Vera stepped out of the shower, she made use of the small towel to dap her face and wrapped her face round the towel as she sighed, the shower really helps her in convincing and calming her mind.
she stepped out of the bathroom without hesitation, she needs to wrap her body with proper cloth, stepping out of the bathroom, she steps into the wardrobe room believing her small back pack was there but she was surprised to see a little wardrobe with a mirror, she's definitely sure that she didn't see this before going to have her bath.
Actually in the room there is demarcation with the use of a fancy glass, in order to demarcate the bedroom from where the wardrobe is, same goes to the bathroom there is demarcation from the toilet to the shower room to the bath tub room. The glass in visible from inside but not outside
Vera smiles to herself knowing her thoughtful her future husband is, "he is still a devil just to remind you" her mind interrupted her peaceful moment "but why his he called a devil, he seems thoughtful" she replied her mind as she sit on the chair, dragging her self closer to the mirror, " maybe because of the way he puts people in their place and his strict policy, he is wealthy, handsome and not popular but Claudia and Mira are scared of him but I thought, he is Mira's crush, I wonder why she would let me have him, his he so harsh?, or a man of discipline? or have her crush died for him due to countless times he had disgraced her, or maybe her mom doesn't want her to end up like mom, marrying a man that doesn't love her which led her to her early grave, yes now I know why, Grey from what I have heard from Mira, he is strict and heartless, he had one day gave her a deadly serious warning when Mira tried flirting with him, he also talks rudely and most times he is quiet, he doesn't repeat his words twice and he could demonic when he decides to step into your matter like what he had one day do to one of Mira friend which made the poor girl cried so bad, yes I was there that day, I saw the girl cry so bad, then the name Grey is always hovering round our house, Mira and her friends even made a bet on who will get him first but all of them ended up giving up because it always ends in tears but then we were young, he might not even be the particular Grey, it might be someone else, she could remember that he is older than them and the mom, one day came visiting, she even had a nice encounter with her" Vera kept talking to herself, she always feel relieved when she talks to herself, she was done drying her hair and creaming her body, she walks slowly to the bigger wardrobe expecting her backpack to be there, but it wasn't, "I can't walk out of the room naked and I can't wear what I wore last ... fuck, what I woke up with isn't what I wore yesterday, hmmm things are getting funnier, Grey has a lot of answering to do" Vera said to herself angrily, she walked towards the wardrobe, what she saw was just male cloth, she picked up a black shirt and put it on, " hmm I was even braless and pantless last night, that Grey of a man has to explain" she sighed, she was about to take a step forward when a silly thought got the into head "what if he had touch you last night due to your vulnerable state" her inner thought interrupted, this mere thought alone left Vera in a thinking state as she walk out of the wardrobe room.
All her thought came to halt when she mistakenly hit a man inside the room. Vera stared at the man with man mouth, he is the same man who picked her from her house but this time around he is shirtless with a black short, his hair was kinda messy, a towel hung round his shoulder. " fuck your husband is cute and we'll built, he is the guard that picked you up" her inner mind spoke
"hey" the man snapped her out of her thought, Vera quickly composed herself, "God his voice is husky, did you hear the hey, oooh I am screaming" at this point vera felt like squeezing her inner mind but all this same her outer part was well compose although the inner contradicts.
"I need my backpack" vera finally said tilting her head and raising her brows, " Vera is this what your mama taught you been hostile" Grey said coming closer it sounds more like a whisper, he remembered what his mom said, she made him promise that he will keep her and not scare her off before the wedding but he didn't because he was not sure, if she will still want him after the first six month arrangement and his not the type to force things or even beg, his dad also reminded him that not signing the document of instability (divorce) will prove to the board that he is more responsible. actually the fact was never against contract marriage, infact he never believed he love and he knows that his fate of marriage lies in contract marriage but he never wanted his mom to do picking because he trust her decision, that was the reason he kept rejecting every blind date proposed by his father. He isn't sure of keeping this Vera of girl because she looks to vulnerable and young tho, she looks like age 22, to handle him and his terms but he might try his best to lure her but if she wants more like love then he definitely knows it won't work but he will take it easy with her.
