Chapter 10 BOUND TO A MAN I DESPISE
I hear the door shut and I sigh in relief as I stand in the bathroom, fully dressed now. I was still wearing his black shirt, the material drowning me.
What was I thinking? Thankfully he left and won't say anything about earlier.
I walk out of the bathroom, wondering why he left in the first place. Am I really that uninteresting to be around?
Why did I even care anyways?
I couldn't let that kiss that happened earlier to ever happen again. He was trying to trap me into his stupid charms and I had to control myself.
If only I could just stop being so nervous every time he came around. Maybe it was because of seeing him kill someone that made me so nervous, or maybe it was the way he always looked at me that made me feel so hot inside.
I shake my head and angrily take off his shirt in annoyance, putting on my own with shorts under.
"Maniac." I mumble to the shirt as I toss it in laundry bin.
My hair was practically dry at this point and I walk out of the bathroom, going straight towards the bed and flopping down on it.
A sigh leaves my mouth at the comfort of the bed and I close my eyes, finally being able to sleep after the long night.
The next morning was filled with me just going to multiple meetings with the wedding planners. The colors were black and gold and I was given a long list of all the guests invited.
I didn't recognize most of the names on there, but knew they were probably all important people.
The wedding would be on Friday, that's when I had to truly vow to be with Conner forever, for my entire life and I had no choice.
The voice of the woman who was talking about some flower arrangements was drowned out as I played with the hem of my shirt.
I was only 18 why did I have to get married?
All I ever wanted was a normal life.
"Miss black ? Are you there?" I hear as the women's voice gets closer and my head pops up, watching as she looks at me with a worried look.
"Are you okay, miss?" She asks and I feel my cheeks heat up in embarrassment.
"Yes, I'm fine sorry about that." I laugh, dropping my hand from the shirt.
" How about you take a break? It's been a long day."
The woman smiled softly and I nodded my head, saying thank you before walking out of the room with Allison.
"You know, its very kind of your sister to want to know your fiancé better before she hands you off to him." Allison says with a bright smile on her face but I freeze in my steps at the mention of jasmine.
"What do you mean?" I ask, now curious about what she meant.
"She didn't tell you? Miss jasmine was supposedly in Mr. Conner’s office all night, she wasn't seen leaving until very late at night." Allison says looking up at me confused.
I feel the urge to laugh at the words I hear, like I finally understood some sick joke.
" Me and jasmine are not close." I mutter, and watch Allison's face drop as guilt fills her eyes.
"Oh miss, I'm so sorry I didn't think he'd ever, or in fact she'd ever do such a thing.."
"It's okay Allison, I wasn't expecting much anyways. I'm going to the restroom now." I say, a small smile on my face as I turn around and walk away feeling my eyes water.
He didn't have to force me into this if all he would do is sleep with jasmine, everyone knows she's perfect so why did he have to humiliate me?
I feel warm tears fall down my cheeks as I walk into one of the guest restrooms in the hallway, shutting the door and locking it before walking up to the sink and splashing cold water over my face.
Parts of my hair get wet from the water, sticking to my forehead and I look into the mirror, my eyes red from the tears.
I untie my ponytail and let my dark hair fall down my back as I run a hand through it, looking at my ugly T-shirt and jeans, and my plain face.
Sighing I open the door and walk out, going back down the hallway to the bedroom like always. He wouldn't let me go anywhere else anyways, I was trapped.
"Jasmine was quite loud last night with Mr.conner wasn't she?" A maid giggles as she talks with a group of other maids and I quickly stop, hiding behind a wall to hear what they were saying.
"Poor Sophie , he's cheating already and they only just got engaged." Another woman says, but the other women roll their eyes.
"Oh we all knew it would happen anyways, was he insane picking that little girl over jasmine?"
" She's so plain too, I'm sure he just picked her out of pity." Another one snickers and I quickly move my head back, feeling more tears come up in my eyes.
I quickly get off the wall, walking right past them and as I do they get silent except for one woman who gasped, all their heads bowed down.
I look up to see Conner walking the same way as I was, a confused look on his face as he looks at me, hanging up his phone call.
Conner stops in the hallway when I get closer, thinking that I would stop to talk to him. I don't.
I move my eyes away from him as I walk straight past him, not wanting to deal with him or with him questioning my tears.
