The Billionaire’s Fake Marriage

“There are too many of them.” Freddie laughed.

“Freddie you sly bas*ard! I love you. You have saved my life.”

“So what do you want now?”

“The names of people Holdsworth owe money to.”

Freddie took out his small notebook. “You better sit down cause it’s gonna take some time reading all these names.”

It took Freddie and Brian more than 5 minutes to note down all the names. Now Brian had the upper hand. “Freddie I will always remember this. Thank you very much.”

“Well, just remember when I call you with something.”

“You got it Freddie.” Brian hung up with a smile.

Callum Holdsworth was being thrown out of another bar when he heard his name.

“Easy there,” two hands supported him as he tried to get back up on his feet.

“Bless you mate,” Callum said finally standing on his feet, but as he looked at the face of his supporters a wicked smile appeared on his lips.

“Brian Watson! What brought you here? Are you stalking me you creep?”

“Really Holdsworth? Pot .. kettle … black!”

“Fair enough! So why are you here? Not to pay for my drinks I suppose.” Callum laughed loudly.

“Sadly for you, No! In fact, I am here to offer a settlement to you. You know, to get you off my back.”

“Oh you mean off your lady’s back? Well I don’t mind riding a lady with that body, if you know what I mean, eh?”

Brian wanted to punch Callum really hard but he stopped himself, knowing that he was drunk and so he won’t remember the beating after getting sober.

“Now listen to me Holdsworth. I have a friend of yours that I want you to meet.”

Brian grabbed Callum by his collar and turned him around. Now Callum was facing a 7 ft tall gorilla of a man who was staring down at him like the devil.

“Oh fu*k! Why are you here Devon?”

“I will tell you why he is here.” Brian pulled Callum to himself.

“I know you owe Devon and many other gentlemen like him a big amount of money. And so I want you to know that if you won’t stop bothering me and Janet, I am going to start paying these gentlemen on your behalf. But I will be paying them to hunt you down and beat your ass. And trust me, I have no shortage of funds, unlike you.”

Callum’s face was turning pale as Devon grabbed his throat.

“So pay your debts on time and leave me and my wife alone.” Brian signaled Devon and he threw Callum into the wall behind him.

“Wife?” Callum was shocked.

“Oh yes, I forgot to mention, but we got married yesterday. We are off to our honeymoon now. So I hope to never see your filthy face again.”

Brian and Devon walked away, leaving Callum by the wall. He knew he was never going to go near the High Seas story every again in his life.

A private jet landed on the Port Blair landing strip. The jet stopped and its door opened.

Kitty and Bilal came out first, followed by Brian and Janet.

“I love this place!” Janet screamed coming out of the jet.

“Everybody loves India.” Brian told her.

Together they caught their ferry and within two hours they were back in the same hotel on the Neil Island.

“Here is a toast to both of you..” Bilal said raising his wine glass. “For your blessed married life, and for being the real success story of High Seas.”

All of them drank their wine and laughed. But then Janet remembered something. “You know after knowing about Kitty and you.” She said to Bilal. “I realized that it was actually you two who were the first success story of High Seas.”

Kitty tried to remember and realized that Janet was right. It was indeed her and Bilal who bonded over the website. It was Bilal who pulled High Seas out of the bad storm.

“For us, friends and lovers!” Brian raised another toast.

“For us!” all of them drank.

Brian held Janet close and kissed her.

“So how many billions are you two worth combined together?” Bilal asked jokingly.

“Still nothing compared to you alone my Prince.” Brian said with a smile.

Bilal laughed out loud, “Well, that is true.”

“Enough of this chit chat, who is coming with me for a swim?” Brian took off his shirt and shoes. Kitty and Bilal quickly finished their drinks and ran to the beach. “Meet us there.”

Brian held Janet’s hand and started running to the beach.

“I will meet you there, just give me five minutes,” she said stopping herself.

“Alright, don’t take too long.” Brian kissed her and left.

Janet took out her cellphone and opened a link in her email. It was the latest review of High Seas —

The pearls of true love — High Seas

When founder of CookUp and billionaire Janet Crane came up with the idea of High Seas; a global dating site, many from the industry scoffed at it. They called the idea redundant and too complicated. The first thing that got attacked was the site’s forced privacy feature. Members were not able to see each other’s details without interacting with each other for sometime. Almost everybody after the launch penned down this feature and the service. Some of them even called it the end of Janet Crane’s career. But Crane proved why she is hailed a genius. She turned this service around without changing her concept and privacy feature despite strong advice from the veterans of the industry. And after she found her love through her service, people jumped on it like it was Noah’s Ark. Since Crane’s success story, the site’s members increased like a chain reaction. And soon people started finding love in every corner of the world. Many other success stories of High Seas are a living testimony of Janet Crane’s determination and faith in her own idea. Right now High Seas has the highest number of members registered on a dating site despite its paid membership, but new registrations are still pouring in. Last week, Janet Crane sold High Seas for a whooping amount of 34 million dollars, and now the industry is waiting for the next big thing Crane will bring out.

As Janet finished the article, a smile appeared on her face. And now she was back in the Neil Island to look for the next big idea.

The end.
