A Matter of Wife and Debt {Ongoing}

Chapter 8

Daniella's Pov

After breakfast, Natalia was droven off to school and Mr grumpy went out for some work which Penelope found very upsetting as it's his first day as a married man.

He's supposed to be on his honeymoon trip, she said.

To be honest it really didn't bother me at all. Afterall, this marriage is clearly based on a contract. And not a love marriage. Sadly.

I helped Penelope in doing the dishes. After that I had a tour of the house. It's so massive that I got tired and decided to stop and continue another day. But not before I saw a garden or should I say a plantation at the back of the house.

It's so massive and beautiful. I could see workers here and there in the field, I had no idea he had something like this here. It's really beautiful, at least I have something that could keep myself busy in this big house. I can join the workers in the field when am free. Seeing how diligent they all seem to be with their work, I guess Mr Ruiz does pay them well.

It's a little after 11 am and everything seemed to be such a bore for me in this room of mine. I wished I had a mobile phone to be able to communicate with Helena who probably has a lot of things to discuss with me.

Why don't I go and pay her a quick visit instead?

Smiling to my thoughts, I came down from the bed and went to the closet. I picked a silk dark green gown with long sleeves. I quickly changed into it and made my hair in a French braid while leaving some strands to dangle at the sides of my temples. I applied a little lip gloss before putting on my sandals and making my way out of the room with a little purse.

Coming down the stairs, I made my way towards the entrance door.

"Dani dear?"

I came to a halt when I heard Penelope's voice calling out to me. I turned to see her standing few feet away from me. She seems to be heading to the kitchen before she saw me.

"Are you heading out, dear?" She asked.

"Yes. Actually I want to pay a friend a visit in my town, buh I'll be back before you know it." I explained sharply.

"Okay. Will you be taking one of the cars so I can inform one of the drivers?"

Cars?

Am I allowed to use any car without Mr. Ruiz's permission?

"Is that allowed without Mr. Ruiz's permission?" I voiced out my thoughts to her.

"Of course, you are his wife afterall. It will be proper to have some sort of excort when going out. You should understand Javier is a very influential man and has enemies too." She said calmly.

It will be nice if I can get a ride, that way I don't have to spend much, I thought to myself. But what if he doesn't like it since I didn't get his permission? He'll be so upset I presume. To avoid those cold eyes of his, I think I'll just pass this offer.

"It's okay Penelope, I think I'll manage just fine without an excort." I said with a small smile.

"I wasn't giving you a suggestion dear. You will have to be excorted for security reasons. Javier won't be pleased if he hears you went out without an excort." She pressed further.

I doubt that he will worry for me in the slightest, but I suppose I'll do as Penelope says.

"Okay then," I said with a small smile.
