"Hey James", I said.

"Sorry uhh, I kinda overhead your conversation, shit that was bad", he said.

I shrugged, "Well I was just taking your advice", I said with a shrug.

"No no no, I said talk to him about it, not yell at him Jesus Lexy no one in the universe has ever yelled at him like that, I swear not even his dad", he said.

"So what's he going to do? throw me out? or kill me? punish me? take me through painful torture?, I don't mind, anything to get me out of this house", I said with a shrug.

He stared at me with a shocked face.

"You know you're a very wild lady", he said.

I laughed, "I'm not, I'm just a feminist and I don't see my feminism dreams coming true if I stay in this building like this", I said.

"Just try not to upset Amber that much, he's really temperamental", James said.

"Oh my God I will so upset him till he looses it and actually send me out of here", I said heading back to my bed.

"Think about Martins, do you really think this whole marriage thing is going to work? in fact I doubt I'm even married to him. First he didn't show up for the wedding, he gives a stupid excuse, then he says his vows on the phone with a ' Yeah whatever ' reply, he shows up the next day after successfully avoiding the wedding, no honeymooners, no apology, no regards, I don't know anything about this man, nothing at all and he's not even making any effort to even act like he's interested in this whole situation, like oh my God she's the one that needs me so I don't have to give a fuck about her,oh what is it because I'm in a way dependent to him? does he feel like he can treat me like that? Fuck James if it's going to be like this, release me already let me just go to the streets and get killed already ", I said with so much anger.

"Amber is...not that guy ", he managed to say.

"He's not that kinda person who-"

"Gives a fuck about people's feelings or emotions, he's hard hearted, doesn't care about anyone yes James I know all those fucken rumors so don't give me another introduction of how he is, I don't care what he is outside these walls, and I don't want to ", I said.

James sighed.

"Okay okay just calm down, I'll try talking to him, just relax geez don't hit me I'm not the one you should be mad ate ", he said.

I groaned and rubbed my temples.

"Just wake me up when it's time for dinner ", I said getting under the cover.

He nodded and left.

I'm so not gonna last up to a year here.

I think I dozed off and by the time I woke up, there was a soft knock on the door.

It was Mrs Williams telling me that dinner was ready.

I looked outside and it was dark.

I got up sluggishly and headed for the kitchen to get my food back to my room, but Mrs Williams stopped me and said I'll be having dinner downstairs.

I groaned and headed towards the dinning and met only Amber there already eating with his phone glued to his face.

He looked up from his phone, gave me a quick glance and then went back to his phone.

Mrs Williams came inside.

"No phones today young man", she said grabbing his phone.

"Oh c'mon now, I was in the middle of something important", he groaned.

"Well you have something more important right in front of you now", she said pointing at me.

"How's this more important than what I'm doing with my phone?", he asked.

"This?", I asked ready to start yelling again.

Okay did he just describe me as an this?!!!

"Calm down Lexy, just sit down, he has no control over his mouth sometimes", she said patting my shoulder and helping me sit down.

"Where are the boys?", Amber asked.

"Oh they're not having dinner today with you two because you two have a date right now ", she said smiling.

"A date?!", both of us asked.

"Yes, a date. I'm hearing rumors that you two are not doing well and you barely talk to eat other and that you barely even know each other, so the boys and I agreed to allow you two have a date", she said with a sweet evil smile.

He groaned.

"How long is this going to last?", he asked.

She stared at his phone.

"One hour ".

Now this time I was the one that groaned.

"The sooner you get this over with the sooner you can go, so, I'm waiting, please start ", she said sitting down.

I sighed and started eating, I kinda want this tho.

"Tell me about your self ", I started.

"Amber Mattew, serial killer ", he said casually eating his food.

"Something the entire world hasn't heard ", I said with an upset face.

"I'm married to Lexy", he mumbled sarcastically.

"Okay something I don't know " I asked this time more demanding.

"That you're very annoying ", he said.

I sighed and dropped my fork.

"This is not working ", I told Mrs Williams.

She turned to Amber with a frown.

Amber rolled his eyes.

"What? she asked I gave her the answer, please I'm tired", he said.

I swallowed hard and tried to control my tone.

"Why did you agree to marry me ", I asked

"Because your father needed someone to protect your ungrateful imagine and I was kind enough to agree ", he said... that's it, I've had it.

No man talks to me like that, no single one.

"First of all... AMBER... I'm not ungrateful, I'm only pissed that you decided to ditch our supposed wedding for a day off in Miami like I didn't have important things to do , and you didn't apologize about it, you felt like you did nothing wrong and you didn't even see a fault in it and you expect me to applaud you for that? so what you feel like because I'm somehow dependent on you so you can use the opportunity to do whatever you want to? I don't take that at all, you could at least apologized, but no, you didn't, that is a very selfish move ", I said controlling my voice.

"I'm the one doing you the favour here, so why should I apologize?", he asked.

"That's exactly the problem! because you feel like you're doing me a favour doesn't mean you can treat me like trash Amber, that's not a free ticket ", I said again with anger in my voice.

"Well that's what you get marrying me", he said.

"Do you think I wanted to marry you??!!", I started yelling.

"Do you think I ever even planned on walking down an aisle to meet any man and bond my entire life with the person? no! I didn't! I never wanted to! I wasn't even given an opportunity to make a decision, I just came back home to meet my wedding card on the table, a wedding that I never planned for, a man that I only knew was a serial killer and had no emotions oh my God that's a perfect husband right? now the thing is, you had evey right to say no to marrying me and we wouldn't be sitting here having this stupid conversation right now but you decided this, not me Amber, you!", I had lost it, I had so lost it.

"Lexy if I say I don't want to attend my wedding but I still get to be married, it'll happen whether you have anything to say about it or not ", he said.

I looked at him for a moment with hatred developing in my heart already.

"So you think we're married?", I asked calmly.

"I doubt honestly because I don't think I remembered you slipping a ring on my fingers or saying any Marital vows or signing any contract in fact I feel like I'm actually married to James here, not you", I added.

"I paid $300,000 as your dowry so I fully have possession over you ", he said.

"I will pay you that freaking $300,000 because if that's what you feel like is the problem then I will fucken pay you that money so I can move on with my life and get killed ", I added.

"Well princess that is not happening, because as far as I'm concerned, your father and I signed a contract which is supposed to last for at least 10 years that you're going to be my legal property,so you'll just have to deal with it "

I paused.

No wait, I froze.

My dad didn't tell me anything about any contract.

"Amber just let me go and I'll be less trouble for you ", I said calmly.

"No"

I closed my eyes.

My world is so over.

If this contract thing is true....then I'm done for.

I stood up calmly and left the dinning room and went straight for my room and crashed on the bed.

That's my typical life... from one prison to another... from one tall wall to another tall wall... from one locked door to another locked door.

There's no such thing as freedom from where I come from.

And sadly, this is how I'm going to live for the next ten years.

Hopefully, I'll die before then.
