New Chapter

‎The car ride was as silent as I predicted. Emilio stared out of the widow and I did same. Bth on opposite sides.

‎When we drove into his street I knew it immediately. The roads where beautiful with flowers at the side and fancy streetlights.

‎Large buildings where coming in view and my heart sunk. So .. this will be my new home.

‎We got to the drive way and the car stopped. The driver rolled down his window and typed something in the intercom and continued with the drive.

‎My mouth dropped as the mansion came in view. It was larger than the largest hotel on my street. Damn

‎The car stopped directly in front of the large door and I swallowed hard before stepping out.

‎ Silently, I followed Emilio into the mansion and I looked around in  awe.

‎"Beautiful right?" Emilio said and I snapped out of my day dream.  "Yeahh.....it is " I smiled as I looked around the house.

‎White tiles covered the length of the room leading to french doors at the opposite end leading to the backyard. On my left there was another door.

‎"It's your home as much as it is mine" he said something nice for the first time since I met him. "I'll introduce you formally to everyone but for now, I know you need rest so I'll show you your room" he said as I followed him.

‎"Ok" I said I know I badly wanted to ask why not share a room but I guess I should take what I have. "Urm.... My clothes"

‎" Oh those.... Well I told them to burn everything you brought from your house and fill your wardrobe with new attires. What?

‎"You ...mean everything I brought"

‎"Look Adeline.... You're no more the girl you used to be. You're married to a business man who has a reputation to uphold I expect you as my wife to support that" he smiled but the smile wasn't a nice one. It made my blood boil and freeze.

‎" Yeah....I uh... understand" I don't know why but I couldn't think straight it was like this was just a nightmare that I'll wake up from soon.

‎"Good now that we have an understanding let me show you to your room" I sighed as I silently followed him.

‎After a while, we stopped in front of a door. I mean I think we passed ten doors. Damn how big is this house.

‎"Well this is your room and everything has been set up. But if you need anything my room is just down the hall. And I mean any" he smirked which made my skin crawl.

‎"Thank you" I forced a smile. He nodded and took off leaving me with my thoughts.

‎I threw the heels off my feet and I let out a sound of relief as I stretched my toes. It was cramped.

‎I finally fell on the soft bed that made everything seem better for a short while and I let the tears fall. I cried for my sister, and I cried for my freedom.

‎

‎ My head hurt like crazy as I got out of bed. My mind was clouded with a lot of thoughts that my head felt too heavy on my shoulders.

‎I had a long shower which helped me clear my mind a little. After I was done, I looked for what to wear which was harder than I expected.

‎All the dresses where designer and all the blouses looked too expensive to wear indoors.

‎After a lot of searching, I found some shorts and a plain t-shirt. I smiled into the mirror and I looked like I actually was happy. Good I liked that.

‎ I walked out of my room hesitantly hoping I don't get lost. Everything looked different under morning sun. I saw a door that looked too big to be a room. I slowly walked to the door and pulled it open.

‎It led me to an opened balcony and the stairs. I smiled at how beautiful it was wow I was living here now. I slowly walked down the stairs running my hands through the well polished bars as I walked down step by step.

‎As I reached the bottom, I noticed Emilio backing me . He was talking to someone and they seemed to be whispering. I looked around hoping to hide but I couldn't keep my eyes away from him. Ashley was right.

‎He did look like a god. He was beyond hot. His tanned skin and abs that I could see through his shirt. A loose tie has never looked so good on a human being before. I nearly bit my lip as I snapped out of my head.

‎ Before I could move his eyes met mine. I then managed a smile so he wouldn't suspect anything.

‎"Oh Adeline" I mean is that how you call your wife. It kinda hurt. " This is Mrs Kane our cook and your personal help" he smiled at her and she immediately took my hand in hers and shook it well.

‎"Nice you meet you Adeline" she smiled warmly and It felt kinda good.

‎"You can call me Addy and thank you me too" she smiled and nodded

‎" Addy it is are you hungry Addy?" She smiled making me smile too.

‎" Well yes " I shrugged and she laughed.

‎" You mean he didn't feed you after the ceremony?" She eyed Emilio who just shrugged sipping his coffee. She sighed as she passed me a plate of scrambled eggs "if you're still hungry I can cook some rice"

‎"No it's fine really this would do" I smiled and she nodded.

‎ After I was done eating, I spent more time with Mrs Kane . She told me alot about her children and her husband. She was such a hard working woman

‎"Wow .. you're such a strong girl" she said as I told her how I ended up as a hostage cause this isn't a marriage.

‎It was a prison. A prison I had to survive for my family.
