an arranged marriage to my billionaire husband

CHAPTER 5

The night before, when Serena called Lorenzo disgusting he had stormed out of the room in anger not wanting to speak to her. As she woke up this morning and walked downstairs she found him in the dining reading a newspaper. She quietly walked towards him and sat down beside him letting the air between them settle of a minute before saying anything. She turned to look at him but be gave her no attention.

"Good morning" she said so loud someone at the dining entrance could hear her, she expected a response probably him scolding her for being to loud but he has as silent as an ant, instead he just gave her a nod.

Sensing his anger, she tried to explain herself. "I'm sorry your heart is broken but this isn't my fault" she said, her voice rising. "I was forced to marry you if you hadn't persuaded my parents, you wouldn't be in this situation."

Lorenzo gives her a warning stare cautioning her not to say anything to offend him then he turned to his newspaper and let's out a mocking laughter.

"My heart was already with someone else" she said and dropped hr face in shame "well it doesn't matter any more cause I broke up with him already" she said felling sad as she remembered the sight of Arnold in bed with another woman.

She felt Lorenzo's hand under her chin as he lifted her face, their eyes met and she could read the sadness in then as if he could see her pain and he felt pity for her.

Suddenly that sadness in his face turned into a mocking grin "don't worry my dear, I could be your love therapist as you process this heart breaking experience from the love of your life" he said in a mocking tone.

Feeling disgusted she immediately pulled her face from his hand as her sadness turned to anger. How could he be so insensitive after she had opened up to him about how she was feeling. In anger she got up and stormed into the bedroom,grabbed her luggages and began packing up her belongings, she had made up her mind to return to her parents home or rather sleep on the streets instead of living with a man that would give her such attitude.

Lorenzo on the other hand gave her no face as she stormed out of his presence, she had insulted him to his face by calling him disgusting and had also deprived him of his wedding night pleasure, there was no way he was going to approach her with a gleeful attitude this morning. No woman had ever spoken to him in such a manner let a lone a woman when he had rescued from her suffering he loves her but that didn't give her the right to treat him in such a manner.

He intended to ignore her all day but as he saw her struggling with luggages in both hands towards the door he new he had to do something before things got out of hand. Immediately hd sprang from the chair and rushed towards her.

Serena had just opened the door and was about to step out when he got towards her and slammed the door shut. The wind pushed her back making her steps unbalanced and nearly sending her to the ground, instinctively Lorenzo leaned forward and grabbed her, one hand holding her from the back and his fingers running through her soft blonde silky hair while the other hand glided to one cheek of her buttocks, his hand barely covering a quarter of it; it felt soft like a water balloon, flowing through his fingers. His face rested in hers, lips inches away from hers. They stared into each other's eyes, into each other's soul.

As Serena noticed his hand on her rear side she immediately she pulled herself from his grip and swung her hand at his cheek making a sound that echoed through the dinning.

"How dare you, you truly are disgusting" Serena yelled at him as she held her shoulder griping herself as she sobbed.

Lorenzo dropped his face in shame, anger boiling in his heart but there was nothing he could do. He was upset that she hit him, he was upset that she insulted him but he just couldn't let her go.

"Please don't go" he pleaded with her, his gaze and parade left on the ground.

"No…. No…." She sobbed "I can't stay, I do not love you and you do not care about me either, instead you only lust for me"

Lorenzo drew closer to her his chest pressed against her soft blossom, she pulled back but hee retreat was ended quickly as her back touched the wall, he scanned her from shoulder to shoulder, admiring her soft skin that was exposed through her off shoulder dress.

His eyes moved up to hers "who said I don't love you" he said, his voice softening slowly.

"Serena I love you" h said as he raised his hand and held her cheek but she instantly pulled her face away rejecting his touch.

He immediately sensed that there was no convincing her into loving him as much as he loved her so he pulled away immediately. He retired to his chair at the edge of the living room and stared at her as she sobbed.

"I love you but it seems you do not feel the same way for me so I'll let you go" he said and her face brightened instantly "but in one condition he continued"

"What is it" she asked with a stern look hopping he doesn't request for the impossible.

"I'll be running for parliament in few months, the last thing I want is a scandal such as a divorce, so for the next three months you'll pretend to be my wife , we will put on a beautiful facade for the people and save my reputation, till I think of an excuse to tell people when they asked why my wife left"

"no I don't want to stay with you anymore" Serena said in anger and stomped her feet making her breasts bounce in the top of her dress.

Her aluring nature was one of the things making it hard for Lorenzo to let go of her but he knew he had no choice. He got up and walked towards her, he got so close that they could fuse into one person, once again pressing his chest against her breasts so hard that the my rose in the top of her dress.

"You do realize that you don't have much of a choice right" he said making Serena raise her face up to him in confusion.

He continued "you see, not only did I not request for a dowry on your head I also gave you folks a large sum of money to get their own farm land and covered your siblings tuition till graduation, and laid for your grandpa's treatment I also gave you the most lavishing wedding soni wonder how you intend to pay me back"

Serena shoke in fear as to the amount she just heard, "now I wonder how you intend to pay me back" he said "also I wonder what people would say of a girl who left a man as perfect as Lorenzo Faroe after her first day of marrying him" he finished with a mischievous grin.

In shame Serena pulled away from him and dragged her luggages back to her room.
