Olivia's POV
After running from Mr. Bennett's room, I went to the other room and realized it was indeed the guest room. Where did I get the knowledge that the room with the bigger door is the master room?
"Shameless" I sprouted still not able to believe that I ran into him naked, well he wasn't naked but geez I could see his abs.
I dived on the bed and covered my face with the duvet, then there was a knock from the door.
"Mrs. Bennett, can I come in?" a lady's voice echoed from outside and I was surprised, who was she?
Curiously, I walked to the door and pulled it open to find a lady dressed in a very classic blue gown, her fragrance was seducing and she had fair skin. She reminded me of my old self before my dad went bankrupt.
"I am Alice, the owner of Alisson boutique" she said with a wide smile and I nodded, I knew about Allison boutique but I never expected it to be owned by such a young lady who was in her twenties. And to top it all, Allison's boutique was the top fashion in the country, why was the owner here?
Then she clapped her hands and some men walked towards us pushing wardrobes, I was confused when they bypassed me and placed the wardrobes In the room.
"I was called by Mr. Bennett, and from now on I will be your personal designer" she said and my eyes widened in shock.
The owner of Allison will be my personal designer? Then I folded my arms with a sneer. I am not interested in any of his luxury, its not been upto an hour he forcefully married me but he already tried flaunting his wealth in front of me.
"I don't want any of them, take it away" I said angrily and her eyes widened in shock. "Are you sure, Mrs Bennett?" she asked in disbelief and I nodded.
Alice sighed before ordering the guards, they pushed the wardrobes out and I slammed the door. How dare he think he can buy me with such luxury?
*tock
There was another knock from the door and I frowned knowing that it was Alice and pulled the door open angrily "I told you…" I was saying when I realized it wasn't Alice.
Alex stood there dressed in a well tailored black suit, and with one hand inside his pocket while the other carried a luxurious rollex watch.
"You don't like the clothes?" he asked and I scoffed, then I saw him struggle with his words as he shoved a gold card towards me.
"You can get what you like" he said, this made me angrier. He married me because my father was unable to repay his debt, if he had such amount of money then why didn't he just forget about the debt?
I was so angry that I decided not to reply, this was great. As long as I am in this house, I will ignore him and give him the silence treatment…he is not and will never be my husband.
Alex walked into the bedroom and placed the card on the bedroom table before walking towards me "I have a business meeting in Germany, I wont be back for days" he said and I was overjoyed.
Without him I will have enough time to think on how to escape this place and also get a divorce paper.
Alex hesitated for a while then he turned and walked to the stairs before staring at me, his lips separated as he wanted to say something then he seems to swallow his words before leaving.
I closed the door and walked towards the window, it was not long before Alex got to the car and the driver opened the door for him, then they drove out of the mansion.
He lived the life of a king, he could have gotten any woman he wanted so why did he have to come and ruin my life.
I thought about my parents and worry enveloped me as I quickly dialed Natalie's number, it didn't get connected and I got worried.
Then I thought of Caleb and how offended he was before he left, he must hate me now but I want him to understand that I didn't have a choice and we could still be together after I break off this marriage.
After thinking a lot, I decided to call him and he kept declining the call. So I decided to write a message "Please answer my call, I am not fine" I typed then send to him.
I waited for a while but there was no reply "Arrrr" I growled angrily and hit the bed angrily.
Caleb and I have been together for three years now, he was always there for me especially when I had an accident. He stayed by my side at the hospital and even took care of my parents, so I can never forget him.
After spending hours in the bedroom playing video games with my phone, the battery ran out and it powered off and my stomach grumbled because I haven't eaten since morning.
Alex wasn't around and I didn't see any maids while coming upstairs, so I must be the only one home. With that thought, I walked out of the room and found myself downstairs when the fragrance from delicious meal passed through my nostril.
I glared at the dinning table and found it was filled with different dishes and they were still hot, who made this?
"You are awake" a voice echoed from behind me and I turned to find an old lady with strands of grey hair standing there as she held a plate.
"Who are you?" I asked surprised, was she Alex's mother perhaps?
"I am Natou, I have been Mr. Bennett's nanny since he was a baby" she said with a genuine smile before walking closer to me as she took a proper glance at me.
"You are so pretty, Alex made the right choice…the old madam will be so happy to hear about this" Natou said as her eyes blinked with happiness.
"Uhm…thanks but I will leave soon. So its better no one knows about me" I said and she had a confused look.
"What I meant was that Mr. Bennett and me wont end up together…so don't tell the other members of the family" I explained clearly and she had a sad look.
"I feel he is too unlucky, people walk into his life and leave" she said and I rolled my eyes.
"I didn't walk into his life, I was forced" I said sarcastically and she laughed hard.
"You should eat something, I don't know what you like to eat…so I made different varieties" she explained and I smiled at her, she was too kind and this was considerate.
But she was old and her health was probably not the best, and I am sure Mr. Bennett doesn't give her respecting space so I will let her have the day off till he is back.
"Since Mr. Bennett travelled, you can rest till he is back" I said and she shook her head in denial.
"No, he doesn't…"
"I understand, you are scared that he will fire you? Don't bother because he wont find out about it" I butted in and she sighed before placing the plate on the table.
"I will leave then, take care Mrs. Bennett" she said.
"Olivia Clarke, that's my name" I corrected her and she just shook her head before leaving.
"Well, I will feel bored here alone" I said and walked to the table.
---Next Day: 10:00 pm—
From Alex's POV:
Finally, I was done with my business meeting and already flew into the country. i kept glaring at my phone while Bruno drove the car back to the mansion.
"Sir, you have been staring at your phone constantly since we left for Germany. Are you expecting a call?" he asked and I sighed heavily before shaking my head in denial.
I was expecting to see notifications about money withdrawal from the card I gave her but there was none, and I couldn't call her because I didn't have her contact number, she probably hates me for marrying her forcefully.
But I had no choice, if I didn't do that then she would have belong to someone else and I couldn't let that because I wanted her for my self.
Then I saw there was a huge billboard showcasing the new product of Leader Light the company owned by Coyle Adams, I sneered because I didn't like his face one bit and Olivia was his secretary if I remember correctly. Then I will have her resign, she cant be working for my enemy.
"Sir, permit me to say my mind" Bruno said and I frowned before giving him the go ahead.
"I know you are a perfect business man but you lack in the area of romance, how could you marry the woman you love forcefully? Haven't you heard the saying that if you love something you need to learn to let it go?" he asked and I gritted my teeth, she will learn to love me with time…why should I let go what I love?
"And also…."
"If you say one more word then your salary is at risk" I warned angrily and he swallowed hard before continuing the driving in silence.
