She quickly followed him closely.
"Bring me, Nova, let's go home"
He deadpanned.
Mrs. Shawn was stunned by his request.
She thought he was angrily going home, but no, he was requesting to go home with Nova.
"Umm, she.."
Mrs. Shawn tried reasoning with him but he quickly interrupted.
"Where is she?"
He asked shooting the woman daggers through his eyes. He was running out of patience.
Mr. Shawn ran in with sweat coating his face.
"Nova is unconscious in her room"
He spoke huffing.
"Where is her room?"
Raven asked now staring at Mr. Shawn.
The man didn't know what to say as he didn't want to annoy Raven.
"Follow me"
He gently said as he led him to Nova's room with his wife following closely.
''''''''''''''''
Nova lay on her bed sleeping peacefully.
Raven stared at her with dead eyes.
Then he walked up to her then tapped her until she opened her eyes.
Her long lashes fluttered as she tried to adjust her vision to the current brightness of the room.
"Get up, we're going home"
He deadpanned.
His statement shocked not only Nova but also her parents.
"What? Two weeks contract or not, she's my wife. My responsibility until Sara gets well. So I am taking my wife with me"
He deadpanned.
Nova blinked her eyes continuously as she tried to understand what he was saying.
"Umm, Nova, I think he's right. You're his wife now until your sister gets healed.
Follow him home and we'll make sure to call you"
She heard her mother say to her.
Nova knew she was now helpless, and she also knew not to get him annoyed.
She didn't want a repetition of what happened the last time.
She tried getting up but her legs failed her, she was about to fall back on the bed when she felt an arm around her waist steadying her.
She gasped to see Raven holding her waist.
"Thank you. I am fine now"
She murmured to him.
He nodded then let her go and she made her legs firm on the ground.
"We'll be leaving now"
He deadpanned, and with that, he left the room, with Nova following him closely like a cat.
Soon they got out of the building. He walked ahead of her to the parking lot and got into the driver's seat.
Nova stood outside of the car, confused.
"Get into the back seat"
He sighed as he saw her confused expression.
Nova raised her hand and tried opening the door, but it wasn't opening.
Raven sighed then got out of the car and with one swift move, opened the door for her.
Without looking at her again, he got into the car and waited for her to get in. Immediately she got in, he started driving.
'''''''''''''''''''''
The car got into the mansion and parked in the parking lot.
"Get down"
He deadpanned.
She didn't need anyone to tell her again before she came down.
"Come with me"
He deadpanned again, but this time, stretched out his hand for her.
She took his hand and he led her in.
"Shadow, take her to her room."
Raven said to a man who was in all black. They were currently in the living room. The man he referred to as Shadow wore a black sleeve, black pants, black glasses that took almost half of his face, black gloves, black socks and shoes, and finally, a black face mask.
There was nothing about him that could be seen.
"And for you, have your bath. He'll lead you to the dining room so we'll have dinner together. We have some things to discuss"
He said now addressing Nova.
Nova's heart skipped a beat as she heard him speak in his always cold tone.
Shadow turned to her, and without saying a word, he started moving in a different direction.
She needed not to be told to follow him.
They kept on walking until they got to a door.
"Your room"
That was the only thing he said to her, then he left her alone.
Nova gulped and pushed the door open.
The room was painted purple and wasn't giving off a moody vibe.
It was a luxurious room with well-cushioned chairs.
She dragged her body to the bed and lay on it.
In just one day, a lot had happened to her.
She was doing this all because of the love she had for her elder sister.
She pressed her lips together and then got up to inspect the room.
She saw the bathroom.
It was wow.
It was the perfect room every girl dreamt of.
She was so excited about it and ran into the bathroom, only for her to slip and fall.
She gasped as she saw she had a bruise on her leg.
She sighed and then pulled her clothes one after the other until she was naked.
Then she immersed herself in the tub.
''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''
He walked coldly until he got to his wing inside the building.
