Arranged

Chapter 10

Gina POV
It's been weeks since I read that note Mit sent me. I remember being in shock. I tried calling him but he wouldn't pick up. I got ready and went downstairs with no option left. The driver was standing by the car with a sad look on his face. He took me to the airport where I was headed for California. I don't know why I followed his orders but I did. After a long flight I ended up reaching his mansion which had a few maids and cooks everywhere. Typical for him. I settled in feeling lost waiting for Mit to come back.

It feels like a lifetime has passed but it's been 5 weeks. A knock on the door interrupts my train of thought. It was just Nancy the Nanny. She became one of my best friends who I confided in. She was like another mother to me always giving me the best advice. I told her everything and she's the only one who really knows what's going on. She comes in with a tray of food asking me to eat. I haven't been feeling well and sadly I couldn't find it in me to go do fun stuff. She made me soup and also made me a sandwich. She promised she'd get me a burrito from chipotle. She hasn't gotten it.
"Where's my burrito" I say
"Sweetie, I'm not gonna get it. I'll come with you to get it but you have to go outside its been over a month since you haven't left." She said
"But-" I say
"We need to take you out and have a spa day. girl, it'll be fun. Just get out of the house." She says.
"No maybe another time" I say
"B-but" she began
"No, I'm not ready to go out. Not today." I say
She doesn't argue and leaves. I sit back down in the same position all day. I decide to go downstairs and sit in the living room. You know change it up a little bit. I sat down and picked up a newspaper. I read through it until I stopped at a certain spot that caught my attention. There was volunteers needed at the local hospitals after a major accident had injured at least 150 people. Before I went into the field of business I always wanted to be a doctor. I have always had the passion to help others. I always let my parents dreams come before mine and I seem to have never really lived my own life. Though I couldn't knowing how persistent my parents were of wanting me to do something. Now, I want to live life for my own self. I'm married but I'm alone. Plus, who in California would recognize me. I'll make up a white lie if anyone does catch me. Nancy comes in the room asking why I am showing an emotion other than sadness on my face. I talk to her about the volunteering at the local hospital and though she's hesitant at first, she thinks it'll help me. I need to do something about being depressed all the time. I figured I could start somewhere.

The next day I go to the hospital and apply for the program. Later in the afternoon I get a call from the hospital saying that I passed all their tests they had me do and I would be working tomorrow. They did ask if I was married and I answered truthfully saying I was. They asked what he did and I told him he was a businessman. No need to lie right? And it was the truth. The only part I forgot to tell them was that he is THE Mit Patel CEO of R&S Corp.

*5 months later*

I have been working at the local hospital for about 5 months now and I have made some really good friends. There have been those on occasion that have flirted with me but they back off once I tell them I'm married. Others, don't believe I'm married cause they have never seen my husband. Though, they have all invited me and him to the spectacular Christmas party so they can finally meet the lucky man who has my heart. Sadly, they do not know my life is exactly the opposite of that. It's been almost 6 months that I haven't seen him or talked to him. It's almost Thanksgiving and I don't know what I'm going to do. I can't be with my family because I'm supposed to be in London with Mit. I feel like going against him all the time but I don't know, I feel like it'll make me get into a bigger mess if I went anywhere without him.
