Dangerous

~Chapter 4~

My body developed like a normal girl when I became a teenager. My hips widened, breasts got bigger and all that stuff. When I became sixteen and had not started my cycle, mother thought it was weird so she took me to a doctor. The doctor said that it wasn't too late to start but until I turned eighteen I should have some hope. If I didn't start before then then I would infertile.

I was seventeen and had not started yet. This scared me a lot, I mean who didn't want to have children of their own?

"No." Tears filled up in my eyes but I would not allow them to fall.

Caroline did not reply and I couldn't look at her, afraid she would see the shame in my eyes. Thank goodness we didn't have to wait too long because a beautiful brown carriage soon appeared in front of us.

⚫⚫⚫⚫⚫⚫⚫

The ride was very uncomfortable as it was clouded with an uncomfortable atmosphere. Caroline did not attempt to start a conversation at all. It was funny how a relationship that took sixteen years could just crumble from a year of separation.

Caroline was like a stranger to me.

When I was away from home people called me a 'royal bond breaker' RBB for short.  I never knew what it meant but I knew it was the reason why I couldn't seem find friends. People just tend to become weary of me on the first encounter and it led me to live a lonely life for ten months.

But I had been in many different scenarios, both good and bad and sometimes I was a spectator. From this I had learnt many life lessons that I wouldn't have learnt had I stayed home.

It seemed like I was going to get more of the loneliness, even with my family around.

⚫⚫⚫⚫

It took us several hours to arrive at our destination and boy was I surprised. The place was a palace, situated in the middle of the Forrest with no other building in sight.  The building was white with huge windows whose curtains were drawn as the sun was about to set. In front of us was a humongous fountain, the biggest I had ever seen. It was a statue of a male with fangs holding a lady with a crown made of bats. A beautiful piece of art.

I promised myself to come sometime out here and draw or paint everything.

The sound of the huge gate we had passed settled me. I turned around in time to see a single man closing it. That gate was very big for one man! How strong was he? I mentally asked myself, surprised at the stranger's strength.

"I'm here to accompany you, my lady. Sir Alex is out at the moment." I jumped at the sudden voice and whipped towards the source of the voice.

A handsome man stood in front of Caroline. He was tall and muscular with fine pale skin and masculine features.

"Take my luggage first and come back here, I would like a tour of the house."

I watched silently as he bent down and took Caroline's luggage and carried it away like it weighed nothing.

Just as he disappear into the palace another man appeared and walked towards me. He analysed my appearance with his eyes and I watched his lip turn in disgust, just slightly it was barely noticeable.

"Hello. I'll take this for you." He said awkwardly, making his was to my luggage.

"No, sir!" Caroline suddenly interfered. "I will like those to be thrown away."

"What? No sir, please don't throw it away. There is important stuff in there!"

"Didn't you here what mother said, huh?" She asked stalking closer to me. "You'll not enter this place with those filthy clothes of yours. I won't allow it!"

I frowned. Why was she getting so worked up? "I like my clothes, Carry. And this is not your house, I don't get what the fuss is about. My luggage is staying with me."

She didn't realise that my most important things were in there.

"This is the last time you'll call me Cherry." She hissed in anger. "And I'm the one whose going to marry Alexander. Do you think he will want you?" She laughed cruelly. "Do you think any man would want you? Cynthia let me tell you something you don't seem to know; you look hideous right now and you're infertile! What man in his right mind will want someone like you?!" By this time she was screaming for the whole world to hear. A crowd of people have even gathered to see what was happening.

Her words hurt but I couldn't blame her because she only spoke the truth. What she said was something I didn't want to admit to myself yet. It was the painful truth.

I spoke much calmer than before. "I know my flaws Caroline. Please don't remind me because they are always at the front of my mind, believe me. But please understand what I want at the moment. Look at it like this: I'm ugly and I don't want to look like I'm trying to seduce men by dressing all pretty and stuff. My clothes are fine and I don't want your soon to be husband to waste money on a person like me. You can take all the clothes he offers but just let me come with my own."

Caroline leaned in and whispered. "Stay out of my way and listen carefully; I'm going to be the mistress of this house so you better not anger me because I won't spare you! My time of always following you, always coming second place is over." With that she turned around and stormed inside the house.

I nodded my head holding on the tears that I wanted to let loose. All the people around me now new my deepest secrets. They will only look down on me.

I grabbed my bag before the man could get to it and pulled it towards the entrance. I kept my head down afraid to look in the eyes of the people around me. The eyes that obviously reflected disgust and disapproval.

How did my life end up here? I had never seen anyone look at me in disgust before father died. I used to live the perfect life-

I shock my head trying to clear up my thoughts. I couldn't let these thoughts cloud my mind because they would not bring my father back. He was gone.
My old life was gone, I should've gotten that into my thick skull already. It was time I started fending for myself.

"Hey everyone, get lost!" A deep voice snapped behind me. I turned in time to see a large man moving through the crowd. "When did you start listening to other people's business?"

I watched, entranced. The two men I had seen in my time here were good looking but this guy…

He was very attractive. His brown hair was gelled back making it look black. His face stood out more, he had the most eye-catching forestry green eyes I had ever seen. His cheek bones were high, his jaw sharp and defined perfectly. The white shirt he wore had the first few buttons open, exposing his muscled neck and a part of his perfectly sculptured chest. The sleeves of his shirt were rolled up to his elbow, the formal black pants he wore snuggled smoothly around his muscled legs.

My trance was suddenly broke when the young man grabbed my bag and before I could blink he had grabbed my arm and was pulling me towards the entrance of the huge building, leaving the dispersing crowd behind.
