His last minute bride

13

I'm a married woman now. Sitting on the huge bed of the gigantic room in Don's house, I guessed was my room. This was what wealth smelt like.

Obviously I'd be getting all the riches I can handle if I stay in this marriage but then would I be happy?

I realized Suzy was all alone in the house. She'd never slept alone. What have I done? I've sold myself for money and left the main reason I did it, alone.

I stood up from the bed, pulling the wedding gown off my body. 

I needed to go back home, I had to take care of Suzy. She needs me, she had said her condition was worsening and obviously she needed someone who'd be there to take care of her.

I had on a white silk dress that was beneath the wedding dress

 The dress lay just below my butt. 

Normally I wouldn't feel comfortable dressed in such short cloth, but I needed to rush to Suzy quickly.

I kicked the heels off my legs, they were starting to hurt my ankle. I was about to leave when I stopped.

What am I doing? Maybe I should think about this before leaving. Maybe I should call Rose and ask her to stay with Suzy tonight as I'd find out what to do tomorrow.

I walked back to the bed where I'd dropped my phone. When I picked it up, I dialled Rose's number.

She picked after the third ring. “Heyo wifey, have you checked the internet? You're literally the talk of the town at every fucking social media.”

I had seen that coming. Obviously everyone would be surprised to see the anonymous fiancee especially after finding out she was no special.

I sighed, I didn't even want to check my social media account, I was too stressed for that and I was sure I'd only get hate comments.

“Whatever, that's not why I called.”

“Then why did you call? I don't even want to know, now tell me, how's the wedding night going?” Her voice was teasing.

“You know fully well nothing's happening.” I scoffed. “Nothing's going to ever happen, I'm already regretting it.”

She chuckled. “Well you can't go back now honey.”

“I know.”

“And don't forget you're doing this for Suzy.”

“Yeah, and speaking of Suzy, could you stay with her for tonight. I don't want to leave the house or else it might stir up the media even more.”

“Oh sorry I can't.” 

I furrowed my brows. “Why?” That's when I noticed the little noise from the background. “Where are you?”

“I'm doing night shifts and can't leave, sorry. I'm sure Suzy's fine. You could give her a call if you're that worried.”

I really didn't want to leave Suzy alone tonight, but I guess it wouldn't be right to leave the house on my wedding night.

“Okay, bye then.”

“Bye love, tell me how your wedding night goes.”

“Trust me when I say nothing's happening tonight.”

“You can never tell.”

I had no time to listen to her so I hung up.

I dialled Suzy's number. A sense of unease settled in the pit of my stomach when I was sent to voicemail.

I tried the number again but to no avail, only making me more anxious.

What if something had happened to her? I had to go home and stay with her. 

This marriage thing was all a mistake. My parents would never have been happy if they were to find out I got married for money, I couldn't live two years like this.

I sauntered out of the room, trying to find my way to the door. This house was too massive, I could lose my way at anytime.

I finally found the door after four minutes. I reached for the knob.

“Where do you think you're going?” Don's stern voice spoke.

I slowly turned to see him resting on a pillar at the center of the massive parlor. He had his arms folded across his chest and an intense glare that only made me afraid.

“I-I want to go home.”

“Home?” He dropped his hand, no longer leaning on the pillar. He started towards me. “This is your home.”

That caused me to pull my brows together in a frown. I had no time for this, I needed to get to Suzy. “This is not my home.” I made that clear.

“What do you mean? We're married.” He stopped at a comfortable gap between us which I was grateful for.

“This whole marriage thing was a mistake, I don't know what I was thinking—”

“So what?” He cut me off in one of the most annoyed tone I'd heard from him. “We're already married. Everyone in the media knows who you are, if you just go back home, that would just create something new for them to talk about.”

“I have to see Suzy.” My words came out straight and my annoyance evident.

“Why? From what I remember you said she was 21 not 2 years of age.”

“Yes, but you missed the part where she has pancreatic cancer.”

“That doesn't mean she can't take care of herself.”

Gosh this guy was heartless. “I'm still going. I'm sorry but as I said already, this marriage was a big mistake.”

I turned to open the door. “Don't leave.” He was still so demanding, argh I hate this guy. “If you do so, you won't get the money for your sister's surgery.”

“I won't sell myself to get the money, I'm sure I'll get it soon.” With that I ran out of the house saying. “Let this be the end of the marriage.”

“Miss Eri!” I ignored his shouting, running to one of his cars.

A bodyguard opened the door to the passenger seat, closing it as soon as I sat in it.

I wondered why the driver was still here in the night but that was something to think about later. 

I gave him my address and ordered him to take me there. When he started the car, it gdl nice having some authority.  

The ride lasted for a long and anxious 15 minutes as I kept on dialling Suzy's number but was still sent to voicemail.

When the car came to a halt in front of the building, I opened the car door, getting out of it immediately slamming it shut.

I rushed to the door, knocking before realizing it was opened.

Why did she leave it open? Was she expecting me to come home tonight? Well, whatever.

I opened the door, closing it when I was inside the house. 

“Suzy.” I called out after noticing the silence coming from the house. 

That only made me more afraid. She wasn't in the parlor.

“Suzy.” I called again scurrying to the room.

My eyes widened in horror as I took in the sight, my mind struggling to comprehend with what I was seeing.

A scream left out of my throat as I saw my sister, only family member, lay lifeless on the floor.