" Sophie ?" I hear his deep voice say but I ignore it as I keep walking towards the room.
My heart rate increases when I hear his footsteps coming towards me, knowing he'd probably just hit me but I didn't care anymore.
What did I have to lose anyways?
"Cazzo giuro Sophie , don't test me." He says again his voice closer this time, and I'm stopped in my tracks when his rough hand grabs my arm, pulling me back. ("I fucking swear")
"What do you want from me?" I whisper, looking up at him, my eyes still watery.
"What happened? And why are you walking around without your maid?" He asks, looking down at me. I pull my arm off of him, looking away while trying to stop my eyes from producing any more tears.
"Do you think it's funny humiliating me? If you're going to go fuck around at least keep it a secret, you've already ruined my life enough forcing me into this." I choke out, looking up at Conner who had a dark look in his eyes.
"What are you talking about?" He says, searching my eyes and I almost want to laugh at him.
"I hate you." I say, and watched as Conner looked at the maids whispering to each other as they walked past the scene.
He suddenly grabs my waist, pulling me over his shoulder as a shriek leaves my mouth, my legs kicking his back to drop me.
"What are you doing?!" I yell, punching him but he doesn't budge at all as he walks down the hallways.
"Let me go-!" Before I can finish a door opens and he shuts it, throwing me down on a bed, as he hovers over me, his hands trapping me in on both sides and a piece of hair fallen over his head.
" Fanculo, and I thought you'd be easy to control."
He breathes out, as I try pushing out of his grasp but terribly fail.
"You've gotten pretty sassy haven't you, princess ?" Conner smirks but I just turn my head to the side, scoffing.
"What are you trying to do right now?" I ask, looking up at his clean face and defined jawline, his eyes watching me closely.
"What woman was I fucking around with?" He asks and I look at him confused. Didn't he already know the answer to that?
"What do you mean? You should already know that." I scoff, feeling my cheeks heat up at our close distance. If it weren't for our position right now I could've at least looked a little less flustered.
" Answer the fucking question." He says and I glare my eyes at him.
"Get off of me first." I reply, and watch as his jaw clenches. Was he mad that someone like me was telling the big bad wolf what to do?
"Don't test me, princess." He says, looking into my eyes but I don't drop my glare.
"What are you going to do about it? Kill me like you do with anyone else that gets on your nerves? And I'm not your princess." I scowl, trying to push him off but Conner pins me back down, looking down at me with his patience clearly growing thin.
" Kill you?" He laughs and I look up at him with my eyebrows scrunched in confusion.
Why was he laughing?
"You either answer the question, or I fuck you here so hard the entire house hears, princess ."
My eyes widen at his bluntness and I feel myself getting red as I swallow the lump in my throat, looking into his dangerous eyes.
Thoughts that shouldn't be in my head suddenly come out of nowhere and I feel myself getting even more red as I try to avoid his gaze.
"M..my sister...you were with her last night, everyones been gossiping about it." I finally told him, noticing how pathetic I probably sounded.
Conner looks at me for a second and a sigh leaves his mouth shortly after as he pushes off the bed, running a hand through his dark hair.
I quickly sit up from the bed, the sun blinding my eyes as it pokes through the window.
"I didn't do anything with her." He says.
"Then why was she in your office all night?"
" She was pestering me all night, if she wasn't your sister she'd already be dead."
"What's wrong with you?" I say, looking up at his tall figure. He's always trying to kill someone, and it's always with serious intentions.
My eyes widen when I see him walking towards me and I lean back in the bed with my eyes shut tightly when his body comes dangerously close to mine, hovering over me with one hand on the bed.
"It's not like you like them anyways isn't it?
They don't seem to care too much about you with the way you dress compared to the way your sister looks." He says, looking into my eyes which had slowly peeked back open.
I turn my head to the side not wanting to talk about this, my father would kill me if anyone found out about anything.
He suddenly grabs my cheeks, forcing me to face him as he watches me closely.
"Am I right, Sophie ?" He says, even though he knew the answer.
" Let go of me." I whisper, looking up into his eyes.
"Are you sure? You seem to be liking this." He says, looking down at my now red face.
I feel my heart start to beat insanely when his eyes gaze down to my lips but I don't fall for it and quickly push away, walking towards the door.
This wouldn't be easy.
