Reminding herself the failure ginger her nerves to take this deal another problem she was facing is Clinton himself she loved him.
"Can I ask a question"? Clinton agreed he asked her to go on.
"Are you gay?" Clinton laughs it off he assured her he's not gay the problem is he can't fall in love he sees love as a scam just two people using each other.
It doesn't only break jade hearts it took her back to her ex she had always thought maybe being rich will extort some respect from him most of the time she worked so hard was because of his disrespect for him to change for her,
the truth is men are men the once's that are who they are regardless who you are they will embarrass you, then there are good men who are ready to be committed how she wish Clinton was one of them he seems like the worst version of her ex boyfriend but he speaks humbly.
"I believe in love Clinton I think you should as well when you see your person you will know nothing will hold you back," jade said as she stood up to bid him goodbye assuring him as well she will meet him at the dinner.
"Here is my card I will send you a stylist so you can match up to my mom's taste, I know this whole idea is crazy I'm doing this for her at least I can buy your love" jade closes her eyes hardly she will accept to marry Clinton for real this whole facade makes her uncomfortable however thinking about the money makes it interesting all she had to do is play her part a Mercy Johnson in this,
very well so his mom won't notice, Clinton had promise once they are married get access to the keys she will receive her money in full, for now she's only have to receive allowance and PR clothings.
"I will not disappoint you, Clinton, you're not buying my love because my love is priceless you'repaying me to act to love you, I wish at the end you realize how this will hurt your mom if she finds out all the time you were lying she wouldn't think all this was for her" Clinton held her hand for the first time she feels butterfly in her stomach she feels very excited once she comes to think about it that Clinton does not love her only cares about fixing his mom long war dream she drew her affection back, this not real she will end up getting hurts if she keeps on getting attached.
"We divorce and go our separate ways I will take the blame for infidelity so no trolls will come to you" he kissed her forehead and left, and Brie rushed out of the bedroom screaming at top of her voice jumping.
"What's wrong Brie," Jade asked still holding the card, Brie sounds so excited.
"One fucking million dollars just for you to fake a marriage why aren't you excited" Brie finally stop jumping and was relaxing.
"I have feelings for him, he's my type of person, and here is his card he said he's sending a stylist I am happy about the money and the luxurious life the fact I feel guilty hurts me" Brie held her close and tap her on the back.
"Clinton give zero fucks about you, he's just paying change from what is in store for him I will advise you do your job perfectly gurl we are talking about a million dollars that's some rappers networth don't sleep baby," Brie said to her, jade stare at the card all her life she had been living in her head this time is to bring those images to live, she's finally quitting TRUNTS or maybe she has to buy the whole building.
"You're right Brie is time to work, what do you say we do to this card" Brie sternly look at her with her smile tugging on her lips.
"Shopping girl, razor sharping is going to hear from us" they both dash to the bedroom screaming on top of their voices.

"Is it your first time wearing Louboutin" Brie glanced at the stylist then at jade.
"I am sure this is a 2022 collection who wouldn't be excited wearing red bottoms" jade smiled now putting on her g-string pants with no bra just as the stylist instructed.
"I'm not body shaming I think you need to hit the gym and on a strict diet I dunno if sir Clinton ever mention to you his mother is high maintenance she will see a thing with your belle fat" jade stomach drops as it is now she had to meet particular standards.
"Of course just make sure the dress fits" Brie cut in doing a live video making sure all the designers show in the video, in a few the stylist was done finally handing her YSL's latest trend purse. Jade looked in the mirror she had imagined herself looking like this, she never thought that day was so close although she had to wept many times when her ex cheated on her with pretty girls she see no fault with the stylist mentioning belle fit she had to do something about it as soon as possible, she's beyond her ex standards she looks like Mercy Eke. she cost over fortune wearing all these accessories her imagination never gotten to things like this.

A white rolls Royce pull on the street outside the jade hotel room Brie had to see her off, and the butler open the door she walked in sitting pretty, woah she's in the likes of Saweetie the high maintenance girls.
"Good evening ma'am I'm taking you to Abraham's mansion on the fourth street," the butler said the famous street only the rich can afford, looking at her from the rearview jade told him perfectly.
Jade had to keep her composure everything is new to her from lifestyle wow she will be living like this from now on, she had to pretend to fit in she had seen more of Saweetie and Kylie Jenner videos walking plus how they talk she had to adapt to that, she won't try to speak like someone else having slight ideas how high maintenance ladies do, she's a full fan of Kylie she watches her time to time she speaks calmly, if you're too nervous you can start by touching your hair or flipping it she had only seen Clinton mom AKA Mrs Amika Abraham in magazine and headlines, Clinton message pop in she looked at it he was asking her if she's comfortable.
"I'm good I'm just nervous you know your mom" she pressed send, the top bar of the chat shows is typing... she dropped her phone on her thigh and looked around the car she had only seen Rolls on Instagram and movies.
Jeez this is reality, her reality has always been hell and hectic she loves living in her imagination now it seems like she forgotten about imagining and now living life, in reality, all these are going to last in six months, of course, she's not going back to been broke she is going to have her life fix together at least a nice apartment and a car will do with her business. She had to be on her game not letting her feelings for Clinton come in the way.
