Chapter Four.
“Come with me”, Lucas said walking down to a room. He opened the door.
The staff bowed as they saw him.
I followed him. I noticed that the room was occupied but neat.
“We will use this room together”, he said as I gasped with shock.
“I thought you would give me my own room”, I voiced out.
“My grandfather has eyes watching and in no time he would realise that we aren't together”,
Although I knew he was telling the truth. I couldn't help but feel uncomfortable.
“Don't worry, I won't touch you and I hope you also don't have any of such intention towards me”,
I nodded.
“perfect”,
“I have cleared out some parts of the wardrobe and cabinet so you can keep your things in there”, he announced.
I began to arrange my stuff while he stood there staring at me.
I was beginning to feel uncomfortable.
“Are these all your stuff?” he asked.
“Yes”,
I knew he was used to quality items but this stuff here were things I don't use to play.
“Don't you think you need a change of clothes”,
My eyes widened in amazement. Is he trying to insult me?
“This is my card, use it to get yourself some new clothes”, he said, pulling out his wallet and removing an unlimited card.
“There won't be any need for that Mr. Lucas”, I responded.
“Take it and use it you can consider it an appreciation from me for helping me today at the court”,
“We still have to discuss the terms of the marriage but I will let you settle in first”,
I collected the card and looked at it. He moved to the door.
“You can ask the driver to take you wherever you want to go…I am off to work”, he said without giving me a chance to speak.
I sighed and relaxed my body on the bed. Looking at the card. I guess it wouldn't be a bad idea to get a few things for myself.
I realised a few bucks to my credit card debt wouldn't be a bad idea.
Finding my way downstairs. I met one of the maids.
“Ma, dinner is set”, she informed me.
“I am Diana..please call me Diana” I said feeling weird being addressed as ma.
“I am sorry, I can't do that young master would be mad at me”,
I proceeded to leave her alone to do as she pleases.
I found my way to the dining table as I salivated seeing the huge bouquet which I had prepared already.
Lucas has gone to work and I wondered when he was going to be back.
Was he always this busy? If he always is. Then I am sure I wasn't going to be seeing him frequently.
I didn't know if I should be happy or sad.
His unlimited credit card is still staring at me in my face.
The meal I ate was the best I have eaten in a long while.
I stood up from the dining area and watched as they cleared the place clean of every single dish that has been lying down here previously.
“I would love to get a few things for myself”, I voiced out.
“Lucas said one of the drivers can take me”, I informed her. She simply nodded.
“Let me tell him to prepare the car”, The maid said bowing before leaving my presence.
The drive to the shopping mall was smooth. I arrived and walked in with full confidence like someone who owns the place.
A place I have always admired from afar stepping inside and knowing that I could practically afford anything I wanted.
Thanks to my husband. Lucas.
I began to make purchases on everything I saw and I love.
For the first time not checking the price tag of anything feels so wonderful.
My phone which was in my bag rang. I picked it up and put it in my ears.
“Hello, Diana”, I quickly recognised the voice. It was David. It still sent shivers down my spine and I couldn't deny it.
“Hello David”, I responded, seeing the tears falling down my eyes again.
All the memories of what happened that day flashing through my head again.
“Why does it say you got married to Lucas Bernard”,
I was disappointed thinking he had called to beg me to accept him back but it dawned on me that the reason he called was because he heard that I got married.
“How do you know?”, I asked, fuming with rage.
“Your pictures and names are scattered all over the news and Internet”, he added.
“How did you meet him”,
I decided to give him a piece of my mind now.
“How is that any of your business”, I answered, allowing my emotion to flow.
“I just want to know”, his voice low.
“It’s no business since you moved on with my friend Ophelia…I decided to move on and got married to him…are you jealous”, I muttered.
“You cheated on me and dumped me so don't you ever call me again”, I yelled.
I had seen the reg flag when I introduced Ophelia to Lucas.
We had been together but my need for companionship made me ignore the signs for goodness sake.
My fist tightened into a fury as I ensured that I passed the message successfully before ending the call and blocking his number this time.
Wondering what I was doing, wasting my time answering his questions.
I hate myself knowing I still have leftover feelings for that bastard who cheated on me
I hated myself for settling for less
I was married to a stranger and I had just the bare minimum interaction with him but he has treated me better than the years I wasted being with David.
I wasn't in the mood for shopping anymore as I found my way out.
The drive to the mansion ended and one of the boys who ran errands helped me with my bags.
I entered my room and found my way to the bathroom to wash myself properly.
