A Debt To Pay

3

Rhaelyn shivered as the chilly November air hit her face. Today's meeting with Alexei went surprisingly smoothly. Heading home her car had broke down a few miles back. She was walking towords her apartment building. It was worn down and shabby but she had worked hard to get it, especially while she was medical school and dealing with her father at the same time. She was proud to be able to say she had acomplished something. Opening the door she slipped off her coat and headed to the kitchen to make a quick meal. Rhaelyn finished eating and got ready for bed not knowing that tomorrow was going to be a long day.

Diiiiiiing- Ding Ding. Diiiiiiing- Ding Ding.

The noise startled her out of her already fitful sleep. Rhaelyn glanced at her alarm clock. It was only 6 in the morning and she didn't have any classes. Who in their right mind could it be? Groaning she snatched her robe not bothering to check her appearance she trudged to the door. The man's back was turned.

"What is it that you decided to wake me out of my beauty sleep for? " She growled out before she even realized who is was. 🙊Alexei🙊

Alexei surveyed the area. Trash littered the streets, police sirens wailing at this time in the morning. Why hadn't Rhaelyn told him about her living situation? Alexei would fix it. The place was awful. It was no better than the house he used to live in as a child. Don't get it wrong, he appreciated everything his mother and father worked their asses off to provide for him. But this wasn't the place where he envisioned his fiancé living . Definitely not!
"What is it that you decided to wake me out of my beauty sleep for? " Rhaelyn's voice was husky with sleep.
Alexei turned around to face her. She looked unbelievably sexy disheveled and dresses in her sleepwear .
Ignoring her question without waiting for an invitation he stepped into the house. Inside he continued to glance around.
"So you just gonna ignore my question... Excuse me. You can't just barge in here as you please!"
"Why are you living in such a place like this? It's completely inappropriate. " this offended Rhaelyn greatly . Angry tears welled up but she fought to suppress them.
"It might look shabby to you & I know it is but this house has all my work in it. I can't afford to pay for a nice house with the white picket fence. As much as I would love that I can't . My education is the most important thing to me at the moment. My school fees are piling up. So what if the house isn't great. As long as I have a roof over my head and shoes on my feet I'm good. " furiously Rhaelyn defended her not so beautiful home.
"This neighborhood isn't the safest and you know it." Alexei replied calmly. Always the calm and collected one he continued on.
"Anyhow I came to let you know that the movers will be arriving today to take your things. Make sure to be ready by 5 this evening. "
"No." Rhaelyn stated just as calmly.
He focused his smoldering eyes upon her. Damn him but those beautiful eyes would not work . "I want you out. Leave me alone."
"That's not possible. You're mine. I decided where you will be living and that's with me. In my house, where I'll have you and my beck and call, night and day. You are resisting the inevitable. You will love me eventually. Today might not be the day but I guarantee it won't be long before you do. I don't care what it takes to make it work but it will work. Understood? " firm and deep his voice left no room for argument. "I will be heading to work now." Moving in to kiss her on her lips. Rhaelyn turned her head slightly. The pout on her face prominent. His lips landed on her cheek. He chuckled , his little kitten. котенок.

Folding her arms across her chest Rhaelyn knew she looked considerably childish but to heck with that! She had waited until 5, thinking that Alexei was bluffing. She was surprised to see the movers come to pack her stuff! Arriving at his house she wasn't so surprised. The house was enormous. Way too big for two people. The lawn was marvelous and there building a white picket fence was Alexei. Alexei couldn't be serious. Rhaelyn didn't actually mean she wanted a picket fence. She was just using it in her example.That infuriating man. He knew how to get what he wanted, when he wanted it.
