Love Decoy

Chapter One: Betrothed
"betrothed??!! what― what do you bloody mean?" Shiki yelled at the top of his lungs.
The lawyer backed away from him and fixed his lopsided spectacles nervously.
"Um, I'm sorry Mister Shiki, but it is written here that your father wishes you to marry Ruka Soeun."
Shiki banged his fist on the table, breathing hardly and sharply.
"I will not Marry Ruka-san! Can't you see? I do not love that girl! She's Zero's fiancée!I can't ruin that up for some stupid will!"
The lawyer nodded and arranged his posture.
"I can help you if you refuse the will. However, it may lead to severe consequences when you do it carelessly."
Shiki nodded determinedly. Anything to get away from the will of his stupid father.
"You have to marry another woman so that the contract cannot contradict your decisions, then when the contract expires, you can annul your marriage and be free again. The expiration would take six months or so. It's not so long. I'm sure you can do it. "
Shiki panted with concentration. Yes, he'll have to find a woman who would agree to marry him for six months. But who?
"I shall see you when you make up your mind. Call me." The lawyer gave him a salute then walked out from his dorm.
There was a light knock on the door.
"Come in." He said.
Takuma Ichijo came in and sat on his bed.
"Takuma, I need your help about something.."
Takuma took one look at his friend to conclude that he had a serious problem.
"Name it and I'll help."
Shiki explained about his father's will and about finding a bride who could stand to live with him for six months.
Takuma smiled.
"That's easy, everyone is crazy about you. Any random girl would love to marry you."
Shiki sighed and shook his head.
"No. I want you to find me someone who isn't crazy over me. Someone who could take divorce and accept it. You can offer money, gifts or anything.. Just get me someone I can marry"
Takuma mused.
"Hmm.. I wonder if.." Then his face dawned. "Aha! Be right back!" He ran towards the door and didn't even bother closing it.
Shiki raised an eyebrow at the door. His friend was a little weird sometimes.
Shiki laid on his bed, his arms behind his head as he thought of being betrothed to Ruka. He shivered. He couldn't even imagine the look on Zero's face if he would dare say it. Hell, no. He wouldn't dare.
He had to find someone fast, someone who he could live with easily. Someone who had dignity
He heard footsteps again and he propped up on his bed. Standing there on the door was..
Oh no. not her!
He said dignity not a rebel. Yes, Rima Touya was known in this school as the most rebellious student. She was always given detention, doesn't take modeling too seriously and.. eats gum. However, she was absurdly gorgeous. The only problem was, she doesn't know how beautiful she really is. Silly tomboy girl.
"Wha―" Shiki started.
"Shiki?!" Rima Touya gasped.
In the nick of time, Takuma arrived inside.
"Well, I found Rima. She's perfect for you Shiki. She's gorgeous, err, bearable and totally not crazy over you"
Shiki glared at his friend. Of all the people, it was Rima. Why did it have to be someone he doesn't even talk to? Technically it was HER who doesn't talk to him. AND SHE WAS NOT BEARABLE. SHE RANTS A LOT.
"Why her? Can't you find anyone else?" Shiki demanded angrily and quietly towards Takuma.
Rima suddenly cleared her throat.
"Woah, woah. If anyone has the right to get angry here, it's me. Takuma-kun approached me and he said you will pay me big bucks if I marry you for six months. Then he dragged me here since I'm in short of money."
Shiki gaped at her. She can't be serious.
"So you don't mind if we live together for six months? As my wife?" He inquired sharply.
Rima scoffed at him.
"Yes, I may sound crazy but I will do it if you pay me."
Takuma melted into the background. And cheered on his friend silently.
"How much?" Shiki asked.
Rima smirked.
"One million."
Shiki merely shrugged.
"Why would you need such a huge amount? You aren't a gambler are you?"
Rima smacked his arm.
"Of course not! I need the money for tuition. I'll be sending an application to Paris because I have to study in a prestigious modeling school. It's quite expensive and I don't have enough money to support my tuition."
Shiki nodded and stuck out his hand.
"I'll double the price if you do a good job."
Rima eyed his hand for a suspicious moment before taking it determinedly.
"You got yourself a deal then, Shiki. I'm your wife it is."
