HER INFATUATION

CHAPTER 3

My name is Daisy wright, I am twenty- three year old. I grew up in a house where my parents were immensely in love. Although their marriage was also arranged, but still they fell in love with each other. But I am not that lucky because my to-be-husband has some serious issues with love. That's all I observed about him two days ago in that restaurant.

I have a few skills, psycho-analysis is one of them. Being a socio-phobic creature, I know how to observe people without speaking. And I saw it in Christopher's eyes that he was not a romantic person. Maybe he was hurt by his ex or something!

But all I know right now is that our wedding is in two weeks. Everybody is very excited about this marriage. Mom is doing shopping alone because she knows my distaste for this shopping stuff. My dad was also busy with other arrangements. Even Sammy was also surprised and excited about me marrying Christopher. When I told her that I was arranged to marry Christopher Davis, she literally screamed into my ears and started dancing like a maniac. She thinks I am lucky to marry Christopher Davis.

Huh! I hope she knows what kind of disaster this marriage is going to be!

This evening my to-be—husband surprised me with his visit to my office. He came inside my cabin without knocking and asked me, sorry ordered me to come with him for ring shopping. How romantic!

So now I am here selecting my wedding ring with my to-be-husband who is grunting in the span of every two seconds. He is restless and I sensed his discomfort due to the salesgirl who is trying to catch his attention.

"Ummm... do you like this one" I showed him a princess cut diamond ring.

"Yeah... it's good." He seems disinterested. Although I appreciate his efforts, being an unromantic person he is trying way too much to be a good fiancée.

So we settled for the beautiful princess cut diamond ring. Chris insisted on the bigger diamond but I was persistent. He dropped me at my place and without any words sped away.

The next two weeks went in a blur. And my wedding day came, my parents and Sammy were emotional. I know my life is going to change forever, but to be honest, I was not feeling anything at this moment. My father walked me down the aisle. And when I saw my husband standing at the altar, looking handsome and alluring at the same time. My breathing stopped when I looked into his eyes. His eyes were mostly emotionless but at that moment of time, I saw an emotion. sadness and longing that's what I saw in his eyes.

My father gave my hand to him and said" I hope you keep your promise son, I am giving you my princess"

"don't worry sir. I will take care of her" with that he took my hand and kissed it gently making my stomach flutter. After taking our vows, he kissed my cheeks.

Evening rolled by and now, we are standing at the front of a beautiful mansion. He led me inside and said," it's your home now, your luggage is sent to your room which is next to mine." Then he walked towards the room and opened the door, gestured me to come inside. When I saw the room, it was huge and colored in baby blue color with a princess size bed, a dressing table and a study table were there in the room. There was also a couch at the corner with a tea table and a bean bag beside it. There were two doors. Probably one may lead to the bathroom and other to the wardrobe section.

"you may change to any room you like, I just thought it would be good to give you this room because blue is your favorite color." He said scratching his neck with his one hand.

I didn't know he knows my favorite color. "this is beautiful... thank you" I said.

"Okay then, tomorrow I will ask someone to give you a tour of this mansion." He gave me a small smile. "good night" with this he left leaving me in my new room.

I was exhausted. So I immediately changed into my nightwear and went to bed. The next morning, I got dressed into a pair of jeans and white crop top leaving my long hair hanging behind I made my way towards the kitchen. An old maid approached me. "good morning mam, my name is Mary. sir went to the office early. I am asked to give you a tour. " she gave me a warm smile.

"good morning, and please call me daisy" I smiled back.

She beamed at me "have a seat dear, perhaps you should eat something before we go for a tour" she gave me a plate full of lasagna.

Breakfast was delicious, Mary was an amazing cook. "mam, can you tell me about your food preferences, so I will cook as per your taste." Mary asked.

"Daisy," I said with a raised brow "I am not very choosy, you can cook anything you want" I smiled.

Mary gave me a warm smile, "okay"

I got to know that Mary is very talkative. Throughout the breakfast, she told me about the food my husband likes.

He is quite choosy!

"how long have you been working here ?" I asked Mary.

"I have been working in this house for twenty years now, your husband was seven when I first saw him. He was a very happy child back then" she said. As we talk more about my husband, I sensed that Mary loves him as her own. She told me about his childhood mischievous habits and I laughed with her. Talking to Mary was like gossiping with my mom, so I am feeling very comfortable with her.

"he has been reserved since I met him, I can't believe he can be mischievous, " I said hesitatingly 

"oh dear, he was like this since his first wife died," Mary said

First wife?
