Doing As He says
"You will do as I say, if you try to act funny or smart a bullet or two will run into your head." He said to her,
As usual she had been dragged from her bed and poured a bucket of water.
She was still shivering from the coldness of the water as silent anger surged through her.
Her wet clothes were plastered to her legs making her gown look kind of transparent.
"I'm I supposed to go like this ?" she asked suddenly even before she could stop herself.
He took a long drink from the wine glass and scrunched his face from the sour taste.
"You can go this way if you want ,besides I don't own a fashion house."
There was something deep in her mind to say or maybe she felt like giving him a slap but that won't do.
He adjusted his dark suit and she could see the auburn hair on his chest reflecting in the early morning sunlight.
"Listen Mai Carina,this is not your house and as far as I'm concerned I'm not taking you shopping even when we are married."
She had learned just a few hours of staying with him to be immune to his rude talks, insults and shocks which he threw at her at intervals .
He smiled at her distorted face which was conjured in silent anger.
"I don't need to explain myself further. I know you're not as dumb as your father ." He said approaching her.
He was so close to her that their bodies were only inches apart .
“I don't have the heart to kill,you,no,just be obedient to me.”
He lifted one long finger and traced it down her chin and came so close to her , his breath fanning her neck as he sucked in her feminine scent.
"I should have done this myself but you can see, I don't like stress."He continued.
"Get me the safe and the vouchers your father is hiding and don't leave any trace behind.”
Then a smile came up his face.
Then he lifted his face and found out that she had turned her face away, looking elsewhere uninterested.
"Then when you get back we will have a pleasure or two."He smiled at her ,turned her to look in the eyes.
With his finger,he slowly turned her face to him and before she could protest he claimed her lips suddenly in one fierce kiss, deepening it .
As she wriggled,his other arm circled her waist and he drew her close to him that she was feeling his hard on.
When he was done,he released her and smiled at his victory.
He licked his lips.
"Let me save my energy for tonight."
She almost spat in disgust.
His smile was captivating and she wished it belonged to someone more nice and caring not this devil her parents had chosen for her.
She wanted to cry .There was no need to cry now she consoled herself ,she would save her strength for other teary days .
Because she knew deep down she was going to cry every day that she might even win an award if she became consistent in it.
Still standing in her wet dress,a gentle wind from the window blew and she shivered slightly.
He probably saw that she was shivering but he pretended not to and poured himself another glass of vodka.
He took a sip then before she could realize it he threw the remnant at her and she shivered at his sudden action.
"Now go change up into something nice ,my men will take you to your home. "
Then he moved towards the window and stared out.
"And you have just 15 minutes to go in there and do as you are told else the house and you int ,will get blown away. "
He announced and her eyes widened at the sudden information and her heart began to hammer all over again.
"Yes." He laughed."I sent my men yesterday to do the needful."
"But ..." he said, raising a finger."If you do as you are told and don't act smart, probability is that I might give you back your father's company and the scholarship and maybe forgive his debts.”
She lifted her eyes up in surprise and hope surged through her. She couldn't believe her ears.
"I can give everything back to you but the only thing I'm not letting go is you,you are my price,my bargain ."
He said and chuckled and gulped down the vodka straight from the bottle.
"Don't get your hopes high,it's signed already,a marriage arranged between us and as far as I'm concerned,you are mine."
She shuddered at his statement and marveled at how quickly her life had changed in just a few hours and fresh tears poured from her eyes.
Now here she was standing before a man who was reckless and cold hearted and claimed to be her soon to be husband because her parents owe him so much.
Fate had decided to act cruel and she was just a helpless spectator watching on
She was helpless now and the only person who could stand for her was Stella her best friend and Chase, her boyfriend.
She knew Chase would probably be searching for her now.
He would be crazily worried over her,she wished he could just report to the police already
He gave her a smile as if reading her thoughts ,he intoned.
"Nobody is coming to save you,so better start accepting your position as my bride." Then he waved his hands.
"You can go change and don't keep me waiting."
She turned around and began to walk to the door.
"If you do as you are told there's something I will help uncover too.There are so many rewards for you if you get me all I asked.”
She turned, hearing the sincerity in his tone.
“When we get married,all this men will be gone and you will live your life in peace.”
She stood waiting for him to finish.
"So do you think your parents died in a car crash?" he asked.
She lifted her brows at his question and he gave a small laugh.
"Just be good and I will also tell you who murdered your parents."
