His Substitute Wife

chapter five

We pull up in front of a matte black gate, Robin taps away on the keyboard as I take in my surroundings. Soon, the sound of the gates opening brought me out of my trance. He drives on to the gravel driveway as I look at the forest that we are passing surrounded by. It is a really stunning view to look at.

The car stopped and the door of my backseat got open, Robin held his hand out which I took into mine as he helped me out of the vehicle. I look up to see a 4 floor mansion standing tall in front of me. No, I am not amused because I have seen many mansions before in my life, but truth to be told, it is extraordinary. Robin closed the door behind me and told me to go inside because he will carry my bags inside.

I walk a few steps at the entrance of the house. I look up to see the big black door wide open I walk inside and study the way the house is built and designed. It looks amazing and stunning. My heels made noise on the crystal white floor as I walked further into the house, I looked at the pictures that were hanging on the wall. It was the pictures of the family in each one of them, but none of them looked happy it was like they were forced to do it.

I walk stairs that lead up to my so-called "home" from now on. The door of the house is wide open with a few man standing around the entrance of the house with their arms crossed and staring at me like some kind of unknown creature - weird much

I roam the first floor until I reached the kitchen,"who are you?"I spin around on my heels as I come face to face with a blonde Barbie doll, Excuse me, I am talking to you!" I stare at her unable to utter a single word once she starts walking towards me," Susmita, Dante wife and you are..?"

"Ah! well, I don't expect such a thing to be his wife". she glares at me from top to bottom as her face hold a slight smirk,"what-?" before I could finish she interrupts me, "well, you better get used to seeing my face around.... b***h" she paused and walked towards me, she bent down to my height and whispered in my ears," because sweetheart I am the one who pleasures him at night".

My eyes slightly widen and my mouth drops but before I can acknowledge anything around me, gravity decides to deceive me in front of this Barbie.

I let out a horrendous scream while I fall back first my body collide with the white tiles and I feel the air knocked out of me as my body developed a numbness towards it."Oops, sorry about that, I guess I did not-"

"What is going on here?" A black shadow dominant my fallen figure,

"Hmm, I never thought that you will pick such a thing to be your wife" Barbie laugh as she throws herself onto Dante," go to my room, I will see you in a few minutes" Dante shoves her away from him while his eyes are drowned upon me,"but-" Dante snaps his head towards her "NOW Sophia"..

She huffs and storms away in her stilletos but not before turning back and sending me a dirty glare,"Are you okay?" I focus my attention onto the man in front of me who stands there with one hand in his pants pocket and the others out towards me,"I don't need your concern, thank you.."

Pushing all my weight on to my right side. I grip onto the island while trying to get up as I make my way half way I find myself stumbling back down, "Ouch! Ms Susmita!" Robin drops my bags and run towards me but Dante immediately holds up his hand. Stopping him. "Get back to work, Robin,I will see my wife".

Robin bows his head and turns back, takes my bags and walks away , obeying his boss orders, "You didn't want my help at first..... See where that gets you." He gives me an amusing look but bend down to my height and tuck his hands under me, wait.. what are you - he lifts me up and my hand immediately wrap around his neck, "put me down!" I huff in frustration but he continued to move out of the kitchen, "are you planning on killing me already and dumping me at the back of your house while you will visit me everyday to laugh at my corpse..

We start ascending the staircase while

I question him about my soon to be death,"Nope, even if I was planning your murder I would not

dare to bury your ugly corpse at my backyard, I roll my eyes and purposely add more weight into his hand," keep adding more weight and I wasn't hesitate to drop you". He suddenly stops and glares down at me with his dark brown eyes.

I study his features only to find something off, wait, what is-" I stop myself from saying more when I realize the mark on his neck is nothing but a love bite. "Oh! So I see! You were busy with your girlfriend on our wedding night. Nice one Dante, it just proves how much of an asshole you are".

I grin at the man expecting a reaction but I got none as he started walking

again and soon I find myself standing in front of a closed door and Dante walking down the hall and getting into another room which I presume is his bedroom and where his "blonde" awaits..

I open the door in front of me and I hit with a beautiful sight. The room is a warm colour of white, definitely hand printed by someone who knew what they are doing. The king size bed in the middle of the room, the view from the glass door which opened up to the terrace is absolutely stunning with a scenery of almost the whole city. Everything looks so amusing and expensive, even though I came from a rich family, my sister and I always love the fact about being basic and so that's how we decorated our room, nothing more than an ordinary room..

The bedroom has three doors including the door I came from, the other doors were wide open and it showed a walk in closet and the other was a bathroom. .... I guess , he doesn't want me to ever leave this room...
