.
"Your time is up,"Enzo turned around.
"Wait, listen to me .You don't need to answer now .I will be waiting for you at Y restaurant tomorrow evening ,"Marley opened her purse to leave the visiting card with him.
Enzo was at the door but suddenly he turned back and said ,"How can you say I don't love anyone ."
Marley was stunned for a moment then replied ,"No, that's not possible .You are just trying to avoid me ."
Enzo smirked and without saying anything walked out of the house.
Marley clenched her fists ,if her boyfriend was little more capable then she don't need to plead anyone .She was the only child of her parents and from childhood they trained her to take their business one day.
Marley also stood up to their expectations as she excelled in everything .She had beauty with brains , her cold and aloof personality made her win in business field and her looks made her popular among men. But unfortunately she fell in love with a poor high school teacher .
He was everything opposite to her , may be that's what attracted her .Such simplicity and genuine nature in this harsh world made her fall for him.He also reciprocated her feelings very quickly and everything was going well until her father found out.
First her father calmly told her to break up with him and when she refused his request he threatened her by saying he will ruin her boyfriend's life .Marley did not take him seriously but very soon her boyfriend was kicked out of his job.
No one hired him for another job as it was an order was her father .She tried to elope with her boyfriend but that was also discovered by her father and he told he will freeze all her accounts so that both of them will have no money and she was forced to return to her father's home.
Like this she was in a dilemma thinking what to do ,when one day she came across a friend who was having a business marriage . This idea struck in her mind and she was looking for a prospective groom when she came across Enzo in a party.
She got to know that Enzo was so powerful that even her father feared him. Her father will not only be happy if she marries Enzo but also he will not be able to interfere in her marriage which will give her immense freedom.
Second she heard that Enzo's mother was looking for a daughter in law. All this made her fix Enzo as her target ,she pretended to be sick and visted Aurora's hospital then got to know about Enzo's whereabouts.
But today after talking with him she was not sure her plan will be successful.
