His Mansion

“Bye mom. I will visit you early tomorrow.”

I glanced at the caretaker once again before turning and leaving the ward behind Damon.

Many of the hospital staff had seen me and Damon together and they were secretly envious of this visual couple. I was an ethereal beauty with my triangular face, pointed nose and sharp eyebrows. But the most prominent part of my face was my eyes. The ones that seemed very cold but shiny at the same time, as if hiding the entire galaxy within them.

As for Damon, there wasn’t even a need to mention anything. None of the bachelors in Country Golden could even compare to him. But none of the rich fathers dared to put a marriage proposal in front of him.

Damon and I walked side by side while exiting the hospital. The head, Dr. Wen, was already standing at the gates for us.

“Mr. Damon. I would again apologize for today’s incident. We will take all the responsibility for your mother-in-law,” the head doctor said.

“Whatever happened today should not be leaked. Or you will know the consequences.” With that Damon left the badly shaking doctor behind.

The head knew that Damon meant to keep his marriage and today’s news a secret. He wasn’t dumb enough to go against him. Thus he immediately called a meeting for the entire staff and informed them that none of them would say even a single word about the incident.

Damon and I sat in the back seat while Adrian was sitting in the front passenger seat.

“Ask our men to stand guard at the hospital for the next two weeks. No mistakes are allowed,” Damon spoke after some time.

“Yes boss,” Adrian replied before calling their men to inform them regarding the same.

I heard this entire conversation and felt a shiver down my spine.

I just knew that Damon was in business and had a lot of enemies. But suddenly I found that I had landed myself in a dangerous situation.

Damon glanced at me from the side.

“You and your mother are under my protection now. That is the only reason either of you is safe.”

His voice carried no comfort. It was a statement of ownership, nothing more.

I turned toward the window and ignored him. It took us a fifteen-minute drive from the hospital to Damon’s home. Though I could no longer call it home but more like a mansion.

Damon asked a maid to make me familiarize with his place. With that he left for his office. The maid accompanying me was very polite and I liked her. Finally she took me towards Damon’s room.

“Young miss, this is young master’s room and all your luggage has been kept in the room.” She entered the room after entering the password and I followed behind her.

“Do you know at what time will Damon return?” I asked after checking the room.

The room was huge, enough to accommodate almost thirty people. It was filled with basic shades of black, white and grey. A king-sized bed was situated at one of the sides while a walk-in closet was facing it on the opposite wall.

And to my surprise, the closet was filled with some brand new female clothes of my size including my old clothes that Damon was talking about shifting.

“Young master will return around nine in the evening,” the maid replied.

The maid agreed and bowed politely before leaving the room. I immediately picked up all my old clothes from the closet and brought them into a room at the farthest corner of this floor.

Damon lived in a huge house which had a lot of empty rooms. I had familiarized myself with the house and knew that this room was farthest from Damon’s room.

I went back again and checked his room for other stuff, and as I had guessed, all my belongings were placed neatly in his room.

I carried them back to the last room. It took me almost more than an hour to do this. Moreover I had to do it silently so that other workers wouldn’t be suspicious.

Every time I walked back and forth between the two rooms, the same thought repeated in my mind: he had forced this marriage on me, and now he expected me to sleep in his bed as if I belonged there. I refused.

I looked at the time and noticed it was almost eight thirty. Damon would be back in another half hour. I quickly went down to the first floor where the kitchen was located.

“Young miss, are you feeling hungry? Should we serve the dinner for you or do you want to wait for young master?” the chef asked.

Damon had already informed his butler about the marriage and in turn all the workers were aware about this young miss. Thus they tried to put their best smiles and attitude before me.

“I am a little tired so I don’t want to eat much. Could you just give me a glass of warm milk?” I asked.

It wasn’t that I wasn’t hungry, but I wasn’t in the mood to eat anything. All the things that happened today were too much for me to accept.

My mother met an accident yesterday and no doctor was ready to treat her. I just wanted to ask for some help from Damon but suddenly I was forced to be his legal wife now. My mother had undergone a major operation and now I was forced to live in this unnecessarily huge mansion.

All these events were too much even for a normal person and if not for the extraordinarily strong mind I had, I was sure to have collapsed by now.

The chef handed me a glass of warm milk before resuming with the rest of the dinner. I quickly finished it before thanking the chef and going back to the second floor.

None of the workers wanted to disobey me on the very first day and thus none of them had stepped on the second floor after I had asked for it. Therefore none of them knew that I had already shifted to the last room.

I turned to look back at the first floor and saw that none of the workers were looking at me.

I quietly tiptoed to the last room. I immediately locked the room from inside and checked it twice before going back to the bed.

Sitting on the edge of the mattress, I stared at the locked door.

This was the only small rebellion I could manage tonight.

He had forced the marriage.

He had forced me into his house.

But he would not force me into his bed.

Not after all he did to me when I was younger, I hated him so much for that. He ruined the joys of my childhood. It was the dark times of my life, I will never forget.

This was what Demon did to me, the reason I hated him so much and won't let go...
