Yours

Chapter 3

Hi everyone. So I know I left y'all high and dry and I'm sorry for that. I hope you can forgive me. If I start explaining all the reasons I stopped writing, it will be more than 2 chapters to explain but one of the reasons I can explain is I got scared because of dark novels that were getting constantly reported and taken down. This story has been in my head for years and it is a dark novel. So upon hearing dark novels were getting reported, I had no way of turning the book into something that wasn't dark so I lost motivation. Anyway I'm back but I can't promise consistency cos I'm about to start this semester's exam but I'll try and not go months between updates again. So....enjoy❤️❤️❤️❤️

I woke up to the sound of argument coming from downstairs. I quickly put on my robe over my nighdress and headed down.
"What do you mean he wants her to transfer to his school?" I heard my mom ask. I stopped in my track. Transfer to Nicholas's school? Why would they want that???
"It's part of the new agreement, Mrs Chambers",said a voice. I peered over the railing to see who was talking. It was a man in really expensive suits and slicked hair.
"What new agreement, Mr Keith?",asked my dad.
Mr Keith opened his briefcase and brought some papers out.
"It states here that a month ago, you contacted Mr Mecozzi and his son to request an extension in your daughter's marriage citing her graduation as an excuse, am I correct?"
"Yeah...I mean you were there. So what is going on?",my mom asked expressing all our confusion at the turn of event.
"As it is",continued Mr Keith, "out of the goodness of their hearts, they decided to go ahead with your wish. However with a condition which is for Reine to transfer Royal High pending her graduation and marriage".
"Why do they want that?", I finally speak up from my hiding place.
"Well, it is the wishes of Mr Mecozzi for your fiancé, Mr Nicholas to keep a  closer eye on you as the months leading to your marriage is a dangerous one and that can only be done if you are closer to each other", he stated calmly as if it was an everyday thing and it probably was for him.
"His wishes? Closer eye on me???? I'm under fucking lock and key everyday. There are security freaking cameras all over my house!!!! I have men tailing my every move anytime I'm chanced to go out and that's not enough for them??? I have no freedom anywhere", I screamed out in frustration.
"That is their wish", he says as he packs his back. "As their Lawyer and a well wisher , I would advice you not to fight them on this", he says in finality.
"Get out of my house ", my dad says
"Good day", said Mr Keith.
As soon as he leaves, I fall to the floor wishing I could go back to sleep and all this would be a bad dream. But my life is the bad dream.

"Stop biting your fingers", my mom
said.
"I can't, mom. I'm so nervous", I said quietly. And a whole lot of scared because I'll finally be meeting him today. The last time I heard anything from him was a year ago when we had our "engagement". That was when my mini perfect life went down the drain. I remember it as clear as yesterday.
"I'm always under surveillance. Why else do I have to go to the same school as him?", I whispered to my mom. She sighs and pulls me into a hug.
"You're going to be okay, Reine"
I hear a horn and look out the window to see a limousine waiting.
"They really went all out", my mom said bitterly.
I pick up my bag and move towards the door with my mom. There was no point in delaying the inevitable and I really didn't want to make a bad impression as a late comer on my first day in this new school.
"Take care, baby" my mom says as I step into the limo.
I wasn't prepared for when I would see Nicholas again. He was sitting so relaxed with his arms crossed and staring at me so intensely I felt self conscious as I entered the limo. First thing I noticed was his school uniform;Yeah, I know, I said school uniform. Apparently, the school is not only old money but old fashioned too. He was only wearing the pants, shirt and jacket with no tie making him look like he was going to any other place except school. I sat across from him and my school skirt rode up exposing my thighs. Really, what school wears uniforms especially this kind? Mine consisted of a white shirt, black blazer, black and white striped tie, a short pleated skirt and thigh socks. I argued with my mom about my decision to wear track shorts under my skirt but she won the argument. Now I'm seriously regretting losing that battle.
I decided to say something to remove the awkwardness.
"Good morning, Nicholas", I sad quietly.
He stared at me from top to bottom lingering on my socks and sneakers before finally speaking.
"I like my girls on heels ,Reine. Thigh high heels to be specific. As my fiancée, take note of this. I want them in school and in bed before I fuck you", he said and stared out the window.
I colored a deep shade of red. I can't believe he just dropped that as if he was talking about what he had for breakfast. He really is shameless. I nodded but in my head is another answer. I am never ever wearing heels to school. If he wants heels, he is free to wear it himself. But I dared not say that out loud because for all of my sassiness in my head, he is still a scary son of a bitch and I'm scared of him.
"Where is your ring?", he asked still staring out the window. I pulled my makeshift necklace out to show him the ring. No, I don't love Nicholas neither do I love the ring. I just didn't see a reason to announce to everyone in school I was engaged. I would have left it at home but the stupid ring had a tracker in it.
"Put it on",he said.
"But..."
"Put the fucking ring on,Reine" he said with finality.
I quickly unclasp the neck and pulled out the ring. He suddenly grabbed my hand with the ring before I could put it on my finger. He grabbed the ring from me and slid it on my finger with so much force that I got scared he'll break my finger.
He grabbed my face with his other hand and pulled me close to him.
"This never ever comes off your finger again", he said so calmly I scared of his silent threat of what would happen if I ever pulled the ring off. I quickly nodded my head and he finally released my face.
"We're here", he said as the car came to a stop in front of the school.
I grabbed my bag and stepped out of the car after him, praying to God my first day in this school would be better than the morning I've had.
