Are you okay?

Daphne Pov

I stood in front of the judge in the courtroom. I was dressed formally but with a sad look on my face. It was obvious I wasn't happy. This wasn't how I wanted my marriage to be, I have always thought my marriage would hit the ground and everyone would know but look at me here. Standing in front of the judge about to sign a contract agreement just the two of us in here. I had mixed feelings.

I was angry because I wasn't even informed about marriage but yet I was still here. I didn't even plan to escape from him or his family, perhaps I loved my family and considered them first. I don't even know the person I was getting married to.

"Are you of sound mind and understand what you're about to do young lady?" The judge asked me and I drifted away. I don't even know what to say but this question indicates there was no turning back or getting divorced with no reasons.

I gulped down my saliva with a clenched jaw before giving an answer. "Yes''

The judge turned his face toward my groom and asked him the same question which he answered with a twinkle of an eye. He wasn't even bothered at all.

It made it seems, he had already known me before and it was his greatest opportunity to be with me.

"Are you entering this marriage on your free will?" The judge further his questions, I went silent instantly and that earned me a glare from my groom. It was a glare of death and fierce.

"Yes I am."

It was a short three words but the words held great power to me. First, I knew I was entering a boundage of no destination and with the look on his face, he was sure more fierce than this.

The contract papers were handed over to me and I sighed without even reading the content because why would I just waste my time and read the content when it would only make me sad.

The thought of our wedding night came rushing instantly to my mind and I coughed. Why was this rubbish thought coming in now.

The judge inspected the papers again before he cleared his throat. "Since you already signed the agreement papers, it is now pronounced that you two are husband and wife and would do everything to keep the marriage. I hope it is filled with great joy and honey as you experience the life of a married couple. "He congratulated us with a handshake which I took with pleasure but deep inside my heart, I wasn't happy at all.

Bringing out a fake smile, I saw his hand out asking me to hold him and I did.

We both strode out of the courtroom with a blue Versace car waiting for us. The door was already opened by the driver who stood beside it.

He bowed his head down in respect and I got into the car. It sure felt good but the marriage thing sucks the most.

He got in too and the driver started the engine. "Hope you already know the rules?" He asked with his eyes out viewing whatever he was looking at.

I gave him a deep stare before I faced the other side. "I didn't, because I don't see reasons to" I replied bluntly but it was followed with a short chuckle.

"You don't see reasons to? I bet you would be in regret if I start saying things that are in the contract papers that you missed."

How can someone be this full of himself?

Silence eloped between us before he cleared his throat. "I would want us to maintain distance and respect ourselves. This marriage isn't real and we don't have to do all lovey like every other couple do outside. Let's be on our own good side and you will enjoy me. Understand that I don't love you and I can never love you. Actually I have a lot of things in mind to say to you but no couple's night or whatever you call it."

After he said all those words, my mind felt at peace but it wasn't also. How can I get married and expect us not to talk to each other. He surely hated me and didn't want to have anything to do with me so why didn't he decline! Why didn't he stand on his words? Why is he giving me rules now!" Those questions ran through my head but there was no one to answer it.

The car stopped all of a sudden and the car opened. He got out of the car without even giving me a glance then I followed immediately. This wasn't anyone's life to face now and I have to understand that it's mine alone.

My eyes glared up and a Wow formed from my mouth. "Yes, you have to make it out because it's worth it." I heard his voice interrupting my voice and I glared at him.

Such a rude jerk.

I decided to get back at him. "I was just trying to admire the beauty, it's not like I haven't seen this before."

" Really? You sure you have because your house says alot about it." His words hit back at me right straight to my heart like an arrow and I felt a sting pain.

I was trying to make him feel less important but he was actually good at being a rude jerk.

I clenched my jaw and strode after him into his so-called mansion.

Getting in I was more shocked, there were a lot of maids coming in and out of every corner. And the house, It was giving! I can't even ignore the fact that the house was making sense.

"Get her into the room, she's your young master wife." He instructed and I scoffed.

 Oh am I?

" Follow me ma'am" The maid told me and I followed with no words. The maids had this cooperation, no one talked to themselves or made rumors around and I loved the fact he had trained them like that.

"Would you want a big master's room or your room?" She asked me and my eyes widened.

Big masters room? I would be a dead ass hole to even have that thought in mind. I would never want to have anything to do with that man of a scum. "My room please" I requested with respect laced on my voice and she turned towards me with widened eyes.

"You don't have to use the word please"
