Chapter 2

  In Guest Room:-   

     Amelia is nervous thinking about what will happen next, particularly the first night. This is her first time to be with a man. She had less friends in schooling and college. Forget about a boyfriend, she never thought of having one. She is too shy to even look at boys.

    Her thoughts were interrupted when a 7 years old girl with cute dimple cheeks, button nose and beautiful brown eyes came to her with a lot of white roses.

Baby: welcome home mummy!!

Amelia: mummy????

Baby: As you married to my dad, you are my mom only right?

Amelia: Daddy???

Baby: oh stupid😊..you didn't introduce yourself to her properly.

Baby: Hi mummy, this is Christy Hudson daughter of a great Christi….

     Before she could speak further, A nervous Juliana took the baby outside saying her mom is tired and she will talk to her tomorrow. When she turned around she saw a confused Amelia. Without giving a chance to respond, she took Amelia to Christian room and made her sit on the bed and left the room after saying all the best.

(Now time for World war 3)

   As in the queue her husband entered the room and locked the door.

     She climbed down the bed and stood beside there nervously fidgeting with the edges of her dress. Entire room is filled with silence, no one is ready to break it. After what feels like eternity Amelia started walking towards her bag to get night clothes to fresh up. She looked around to locate her bag, it is kept beside the cupboard. Slowly she reached there before she touched the bag, she saw a pic kept on the side table in which her husband was holding a cute baby. It looked so cute. She can guess the baby is the same one who talked with her a few minutes before. She got confused why her husband kept the pic here, what if she is really her husband's daughter. She shrugged off the thoughts by telling herself that the baby is his family. If at all he is already married her family will inform her prior right?

        In all these thoughts she is about to touch the photo when suddenly a hand grabbed her wrist tightly and yanked her to the cupboard. She looked up to see her husband looking at her with anger filled eyes and his hold is so strong it surely leaves marks behind. She is confused about what made him so angry? 

"Don't you dare to touch my belongings" he yelled at her. 

She is taken back by his voice. "but.."  she is cut off by another loud voice of her very own husband.

"Listen to me carefully, you are here to be Christy's mother. So do your job and don't disturb me" he yelled again.( thanks to soundproof walls, no one can listen him)

"Mother? Christy?" A confused Amelia whispered.

"Now don't act innocent!! you and i both know why you agreed to this marriage" he shouted.

"Why?" she asked

"Of course for money, dammit!! you thought i will never come to know that you took money from my sister to marry me, such a gold digger you are" he yelled again.

She is full of confusion now.

"And remember, outside this room we are a couple and you are the mother of my daughter, but inside this room you are nothing but a caretaker to my daughter. If you hurt her in any way, I will show you hell on earth. Don't take any decisions in the Christy matter without asking me. Don't even dare to cross your limits'' with this he throwed her on his poolside and closed the door.      

      Amelia stumbled back a few steps and fell down on the hard floor. More than the physical pain her heart is in, she doesn't know why Christian accused her of taking money to marry him, why he hates her?. She is determined to know the truth behind her sudden marriage. She can't accept the blames kept on her by her own husband. But she didn't know how to get the truth out. Only way is to ask Christian that how he came to know she took money to marry him. She decided to ask him once he is back from wherever he went. 

    And also she wants to know why her parents didn't tell anything about Christy? She can't accept the fact that they deceived her? She thought maybe they too don't know about Christy. She needs to find out the truth first.

    On the other hand, Christian is driving his SUV at full speed on deserted roads of delhi. His thoughts went to evening when he came to know Amelia took money to marry him. 

****Flash back:-

     When they were returning from Church, he was sending mails to aman regarding some office work. Suddenly his eyes went to his sister's bank statement, where a transaction happened for a hefty amount. He knows Juliana wont use that much money for her own but then he thought she may have used it for his marriage arrangements and he called aman to deposit the money back to Juliana account. But Aman said that all the money used for marriage preparations is used from Christian accounts only. Christian told Aman to check to which account the money was transferred from Juliana's account. He just wants to make sure his sister is not in any problem.

    After some time Aman called Christian saying money was transferred to "Amelia Williams" account. By now he came to the conclusion that Amelia agreed to marry him for money. But he doesn't want to jump to conclusions. After rituals were completed, he went to Juliana's room to talk about this but before he knocked on the door he heard her talking on the phone. He thought to talk later and go back, but the words uttered by Juliana stopped him. (Christian doesn't know that Amelia has an old account which will be managed by her father.)

In phone:

"Yes, William's family agreed for this marriage after giving a huge amount of money to them." Juliana said, unaware of Christian listening to her.

    Christian didn't stay there more than a second, he stormed back to his room with uncontrollable anger and broke his phone in anger. He didn't expect Amelia would stoop so low to marry him for money. First he had doubts but after listening to his sister he believed it. He felt betrayed.
