“ you can pay me in another way that is not money amor” he said as he removed his shirt and walked slowly to her.
She started shaking but not in fear. She was feeling something she has never felt before. He was right there in front of her. Looking so hot with his bare chest and tattooed hands.
“ whaaattt arrree yoooouuu doiiing” she stammered.
He ignored her and walked very close to her then he bent his head to whisper into her ears.
“ Don't worry amor I will get my payment some other day but it won't be today. Make sure you prepare for it.” then he sent her a wink and went to the bathroom.
Bianca quickly caught her breath. She didn't realize she was breathless a while back.
She sat on the bed not knowing what to do as she waited for Williams to leave the bathroom. When he finally came out of the bathroom, she rushed inside to avoid him. She removed her clothes and took her bath trying to remove the fatigue of the day so she could sleep well. After she was done she left the bathtub and stood in the mirror staring at herself.
She began to wonder why will a handsome man like Williams want her who is plain and not so beautiful as a wife. He is rich and from the way Iris and the rest bow to him she knew he wasn't just an ordinary person. He might be of ba high class. She just doesn't get why he had to pick her. She's sure there are beautiful and attractive ladies around that will be better than her but he still choose her. She needs to find out his reason for picking her.
She turned to leave that's when she noticed her mistake. Because she was in a hurry to avoid Williams she left her towel in the wardrobe. She began to think how she will be able come out of the bathroom? She wasn't ready to show Williams her nakedness he was just a stranger. She sat in the toilet seat for almost thirty minutes still trying to think of a plan to get out of the bathroom. Her body had already dried up already.
Williams noticed Bianca was taking so much time in the bathroom. He began to feel worried.
‘ Hope she hasn't hurt herself in there?’ he thought to himself.
When he saw that she was taking longer to come out, he left his bed then walked to the bathroom door he knocked and called out for her
“ Amor are you okay there? Is anything the matter?”
At first all he could hear was silence which was very unusual. He was about to open the door when Bianca finally spoke out
“ Please don't open the door. I'm fine just in an awkward position right now” he heard her say.
At first he didn't understand.
“ what do you mean by that?” he asked her to get a clearer understanding.
“ I mistakenly left my towel in the wardrobe and right now I can't leave the bathroom.” she said feeling so ashamed.
Bianca waited to hear him tease her or insult her for being clumsy but she heard nothing.
‘ maybe he left because of her stupidity.’ she thought.
He was her only hope of getting out of the bathroom but now he had left her. She began to think again how to get herself out.
She thought she should just swallow everything in her and just run out butt naked and get her towel. Well that's the only way out for her at the moment. She had no other choice but to do it.
As she was about to open the door, she heard a soft knock on the door.
“ open up I got you a towel. Sorry it took me so much time to get it. I didn't know where to find it. ”
Bianca was shocked when he said that. He didn't abandon her but he actually went to get her a towel. She was shocked to even move an inch. It was like she was in a trace.
She collected herself the moment he knocked again.
“ Bianca are you there?”
“ Yes I'm sorry I'm coming” she said to him.
She opened the door a little then stretched out her hand to collect the towel which he handled to her.
When she collected it, she shut the door and quickly wore it. She left the bathroom to see Williams standing waiting for her.
“ Are you okay?” he asked her.
“ Yes I'm fine. Thank you for coming to my aid.” she thanked him.
“ It's fine next time instead of spending all your time in there, let me know. ”
“ I will. Thank you once again.”she thanked him again
“ You have thanked me enough. It's okay already. Hurry up and go and wear something warm so you won't catch cold.” he said then went to lay on the bed. She remained standing staring at him. He raised his head to look at her then he raised a brow up in confusion.
When she noticed he was watching her, she quickly rushed into the bathroom to dress up.
“ so cute”he whispered.
Minutes later, she walked out wearing a new pajamas she bought today. She walked to sleep on the couch when Williams voice stopped her from moving.
“ What do you think your doing amor?” he asked her.
“ going to sleep.” she answered.
