Forced to be his wife

Chapter five: The Tears

I was shivering in my wet clothes and hair so I made my way to the room to take shower and changed into my Pjs. After air drying my hair, I went to kitchen. It was 8pm and Carolina was in there.

"I am going home now! Travis just had his dinner and yours is here, Honey." Carolina said putting her bag in the arm.

"thank you! have a good night!" I said with a smile.

I didn't wanna sit on the dining table so I started eating on the kitchen island. Sneezes made my throat sore so I warmed up some water and drank it.

"Tiara! come to my room" Travis shouted leaning on railing upstairs.

After drinking the very last sip of water, I climbed the stairs and walked in his room. The beauty of the room was on another level. I saw him sitting on the chair on the one side of his bed with some papers on the table.

"You need to sign some papers" he shrieked while giving me a pen.

I sat on the opposite chair facing him. I started reading it, it was some kind of contract that states what I am allowed to do or not and in return he will pay our business debt. His glare was fixed onto me the whole time, which was making me uncomfortable.

I read the first clause which states that if he divorces me, I would not be able to ask for any income or his assets as my husband will be paying my family's debt. Being married, I'm not allowed to have any boyfriends. Before I could read the next clause, he interrupted me.

"Don't waste my time Tiara! All you need is to sign them!" He spat rolling his eyes.

I, Tiara Anderson, is not forced to enter this contract and signing this, I am agreeing with all the clauses. I didn't wanna sign it but I have to, as I don't have any option. So whatever! I signed and he snatched the papers from me and he yelled, "Get out now!"

I exited his room and left that rude jerk in his own damn world. Walking in my room, I power on my laptop and tried to contact my dad through messenger as I could not talk to him through my broken phone. I lied to my dad that I was fine and I asked him to parcel my clothes and shoes. To my surprise, he has already sent them.

Gosh! Now I have to ask Travis about the delivered parcel. Should I ask him now or tomorrow? I was double minded as I didn't want to confront him. But then if I don't, I have to wear heels to the college again.

I mustered up enough courage to go ask him. The door was slightly opened, I knocked it twice, no answer....I peeked inside, no one was inside. So I went in to check where he went, the door to my right just bangs open and shocked me. Travis came out of the washroom, I realized that he must have been taking shower. He was shirtless and there was a towel wrapped around his waist.

"What the hell are you doing here?" His eyes flashed with rage.

Before I opened my mouth, he moves closer to me "C'mon tell me" he yelled that instinctively made me close my eyes, scared of what he was going to do. Will he hit me?

I opened my eyes and looked at Travis, he turned his face away from me and was running his fingers through his hair. I began to walk away from his room, to be honest, I was frightened because he looked so dangerous and I hate him.

I ran to my room. Tears blurred my vision, nobody has ever yelled on me in my 17 years of life. All I ever received was love from my dad, and my friends. It was exhausting to take all this hate.

I was laying down on my pillow which was now wet from all the crying. Remembering earlier episode with Travis and my dad's words that Travis is a good person made me cursed at my fate. "I didn't deserve all this hate" I whispered to myself.

He is immoral.

He is inhumane.

He is evil.

He is cold-hearted bastard who doesn't understand emotions.

Thinking what my life has come to, I let the sleep overcome me.

Travis POV

I came out of shower and saw Tiara standing in my room. How dare she come in my room without even asking. Did she come here to steal the contract she signed? These all thoughts made me furious.

"What the hell are you doing?" I asked

She didn't say anything as if she was thinking of an excuse. I moved closer wanting an answer from her.

"Tell me" I yelled and she closed her eyes and put her crossed arms in front of her face to protect herself.

Did she think I was going to slap her or hurt her? I see her face covered with fear of me hitting her.

I was regretting to scare her that she thought of me like that. I clenched my fists turned my face away from her.

That was the first time in my life I felt that I did something wrong. Then she walked out of my room without any explanation.

It was 11pm. Tossing and turning made me tired. I couldn't fall asleep because I couldn't stop thinking about it. I looked for water on the side of my table and the water bottle was empty. I went to the kitchen and drank some water.

I saw Tiara's room's light On and the door was open. I entered the room noticing Tiara sleeping on bed. Her hair were sprawled all over her face and the blanket was on floor. I sat down beside her bed and shoved away all the hair away from her face without waking her up. I couldn't take my eyes off her, she looked pretty even when she was sleeping. Then Sofia' suicide note came flashing in front of my eyes which made me remember the things her brother Jason did to my sister. Without picking the blanket from the floor, I stormed out of her room finding it hard to control my anger.
