Chapter 8: till death? no way!

Cara's POV

After we ate Blake insist that we should sleep in the same bed or else he will ugly cry. Can you imagine him ugly crying? That will be unsightful to witness.

I don't believe his threat but what the hell. It's not like we are doing unholy things on that bed and I am not ready for that.

We will just sleep. Nothing else.

Blake told me he will build another walk in closet just for me so for the mean time we will share his.

I hang and fold my handful of clothes and it looks pathetic when you compare it to his.

I scan around Blake's walk in closet and the first question comes to my mind is how many black shirts a man can have?

He has a whole closet space dedicated for his black shirt. Not printed just plain black shirt.

I change to my sleeping shorts and grab one of his black shirt. It drowns me. It reached past my knees.

His shirt is so comfy so I don't think I'll return it back.

Maybe we can combine our closets so I can have unlimited access to his shirts and hoodie.

I walk back to his massive bedroom. The wall is a combination of Dark blue and black. A customize bed was place in the middle of the room. Blake has no TV inside his room because according to him he'll not sleep at all if he has one.

It's fine because I think I watch a tv or movie roughly 10 to 12 years ago so I have no idea what shows are available.

I stand beside his bed as I wait for him. I heard the other door opened and Blake clad only in his boxers steps out.

I am drooling. I am a virgin in every sense of the word but I can appreciate the ripped and drool worthy physique of Blake.

I am a virgin not blind.

Blake saw me gawking at him and said "Do you want to take a picture sweetheart? It will last longer."

I shrug my shoulders and grab his Samsung s21 ultra on his side table and opened it. He has no password. It is very rare for a man to have no password on his phone.

I open the camera and take a picture of his godly body. Blake being Blake posed for the camera. He poses like a body bulider would in one picture then he is goofy on the next one.

"Sweetheart focus on my abs and muscles. It needs a little appreciation."

So I did. I am not complaining at all.

I take several pictures and stops when I can feel that the room became hot. Is the AC not working?

Blake grab his phone and check the pics I've taken.

We sat down on the bed and Blake comments on every picture I've taken.

"This one my abs is blurred. Delete."

Then he scan some more. "Oh oh. This one is gold. I love it. Save!"

It took him 15 minutes to review all his picture. I am now doubting my decision to marry him.

When he decides to recheck again because as he said he might miss something. I complained already.

"Can we please rest already? You can stare at your pictures again tomorrow."

Blake pouts and reluctantly lie on the left side so that leaves me on the right side.

I look at the ceiling and ask "When do you want to get married?"

"Hmm this coming saturday so Sunday we can spend our time together."

"But it is already friday tomorrow. We need to arrange different document before we got married."

"Leave that to me sweetheart. The plan tomorrow will be you will buy your outfit for saturday then I will book a spa package for you. After that go home and relax."

I compute how much is my money in my savings. I think I have 5K max.

"I know what you are thinking."

Blake said.

"What?"

"You'll not spending anything on this wedding Cara. Nothing. You hear me? I'll give you my card and use it to buy your dress and whatever the shit you need to buy for our wedding."

I nodded even he can not see it.

"Oh and one more thing." He stands up and grab a piece of paper and a pen from the side table and hands it to me.

"Sign please."

I sit up as I recieve the paper and scan what was written on it.

Pre-Nuptial Agreement between Mr. Blake Lucas Bradford and Ms. Cara Elizabeth Rossi

*In case of a divorce or any kind of separation between the aforementioned party Ms. Cara Elizabeth Rossi will recieve ALL Mr. Bradford's assets.

I gawk at Blake who was staring at me seriously.

"You are insane! No way!" I shouted.

I tried to give back the paper to Blake.

"No! Sign it!" He exclaimed.

"Why would I do that! It is unreasonable."

"Cara don't you understand?"

''I understand that you are crazy Blake! Asylum kind of Crazy!"

Blake sigh and grab both of my hands and say.

"Sweetheart that documents signifies that I'll not do anything to upset and cheat on you. That is your assurance."

I stare at his two colored eyes and realize that he is really serious.

"Blake it's too much." I murmur.

