Chapter 11: Dinner

Caroline’s POVThe ride to the Villa was like a journey to hell. I couldn’t stop the loud thumbing of my heart against my rib Cage. Even the AC that was on High Blast did little to the sweat that was coming out of my body. I felt like a lamb that was being taken to the slaughterhouse. I was Helpless, my freewill was sealed by nothing but a contract. I hadn’t bothered to read through the end of the “new” contract, as Xavier called it. Not until after signing, that the new rules and terms started appearing from his mouth like a death sentence. “You must live in the same house with your legally bound husband.”“The legally bound husband must take charge and have the final say on matters pertaining to the wife.”“The legally bound couple must act romantically and intimate when in public so as to look real…”The list goes on and on, an unending list that puts him as the head and me under him.
