Sold.
She obediently sat on the couch still looking lost as she stared at her uncle giving him a questioning look. She felt the sweet talks were kind of temporary and she needed to enjoy it while it lasted. He won't quit smiling at her giving her the don't "do anything funny" look as it sent shivers down her spine.
" Molly! " He called out.
" You aren't a kid anymore and I'm sure you understand that whatever decision I take is always for the best, you are also like a child to me and you know I would always mean the best for you! I just want your cooperation and no pleasantries too" He cooed.
It hits her like a huge shock, she still didn't get where her uncle was heading too. She felt like he was about to ask for a favour without asking for it directly. He gave the man on black a sign as he stood up making a way for Molly.
" Can we leave now miss molly? " The man in suit asked getting her really confused.
" Yes of course she can! I mean she now belongs to your master. " He chuckled.
Her uncle was truly getting her married, it wasn't a joke at all. It was happening, he was really selling her off to a stranger.
It sounded weird and funny to her as she followed the guy on suit obediently to his SUV packed in the garage.
" You will be taken to your new home now and make sure you put on your best character. Your husband to be is quit strict and doesn't tolerate a s**t! " He growled loweIy as they walked out of the mansion.
She nodded and followed in silence, She didn't really know where he was taking her to but she knew one thing for sure, it wasn't anywhere close to her home nor would she be seeing her cousins any time soon.
They drove into the city and were welcomed with the sound of other vehicles and a natural glow of the city and the sky still sticking around.
She felt the urge to ask so many questions but their faces were unfriendly so she decided to keep her questions to herself.
After hours of driving, the vehicle stopped infront of an elegant and majestic mansion.
The car halted in front of a man who dressed in a professional outfit, he was indeed charming, he had a brown eyes with a suited chiseled jaw giving him the look of a model.
He approached towards her keeping a straight face on.
" Good Morning Mrs Molly! I am Steven the personal assistant to your husband Mr Nathan Cartar. I'm sure your uncle didn't really give you a full details about this because it actually happened urgently.
Steven kept his voice firm as he listed the rules that must be abided carefully in the home of Nathan Cartar.
" Being the wife of Mr Nathan Cartar, you have to abide by his rules and regulations to live peacefully in his mansion" he said, his eyes being straight as they never left Molly's face. "You are not allowed to call your husband by his name nor any pet name, you are to address him as ''sir". You will have to dress responsibly both publicly and privately. You are not allowed to leave the mansion at any cost not without the consent of your Mr Nathan.. The arrangement is meant to be kept a secret away from the outside world. If you fail to comply with these rules, I'm afraid Mr Nathan would definately get furious and you would face a severe Punishment at that. Do you understand?"
Molly stared at him confusedly and speechlessly, Her gaze being fixed on both Steven and the elegant Mansion in front of her. She didn't really get what he meant by rules but she nodded in agreement, she had to accept this as her new life now, she lived as a prisoner in her uncle's mansion. It was more preferable to stay with her contracted husband than to live with her ruthless uncle.
Steven nodded back in return as he led her through the entrance of her new home. The door was opened by a woman in her late 50's as she welcomed them in with a smile on her face. She introduced herself as Nathan's nanny, Gladis.
She led then into the mansion as their footstep echoed, Molly stared at the exclusive funiture and hallow paintings and designs on the walls.
" Mr Nathan will not be home soon and might delay a bit on his return today, for the meantime you are to stay in your room till your husband's returns. Mrs Gladis would take you to your room right now. " He said giving Mrs Gladis a curt nod.
Steven gave her a final glare before walking out of the mansion.
"Mrs Molly," the woman said, her voice light and tiny as she approached. "I am Gladis, your husband's nanny. Please, follow me, I will show you to your room."
As Molly followed Gladis deeper into the mansion passing through several rooms, she felt a sense of relieve and felt free to finally ask a question.
"Gladis" She said more like a whisper." What is this place? Why did they bring me over to this place? I know no one."
Gladis had an unreadable look as all she could think of was leaving this unknown place immediately.
"This is your new home child and you need to get use to the system here." She said with a smile on her face.
" It all looks like a nightmare to me ma'am! Does it really mean my uncle did sell me to a stranger? " She asked in shock.
" Your Uncle? " Gladis asked with her brow up.
" Yes Ma'am, I wasn't informed about any of these. "
"I don't know what to say child. But the deed has been done already. " She said.
Was she going to spend the rest of her life really living as a contracted wife?
