"We would like you to have dinner with Sir Christian."
One of them said, My smile faded and I remained stoic. No, no, no. My heart began to beat faster and I shook my head no. They raised their eyebrows and I asked, "Why?". "To see If we can proceed with things further or not." I swallowed hard and nodded.
I was about to leave to tell mother about it and to get ready but they said, "Please wear this for dinner." They motioned to a beautiful black lacy frock which seems very expensive and I can only imagine to wear these dresses not to actually wear one.
"I can't wear it," I said. "You have to." They insisted and after arguing for a few moments, I sighed in defeat and turned to see my mother looking at me. I took the dress and went to my room.
Surprisingly, The fitting was perfect for my curves and I looked at myself in the mirror, I looked so graceful. Such alluring looks, I can't explain. I took a deep breath and walked out. I let my brown hair fall on my back and applied a little makeup.
They smiled at me and took me with them. In the car, I suddenly realize, this can also be fake so that they take me somewhere else. I'm stupid, I shouldn't trust these guys in the first place and I am alone with them, how idiotic I can be. I bit my lip in nervousness and opened my phone.
Since I haven't seen this Christian Elvis before, I searched through the web for him to know if I'm meeting the actual deal or not.
I looked at his pics, Oh My God, he doesn't seem like an old guy. He is pretty handsome but anyone can look beautiful in filtered and edited pictures.
Finally, after a devilishly long ride, We reach a mansion which is bigger than one of my dreams. I think it's right to call it a castle instead of a mansion. My eyes widened in awe as I looked at them.
The car stopped at the entrance and one of them said, "He'll instruct you further." I nodded and walked out. I saw a person in a butler attire smiling at me.
I smiled a little as he said, "Welcome, I am Samuel, the butler of this mansion. You must be Miss Sophie Skye?" He asked and I said, "Yes." Under the pressure of this overwhelming power, my voice came out like a whisper.
He nodded and said again, "Please follow me." And I followed him like a kid. We entered and my heart began to thump with nervousness. The lavishing decors. Anything here is worth more than my lifetime salary. I didn't lift my gaze because I didn't want to embarrass myself.
We reached a dining hall and my heart stopped when I saw a man with a prodigious dominating aura leaning on the wall. A feeling of being an inferior being in this presence of crushing power filled me.
He turned and looked at me. My gaze met his exquisite raven one. His piercing gaze looked at my petite form. His eyes scanned me for a second as he walked closer. My throat dried as I couldn't produce a single sound.
He walked closer and stood in front of me, his unnatural eyes never leaving me and giving an eerie feeling of fright.
I then noticed his other features and he is even more handsome than the pictures. Perfectly combed black hair along with a beard that matches his superior presence. He's gorgeous like an ancient Greek God, a flawless beauty. A skin which is perfectly tanned by the sun. I quickly turned my gaze away from his mesmerizing features and looked at the ground.
"Sir, She is Miss Sophie Skye." He hummed in response and Samuel left without saying a word, leaving me alone with this supreme guy.
Our gaze met for a second and I muster some courage to produce a single sound in his highness presence,
"Good Evening, Sir." I can't possibly call him by his name. He evoked a feeling of contempt in me.
"Come," That's all he said and I swear even his voice is heavenly. I tentatively nodded and took a seat.
He sat on the head of the house chair as I looked away. I feel like I can't speak in his presence, not until he allows me. Being consumed by the ultimate power, I waited for him to talk and he did,
"How old are you?" He asked. My dried lips answered, "21."
"How educated are you?" He asked again. "I completed my graduation two years ago."
He just asked two questions and I can't say anything more. I hoped that he might not ask any more questions and surprisingly he didn't.
There was a silence that was crushing me by each passing second. Soon, the food was served and his eyes were observing my every move.
I thanked God for the past six months in the hotel because I've seen people eat and learn quite a lot from it. I picked the right spoon and began to drink my soup. After being satisfied that I'm eating correctly, he began to drink his soup as well.
The dinner was silent and none of us said a single word. After dinner, I thought of breaking the silence by asking him to send me home but he spoke up first,
"I want you to know a few things before marriage," He sternly said and since I am too immersed in the ambience, I just gave him a nod.
