Chapter 13

Austin's POV Lately I have been feeling guilty. I know what I am doing is wrong, but ever since I first saw her I knew I had to have her. She is gorgeous and talented. She would be the perfect wife. My cousin did not deserve her. I sigh as I look through my phone at the secret pictures of Analisa. I take pictures of her when no one is looking. I really wish she would love me like I love her, but I can see the repulsion in her eyes. It is very upsetting, but can I really expect her to change her feelings so quickly? She was with my nerdy ass cousin for awhile and if she could change her feelings then that would mean she did not really love him at all. What she said has me thinking, Do I really want a wife who does not love me? But I am sure I can get her to love me. I am related to the guys she loves and I know him really well, so I could be like him if I wanted to, minus the nerd part. I f*****g hate school. I know getting married while in high school is not really practical, but I want to make sure she can not marry anyone else, even if that means I have to get married at 18. I remember Declan saying they were going to get married once her contracts ended at 21, but then I got this marriage agreement finalized before that could happen. My parents are more prominent than my aunt and uncle. I deserve the best because, even if he is older than me, I have been in his shadow for far too long and we are not siblings. My parents praised him for his academic achievements, his high-end modeling contracts, his tech job, his perfect and gorgeous girlfriend. He can have his achievements, his modeling and his nerdy job while I keep his perfect girlfriend for myself. He doesn't have time for her with his busy schedule, and she is busy as well. It is best for me to be with her. I am still young and only have college to worry about at the moment. I tried modeling and acting but that was boring and messed with my football practices. I only play football for my parents to see I am not totally worthless. It does have another positive, and that is, we can get girls whenever we want. Analisa was right that I let it get to my head. I did lose my virginity to make me more popular. Having more popularity allowed me to learn to speak with girls, which I really needed, because I was a stuttering i***t around the love of my life. I could barely speak to her and it was embarrassing, not to mention the constant blushing, but now that I have more experience, I am capable of speaking to her without feeling inadequate. However, I embarrassed myself by sleeping with the girls that I did, but they were the hottest at the time and had the most experience. They definitely weren't really of high quality, just high quantity. What can I say other than beggars cannot be choosers. My only regret is not having used protection with them due to my inexperience and maybe not showering after being with them. I thought the smell was normal until Analisa brought it up. I just wanted to be around her and thought she would mistake it for me being sweaty from football or exercise. I mistook her relationship with Declan as innocent. I never thought they went any further than kissing. I did see them acting romantic together a few times and there were times she would straddle him or lay directly on top of him while kissing, but that was it. I know I was not always present when they were together, but for the most part I made sure to be there. I had to disrupt them to prevent anything from happening whenever I could. I stayed over at my cousin's house just to have a reason to tag along and block his every move with her. I remember when I first saw her. It was at my cousin's 10th birthday party. She came in wearing a white dress, looking like an angel. I know that I was extremely young, being only 8 at the time and I should not have had that mentality, but she was so beautiful. She is only a couple years older than me, so it is normal for me to like her. Her aura is elegant yet demanding. I want to give her the world but she is refusing to let me. I feel devastated that she rejects me but so happy that she is going to marry me. Our kids will be breath-taking and intelligent, plus they will have powerful backgrounds because we are both extremely wealthy. My father is the state senator, so they will also have that going for them. My cousin's parents are CEOs of multiple hotel chains as well as a few restaurants, nothing super grand. They make good money, but not more than my parents. They also do not hold as much power as my family. So why should Declan have the right to date such an extraordinary woman? Now to create a plan to make my love fall in love with me. I sigh thinking back to when my love pleaded with me to not force her into this marriage. I wonder how seriously I should take her warning. If I am being honest, I want to ignore it because I know this is hard on her. She has always been obedient and never faltered. Why would she start now? Who would even help her? She does not talk to anyone if she does not need to. Now that I think about it, she has not even talked to her sibling in years. Her nanny and old butler passed away years ago. She only has her driver and her assistant. I will have to see about getting them replaced because I do not want her surrounded by men. Analisa's POV I got a call this morning about Austin's movement. He went to a girls' house last night after our meeting. I know he has this weird obsession with me and I know he is going to have a difficult time staying faithful to me. To bad I will not be staying faithful to him. I hate myself for becoming this way. I have never cheated and never planned on it, but this is necessary. Austin needs a harsh reality check. Time for him to open his eyes. He can run to my parents all he wants, but once this marriage is finalized he is totally f****d. My parents will no longer be able to control me because I will be married. My husband is going to be barely legal and he is going to be preoccupied with