FLOWER

Chapter Two

After what felt like hours of pains and loss of blood,Cleopatra was laid to rest,she had just been separated from her baby and she felt noting but pain,not for the baby,but for the surgery,it was horrid and she couldn't care less.
Her husband didn't visit to check if she was okay or dead,although she was pretty sure he would have been happy if she was the latter.

Her hospital bed wasn't a place she needed to be,but it was a place she needed to breath,even though every where smelled of drugs,at least it was better than the suffocating feeling she had anytime she was home.

The door creaked open and a bulky man wearing a black suit and black glasses and a small gadget at the side of his ear appeared in front of her,he pressed the object on his ear and listened carefully to who ever was talking before nodding his head and looking at her again.

"The boss wants me to take you home". He said as he offered to help her stand up but she refused.
Typical Aaron,he didn't want her in another environment for too long,he wanted her suffocating in his filthy mansion.

The drive home was silent and the air conditioner was turned on making the car cool and warm at the same time,Cleopatra rested her head at the side of the car window as she looked outside,everything flew by fast,she knew her house was fast approaching but she wanted more than anything to be far away from there as possible,far away from him.
She closed her eyes tight to enjoy the power of freedom before it would be snatched away from her,to her;true freedom was worth living.
But her freedom was short lived as the driver took her through the gates of her house,and to her being the gates of hell.
She opened her eyes to speak but no words came out,she wanted to tell the driver to turn around but she knew better than to cause problems for her self especially in her weak state,so she let it be.
She was silent even when she entered the big magnificent mansion,she was still silent when she walked up the stairs,she was also silent when she heard the chatter of her house staffs behind her.
Everyone thought she was crazy to be married to a man like Aaron, all the house staffs knew the glamour of their mansion was just for show and that the reality of the mansion was more scarier than horror movies,but no one dared to speak, no one dared opposed Aaron.

After her shower and putting on her clothes,she sat on the vanity and looked into the mirror, she didn't recognise herself or the woman she had become,she never knew she could be tamed, her friends used to call her wild cat,because she was indeed wild back then but things had changed and now she had neither a friend nor her wild side anymore,she was just a beautiful furniture that was never used,just for show.

"I see you're back". Her husband Aaron said as he approached her from behind,she looked at the mirror and saw him behind her but she didn't utter a word.

"I don't know why you waste your time dressing up when you'd never be attractive to me". He spat words that hurt her,that made her feel like she was useless, unwanted and replaceable.

She stood up and walked towards the window but he held her wrists.

"You are awfully quiet today love, do you miss the baby". He smirked but she released her hands and walked past him.

"You know I hate to be ignored". He spoke like a spoilt child.

"What do you want me to say". She asked him softly like she didn't have any more words to give.

"My parents are coming over tomorrow,look pretty". And with that he left her alone, giving her no room to complaining or voice out her hatred for his family in general,especially his mother,who would act like she owned the world and she could do anything she wanted,even with her.

She looked out the window and saw him entering his car and driving off,he was unfair,he made her sulk in silence and loneliness while he lived his life to the fullest.

He gave her strict rules that she dared not disapprove.

No going out until you are asked to.

No friends.

No communication with the outside world.

No partying.

No family members.

He could have as well said no breathing,since she was so confide like a child .She hated him purely because he made her his rag that he could easily throw away,she couldn't remember the last time she danced or sang or walked on her own without bodyguards watching her every move,she felt like a spoilt child who had lost her privileges.

But she would have preferred being a spoilt child than an abandoned wife, a wife with no love and affection,a wife with no life.

Aaron was away gambling with his circle of friends while they jested him for not being able to have children. He knew it was his fault that he didn't have children, but he couldn't give Cleopatra such a privilege he hated her to the core,he never loved her and he didn't want to marry her,but he didn't have a choice,he had to do something, and the only thing he could do to save himself from shame was to marry her,she knew what other people didn't know about him and he was willing to keep her confined so no one would ever know.

Cleopatra was beautiful beyond bounds,she could pass off as a mermaid if she had tails, she was gorgeous even in rags and her voice was melodic,she had grey eyes too,but hers were like purple,her body was so soft and sweet and her lips were cherry red sometimes pink, she was tall enough to be a model,she was angelic,but he couldn't love her because her family destroyed him and he was ready to destroy her no matter what it took.

No matter what it took.
