Welcome to hell

Ariel's POV

Two days later ...

Saturday Evening 4:00 pm ......

"I'll be on my way Livia" I yelled across the living room, it was a small house so she could hear me.

"Alright! , Be safe" she said and I walked out of the house.

Mother actually went for the surgery and it was successful, she went into a medically induced Coma , the doctor said she would be back to normal within two days .

But as of today, she hasn't moved a finger.

I just hope she'll be fine ,I really just want her to be okay.

Earlier today , Ma'am Belinda texted me and asked to meet up with her today.

I'm finally meeting her son, I just hope he's physically okay because if he's not I don't think I can take it .

She sent some money to me earlier to get a new dress and pull up in a nice taxi.

I stood at the bustop and flagged down a taxi as I reached for the door to get in , I saw someone reach for it and get in first.

"That's my Taxi" I yelled but he said nothing and just told the driver to move.

"Arrogant jerk" I yelled, but he didn't even pause to say anything.

Shit, people in this town are as annoying as hell.

****

I got into the restaurant I stood at the entrance searching with my eyes for ma'am Belinda and her son , just right by the window I saw her wave her hands to me and I walked over to her .

Her seat was facing the entrance so she could see me , but her son was facing the other way so he couldn't see me.

He looked well though, but I can't be so sure until I see his face.

"I'm sorry ma'am, an unreasonable jerk hijacked my taxi " I said walking sit at the empty spot beside her.

Her son was on his phone the whole time but immediately I apologized I felt him look up at me.

"Wow, first ,arrogant jerk now unreasonable jerk?!" He said and I turned immediately to look at him.

Oh My God!!

My mind flashed back to earlier.

*"That's my Taxi"*

*"Arrogant jerk"*

Shit!!, What did I just do!.

We kept on staring at each other, my lips slightly apart and a small smirk playing on his lips as he stared at me.

Contrary to what I had thought he was really handsome.

He was, well, different from all others. He was handsome, not perhaps in the conventional sense, but he had that appearance which could make him stand out in the crowd. 

He was fair, almost pale white. His unfathomable, golden brown eyes contrasted exceptionally with his light toned face. 

His eyes were as deep and expressive, where you could get lost if you stared long enough. His face had that faraway look in it, which cannot be described in words. 

His smirk,reached up to his eyes and wrinkled them.

Often, you could see a hint of pain in his sparkling eyes, which would disappear as suddenly as it emerged .

Above all was his frame and his stature. He was not extremely muscular, with 8 pack abs or 16 cm biceps , he could stand out in a crowd, which was mostly due to his way of carrying himself. 

I began to wonder why his mom took it upon herself to find him a wife, with this looks he could he get him self any girl he desired.

I'm pretty sure there's more to this than it seems, is he a violent person?!

Will he physically abuse me?! Oh God no!.

"Have your seat" I heard Ma'am Belinda say pulling me out of my endless thoughts.

I closed my mouth and sat slowly.

"Do you know each other" she asked again.

"Not quite, but I'm sure she sees me as an arrogant jerk and an unreasonable one at that" he said quietly with a blink.

"Why did you take the Taxi" she asked facing him.

"Car problems" he replied nonchalantly.

"Whatever happened back there, forget about it " she said.

"You pushed her with your actions to call you those things" 

"Yeah , always the one at fault" he murmured.

"I know you too well Xavier, just forget about it" she said although not raising her voice but authoritatively.

"Yeah right, so when is my bride coming " he asked his Mom.

"What do you mean when is your bride coming" She retorted and he turned to look at me.

"Don't tell me it's her" he said scoffing.

"I trusted you more than this" he added sizing me up like I meant nothing.

I almost sank in my chair with the look of disgust he gave me.

Right now I feel heads below myself.

"Where did you find this one Mom, the slum?" he said.

"Manners Xavier" she cautioned obviously vexed at his attitude.

"Mom, I never thought you'd do this to me"

"She doesn't even look classy as a matter of fact she looks so rascally" he said .

"Where did you get her from ?!, I possibly can't get married to someone like this"

Ouch!!

"How dare you speak to her in that manner" his Mom growled.

I just sat there with my hands on my laps, like I wasn't there.

I knew for sure something was wrong with this guy for his Mom to find a wife for him.

All these his perfect features are just a facade , I see so much imperfections and default even as early as now.

I just hope I'll survive what I'm about to get myself into.

"I won't marry someone who goes around insulting everyone she sees on the road" I heard him say.

"Look here, I'm not going to do this with you" he said turning to me.

"Not now , not today , not ever"

"You can go on and do your worst but this is the woman you'll marry". His mother said sternly.

He muttered some words under his breath but I couldn't hear him.

His mother brought out some documents and placed it on the table 

"The both of you have to sign this " she said and immediately her phone began to ring.

"I'm sorry , I have to take this" she said and stood up and walked steps away from us.

Xavier took the files first eyed it contemptuously and signed on it , he pushed it to me and I did the same.

Immediately I dropped the pen I felt him stretch his hands towards me , I looked down out his hand and slowly to his face before taking his hands into mine.

"Welcome to hell" he said with a big fat smirk.

I turned to look at his Mom with my eyes widened.

' Help me!! 'I mouthed but she just raised her thumb at me and passed me a small smile.

God!!.