The guards bowed and he entered the wing and then made his way to his room.
Getting to his room, Shadow was already waiting for Raven in the room.
"What do you plan to do now?"
Shadow asked seeing Raven enter the room.
Raven ignored him then out of his pocket, brought out a cigarette, and lighted it.
"It's still in my favor, Shadow"
Raven replied as he exhaled the smoke from the cigarette.
"That means you plan to keep the girl as your wife?"
Shadow asked him trying to clarify it.
"Yes"
Raven gave a short but quick answer.
Shadow smirked then without speaking again, left the room.
'''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''
After having her bath, Nova checked the wardrobe to see it stocked with all sorts of clothes.
She picked up a corset and a jean trouser then dropped them on her bed.
She opened the cupboard to find all sorts of body, face, and hair cream.
She creamed her body and applied the hair cream.
After doing all of that, she wore the clothes and let her hair down. She slipped into a slide and checked herself in the mirror, she concluded she was ready.
'He said to meet him in the dining room, right? But I don't even know my way around'
She thought as she bit her lip nervously.
She thought of what to do and then decided to leave her room and look for a maid or guard to show her the way.
Opening the door, her heart almost jumped into her mouth as she saw Shadow standing there.
"Follow me"
That was all he said and he started walking.
She followed him closely, trying to calm her pounding heart.
She found him strange, he wasn't the type to speak much, yet for some reason, his little words made her wary.
He had a very cold demeanor.
She shrugged the thought off, as there was a bigger demon out there in the dining room, waiting for her.
She took meek steps into the dining room.
It was so large with a table meeting the two ends of the room.
But that wasn't what caught her attention, it was the food.
She didn't come from a poor family her father was a rich CEO who dealt with importing and exporting finished goods. But this, this was pure luxury.
And it all belonged to a certain Mr devil.
Her eyes darted to see him already seated.
She moved her legs and sat opposite him in the dining room.
"You kept me waiting"
He broke the silence, and his voice sent a shiver down her spine.
"A..m sorry"
She stuttered.
"You should be"
He deadpanned.
Suddenly, his face changed to one of confusion as he stared at her.
"What part of your body is bruised"
He asked her staring at her as he could see through her tiny body.
She was about to feed herself the vegetables at her front when she heard the question.
"Umm... I .."
She stuttered trying to remember when she bruised her body.
The way he stared at her made her uncomfortable and she couldn't even think well.
"Whatever. We're flying out of the country tomorrow to see my parents"
He deadpanned.
Her face paled as she heard him.
She gulped as she did not understand what he was saying.
"You're my wife now, so we're going to see my parents. We'll be spending three days there."
He continued as he noticed her confused expression.
"Why? My sister would get well soon. How would you explain to them that am only an imposter?"
She asked softly not wanting to anger him.
"And who says I'll be going back to your sister?"
He asked and the tension in the room reached its peak.
'What does he mean by that?'
She kept on asking herself as she gulped.
"For the little time we'll be staying there, we'll be acting as real couples."
He continued to see her brows furrow more.
"You mean?"
She asked gently.
"We'll be kissing and other things"
He deadpanned.
Her face flushed deeply as she heard him.
"But I've never kissed anyone before"
She pouted as she spoke.
His lips twitched hearing her.
'She's never kissed before?'
He was shocked beyond bounds.
"You're a virgin?"
He asked anticipating her answer.
"Yes I am"
Her face flushed again.
He folded his arms as he stared at her
It was impossible to believe a grown girl would still have her virginity.
Even though she had a small stature, he could bet she was from nineteen years upward.
"That means I'll teach you all you need to know"
He continued and she swallowed again.
'Teach? What does he mean by that?'
She blinked her eyes as she looked at him.
"Eat first. I'll be back"
He said then left the room.
She stared at the sumptuous meal in her front and drool fell off her mouth.
She didn't even know what to start with anymore.
