I walk down the stairs, my wedding gown flowing thoroughly with each step I take. I think of what I am going to say to mom, and my urge to see her increases. I really can't wait to tell her what I am going through in this house.
The maids help hold my gown as soon as they see me, and they can't stop singing my praises as I advance the stairs more. They keep praising me for being too beautiful and winning the heart of their boss, and if only they knew the story behind all this shit, they wouldn't be praising me but crying on my behalf.
The maids crumble off as soon as they see Mr. Grumphy. He walks towards me with this evil smirk on his face.
"Pretty soul," he whispers into my ear, standing only an inch away from me, his breath falling only on my neck as he retrieves his step backward.
"My lady. I want you to wrap your hands around mine because I wouldn't want my family and yours to find our little secret. " And yes, if you are harboring the urge to say anything stupid to your family members, you better cut it off now because if you dare, I swear I will slutter you," he whispers, and I can feel my chin strengthen in fear.
How does he know about my plans? "I am not going to say anything to anyone," I stammer out, trying hard to hide my fear that is about to betray me.
"It's for your own good, Mira. "It's not like I am forcing you not to because you will be the one to pay for the consequences," he grunts. Forcefully, he pulls my hand into his and acts like a gentleman as we walk down the stairs. Devil.
"Mum!" I screamed with excitement upon sighting her.
"Oh wow! You look so good, mom. "You have really changed." I spill honestly, not wanting to disengage from the hug we share.
"I miss you so much and have always wished for this day to come, and honestly, I am so happy it's already here. You are looking so beautiful."
"What I really don't understand is the reason why you and Arnold decided to have a court wedding—not like he can't afford an expensive and lavish one," she says with a sweet pout.
"Come on, mom!" We just wanted something simple, and we just wanted to make an exception." I lie. I'm hoping it will go a long way toward convincing her.
"Well, I'm not just happy about that; that's not the main thing, honey." I am just happy I can see you again, and why haven't you invited us over all the while or even called?" She asks the question I have been trying to avoid.
"Emm! I am planning on inviting you all over, mom, and the reason I am not calling is because my phone has issues." I lie in fear after remembering Arnold's threat. I am scared he is going to do as he has said.
"Oh! I am so sorry, honey. "How have you been coping without a phone?".
"I am coping fine, mom, and as you know, I am not someone who really likes being on the phone".
"That's not nice to say now, Mira. I know you are not a phone type, but we still have to keep in touch anyway, and lucky you, Mira. I have an extra phone with me," she said, pulling out a phone, which she handed over to me.
"Oh wow! I don't expect this; thanks so much," I utter, pulling her in a hug excitedly.
"It's nothing, darling; at least we are going to speak to each other more often."
"You know, baby," she says, holding my two hands, "it's just a few days you have been away, but it seems like years to me already. You know, baby, I really don't know how to thank you for everything you have done, and I know you are not really happy deep down."
"I know you don't want all of these, and you never wanted to get married to Mr. Arnold, but you did it for my sake." "Trust me, baby! I feel ashamed that I was the one who put you in all this mess at first. I sincerely apologize".
"Don't say that now, mom; today is my day, and we are supposed to be happy and not regret anything. I am happy here, mom, and I did not complain to you about all these things, so you have to be happy also, and besides, Arnold is a very rich man, and he is taking care of me, okay?".
"Are you sure, baby?".
"Of course, I am doing very well, mom, and I appreciate you coming over here today and all of you also," I say, turning to the rest of my family members who are sitting not too far from us and observing everything that has been going on between me and mom.
"Thanks, Mira; I am proud of you," dad says, pulling me into a hug that I don't want to let go of.
"Sister Mira. I hope you are doing great, huh?" My little brother is already sitting on my lap.
"Yes baby. I am great".
"So when are you coming to visit us?" he asks with a pout.
"Very soon, baby. I will be home soon to visit you all and take you on an outing."