"I never had one" Vera replied him with tears but she held it, Grey looked at her, "oooh this girl is so vulnerable, am sure she had a shitty life" Grey thought but he didn't let out the fact that he was bothered about her life "it doesn't matter and why the you need that shitty bag" Grey replied her, Vera got furious due to his answer, his answer sounded rude and careless to Vera but it only made her brace up, " first at foremost, you need to learn manner, secondly, I need the bag, it is important" Vera said fearlessly as she takes a step back due to their closeness, Grey notices that she took a step backward, she looks cute and he feels like teasing her along with putting fear in her, she doesn't look like an obedient puppy, which he doesn't like everyone around him fear him not actually fear but obeys his decision without hesitation except from his mom and dad.
Grey took a step forward but this time he gripped her by her waist, vera almost lost her balance but his grip on her was strong " maybe you should teach me to have one, then secondly I am kinda careless so I threw your bag" Grey said as he whispered close to her ear, "I need it ... umm my cloth is inside" Vera said stuttering, Grey took a look at her he notices that his grip on her made his shirt which was on her body close to her butt, Grey released her carefully but it kinda looked roughly " you are putting on my shirt so what else do you need " Grey said as he lands himself on his wide comfy bed.
Vera bit her lips, looking lost, Grey looks at her sitting on the bed upright as he mentioned the word "uurggg" raising his eyebrow up. " my undies, I am naked down there" Vera said as she finally got the courage, her statement reminded her that Grey still has to face the query of stripping her naked "not naked you were putting in his top and short" her mind interrupted "and one more thing, who changed my cloth yesternight".
"what answer do you want to hear, a solution to ur naked butt or who changed your clothes?" Grey asked, "I want to here all" Vera answered aggressively, she was not happy with the way he is tendering to her question, he is taking it so calmly, like it is not a big deal.
"you can do without an undies for now and I changed your clothes, you have any problem with that?" Grey replied, " yes I have a big problem with it, infact with you, you are just so annoying I feel like strangling you, one you have no atom of respect, how dare touch a woman without her permission to show how shamelessly you are, how sure am I that you didn't do something stupid" Vera said angrily, she was very angry, he even admitted without shame or remorse, she was fuming with anger but the funniest thing is that Grey is not moved by what she said or her reaction.
"so you've agreed on been pantless, now let me correct you" Grey said as he raised a finger up and then he continues "you can call me wicked, heartless, demon but not a shameless womanizer, moreover, I didn't touch you last night, you don't have an attractive body, you are not the type that I fuck with, so get that into head" he paused "you are forgiven, any further question" Vera hearing this was furious how Will he say that to her, she will make sure he pays, just right after the wedding but hearing the last part of his answer cheered her up, yes she has more question, she was about to ask when Grey cut her off " hey easy wifey, easy, anything concerning this contract marriage will be after our court wedding".
"at least you would have give me a listening ears before cutting me short, how many people will witness it" Vera asked with a serious face "not more than 40, not sure they will be up to just important family members and the board members though some may invite their daughters" Grey said, " why was the daughters been specific, never mind though, I don't want photographers, yes I know that you're not popular on social media but you are popular among other business tycoons and don't I want to go viral not even amongst your friends,just the board members and your family member, who knows my future husband might be among anybody, we just don't know so I want it on the low" Vera said without remorse.
Grey was surprised at what she said but he didn't let it show "okay, fine no photographs, only one of my friend knows, and you asked why was the daughters specific, you know why because many young girls want to see me, so most of the girls that are there doesn't care about you they just want to ogle at me, they are willing and ever ready to take your position" Grey said the last part feeling fulfilled
"I don't care, I don't give a shit, even if you cheat, I still don't care" Vera said this as she celebrate triumph inside her but the truth was that she really cared if he cheat because she hates cheat at least for the fact they are married, he shouldn't, he should respect the wedding vow, that shows more of responsibility not just been married, Vera thought.
Grey looks at Vera, "this girl surprise me" he thought within, Grey was really the talkative type, he doesn't talk too much even amongst his male friends he hardly join them in arguments and even if he decide to he always win, and here he is with this vulnerable girl trying to defeat her.
" in some minutes time your stylist will be here, come down let's have breakfast" Grey said as walks towards the wardrobe room, he entered inside, open the wardrobe as he put on a white t shirt, he steps out expecting to Vera to follow him but she did make a move, he turns back looking at her giving the signal "I am not hungry and come with you like this" Vera said as she sat on the bed, Grey was in no mood for argument, irrespective of the fact that Vera was naked inside and is just putting on n his shirt, he carried her in a bridal way.
