Chapter 7
Sam's POV
I went to the dining room. My parents were already there waiting for me and my wife.
They were looking at me with questioning eyes.
I can sense the tension and curiosity in the room.
I sighed.
I never wanted to face this early in the morning. I should better be prepared .
"Good morning mom! Morning Dad!"I greeted them trying to cheer up the heavy environment.
"Morning son. Where is Sandra" my mom asked. "She is still sleeping" I replied.
My dad was still silent.
I tried to avoid their gestures and started my breakfast.
I have just taken a few bites, when my father interrupted me.
"Spill the beans and I wanted the TRUE story now."
Damn!
My father should be in FBI. How come he is a businessman and a successful one at that. It seems that he can literally read through anyone's mind.
But I can't tell him the truth now. Can I?
I have to stick upon the story I had told them earlier. They will roast me and nag me till death if they will get to know about this contact thing.
I took a deep breath to calm down my raging nerves.
"Dad , I already told you everything and it's not like we were in a serious relationship .I had just met her a few months ago and we went for two or three dates. We were thinking about continuing our relationship when that marriage proposal from Mr Liam forte came . I told her everything and she understood .We parted ways on good terms .
But yesterday when I got to know that Eric eloped, I just cannot think about anything else .I asked her if she can marry me and she said yes.That's all" I stated in a single breath.
"Then why we were not knowing anything about this relationship? Why you have not mentioned it when we were talking about your marriage with Eric?" My dad was still having some questions and it was not easy to convince him.
I know that.
"Because I was not serious with Sandra at that time dad It's not like she is my girlfriend or anything that you should be knowing. We were just starting to get to know each other when we have to part our ways."I shrugged.
"If you were not serious with her I don't think you should have married her. This is a decision of your lifetime my son."this time it was my mother who opened her mouth.
"And how does that really matter. I didn't know Eric either but I was ready to marry her. Then what was wrong with marrying Sandra."
"....."
"Look Mom, I don't want any more discussion on this now. I did what I thought was right at that time. What was done has been done We just can't do anything about it now. Can we? We have to think about our future and I think my future lays with Sandra."I tried hard not to raise my voice.
"I think he is right . We cannot do much about it now."my father sighed.
"Ok honey, as you say it. I just hope you are not forcing that poor soul into doing anything that she doesn't want." came my mother's firm voice.
"What !! Do you really think I will force a girl into doing anything mom ? This is disgusting . You know I can and never will force a girl."I was getting irritated now . This discussion is not going anywhere.
"Ok son leave this discussion for now but we want to meet her parents soon."my dad said and I froze.
Shit ! why I hadn't thought of it earlier. Now what . I need to think about something fast. think Sam , think fast.
"I have never thought of that dad .I didn't know anything about her parents. I will ask her and she can call them on dinner maybe someday."I mumbled.I made a mental note to ask Louis to find out about her family background fast.
My father looked at me surprised. "You don't know anything about her, her family background and you married her like that. What were you thinking?"
Now that's it. Enough is enough.
"I was not thinking at all Ok! What do you think I was supposed to think and do at that time? What you were thinking? Do you want everyone present there ,all the media and all the business associate to mock our family. What will happen to our family reputation and our business .I just did what I think was right and I do not regrer it."I was fuming.
With that I left the breakfast and went to my study . I never leave the breakfast like that but it was too much to handle.
I sat on the couch in my study and rubbed my temples.
Why this s**t is happening to me and that too early in the morning.
I can really feel the anger burning in my insides.
This is all because of that Eric
.
I will not leave her.
She has to rot in hell for doing this to me and my family.
But at this point I need to calm myself down
I started taking deep breaths.
Count till ten
One
Two
Three
Four
Five
Six
seven
Eight
Nine
Ten....
Ok fine. I got a bit relaxed. When I got relaxed my brain automatically start functioning properly
I just cannot think anything straight when I am angry.
OK get back to work now
First of all I need to call Louis and ask him to send me two copies of contract and to gather information about her and her family.
So I dialled his number. He picked on third ring."Good morning Mr. Carter." he greeted me in his usual professional voice.
"Louis, Is the contract ready."I get straight to the point.
"Yes Mr. Carter. I have just mailed you the same."I knew he was good at his work.
"Ok Louis I have one more assignment for you. I need you to find everything about Sandra ASAP. I hope you get it. And you know that everything is confidential."I told him in my usual authoritative tone.
"Ok Mr Carter I will get back to you as soon as possible."He said and I cut the call.
Ok so now I think I can get back to some work.
I needed my laptop to check my mails .It was in my room so I went to my room.
I opened the door and the room was empty. I was wondering where is she when I heard the sound of water coming from bathroom.
So finally she wake up.
I searched for my laptop in the room and found it lying on the couch.
I picked it up and was about to leave the room when I heard the click sound of the bathroom door.
I turned around reflexively and there she was.
It was the first time that I was seeing my bride no wife properly
She was really really beautiful.
Her black hair were silky ,shiny and were cascading down her lower back. They were wet and looked messy but still looked beautiful. she was not wearing any makeup, her lips were naturally pink, her face has a natural glow no it was radiating and her eyes..... those deep ocean Blue eyes, one can literally dive and got lost in them.
I had certainly seen a lot of beautiful women but no one comes even nearer to her.
There was certainly something in her face that you just cannot move your eyes off her.
I cannot stop myself from staring at her. She was also staring at me. Our eyes were locked for a moment that seems like an eternity.
And then something changed in her eyes. As if realization hit her and her eyes went wide.
"YOU THIEF!!" She yelled.
What!!!! did she just called me a thief .I am in my house in my room holding my laptop and there she is wearing my t-shirt and calling me a thief!!!
But before I can say anything, she picked a vase from the nightstand and threw it towards me. I dodged it by mere a few centimetres.
What's wrong with her?
She came charging towards me and tried to punch on my face.
What the hell!!
I grabbed her hand. She again tried to punch me with her other hand .I grabbed it also then she bumped her head in my chest
"Aaahhh......" I cannot help but scream. It hurts really bad.
And she had that victorious glint in her eyes.
"YOU CRAZY WOMAN"I yelled.I had totally lost it now.
She again tried to kick me but now I was fast .I not only dodged her kick but also turned her over in a Swift motion so that she is now caged in my arms in a way that she now cannot move
"LEAVE ME!!YOU BLOODY ASSHOLE!! Who are you ? What do you want?"She yelled.
I stilled at my place
What's her problem ? Does she have amnesia? Can't she remember me?
"Don't you remember me . I am your husband. We got married yesterday."I stated her the obvious.
I can feel that she stilled at her place at the same moment and stopped all her struggles.
I freed her immediately.
There was shock written all over her face
She regained her composure after a few minutes but still her face was a bit pale.
"This can't be true. How can I marry someone whom I don't even know?" she said in a low voice.
"You don't believe me?"
Do I need to prove her that we really got married and that I am her husband now.
Anyway I have proof. A lot of them.
I opened my laptop and showed her the current news.
My pic holding her in bridal style and coming out of the church was everywhere.
"See it yourself" I adjusted my laptop so that she can see properly.
She was breathing hard now. And then the words that left her mouth leave me in a daze.
"Let's get divorced then "
Oh nooo!! s**t s**t!!!!