"Awnn! "That's so sweet of you, sis," he spills excitedly and pulls me into a warm hug.
"Ma! "It's time for all of you to go to the court to finalize the wedding, and Mr. Arnold's family members are already here," a maid interrupts and, with a bow, walks away.
"Ok. I believe we all heard her; we need to get going already," I say, standing on my feet and excusing myself from them. I need to go cry my eyes out for lying to my mom and my entire family.
Unknown pov.....
The room ignited darkness, and not even the brim of a light could be seen except for the little candles around it.
He grunts after taking a dip sip from his cigarettes, and knowingly he puffs the smoke to the face of his guard, who scrambles to breathe.
"You say the wedding is today, right?" He throws it to his guard, who just gives a little nod, trying hard to stay far away from his boss. He wouldn't want to be wasted.
"Does Arnold think I am a fool or what? that I wouldn't find out that he is getting married today,probably the reason he decided to do a court wedding, silly jerk".
"Get your men ready; we are giving him and his wife a surprise today," he says and gets on his feet.
Arnold Pov...I watched as Mira walked up to me and only got pissed by the way she continuously stared at mom, who waved stupidly at her.She finally walked up to me after what seemed like forever. I take her hands, and wanting to be the gentleman I am not, I pull out a chair for her to sit on. the chair designed for both of us. Making sure she is well seated, I also take my seat.Now we are both facing the man who will join us together as one. He releases a sweet smile and decides to proceed.Minutes on....."It's finally time for the both of us to slide our wedding rings into each other's hands." I make eye contact with Mira, and her eyes aren't leaving mine."Gently, she pulls out my hands and, with a shaky hand, slides her wedding ring into it, and I do the same, and it's finally time to kiss. I watch in delight as her face twists into a frown because I know she is going to kiss me anyway. I have been waiting for this day for a long time. the day I will suck the living daylight of
"Welcome home, ma'am; we are so happy to have you in this house." The maids who came to help me hold my wedding gown once again said this with excitement all over their faces."Thanks! I am so happy for the love and everything you all are doing, and I promise to be the best boss you will have, better than Mr. Arnold," I whispered to them, watching as they giggled silently at my statement."Move my wife's things to my room," Arnold says to the maids."Ingrate, I know he has been waiting for this day all his life"."Yes, sir," the maids replied, following his orders."Welcome home as my wife, Mira," he said to my face with a smirk before he walked away.The days fly like the morning breeze, and in no time we are already in the middle of the night. I lie on the bed with Arnold, but I am far from him, as this bed of his can contain five fat adults.I pretend to be asleep. I wouldn't want to share a conversation with him."It's time, Mira," I hear him say, and the next thing I can feel is
Mira Pov...I freeze on the spot, not knowing what to do next. I watch with fear as they narrow their eyes toward my location."Who was that?" Arnold questions his brother, who renders dumbness as a reply."Just pray no one caught us, you ingrate," he threw to his brother again, and this time he walked towards my location, and it was like sense drove into my head at that moment. I tiptoed to another tree in the dark shadows."I think you are just scared. It might be anyone from inside," his brother bluts, and I watch as he forwards a deadly glare to him."I know you are ruthless, but I don't know you are also dumb. We are talking about what can tarnish our image forever, so you should know it's nothing to joke about, ok".Whatever, baby, bro. I am not scared of anything, and if it's someone spying at us like you are thinking, I wouldn't hesitate to kill him or her, ok"."That's all you know how to do; I thought you were changed"."Oh! Cut the crap, ok? It's not like you are any better
