 CHAPTER 9
 Seconds turned to minutes and later into hours... For a very long time, Andromeda's phone buzzed the living daylight out of her but she ignored it.
 She had better things to do and more grand plans to make.
 Placing her phone on her left ear, Andromeda waited for an answer as the ringtone started.
 Since she wished to rise in the fashion industry, there were calls she needed to make and people she needed to see.
 But more importantly, she had one goal, to rise using Wu Bai's enemy. Nothing would hurt him more than seeing that happen.
 "Hello," the soft voice of a young lady resounded in her ears, bringing a smile to her face.
 "Peng Xiaoli."
 "Good afternoon ma," the young lady greeted. "Happy married… Umm sorry."
 She had almost forgotten herself. Earlier in the day, Andromeda had called her to inform her of her decision and the fact that she should not go anywhere close to that wedding venue.
 Although she did not give her details, her assistant obeyed. "It is okay. I do not expect you to change the notion so quick, but I am not paying you to not change that notion."
 "My apologies."
 "No worries. I need you to help me get the information, contact number and email first of the CEO of Liu Corporation. Afterwards, send his full information to my mail. I need to know more about my future business partner."
 "Umm... do you mean, the Liu Corporation? Second top designer fashion house in the country?"
 "Yes. That one."
 "And the CEO?" She cringed a bit even though Andromeda wasn't there to see her. She was already anticipating her yell. "Isn't he an opposing company?"
 Letting out a deep sigh, Andromeda nodded, "Yes. And trust me, do not ask that same question, Xiaoli. Get it done."
 "Okay, Miss."
 She ended the call and waited for her response.
 While she did that, she got her iPad and pencil and began drawing. All she could do now to get her mind off things was pour her anger and pain as well as her goal into her work.
 It took her assistant fifteen minutes and she already sent her a mail containing his email and phone number.
 "Bingo," Andromeda let out as soon as she saw the message on her iPad screen.
 Ignoring it briefly, she finished drawing and by the time she was done, his information was forwarded to her.
 "Alright, Mr Liu, time for business."
 Picking her phone again, she called her assistant once more. "Evening."
 "Evening. Yes, please schedule a meeting with him for me, please. And I want it as soon as you can."
 "I am sorry. I already tried to contact his secretary even though it wasn't working hours to do that before you asked."
 "How efficient. So, what is the news?"
 "Mr Liu is busy. His schedule is full until the next two months."
 "What!"
 "I am sorry. He…"
 "Do not worry. I would get him myself on Monday. Thanks."
 "Oh and I found out he would be travelling tomorrow for a meeting and arriving Monday night," Peng Xiaoli informed her.
 "Okay. I can wait two more days then."
 ****
 On her wedding day, she ignored all calls. She only checked her call log the next day, when she felt much better.
 There were forty missed calls from Wu Bai and twenty others from several people.
 As she scrolled through the list of missed calls, her eyes caught sight of one and she paused.
 That was one person, she wished not to even have anything to do with, but as though that was not enough, he sent a message just like her useless ex.
 Her once calm face contorted as her nostrils flared. "Andromeda Kai! Call me ASAP when you get this text or else."
 Urgh! She felt like screaming in her head but she kept her calm as she placed a call to him.
 She patiently waited until he answered the call and waited for him to speak.
 Sure enough, he never disappointed as the always angry tone of his voice shot straight for her ears. "Andromeda! How dare you embarrass my family name like that?"
 She rolled her eyes at him whilst he continued. "You wanted to get married and yet you invited me. After saying I would not have anything to do with you, your mother pushed that I went and what did I get? An embarrassment?!"
 "She is not my mother!"
 "Andromeda!"
 She clenched her fist at her side and barred her teeth. "Father!" she let out, trying to suppress her anger.
 "How can you do this? Do you think my reputation is one to be messed with, huh?"
 "I see all you ever thought about was your reputation and never me nor my mother's happiness. Worry not. I would not embarrass you again."
 "There would be no need. Since you could not respect me as your father, I have disowned you."
 She scoffed at his words, clenching her fists tighter as a cold sinister laughter tore through her lips.
