Hannah's POV
“Make yourself comfortable.” Roman tells me.
Easier said that done.
I was surprised when Roman suddenly drove us to an actual mansion. That explained how he had a million dollars on hand to bid on me. I didn’t know how to feel about being bought at such a high price by this man. Does that mean that he values me that much?
I look at Roman, he’s actually a very handsome man and he’s so calm and well mannered. But he also has this fierce side to him that… I shake my head and dispel my thoughts. I definitely don’t have any interest in him.
“Follow me.” Roman says as he gestures and walks to a room. The mansion looks very big and easy to get lost in.
I follow behind him and we stop in front of a beautiful mahogany door. Roman opens the door and gestures for me to go inside. I comply.
The room is huge, beautiful and magnificent. There was even a huge queen sized bed, I had never had such a big bed before.
“This will be your room from now on. I assure you Hannah that I won’t do anything to make you uncomfortable. Speaking of which I’m sure you’re hungry so I’ll get some nice food for you in a minute.” Roman says.
I’m surprised by all of this but I definitely feel grateful.
“Thank you.” I tell him. Roman leaves me to explore the room.
I check out the room, I’ve never lived in such a big place before. The room had a huge TV, expensive looking pictures and even one of those electrical fireplaces that are designed to look like the real thing. I check out the bathroom and I’m surprised to see a huge bathtub.
Someone knocks on my door.
“Coming!”
I walk towards the door and open it to Roman holding a food tray. He smiles at me. It’s a ‘heart stopper’ smile.
“Can I come in?” He asks.
I couldn’t find my words for a second but finally mumble out something coherent. “Sure.”
He walks in a drops the food down on a table for me. I walk towards him and suddenly feel a sharp pain in my side. It’s from the punches that Dad had given me.
“What’s the problem?” Roman asks, concerned.
“It’s nothing.” I try waving it off. “just a little injuries from before.”
“Did your Dad do that?” Roman asks quietly. I don’t answer and I think that’s all the answer he needs.
Roman walks forward and pulls up my shirt before I can react. He sees the bruising on my side and clenches his fist in anger.
“Wait here, I’ll get this fixed.” Roman says. He leaves me in the room.
I sit on the bed, surprised by Roman’s reaction. Before long, Roman returns with a first aid box kit in hand.
He drops it and looks at me.
“Take off your shirt.” Roman says with a straight face.
I blush. “What?”
“I can’t treat you if you don’t take off the shirt.” Roman replies.
“Oh, oh okay.”
I pull off the T-shirt I was wearing. I was wearing a bra underneath, the same bra I had been wearing at the auction. Roman had already seen me in it so I didn’t understand why I felt like this now.
Roman kneels in front of me and pulls out somethings to treat my wounds. My mind is hyper focused as I feel him touch my skin. A shiver runs down my spine and I can’t stop blushing. I hope that he couldn’t see me.
Roman finally finishes and stands up.
“T-Thank you.” I tell him while looking at the floor. “You can go now.”
“Okay, call me if you need anything. I’ll see you tomorrow Hannah, goodnight.” Roman leaves the room and closes the door.
I finally calm down and eat. The food is delicious.
After that I take a shower. In the shower I cry.
From there I go straight to sleep.
After a good night’s rest I finally wake up. At first I’m disoriented because of the strange environment but I quickly get my bearings.
I clean up for the morning and go sit on my bed, waiting.
After a few minutes with no one coming, I got bored and decided to explore the mansion. I open the door and walk into a wall of flesh.
“Oh, sorry.” It’s Roman’s voice. I look up and actually see how tall he is for the first time.
“Good morning, I see you were going exploring. I planned to show you around today anyway. I’ll introduce you to the staff first so you can get anything you want from them.” Roman says.
“Oh okay. Good morning.” I manage to say awkwardly.
Roman takes me on a tour of the house and introduce me to various staff members.
We walk around and make small talk for awhile. The tour finally ends and Roman faces me.
“Hannah, we’ll be get married tonight so I need you to get prepared for it. I think it’s best we get married as quickly as possible to avoid any complications. The wedding will happen this evening in the garden, I just have to invite an officiant over to officiate the wedding.” Roman says.
I still found it hard to believe that we were actually getting married and I had agreed to it. I felt nervous and anxious about it.
“Alright.” I say.
“That’s good. I’ll send Zamuel, my personal bodyguard, over to drop off a wedding dress later. I’ll tell the maids to send food back to your room so you can go back there now.” Roman says. We both hear the door bell ring.
“I guess that’s for me. Bye Hannah, see you tonight.” With that Roman left.
I walk back to my room. In there I am left with my thoughts. I have to remind myself about why I’m doing this in the first place. Thanks to Roman I’ll be able to get my sister back and he had promised me to help with my Dad. I would definitely get revenge for all the injustice that he had done to me and especially Lorraine.
I will get my revenge, it’s just a matter of time.
