Chapter 9

I sat on the bed after telling him that men usually come through my father to sleep with me. I know I had to tell him. I wanted him to know that it was my life. It happened, he was not the first to have me.

I wanted him to feel disgusted and leave me the hell alone. I wanted him to feel so much anger that he would dissolve our marriage. I wanted him to stand on that fact and dissolve whatever we had.

He sat there saying nothing, I guess my father never told him that part. Or was it so difficult to absorb and believe?

" What do you have to say to that?" I asked him, I wanted that anger so badly.

" Well, that was your past and your father can not ask you to do that now because you are now with me," he said to me. I was meant to be happy with what he just said but I wasn't happy with it. I wanted him to throw me out of the house and maybe end the marriage. Why would he consider that as something in the past, as something that should be forgotten?

" Is that all you have to say?"I wanted something more from him. I wanted him to be angry, probably to go to my father and query him. I expected more from him.

" Yes, and also, I won't let any stigma around you, you are with me, no man dares me, we are married and we will remain married and make this work" just when I wanted something else. Why wouldn't he just throw me out of his life, that was what I wanted.

The next day, I wanted to go out. I wanted to see my friend, Sara. She must be worried about me because I haven't gone to her house to see her.

I would have called her but I didn't have a smartphone with me. I had to go see her and tell her everything that had been going on with me. I wanted to let her know that I had left my father, but I was in the house of another man altogether.

I quickly took my bath. After I was done, I went to get dressed. My old outfit made me look different. It did not go well with the environment I was in. Nick was rich, and so was his house but my outfit did not go hand in hand with that wealth. I needed nice outfits. Outfits that suit my new profile.

I stepped out of my room. When I got to the sitting room, I didn't see Nick in the sitting room. I went upstairs to his bedroom. I knocked and he opened for me.

" You can come in whenever you want to, and please get in here fully. That would be your guest room, you would be staying here from now" I got into the room, paying attention to what he was saying to me.

" Like, we can start living together, in the same room?" I asked him.

" Yes, Kate" he agreed for me to stay in his room.

I sat on his bed, it brought memories of the last time I was here and we were here together. I was lost in thought before I remembered what brought me to his room.

" I want to visit a friend," I said to him

" You do have a friend?" He asked me, looking at me strangely because I hadn't mentioned anyone.

" Yes, just one, I want to see her, she must be worried about me, and I have to go see you" I explained to him, I also remembered not having a phone to call her too, and had no money on me.

" I did not see any of your friends at our wedding," he said to me, it got me a little upset.

" Did you ask for my permission before going ahead with the wedding?" I asked him, looking a bit upset.

" I'm sorry about that" he apologized to me. " I will take you there," he said to me, I was happy he would be coming along with me to Sara's house. I told him I didn't have a phone, and he quickly offered to get one for me on our way to Sara's house.

I waited for him to get dressed. He did and we left the house.

We were driving and I was looking at how beautiful the city was through the glass window.

We arrived at the phone store. He helped me pick one and he paid for it.

I didn't have anyone's contact on it. He took the phone from me, and just like reading my thoughts, he saved his contacts.

He held my hands and we walked back to the car. He was kind enough to open the car door for me, it made me smile. He laughed at how goofy I was feeling.

We entered the car and it drove away.

We were on the road, in the car for about fifteen minutes before I sighted Sara's house. We drove towards it a little before I asked the driver to stop driving.

I told Nick that it was the house in front of us, and I pointed it to him.

" Do you want to join me?" I asked him if he wanted to join me to go see Sara

" No, you can go see her, call me if you need me," he said to me. I wanted to show him to Sara because I knew she might think I was telling a lie.

I left the car and went to the gate of Sara's. Ringing the bell, I waited for a while.

After a while, the door was opened to me. I smiled at the Nanny who opened the door.

I walked in.

" I will go get her," she said to me.

I sat down. Then I heard a racing sound. She was running to me from the stairs.

Then I heard a loud sound, Sara was on the floor.