"You won't expect love from me and will please me whenever, wherever I want." He stopped for a second and all those helpless feelings faded away as anger took over me. How dare he? If he's rich he can't use me like that.
Becoming furious I replied, "Excuse me Sir, But I am not a whore. Kindly, Look for another girl, I'm not a sellout." I became angry and stood up to leave. I turned to leave but I heard him,
"Wait, I haven't completed myself," He said authoritatively, I swear if he said another stupid word, I'll slap him, I don't care who the hell is he but I am not a plaything. I turned and saw him standing so close to me, my breath hitched as I took a step back.
"That's the reason I want to marry you. I'll give you my name, my money and everything you desire. In return I just want two things from you." He said.
"W-What?" I shuddered in fear.
"Loyalty and Satisfaction." My heart skipped a beat as I took a step back. Fright took over me as I spoke in a vague tone, "What I-if I r-refuse?"
He smirked and took a step closer. My body became numb as dread consumed my body. The anger which induced me evaporated in an instant and was replaced by his presence that deluged me in fright.
"You can't. I'll afford all the expenses of your brother's treatment and fulfill your greatest wish; A sweet home for your mother." He said and his lips curved upwards triumphantly; leaving me speechless. How did he know about my greatest wish?
My lips began to quiver as he took another step closer,
"I'll give you a week to think about it." He said. My trembling form lost its strength and wants to run away from this tribulation. Away from him.
"But, remember one thing, Sophie," My whole being lost its senses when he called my name. My throat dried and my energy- which was very little of left, was also deprived from me.
He continued to walk closer and somehow some courage blessed me and I took a step back and he continued to say,
"Once this is started, You are stuck."
My body drowns in the pools of apprehension as he continued to say a sentence by each step,
"You'll be mine to claim."
"Your body, Your soul will belong to me"
"I'll never tolerate anyone who tries to think about you the way I do."
"You can never cheat on me."
He stood in front of me and I shut my eyes in terror. The fear anticipated by the fact that he can do the unimaginable to me causes me to break miserably. I felt his hot breath on my face as he said the last sentence,
"I'll give you whatever you desire and you give me what I desire."
What do you think of this chapter? Don't forget to share your thoughts~
"I'll give you whatever you desire and you give me what I desire."I slowly opened my eyes and met his menacing gaze as tears brimmed in my eyes,"It's a fair deal."He said and got away. I let out rapid breaths in dread and turned to leave but I heard him saying, "Just a week."I wiped my tears and left with my shaky form, submerged in his apparition.The driver offered to drop me home but I refused because I don't want to be in that abhorrence filled mansion anymore.I took a taxi and went home filled with undesirable thoughts. I just knew that- this guy can never be the one I deeply hoped to meet. That he can ever be that Knight I used to admire till now. A loveless marriage is something I never want but I have no choice. I want Eugene to recover and for it I have to do it even though I don't want to…Filled with unwanted thoughts and great fears, I went home. Mother came and I looked at her.“What happened Dear? Are you alright?" She asked, tensed. I tilt my head and left for my r
He asked decently. ‘Where was this manner when we were alone?’ Still being bewildered by his sudden appearance, I remained stoic and my mother said, "Ask Sophie."When Mother said that, I looked at him. He looked at me with his void gaze. Since I was too shocked to say anything I stood still and being irritated by my lack of response, he asked,"Can I have a glass of water?" Mother nodded and left. After mother left he shook me, dragging me out from my thoughts."What are you thinking? Come, We need to talk." He said- no he ordered. My lips formed a thin line as I looked away. Mother came with a glass of water and I said. "I'll go and change." I went to my room and realized I am still in my messy form. I quickly changed in my casual red checked shirt and black jeans. I combed my hair and walked out. I didn't dare to meet his dire gaze as I left with him.We left and being a gentleman- from outside, he opened the door for me. He was driving and the crushing silence took over once agai
