Coming home.
Molly stared at Nanny Gladis and the room in confusion, everything wasn't still making sense to her, the more she tries to understand, the more confused she gets.
" I still don't get any of these though! " She said, rolling her eyes. " What do your master really wants from a low being like me? I have nothing to offer, I can't even match his rich suites and all. We don't even belong together. "
Nanny Gladis, paused for a while, giving Molly a deadly glare .
" Sir Nathan, is a man of his word and he never makes mistake. I want you to know your place in this mansion, abide by the rules and watch your blabber mouth which might get you in trouble." She yelled angrily
Her voice made her shiver in fear, she knew her uncle hated her but she can't tell why he would unleash her into the lion's den.
" Why do my parents have to leave me in this wicked world? In the hands of an uncle who despise me so much, he believes that's the only to punish me for the mistake he had with my parents in the past" She cried out, as tears stormed her cheeks.
The sight of tears softened Nanny Gladis heart, she pulled her into a hug.
" Sometimes, things happens in a way we never expect, you don't have to question fate anyway. I believe your union with Sir Nathan is going to be the best in California." She said with so much confidence, with a smile on her face.
Molly stared at Nanny Gladis with her teary eyes, still trying to process her words. Best Union? That can only be a joke.
"It isn't really fair you know. He have a daugther too, he could have just offered her off as a deal. Am I cursed?" She asked, in a trumbling voice.
"No you aren't dear, try looking on the bright side of this, you can make use of this opportunity to grow your legacy. He would never see it coming." She said, hiding a smirk at the Conner of her lips.
" When is Sir Nathan coming home Ma'am? I know he might be a bit disappointed, but I'm in for whatever is going to happen, more ever, I've heard alot of things about him, fron side gossips though."
" What sort of things dear? " She asked curiously.
" I heard he is quite strict and hard, for the bad!" She said whispering the last part.
" Then what about the good side, heard heard his a work god and a demi god too!" She said, as her cheeks flushed red.
Gladis bursted into laughter, she knew she was right, Mr Nathan was really cute and good looking.
" Sir Nathan, is really cute dear. He catches the eyes of lady he comes across with, including me too "
Molly eyes pop out, as she stared at her in shock. The rumors were under true.
" The rumors were really true? Do you think he is going to like me? " She asked curiously.
" Of course, he will. He would be sleeping here to night I guess" Nanny Gladis said, Molly, felt a twist in her tummy like butterflies.
" It's too bad, I have to accept my fate, even if it last for a while." She murmered.
She chuckled; They is enough time for you to adjust your new life darling, because according to Sir Nathan schedule, he shouldn't be back untill a month or so. You are not allowed to leave this mansion without a body guard and you have to take permission from me first!"
She scoffed, flipping her hair back word. There is no difference between she and her uncle. Always capturing her like a prisoner.
" What if he returns? What going to be my fate huh?" Her expression hardened, her voice barely in audible.
" When he arrives, learn to be yourself and oh! Don't show weakness, he hates that. You will survive child. He might be a bit of a monster but you are the precious soul that would make him see the other side of life." She said tracing her finger on Molly's face.
Molly's heart raced in fear, Nanny Gladis words sent shivers down to her spine. She have finally said the word everyone says about Nathan, he was dangerous.

They sat together in Molly's balcony, staring at the stars, as they cracked old jokes together.
" I heard that, our people ceased to become stars after death, how true is that?" She asked curiously staring at the star.
'' That's a myth dear, do you have someone up there who you think might be watching over you?" Nanny Gladis asked.
" No... It was a question." She answered,switching her mood. Followed by a silent in the atmosphere.
" Sir Nathan, returns today!" Gladis announced.
" What!" She yelled in shocked.
" Remember to put up your best behaviour, please don't try to provoke him dear. Always remember this, you're one of his asset and can be discarded anytime he wants."
" He has arrived!" She said pointing at the vehicle, parked at the garage. " You must be ready."
Her legs trembled as she followed Nanny Gladis down the staircase. She knew she wasn't ready but she had no say on anything, she was a mere asset which can be discarded at any slight second.
The sound of doors being shut echoed in the mansion as Nathan Cartar made his way towards the grand foyer.
" Gladis! How do you do? And where is this so called wife of mine?" He bellowed, his voice sounding thunderous as Molly hid at the back on Nanny Gladis.
She came out, innocent, scared and above all composed.
" Sir Nathan, your wife is a magnificent one, I must say. She is well composed, your men made a right choice." Nanny Gladis cooed.
Nathan stared at her in amusement, her appearance seems to be pleasing, but he could tell that she was far from what her looks present to the table.
" Who are you? " He asked, his gaze not leaving her body.
"My....my name is molly" she stuttered, her voice trembling with fear.
" This can't be my wife! She is too weak, send her packing Gladis! " He ordered.
