Chapter 4

“Hadley?” Alisha asked when he woke to find her in his room.

“Alisha?” Hadley said a little groggy from the drugs they gave him.

“What is it, Hadley? Alisha asked him.

“I need a favor from you.”

“What is it?” Alisha asked.  “Do you want to see Chelsea?”

“No, I don’t!” Hadley said adamantly.

Alisha was taken aback at what Hadley said. “Chelsea is worried about you.  Why don’t you want to see her?”

“Because, it’s you I really want!” Hadley confessed.

“I’m sorry, did I hear you right?” Alisha asked, confused.

“It’s you I really want.”

“But Chel…” Alisha started to say, but Hadley interrupted her.

“I don’t want to her!” Hadley said getting irritated with her.

“Okay, what do you want from me?” Alisha asked, feeling awkward.

“I want you to be my girlfriend.” Hadley confessed.

“Hadley, I can’t do that to Chelsea.”

“I will make it worth your while if you agree to be my girlfriend.”

“And how do you propose to do that?”

“If you agree to this, you will be the heiress to my family’s multi-billion-dollar fortune.”

“You think you can make me your wife with the promise of money?” Alisha asked him in disbelief.

“I need to be married by my 18^th birthday in order to receive my inheritance.”

“So, why can’t you ask Chelsea?”

“My parents would never approve of Chelsea.” Hadley admitted.  “They think she is gold-digger.”

“But you and I both know she isn’t.” Alisha told him.

“I tried to tell my parents that but they wouldn’t listen to me.”

“And what is this supposed to get me?”

“Well, you get the perks of being the wife of an heir to a multi-billion-fortune.”

“So, basically, a trophy wife, while you see Chelsea on the side?”

“Yes, so will you do it?” Hadley asked her again.

“I have to think about it.” Alisha told him.  “I have to go.”

Hadley hated asking Alisha for this favor.  He wished he had just been killed in the accident, but as luck would have it, he was spared with barely even a scratch.  He was just in the hospital for observation for a concussion.  Hadley knew his parents would never approve of Chelsea as his wife.  That’s why Alisha had to fill the title.  All he was going to have with Chelsea was a secret love affair on the side.
