"Why are you smiling?." I ask Tess.
She just walked into my room with a large smile.
"Your hubby can't wait again, he wants this wedding this week."
This week.
Just two more days before the week ends.
Why is this happening to me, fuck.
I was getting dressed for the lunch with Andrea and his parents, I planned on leaving and not coming back. I wish I could say goodbye to Lu but I can't. I know he won't let me go, he would try to get me out of this marriage and it will only get him in trouble.
I would hate if anything were to happen to him because of me, father would probably kill him if he knows what he is trying to do.
I smiled at her, I know she wants an reaction.
"I can't wait." I said forcing a smile.
"You are okay with it."
"Yes."
I walked out of the room, mom's eyes met mine when I walked into the living room.
"She told you." Mom asked and I nodded.
Fuck, I need to fight the tears back. I can't let any of them see me cry.
"I have to get going."
"Wait." I hear Dad's voice. "I have something important to discuss with Austin."
Fuck.
"Father- I wasn't asking, get in the car." He says harshly.
Fuck, I can't leave. If I argue more father will suspect me. I nodded and I stepped out.
Getting into the car, Dad got in and the driver drove, there was some kind of uncomfortable silence between us. It was usual some may say I got comfortable with it.
"It will be a simple wedding, I expect the best behavior from you." Dad says and I nod.
"Yes father." I reply.
When we got to the house, Austin and Grace were happy to see me. I had a smile on my face, I did like them.
Austin and father went upstairs to the office.
"How are you doing dear." Grace asks.
"I'm good."
"I know the wedding is a bit rushed up but I promise your wedding would be great." She smiles. "I know the wedding day is the most important day of a girls life."
"It is." I whisper.
I loved the way she cared about what I wanted for a wedding when she didn't even know me much. She has shown a lot of concern for this wedding.
I tried to ask about Andrea but she ignored it or tried to change the topic. Why doesn't she want to bring him up.
"Is he on is way." I ask and she nods.
The fucker is not coming, I don't think he is.
It's being an hour since I got here, she suggested we start lunch without him.
"Can you tell me a bit about him."
"He loves his peace and quite, doesn't speak much."
Ask her, my subconscious says.
"His ex- we don't talk about that in this house." She says, this was the first time I heard her raise her voice.
"I'm sorry." I quickly said.
"Don't be dear, I shouldn't speak to you like this." She smiles and I nod.
Fuck. The suspense was killing me, the fact I didn't know much about my soon to be husband and the internet is of no help, there are no pictures of him and there are only terrible rumors about him.
I don't even know if there are rumors again.
Even his line of business was something I didn't even know about. I know father works with the underworld and I sworn to myself I don't want anyone like father. The men that work in that world are bad people, they hate, they kill and they are ruthless.
I know Andrea is a billionaire but fuck I wasn't sure what he did for a living, there are chains of clubs and restaurants related to his name though.
Hours passed and he didn't come, Father and Austin came downstairs. They had a smile on their face.
"Did you have a great time?." Austin asked.
"Yes I did sir." I reply and he smiles.
I hear his mutter "very respectful" to father.
"I trained her good." Father replied.
Trained me, what am I a dog. Fuck I hated how he spoke about me as if I'm some puppet.
I didn't even bother asking about Andrea again, he wasn't coming to come, why did they invite me if they knew their son will ditch me again.
Fuck. He probably knows what I look like which annoyed me more.
"I will see you in two days." Grace says and I smile.
Fuck the wedding.
I wish I was somebody else and I didn't have to do this. I was supposed to run away today but father had to intervene. I needed to find a way to escape in two days.
We were about leaving when a man walked in with hood all over his body.
"Young master." He says.
Is he talking about Andre.
"It's not his blood." He suddenly says and I notice the sign of relive on Grace face.
He killed someone, you can't tell me that is the blood of an animal.
