The Husband

004

Next Morning

I wake up to the sun brightly shining on my face, I quickly lift my arm up to cover the blinding light. I sit up and my eyes scan the room and immediately my eyes land on the bed. There was no one on it, but the sheets were crumpled up. That meant he did sleep on it.

I stand up and cringe at the sound of my bones cracking. I touch my back and a sharp pain shoots up, closing my eyes I hold onto the dresser as I begin feeling a dizzy spell come upon me. But, soon after the dizziness finally fades away, I walk towards the bathroom door and see that it is slightly ajar. And again, there was no one there. Where is he??

I walk to the dresser and pick up my phone to look at the time, it was exactly 07:30 in the morning. So where would he be so early in the morning?

I walk towards my suitcase and take out my day clothing. I go into the bathroom, not forgetting to shut the door and lock it behind me. I turn on the shower to pull my shirt up. The sharp pain shoots up my once again and I look into the mirror, horrified to see that I have nasty back looking blue bruise on my back. What worst does God have planned for me, if yesterday was not enough??

After showering, I walk around the room admiring how beautiful it is but I get interrupted by a soft knock at the door.

I pull the door open and see Luca, Arthit's driver

"Hello Mr Rojnapet-" Before he could go on, I stop him immediately and tell him to please call me Kongpob. He smiles at me once again and then continues. "Sir has instructed me to take you to your new home now and that you need to pack all your belongings so that we can leave."

I give him a confused look, "Weren't we supposed to stay here for a week?"

Luca nods and says , "Mr- uhm, I mean Kongpob, Sir has said that he has some important work to attend to, so he needed to go back home."

I nod at him and tell him I will be downstairs in a few minutes

" Let me help you with your bags, Kongpob"

I smile at his helpfulness, but tell him I can do it by myself and he can just fetch the car in the meantime.

We pull up in front of a matte black gate. Luca tapes away on the keyboard as I take in my surroundings. Soon, the sound of the gates opening brings me out of my trance. He drives onto the gravel driveway as I look at the forest that we passing are surrounded by. It is a real stunning view to look at. The car stops and I find my door car door opening.

I get off the car and look up to see a four-storey mansion standing tall in front of me. No, I'm not amused because I've seen many mansions before in my life but no lie, it is extraordinary.

Luca closes the door behind me and asks me to go inside.

I walk up the few steps that are at the entering of the house. I look up to see the big black door wide open, I walk inside and study the way the house is built and designed. It looks amazing and stunning.
My shoes made noise on the crystal white floors as I walked further into the house, I look at the pictures that are hanging on the wall. It was pictures of the family but in each one of them, not one of them looks happy. It was like they were forced to do it.
