Throughout the ride to his house I kept my head down and stayed silent though my neck had started aching from my bent position. I have no intention of angering him so I kept up that position . It took us around 30mins to finally get to our destination "we are here" he said and that gives me the cue to get down from the luxury posh car we rode in. "wow" I exclaimed in surprise that came out louder than I expected. I immediately looked away to hide my embarrassment as the bodyguard s were looking at me. "come in" he spoke again while gesturing for me to walk in with him. I turned to get my small bag of the clothes I have from the car that served as an escort to us "No Ma'am, I will bring that in for you" the guard said while bowing to me, I gave a small nod and followed Ivan in. The house was huge and beautiful, the furnishing at the sitting room alone was luxury on its own which made me wonder how the furnishing at the other parts of the house will be like.
I continue to admire the view of the house when Ivan called my attention "Sofia"I turned to face him. "Yes sir" . He frowned a little before introducing me to a blond woman that looked to be in her 40s "this is Grace, she is the house keeper. she will introduce you to the other staff. If you need anything around the house go to her." I blinked before answering "Ok sir" he frowned again, what is it with him frowning at every reply I give. Ivan turned to Grace " this is Sofia, take her to the room and help her settle in". Grace nodded in reply. Just when I was about to go with her at his request, he pulled me back and leaned I to my ear a little. My body stiffened at his action that made me wonder what he wants to do. I felt intimidated and I pressed my lips shut for fear that I have angered him."Don't call me sir, you are my wife and the magistrate is coming over this evening for us to get our marriage certificate. The name is IVAN ISAAC SCOTT, MRS SCOTT." He left me there frozen in the spot by his words. Dad had said he was going to marry me but I didn't believe it cause who marries their slave. I am just a bargain to clear dad's debt he intentionally refuses to pay .
" please come with me Ma'am" that was just enough to break the spell from Ivan's words. I can't help but wonder what will come out of this marriage.
Grace took me round the mansion so I could get acquainted with the house and the staffs. We even got to Ivan office but she said it was off limits. I wasn't exactly concentrating throughout the tour as my mind kept wondering about my marriage with Ivan and been called Mrs Scott, it was a scarry turn of events. 'Will Ivan be abusive? we are getting our marriage certificate today, this means this is going to be our first night as a couple, will he force himself on me. I have never been with a guy before, Oh My God ! what do I do?' All these thoughts kept swimming around my head and it made me more nervous. " this is your room as well as the Boss's room" I shivered before going in . it was nice and spacious, I couldn't believe one person occupied the room alone before I came. " This door leads to the walk-in closet, while the other leads to the bathroom". I gave a small in understand still too scared to use my words after what happened between Ivan and I . Grace left to give me privacy but returned immediately to inform me of a dress and shoe Ivan prepared for me for when the magistrate comes before leaving me to the peace and quite the room provided. So I stop thinking of Ivan's words and action I decided to unpack and taking the chance to look at the dress and shoe Grace had mentioned earlier.