Blake shakes his head and said "Cara do you realize if you did not leave my ass back then we will not reach this point? I swear to you I am ready to follow you whenever you go at 6 years old. I am already convince even at a young age that you are the one for me. It just took a long time before we reach this point but we did. So can you please sign?"

If I did not go with those strangers would I have a different life?

"You are batshit crazy Blake."

"100% sweetheart" He grin.

I roll my eyes then reluctantly sign the paper.

"Yey!" Blake shouted then he immediately grab the paper and the pen from my hand.

"No backing out now Cara." He carefully place the document in his suit case and he goes back to my side.

"Come on sweetheart let's sleep. We'll gonna be busy tomorrow."

He suddenly pull me to his side and lay my head on his chest his arms around my waist and our legs tangled with each other. Basically half of my body is on top of him.

"Oh I forgot. I LOVE to cuddle." Blake said.

That's the best sleep I've ever had in my entire life.

🍇🍇🍇🍇🍇🍇🍇🍇🍇🍇🍇🍇

My trustee phone woke me up at 5am. I detach myself from Blake who I realize is a heavy sleeper.

I got ready for today. I take a quick shower to Blake's elegant bathroom that looks like a spa. Thank God I safely use his digital shower.

I wear my usual shirt and pants. I found my shoes placed in a shoe rack. I wear it and tip toe out of the room.

It look like I am escaping from my one night stand.

I walk down to Blake's grand staircase. When I was walking towards the front door I was startled when someone cleared his throat.

I turn and saw Charlie staring at me.

"Morning Charlie."

"Goodmorning Miss Cara. May I offer you some breakfast?"

Breakfast? I can finally have some decent breakfast. I think I am going to cry.

I nodded and follow Charlie to the dining area. Different kind of bread, cereals was placed in front of me. Bacon, ham and scrambled egg was also placed at the table.

I grab a toast and place the egg on top and eat it with gusto.

I ate almost all the food that is served. I ignore the cereals maybe next time.

"Thank you for the food." I thank the staffs who are waiting at the side. They all smile at me in return.

"A driver is at your disposal Miss Cara. Master Blake already brief all the staff. So don't worry they will assist you in everything. I assume Master Blake is still asleep since he will wake up an hour before his work."

"He is sleeping heavily. He did not even move from all the noise I make while preparing."

"I am afraid to say but that is one of Master Blake's flaw."

A Black tinted car which I can't see the brand and honestly I couldn't care less as long as it will bring me to my destination alive.

The door was opened by the driver. I waved to Charlie before entering the car.

We reach the office and he parked on Blake's private garage. I made sure that no one is lurking before I run towards the entrance. I start my normal routine. Blake told me to not go to work. I'll work half day then make up an excuse that I am sick. So no one will suspect anything.

I change to my work clothes then started to scrub the toilets. Jane and Maria arrived. I greeted them. In the middle of our conversation the private elevator opened and Blake steps out.

Early morning he is scowling. We broke apart immediately the two scurries into their respective place and I pretend to get flustered and covertly winked at him before running towards any nearby furnitures and pretends to wipe it.

I peek and saw Blake has a miniscule smirk on his face. It is unnoticable but it is there. He revert back to his scowling self and enter his office.

I take my first break then pretends to timidly knock on Blake's office. I entered after 5 seconds. After I close the door we coincidentally look at each other at the same time and both of us grin.

"Well. Well. Well. Mr. Bradford. How's your day?"

I slowly walk to his desk. "Well I am just a little bit irritated future Mrs. Bradford. You know why?"

I stand in front of him and ask. "Why?"

"Because my future wife leaves me while I am sleeping when I clearly told her to not go to work today. I woke up cold and lonely you know how awful that feels?" Blake pouts. Why pouting looks hot on him?

"I am sorry. Can you please forgive me?"

He did not answer. He is still pouting. "Will you forgive me if I give you a hug?"

His pout is gone. Blake narrow his eyes clearly contemplating my offer.

"For 1 minute."

"Tsk 10 seconds." I said.

"No 1 minute." He repeats.

"20 seconds." I replied. Why are we negotiating this?

"50 seconds. And that is my last offer." He said indignantly.

I sigh as if it is a pain in my ass to hug him.

"Fine."

