I Fell For The Boy His Daddy Was A Bonus

Chapter 11: Marriage Or Body ‘Is this for real?‘ Scarlett thought. ‘Or am I dreaming? This is Kaleb Wright. He may very well be the most eligible bachelor in the city and he suggested to be the right person for me?’

Sure, she admitted to having noticed him hit on her, and of course, she just could not believe it was happening

Scarlett did not know for how long she contemplated, but her senses soon returned to her when Kaleb asked, “Not obvious enough?” 

She cleared her thought and suggested, “You can be really funny.” 

“I wasn’t being funny.” Kaleb answered. He adjusted his frame so his body was facing her completely. He sincerely studied her face and then he claimed, “In fact, I want you to marry me.”

“Ma-Marry you? Why?” She asked outright, her voice could not help but raise. This was literally her second proposal that week, and she found it rather very overwhelming. 

“De-despite what you know of me and what you may deal with Luca, should I accept your proposal?” She asked, not sure what was going on in Kaleb‘s head. 

“Okay, first of all. Luca is nothing compared to me. He may have connections in the supreme court and other law firms, but he is beneath me. I am Kaleb Wright. Our family is the richest in the city, one of the richest in the country. We have business investments in all of Americas, in Europe and in Asia too,” Kaleb defended. “Someone like Luca James does not scare me, not for one bit.” 

“I can deal with him and put him in his place should he ever try to suppress you again –” 

“So... you know?” She sought. Her brows met with the realization that Kaleb knew more than she thought. 

“Of course,” he admitted. “You did not get to take the bar exams and you could not get a decent job because of him.” 

Scarlett sighed dramatically. Her eyes shut with the memory of her hardship over the past year.

“I promise, I‘ll have the supreme court dismiss the accusations against you. That way, you can take the next board examination. As for getting a job? I‘ll connect you with the law firm that we work with, or you can simply focus on studying for the next licensure exam,” Kaleb suggested swiftly, barely giving her a chance to react.

“Wait. Wait.” Putting a hand on her chest, she replied, “This is going too fast. First, you asked me to marry you. You did not even tell me why and now, you are telling me to take the board exams.”

Raising both her hands, she asked, “Why, Kaleb? Why are you doing this for me?”
