The place was so big, I had not been to a place like this before, they were like those houses I see in magazines, massive and beautiful, it was like I was in a dreamland but this was so real.
I was behind Nick, and he led the way for me. When we got to his house, the guards opened the car door and we both got down from the car. The guards left as we stepped into the building leaving just me and Nick alone.
We walked into the massive parlor, the walls, the lighting, I swallowed in, I thought that Sara's house was big, but this was way bigger and even more beautiful.
The chairs, the beautiful magnificent curtains that hung on the walls, the lighting, everything about the house screamed wealth.
The anger in me returned when Nick turned to face me.
" Admire all you want, but this is where you will be staying from now on," he said with a smirk.
I looked around, it was so big. I hated the fact that I was going to be living in this beautiful house with such a man. It should have been with a man I love, someone who cherishes me and would care for me.
Someone who would look at me and give me those smiles that would send shivers to my heart, with me wanting his touch and love, wanting more of him.
" Good day Sir" I heard a voice that brought me to reality. A lady who wore a light blue gown, down to her knee. She looked aged, she looked at me and gave a small smile, I was too angry to smile back so she put back her smile inside of her.
So bad of me, but I was too angry to even care or check my level of disrespect.
" Yeah, this is Kate," he said to the woman.
How did he know my name? Maybe my father must have told him.
" She will be staying here, we will be getting married," he said to her.
I swallowed at the mention of marriage, I had no place or decision-making in this, I just had to obey a father who was greedy to sell off his daughter.
I followed him up the stairs. We walked to a hallway, several rooms were there. He opened one of the doors. It was a neatly arranged room. I walked inside. He stood by the door, looking at me, his ocean-blue eyes piercing through my soul, I wished he just turned away, his hair neatly taken care of. His lips were a little pinkish, his lips to be precise. He looked handsome, yet with a cruel heart.
" This is your room" he finally had something to say.
I saw how the room was, it was better than my room at my father's house, yeah, way better.
" Settle in, Kate"
" I will, I do not have a choice In all of these, what kind of a man are you? You came to my house and took me here, to marry me, you don't care if I want this or not, it does not matter to you if I gave my consent for this or not"
" yes, I have a very important duty for you being my wife, and it was the only option I could come up with"
" How did you find my father, how did you in this world come across my father"
" Look, can we at least do this later?"
I detest the superiority that he was using on me, if only I could change all of these if only I could go back home. Maybe living with my father was better or staying here would turn out great, I can not tell.
I sat on the bed, exhausted, I breathed in and out. He was still standing by the door, I looked at him, with my eyes, telling him to go away already, he did not even attempt to make a move to go away, he kept standing there, standing still.
" Do you want anything?" I asked him, he shook his head in the negative, still in the position he was. Why can he not go away? It was annoying seeing him at the door, looking at me like that.
" I want to be left alone, I do not think I will be needing you for anything at this moment," I said to him, hoping he would go away this time.
He stared deep at me, I refused to keep eye contact with him, it made me uncomfortable, so I looked away. At last, he left the room. I sighed in relief. What a man, how was I going to cope with him?
I began to unpack my belongings from the bag. I sat down after I was done. The room had a floral scent, it was refreshing, and the bed was a big one, twice the size of the one in my father's house.
I began to think of the possible reasons why Nick Grey would stoop so low to marry me, a man of such high social class. I had nothing to offer him, why would he think I am an important option for him, I wondered but found nothing. There was no reason why he would want to marry someone like me.
I heard a knock on the door, I raised my brows, why was he back, did I not ask him to leave me alone for a while? I do not want to be disturbed.
I walked to the door, opening the door, I saw a maid standing by the door. I calmed down.
" Yes?" I said to her, rather harshly. I was in no good mood at the moment.
" Dinner is ready ma'am, you have to come downstairs with me," she said to me. I told her I would be joining her in a few minutes.
She left, and I fell on the bed wondering what life with Nick Grey would look like.