He open his arms and I hug him. Blake's hug is very comforting. I will definitely hug him more.

We definitely hugged more than 50 seconds but who's counting?

"Am I forgiven?" I ask him as I regretfully leave his arms.

He nodded.

Blake retrieve a black card from his suit pocket and gave it to me.

"This our card. As I promised you can use this to buy anything you need for tomorrow."

I stare at it and the name Bradford's is engraved below.

"Thank you." I walk towards the door but I stop and turn to him and smirk "Oh Mr. Bradford I'll take my leave because I don't feel well."

Blake smirk back and replied. "Yes you may Ms. Rossi. I'll inform your department head."

I walk out and goes to the restroom. I wash my face so I look like I am sweating a lot and slowly stagger to Jane and told her that I am feeling under the weather."

"Cara are you alright?"

I shake my head weakly.

"Okay okay. I'll inform Mr. Bradford that you'll go home okay. Just a minute."

She press her line and I am assuming she is calling Blake.

*grunt

"Mr. Bradford Miss Rossi will take her leave for today." Jane explained.

*okay

Then he dropped the call.

"Go Cara you may go. I hope you get well."

I thank her and continue to pretend I am going to pass out until I enter the car.

I sigh in relief. God acting is hard but I am enjoying it.

"Where to Mrs. Bradford?"

I did not correct him and told him that I want to go to the nearest mall.

As he drive I ask him multiple question. His name is Carter, he is 30 years old single. He was one of the people Blake hire out off the street. He was a former substance abuser. He is 5 years sober already. I congratulated him. He has a black hair, brown eyes, straight nose and plump pinkish lips. Total hottie.

I think Angel will be a perfect match for him.

We arrive at the mall and I told him to come with me.

He agreed and he patiently waits for me.

I bought my dress and white flats for tomorrow. I also add a white ribbon so I can tie my hair with it.

I hope that my belly fats will not be visible on my dress. I am on the heavier side. Yes I am thic in every sense of the word but I embraced it and I love my full figure.

(I love this dress.)

I use Blake's card and I spent more or less 500 bucks including our lunch.

We go back to the estate and I take a warm bath to at least to destress myself.

I cancel the spa treatment. Maybe next time.

I informed Charlie that I am going to sleep in another room. Even if our wedding is just civil I will still follow that tradition.

Charlie agreed and told me that he will bring my food via the food elevator inside my room.

I did not even know that food elevator exist. Rich people has nothing to spend on so they buy or build weird things.

I ate my dinner and by 9pm I am asleep already. I set my alarm at 8am since our wedding is at 10am. I am so excited. Tomorrow can't come anymore faster.

💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜

Blake's POV

When Cara left. I contemplated if I can hug her while I am working. Then I realize that hugging her at home and in the bed is much more appealing.

That's a good idea. I am such a genius.

I look at the clock and it is time for my daily prank calk to James.

I speed dial his number and that fucker did not answer my call so I tried multiple times until he answered his phone.

"What!"

"Hello to you too Bestfriend."

I sing song.

"I swear to God Blake if you are wasting my time again I'll kill you."

Empty threat.

"I promise I am not. So James are you busy tomorrow let's say at 10 am?"

"For you? Yes."

I roll my eyes. Asshole.

"It is important Fucker! Are you busy or not?"

"No. Why? Don't tell me you are in Jail and I need to bail you out tomorrow!"

James exclaimed. Did he think that low of me?

"No! I am getting married tomorrow. I want you there."

There is a long silence. I even check my phone because I thought the call got disconnected.

"Pardon?" James finally answered.

"I - am - getting - married - tomorrow!"

I slowly repeated each word so he can understand properly.

"What the fuck? Are you high?! Come on man! If you got problems you can talk to me! No need to snort or take substances Blake!"

What?! He thought I am high?

"No I am not!" I denied.

"Denial. Shit."

"James I am really not high and I legit getting married tomorrow!"

"Hallucinations. Fuck this is worse than I thought." I can hear James murmur from the other line.

The heck is his problem? Is it a strange concept to hear that I am getting married?

"Don't drop the call Blake. 10 minutes."

10 minutes of what?"

