The cry of my newborn filled the room as Josiah handed her to me with the sweetest smile on his face. I could not control my tears as they rolled down both sides of my face.
“It's a girl”, he said to me with a shaky voice.I looked up at him and my eyes widened. For the first time in all my life, since I met this man, this was the first time I saw him shed a tear.“Our Sunshine has come back to us”, I whispered as I turned to look at the baby in my arms. She had stopped crying.“Yes she has”, he planted a kiss on my forehead and placed his face beside mine."I love you", I said to him, wiping the tears with my palm as we watched her."I love you more", I turned to him and we kissed passionately.She fluttered her little eyelashes in an effort to open her beautiful eyes. They shone like the sun as she gazed upon me.“Welcome back home my Sunshine”, I smiled at her.A tear rolled down my cheek. She sKatie's Pov I opened my eyes, it was morning again, I sighed heavily as I gathered the strength to get up. It was getting harder and harder to get through the days. Each day came with new problems, added to the ones I haven't even solved. I turned to my right, there was my mom, sleeping peacefully beside me, and to my left, my little sister, also sleeping peacefully. We lived in a small house. It had just one room, that same room served as the living area. Then a small kitchen and bathroom. Ever since dad passed, mom had been struggling real hard to put food on the table and make sure that I and Suri had to finish school. Suri was still in the 6th grade, and I was looking for a job to support her, even though she didn't want that. I needed a job, and I needed it fast. I let out an unconscious loud sigh, waking my mother up. "Good morning dear ", she rubbed her eyes and yawned at the same time. She was so beautiful. If only she didn't have to suffer so much. Don't worry ma, I'll
Katie's Pov I looked down at my ringing phone, it was Aunt Mary. She was Ma's sister who worked as a secretary for one of the big companies in the state. I wish I had her job, I thought as I picked up."Good morning aunt M", we called her aunt M,"Katie, your mother told me you are looking for a job. Come to the company, I need to talk to you", aunt M always went straight to the point, Before I could reply, the line went dead. The company wasn't so far from where I was so I walked there. The company building was so big. Glass doors covered the outside. I'm sure it had up to 100 floors, and I wondered how the view would be from the top floor. I walked in and there was Aunt M at her desk, she looked up at me and pushed her glasses up. She had a stern look, she always did."Katie, how are you?", she looked right at me,"I'm doing okay Aunt M, how are you?", I kept her gaze and smiled lightly, "I called you here to tell you about a contract my boss is offering ", she said ignoring my
Katie's Pov It was my wedding day. Not what I imagined, but it was it. As I walked down the aisle and I met my mothers teary eyes, she was so happy, her daughter was getting married, and not just to anybody, to the David's, the richest family in the state, maybe even in the country. I turned to aunt M, she nodded and gave me a little smile. She was the only family member who actually knew what I was getting into. I looked at Suri, she was so beautiful and happy, her big sister was getting married to Josiah David. She would have bragging rights in school, because everyone knew that name.Then I turned to face the man I was marrying at the altar. He had no love in his eyes, if anything, he couldn't wait to get done with this and get the hell out of here. I got to the altar and he helped me up, taking my position beside him, we faced the priest, and everyone sat down."Dearly beloved, we are gathered here today to join these lovely two in holy matrimony.", I took a peek at the man bes
Katie's Pov We drove into the most beautiful house I had ever seen in person. The type of mansion you see on TV for celebrities. We stopped, and I got down to meet a middle age looking woman standing outside the house."Welcome home Mrs Josiah. My name is Jane. I am the head housekeeper ", she had the most charming smile,"It's nice to meet you Jane. Please, call me Katie", I smiled back at her,"Take her around the house Jane. I would be in my room", I heard him say as he made his way into the house. We had said nothing to each other in the car to the airport. On the plane. And on the drive to here. This was the man I had just married.. in quote.A middle aged man came out from the house to take our bags into the house. "This is Adre. He runs errands in the house", I heard Jane say beside me,"Welcome home Mrs Josiah", he bowed,"Please, call me Katie", I smiled at him. I could get use to this service, and treatment, I thought."Please follow me Ma'am ", Jane motioned with her han
Katie's Pov In no time, it was morning. I had had breakfast brought up to my room again. The cooks in the house really did a good job. I showered, and went downstairs, making my way to the library, where I met Jane. She told me Josiah had gone to work early. Avoiding me today again I see. I made my way to the garden, laid down on the grass, and began the book I had taken from the library. I looked up when I heard a car pull up into the drive way. It was him. I got up, walking towards the car."Are you avoiding me?", I accused him,"I do not have the energy to", he did not bother looking at me,"You could not even come out to see if I had settled in properly ", I kept my gaze on him,"I can see now that you settled well enough to come disrupt my afternoon", he started walking into the house,"Is this how you intend on treating me the next two years?", I trailed behind him,He turned to face me, and I stopped in my tracks, "If you do not stay out of my way", and he proceeded upstairs.
Josiah's PovThe ray of the sun hit my face from an opening in the drapes. I groaned and turned to the other side, my back against the light. I tried to go back to sleep, but I couldn't stop thinking about last night. She skipped dinner. I couldn't help but feel responsible. I turned to face the ceiling. I shouldn't even be feeling this. It's not my business she eats or not, I said nothing of offense to her. I was trying so hard to convince myself that I wasn't in the wrong, but I wasn't sure it was working.I sat up. I should take a shower to drown these thoughts. Taking my clothes off, I placed them on the bed, and walked into the shower. As the water ran down my body, I started to think, 'when was the last time I had a woman in the shower with me', ironic that I'm married, and my wife cannot satisfy me in that manner. She has gotten too comfortable, she needs to be reminded that she has duties as my wife, it was all in the contract, and whether she likes it or not, she will carry o
Katie's Pov I felt the day run faster than usual, as I dreaded the what awaited me at night. I walked into the sitting room, and noticed a big flat screen TV, I was confused as to why I had never noticed it, was it new?, as I stood wondering, the 'master' of the house walked in,"Noticed the new accessory I see", he said with pride as he crashed into the couch,"It is nice", I genuinely was not surprised,"I got it for you", he looked at me,"Me?", this time I did not hide my surprise, "Yes. So you don't feel alienated from the happenings of the world", I almost thought I heard concern on his voice,"Thank you", I said after a long pause,"You will be spending tonight with me", he said authoritatively, "Do I have a choice?", I rolled my eyes at him,He got up from the chair, walking towards where I was standing. I took steps back until I was between him and the wall, he looked at me in a way I ca
Katie's Pov He sat up as I walked in. I stood by the door after closing it, unsure of what to do next, or where to go. In the corner of my eye, I found myself scanning his room.. it was pretty beautiful, this man really had taste.He watched me as I scanned his room, not saying a word. He got up and began walking towards me. He was without a shirt on and I noticed his ripped body. I had never seen him without a shirt before and I shamelessly drooled over it. He walked towards me until he backed my up against the wall, placing me again between him, and the wall. He looked into my eyes causing the hairs on the back of my neck to stand. He placed his both hands on the wall, brushing the hair from my neck as he did so. He leaned in to me, bringing his lips closer to mine, my eyes went to his lips without my consent. Our lips were a centimetre apart, and he just stood there, unmoving, making me wonder if he wanted me to make the first move.. of course I
