My Arranged Bride, Unexpected Love

Chapter 6

"Where are we going?" Astra asked as the woman opened the door of her midnight pink Rolls-Royce Phantom's passenger seat.

Just get in." The woman commanded with her voice as sharp as the edge of a knife and Astra got in the car. The lavender smell of the car filled her nose.

Right in front of her, there was a towel on the dashboard, and without asking any questions Astra used it to cover up her boobs.

The woman came inside the car and noticed what Astra had done but said nothing and only clenched her fists. Astra wiped the tears that were already dry on her face, thanking her stars that she was finally free from the nightmare she encountered that day.

She cleared her throat, seeking attention, but the woman didn’t even spare her a glance. Her head remained fixed forward, emotionless, with her eyes darting along the road.

Her face fixed forward, Astra seized the opportunity to steal glances at her. “She is a beautiful lady," Astra thought to herself. But why is she reminding me of Knight, their side profiles look the same, like it's Knight who is in the car.

“Can I at least know your name?" Astra asked hesitantly, fiddling with her fingers.

She could feel the woman's intense gaze on her, so she looked back and their eyes met. The woman's gaze on Astra was glacial and a lump formed in her throat as fear gnawed at the edge of her resolve.

“Am Sorry, I didn't mean to get you upset," Astra said, her voice barely above a whisper.

“Nah, this won't do." Astra heard the woman mutter and all of a sudden the woman pulled over to a stop.

“Get out." She said and Astra's eyes widened in shock.

“I said, I am sorry. " Please don't do this to me, I don't even know where we are," Astra said, breaking down into tears as the weight of everything she had been through that day crashed down on her like a ton of bricks.

“Fine, as long as you want to stay here, keep your mouth shut. I don't tolerate questions, any more words from you, I promise, I won't be this lenient." The woman said with a stern voice and Astra could only nod not wanting their eyes to meet again.

After over forty minutes of driving, they finally arrived at the front of a silver-colored gigantic gate. The woman honked and a man in his late twenties came outside.

“Welcome ma." He shouted, before opening the gate with a remote. That was Astra's first time seeing a remote control gate, the only time she got to see them was in movies.

There were a lot of questions in her mind. Why will she have a remote control gate and still have a gateman?

As the woman drove inside, Astra's jaw dropped. She had never imagined a house like this existed. It was made of marble, and the color perfectly complemented the midnight sky, making it look ethereal and otherworldly. The structure gleamed under the moonlight, its grandeur almost overwhelming.

“We are here." The woman said, jolting her out of her reverie.

“Lisa."

Huh?" Astra blurted, turning back at the woman.

“My name is Lisa." The woman said and left the car before Astra could say anything.

“Okay," Astra said to herself and alighted the car.

Astra walked on eggshells as they entered the house, to her expectation the interior of the house was as breathtaking as the exterior and Astra could only gasp upon entry.

Holding the towel firmly to cover her breasts, she let her eyes scan through the whole house before noticing that Lisa was staring at her.

Her body froze on the spot. " Why is she looking at me like that?" She questioned her inner self.

“Maria," Lisa shouted, still staring at Astra.

“Yes, ma." A tiny voice responded, from the left side of the house. Judging from the sounds that came afterwards Astra could tell that the voice was coming from the kitchen.

“Where are you?" Lisa shouted again, this time her voice was deeper than the first.

“I am on my way, ma." The voice replied.

“Heaven won't be able to free you from my wrath when you won't be able to tell me what kept you in for so long," Lisa muttered under her breath.

“Have a seat," Lisa said to Astra, also taking a seat herself.

They had not fully relaxed on the couch when a petite girl with full hair and hazel brown eyes, rushed out from where Astra was supposed as the kitchen.

“What took you so long?" Lisa asked as the girl stood in front of her.

“I was doing the dishes, ma'am." The girl replied with her tiny voice.

“She is Maria, my maid, and toy," Lisa said facing Astra.

Astra could only nod, she didn't even know if she was free to speak yet. “What does she mean by her toy?" She questioned herself.

Her eyes scanned the girl, despite how petite she looked, she was heavily endowed. It was more like the rest of her height was added to her boobs and ass. They looked heavy like they were weighing the poor girl down.

“Since you are already here, take our visitor to the guest room and find her something of mine to wear. She will be spending the night here." Lisa said and stood up to leave.

She later walked to where Maria was, leaning closer, she whispered. " You didn't escape punishment." Maria's cheeks flushed red as she tried to hide her smile.

“Can I talk now?" Astra blurted out ready to face the consequences of her words.

“Yes, you can. I'd love to hear what you have to say." Lisa said coldly. But let me warn you, if you annoy me I will punish you." Her lips curled into a smirk and her gaze on Astra became intense.

