“Go away, you ungrateful girl!” the father shouted. And she left the house. Seven years ago, Anna lost her mother. Three days ago, she turned eighteen. Anna graduated with honors from the first year of medical school. She dreamed of following in her mother’s footsteps. But her father confused her plans with his surprise. He announced Anna’s engagement to his friend’s son… Anna got a place in a student dormitory and got a part-time job in a cafe. That evening, the café was not crowded. There were three couples and a handsome brunette in an elite suit. “I’d only wear that to a restaurant, not to this ‘barn’,” Anna thought…
After her shift was over, Anna headed to the dormitory. A brunette man was standing next to a car, waiting for someone. “Anna, I need to talk to you,” he called to her. “Excuse me, but I’m in a hurry. “I am your father’s ‘surprise’ for your eighteenth birthday,” the brunette insisted, “your fiancé who failed to materialize.” “Oh, yes! “And what do you want to say,” Anna asked ironically. “I’m Adam,” the guy introduced himself. “And let’s call each other by our first name.” “Okay,” Anna agreed. “I have a business proposition for you. Just listen to me first, please, and then decide whether to accept it or refuse it.” “Yes,” the girl said. “I don’t know what kind of business our parents have. I need to develop my business.
But my father is the owner of the business, and he is blackmailing me that he will take the company away from me if I don’t marry you. I propose a fake marriage. You’ll have your own room, my financial support, and no interference.” “I need to think about it,” the girl said.
“You may kiss the bride!” They kissed… And a spark slipped between them. “I liked it!” Anna said quietly. “Me too,” Adam replied cheerfully. A few months later, the spark in the registry office turned into a flame of love.