school. I have already started taking college courses online and, with my intelligent brain, I am advancing nicely. I have started keeping so many secrets that it is mentally draining. I am super surprised that there has not been a scandal revolving around Austin. He is not secretive at all. I think his father has a lot to do with it. Him being the state senator makes him capable of covering up what he does not want the public to see regarding his family. I look at my planner and see only a few weeks are left until the wedding to the new playboy. I smiled to myself as I glanced at a picture of my wedding dress. I was once nice but they killed that part of me with their lack of care. I will show them the monster they created. I made my way to the rink. I walk in and get ready to skate the routine that has been burned into my mind from the practice these last few weeks. I made my way to the ice and heard my coach yelling at her own daughter in Russian. The funny thing is, no one knows that I speak many different languages. My parents have kept this to themselves and forced me to hide it as well. I laugh silently as I hear what she is yelling about. She is being ridiculous. Her daughter got a boyfriend and she does not agree with that. Her daughter is 25 years old, for goodness sake. I guess I understand the coach wants our focus to be solely on our routines in the rink. Figure skating requires a lot of concentration. One wrong move could be fatal. Another thing she always yells is about our diets. After my figure skating session, I made my way to the gym. My trainer is there waiting for me. I hate this guy. He rushes me into position so I can start stretching. He immediately starts yelling at me to hurry up and finish my stretches. Once I am done with that, he pulls me into my hardcore workout. I leave as fast as my aching body will allow me too. He was super hard on me today. I want a shower now and I need it badly. I hurry to my room and go directly to my bathroom to shower. I turn on the cold water to help with my aching muscles. I stand under the stream for a few minutes before washing my body and hair. I finish my shower and step out and dry myself. I wrap the towel around my body and go into my closet. I take a few moments to look through my clothes and decide to wear something I bought that was not from my mother's brand. I know she will freak out because it is not anything she makes for me. I put on black skinny jeans and a dark off the shoulder floral blouse and black ankle boots. I did the bare minimum with my make-up today and a simple high ponytail. The final touch is a pair of black silk gloves. I am keeping it simple today because I have to meet Austin for breakfast at a classy high-end restaurant. I want him to know that I will not be dressing to the nines for him. I made it to the lovely establishment. After being pointed in his direction, I casually walked towards him. He stood up quickly as he saw me so he could greet me. But he manages to bump the table, causing his glass of water to tip over and drench the table cloth. I hide my smirk at his idiocy with a small smile. He was fumbling, trying to get his phone and a small box he had on the table. He ends up knocking over the centerpiece and the rest of the table set up in the process. Wow how embarrassing for him. I grab a napkin covering my gloved hand to wrap my fingers around his biceps and pull him away from the table. I place the napkin down to help the staff with removing the drenched items and then help them reset the table. They all look flustered so I reassure them everything is fine. I take my seat just as they are about to place a new centerpiece. "Wait, please leave the table without it. Thank you". The waiter hands it to another staff member who walks off with the other few who helped. I faced the waiter with a smile. "Can I please get a strawberry mint water and a slice of whole grain toast with a drizzle of honey please." I needed the sugar to start this morning. Austin looked at me in shock. He looks at the menu like he is struggling about what to order. So I ordered for him, "He will take 2 sunny side up eggs, 4 slices of bacon, 2 breakfast sausages and a side of hash browns along with 3 slices of toast. And to drink a glass of orange juice and another water, but this time add cucumber and lemon please. Thank you." The waiter nods his head and walks off to put the order in. Austin has his mouth open and eyes wide while looking at me. "Austin, is there a problem? If you don't close your mouth, a bug might fly in." He snaps his mouth closed. After sitting in silence for what seemed like forever, he finally spoke. "How did you know what to order me? That was not a meal on the menu for a place like this." I laughed. "This place may be classy and high-end, but the chefs here will make what you order. They get paid generously to please the customers." "How do you know? Have you been here before?" I laughed again. "Have you never been to one of your uncles' restaurants before?" He looked shocked. "This is one of my uncles' restaurants?" I nodded at his stupidity. "Yes, it is. I came here a lot with Declan. It is one of my favorite places I thought you knew. I also thought that is why you chose to meet here." Before he could answer, Declan's dad approached us. "Dear, it seems like I have not seen you in forever. I thought you no longer liked my restaurant." I smiled at him. "Mr. Spade. This is my favorite place. I just have not had the time to stop by. I have missed eating here more than anything." "Glad to hear it." He looked at Austin weirdly before turning back to me. "I am sorry I thought you were with Declan." Ishake my head. "Uncle, Declan left to take a vacation and has not returned yet. I, however, am here with her to celebrate our engagement, if you don't mind." "Ah, that's right, sorry to interrupt. I will see you later dear. I will make sure to personally make your breakfast dear. Nephew, I hope you enjoy your meal." He briskly walked away.