Astra gulped hard, unsure of what to do. Her mind told her to heed Lisa's warning but she couldn't just contain her curiosity, it was killing her.

As long as I have a place to lay my head, clothes, and food. “What punishment can be bad?" Astra thought, convincing herself to ask her question.

“How, how do you know, Knight??" Astra asked, trying to maintain a steady voice.

“Ohh, your husband??" scoffed Lisa.

“It's not what you think, we are just on a contract marriage which will expire after three years but I don't think I can wait that long," Astra said, staring at the marble tiles on the floor.

“Well...... The only thing I know about Knight is that......he is a jerk and I am curious about what you would do since your marriage with him is just two months old." Lisa said and Astra's eyes widened.

“How did you know about that?"Astra asked, her eyes tearing deep into Lisa with shock written all over her face.

“Mmmhmm, I followed the news about his company and I saw it when it said he was getting married two months ago. Despite not seeing your pictures, with the way you looked when you guys entered, coupled with the way you dressed, I could tell that you were the mysterious bride ." Lisa said, trying to discern Astra's expression.

“Ohh, okay," Astra said, feeling a bit relieved.

Take her to the guest room, I have somewhere I need to be." Lisa said and walked out the door without sparing Astra a glance.

“Damnnnnnn, she's hot," Lisa muttered entering her car.

“Let me show you to the guest room," Maria said shyly.

“Oh okay," Astra replied, standing up and following Maria from behind.

Getting to the guest room, the interior leaves Astra's mouth open reminding her of how the room she shared with Knight looked.

“It's beautiful." She said, sitting on the fluffy bed that was covered with a huge, thick gray duvet, the color blending with the room painting.

“Yeah, I know. It's mostly used by Damon, he likes stuff like this." Maria said and her cheeks turned red.

“Who is Damon?" Astra asked.

“Madam's junior brother. Well don't worry about him, he is already married and won't come back here again. So you are free to use it. The bathroom is at the end of the hallway, you'd have to take your belongings there and have a good bath, then come back to the room." Maria said, making everything seem easy.

“How can this room not have a bathroom," Astra asked, feeling like something weird was going to happen.

“I know how you feel but trust me you would be fine. Damien is not around, so everything is okay."

Who is Damien?"

Damon's twin brother. They are Madam's younger ones and they are not home, so it's fine."

“Why are they not always home?"

“Well, I am not supposed to tell you this but I will tell you anyway," Maria said giggling. They had a huge fight about who Damon was going to marry so they broke apart. But Damien still comes home while Damon doesn't."

“Oh okay, let me go have my bath, I would love the full gist," Astra said and they both had a good laugh.

Dinner will be ready before you are done. And that reminds me, I left something on fire." Maria said and scurried out of the room.

“She's so dramatic," Astra muttered to herself.

Taking off the towel, she used to cover her breasts, tears flowed from her eyes as the images of what had happened flooded her mind.

“I am done with him." She said, wiping off her tears and taking off the rest of her clothes as she walked to where the mirror was and admired her body.

I know I started it, but I thought he said he liked me even if he tried to deny it. I could tell by the look on his face. How could he? How could he do such a thing to me?

Letting those bastards lay their filthy hands on me. I would never forgive him, instead, I would pay with my last breath every dime he has spent on me rather than share a bed with him again." She said to herself with an unwavering determination surging through her.

Irritated with her look in the mirror and remembering Maria's words about no one being around, she walked to the bathroom naked.

As she was about to enter the bathroom, she saw a shadow on the floor and turned with haste, relief washed over her when she saw that it was Maria who was staring at her.

“She's even hotter with her clothes off," Maria muttered under her breath, as her n*****s hardened against the transparent top and apron she was putting on.

“Is anything wrong?" Astra asked, unsure of why Maria was looking at her.

“No, no," Maria said, it's just that dinner is ready.

“Oh okay, I won't take much time," Astra said, flashing her a cute smile.

I can help you if you wish," Maria said and Astra halted in between her steps. " I mean, you must be very tired from all that happened today judging by the look on your face although I don't know what happened, but......you can tell me while I am helping you, and if you finish fast we'll talk about Damon and Damien.

Without waiting for Astra's response, Maria hurried over to where she stood and pulled her into the bathroom.

“I am doing this because Madam won't be happy if we arrive late for dinner," Maria said and Astra could only nod as she urged her to sit in the bathtub already filled with water.

Astra sighed out of relief as the water calmed her nerves down, she closed her eyes enjoying the warmth of the water and Maria's soft hands on her skin.

Maria took some liquid soap into a soft sponge and started using it to wash Astra's body starting from her neck.

As she went downwards to Astra's boobs, Astra forced her eyes open as she noticed that Maria pinched her n*****s.
