Contract marriage

977 Words
“Mary. . Mary” I heard my stepmom calling my name, followed by a consistent banging on my door. I stood up from my bed, walked majestically to the door and opened it. “Regina, do you want to break the door?”. My stepmother looked at me with disgust expression plastered on her face. “Mr Ronaldo is here to see you, get your sorry self to the living room”. She said and walked away with heavy footsteps. Oh how I love pissing off my stepmother, it gives me so much joy. I giggled and went straight to the bathroom to take avshower. I noticed that my dad was visibly unhappy with me the moment I stepped into the living room. My stepmom and sister looked angry and Mr Ronaldo just had a straight face. I clearly know the reason for all the attitude I’m getting. I took my time while taking my bathe and they’ve all been waiting for me to come downstairs. They can’t even complain because the future of their precious company is in my hands. I walked majestically and sat opposite my dad. I could see that my stepmom and sister were already red with anger. Mr Ronaldo’s PA placed a document on the table close to me. “Miss Mary, this document here is a contract stating that our marriage is simply based on business and we would get divorced immediately after you’ve given me two children and in return, I will help get your father’s company to its former glory, sign it”. His PA then handed a pen to me to sign the document, I looked to my father’s direction and he was silently urging me to sign the contract.I just hope I’m making the right decision by sacrificing myself to help my father after everything he did to me. At least I would get to leave this hell hole of a house. Only the thought of it made me sign the contract quickly. The PA took the contract and was ready to leave with Mr Ronaldo. “ See you at the registry by 10 am tomorrow morning, I don’t want to wait for you”. He then faced my father “Mr Smith, I will talk to some investors for your sake when I’m back from the marriage registry tomorrow”. “Thank you Mr Ronaldo” my father said with excitement. And with that he left our house. **** The next day, I was married off to Mr Ronaldo. My dad and stepmom were present. After we registered our marriage, my dad told me to go home with Mr Ronaldo In which I refused at first because i had to go home to get my clothes. Mr Ronaldo then told me that there would be no need for that as he would get me new ones.I had no choice but to follow him to his house immediately after we registered our marriage. The ride to Mr Ronaldo’s house was very long and boring. He was on a business call throughout the journey to his house. I didn’t fail to notice how handsome he was and how his grey suit made him look like a Greek god. I couldn’t stop staring at him. ‘How can someone be so handsome and ill mannered at the same time’ I thought to myself. “Is there a problem” Mr Ronaldo asked. I was so lost in thoughts that I didn’t notice that he was done with his calls. “You like what you see?” He asked with a smirk plastered on his face. I was to embarrassed to look at him, he caught me checking him out. I quickly turned my gaze to the window and I didn’t dare look at him until we got to his house. His mansion was so big, I could not believe my eyes. There was a huge fountain casually sitting in front of the building with colorful flowers planted around it. Some ladies dressed in maid attires standing at the entrance of the mansion greeted us by bowing but Mr Ronaldo ignored them and went straight into the mansion, I waved at them and followed him in. I couldn’t stop myself from looking around the mansion and of course touching a few decor. The mansion was so beautiful. “The maids would show you to you room, rest for now, I’ll see you later”. Mr Ronaldo said and walked into a huge door in the living room which I assumed was his study. One of the maids directed me to another huge door and told me it was my room. I went inside and i fell in love with the room immediately. It was so beautiful with a king sized bed. After admiring my new room for a long time, I took a shower and slept on the bed. **** I woke up to a knock on my door and the person let himself in. “Mr Ronaldo, are you not familiar with the word ‘privacy’?”, next time please wait for me to ask you to come in” i complained “This is my house and I’ll do whatever I want, besides I didn’t come here to trade words with you, I came to give you the rules you need to follow as long as you’re in My house”. Mr Ronaldo handed me a file titled ‘RULES MISS MARY HAS TO FOLLOW IN MY HOUSE”. “Are you for real Mr Ronaldo” I asked while waving the file on his face. “Yes, now read it” Immediately I opened the file “ Mr Ronaldo this is ridiculous!!” i shouted as I looked at his face that was rid of emotions.