Clinton's text finally comes in stating she shouldn't be so scared of his mom. Her personality is easy going, agreed on the past she's an aspiring entrepreneur likely still in school and her school is under Asuu. Jade smiled.
"Good, I'm into beauty line that will do" she send to him the Rolls finally stopped the butler hurriedly open the door for her, she had already texted Clinton she was in, two girls came forward Bowing their heads leading her inside, the compound is nothing close to what's on the news the front patio alone can be the entire TRUNTS supermarket according to Clinton he doesn't live with his mother he live in the family penthouse under his mom control then get an apartment because his mum always show up unannounced. They walked through the patio sliding open a giant glass door the interior furnisher appears in all white deco walls, white flawless tiles, a huge grand staircase clothed in a black suede material leading all the way up with black crystal rails so stuck in admiring the house. She notice the large dining area does she eats alone here like this is overwhelming the whole staff at TRUNTS can fit in here and still have room. Is a cape Cod mansion design this is luxury.
Clinton took her hand and kiss it the maids are his mom master pieces believing this little show they will tell her more or less showed it to her.
Jade smile she realized herself admiring how handsome he look this evening, woah this man is beautiful is this her reality, she always hated her reality because it sucks from Dominic trouble to her ex once in a while I want to have sex with you, this is thrilling.
"How was your trip sweetie" jade smiled first flipped her hair back holding her purse stylishly like the girls on the runway, Clinton admired her, looking so different and the stunt she just pulled is not her, anything for the show.
"Hectic darling I sat in the Rolls alone I wish you were there, anything to please your mama" jade sat on one of the chairs so was Clinton.
"Mom will be down any minutes" the chefs brought all kinds of food they were all Chinese.
"Finally the princess is here" a voice from upstairs descending from the stairs holding the rails, jade smile looking up to her something stunning the way she walks in those wedges heels with her red toenail polish, her fingernails were painted orange matching with jades now they have something in common. Immediately she was down jade quickly stood up, and Clinton kissed her on both of her cheeks.
"I love your dress this is the new Alex Perry, last time I was in the UK he told me to check out his pieces I told him lemme attend your runway, to my surprise the models outdid themselves the pieces were dopes" jade smirk her son got her on that one the first thing she notice is a goddamn out, on the other hand she had no idea about watching the Alex Perry runway show she glance at Clinton who find it difficult swallow the lump hanging in his throat, she held her son's hand and kissed it.
"My world" jade heart breaks in that instance she loves him so much and the best he could do is lie to her. She smiled at jade after admiring her dress, ohh the food this was for brunch just three people in the room with different kinds of dishes, chef kept shuffling different foods asking her to try desserts, some continental cuisine in this bloody life she will never dream off almost want to throw up baby girl pretend to be use to everything, even on this side is not easy.
"So jade which of the models do you like the most I mean the models killed it," she asked dishing her food.
"Alessandra Ambrosio, ..." Clinton is surprised at how she knew it, Clinton's mom gives her thumbs up. On the contrary, jade did not know Alessandra had model for Alex Perry's clothing brand although she loves Noami Campbell she had to go with her instincts and mention Ambrosio thank God she got it.
"How long have you and Clinton been dating jade"? She asked again smiling nonstop she's nothing like what they tag her in the media just a few hate comments for sure Amika Abraham is a Nigerian sweetheart and one of the best-selling authors both in Nigeria and the UK, she had done interviews for the New York Times back in the 1990s and now the big multi-billion company only offer her articles for their attachments.
"Three months mom she's the best thing that had ever happened to me, I want to make sure I support her in all her endeavors because I'm in love with her" jade looked at him surprisedly he spoke it so real for a second she felt goosebumps developing on her skin.
Her subconscious yelled at her to wake up that it was for the show stick to the script.
"I'm proud of you son that you have found love when I first met his father" she spoke the first sentence looking in Clinton's direction who was busy trying all the phone I know he did that to seem interested. then the last part facing jade who make sure her nervousness was clear from her face although Mrs. Amika's voice was inaudible because she was thinking about how Clinton profess his love for her this outfit must have done magic. After all, his facial expression looks like he meant it.
"I was just a freelance writer in this upcoming magazine firm when he came looking for a writer who can compose the story of Medusa at that time he was a filmmaker he wasn't condoning to the script offered to him he needed a writer whose words will come out real to the readers so I was recommended to him at the end he loves my work afterward we fell in love, our path had impacted our son so much-
That part was a lie her son is a manwhore, hate falling in love she's tripping over their little show.
"and you look so young and beautiful I was like you when I was your age very beautiful all the men wanted me-
She wasn't lying how can fifty years old woman look half of her age, in shape, I'm sure she had work done on her body hot and sexy.
" my son has a good taste and I assure you my love" jade look so profound she heard some part of her talking. The truth is her son is a manwhore he sees love as scam just to make his mom feels better about him he proclaimed he had been in love for three consecutive months what a lie it disgust jade then she realized he's only here for the show nothing else.
"I am lucky to have him as well he changed my life for the better, I wanna go this path with him" jade wishes his mother knew how much his son hated to love, love is not in his bio he's a hooker just like her ex, and anyone else.
