Chapter One; Signing the contract🥀
"Mr.Dante Romano,do you take miss Rebecca Wilson as your lawfully wedded wife?"The Court registrar asked.
"I do,he replied not even sparing me a glance.
"And miss Rebecca Wilson, do you take Mr_"
"I do "
I couldn't stand the mention of his name any longer, just wanted
to finish up with all of this.
After every contract was signed,both families stepped out of the court to bid the new couples farewell _not like we were one_my Mom walked close to me pretending to hug me and whispered in my ear"you better be of good behavior to your husband, you don't want to end up divorced do you?"
She was right, I have nowhere to go to if my husband rejects me.
"I will mother, I replied quietly
And with that,my few luggages were put in the car, I walked straight to the car never turning back, the driver stepped out opened the door and I stepped in, stepping into a new chapter of my life
Mr Dante had few discussion with his parents before stepping in and shutting the door.
The drive to his house was long and quiet, I enjoyed the silence though, I've never mingled with people either,so that can explain my love for silence.
I enjoyed the silence so much that I did not notice when the car came to a halt "when you're done daydreaming meet me outside"
His cold sharp tone disrupted my silence.
I didn't give an answer, just stepped out only to be welcomed with the view of big mansion_did I say big_huge mansion.
My God it was the biggest mansion I've ever seen not like I've been exposed to the outside world though,but the building was huge about times 3 of my house.
A maid stepped out of the house and walked up to me
"you're welcome Mrs Romano please make yourself comfortable I will show you to your room"the name sounded odd
Mrs Romano? nope, this won't do.
"Rebecca is okay please you can call me Rebecca ,Becca for short"
She stared anxiously at Romano who was seriously indulge in a phone call.
I noticed her anxiety
"Just take me to my room, okay?"
"Okay,Mrs Romano"
Seriously, can't she stop calling me that.
The inner part of the house was a whole new story,It was amazingly beautiful
When we stepped in I couldn't believe my eyes, every single thing screamed money, they were of very good quality
from the tiles to the couch, the paintings, the chandeliers, furniture,in fact every single thing.
I was lead to my room by the maid, after successfully walking up the stairs
She opened the door to my room and OMG!
My room was full of beautiful designs just as the sitting room and a queen sized bed.
I felt like sleeping already
"what's the name"I asked turning to the maid.
"Joan Mrs_"
Please stop, I told you, you could call me by my name right?"
"Ma'am I don't think Mr Dante will approve of that"
"okay, I get it, could you at least call me by my name when he's not around, pleaseee"
"okay....."
"Go on"
"Okay,Becca"
"See? wasn't so hard right"
She just smiled.
"Right Mrs Romano _"
"Joan?"
"sorry, Becca, Mr Dante's parents will be coming over for dinner, and you'll have to be present,your dress will be brought up in few minutes, I'll just leave you to refreshen up"
"Alright,byee"
It felt so good, being in the outside world,
not being locked up in a cage called a house.
I took a tour round my room, I got to see the huge closet with lots of clothes my size, which amazed me
Then I walked in to the bathroom, admired it for a while,then took off my clothes.
I turned on the shower and stepped in the tub, the cold water caressed by skin soothingly,oh how I loved this feeling.
First, I picked up the strawberry shampoo, applied it on my hair, and spread it evenly before massaging and washing it out.
After which I used the body wash on my body.
It took a while before I was done.
I stepped out of the bathroom took a towel and wrapped it round my chest, it covered just a little part of my thigh.
Just as I sat in front of the mirror, backing the door,at the opposite side of the room,and was about drying up my hair, I heard the door of my room swung open.
Has to be my dress,I thought
Excited, I jumped up from my sit and ran to the door, only to be met face to face with
DANTE ROMANO, My husband.
