His silent wife

Episode 11

It is all silent when my body jolted awake . I open and closed my eyes as I tried to look at my surroundings . I sighed when I found myself in my bedroom .

Lord, I mumbled and stood up from the bed tired and hungry .

I halted my movement when I thought of what happened  at the party . My heart pounded as I let my eyes fall on the rock that layed on my ring finger .

It look pretty, The ring shined and sparkled on my finger but it did not intimidate me  . I bit my lip trying to fight the tears that threatned to fall from my stinging eyes . I am glad I am alone in my room so that I can cry myself Into oblivion .

I feel suffocated about all this    , How should I tell mother that I don't want to get married to that guy, I don't even know him . Our meeting was mysterious and on top of all , I don't know him .

My legs gave up the energy that I barely had and trampled down on the ground with a thud crying,

please help me lord, I begged as I let the tears fall weakly .

Maybe you could tell your mom tommorrow, She loves you right ? Maybe she will help you and ask for the marriage to be cancelled . My subconscious says to me which made me freeze a little as I process the new information in my head. 

Maybe.. I whispered to myself and wiped the tears swallowing the hardness damp on my throat .

I stood up from the floor and walked to the window of my room and opened the curtain, it is still dark , I wonder how many hours did I sleep .

I yawned and looked at my body only to feel the dress clinging on my body ,

Angrily , I took it off in the point of ripping it off from my body . The stress that I had made me more angry and hot that I wanted to rip it in half .

I should have known and maybe I wouldn't have went into that party, I would have told mom that I am sick and This wouldn't have happened , I whimpered and sniffled as I looked at the dress on the bed .

My stomach rumbled in between . I was hungry and I decided to wear my pajamas and go down and eat as soon as possible .

A minute after I was done ,  I took my flip flops as it was cold and run down the stairs to the kitchen . It was all Silent that it sent chills down my spine .

I walked to the kitchen and switched on the lights ,I opened the fridge and saw  an apple . My mouth watered as I took a bite on it .

I looked deep into the fridge and saw some leftovers .

"Ahh finally," I mumbled hungrily and put the apple on the table and heat the food up .

After the food is done , I took it out from the microwave and sat on the kitchen chair eating up the vegetabled rice and chicken breast that was left .

My eyes moved to the clock that was on the top of the kitchen door .

I didn't care of the time  as I left to fend on myself  at the early hours of the morning feeding my empty stomach . Mom would't have let me eat , i know that .

I ate like I have never eaten before,  this is what feels like to be hungry and desperate to have food , That's why I usually appreciate everything that I get inside this house .

I stood up and opened the fridge again and came out with milk , I took a glass and poured a glass full and gulped it down my throat .

I giggle when I felt my stomach growled with excitement in response .

I finished the food on my plate and sat on the chair satisfied , I took the apple left and ate it immideatly after I put the plate and glass  on the sink .

I sat on the table once more and cross my arms and thanked the lord that I was able to feed my empty stomach and begged for the ones who haven't gotten anything to be blessed with  some thing to eat too .

When I opened my eyes , The ring caught my eye again . I looked at it one more time before I stood up and shaked my head and drank some water and walked to my room early at dawn .

I walk inside my room and sighed deeply  as I sat on my bed thinking what will happen when mom wakes up . I know I am in trouble , I know for a fact that she is going to blame me for everything that has happened yesterday .

I ruined the party , But I didn't mean to , I didn't know how to react , I wasn't even sure if I could say no . i wasn't even told that i was to be engaged.  I wiped the lone tear that fall from my eye and look at my night stand to find my phone .

it's here .. I mumbled and opened it .

I opened the social media, and that's when I saw it .

The pictures of me being carried by that Erick guy , My cheeks reddened when I look at the news heading .

"The powerful Erick Thompson's fiancee Sofia Crowford, Youngest heiress of the Crowford's family faints a minute after her engagement is announced as the reason is unknown  "

That wasn't all, I looked at the comments and it was crazy as I read them .

I shut my eyes and close the phone and out it on the bed sighing,

This .. this is what I didn't want, How am I going to school after all this ? i am pretty sure every one will know when I go back there .

And that can't happen ,I kept on thinking and soon I went to the bathroom, I took a bath and looked at my face on the mirror .

When I saw the redness on the top of my nose , that's when I remembered that it was still recovering .

I am careless , I mumbled .

Soon after I am done , I went out of the bathroom with a wrobe , As I closed the door I got startled when I heard a deep "  Hello, "

I nearly  ran when I heard the manly voice , i immideatly turn and my eyes widened looking at the six foot man with gorgeous hazel eyes that looked at me dressed into a three piece suit sitting on my bed casually  .

What is he doing here ? That's not appropriate !

I averted my gaze on the floor and licked my lips trying to figure out what to say whilst clinging on the door knob of the bathroom .

" Hello , " I whispered back .

What is he doing here ? wasn't he taught how to knock , ?

Excuse me , can you please leave . I .. I .. want to change . I whispered ,

He was silent , I assume he is looking at me like one of his preys.

"Get out of here .."  I wanted to  scream but I knew that wasn't lady like ,

But he is invading your privacy , My subconscious reasoned back .

Umm .. please leave my room , mom won't like it if there's a man here , I don't want to be scolded . I Whispered not meeting his eyes. 

"She gave me the permission to enter , " by the way how are you feeling now ? He asks and walked to me slowly .

I opened the bathroom door in fear incase he wanted to come  close to me and replied with a pounding heart ,

"I am okay thanks for asking . "

Hmm .. I can see that !! He whispers to more like himself but I heard. 

I will see you later at our date night. I don't want to waste any of my time here as I have performed my part . He announced and left my room .

"what does he mean ?"

I didn't realise that I was out of breath until I heard my door being closed and i sighed out frustrated .