As a good bestfriend I did not end the call and just stare at my computer screen. My office door suddenly opened and the honorable James Rosen-Hower graced me with his presence.

He gently close the door. He slowly walks towards me as if I am feral animal.

"Blake buddy how are you feeling?"

Buddy? Am I a dog?

"Fine?" I answered.

"Good. good." He scans me from head to toe and continued "When is the last time you snort, drink or inject whatever thing you used?"

The fuck? He rushed here because he really thought I am high as a kite?

I roll my eyes and glare at him.

"Do I lool like I am high James?" I ask.

"No but you are crazier than normal and you are spouting nonsense."

James reasoned out.

"I am not fooling you. How many times should I repeat myself for you to believe me?"

I pick up the pre-nup that Cara signed last night and showed it to James.

He scan the document and said."This is not a sex doll right? It is a real living, breathing consenting human being?"

"Fuck you James."

James grin which is very rare and said "Congratulations man and it's good that you'll be dirt poor if you fucked up. If I were her after your wedding I'll divorce your ass immediately. Wait"

He read again the heading.

"Cara? Your childhood crush?" He ask.

I nodded. "Poor girl." He murmur.

I already regret telling him that I am getting married.

"Tomorrow at 10am right?"

Maybe I should tell him the wrong time.

"Yes. At the court house near here."

"What? You are that cheap? I am seriously considering our friendship."

"No! She wants a civil one. I just agreed."

"She is a smart woman. If I am going to marry you I should invite the least guest as possible cause you're that ugly. I'll be mocked if people see you with me."

I should just end our friendship right now.

"I am coming. See you tomorrow!" He smirks but before he open my door his face revert back to his serious expression.

James is one of a kind. He needs a good woman to train him to act like a normal human. I hope he meets his match in the near future.

I arrive at the house and Charlie informed me about Cara's decision to sleep in another room. I reluctantly agreed. We are not even married yet and she is making demands.

I love it.

-Next day-

I woke up and prepare for my wedding.

I wear my black slacks and white long sleeved shirt. I place the 3 rings in my pocket. The wedding and engagement ring of Cara and my wedding ring. Cara wants an underrated ring for our wedding band but she did not specify for her engagement ring so I design one for her.

Wedding rings

Engagement ring

We will go to the courthouse in a different car. I go first and when I reach the court house James is already there wearing an impeccable suit. It looks like he is the one getting married not me.

Handsome son of a bitch.

We went inside the court house and wait for Cara to arrive.

The whole time that we are waitimg James is like the devil whispering different scenarios and the end is always Cara running away.

When the time comes I will ask his bride to be to runaway with me and that's a promise.

Cara entered the court house with Charlie at her side. She looks so beautiful. Cara smiled when she saw me.

She nervously glance at James beside me.

James shakes her hand and introduce himself. Cara to my irritation was charmed and blushing.

Enough is enough I break off their conversation and pull Cara in front of the judge.

"We are gathered here today to witness the union..." he droned and I zoned out after he confirms that our 2 witnesses are sane and coheren. The judge also asked them if they blessed my union with Cara.

For a minute I thought Charlie and James will disagree with the judge.

"Blake Lucas Bradford will you take Cara Elizabeth Rossi to be your wedded wife in sickness and in health till death do you part?"

He ask.

"I do." I slip her ring.

"Cara Elizabeth Rossi will you take Blake Lucas Bradford to be your wedded husband in sickness and in health till death do you part?"

I was expecting a smooth I do but no Cara complained.

"Till death really? No way! I have no other choice?" I can hear James snicker at my back.

I glare at Cara and she smirks at me. She roll her eyes and said "Fine. I guess I can hire a hitman later on. I do judge."

"I know someone Cara don't worry." James said.

"Thanks." Cara replied sweetly at him.

The judge stare at them skeptically.

I clear my throat and judge was startled. I glare at him and he compose his self.

"With the power vested in me by the law of New York and United States of America I now pronounce you husband and wife. You may kiss the bride."

Yey! I internally rejoice. Finally!

Since Cara is small I lift and kiss her. She was surprise at first but next thing I know she is kissing me thoroughly.

We broke apart and smirk at each other.

"Mission starts now wifey."

"Noted Hubby."
