His name is Joseph Morgan

Ch.16

After I dressed in my black skinny jeans and a tight fitted t-shirt, I stood out on the balcony looking down at the backyard. When did he get a pool? Wow he's a piece of work, I giggled to myself.

"What is so funny?" Seph grabbed me around the waist and pulled my back to his chest.

"You had a pool put in?"

"Yes love, I'm still renovating."

He held me until it was completely dark outside. The system night lights came on, the backyard landscape looked like a fairy's fantasy. I looked down at the pool with it's night lights on and it looked familiar.

"It looks like my ring."

"What does?"he asked me in a daze.

"The pool looks like my ring without the band."

"Yes that's correct, your very observant, your going to make a great lawyer."

"Seph I decided not to go to law school." I said hesitantly.

"Yes you are, you've put in a lot of work to be a successful lawyer, it's your calling."

"There are so many choices for me Seph, I just don't think," he cut me off.

"Stop Jess, your going to Law School," he released me and stepped away,"come on let's eat dinner."

Who do he think he is? I decide to drop it and turn to follow him into the house.

"And please tell me your wearing something more appropriate for dinner. Surely you own more than jeans and t-shirts."

I was starting to get really irritated with Seph, "and what is wrong with my clothes?"

He looked at me disapproving, "Your married to Joseph Morgan now, and you have got to do better." He walked out leaving me with my mouth open. He insulted me and walked out? What the hell?

I changed into a dress that's 'more appropriate' for dinner, then joined my husband. As soon as I sat down the staff immediately start to bring dinner out. 

I ate what I could and waited for him to finish. I wouldn't be rude and interrupt his dinner, but this needed discussing.

He sat down his glass of wine," Is there something you want to say love?" he asked in a cold cruel voice.

I look at him, "Yes, first of all why are you so angry and secondly you can't dictate me, I've had enough of that growing up."

"I'm not angry, I'm tired of this childishness. Until you behave like an adult I will tell you what to do."

"I'm not being childish, this is my life," he cut me off.

"See that's were your wrong, you belong to me so you have no choice. You will do as I say simply because I know what's best for you love. Tomorrow you and I will go shopping for a new wardrobe, your parents didn't teach you properly so as your husband it's my job now."

"What? Are you mad? Where is the Seph I fell in love with, do you have a split personality?" I ask incredulously.

I really can't believe what I'm hearing. This is not my Seph.

"Oh it's me love," he sit back in his seat,"Pray tell, what in the hell are you thinking? All of the hard work you've put in to be here in your life and you want to throw it all away because you don't think you want to go to Law School, what the fuck Jessica?" he look at me with disappointment in his features. "There are places for indecisive women, they learn to focus and do as there told, and if you don't get your brain back on track I will happily sign you up for one of those facilities." he said harshly.
