Shattered dreams

#5-Bi*th

Clara's pov

Signing the papers was one thing, meeting his family was another but marriage in two weeks that's extreme

I tried to protest but he already entered his office

A lot is running through my head again

I am just an un educated run away

He only asked for name

He doesn't know where I am coming from or even why I was where he found me that night or maybe he does

I feel really frustrated because he isn't explaining this things to me

He keeps leaving me to assume

A knock on my door and I knew the lawyer is here cause I have been expecting his arrival ever since we talked

I slowly made my way downstairs and sat with those two

Some papers were handed over to me and after going through them I realized he still stands on the fact that I don't own the child after one year

This is just surrogacy in disguise

I smiled at the papers bitterly as I imagines the type of lifei was about to venture into

Another problem was the fact that I had to make social appearances

I have always been hidden my whole life and making an appearance now seems like torture

His surname rings a bell, Wallerstien

I have heard it somewhere but I don't remember

He already signed

His voice jolted me out of my thoughts

“Are you going to read it for the rest of the day or do you not understand"

I picked up the pen with shaky hands and signed the papers selling out two more years out of my life

I stood up with my eyes filled with tears and headed upstairs

“We are going shopping tomorrow" he said

I didn't reply and ran to my room

Banging the door I slipped down and started crying hoping my parents will just come and take me with them

The next day

We got to the shopping mall in the early afternoon and we were greeted as royalties

Nobody could look into his eyes as everyone we met bowed to him

He asked the attendant to give me the best clothes they had

I kept trying on dresses,shoes,bags and other things till late afternoon

I feel exhausted and I am very hungry but I can't seem to voice out anything as I am scared of complaining and making him angry so I just kept my mouth shut.

Stepping out of the mall with a lot of shopping bags though I am carrying none

I can't believe I bought this much and there is still more to be delivered

He finally spoke those words I have been wanting to hear “let's go and eat"

I smiled a little but not enough for him to notice

Getting to the restaurant, it so big and grand and I am sure it is expensive

We were welcomed and led to the VIP room

We were served different dishes as the chef keeps blabbing about the dishes and where they are from

I am getting so bored and hungry and maybe angry as this was taking longer than I expected

Finally he said we should enjoy our meal

I am trying to eat as patiently as possible but I am so hungry

I ma sure I saw him smirk at me but that wasn't really important

A lady walked up to him and start talking to him

I was trying to ignore them as the lady keeps talking about how long he has been away and God he didn't take her calls

He didn't say anything but just sat there

The lady faced me and said to him

“Is this a new bi*ch"

I gasped but said nothing

He said that's my wife to be and it shocked me and the lady but I think it shocked the lady more

She started stuttering "wh what do you mean by wife, you are getting married?”
