Chapter 43
Aries was perfectly fine that he was selling his only daughter to Russia, forcing marriage without telling her anything about it. Not only her father but her uncles, brothers, pretty much her whole family knew about it. Anything for peace, to make them stronger than ever before.
Charlotte -
So far I am having a great time in school. I am passing my classes, which I have to say have been weird. Having selective subjects then the other students. Meaning that I know the basics but more of learning about women's studies, sex ed, learning latin and Russian, and playing the piano along with a violin. My father signed me up for art classes and cooking classes as well.
The whole time I wondered why I had certain classes, so I asked my friends about it and they told me that they would help me figure it out. But they soon stopped helping me with this headache. When I would bring it up they would change the subject, so I asked my family members at school but they blew me off like I was crazy. I can't not shake this feeling that they are hiding something from me.
Other than that I have been looking at certain colleges that I would love to go to.
So far I have 3 that I believe can help me to my fullest potential. Just have to see what dad feels about it.
Changing of the bells I head to my locker when I hear heels from down the hall. I roll my eyes knowing who it is. Natalie Hearst. This bitch. She finds any moment to tear anyone down, she is the rude, shellfish person I have ever met. Even she dresses trashy. She believes that she is better than everyone and it really is irritating. Just hoping that she does not try to stop me in the halls. I am in no mood to talk with her STD ass.
But not so lucky she stops me, tries to talk but gets shut down by one of the teachers. Saying that she is not in dress code or something like that. I move on my way heading home.
When I got home, I did my homework and cooked dinner for my family. Had the table set when my father and brothers came in. I wanted to hear about their day, they told me only a little bit. I told them mine, and I bought up college. I noticed that they all freezed when I bought it. There is something going on and I want to know now.
" I know that I am not 18 yet but I will be. You always wanted me to have a future, so I saw these three colleges that I like but-.
I did not get to finish the speech I had in my head. Because my father spoke saying that I will not be going to college. I asked him why but he gave me a glare to basically shut up.
I took the plates to the kitchen and cleaned up before going to my room. An hour passed when I heard a knock at my door. I said " come in". It was my brother Killian who told me that they wanted to speak downstairs.
I was walking downstairs seeing my family but also seeing others that I have not met. I sat on the ottoman looking at my father wondering what was going on.
My father spoke.
" Charlotte, this is Anton".
" Hello".
" Charlotte you will be leaving tonight with Anton".
"Why"
" Because it was apart of the deal I made".
" What deal"?
In the end Charlotte's father told her everything. The deal he made and that everyone agreed on it. Everyone knew but not her, Charlotte was pissed. All made sense of the certain classes she was taking, she was being taught how to be the perfect wife. Her whole family lied to her, she lost her shit and she flipped resulting in her hitting her and her brothers tearing her down with words.
Charlotte was hurt emotionally and physically. No matter what her family said she was not going through with the plan but Anton grabbed her and put a piece of cloth to her face until she stopped fighting due to the chloroform Anton gave her.
Anton threw Charlotte over his shoulder before leaving the house. Getting into the back and driving off to the airstrip, going to Russia.
Anton -
When I was ordered to bring Charlotte Salvatore over to Russia on the orders from Nikolai of course I obeyed the order. I am second in command.
When I got there and talked with the Salvatore men waiting for her to come down.
I watched the whole thing play out. And she did what I expected, fighting. The slap her father gave her echoed inside the house. It was kind of hard to watch but I was hoping that she would walk nicely but no I had to use chloroform on her to get her in the damn car.
We reached the plane and board strapped her in the seat so she would not move.
The plane took off heading home. I am hoping that she loses her fire attitude because Nikolai will eat her alive. I hope for her sake that she will listen to him. He has no room for disobedience.
Have to wait and see. But I know deep down she will fight.
Soon after Anton took Charlotte her father and her brothers went on with their night like nothing happened.
In the morning news spread to the family that Charlotte was collected by her future husband. And the rest of the family went on with their lives.
°°°°°°°°°°
Back to Anton and Charlotte on the plane. Charlotte woke up weary from the chloroform. She soon realized that she was strapped to a chair and that she was on a plane.
Anton asked her if she wanted any water, Charlotte croaked out a no. She is going to remain stubborn to the end.
Charlotte tried to get out of the restraints but it was no good. Before landing in Russia Anton contacted Nikolai by text about Charlotte. Anton grabbed Charlotte and threw her over his shoulder so they could leave the airstrip and return to Charlotte's new home.
Nikolai -
I got a text from my second in command about my wife. That she was acting like a brat, and she was fighting them. I figured that she would do something like this but I can not have disobedience, not even from my wife.
I sent him a text on what he has to do. I put my phone in my jacket pocket heading to my car so I can see Charlotte in her new room I had made for her until the wedding. Do hope she likes it.
Charlotte -
I was fighting Anton while calling him names, it didn't do any good. Soon the light faded away and I saw the steps turn darker and the smell. I tried to look around but the other guards kept my head down, they were really pissing me off.
Anton suddenly put me down on a bed, which was a cot. I looked around and saw that I was in a fucking cell. Like what the hell!
" This is your room for the time being. Until your wedding of course, then your place will be with Nikolai".
" When will that be?"
" Let's see. When is your birthday? ( checking his phone on the date) about a month, you will be here for a month until someone will collect you for your wedding".
All I can do is stare at him. I can not say anything. Anton leaves, locks the cell door, his footsteps fading away. I sat there for a minute then I broke down crying, crying my eyes out on how my life went. That my whole family lied to me, lost my friends, all for peace at the cost of losing my freedom and happiness.
Nikolai -
While I was in the car I flipped on the cameras inside Charlotte's cell and saw her crying her eyes out.
Nikolai -
Finally it is time to get married. All has been prepared for my wedding, her family has finally made their way here. I have gotten reports on Charlotte, the first beginning weeks she broke out of the cell twice, refused to eat, this girl, I swear.
Once we marry she will be happy.
Walking around OUR house going to OUR room I get myself dressed in my special made suit. My men came into the room and congratulated me. I can not help but smile. I wonder how my Queen is doing?
