Arrange Marriage (Bughead)

Chapter 7

BETTY

I toss and turn before fully waking up due to the sun hitting my face. I groaned as I lifted myself from the bed turning to the side and looked at the clock on the night stand. It was 7:47 not so late but later than the time I usually wake up.

I looked around noticed that I wasn't in my room. Strange. Then it all hit me I wasn't in my house at all I was at my future husband house.

My question is how did I get in bed. I lifted the duvet of me and notice I was changed from my dress to my pajamas. Did he change me? He saw my scars. Fuck. I panicked.

I looked at my arm. Luckily my scars aren't that visible so if he did change me in the night he probably didn't notice them. Right.

I got off bed and went to the restroom, did my business. Turned the shower on and left the restroom to what I would believe is the closet. Opening the doors thinking it would be a simple closet no it was a huge walk in closet. My eyes widened, I've never had a walk in closet.

Though the one back home was pretty big but wasn't a walk in closet. I walked in and noticed all my stuff were arrange plus's a few other items they included. I grabbed a black long sleeve v neck shirt some blue jeans and my undergarments.

I headed back to the bathroom and showered. I got out of the shower, change and wrapped my hair in towel. Leaving the restroom I walked to the huge vanity across the restroom. Did a light makeup, brush my hair, blow dried it and put it up in a tight ponytail.

I didn't know what to do after I wasn't ready to face him. If it was actually him who change me. There was a knock on my door breaking me out of my thoughts. I stood up from the vanity and open the door.

"Good morning Ms Cooper I'm Toni, Jughead's assistant and I was sent you wake you up for breakfast, but it seems that you're awake" she seems familiar. I know I saw her somewhere...oh.

"Were you the one that picked up that ring like a few days ago." I questioned

"That's right that was me, glad to see you again"

"I knew you looked familiar it just didn't click, so your Jughead's assistant then"

"Yes I am and will be here for you to if you need me. Now please follow me, breakfast is ready and Mr Jone's is waiting for you"

I did, she lead me down the stairs to the kitchen that was formed into an L. There he was to, one hand holding his phone and the other one holding a fork.

"Mr Jones, she here" Toni said notifying Jughead.

He dropped his fork and turned off his phone as he faced us. "Thank you Toni your dismissed" Toni nodded leaving

I walked towards him and took a seat next to him where there was a plate of food next to him.

"How'd you sleep" he questioned

"Um great actually" I replied

He hummed in response as he ate his food. I kept looking down at my food afraid to eat too much.

"You're not hungry" I jumped a bit.

"W-what" I stuttered.

"You're not eating and just playing with your food". Shit he noticed.

"Oh sorry I was just lost in my thoughts" I assured

"Here" he said sliding a small red box from the table to me. "Wear it and don't leave the house without it."

I lifted my head as I stairs at the box "What is it" I questioned. I had an idea what it was but I wasn't sure.

"It's a ring, and I'll leave you your personal black card for your expenses" he said like nothing. I was here expecting he wasn't rude.

That was it no proposal or nothing just giving me a ring and money. I get this was arranged and we both don't want this but I would at least expect something better.

"Right, okay" I said, I didn't argue much afraid that he would yell or do something to me and I don't want to risk that.

"I left a spare key in your room, if you need anything thing ask Fangs he will be taking you wherever you need to go and be with you anywhere." He finished. 

Silence.

I hate silence I always think I did something wrong and start overthinking. "I'm heading off to work, you're allowed to tour the house but don't enter my office at the far end of the house." He added before leaving.

I'm alone now. I kept looking over the red box beside me. I sigh befor grabbing the box and opened it. Shit. This is the ring Tony picked up from 'La Petite Bijoutière' a couple days ago. The ring was for me.

I took the ring off its box and placed it on my ring finger. It fit perfectly. How did he know my ring size.

The ring was gorgeous, the huge diamond shined. I remember putting the initials to how did it not click to me. I flipped my hand and there it was 'E.J' under the ring.

This is so wrong. I'm not proud of this but I'm doing this to satisfy my parents. I marring someone who doesn't care about me, who just left a while ago leaving me with a ring and his money. I groaned in frustration.

After breakfast I went back to my room and checked my nightstand. There it was, his-my-black card and the spare key. I grabbed both the card and key and placed it in my purse.

Headed out my room to the living room. I was heading to the front door but noticed someone sitting on the couch. They typed something on their phone before putting it away and looked at me

"Good morning Mrs Jones"

"Copper I'm not a Jones yet" I corrected trying not to sound so harsh.

"Sorry I just saw the ring and assumed, apologies. Im Fangs your personal bodyguard and chauffeur" So this is Fangs.

"Sorry if I was being a bit harsh earlier I was bit caught off guard, but please call me Betty. If it no issue can you take me to La Petite Bijoutière" I said

"You weren't harsh at all, and I'll try calling you by your name but I make no promises." He laughs. I smiled.

"It's also not issue at all, please follow me" he said walking beside me to the from door. He opened the door and stayed at the side holding the door open allowing me to walk out.

I followed him to the car parked at the side of the house. He opened the back door and waited till I got inside and closed it afterwards. He walked around the car and got into the driver seat and started the car, driving off the driveway and to the road making our way to my job.

I know I live with a billionaire but that's not my money and I need to make money on my own to finish building my business, on my own. Plus I love my job and wouldn't leave it if they told me to.
