Sold

Chapter Three

A week have passed but Krissy still hasn't get herself used in staying in the Frost's mansion. Her sudden princess-like life was still a shock for her and her longing for her parents worsened her situation.  She actually has lost count of times about asking Robin to just send her back home. But every time she does, he will just remind her of how cruel her parents are for selling her to him.

Even that idea was still a great shock for her. She keeps on denying to herself that her parents have sold her. She just couldn't believe that they could do that to her. She couldn't think of a reason for why they have to do this.

Do they badly want to be successful in their business career that they reach the point of selling their own flesh and blood?

For the past few days, she locked herself in her room and cried. Robin tried to console her but it just wouldn't work. She was homesick and she was feeling down.

"Dress up after you eat." Robin's thundering voice that echoed in the dining room pulled Krissy away from the thoughts that clouded her.

She was unconsciously stabbing her food with her fork and she was shocked that the omelet in her plate could no longer be recognized. She felt bad for the food. If she was in their house, her mom would have already scolded her and gave her lecture about the importance of the every single bit of food that is served in the table.

Even though her so called fiancee is as rich as the famous billionaires she knew, she couldn't bare to waste things. So even with a bad appetite, she chewed her unrecognizable omelet bearing the feeling of guilt with every bite.

"Are you even listening to me, Krissy?" Robin shouted louder this time. He must have been irritated because Krissy's mind seemed to be flying somewhere. It was insulting for  him because he was never treated that way in his entire life. All of the people around him respects him. 

"S-sorry. What was it again?" With a low voice, Krissy couldn't dare to look at Robin straight in the eye. She was feeling angry and guilty at the same time. A contradicting emotion that's too hard for her to handle, too confusing.

She was angry with the fact that at the age of sixteen, she already has a fiancee. Who on earth would have a same situation like her? Plus the fact that her fiancée is a total stranger to her.

She was living with Robin under the same roof for a week now but she no nothing about him except his name and the fact that he is a businessman and a billionaire.

She has no idea of what kind of business he has or how many zeros he earn every month.

Sometimes she can't help thinking that maybe Robin is doing an illegal business. He's too young to be that successful. If she has guessed it right, Robin might be around 24 to 26. Too young to be a billionaire but too old to be her fiancee.

They have at least eight years gap. And the thought of it make her pass away again. She has never been into a relationship before and she always dreamed of meeting her perfect prince. But never has she dreamed of having a prince that's more than five years older than her.

Yes, Robin might be a prince, too perfect even. But he's just too old. And his arrogant attitude made him look older.

Robin sighed heavily, a sign of great irritation. God knows how long has he been controlling his temper. He doesn't want to get mad at Krissy.

He is trying his best to understand her situation. She is too young to handle these things. It might have greatly shocked her. But a week of sulking and crying is just too much for him. His patience was already at its limits.

Afraid that he might blurt out his anger at Krissy, he stood up and walked to the door. But before he could even step out, he came to a halt and turned to face her again.

The sudden urge of hugging her upon seeing her pitiful eyes made Robin clench his fist.

Damn! This lady is making him insane.

"Ready yourself in 20 minutes. We'll be going somewhere." He didn't bother wait for her reply or her reaction. He stormed out of the dining room after saying those words.

He never planned this. He didn't even wanted to do this. But his inner self tells him to do so.

After seeing Krissy cry for a week, he made up his mind that maybe, she has to meet her parents.

It's not that he is giving her back to her family but he thought that maybe she will believe it if her parents will personally tell her the truth. Because no matter how much he explains the situation to Krissy, she just wouldn't listen to him. She's hardheaded as a metal bar.

But even until now, he still couldn't understand himself on why he agreed on Mr. Gray's deal for him. He find the idea absurd at first and he even thought of suing Krissy's father but when he saw Krissy's photo, he changed his mind in an instant.

Maybe it was because he felt pity towards the girl. She doesn't deserve to have parents like them, who are willing to sell their own daughter for money.

After Robin left, Krissy was left in her own misery