"This marriage will be toxic for both of us."I said and got out of the car. I feel so broken, how low he wants me to fall low in my own eyes?‘Not that I have sold myself to him but also made this whole ordeal a damn contract.’ I felt like I was being pricked by the shards of glass that are present in my path, they dug into my skin by each step I take further in my life. First Eugene accident, then the burden of responsibilities over my shoulder and now I want to liberate myself from this burden by receiving the pain of my inferior act. ‘What's wrong if I want to fulfill my wishes?’Filled with those undesirable thoughts, I went home. Mother came and asked."How was it?" her tone lingers with interest, basically it was my first drive and was my first dinner with a man, I can understand her. I have always avoided relationships and I feel like this loveless marriage falls flat on my face just because I never involved myself in love; So fate decided to give me an unloved life.I loo
We came home and saw Christian walking out of our house. My heart skipped a beat when my hazel eyes met his onyx one. I wish we could come back later. I remain still because I lose my posture whenever he is near.He walked closer and said,"Mrs Skye, Sophie, sit in the car, I need to show you and Mrs Skye your new home." I looked at Mother and then him and gave him a nod. We left with him.We stopped in front of another mansion. Mine and mother's mouth gaped as we quickly closed it afterwards.I looked at him and I and Mother said at the same time, "You don't have to."He looked at us with a perfectly raised eyebrow, "It was part of the deal." He said and got out of the car and so did we."I know, but it didn't say for a mansion." I tried to reason."She's right, You don't have to." Mother also said. He looked at us confused but soon gained his stance and walked towards me and my heart began to race as I took a step back.But thankfully, without sparing a glance at me, he took a ho
A woman with beguiling looks and charm which is impossible to resist was seen in the mirror. That woman's appearance can make anyone fall for her. Her bewitching looks, the enthralling form of hers; Like some fascinating angel who comes right from heavens. Her features were enhanced a million times when the veil was put over her and she looked at her reflection for the last time. The divinity there may seem but not though. I can see what others can't. I can see everything but myself in it. I am not here. It's not me. It's a beauty, no, beauty is not enough to explain how I am looking; exquisite. The elegance and grace, it's not mine. They can see a lavishing wedding of a woman with angelic features with a man as handsome as ancient Greek Gods. The irresistible man of a perfect dominating aura. Fakeness is getting bound eternally with lust as a constant reminder of misery which leads to this day. That's what they call facades. The demeanor used to hide the actual one. “I
He moved closer and held my chin. Indulging each moment, he lifted my chin and snaked his arms around my waist and pulled me close.I let out a gasp as I looked at his eyes; clouded by crepuscular feelings. Time passes slowly as if it has stopped. He moved closer and our lips brushed against each other. My dried lips made contact with his delicate lips as he kissed me. My first kiss to a guy who is almost a decade older than me. My first kiss to a person who doesn't love me...The kiss started with delicacy but held no emotions. He moved his experienced lips tenderly and dazzlingly. But when he kissed me and I stood still; frozen as a tear threatened to fall but I didn’t let it. His hand cupped my cheek to deepen the kiss- or I thought so. He wiped the tear that was present on the corner of my eye and pulled away. ‘What the- Does it even matter when I have sold myself?’For a second I thought it was love but I know it better than anyone else that love is impossible in this toxic
“And you will satisfy my desires from now on.”He continued that soothing action but to me it was torture. His touch has only one thing in my heart; repugnance.The feelings he has induced within me in just a few moments made me petrified because if I can't spend a few moments with him, how can I spend the rest of my life?What is killing me the most is that his touch is not rough at all. It was tender. He was gently moving his hands. “I know…”Touching me softly, treasuring me but not loving me. The touch was affectionate but not loving. I can't understand his intentions.“Exactly. All authority to your
My eyes slowly opened when the sunlight penetrated through the curtains. I adjusted my vision and the realization hit me like a truck.I realized that my soul is corrupt now. I have lost my innocence, my purity.‘I successfully bargained for my virginity.’I have just survived the most horrendous night of my life. Depression took over me in just one day, I'll turn insane but I have no choice but to keep these feelings in my heart and bear this undesirable feeling of being used over and over again.I shifted my gaze and saw Christian standing in front of me. My eyes widened in horror as I quickly sat up and pulled the duvet over me to hide my exposed form.
