His Substitute Wife

chapter Four

I take out my hotel card from my purse and swipe it in the scanner the door unlocked as I push open the heavy black door. I look around the room to find that the lights are switched on and the bed sheet shows visible signs that he is here. I look around the room but see no sign of 'my husband '. where could he be? the bathroom door is wide open, completely empty, maybe he is busy with "Mysa"..

'Anyway why do I care?'

I go to my suitcase which stood near the bed on the left hand side of it. I gather a set of pajamas and walk into the bathroom remembering earlier event but hold myself back from puking.

After a long hot shower I changed into a comfortable set of pajamas, I stroll out of the bathroom with a towel wrapped around my wet hair but spot HIM sitting on the bed.. Dante

One of his hands running through his hair -pulling on it while he is using his other hand to type aggressively into his phone. He lifts his head up not daring to look at me,"take the bed, I will take the couch".

I was taken aback for a minute, My eyes quickly searched around the room for a sleeper couch or something to sleep on but saw nothing except two single couch..

I ignore him and march to the bed to grab two sets of pillow but immediately stop by a pair of hands,"What do you think you are doing?'' I yank my hands away from his grip and give him a Stern glare,"You can take the bed", I push past him but before I could take another step, I find myself pinned against the wall..

"Can you ever be satisfied with something? when I speak to you nicely, you have a problem and when I get aggressive you also have a issue.so, what do you want, susmita? Should I take you into that bed and have my own ways with you? Is that what you want? will that make you listen?"

'My eyes widen at his choice of words'

I use my strength as I shove his body away from mine,"you better watch your language at me,Dante!I have told you before that I will not tolerate your torment". My breathing came out ragged as I stared at the laughing pig in front of me..

"No one... and I mean no one escapes Dante Romano's torture, Susmita, you better keep that in mind".

He walks to the bed and pulled out the clothes that were folded underneath the pillow,he makes his way towards the bathroom, but not before turning back and giving me the most ugliest glare ever..

I let out a breadth that I could not know I was holding, I won't break down like I said before I won't break. I will show him I am strong enough to face any storm he throws at me. I am ready for this..

I lay down on the floor with a pillow underneath me. I'll defeat you Dante Romano...

***Next Morning**

I woke up to the sun brightly shining on my face I quickly lift my arms up to cover the blinding light. I sit up and my eyes scan the room immediately my eyes land on the bed..

There was no one on it but the bed sheet is scrambled up that mean he did sleep on it. I stand up and cringe at the sound of my bones cracking. I touch my back and a sharp pain shoots up, closing my eyes I hold onto the dresser as I begin feeling a dizzy spell come upon me.

But soon after the dizziness finnally fade away I walk towards the bathroom door and see that it is slightly ajar and again, there is no one in there, where he is?..

I walk to the dresser and pick up my phone to look at the time,it was exactly 7:15 in the morning. So, where would he be so early in the morning?..

I walk towards my suitcase and take out my day clothes I got into the bathroom not forgetting to shut the door and lock it behind me. I turn on the shower as I pull my top up the sharp pain shoots up my back once again and I look into the mirror, horrified to see that I have a nasty looking blue bruised on my back what worst does God have planned for me,if yesterday was not enough..

After a shower, I throw on a simple mustard floral dress paired up with black wedges. These clothes are not my kind of style at all but since my family pride, being married to a billionaire, I have to keep up with their standards.

I walk around the room admiring how beautiful it is but got interrupted by a soft knock at the door...

I walk to it and pull the door open and see Robin - Dante's driver,"hello, Mrs Romano - before he could go on I stop him immediately and tell him to call me Susmita..

He smiles at me once again and then continues."Sir has instructed me to take you to your new home and that you need to pack your belongings so that we can leave..

I give him a confused look,"weren't we supposed to stay here for a week?"

Robin nods his head in agreement,"Yes, Mrs- uhm I mean Susmita, but sir has said that he has some important meeting to attend so,he needs to go back..

I nod at him and tell him to that I will be downstairs in a few minutes, Let me help you with your bags, Susmita ". I smile at his helpfulness but tell him I can do it by myself and he can get the car in the meantime...
