Married to Mr. Reid

Chapter 15

Amber

"You really enjoy flirting with my friends don't you?" Isaac spat as soon as we were inside his car.

"Blame me all you want but I know what I was doing so there's no need for me to explain anything to you, we are not in some committed relationship so I don't know why something like that would even bother you in the first place" I said and that really shut him up, his jaw was set, eyes focused on the road as he drove without saying anything else to me.

I felt exhausted even though I've slept for like nine hours, waking up and doing nothing in this place which is now like my prison and will be for the next six months didn't feel good at all.

Isaac didn't say a single word to me after I lashed out at him last night and this morning when I woke up, he was already gone and so was Ethan.

The day passed by in a blur for me because I spent most of it on my phone looking at old photos of me from when I was a free bird, I talked with my mother and a few of my friends who wanted to come over but I told them the villa is getting renovated so they'll have to wait.

It was around 9pm when Isaac came back and the first thing he did was give me the file from yesterday again, I guess he got it corrected from his lawyer, there's no way I'm taking his money!

I was half way through the file which somehow looked a lot thicker today when I read something that made my blood boil.

"Are you fucking serious?"

"What?" he asked back innocently as if he doesn't know anything.

"It says here that I'm not allowed to flirt or try to seduce any of your friends" I said trying to keep myself calm.

"Yep, whatever you have going on with Jack, you'll have to give it up" he spoke nonchalantly.

"You're an asshole Isaac... you think accusing me is going to heal your wounded male ego?" I ask but all he did was smirk in a sinister way.

"Don't be so upset by the fact that your friends are capable of treating your wife better than you ever could, they haven't forgotten their mannerisms atleast" I said, standing up I went over to Isaac and took the pen he was holding in his hand.

I signed the fucking papers and threw them on the bed "Here take it"

"You didn't even read the entirety of it" he stated in a rather grave tone.

"I don't need to... I know there must be something in there that would anger me again so it's better if I don't read it at all" I am no fool, I'm sure Isaac must have planned all sorts of rules, regulations and impositions on me and he won't back away from any of them.

"Don't complain afterwards" he warned bending a little to pick up the file.

"Oh I won't, what's the worst you can do? Imprison me in your fucking house for the next six months... guess what, I think I'll somehow survive it" I said but then a certain thought crossed my mind but I shook it off, there was no going back from this, what's done is done.

He looked at me for a breif second and then turned around to walk away, I sighed heavily and went back to reading or atleast tried to but what happened just a few minutes ago kept replaying in mind.

Who the hell does he think he is?!

My phone started going off, it was my mother, I immediately picked it up hoping to find comfort in talking with her.

"Hey mom, how's everything going?" I asked in a rather cheerful tone and heard her sob

"Mom what's wrong?" I asked sitting up straight

"It's your grandma" she said and I could hear another sob escape her lips, my blood ran cold at the mention of her.

"Mom what's wrong? Please tell me if grandma's alright or not" I said standing up.

"Sweetie I'm so sorry but she has left us" came my mother's reply and for a moment it felt like the world has stopped, I stood there with the phone still pressed to my ear, I tried to say something but the words somehow got stuck in my mouth, it felt like my mind has stopped working and then it all sank in.

"Honey are you there?" my mom asked from the other end and a loud sob escaped my lips, I started crying.

"Mom how... she was completely fine at my wedding... how?" I asked trying to wipe the tears away with the back of my hand but they still kept falling, I couldn't control them.

My mom didn't answer, instead I heard her cry and that was it for me, I need to be there with her.

"Mom you're at grandma's right?" I asked just to confirm and she said yes inbetween her crying.

"Don't worry I'm coming" I told her before hanging up and threw my phone on the bed.

I stood there for a good minute thinking and trying to process all that has happened in the last few months, first Tyler, then dad, and now grandma. I started crying again thinking about everyone who has left me alone to survive in this cruel world, I always try to appear tough infront of others but that does not mean that these things don't affect me, it hurts, it hurts so bad right now.

I got on my knees and tried to control my erratic breathing, I have to be strong for mom, I'm the only one she has and I couldn't appear weak infront of her, it'll break her.

After a few minutes I stood up and went to the bathroom to wash my face and change. I need to get there as soon as possible.
