Zane's words were like electricity and it shocked Emma to the heart. Her heartbeat immediately shot up to a higher frequency.
She couldn't believe what she just heard. Emma couldn't help but voice out.
"Marry you.... But we are strangers. We don't even know each other!"
How could she marry a stranger. It was impossible. She wouldn't be able to do such a thing.
Zane simply moved his eyes to Emma bosom, which caused Emma breathing to increase, and then his eyes moved beneath Emma bosom.
"So you can seduce a stranger, but you can't marry one!"
Emma was stunned to the bone. She had no idea on how to respond to Zane's words. She didn't want to struggle with Mr Connor, that's why she dressed like this, willing to accept her fate, not knowing Mr Connor wasn't the boss.
She wished she could tell Zane that she didn't want to sell herself short, but she doubts he would believe her.
Zane touched Emma's chin and raised her head up with one of his fingers.
"Don't play with me, little angel. You are owing me, have you forgotten. So you will do exactly what I tell you to do"
Emma managed to give Zane a nod, her body was hot and it was getting hotter by the minute.
Zane stared into Emma's eyes for a while before he let go of her.
He stepped backwards and turned to face his bed. He threw the documents he was holding on the bed before he said.
"You can go to your room. I am a man with holy principles. I won't touch you until we get our marriage certificate."
Emma was happy to hear this, but at the same time afraid. She was basically getting married to an unknown man that she had no idea of.
The thought of it was making Emma's heart pound heavily, that she didn't know that Zane was talking to her.
Zane reached Emma fully before she woke up from her shock.
"You can go to your room. Since you are so desperate, we will get our marriage certificate tomorrow."
Emma's heart jumped violently, she immediately dashed out of the room. Zane couldn't help smiling as he closed the door.
Emma rushed to her room and shut the door. Her heart was still pounding heavily, despite being alone now.
Zane's words arised all sorts of negativity inside her, she couldn't concentrate anymore.
Emma stayed beside the door for a while before she gently walked to her bed, but she decided to look at the mirror, only to discover that her bosom was on full display, this made her heart beat violently.
She collapsed on the bed and rolled all over it, before she finally stopped in the middle. Her eyes were on the ceiling. She wondered if she would still be put in the market or getting married had brought her freedom.
Why the sudden marriage? She was confused. Could it be that the handsome ruffian fell for her body, that certainly doesn't count as love, just lust and possession.
Soon she would be outdated and he would find somebody else, but if he could promise that she wouldn't get to pay the money, then it would be a win-win situation, however, the thought of her husband bringing in another woman or chasing other women outside didn't sit well with Emma.
Emma sat upright, if only she could control him.
What would she do to make him respect her and treasure her.
She wished she had somebody to talk to now. The thought of her mom came in, if her mom knew Mr. Jefferson was evil, surely she wouldn't have married him, unlike where she was now, she knew this young man was evil. Imagine what she would face once he gets through with her.
Emma could only rest on the bed fully. She just didn't know what to do. Her worst nights were yet to come.
**
Zane was lying flat in his bed, he had been rolling for over an hour, yet sleep wasn't coming. How could he sleep when the image of that girl was flashing in his head?
Everything was clear, clearer than HD quality.
He had never seen anything like that before, it was so... so. Zane couldn't help but swallow deeply, but he frowned the next moment.
He could believe she was trying to seduce him, just imagine, she even thought it would be Mr Connor, that old man.
Just Imagine what she would do for money and power, it was very clear to Zane now that Emma was a gold digger, why else would she dress that way for Mr Connor.
Zane was still angry, but Emma body came resurfacing in his head again.
He looked down on his pants and exclaimed.
"Damn, she was hot"
