THE OBLIGATIONN

CHAPTER 2- WALK OF SHAME

ALESSIA’S POV

I quickly jump out the bed attempting not to make a sound, because there would be nothing worse than having an awkward morning conversation.

I can’t believe I slept with Liam, on our first night as well, I feel completely and utterly disgusted with myself…how could I let that happen.

…

“Someone slept in really late” I say attempting to make conversation as Liam walks into the kitchen, but when I’m met with complete silence my heart drops slightly.

“Liam are we really not going to talk about last night” I say as he continues to walk around the kitchen avoiding conversation.

“SERIOUSLY! WHAT IS YOUR PROBLEM!” I start to become infuriated with the continuous silence.

“Don’t you think it’s too early to be screaming” Liam says finally turning around to face me.

“Are you just going to stand there and pretend like nothing happened last night” I start to feel irritated by every passing second.

Liam slowly approaches me and stares at me deeply making me feel slightly anxious. “News flash darling last night was nothing but s*x, get over yourself” he says before walking out the kitchen.

Well, that was a great confidence knock.

I don’t know what came over me, but all my emotions start to take over and tears start to furiously fall down my eyes.

…

“Liz, I will be there, I just had to get my purse from upstairs” I say rushing down the stairs. “Babe I know I will be there don’t worry” I quickly cutting the conversation on the phone short with my best friend Elizabeth.

“Mark, I need to go to the mall” I say to the security guard at the door.

“Sorry Mrs Anderson but you can’t go out” Mark says.

“Firstly, my name is Alessia and second what do you mean I can’t go out?” I say raising an eyebrow.

“Mr Anderson said you can’t leave the house” he says.

“Well Mark, Mr Anderson doesn’t dictate when and who I want to go out with, so if you could kindly move out of my way that would be great” I say as I slowly start to become irritated.

As I attempt to push past Mark, Liam suddenly makes an entrance into the room. “You heard the man, you cannot leave this house”.

“Mark I would like to have a word with my wife” Liam says.

“Yes sir” Mark says walking out the room as I continue to murderously stare at Liam.

“What is the meaning of all of this Liam” I say slapping my legs in frustration.

“Why do you always have to be dramatic about everything Alessia” Liam says.

“Dramatic? Are you serious right now! I have kept up with your vile attitude for long enough now” I say trying to compose my emotions.

“My attitude seriously, you have been nothing but a little spoilt brat” Liam says.

“Liam, I don’t have time for your dramatics right now, I just want to go out” I say slowly becoming irritated with the conversation.

“You’re not going anywhere, and from the looks of things you don’t really have a say in all of this, my house, my rules” His words make my blood boil, but I make the conscious to walk out the room.

“Oh, make sure you’re ready by 7, we have a business dinner to attend” He says stopping me in my tracks and walks out the room before I could utter another word.

“I HATE THIS MAN SO MUCH” I say loud enough for him to hear me.

BUSINESS DINNER

“Make sure you’re on your best behaviour tonight, you don’t want to embarrass me do you.” Liam says as we walk into the business dinner holding hands.

“Maybe you should try not being a pig for once” I say displaying a smile on my face trying to keep up the act as I glance around the room full of prestige rich people, when all I want to do is smack my husband across his egotistic face.

“Mr and Mrs Anderson, what a pleasure” Some middled aged man says approaching us.

“The pleasure is all mine” Liam says shaking the man’s hand.

“Pardon my manners, Mr Mathew this is my wife Alessia” Liam introduces us.

“I must say Liam your wife is very beautiful” The man says extending his hand out as he gives a slight kiss on my hand which makes me slightly cringe.

“You know I have an eye for good things Mathew.” “Alessia Mathew here is one of my most trusted investors in the company”.

“Nice to meet, sir” I say politely, but deep down I would rather be anywhere but here.

“Babe, I need to use the restroom” I say before Liam gives me a slight kiss on the cheek.

…

“IS THAT REALLY THE ALESSIA BLANCO!!!” A strange voice says as I walk out the restroom, when I turn around, I stand there in complete shock.
