Shattered Hope

Confused

She is staring at him in the eye and he is smirking while holding the contact. She's confused and this man doesn't do anything other than smirk. Huhh! When he saw her frowning, it made him smile but he masked it fast. Still, she saw the ghost smile, ignoring it she asked him again Why he wanted to marry her, and this time she was running out of patience.

But he didn't give any answers to her, he just left her alone. After some time, an elderly woman came she introduced herself as Elisabeth, the head housekeeper of this house and Mr. Knight ordered her to shift me to my room where I'll be staying till the marriage. I lost my mind by hearing that, how anybody can marry a total stranger I was lost in my thoughts when I heard a throat-clearing sound she told me to follow her and I did cause there was no use refusing her she is not the boss and by judging from her body language, she is also afraid from Mr. Knight AKA Mr. JERK, I must say this house AKA mansion is beautiful she leads me through a hallway to stairs we took some left and right then there is the different from the previous one to which am not complaining dropping me to my room she left to do her work not before telling me that dinner is at 8 sharp and also Mr. knight don't like to wait blah blah... sigh I sat on the bed I have to think a way out from that crazy fucker I can't spent my life someone like him or anyone I care off clam down Ritika you have to think these people are not some random people by looking on all those men in the hallway with guns and different kind of weapons these people are surely in some king of gang or mafia for sure and by the heavy accent of Elisabeth I can say these people are Italian and she was saying Mr. knight to that jerk.... Oh, MY GOD! He is the Lucian Knight, the Italian mafia don, and to be precise, his mafia is on top or I can say he is the king of all those mafia. Ahannn, now it gets interesting the Mafia king himself wants to marry me, but the question is why, to which he didn't answer but this kind of life, I will definitely love. Time flew by and it was dinner time. I went to the washroom to freshen up and there is a walk-in closet all filled with my size clothes I roamed around just trying to find the perfect dress for this dinner as it'll be my introduction dinner, I wanted to make an impression that no one walks over me, so what they are in mafia they don't know who am I or what am capable off and I found the perfect dress it's a black bodycon off-shoulder dress just below my knees with a slit on my right thigh, I quickly changed into it at it hugged my curves perfectly I did a little bit of nude makeup with blood red lipstick and wore a black pump checking myself in the full-length mirror I walked out of room walk trough the hallway down the stairs following the noises and I reached the dining hall by hearing my heels sound all noises died down and there are lots of people on that 50 person dining table on the head table he is sitting directly looking at me from head to toe and with him all others as well looking at me their stares didn't bother me being used to it, you know ladies what they say wear your confidence as the best accessory of yours huh, so I went and sit on the opposit end of the table gracefully swaying my hips just in front of him looking him in the eye he squinted his eyes on me but it didn't bother me a bit I was getting comfortable in my seat when maids started serving everyone it was pin drop silent I asked a maid for some wine she brought it and I started drinking and looking everybody no one uttered a word and then a maid serve me some beef and I told her that am vegetarien arrange anything in which there is no meat or eggs and if it ll be Indian that will be very good by hearing my voice she scurried away sigh I wasn't that bad but what can I say I have an effect on people they got scarred of me. And then I heard someone say I already liked her and she would fit in this lifestyle very well. Hmmm interesting, I looked at the person who was talking to Mr. Jerk with a smile on his face I studied him, He had broad shoulders, and a sculpted face with some marks, in short, he was handsome but not like Mr. Jerk then I heard the growling sound like the previous one but it didn't bother me I was amused by his jealousy but I didn't look at him Just to make him angrier I started to study all of them while drinking my wine but didn't look at him at once.
