Savannah's pov
My wedding day passed in a complete haze. Mrs Parker sent a hairstylist and makeup artist. I woke up and did as they instructed. I was given breakfast by Rihanna to keep me from fainting. I got ready and Rihanna had tears running down her face. My mother entered to inform we need to start moving to reach on time. For once in my entire life I saw her eyes blur for a second but she instantly left after that without another word.
We reached at the church and I was waiting for my turn to get in. Father came and told me to hold his hand. I despised this but had no choice then to follow whatever said. We walked in and he handed over my hand to Mr Parker. He looked devilishly handsome today wearing a black tuxedo with a beautiful smile and twinkling eyes. He looks like the happiest man alive. It's then when I realised i don't even know his first name.
Whole ceremony he stared at me and when the priest announced we may now kiss my heart beats went wild. It would be my first kiss but who was I kidding why would he kiss someone like me. He pecked at the corner of my mouth and created space immediately. I would hate to admit I was disappointed but let it go.
We left for his apartment after that and I loved the interior but then he took me upstairs and showed the master bedroom.
"Will you share the bedroom or you want to use the spare room? I can understand if you are not ready to share your space yet. Take your time and when you feel you are ready you can move in my room."I was relieved that I had an option here. I agreed with him and replied "it would be a bit difficult to share, thank you for understanding please take me to the spare room." He took me to the spare bedroom which was opposite him.
The room was painted in lavender colour and had a cosy vibe. I saw paper in his hand and asked, "what the papers are about?" and he answered, "you need to sign them and fulfill your end of the contract, so read them all properly. The main clause in all the requirements is you can't leave me if you try to do so I can sue you." His tone was harsh i was scared he will harm me so I gave a nod.
He held my hands and said, "Anna I can't lose you again, this contract is just to make sure you never leave me for any reasons given." I don't know why he said lose me again. He kissed my hands and left. I feel butterflies in my stomach when he does that. I changed my clothes into much comfortable ones and wiped the makeup.
Three knocks on the door and he opened it. He looked so handsome in his casual wear grey track pants and white v neck. "Come downstairs Anna I have cooked food for us" I followed him. The dining table was decorated and soft music was playing in the background.
We took our seats and I scanned the food. White sauce pasta, mashed potatoes and veggies saute in salt and pepper. He served me but I asked for three spoons only. He looked upset but let it go. We started eating and had a light conversation about his work and my studies.
Once we were done he brought chocolate cupcakes with pink frosting. I had two bites because i was already full. We did the dishes together when he asked me, "Anna why did you eat so less? It didn't taste good? Or are you conscious while eating around new people?" he looked a bit upset so I hurriedly ease his worries, "no no Mr Parker its not like that, the food tastes delicious I have never tasted anything like this its just that even if I like I can't eat more than this." I lowered my head with shame.
First day and I already made him worried about my eating habits. He had a serious face, maybe thinking deep about my answer. "May I ask why?" he broke the silence. I didn't trust enough to open up but I wanted to speak to someone about everything.
"I was not allowed to eat more than three to four spoons and with time I stopped eating even that much because it felt like too much for my stomach." He was shocked but didn't ask much. "Let's get to bed, you have had a long day." I got up and we went in our respective rooms.
