I was on a business trip.
I had embezzled a lot of money into a business deal I didn't even look through well "shit".And I had to get for valeria to get to I was having a hectic day then I got a call from an unknown number. I was a little bit scared Then I answered the phone "hello ma'am my boss wants to meet and sign a deal with you"
"Are you willing to come or do you want to decline it"the individual said "no no no no I will be right there just tell me the address and I will be right there"i immediately said.
After some few minutes I arrived at the meeting venue and waited for her client."sorry I'm late"" oohh it's no problem don't worry about it at all"" so lets talk about the deal, my boss has been caught up with something so he won't be able to get here"" great so lets proceed"i happily replied " so my boss wants you to sell you niece to him for a large sum of money and let him marry her"he calmly said
"What did you say?" I clearly being astonished said "what do you mean by sell my niece Don't you know that I'm already in big trouble My familyalmost found out about something concerning Maraian and you want me to sell her just like that I'm sorry but I can't please give me another option please"" ma'am I would advice you think about it this deal can make you pay all your depths and send you daughter to college " "just let me think about it"
"this is my card so call if you have made up your mind about the deal If your answer has not been received in 12 hours time consider the deal off" "can I talk to your boss himself"i said
"my boss doesn't talk with low clients"" but I'm gonna be his mother in law if I agree"" but you haven't agreed to it so 12 hours think about it very carefully "
I was In my apartment when I heard a knock on my door.The people who I had borrowed money from lately have been really disturbing me. I ignored the knock on my door. Then I heard the door break. I tried to jump out of the window, but I was so scared that I felt back in the apartment. They held my throat and told me to bring the money now or they were gonna kill me.I had already suffocated and felt I was gonna die then I remembered the guy's proposal. So I tapped them and they let me go. I went to look for my bag and I saw the card. I called the and we had the deal they sent me the money and I payed my depths that moment.
I was never like this, but was it even right to sell my niece. I felt ashamed about it but what was done had been done so there was no turning back. I booked a ticket and took a plane back home.
Present day
When I was having my peaceful sleep I was awoken by a loud knock on my door. It was the maid she told me my aunt said I should pack my bags. I felt happy cause if I would be gone by then that Ian guy won't pester me yayyy.
I rushed to the and freshened up, I put on some clothes and sneakers on used my perfume and packed my stuff my iPad and all the other things I needed then after I went to the basement and locked the hidden door then went out. After getting down the thing I had feared since yesterday was coming to reality gosh I saw those men who had been stalking me. What did they want from me or maybe it could be my aunt. I tried to feel cool but it wasn't working should I go or run gosh so I went.Tell me if this is a bad decision later gosh.
" My lovely niece you look so splendid" Just trying to get honor" I said under my breath.
"what did you say my dear"
" I said thanks I mean the compliment"" better be so these are some men who came to pick you up to go to your fiancé's house""you are gonna get married to day I'm so happy for you"My baby is getting " aunt I do not know what you are talking about but I am not getting married today." yes you are baby guards send her with you''"let me tell you something, how did you think I would renovate this house"
"We use money for all that and I Sylvia, does not want my house to be dull I got bankrupt so I sold you and got a large amount of money and by the way you are really welcomed Now send her"
Now back to the first chapter, they dragged me and sent me to that bastard's car. I behaved calmly after I felt his gaze on me. I didn't want to talk him at all he was so annoying and he also hurt my feelings but wait.It's not like I like him though point of correction guys but he makes me drool like a fool.I came back to reality as I heard someone tapping my shoulder what did I sleep. I saw the driver Derrick I guess he told me we had reached or destination. I saw this building but I was sure it wasn't his house. This guy must be living in a very big paradise.
I went in and I saw him sign a paper I don't wanna get married no please God don't let this happen. "come here sign the paper"he uttered demandingly
why should I do that, I don't wanna get married okay"i replied Seeing that he wasn't going to change his mind anytume sooner I started to beg."Please don't make my life a living hell as it already is Maxwell then shouted sign the fucking papers okay
Then I also shouted "no I won't okay"" yes you will"he excused us then he removed his phone and showed me something. That made me very scared of him pls dont hurt them they are the only family who care for me pls."make your decision obey me and sign the papers"
Which won't cause anything to you and your so called family that cares about you or walk away and see them die one by one. I'm counting to five make you decision 1,,2,,3,,4,,,fiv.... "okay okay I'll do it I will obey you please don't hurt them"We then went back in.I apologised to the lawyer and signed the marriage certificate very fast, ready to leave the place. After everything, we went to a restaurant near by.
All the people that saw as taught we were a nice couple a few smiled at as and I smiled back .
But my mind was on fire hot boiling fire.At that same moment sevaral questions came nuzzling in my mind. What if he hurt them?What if he didn't keep his promise?I felt like shit what if he just used me.But why would a young man like him marry me and not go around have fun. But cage himself like this, Was this love at first sight? then I woke up from the brief trance.
"drink your soup or it is going to get cold"" yeah I'm just not hungry at the moment""eat or starve yourself"After I still didn't eat he stopped eating then told the waiter to bring him the bill.
I wanted to eat fast but the soup was still hot. He knocked the soup before it could get to my mouth . It was a hot soup that burnt my skin. I shouted very loudly making us catch lots of attention. The pain in my heart and the ones from hurting where enough for me to collapse. Maxwell just looked at me with regretful eyesbut he then got angry again. I walked back to the car limping it had spilled on my lap and hands. It had started to get worse I sat in the car and couldn't hold it back anymore. Was my heart gonna hurt like this always i thought. I thought we would go to the hospital but we reached a mansion. I then out of the car with Derrick helping me. It was very bad.
