Chapter 10 Like A Slave
She calmed herself down and walked away without saying a word to him.
She got to the room and Paula was already there waiting for her.
“What’s wrong?” Paula asked when she saw the angry look on her face but smiled to cheer her up.
Paula’s smile calmed her down a bit.
Nothing I can’t handle, Ana smiled at her.
Paula felt she must have had an argument with the young master.
Ana took her bath again and Paula helped her get dressed. “Is this what I am to wear?”
“Yes, the young master picked it himself”
Ana sighed in frustration, he had filled the closet with all of his choice of clothes but yet he still wants to decide what she wears each day? Ana could not believe it.
She sighed again and went to put on the dress. It was a very short skirt with a short sleeve jacket. The skirt was too short that Ana tried to drag it down but all to no avail.
If this is what Silvia always wore then she is very childish. How can anyone wear a skirt this short? They can see her panties if she seats.
She loves short skirts but not the one this short.
Ana stared at herself in the mirror in annoyance. But she sucked it all in and after putting on her shoes and doing a bit of makeup, she went back to the living room and met Fernando in a phone call.
Through what was said she could dictate that he was talking about the arrangement for their fake wedding.
She walked towards him and stood a few feet away.
She saw the way he looked at her from head to toe and nodded in satisfaction.
He stood up and buttoned his suit “Let’s go”
“Okay, but I have something to say to you”
“I am a very busy man, I’m sure you have noticed, I have no time for childish conversation”
Ana clenched her fist “I know, I signed up for this, but can you stop talking to me like I am your slave and also his outfit is too short, I’m not used to dresses this short. So please allow me to pick what I want to wear from the closet you already provided” Ana said calmly to reason with him.
He walked closer to her and locked eyes with her, the look he gave her was a dangerous one.
Ana stood bravely but her heart beat increased. He was so close to her that his breath was fanning her face. His scent smelled heavenly.
“I won’t speak to you like a slave if you listen and do what I say without argument. When I say do something you should do it. And also about the dress” he looked at her dress from head to toe “This is how my fiancee loves to dress majority of the time, she loves things short. I paid you a lot of money to be the fake version of her, to act exactly like her and dress exactly like her and yet you dare to protest” he said with a calm tone but she could hear the thickness in his tone, he was annoyed as usual.
“If you do not want to do things as I have stated it. Then return all the money I gave you and be ready to pay the other penalties for violating our contract”
Ana’s heart skipped, she is already spending the money and even bought a house for her parents so she can’t afford to return the money back. Where was she supposed to get money back and include the penalties?
Ana swallowed “I…..I will follow your instructions”
“I thought as much, it’s not like you can afford to return it and your desperation won’t allow you to” Fernando said coldly, he moved back away from her, gave her a once over look and headed outside.
The tears she held fell down her face. "Of course I can't,” she said to herself.
Ana went to the car where he was waiting for her.
Within 30 minutes, they arrived at a top wedding designer shop for only the elites.
Ana admired the surroundings, she had seen this place only on the tv and the designer was one of the best.
They were taken to a private room where she will try out different wedding gowns.
The staff had greeted her respectfully and referred to her as Madam Silvia. Even the designer acted so familiar with her and she had to play along.
While they were on their way here, he had told her that the designer knew Silvia very well and he let her know some details about their closeness and some things about the designer that Silvia knows.
If he knows all that about the people Silvia was close to, it means their relationship was really tight.
Fernando selected 3 gowns amongst the ones they were shown.
Ana had liked some of them he did not pick. She has seen similar gowns on the internet when they were won by top rich ladies for their weddings, those were the kind of gowns she wanted for her wedding. But instead he picked three short wedding gowns. Silvia sure loves short things.
She wore them and all the while they had to act lovey dovey in front of the designer and their staff that attended to them.
He called her baby so casually like he was used to calling her that and she did the same.
After trying the three gowns he picked the pink one.
Pink? Who wears a pink shirt wedding gown!! Ana screamed in her mind, but she smiled heartedly like she loves his choice for her.
“Great choice” the designer said and she smiled along.
This was not her wedding so she should not really bother herself about what he had decided to pick.
The only thing she liked about coming here was meeting Tina Lee. The celebrity wedding dress designer, that she want to make her wedding gown in the future. If she makes money or meets a rich man in the future she will ask Tina Lee to make her dream wedding gown.
After having tea with Tina Lee, they left with the wedding gown he picked.
“Pink is her choice of a wedding gown?” Ana asked out loud. She did not want to say her thoughts out, but the words just came out.
“It’s one of her dream wedding gowns and color. I had thought it was ridiculous, but now that she is in a condition that she can’t put on the wedding gown, I want you to wear it like it was her wearing it”
Ana looked at him as he spoke to her calmly without a hint of coldness or annoyance. Talking about her made him sound so affectionate, he must have really loved her. Who would have thought a man this cold would love someone like this.
Ana moved her eyes away from his and looked outside. Shopping this wedding gown must have placed him in a good mood, so she decided to use the opportunity to ask him a favor.
“My sister will be discharged the day after the wedding, I mean the fake wedding. I will like to be there for her and help her get home”
Hoping that he will agree, she saw his face change to its usual coldness.
“Do you really want to be there for your sister? Because your parents are there for her already. Or do you want to show them the house you bought for them on that day? Which one?.
Ana was surprised. How did he know about the house she bought?
