Two

John hands gradually continue to coarse her soft skin, from the crook of her neck, gently and slowly down to her boobs, to her upper region, and downwards between her privates.

Immediately she felt his hands between her thighs, she resisted and pulled back from him, making him halt his hands.

His hands stopped roaming, just their sound of breath could be heard in the dark room.

"If this marriage is going to work, I have to check and make sure you're clean." His deep manly voice echoed repeatedly in the room, sending a shiver down her spine.

She cringed and clench the sheet hard for support, her heart thumping loudly, this was the worst day of her life, She thought as she tried to fought back her fear.

She knew this was her fate, everything was real, she isn't dreaming. She decided to accept her fate, and play along. There's nothing she can do about it, talking to her parents won't change her fate. She clenches her fist, gulped down her fear and gave up resistance.

She can do this, she has to do it, not for anything but her family, she has to make her father likes her, she wants him to find her worthy of a daughter, she wants him to give her attention just like Jessie, She thought.

She freed herself and let him have his way with her, but then john stopped and gently pulled his hands out from her body.

"I have checked, you're clean, when you come of age, I will bed with you." He said, and step back from the bed, turned on his heels, and left her alone in the dark room.

John struts out with a satisfy smile on his face, he was ready to call Sharon's father to proceed with the engagement, and make her his wife.

Sharon was taken aback, her face contorted with confusion, seeing him stride out of the room without a word from him.

'What happened? I didn't make him leave, did I? Father would kill me, I just messed things up' Sharon thought inwardly, and it made her panic. Although she felt relief that he didn't do anything to her, but she has failed her father.

She didn't move an inch and stayed in bed, thinking he would be back.

Her father clearly told her not to deny him of anything, she must do whatever he asked of her. But she didn't understand why he had to stop, and leave without a word.

He is horrible and ruthless, yet he should have at least say a word, Sharon thought, even while she knew it wouldn't be possible.

She hugged her legs, and waited for his return, thinking he would be back.

She waited for what felt like forever, but there was no sight of him, the door wasn't opening.

She said little prayers and waited for another ten minutes, but still, he didn't show up.

And with a slow steady step, she climbed down from the bed and use her small palms to ease her clothes, then quietly stride out of the room, and made her way downstairs.

She scrutinizes the place carefully, turning to her back, side, and front to make sure there was no one, and when she heard no one's voice or footsteps, she quietly led her way out of the mansion.

Immediately she step out of the gate, the worst happened, she was surrounded by a group of reporters, which got her frightened.

They blocked her route, there was no way she can run or escape from them. They look aggressive and wanted to find the truth behind the rumor.

They are keen to explore more of the rumor with the interview they are about to have with Sharon.

Her gaze traveled from one figure to another, with fear in her eyes, holding tigtly to her clothes, until they start throwing questions at her.

"Is it true that the man you engaged with is disfigured and also suffering from a disease?"

'How did they find out I was engaged with him? Was it announced to the public? Did father informed the reporters' She thought inwardly, still clutching to her clothes.

"Does he have hidden illness? Is the rumor true? Can you affirm to that?" A brunette female reporter asked.

"Is he as scary as they say? How bad is he disfigured?" A white, hairy man asked.

"Why are you marrying a man like that? Is there a reason why you want to marry him? Are you getting engaged because of his wealth?"

"Are you both in love with each other?" They kept asking her questions repeatedly, but she didn't utter a word to them.

She was surprised they were asking her such questions. Who would haven told them she was engaged with him?

She never knew about the engagement until her father announced it to her earlier today.

Who would dare bring a reporter to his house? The GU family are strong and powerful in the city, and no one would dare to do such a thing to offend them.

No one dares to send reporters to his house, Whoever is behind it, might also be as powerful as the GU family, She thought.

Her feet ache from standing too long, she wants to run away, but there was no way out, all the route was blocked.

But what do I do now? I didn't get to see his face, and even if I did, I won't tell them he is ugly, it will only ruin his image, and it will give them the privilege to explore more of the rumor, write fake news about him.

I have to help him, yes I must help him, I have to cover up the mess I did, if I do help him, he could give me money to save father's company, and father would be proud of me.

I need to do this for father and the company, I have to save my family, She thought.
