Unexpected love

Chapter 4

Two weeks have passed and they arranged a meeting for us. Tuesday, 15th of July, 06:00 p.m. And here I am, except that the time is currently 07:15 p.m. Even the rain stopped and the place seems back to normal. There are people passing by the streets, people talking inside the bar and it seems that life is still going for all the people around me, except for me. Here I am together with my train of thoughts, waiting for 75 minutes for my husband to come.

I got to admit. Now this was really getting on my nerves. I decided to stand up and leave. I asked for the bill and was taking the wallet outside my bag, when I just heard a noise. I raise my head and then saw him. There he was sitting in front of me, all calmed down. He looked taller than me, with a very elegant, but firm body.

He looked like he was sculpted by God himself. With dark features and dark eyes, he had a jawline that I felt like it can cut like a paper. He was really handsome, perhaps the most beautiful men I have ever seen. The black suit that he was wearing was highlighting his features even more. But for some reason something felt off. Maybe I was still mad, cause of his punctuality regarding this meeting. But then, when he opened his mouth and said something, I just realized one again that I always should trust my gut feeling.

"You really got some nerve, don't you? I have been watching you from outside since you came and you still waited until now for me to come and meet you. You really are that desperate to marry me, aren't you?"- he said with that deep voice of his.

I had a completely blank face, cause of his words, and when I got myself together, I was ready to say something, but he interrupted me.

"It does not matter. My father wanted me to marry you, in order for him to give me the company. Unfortunately for me, I do not have any other solution, so I had to accept his request and here I am, forced to marry you." He crossed his arms and looked away disgusted.

"Anyway, this is an arranged marriage, and as one, you are going to obey my rules. In front of the others we will be the perfect couple, the happiest one. We will be deeply in love with each other and look like we care to much. We will share the same house, but not the same bedroom. When we are alone, we are going to act like two perfect strangers and ..."

"Well aren't we two perfect strangers?"- I talked for the first time, while staring at him. I really felt like I had lost my voice until now. I did not know how to react and what to say to his attitude, but the last sentence, really brought me back to the reality. I could not stand his behavior anymore. He came late, without introducing himself and started talking like he is the victim and only he has the right to say anything regarding this matter. Like, what about me? What about the fact that I was forced to marry this kind of man, only cause his father is greedy enough to put conditions to his friend in order to save his life. Ironic and irritating at the same time.

He stoped, looked at me and smirked. Like what did he intend by that? Why he smirked like that? What is wrong with this guy?

"You will never ask me where I was, with who I was and why did I come late or anything of that nature. We both will act like we do not live in the same house. I would prefer for you to not be at home, whenever I am, but if there is nothing we could do, you will stay in a room, where I can not see you. We will be married only by papers and do not expect anything from this marriage. We will divorce as soon as I get the company and after that you can go to hell. Any questions?" He said so calmly while staring at me.

I was just staring at him, without a word coming out of my mouth.

"Good", he looked away. I thought thank God this meeting was over, but his last remark, really left me speechless.