He helped me get up. We went to the mansion then an old man approached me and greeted me.
" hi young miss I mean madam you are at our service""Can you please follow me so I can introduce you to the stuffs of this house""can we do that another time please help me fix this"
I then showed him my bruises. He then shouted which startled me a little." Jenna please bring the aid You see ma'am jenna was a professional nurse so you need not worry about it Please what happened to you""may I not talk about it please"i tearfully replied.
When the maid came she fixed her bruises for her.Then told her they had to go to the hospital .But she declined then the nurse gave her some pills to minimise the pain The butler showed her, her room which was also maxwell's room too. It was extremely big and had dark colours of which she didn't like much.
I went to check If he was in the bathroom but he wasn't there. Without locking the door she removed all her clothes and wiped her self it was very tiring. When she finished she then wrapped a towel around herself which smelt like him.She blushed then became sad again then when she had finished about to leave, someone barged in the bathroom because her towel wasn't that tight around her It fell. Then Maxwell looked at her lustfully then he turned his gaze away from her.
She looked so hot for her age wow then he felt ashamed for what he had done before. But he wasn't going to say "sorry Maraian "tried to get the towel but she couldn't." get the fucking towel and get out of here"he shouted his face clearly angry.
because of the fear she took it fast opening her wound even more tears streamed her face as she left.
It really hurt very badly she then put on some pajamas and went to sleep on the couch."why are you sleeping there"She didn't answer then tried to remain calm." I'm talking to you okay. Maraian, Maraian, hey"Maxwell then stood went to her side and held her wrist tightly. Forgetting her bruise Maraian then shouted"aaahh" "I'm tired okay, don't you feel guilty already for what you did to me and more huh tell me You hurt me this bad and you want me to answer you when you talk to me You are an asshole and I really hate you I will never love you All I'll have for you will be hatred you are nothing but a demon"
Maxwell felt like he wanted to hug her and comfort her but brushed it off." sleep on the bed I'm going to my Study"" I don't want to he held her waist this time and dropped her on the bed"" do it or I sleep with you 1,,"" why do you always count"
He got in the bed and tugged her in forcefully. She struggled a lot but all went in vain she didn't want her wounds to open at all. As it was already hurting when she stopped Maxwell looked straight in her eyes. She also looked in his eyes were all men this handsome and cruel. Maxwell was still checking her wounds and she was just looking at what he was doing.
He finished what he was doing right on time and she pulled her hands out of his hold and told her to sleep. "Sleep or else the monster that eats beautiful young women will eat you alive".
"Ewwww that's gross what exactly do you mean by the monster I'm not a child as you said a woman and I don't believe in those things"" oh women can talk" "hey" "it's okay just sleep".
Maxwell 's Pov
When I was on my way to pick her, I felt like I should have courted her and make her fall in love with me willingly. But I didn't want her to abuse the right of falling In love with me. Cause as always I get what I want, I'm rich and have lots of properties but the only thing I had lucked was true love.
Since I was little my parents were busy making sure I get a bright future, but I was somewhere having fun with my friends. And not learning, I failed a lot especially in high school. When I was in college my dad died in a car accident which made me realise I had done a very big mistake. I hadn't talked with my parents for some months so I didn't know whether they are were fit or not. I had use all the money in my account and had been hacking other people's accounts to gain money for ends meet.
I was once arrested but then released I was sure my mom bailed me. I then went home but I met my angry mom, she was so furious that she slapped me and even threw the vase at me which I dodged." I want you to get out of here you are a very selfish and foolish person who always thinks about himself, your dad was going to transfer his work here so he could cater for you more. We lost lots of dollars but we didn't mind now get out and never think of attending the funeral.
I went any ways but I made sure she wouldn't recognise me at all. After graduating my mom who had been taking care of the company became very sick. I went and took over the company after months of not talking with my mom we made up. And since then I had changed from the cold and rude person I was to a very kind and humble man. And I was going to therapy for my anger issues in one of my meetings I met a nice woman who was known to be a daddy's girl.
We got to know each other she wasn't as holy as I thought but she was known to have slept with almost half of the men in her workplace. But I just didn't mind cause I loved her very dearly. I proposed to her to marry me and we had a fight for almost two months. Then she finally accepted it we went around the world whilst on business trips and had fun together. Then after we arrived from the vacation I went home early to only find my fiancee not sleeping with a man and other people sleeping with themselves in our room which was very spacious. I confronted her only to find other men I knew from the business sector in the bathroom sleeping with other her
"wow" I thought. I moved from that house and sold it after. I wanted her to at least come beg me and maybe I would forgive her, but until now I haven't heard from her. So I moved on and have been having one night stands since.Until I met her" Maraian" . I had really hurt her and told maid to get some ointments to help heal her wounds fast. I wanted her to be afraid of me but sometimes I feel like I shouldn't have done it. It makes me feel awful at times I just hurt her by putting my anger caused by Nathania on her.
Then I saw her in the bathroom I had forgotten that I would be sharing a room with her. I just wanted to rush to her side pick her up swung her in my arms and send her to the bed and make sweet love to her all day.
But the way she looked at me with fear in her eyes made me angry once again. I just didn't mean to scare her like that.
