Chapter 7

"Todd?! What does he want?" I thought, rolling my eyes.

******Flashback******

Two weeks ago

"I'm so sorry Todd, I can't go on with this relationship anymore", I said and noticed a flash run across his eyes.

"What… wh…at are you talking about?" He asked with a little crack in his voice.

I'm getting married, I replied nervously and took my gaze to the floor.

He furrowed his brows and scoffed.

"So the rumors are true?" He asked calmly, but I could see his veins popping out.

"I'm sorry…."

"Lucinda, you can't do this to us, I won't let you get married," he said, advancing towards me.

"I am going to stop this wedding," he said with his voice turning icy.

I was beginning to feel uneasy with the way he was acting.

"Don't you think it's time?" he asked and I furrowed my brows feeling more confused and uneasy.

"Time for what?" I asked confused.

He bent his head sighing, next he lifted his head and began kissing me.

"Todd we can not do this," I said, unlocking from the kiss, my heart beating rapidly.

"Look, Lucinda, if we must stop the wedding then we need to do this," he said, staring back at me.

"Todd, ple..asee" I said, trying to stand up, but he held me back and pushed me backward, making me fall forcefully onto the bed.

Next, he came on top of me and began kissing me roughly.

"Todd, stop, let go of me" I cried, struggling to get out of his hold.

I tried pushing him away but couldn't as he kept weighing me down and kissing me roughly.

Next, he shoved his hands under my skirt and my anxiety increased.

"No!! Todd, can't do this to me, I'm not ready".

Without looking, I reached for the bottle of wine on the table, and with every ounce in me, I released the bottle on his head.

"Ahhhh!! he winced in pain", holding his blood-stained head.

That way, I was able to push him off me and stood up immediately.

"Lu…cinda," he said, still groaning In pain.

"What the heck is wrong with you, Todd?" I said breathing heavily.

"Please listen to me," he said, trying to grab my hands, but I brooked him from holding my hand.

I quickly grabbed my bag from the couch and rushed out of the house.

*******

I sighed as I watched my phone ring again debating whether or not to pick it up, when Dylan suddenly barged into the room.

I mentally rolled my eyes, wondering if it's a habit, not to knock before entering a room.

I got home and went straight for my room and when I got there I found her sitting on the bed- Lucinda, lost in thoughts. She was still pretty even with anxiety written all over her face. She looked innocent, she was a nice person, perhaps. But I couldn't fall for her, I was only going to hurt her. She seemed too innocent to be caught up in my world, that was why I was never in agreement with the whole marriage stuff. I just couldn't fall in love, I hated the fact that I was forced into this, I didn't want anyone to get hurt because of me, but the deed had already been done.

I stared at her, noticing the thin clothes she was wearing, it exposed a part of her thighs and the upper part was showing a portion of her boobs, somehow the thoughts of running my hands through them made me hunger for it.

I didn't realize I was drooling over her until she said, "Dylan are you okay?"

Does she know how exposed what she's wearing?

I ignored her and headed for the wardrobe.

"Hey, I'm talking to you, what did you think you were doing?" she snapped.

"What are you talking about," I said feigning ignorance.

"don't play dumb with me, okay, I saw what you were doing," she said, and I scoffed and rolled my eyes.

Jeez! I couldn't believe it, what does this guy think he's doing?

"I'm talking to you " she grumbled.

"Well maybe, you should think twice before wearing such a dress again," I said, drawing closer to her.

"Oh really?!" she asked, rolling her eyes.

"Wait, are you making a fuss out of this?" I asked, narrowing my eyes.

"aren't you supposed to be my wife?"I said, emphasizing the wife. "Don't you have any idea what married couples do?" I asked with a smirk.

My heart gave a leap at his last statement.

He drew closer to me in a way that I was scared he was going to hold me, he narrowed his eyes from my face down to my chest and entire body, giving it a cranky stare.

I was feeling hot under his stare.

"don't you think I now have access to your entire body?" he said in a whisper, still eyeing my body.

I felt my throat become dry, I tried to speak but couldn't figure out the right words.

He gave my body one last look then smirked and turned away.

He changed into some casual outfits and left.

As soon as he left, I took in a deep breath and sat down on the bed.

What just happened? Omg! What has Dad gotten me into?

Dylan's words kept replaying in my head "Don't you think I now have access to your entire body?"

It finally dawned on me that we were now married and he had every right to me.

What the heck? I couldn't even imagine it, I am not ready for something like that. But what if he demands it soon?

Geez!!!! It's impossible, I thought, shrugging it off.

I remembered I hadn't had lunch and decided to go downstairs to get something to eat.

I climbed down the stairs and kept watching in admiration at how beautiful the mansion looked. I got to the bottom of the staircase and as a result of drooling over the mansion, I collided with someone who was trying to walk past me.

"I'm so sorry" I quickly apologized

"Hey, watch it, you whore" she snapped.

I immediately raised my head to look at her.
