Chapter 4

Maureen walked back to her room with so much anger boiling in her, she could kill someone when she gets angry but in this darn prison she calls a house she has no other choice but to control it.

She walked straight to her bed taking the book from her bed, back to its rightful place.

She drank the cup of water on the table, trying to calm her nerve down she got so angry and threw the glass on the floor.

Why does she always have to suffer, most her day always get ruined by that sly man,she wish her mother had never died

She walked to her drawer took out her pills and through them down her throat.

She'd remember when she always got angry over little things and start hyperventing her mom took her to the clinic when he discovered it was getting to much,they found out that it was a disorder where she would be unable to control herself.

She paced up and down her room, waiting for her anger to be subsided.

Walking to her closet, she picked up a white slim fit gown, a white block heel. She got dressed, waiting for her cue to leave.

Soon she got a text and knew it was time.

She picked her white bag and walked out of her room.

She walked out of the house, with her head held high, her shoulders straight.

Leo, walked into the restaurant with his hand in his pocket. The restaurant was so quiet, only the cooks and the waiter were in the restaurant, he had booked the whole restaurant for his lunch with Maureen.

Leo sat so comfortably on the chair in the VIP section, he crossed his leg as he went through his phone.

Maureen walked into the restaurantwith a blank expressions on her face.

"This way Ma'am" The waitress said guiding her to the VIP section.

Maureens heart pounded faster with every step she took, she inhaled, raised her shoulders high, her head higher, her expression blanker.

"Sir"the waiter acknowledge him.

"You may leave"

Leo looked at Maureen from head to toe, she was in a white body fit gown that went past her knees, her hair packed in a tight bound, Leo looked at her with so much interest, he found her breath taking. His father those really have good taste at least.

He noticed her eyes never left the ground.

"Please take a sit"

He adjusted his tie, "Good afternoon Miss Daniels nice to meet you"

she took her head up still not looking into his eyes"Good Afternoon Mr Nathan"she muttered realising a very feign smile.

He hailed the waiter to come over.

"your order sir?"

"I'll have latte and creamy blueberry baked french toast.

"And you miss?"

"Just get me black coffee"she stated .

"I guess you know the situation we have at hand and all I just want to hear is your honest opinion, do you really want to get married to me?

Maureen, got confused with the question, she knows what the out come will be if she said no, she would be given the worst punishment of her life ,yet again what punishment is worst than getting married to someone you don't know?

"This is a situation, where I have no choice" she said not wanting to add more words to her statement.

Leo was surprisingly shocked by her answer tho he'd never heard a voice as lovely as hers.

"What do you mean"he asked paying more interest to her, cause for the first time ever, he'd seen someone that didn't stare lustfully at him.

Maybe she's not as interested.im the marriage too.

"Here you go ma,sir the waiter said dropping the food on the table.

Maureen was yet to answer his question.

She feels like it's to much word to say, too much word to process.

Leo took his head back, this is actually the first time his having lunch with a lady, apart from business lunch, where they talk about work stuff.

"I asked you a question Miss Maureen"Leo said taking his cup to his lips.

"All I want to ask of you is this. If this wedding is taking place, I wouldn't like it to be a grand wedding"she said.

He asked her a different question and she answered something else,and who wouldn't like to tell the world she's getting married to Leonardo Nathan Radriel.

He took a bite from his toast chewed and looked at Maureen whose eyes where glued to her coffee.

Maureen took her coffee up from the saucer taking it to her lips she drank and the taste was awful it had sugar in it, her face still had a blank expressions tho she didn't like the taste.

"Umm waiter" she called hailing him.

"Yes miss"the waiter answered bowing, while Leo watched with keen interest.

"Please can I have a change of coffee?"Maureen Said.

She's acting all cold, no much talk and black coffee, he guess she didn't like the bitter taste of the coffeeLeo thought inwardly.

"Please get me black coffee without sugar"she said surprisingly to Leonardo.

"Yes ma'am".

As much as Maureen wants to show how sad she is, she couldn't cause she has become used to keeping a blank expressions so nobody could read through it.

"what do you think she is like?"Lilac asked Lila.

"I don't know, how about we check social media?"

"That is a great idea but we don't know her name or anything about her"Lila answered, flipping the page of her book.

"let's ask Dad"Lilac suggested.

The twin had been worried since last night, they wanted to get to know the girl their father had in mind for their brother.

even if they want their brother to get married so they can have a necie or a nephew to play with and a sister in-law they can consider to be their elder sister, they also didn't want their brother to end up with the wrong person.

"Father" Lilac called over the phone.

"Yes princess"Mr Radriel answered on the other line.

"Father please can you tell me the name of Leo's bride to be?"Lilac asked

"Why do you want to know that?" Mr Radriel asked as a sly smile grew on his old face

"Common dad it's our right to know just tell me the name"Lilac retorted

"Okay fine her name is Maureen Daniels"

"Thanks Dad" lilac said beaming with smiles.

"What's her name"Lila asked immediately Lilac took the phone away from her ear.

"Maureen Daniels"

"Okay I think I have found her"Lilac said.

Leo watched as Maureen, sipped the black coffee.

How could she be like that?

Her beautiful grey eyes, has not looked at his for once,

She doesn't even show if she's interested or not, her expression was just blank, she doesn't answer his question, she says a very different thing. He could count how many times she's spoken"he thought.

"Well Mr Nathan I guess,I should take your leave"she said standing up.

"Ohh thank you for your time Miss Daniels"

Leo watched as Maureen walked out of the VIP section and out of the restaurant he loved the way she spoke, not much,he loved the way she walked with her shoulders high an her head higher,and he must admit that she is really beautiful with s**y features.

he watched as,she walked into her car, her driver on a white t-shirts, her body guard in white T-shirt, jer car white.

what he liked mostly was her aurra .