Arnold Pov....If there is one thing I have found out by staring into Mira's eyes before letting out a grin, it is that she wasn't really asleep and that she faked it. This only reveals one thing to me, which is that she might really be the one spying, like I thought earlier on, but I can't be really sure now. I still have to keep an eye on her and study her every movement. I know she doesn't like me and has been looking for an opportunity to leave, and if she finally finds out the truth, she will take it as an excuse to flee.I watch her stare at me as I lie next to her, and she clutches the bedsheet over her chest. What is she hiding? what I have seen?"Stop hiding those boobs of yours; I have seen it all," I say purposefully, just wanting to get her mad. I expect her to yell at me and call me names, but instead she rolls her eyes at me, looking away. The next thing she did was walk to the bathroom, probably to take a bath.Watching as she shuts the door, I look away, my mind focuse
"Do you think I am a fool, Mira, that I wouldn't find out that you are the one who spied on me yesterday night? I actually suspected you but wasn't sure until yesterday night, but I still have to confirm this morning, and that's why I purposely left the drawer open. Why are you spying on me?" He asks directly to my face, and I am mute because I have no answer to give. I just want to wait for him to execute his punishment because I know he won't spare me just like that.Mira, answer me: Why were you spying on me?" He spilled further, his brow raised with fury."I am sorry, just that I don't trust you and feel like I am not safe with you anymore, so I am just looking for a way to escape, and besides, I want to know what you are doing, even if I don't love you." I replied shyly and fearfully, expecting him to land a slap across my face, but he didn't."For what you have done, I am going to punish you deeply." "Now! Clatch your knee to your floor and lift your hands up, and that's just fo
Satisfied with my actions, I return to my room, ready to have at least a peaceful sleep. I am sure I will have a good rest now without being invaded by a hungry dog looking for somewhere to vent its anger.I lay on the bed for a while, my eyes closed to sleep.....,............I click my eyes open as the morning sun rests on them. A loud bang comes against my door, and my eyes swell up in fear. I think it's the banging of the door that wakes me up at first, as it's too loud."Just pray I don't catch you, Mira, because if I do, you won't live to spill my punishment on the world." When I hear Mr. Grumphy's voice from outside, I feel my head explode with joy."Go thank your stars. I didn't kill you in your sleep," I yelled back at him mockingly."You got exactly what you did for messing with me, Arnold; didn't anyone explain me to you at first?" I grunted further."Bitch! We shall know who rules in this house then," he replies, and the next time I hear the despatching of his footsteps,
WARNING: THIS IS STRICTLY FOR 18+ AS IT CONTAINS LOTS OF SEXUAL SCENES. READ AT YOUR OWN RISK.Mira Pov........In his room, he pushes me to his bed roughly. I am already scared and regret ever stopping him, but I couldn't just watch him mess with another woman. But why do I care anyway? It's not like we are in love, but I couldn't just bring myself to watch him do that.I watch in horror and fright now as he pulls out a long chain from his wardrobe, along with a belt."What are you doing with that?" I question him with great fear and trembling lips, but his quietness increases my fears."Please don't do anything bad to me; I am sorry for messing with you, Arnold. I shouldn't have done that at first; I would have respected you" ."Don't just harm me, Arnold; I am so sorry," I plead emptily."Take off your clothes; I want you naked immediately," he says, walking towards the bathroom."I don't want to return here and still see you with clothes on," he says before jamming the bathroom do
"Get up, Mira. I need you to get prepared. You are going with me to the meeting with the press; they want to speak with you." I hear Arnold's voice in my sleep, making me spread my eyes wide open."A meeting?" I am already sitting up."Yes, it's by 8 p.m., and this is already 7 p.m., so get ready. Behind you is a new dress, a box of jewelry, and a new shoe. You know what to do with those," he said, walking away."He wants me to go to a press meeting with him this night? Come on! I have never done that in my life, and I am not ready to start now, but what can I do? I should know this is what I am signing into when I decide to get married to a popular billionaire.Lazily, I walk into the bathroom, have a really quick bath, walk out of the bathroom in a hurry, and head to the mirror stand, where I apply my lotion. After this is done, I walk to the bed to get the clothes he bought for me. I admire the beautiful yellow gown before I put it on, then the jewelry, before walking towards the m