 "Andromeda."
 "Disown? Did you ever really own me? Mother died and you waited not even a week before bringing in that wench."
 "Stop talking about your mother like that," her father corrected in anger.
 "She is not my mother! I have no mother. My mother is dead."
 The weight in which she voiced out those words, sending all her anger and hate in it sent a cold chill down her father's spine.
 "Darling, please do not say that to her. She is still grieving. Do not disown her," a lady's voice resounded from the other end of the phone.
 "Tsk, hahhaa, playing the good wife role again, huh?"
 "Andromeda, I love you as I love my daughters, please you need to…"
 "Save it for who cares. I was the stupid one who wanted to share my day with someone who never cared. Thanks for disowning me. I hope you never regret those words and come running back."
 She ended the call, ignoring his obvious calling of her name. It was useless. She was not going to cry over spilt milk.
 He had been like this since, she just did not realize it sooner until her mother's death.

 Doctor Irish Lane- 28 years old, was a renowned psychologist in New York. She looked stunningly attractive, sexy, and smart—a real beauty with the flesh of ice and bones of jade to every man's eyes.
 One day, she woke up with a dashing and mysterious stranger on her bed. Recalling last night's event, she can't remember how they end up together in the huge bed. She stared at the calm face before her and was startled when his phone rang. The man woke up and quickly answered the call.
 She clearly heard the conversation he had. The stranger was getting married today! Composing herself, she hastily took money from her wallet and handed it to him without giving him a chance to explain. She sprinted to the door and disappeared from his life.
 Unexpectedly, when she started her new job, the stranger once again appeared in front of her, dragging her into a murder case his company, Runestone Group, involved.
 She refused him immediately, but no way he would let her escape.
 He calmly said, "It's very dangerous for you, being so beautiful, to get into my car in the first place. And I take no for an answer!"
 Irish tried to calm herself down and then did her seat belt. "Mr. Dover, I've told you that I also usually charge overtime pay."
 "Doctor Irish, don't you think your professional fee is high?"
 "Is it?" Irish rolled her eyes, and an idea occurred to her, "No, the price of basic commodities nowadays is increasing, so doctors should increase their salary too."
 "You are a smart woman." He said a half-sentence, and the end of his words was meaningful. "Of course, the extra money on the check was just an advance deposit. We can negotiate about the related remuneration once I'm satisfied with your performance."
 His scheming trick clearly trapped her, and it was too late for her to take back her words and realize the implication of her abrupt action.
 A dangerous game of love that is full of lies and deception. Two exceptional individuals that fate collided, leading to the past they tried to bury.

 Scarlett's world collapses when she is drugged and forced to marry an old, filthy-rich widower with five children.
 Trying to escape her seemingly inescapable troubles, she accepts an offer of a one-year contract marriage with a mysterious gentleman. He promises this will get her out of her hostile-arranged marriage problems. She took the offer.
 If everything goes well, she will be a free and independent woman in one year...
 However, many things take an unexpected turn. The contract marriage made Scarlett's life feel like she was riding a rollercoaster. A mix of exhilaration, dreaded inferno, and joyful heaven.
 ****
 Only a crazy person would accept his offer. And right now, she does not fall into that category. Her mind is still sane.
 "Please don't get me wrong. I'm just trying to help myself. And at the same time helping you."
 Scarlett was even more confused.
 "I know my problem is complicated. But, I think being married to a man I just met, without love, feels weird..." She said.
 "This is not a real marriage but a contract marriage that you can set up to your advantage. And also mine."
 Scarlett listened silently; inside, she was shocked and a bit perplexed.
 Xander crossed his arms over his chest while looking into Scarlett's eyes. He continued, "As I said before, I will help you, and at the same time, you will help me. I don't need to explain what my problem is. But, I assure you, if you agree to do a contract marriage with me, then your problems will be solved. So what do you think!?"
 Scarlett was in no hurry to speak. She slowly raised her head and said, "So I can put any clauses I want in the contract?"
 The man nods, saying, "As long as it doesn't hurt me."
 She offered a handshake to Xander, "Okay. You got a deal!"
