A NEW DAY- A NEW SURPRISE

Christiana's point of view

When I woke up, I was pretty shocked seeing the surrounding. I was in a room consisting of scenic portraits, king-size bed, and the roof-top not at all familiar to me. My house did not have that view. Also, there were no large chandlers in the center of it.

I pinched myself only to comeback to factuality. Gradually, I glanced at the room where I was sitting. Things seemed quite different. The room was quite big, I seemed like an ant lying on the floor.

“Where am I?” I muttered. I tried to remember about what happened few hours back that I was there.

I threw the blanket and stood straight. Amidst that my eyes went on a man sleeping next to my bed. I was conscious. The moment my barefoot touched the ground, I noticed he was Tiger and I was sleeping next to his bed. My eyes widened and I stepped back in fear.

“Get use to this for a year. You are no more living in your home.” He chuckled whilst going out of the room. I frowned. Those words of him were enough to bring me back to reality. Ough! I gasped

“Hello, bonjour madam!”

“Bonjour Miss Daisy!”

“Breakfast madam! Here is your delicious breakfast, madam.”

Miss Daisy-one of the housekeepers of the mansion came to me singing in the corridor.

“Madam, shall I bring anything else for you,” Miss Daisy asked me humbly putting the glass of green tea along with some cookies, puffed cocoa, cheeseburgers, potatoes, bacon, green garlic yogurt, and a poached egg accompanied with diet coke on the table next to our bed.

I was flabbergasted seeing the breakfast. I had never tried such whole and eccentric foods before.

“Nope. It is more than enough for now. Well, am I supposed to have all of these alone?” I asked Miss Daisy confoundedly.

“Yes, madam! This is for you.”

“Miss Daisy, Daisy….”

“Madam, I will have to go, master is calling.”

Before I could say anything, she went away as Tiger summoned her.

Ring! Ring! Ring!

The doorbell of my room rang soon.

I opened the door. It was Daisy yet again.

“Miss Daisy, you….”

I was puzzled seeing her again.

She rushed into my room with an envelope in her hand that the great billionaire, Tiger- my beloved husband had sent for me.

“Madam, this is for you. Master, has sent.”

“For me…. What? What is it inside this?”

“I do not have any clue, madam. Master told me to hand this over to you.” Daisy uttered.

“Okay, thank you,” I said to Daisy whilst taking the envelope from her.

I was seated on the couch and opened the envelope in which the letter was there. And paid heed to the envelope that Mr. Billionaire, my dear spouse had sent for me that stated:

Do not forget that this is a ‘Marriage of Convenience.’ These are the conditions on which our marriage is fixed.

This clause specifies that each spouse who has entered into the fixed marriage is fair and entered not by force or brunt.

The marriage contract was effective as soon as we got hitched and is valid for one year. After that, it will be nullified.

The agreement is fair and reasonable.

Be Honest: As a spouse, you should be honest.

You are protected from my debts and I am from yours. That way in the event of divorce you are safe. You need not pay anything to me. Also, I will not be liable to you.

You are not bone of my bones, and flesh of my flesh…. We shall never be one flesh.

3*3 Rule: In our marriage, there is nothing like 3 3 3 rules. We are not at all going to have any uninterrupted alone/together time.

Nuptial: There will be nothing such as pre-nuptial or post-nuptial things between the two of us.

Business: We ought to not bother about each other’s past and present.

You have nothing to do with my personal life; the same goes for me. We are not going to interfere in each other’s life.

A duty of good faith shall be put forth during negotiations.

And one of the most important things to be followed is- You will not have any love bond with someone until the contract expires. You shall be free after that.

Sign: After you read everything, do sign.

It was nothing less than a crisis for me. Yes, I knew the factuality. But after reading the clause I was shattered.

As per the bible, a wedding is not done on purpose to be a fixed contract that can be torn up or failed at will. This accord is intended to be a lifetime state. This is why Jesus stated in Matthew 19:6: “Wherefore they are no more twain(two), but one flesh.

Albeit, ours was not the sacred connection between three; the man, the woman, and God. So, I signed it before thinking twice.
