New Life

Martha I signed the contract without reading in details. I only glance through the contract. The money for my parents' treatment was the only thing in my mind. Although He said there will be No s*x, we won't be sharing the same room either. The person that breaches the contract will pay five million dollars. The No s*x part made me happy, I won't breach the contract either. I have made up my mind already that there is nothing that can stop me from getting married to Christian. Not even my parents even though I'm still thinking of how to lie to my parents. This is not why I envisioned for myself but the situation at hand calls for immediate solution. I had no choice My problems are how to live to the standards he wants. I'm not used to the media paparazzi and having security around me always. I have to leave my life to please him. I can't go to my favorite restaurant again, to him it's below his standard. I went to the hospital to see my dad. Thankfully,he is awake. "Hi Dad". "I'm glad you're awake. I thought I won't be able to talk to you again. I miss you." I said, smiling at him. "I miss you too." "It's sad that my wife, your mom, is still in a coma. I hope she wakes up soon." He said, smiling back at me. My Dad and I had a very good chemistry. I feel relaxed whenever I'm around him. His sense of humor is next to none. I really miss him. I'm glad he's awake and getting better. "Martha, I haven't spoken with the doctor about our bill. I'm scared that I won't be able to pay my debt anytime soon. He said, the expression on his face changed from happiness to sadness immediately. He hates debt, loans and spending more than what he can afford. His health and that of his wife matters. If I hadn't agreed to marry Christian he would end up doing one of those things he hates. "Dad,you don't have to worry about that for now, let the doctor treat you and focus on getting back on your feet before thinking of that" I said to him. That's what I could quickly come up with. I spent some hours with him before I left. We talked about a lot of things but I couldn't bring myself to tell him about my engagement with Christian yet. It's not time yet I think. I missed him a lot. "I will be back soon dad. I need to be somewhere" I said, giving him a hug before leaving his room. I hadn't closed the door fully when my phone started ringing, it was from Christian. "Where are you? I need to see you, it's urgent, "he said. "I'm on my way out of the hospital " I replied to him while working towards the reception. "Meet me at the car park outside" He said and hung up. "Hi, what's wrong I said" "My grandfather wants to see us today. I need you to be in your best behavior. I told him we will be there in an hour. " "An hour?" I need to go home and change my dress, that will take me up to fifty minutes." I said. "Don't worry Ihave prepared everything you need. I told my personal shopper to shop for you. I got a Louis Vuitton handbag and shoe, a new gown,your favorite cologne,underwear and everything you need. You should come and change in my house." "Your h… house?" I said struggling to speak. I was surprised. I know I will be moving in soon but I wasn't expecting this. With the little interaction we have, I know him to be an authoritative man. He doesn't fear anyone, I'm curious to know why he fears his grandfather. Maybe there is something else apart from the inheritance. "Yes, we don't have time. If we get there a minute late,he won't give us an audience. And by the way you're not dressing in my room. I have prepared a room" He said, signaling his drive to start the journey. "Okay, that's fine" I said with a sign of relief. "There are some things you need to know about my grandfather. He's going to ask you how we met, how long we have been dating and so many questions. I need you to be at your best, don't be nervous" He said with an apologetic face. "That's a lot." "How do I answer those questions?" I said with a serious face like that of a student. "I don't have answers to those questions now, I will provide the answers on our way back" He said. "We're home" The driver said. "We will be out in thirty minutes" He said with authority. The journey home took ten minutes, I figured out the journey back won't be more than that too. We will have ten minutes to spare when we get there I was amazed by how big the house is. On getting out of the car I noticed about five securities on Parade, another five on standby. Everywhere is heavily guarded. His car garage was filled with fleets of luxury cars neatly parked,from Lamborghini to Ferrari, and Benz. He has a swimming pool with lounge chairs and umbrellas suitable for a gathering. The door required a fingerprint for access. Some maids were waiting for us when we entered. "Welcome sir" They said in unison bowing their heads. "Ella, take her to the room you prepared he said" "Remember you have thirty minutes to change your dress" He whispered to my ear. The interior of the building is the most beautiful interior I have ever seen. He had different beautiful artworks on the wall. I couldn't concentrate on every other thing apart from the artworks,it grabbed my attention. I have always wanted to go to art exhibitions. Looks like I'm in one here. "Kindly follow me ma" Ella said. She took me to the room, I was stunned. The room was almost half of our two bedroom flats "Thank you. I said" "I will be in the waiting room ma" She said exiting the room. The waiting room is outside my room. Christian's personal shopper outdid herself. She got more things than I needed. Three gown, two handbags, five shoes, my favorite cologne and another one. A big wardrobe with a mirror to check yourself out is present too. In no time I was done. Christian was waiting for me in the waiting room, he had dismissed the maid. He dressed casually, he wore a blue jean, white tee shirt and a white pair of sneakers while I wore a pink gown. The gown was a bit above my knee. I had a pink bag and a pink hill shoe as well.
