Under the stars

Chapter 13

"And leave it to your mother." He practically growled at the kid and she started crying harder thinking she was in deeper trouble and I was making my way towards her before she bowed quickly, nodded her head and scurried off inside to what I assume are her parents chambers. Sickly enough Santiago seemed pleased with how he handled the situation which just showed his no empathy as a person.

I was in a state of pure rage and it felt as if I could not even regulate normal sentences. "So you watched the starved girl get slapped twice inside and continued to scream and get mad at her outside. Ridiculous you're a disgusting and sick excuse of a human being" I growled out all the fear and warnings of precaution I had received earlier went in one ear and out the other. He chuckled like actually chuckled as if he found the situation amusing and funny. 

"Wendy was out of line and deserved everything she received today and I hope in the future it will teach her to be a bit more respectful of others however I can not say the same about you. If you don't control yourself and watch your mouth, what happened to Wendy will seem like child's play for you. I will let it go as you are ew to the family but I expect you to learn on your own or I will be forced to teach you the hard way." He growled out with no empathy and care left in his voice just a taunting, mocking and threatening tone.

I looked at him tidily, believe it or not I was scared out of my wits but I tried to keep it together and not show my weakness or question the matter any further. "Good, now I believe we have a overdue walk to attend to and I really to hope we have no further issues as it would be a shame" He efficiently linked arms with me and led me to the breath-takingly beautiful garden which I had not noticed on my way here. He just chuckled darkly at my facial expression as a deep crimson over took my face in a state of embarrassment. There was no ue striking conversation with one another as it would die off in a minute or two. Instead we enjoyed the moon's glow and out beautiful surroundings and it seemed to do a sufficient job to make up for the uncomfortable silence.

I tried my best to behave like I really did but I had this itch about Wendy asking him so I did a little prayer before hoping he would not get mad and take matters into his own hands. "So Santiago please don't get mad but I was just wondering why they stopped that girl Wendy from eating she looks no malnourished and she barely ate all dinner" I ran it over in my head like I was delivering lines and added a sweet and polite tone as I observed being rough and rebellious would get me nowhere with this family.

Sensing my dis-comfort it actually seemed like he was trying to put on the kindest tone before replying. "Although as I am very sure you're aware Wendy's eating habits does not concern you but if you were curious to know she has been on a diet for quite a few months and it has seemed to be quite effective. I do hope that from you this issue to dropped and me or nobody else in that house hears of it". I was apprehensive for voicing my true thoughts so for another time tonight I nodded without questions. I really was turning into the quiet obedient trophy wife without the help of anybody else, wow look at me for once of my like I am not incompetent.

He actually seemed quite pleased on the way out night time walk went out which surprised me and as we neared closer to the house he took my hand softly in his and placed a feather like kiss on the top of my hand like the gentlemen he wasn't. It felt so foreign and did not match upto his personality by a long shot making it quite scary and confusing and as we departed I heard his voice call out "Oh and darling tonight was beautiful I enjoyed spending time with you. I hope to see you here tomorrow at the same time. Enjoy your night." 

I watched as his figurine sauntered off into the distance as my face twisted into one of confusion and concern. It was almost like he was bi-polar and thought that since for once he seemed to be in an adequate move I rushed after him to ask him something that has been eating me up from inside for a few hours. He seemed momentarily surprised by my sudden appearance but quickly masked it by putting back up his poker face. "Sorry for disturbing you bur there just has been something annoying me all evening and I just could have been a better person to ask. So anyways I did that checkup today and I asked the doctor what was happening with the results and she kind of told me I would be getting it and I was confused and I was wondering if you knew anything about it" He seemed surprised yet again in one night by my request but quickly composed himself to his usual cold and brooding self. 

"Well traditionally the results never go to the bride herself. It has always been the same in the family which I can unfortunately not change but if it does help I will personally make sure no one apart from me views the results but that is as much as I can do.

I was contemplating my decision but quickly agreed realising that this was my best bet as it was not getting any better than this and whilst I was still uncomfortable with him seeing it it was defined any better than the whole family reading such a private thing I made my way back to my room and and got ready for bed as the events of the day started to feel heavy on my shoulders. Something about me you must know is that when something faces me my obvious solution is just to sleep through it to ease myself and it scary to think that there has never been a time where I have not done this but my thoughts were quickly muted as I fell into a long and peaceful slumber.