“ where do you plan on sleeping if I may ask?”
“ on the couch of course.” she answered.
He let out a sigh then left the bed again. He stood in front of her.
“ you are going to be my wife in just less than three days so it's not a crime or sin to share a bed with me. There is no way I will f*****g allow you to sleep on a f*****g couch. So don't even think of sleeping here and move quietly to the bed or I carry you there myself. The choice is yours princess.” he said to her looking so serious.
She had no other choice but to obey him and walk towards the bed. She went to the opposite side and laid on the bed making sure to leave enough space for Williams. He joined her on the bed and saw there was plenty space in between them. He badly wanted to hold her but he controlled himself. He decided to give her some time first.
She laid silently on the bed thinking about how her life has started to change gradually. She touched her locket that always comforted her. She began to think about her parents. She wondered what Aunt Caroline and her half siblings were doing. Did they even miss her or were they celebrating that she was no longer with them? She really wondered what's going on with them.
She slowly feel asleep hoping for the next day to be nice.
Bianca woke up to someone calling her name. She opened her eyes to see it was Iris.
“ good morning Bianca time to get ready for your wedding.”
Today was indeed the d-day. She was really getting married to Williams.
She turned but didn't find Williams anywhere in the room.
“ Why did Williams go?” she asked her best friend Iris.
“ oh the master went to make sure everything was in order and ready. He never tolerates mistakes. I just hope everything is perfect or else some people are in for some trouble. His temper is terrible” Iris answered her.
But to Bianca these past few days, Williams haven't showed any sign of temper. So she can't understand why they fear him. Although to her he really has a bad mafia vibe.
“ enough about that, let's get the latest bride for today ready because I'm not ready for your husband's temper” Iris said to her smiling making Bianca to blush at the word ‘husband.’
With the help of Iris, she took her bath in a scented water with candle oil lighted everywhere. It was a nice bath. She sat in the room as Iris applied makeup on her face. She wasn't allowed to look at herself in the mirror until Iris was done.
She sat for two hours thirty minutes waiting for Iris to finsh with her makeup and hair.
“ alright I'm done” Iris said with her hands together.
“ wow I can't believe I really did a great work. You look so beautiful Bianca. You can look at yourself now.” Iris said to her.
She turned to look at the mirror and was surprised to see the magic Iris had performed on her face. Her hair was styled in a beautiful way.
She didn't look like the Bianca she was, she was totally a different person. To her, the person in front of her looked so beautiful and confident.
She turned to Iris to thank her.
“ thank you so much Iris. Truth be told I have never felt this beautiful like this before. You really did a superb work. I'm truly grateful.”
“ no problem Bianca. It's actually truly an honour to serve the master's bride. Now let's hurry it will soon be time. Let's get you in your dress.” Iris said to her.
Iris helped her wear the gown and after wearing her silver heel, she was ready. As Iris was busy dressing and making up also as she was Bianca's chief bride maid, Bianca was looking herself in the mirror and she had to admitted that she looked very beautiful and confident. For the first time, she believed she was actually fit to be Williams wife.
When it was almost time, Luke entered the room saying that he was the one taking them to the venue. They all left the room and drove to the wedding hall. She and Iris sat in the car as Iris put a white veil over her head.
When it was time, some officials went to call for her. She left the car and walked to the closed door. She heard music from inside and the doors opened slowly. She felt scared. Her body was trembling inside of her. She felt a tug on her sleeve and she turned to see it was Iris who gave her a sign to move.
She collected herself and slowly began to move. From her veil she was shocked to see the number of people in the hall. They were very large in number. Now she get why the hall was so big.
She continued to walk slowly with Iris behind her back until she reached the altar where the priest and Williams stood. Beside williams, she noticed an unfamiliar handsome man who she didn't know standing close to him.
‘ must be the groom's man’ she thought.
She stood beside Williams who took her hand and stood before the priest.
She didn't believe it was really happy until she heard the priest say.
“ you are all welcome to the holy matrimony of Williams and Bianca.”
