my heart started papiltating so fast. Just to confirm what I just heard "Who are you?" I found myself asking. He took another sip of the wine in his hands. "I'm your husband, now come sit you have some papers to sign that's why I brought you here in the first place! ". He got up and walked into a room. Here i was thinking I was fooling someone, I didn't know I walked into the Lions den. No I can't get married, I have a life that can't walk out of, what happens to my mum? How do I tell my aunt about this? . I need to run away from here. At least I know when I live no one will be able to find me besides they only know me as Rose no one knows Janet Anderson. I thought to myself. Willbert walked out of the room he entered before with a document in his hands, he sat on the sofa opposite to mine "Since you already signed the marriage contract it means we're legally married. I'm sure you must have read the terms and conditions in being my wife. It's just a year before we get divorced, you'd be given a compensation after this trash. There's one more document you've not signed, and that's the prenopetal agreement, I asked my attorney to get it for me, he's supposed to be here but he's stucked at Chicago I'l be the one to give you that document. So here sign this!". He dropped the document on the table with a pen. I looked at the document on the table, heaven knows how I used my last strength to push back the tears that welled up in my eyes. "Is there no way out of this?". I had to ask cause this cannot be happening to me, this is not what I signed up for. "If there was a way I would be the first to leave!" He spoke coldly with a yawn as if bored at my words. "What is he saying" I thought to myself as i picked the document and signed it then gave it back to him. "Now there are rules to this marriage, 1: Don't touch my stuff's, Don't get involved in my life or anything I do, you are to excort me to any event no matter how busy you are, and lastly, Don't fall in love with me. He said with a serious face. Our engagement party is in two weeks this is a credit card to whatever you need, you'll get the necessary information about the event from my mum!". He added as he stretched his hand muscles "Go get changed you can't sleep in that dress your bath and your night wear is ready!". He walked out of the room with the document in his hands. I was speechless at his words indeed I was married. This was it, my Dad sold me out to strangers I knew nothing about. I thought the world had evolved too a position were young adults make their decisions themselves but I guess I was Wrong. I walked into the bathroom and stood in front of the mirror as I studied my face that had suddenly become pale. My makeup was ruined and the mascara used on my eyes washed down leaving a long black ugly line on my face cause of the cry I cried before. My eyes were still red and swollen, I was looking like a monster. How did you get to this Rose" I thought to myself cleaning the tears that fell from my eyes. I quickly took my bath got out of the bathtub, tied a white towel and walked out of the bathroom to the next room which I assumed was the closet. I was stunned when got in. Willbert's closet alone was bigger than my apartment in Atlanta and all the clothes were neatly arranged in sections. I walked around looking at the jewelry section that was filled with so many diamond and gold wrist watches, necklace and bracelet all of which believe are all customized. He's shirts were arranged according to their colours and his trousers too. His closet was like a standard boutique. In the midst of all the clothes stood a beautiful pink night gown that caught my eyes, maybe that's what he was talking about, I picked it up, wore it then went to bed. I woke up the next morning basically cause of the bright light on my face, "Ah it hurts!". I opened my eyes to see the butler and three other maids standing beside my bed. "I can see you're awake, good morning madame?" He bowed at me. "Breakfast is ready madame!" He said "Lily here would be your personal maid, if you need anything don't hesitate just ask. I'm leonard the butler!" He bowed again. I nodded at his words and got off the bed wearing my pink fluffy slippers. Very well then!" Leonard started changing the bed sheets. I walked into the bathroom to see a warm water already prepared in the bath tub for me, I quickly got in to relax my muscles for sometime, closing my eyes and forgetting reality for some seconds until I felt a hand on my hair. I got up to see Lily with a conditioner in her hands. "What are you doing?" I asked her confused. "it's my duty to help you take your bath and get dressed ma'am. So let me help you!" She smiled "You don't have to do this, I'll wash my hair myself!" I said with a smile. This was becoming so uncomfortable for mel don't know how they do things around here but I started washing my hair sinceI was 14 and it was nothing new to me. "Are you sure ma'am?" She asked and I nodded in agreement, Lily walked out of the bathroom. I was anxious cause I was going to meet the entire black family this morning preparing myself ahead of the unnecessary insult that would be thrown at me. I got out of the bathroom wearing a pink robe and walked into the closet to see five maids standing in there holding five beautiful dresses. I was stunned by this beautiful clothes Good morning madame!" They all sang at once bowing their heads. "Good morning!"I replied. "This are the clothes you have to wear for breakfast this morning, please ma'am pick anyone you like!" A black haired maid spoke. I picked a mini blue flower dress, not so loosed, not so tight just the perfect size. I was led to sit in front of a dressing mirror and a maid curled my long black hair making it bouncy, applying light makeup on my face. I wore my heels and was finally ready to go for breakfast. I took a deep breath before leaving the room. I didn't just understand why one had to doll themselves up for breakfast. "Have you seen the new madame, she's so beautiful, I heard whispers of gossiping maids as I walked down the grand stairs. "Does that mean master Willbert's has left Miss Elena?" Another maid asked. "Uhh. she was so beautiful and classy, I bet this new madame is another gold digger. Another maid said.
