EMMA POV
“Wh……what do you mean Brian!”I asked as he began to walk towards me
“You heard me perfectly Dora,You aren’t expecting me to repeat myself”He said as he kept on coming to me
I kept on moving back until I felt the wall behind me
“You can’t be serious about this Brian, You don’t want me! “I said,Wanting him to see reason
“Do I look like some one who is not serious! You’ve Taken away the one true thing that belonged to me,Why don’t I take some thing that belongs to you too”He said and pulled me by arm pushing me on the bed
“No Brian,You don’t want to do this!”I begged as I moved away from him but he got on the bed and pulled me by my legs
“No Brian, Don’t do this”I begged
“Why act like a vrgn,One thing I know about you is that you are not one, You’ve always slept around with the first guy you meet,So why should I be different,Just think of me as one of those guys”He said tossing off his jacket.
He began to unbutton his shirt and each time I try to get up,He will push me back on the bed.
He was shirtless when he pulled me up and kssed me
I pushed him, Hit him, Scratched him but nothing worked
He only wanted to exact his revenge on me and what he doesn’t know is That am not as experienced as he thought me to be.
Am not Dora who have been sleeping around with a lot of men,Am just a 24 year old virgin,Who have been forced to live a lie.
While he fumbled with the zip of my dress,I felt the tears slip off my face and it seemed like he felt too because he stopped
I had my eyes close but I could feel his gaze on me.
He stood up suddenly and I opened my eyes to see him standing by the window.
“You acting like a scared virgin doesn’t suit you at all”He said still starring out of the window
He turned to stare at me and said with venom In his voice “You make me sick” and then he left.
“He is only angry! He is only angry”I kept on telling myself as I layed on the bed and let the tears pour out
“You make me sick” Those words kept ringing in my head and I realise that I was more hurt by those comment because he is the first guy have ever fallen for and the only one who Hates me so much…………..
I woke up the next day to find him in the room.
I had slept off and I didn’t notice when he got back
He was speaking on the phone and if he saw me,He pretended not to.
I stood up and went to my luggage which had Not been unpacked
“Don’t bother to pack,As soon as you are ready,We will be leaving “He said
“But we just arrived here yesterday and we are meant to stay here for a week “I said and he stared at me for the first time that morning
“You really want us to spend a week together?”He asked
“I thought we had to,For appearance even if we don’t …….mean it” I replied
“If you are perfect in lying,Am not perfect in doing so And the sooner I stay away from you,The better”
“Am only giving you half an hour to get changed,If you aren’t ready by then, You can get back to the palace your self”He said and went out of the room.
I finished in thirty minutes and as soon as I went out of the room, We left the suite.
Through the ride back to the palace,I kept on thinking about last night!
What if he had forced himself on me,What would I have done,I thought as I sneaked a peek at him.
He was back to being the busy man, He had his laptop with him and was also making an important call.
As soon as we got back to the palace,He went straight to his study and lock himself up.
I was taken to The bed room by the head of the maid,Who made it clear to me that the room belonged to Brian and that since am his wife now,I will be staying with him.
“If you need any thing your Highness,Just ring the bell”She said before leaving the room
Instead of lady Dora, Am now being addressed as her Highness,What a total sham this is.
I was unpacking my clothes when the door opened and he walked in
“Why are you here?”He asked
“This will be my room from now on”I replied gently
“Says who?”
“Says our marriage,You are my husband Brian and they will expect to see us in the same room”I said
“I don’t care,I want you out of my room, Seeing you here makes me mad”He said as he pulled me out of the room,Locking the door .
Knowing that he won’t open the door,I left the room and went for a stroll in the garden.
A chair had been placed there,So I sat down there and enjoyed the quietness of the place
My phone began to ring and I answered without looking at the caller
“How is the honey moon going my darling sister?”Micheal floated to my ears
“If you are expecting a romantic interlude between Brian and I just forget it”I said angrily
“Really? Is Brian being a jerk to you?”He asked mockingly
“Just tell me why you called me,I don’t have time for your darn questions”
“I just called to know how you are fairing with the new husband”
“Well he just kicked me out of the room, How do you really expect me to get his money when he hates me with passion,You should have just allowed Nina to do it”
“Have lost all faith in Nina,Nina is greedy and she wants every thing for herself, I can’t trust her,You are the only one I trust right now”
“Don’t you think that i might betray you too”I said and he laugh
“For one thing you can’t because you know your dad life is in my hand,so be a good girl and try your best to get your husband attention, Am counting on you my lovely sis”He said and switched off the phone.
I sighed sadly and thought of where I would be sleeping tonight
BRIAN POV
I sat in my study,Dealing with some late work, Ever since the merger,business has been running smoothly and have always been busy.
Working late has been the only thing that keeps me going.
Its been a week now and nothing from Nina and each time I go back to the room to see Dora laying on the floor ,I always wish it was Nina.
Am sure that the same thing will happen tonight too, So I wouldn’t have to go to the room, I stayed late in the study and there are times that I sleep off too.
I will just have to work late this time, I don’t want to see her and be reminded of Nina.I thought
The door opened and one of the guards walked in
“Sorry to intrude your Highness but a Mr Hopkins is asking of you “He said
“Let him in , Hurry”I said quickly and he left and soon Mr Hopkins walked in bowing
“What news do you have for me?”I asked
“It’s still the same thing your Highness” He replied
“You still haven’t found her yet?”I asked
“Its like Miss Nina disappeared from the face of the earth”He replied
“Could it…..be that she w…..has been killed?”I asked
“We can’t jump to that conclusion yet” He replied
“But there is no sign of her? You have been searching for a week now and nothing”I said
“Yes we have been searching for a week and we haven’t found her,It doesn’t mean that she is dead”He said
” I think there is some thing fishy in all this,Have a look at this footage your Highness”He said putting his camera in front of me
“As you can see in the footage,She got into the limo,The car is expected to pass through the bond Street and it wouldn’t take us 30 minitues to pass through it but it took them an hour and half to pass through it”He said
“I remembered that they had been late to get to church,Could this be why?”I asked
“I think so, Take a look at this other footage, it was nearby and it caught her getting back into the limo”He said
“This certainly isn’t Nina”I said
“You are right!,She is not the one getting back into the car,From my own perspective I think for that time the car was missing? Nina already left the car giving your wife the chance to get in, I think that she knows where Nina might be”He said
I put the laptop down,Feeling angry, So she knew where I could find Nina and yet she didn’t say a thing,How cruel can she be? I thought
“Keep on doing the search, I will have a word with my wife”I said as I led him to the door.
As soon as he left, I went in search of Dora.
EMMA POV
I had just gotten out of the bath room , Very soon Brian will be coming to sleep and I don’t want him to see me awake.
Every night before he comes back to the bed room,I would already be on the make shift bed which I had always made to sleep on.
I had thought that he meant it when he threw me out of his room a week ago but on that same day he had called me back and made it clear that he wouldn’t be sleeping on the couch or the floor.
I had made it clear to him that I dont mind sleeping on the floor and since that day have been sleeping on the make shift bed.
Its better than sleeping in different room and getting attention on ourselves
I was about to take off the towel when he walked in, He Hadn’t knock as he always did before.
“You could have knock”I said starring at him .
He looked angry and am sure that that anger was directed at me, What is the matter now? I thought starring at him
“Why didn’t you tell me that you knew where Nina is? ” He asked
“Why are you suddenly asking “I asked
“Don’t act like you dont know what am saying, I mean it Dora? Where is Nina!!!”He yelled angrily.
