What Life Robbed Me

Chapter 5

The top left is Alice, the bottom left is Gabriel, the top right is the mom Jennifer. The mansion on the bottom right.

Once we get to the house, I looked at it through the car window. It was so big and beautiful. The people that worked outside for Cameron, came and helped grab my suitcases. Cameron opened the door and helped me get out. We walk inside and I look around. I look at him, "can you take me to my room please." I said. He looks at me and takes me upstairs. He opens the door and I see the suitcases on the bed already. The bedroom was kinda sample, but looked comfortable. "Get dressed, I'll be back." He says as he closes the door. I didn't really listened to what he said. I looked at the window, the view was beautiful. I tried to open it, but it was locked. I take off my wedding dress and hang it. I put on my white robe and take off my makeup. I let my hair down, looking at myself through the mirror. I take a deep breath and I unpack everything. Everyone was probably wondering where Cameron and I were, since we left the party early. I sat on the bed, and I closed my eyes. I thought about Christopher, and how he had to see me in a wedding dress. How it was hard for him to know, but I know he is going to come and get me. The doors open and I look at Cameron, he didn't have a shirt on just pants. He had a nice body, it looked like he worked out a lot. "Let's head to bed, tomorrow will be a better day." He said getting on the bed. I looked at him and I backed up. "Aren't you sleeping in your room?" I said. He looked at me and he grabbed me. "This is our bedroom." I get up and go near the small couch near the window. "I'm sleeping here tonight." I sit on the couch and I see Cameron coming towards me, grabbing my arm again. "You are my wife, and that was one of the rules." He said trying to kiss my neck. I try to push him off. "Get off me!" I said. "You are mine and I can do whatever I want with you." He said grabbing my hands. "Grab me all you want, but every time you kiss me or touch me, I'll be thinking about Christopher." I say as I close my eyes, smiling and thinking about him. He let's go of my hand, shakes his head and gets out of the room. I go to the bed and I lay down, crying over and over again. The next morning I get up and sit on the couch, looking at the window, I couldn't stop thinking about everything. The wedding, my father, the money, Cameron and anything that made this mess. I spend the whole day crying and I decided to stay in my bedroom. Cameron came inside without knocking, "aren't you going to eat something?" He said standing there looking at me. I kept looking at the window. "I'm not hungry." I said as I pulled my knees close to my chest. "Come on, you have to eat something." He said getting close to me. "Please don't get near me, please." I grab my knees closer and hug them tighter. He sits next to me and looks at me. "I haven't done anything to you. Why are you like this to me?" He said trying to grab my hand. I pull my hand away and look at him. "You have me here, and I don't want to be here." I said. "You are my wife, and you are suppose to be here with me by my side." I sit up and get close to him. "Im your fake wife, and I will never love you. I hate you." I stand up and he stands up grabbing my arm again, I turn around and I tell him again. "I hate you." I say. He gets angry again and leaves. I sit at the window again, waiting for Christopher. The next day I get up and put on a pretty pink dress that goes to my knees. I don't put any makeup on today. I put my heels and put on my white floppy hat. Before opening the door, I grab my hand fan. I continue to look at the house, at the pantings, and at the decorations. I didn't see any picture frames. As I turn the corner, I bump into a guy. He was skinny and tall. "I'm so sorry, I didn't see you." I say as I try to walk away. "Oh no it's fine! I'm sorry I'm an idiot, i wasn't looking." He says. "Are you Elizabeth?' He said before I walk away. I turn and smile a bit. "Yes, how do you know?" I say feeling confused. "I'm Gabriel. Cameron is my brother, and I didn't know he got married. I was traveling." He smiles. "Where are you heading?" He said looking at me. I smile at him. He seemed really sweet and he looked and is nothing like Cameron. "I was going to head outside. I just need some fresh air, that's all." I say smiling. "Oh well, if you need anything just let me know... Anything." He says smiling. I head outside the garden. It's full of flowers, all kinds of flowers. I walk and try to find spots where Christopher can come so we can meet. I look and look but I can't find a spot at all. "Welcome home Elizabeth." Said a woman with a sweet voice. I turn around and see a older woman. She was really beautiful, she was wearing some black pants and a white tucked shirt. I smile at her. "I'm Alice, nice to finally meet you." I didn't know who she was, but she seemed really sweet. "This garden is beautiful." I say as I look around. "Oh yes, i lived here all my life, and I take care of it." She says feeling proud. "Well, you need to show me how, because I stopped taking care of my garden when my mom passed away." I said. "Of course Elizabeth! Any day you want." I walk with her around the garden. "So are you related to Cameron, Alice?" She kept quiet a bit as I asked her the question. "I'm his aunt." She said looking a bit upset. I didn't ask her why she seemed upset. We kept walking and talking. Alice was a very sweet and easy person to talk to. She would tell me stories and I would tell her stories too. We walked inside together, and I see another woman. She had long pretty hair, she was pretty, and she was well dressed. "Jennifer, this is Elizabeth." Alice said as she looks at me and smiles. Jennifer looked at me kinda weird and smile a bit. "Nice to meet you Elizabeth." She says not looking at me. She looked at Alice and tells her that she needs to head out a bit. She leaves and Alice looks at me. "That's Gabriel's and.. and Cameron's mom." She says looking down. "Oh I see, she seemed... stressed." I say as I kinda laugh. She smiles and hugs me. "Elizabeth, remember my room is upstairs, if you ever want anything." She smiles and walks away. I take a deep breath and head to my bedroom. I close the door behind me and take off my hat. I see a tray with food on it, I was starving. I bring it with me to the couch and I eat. After a while, I stand up and I went to the restroom to take a long shower. Fifteen minutes later, I get out of the bathroom wearing a towel around my body. I go to the closet finding some clothes. I put the clothes on the bed and take off my towel, the door behind me opens and I don't notice. Cameron looks at me as I'm dressing and he comes behind me, grabbing my waist. I turn around quickly grabbing the towel. "Cameron! Can you a least knock?" I say looking at him. "I'm sorry, I saw you and I couldn't help it. Please forgive me." He says as he tries to come close to me. "Please get out Cameron." I say as i look at him. He looks at me, "Elizabeth I have a meeting tomorrow, get ready in the morning." He says as he turns around, and shutting the door loudly. I jump when he does, and I grab my clothes. I get dressed quickly and I lay down, minutes later I fall asleep.
