Sold to the devil

Old friends

"I guess I am your wife" I say .
He smirks and opens his mouth to say something but stops when Ella walks down the stairs with who I am assuming is Dexter. Ella has jet black wavy hair and piercing blue eyes. She wanted to be a Victoria Secret model since we were younger and she could be. She looks just as beautiful as before but now a huge baby bump covers her usually flat stomach. Dexter is tall and well built. He has brown hair and green eyes. I don't think they noticed our presence.
"Look how fat I look! I look like a fucking whale!" , Ella sobs out,"You don't need to love me! I don't even love me! The twins probably won't love me! No one loves me because I'm a whale!"
Dexter put his arms around Ella and placed his hands on her belly.
"Of course I love you! You're beautiful babe!"
She snuggles in his chest.
"You do love me?" She said sounding like a five year old.
"Yes I love you"
"Okay!" Ella turns her head and her eyes land on me. She jumps out of Dexter 's arms and throws herself on me.

"Katherine!!! OMG! Kat!!"

"Hi Ella" I say with a heart warming smile.
Dexter finally realized he wasn't alone.

" What? Who is she"

"Why are you?" Ella asks .

Chase walks to stand beside me and wraps an arm around my waist pulling me closer. My back immediately stiffens. I think Chase noticed that since he looks down at me and chuckles.

"Katherine is here because we are married"

"What?"Dexter asked confused.

"Wha-wha-what?" Ella whispered sadly. Everyone turns their attention to her. "You got married and didn't invite me! I was your bestie since we were two!!"

She runs up the stairs and Dexter runs after her.

"You see no one loves me!!!" She yells from upstairs.

" Pregnancy hormones " I say to myself.

After a few minutes later Dexter and Ella come back downstairs and Chase explained our new arrangement to the couple. After that , Ella brought me to the living room and filled me in on a few things about the gang. She also talked to me about how Dexter and her fell in love. When she would talk about him , her eyes would light up with joy and love. She's still the sweet lovable Ella I grew up with but now she has more confidence when she talks. She used to always use her long black hair as a shield and she would keep her head down. She used to be sad but now she's happy. She's in love. While we were catching up the boys went to 'complete a task'. Whatever that means.

" You know the guys didn't ask to live a life full of killing, drugs and violence." Ella said at one point.

"They did because they had to survive and take care of their families. Yes they kill, but they don't kill innocent people. They kill 40year old bastards who spend their money on drugs instead of their kids!" Ella continued.

" I know you didn't ask to be here , but there is no getting out! You can't or else you'll die. Bottom line you're Chase's wife now . Katherine please try to love him." She pleaded. I could tell she cared a lot about him.

" I'll try"

" He deserves someone like you! Not some club rat!-

" I happen to actually like those club rats" Chase says as he walks in the living room and sits on the couch .

" How much did you hear?" Ella asks. It would be really embarrassing if he heard the part about loving him.

" Just that last sentence " He admits.

" Well I don't want to talk to you guys anymore so I'm gonna go find Dexter" Ella says before she walks out of the room.

I'm left in an awkward silence with Chase. Chase. The gang leader's son. The murderer . My husband.
I swallow a lump in my throat. I start to shift uncomfortably under his gaze .

"Um, if you don't mind, Chase, could you please show me to my room?" I know I should have taken this time to start talking to him and get to know him but I was really tired. And confused . And sad. I just wanted to shower and sleep.

" Sure" He says before standing up.  As we make our way upstairs I can't help but admire the artwork that covers the household's wall. As we were walking up we passed Dexter and Ella's room. There door was slightly open . Dexter's arms were wrapped tightly around Ella's waist and she was snuggled up on his chest. Seeing the married couple I quickly remember that I was staying in the same room as Chase. He leads me into a huge room probably bigger than my whole apartment. The room is full of expensive furniture. The colours used in the room are gold and white.

"The door on the right will lead you to the walk in closet and the one at the left is the bathroom"

I was going to speak but there was a loud gunshot and Chase pushed me to the floor.
