Chapter 3

*RENEE*

In the evening,I couldn't bear being in my room any longer so I decided to take a tour around the house.Afterall,I’d be living here so it was best I get familiar with the environment.

I realized that the house was huge and more complex than I thought.

I felt so relieved when I could finally locate the kitchen.I was staving.

I had not eaten all day.I quickly opened the refrigerator and found some fruits.I took them out and also a bottle of yogurt.

Hearing loud and powerful food steps,I turned around;

I was startled when I saw a man striding into the kitchen.I gulped,taking in his physique.He was so tall and muscular.And his face,I never thought anyone could look so handsome.

He was breathtaking.He stopped on his tracks and let out.

"You're not one of the maids."

And then I saw his eyes widened,he looked shocked to see me.

Those eyes suddenly looked familiar.And his raspy voice too.

"What are you doing here?"

I didn't know who to think of this man as.He was dressed,casually.

Was he a friend of Marcelo?

"I'm Marcelo's wife.Who are you?"

The man then burst into laughter.Suddenly,the laughter seized and he yelled."Get out!"

I found him annoying and rude.

Who was he to tell me to get out?

"I just told you who I am.You're being so rude."

*****

*MARCELO*

"Rude?!"I moved towards her,furiously.

Now she has succeeded in finding out my secret.

Was this perhaps her plan?

Why was she onto me?

First at the club?Now at my house?!

Renee moved away from me but she wasn't fast enough.

I seized her by the throat,pushing her against the wall.

She was so going to regret this!

"Who let you in?!"

***********

*RENEE*

“Le…let go of me!"I choked out.

There were rarely any pictures of Marcelo King online so the only way I thought I could recognize him was seeing him on a wheelchair since everyone knew he was crippled.

But why was this man acting like he owned this house?

"Tell me who let you into my house!"He thundered.

I might not have been the smartest in school but I wasn’t dumb.This could only confirm one thing.

"You…you're Marcelo King?"My eyes moved down to his legs.

He was standing, perfectly.

He had literally walked into this kitchen himself.

Marcelo roughly let go of me and I started to cough.

"I do not know what is it that you want of if Andrew sent you here but you messed with the wrong person."

I knew that he was definitely thinking of silencing me since I just found out the truth of his legs now.

Even if I had so many questions but this wasn’t the time to ask any questions,I had to get him to calm down and not hurt me.

"I understand why you're like this since I was previously engaged to your cousin but I have ended things with him.Not that it's going to make things less weird,but as of today,I'm your legal wife."

"A legal wife.Did you marry yourself?Because I can not recall marrying you!"

"I'm not lying,your mother didn't tell you because…"

Without waiting for me to explain further,he yelled.

"Hawk!Bones!"

God,what a temper!

Within seconds,two bodyguards ran into the kitchen.

"Throw her outside and release the dogs."

"Marcelo…I…I'm not lying,and if it's about your legs,I won't say anything."I begged,frantically.

"Renee,if you can survive being outside with my dogs,then I'll try to see you as Mrs King."

"Let go of me.Don't touch me!This isn't fair!Marcelo!"I yelled as I was dragged away.

*******

*MARCELO*

My wife indeed.

The nerves of that woman!

Chad must have heard the commotion as he rushed up to me.

"Mr King,you can't…"

"I can't what?Were you the one who let her in?!"I thundered.

Chad sighed and then handed me a marriage certificate.

I was stunned to find my signature on it.

“My mother went too fucking far this time."My fingers clenched around the documents.

"She's just worried about you.You're almost in your mid-thirties.She said she wishes to brighten the darkness around you."

"There is no darkness!And getting me my cousin's fiancee is far from brightening anything!"

"Sir Andrew and her are no longer together."

"I do not care and I don't want any woman that was once Andrew's!"I barked."Plus,since no one gave me a heads up that there was a stranger in my house,she knows about my legs so I have to take care of her!"

"Mr King…"

"And this should be the last time you plot with my mom and send me someone like her.I do not need anyone!"

"Your…"

"Release the dogs,Chad!"
