Married to the Unpredictable Man

Chapter VI

Amelia's POV

Later that day he arrived just on time for dinner. He didn't say anything and just seat in front of me. Susan made mashed potato and steamed salmon for dinner. As soon as she put down my plate I say a quick 'thank you' and started to dig in. I can feel that he's looking at me, but who cares?

After I finished my dinner I got up and was about to go to my room when he suddenly decided to talk. "I don't want you talking to Rafael that way" he said. I didn't mind that he's talking and just continue to walk out of the kitchen. "Stop right there, I'm talking to you" he added anger visible in his voice and I'm that stubborn to act as if no one was talking

"I said stop right there" he shouted once again. I can imagine him glaring my back "make me" I challenge him as I continue my way out.

I was stopped when I felt him grab my arm tightly. I felt pain as he swung me around to face him "You will not disrespect me in my own house or you and your father will have the biggest fall in your life" he said with gritted teeth. The tears are forming in my eyes. I'm not sure weather its from the pain as he gripped my arm or from what he said.

I nodded as a tear fell from my eyes. I can't no longer contain what I'm feeling as my sob escape continuously. He loosened his grip and didn't say anything. We stayed like that for a minute until he walked passed me and with that I decided to run to my room.

I cried my heart out all night. How can I be so miserable? How can life be so unfair? Why do all this things need to happen to me? I'm scared to be left alone in here. I'm scared to be with a man I didn't know at all.

Those things kept running down my mind until I finally doze of to sleep.

.......

I woke up that morning feeling sick. My head hurt and my body feels so weak. Maybe from the crying. I decided to go out of the bed and have a warm shower to relax a bit. After which I put on my shorts and shirt leaving my hair dampen as I go down. I really felt the need of a hot coffee.

As I entered the kitchen I saw Susan fixing the plates. "Good morning Amelia, what do you want for breakfast?" She said giving me an apologetic smile. I know she heard everything from last night. "Good morning Susan, I just want to have a coffee" I said plopping on the chair. She gave me my coffee and I enjoyed drinking just before Lucas entered the kitchen. He acted like I was not around so I didn't say a word as well.

He just said some things to Susan which I can't hear clearly before Susan looked at me with a worried face. Lucas turned to me with his cold face and I looked down. "Since you got nothing to do and you're staying in my house for FREE at least you need to work for it" he said firmly. "Susan will have his vacation in their province for 2 weeks and since you are here I don't need to get another helper. Start cleaning the whole house" he said before leaving the kitchen. "Except for my room and office". I sighed and got up

"I'll help you clean before I go home" Susan offered. I smiled at her "It's okay Susan, I can handle it. Its good I will have something to do which will make me busy and refrain from thinking. Take care and enjoy your vacation" I said before getting the materials I needed to clean.

This is more like a mansion than a house. I started cleaning upstairs. Making sure all the rooms and bathrooms are cleaned properly. I was currently mopping the floor when I saw the clock. It's 5pm and Susan is not around to cook for dinner. I finished mapping the floor and proceeded to the kitchen. I felt tired and a little dizzy. Maybe because I've been cleaning all day.

I look over the fridge and decided to cook some pasta. We had some seafood and I cook my favorite spicy seafood pesto. After an hour I prepared the plates and just in time he arrived. He looked over the kitchen and saw me looking at him. "Dinner is ready" I said. He came without saying anything and seated in his usual spot.

I immediately go out of the kitchen and continue cleaning one more room and I'm done. I was putting back the materials when I felt my headache becoming less tolerable. Crap, I might just get sick. "You didn't finish cleaning down here" he said. I was too tired to bicker "I finished upstairs, I'll finish downstairs tomorrow" I answered softly. With that he retreated back just before saying "so slow". I didn't say anything.

I got back to my room and had a quick warm shower. I felt cold so I put on my pyjamas and an oversized shirt. I felt my head throbbing and with tiredness I easily fell asleep.

.....

The next day I woke up and felt my headache worsen. This is not good. I have so much to do today. I can't be sick. Not now. I got up to take a quick shower. I go down to prepare some breakfast. I felt my hunger and just then I realized I haven't eat since yesterday. I toast some bread for Lucas and prepared his coffee. Before he got down I started cleaning the leaving room.

Today is sunday so I guess he will be working home. After he had his breakfast he go back to his study room and I was right. By 11 am I was currently cleaning the kitchen when the doorbell rang. I got up to open the door but before I can stand I felt so dizzy and all became black. I didn't know what happened but I felt the cold floor in my back.

Lucas POV

I was currently seated in my room thinking what I was doing and thinking. I wanted her to see me as the worse persons he can meet for the rest of her life. Last few days I felt like I've been changing, apologizing to her and giving her attention more. I also caught myself thinking of her. How beautiful and delicate she is that's why I tried to hook up with different girls.

I was brought back to my senses when I heard the door bell rang for a few times. What the hell, why can't she open the door like a normal person will do. I walk out of my office going directly to the front door. As I open the door I saw Rafael waiting impatiently. "What the hell man, I've been here for like 10 minutes" he said. I didn't mind what he was saying and decided to get a cold water when I suddenly froze to where I'm standing. I saw Amelia sprawled on the floor looking so pale. Rafael sense something was wrong but before he could say anything I ran to Amelia to check on her.

"Amelia" I tried to wake her up but she didn't respond. I felt Rafael bent over and just when he touch her "she's burning man" he said. I immediately carry her and lay her on the sofa.

"Call Doctor James, now"
