Fated to the Billionaire

Chapter Five

Natalie came outside the room and sat outside the room by the door in confusion, as many thoughts filtered through her head.

“Why would he have to humiliate me in this manner?” “I never asked to be married to him.” She asked no one in particular choking on her tear

The more she thought the more she hated the idea of marrying him. She should have known by now that old habits die hard. He should have acted nice at least. She thought to herself sobbing some more.

Then she had a flashback on the conversation she had with Lisa before the wedding

“Lisa I spoke with mom, and she said I am getting married to Tobi Marcel.” She had told Lisa

“Which Tobi Marcel?” Lisa asked surprised

“The same one you know.” She answered

“Wow!” Lisa said in shock

“My exact thoughts, but the whole thing is getting me more drained.” She had expressed in worry

“Last I remember you always had feelings for Tobi somehow.” Lisa stated

“Kinda!” She shrugged. “But getting married to him is a no, I really don't know what he thinks of this arrangement.” She said worried

“Maybe he just might be open to it. Who knows?” Lisa shrugged

“I feel if he is, he would have come clean to me not through dad.” she said

“That's true.” Lisa replied

“In as much as I love Tobi, and would love to marry him, I want this to come from a place of love from his end, not an arranged marriage.” she told Lisa

“Natalie, I would only wish you good luck, because there is clearly nothing that you can do in this case, maybe it is fate.” Lisa had said

“Fate!” She said in the present “I seem to have bad luck.”

Many thoughts kept walking in and out of her head till sleep snatched her away.

“So much for being married.” He said in rage pacing around his room. “What does Natalie want in my room?” He asked no one in particular. “My father threatening to withdraw my privilege as heir because of her is enough damage.” He screamed in his head

“I have made it clear through actions that I don't like her yet she is still forcing herself into my life.” He thought angrily to himself

“What's worse? I caught myself finding her looking attractive today, of all days but she would never be as attractive as Kelly. Never! it would never work.” He continued with his thoughts

“I vow to make this marriage uncomfortable for her till she leaves herself, she doesn't belong here and never will.” He gave a wicked grin

“I am for Kelly and we will be together soon.” He said aloud and went to freshen up

*********

Natalie was awoken by the refraction of light from the window through the drapes. At that moment she saw Tobi all dressed strolling out of his room.

He totally ignored her and went to the dining area for his breakfast.

Natalie was stunned at his attitude, he was behaving as if she was totally invincible, and the humiliation meted out on her even in the presence of the domestic staff who casted pitiful stares at her there and then. She regretted marrying him, and bending to her fathers will. For every bride marriage was supposed to be a happily ever after kind of thing but hers started on a very miserable footing.

She thought in melancholy to herself

with streams of tears streaming down her eyes

“would he ever love me?",

" Is this going to be my fate forever?”

" How can I cope with this marriage?"

This and many other thoughts floated through her head stirring an anger in her.

She marched to him in anger boiling from her depth. Anger which propelled her legs to speed and gave her boldness

“Tobi what was that that you pulled up last night.” Natalie asked with rage

Tobi, who didn't expect what was coming, looked at her tongue tied and shocked.

“I won't have you dare disregard or disrespect me ever again because…….” She was saying when she was interrupted by a buzz

Tobi kept looking blankly at her while she was talking wondering where she got the balls to challenge him, when his phone rang interrupting her. They both looked at the phone simultaneously while Tobi picked it up.

“Hello!” “I will be on my way right away.” “Bye!” Tobi said into the phone with a sense of urgency

He stood up immediately and left the house in quick strides, his chauffeur wanted to drive him and he told him to stay back, he was driving at a very high speed and there was a loud crash.
