Chapter seven : I kept a wife

Catherine sat down at the back of the vehicle, while Travis drove and his fingers traveled through the lady's lap.

"What a magnificent sight to behold," Catherine said in her head. Travis dropped the lady in front of a big gate and they shared a peck again while Catherine watched them, because why shouldn't she? The eyes are to view.

Thoughts ran through her head as she wondered why he was contracting her as his wife and not the lady who sat with him.

"Hope I am not signing my death warrant because this is getting crazy!!, oh take off the thought girl. It's the money we are talking about"

As the lady went out of the car, the air in the room became hot, Travis played music as he increased the volume to the highest which cold blast of one's eardrum.

While he was driving, his phone pinged and the caller ID showed " Bigie Twin" and he immediately picked it up.

"Hey big bro, what's up man?" Travis answered smiling widely and the caller responded" Mummy said you are late, with whatever. She has just been calling my line!! I mean I can't have peace anymore"

"I am on my way to meet her tho, it's just crazy that she wants me to be in a hurry. Anyway, I'm on my way driving. Talk to you later " he said and turned off the call turning to face Catherine as if he just remembered something.

"That reminds me, you have to tell my mom that you are my wife. You got it?" He asked her and she nodded without a word.

After a few hours of driving they soon arrived at the airport road. Travis bent the car and then he arrived at the airport stand. Catherine was shocked because he told her he was taking her to see his mother. "What are we doing here?"She asked him as he slammed the door shut and she came out too.

"Traveling, to see my Mom and we are going to be spending the night there unless you wish to come back tonight" He replied nonchalantly and she could feel a surge of fear wash her body.

"Because of a contract marriage, I am going to be on a plane? This is really crazy tho. Hope this guy is not taking me to do organ harvesting, because I would never forgive myself" Catherine wrestled with thoughts in her head as she followed him behind.

Travis got a man to take out the luggage in the booth and Catherine just watched all this as she wondered why he was with the luggage.

"Well it's for him and not me," she said to herself and waved off the thought when she quickly remembered her sister Natasha and she pulled out her phone to tell her the situation at hand.

When she clicked her phone on, she saw the time was four o'clock in the evening. "I don't think we are coming back today tho" She muttered silently and began to text her sister" HEY SISSY, I WON'T BE COMING HOME TODAY, SO YOU DON'T EXPECT ME PLEASE, WE'D TALK ABOUT THIS LATER WHEN I COME BACK TOMORROW" then she tapped send.

Catherine is not the type who spends the night out and she knew her sister would be bothered, about her dad, she knew he wouldn't care as always.

She was snapped back to her reverie when he tapped on her shoulder and told her" It's time to get in, come on let's go" He climbed the stairs into the aeroplane as she followed behind him.

Getting in, she saw that no one was on the plane, it was a private one and first class. "What sort of man is this? this wealth stinks so bad" She said in her head as she sat beside him in the plane.

As she sat down slowly, she suddenly felt a greater fear as the clouds brushed her face and Travis watched her face.

"Why is he looking at me this way?"Catherine noticed from the side of her eyes when he touched her chin turning it to face him.

Catherine's blood rushed all over her as her hair stood. She turned her face away and he dragged her face towards himself again.

"Can you please stop?" She whispered with no energy in her tone and he chuckled slightly brushing his hair to the back slightly.

"No why would I not stop? I would!!"

The atmosphere in the plane got hot again and sooner the plane landed. They had just landed in Italy.

They drove out of the airport and in a few minutes they arrived at the big mansion where Travis's mom, Carolyn, and dad, Hughs lived.

As they drove into the house, Travis could see his mom sitting in front of the house waiting for him with anger plastered on her face, he smiled when he saw her.

He parked the car at the garage and he tells Catherine to sit behind." I'll open the door for you, and remember to do what I tell you to do. Do not piss my mom off and also do not upset anyone please" Travis said and in Catherine's mind she asked," What about me?"

That means if she gets beaten up for what's not her fault, her part is not relevant.

Travis slammed the door shut as he came out and opened the door for Catherine to step out. He landed a peck on her cheeks and Catherine faked a smile and they both came and went towards Mrs Carolyn who kept a stern face as she saw him come closer to her.

"Hi mom, how you doing momma?" Travis playfully asked touching her cheeks and she replied "Welcome Travis, it's ages and....who?" She was cut short by Travis

"Oh!, she is my wife, Mom, Catherine" Travis tugged Catherine closer and landed a peck again on her lips "You never told me, that you were married, son?" Carolyn replied and said with scorn " I already kept a lady for you and she is here, come on in!!"
