Jacob Celestine is giving rose the information,because the rest of the family had already discussed it,before bringing rose up here to tell her about it.
You will be marrying Cole Shaw Of the Shaw family another big shot family in New York
The Shaw family are known to be versatile people when it comes to business.
Rose didn't argue with her father,she instantly nodded her head agreeing to what her father said. Rose has never heard of the Shaw family, rose has never seen anybody aside from her family and the staffs of their house
One time when rose first started her menstruation,she was scared because nobody was there to educate her on this type of things,rose just knew blood was coming out of her inner thighs,she felt it was as a result of the beating,she received the previous night,it was when one of the main came to deliver her once in a month food,she told the woman maid,the maid only look at her in disgust and told her it is a normal thing and she will continue to see this every month.
Rose has never known what education is or how the outside world operates.
After rose nodded her head,her father and the rest of the family started laughing and she was confuse,what was funny?she asked herself,then her older sister Clarissa spoke
Poor rose you think you have a choice? You think you are special because a marriage proposal came for you,well let me tell you something,I was the choice,but because of my modeling career and I suggested for Cole to choose you,and my baby would do anything to make me happy,so don't feel too important
The whole family started family including some of the maids.
Rose only said a thank you,because she didn't want to offend anyone.
Rose was then pulled by some of the maids
They didn't know where to hold on her body,because every part of her body was covered in bruises
Rose was taken to one of the smallest room in the mansion
She thanked the maids but they didn't respond to her
She was given a new dress and she showered for the first time in months or years.
By the time rose was done with everything
The Shaw family had arrived,when they saw Rose coming to the sitting room,they all kept quiet. Rose greeted them but nobody responded to the poor girl
Cole was already staring at her with pure hatred and disgust
Same with his parent and his P.A
Rose was asked to sit at the corner of the sitting room,everyone of them could see all the scars on her body,because her family didn't bother to give her clothes that could cover her body. She felt helpless and thought to herself that probably this was a normal thing
For the Shaw family to see her body and not react to it,it means it is normal to have scars like this. Rose was given a document to sign but she didn't know how to do that,she just kept starring at them,that was when the Shaw family realized she was an illiterate
Cole's mum Elizabeth was the first to speak
You want my son to marry an illiterate
Aside the fact she is 17
She is also an illiterate
The Celestine family looked at rose with hatred,Clarissa moved towards rose and slapped her hard that rose fell to the ground
Cole quickly rushed to Clarissa to check if there was any damage on her hand
Rose was pulled by the hair by her mother
The poor didn't react or make any sound
They had to hold the pen and guide her on how to write her name as signature to her marriage certificate,Cole came forward and reluctantly signed his own part of the contract.
Rose and Cole are now officially married by Law.
