Chapter 3:
Damn he's so annoying…I trailed behind the Xavier guy ,we walked down a rows of seemingly endless stairs .Then he led me into a garage,The cars there screamed of 'luxury!!', The air was thick with the scent of wealth and privilege.He opened the door of the third car in the first row, It was a sleek red colored limousine and gestured to me, "After you,Miss Lara"I wondered why he chose this car, was'nt it just the both of us, my question was answered when a group of men in dark suits walked towards us, I was scared when they paused in front of me and bowed,we're here to escort you home, Madam.I was confused as to what ' home' they were referring to, "What home?"I asked trying to keep my voice steady ."Sir, instructed us to take you to your matrimonial home" The apparent leader replied, " I'm jeremy , your body guard and i'm the head of the Birling's third security unit" he added with a hint of pride, please…he also gestured, I just noticed that Xavier was still in the same position,his right hand on the door handle and his left hand pointing to the car ,I hesitated but I had to find out what the hell's going on,so I went into the car, I surveyed the interior of the car,As we glided through the large compound, I studied the GPS screen and my eyes popped out as I realized the location we were heading to,it was the BIRLING'S villa, I just remembered that Jeremy mentioned 'Birling', I did not think much of it but now I realized that this people might be related to the Birlings ,who the hell was I messing with?!!,As we drove out the gate I noticed the beauty of the three storeyed castle , I also noticed two cars following us. We arrived in front of a giant gate after 15 to 20 minutes, but it was not far,why did we have to go by car,we could just trek, This is wastage of gasoline,If Max was here he would have scolded me,he wanted us to save all the extra money on our 'future' but he lied, he wanted to spend it on other women and not just any woman,my best friend,He didn't even allow me to use my own money or to drive the car I bought for him but he drove leah back home because 'it was the same route',he was such a jerk,now that I think back,I had always been a maid to him, my eyes became teary and I bit my teeth hard to hold back the tears, Xavier parked the car in the lot and opened the door, "we're here miss Lara", I stepped out gazing up at the gigantic building, I did not notice the tear that dropped down my cheek and was now rollling towards my jaw until a familiar annoying voice rang from behind 'It seems like you 've never seen a house this beautiful in your entire life so much that it made you shed tears' hmmmp ,he rolled his eyes and walked towards the door , "No, I…", I started but he already walked towards the door, right why will I explain myself to such an annoying dick.Two ladies in uniform were standing by the large door, It was twice the annoying man's height, It had two parts like a wardrobe ,both ladies held one handle each, it was as if both knew the exact time the exact time the other was going to pull the door handle because they opened the door exactly the same time,They smiled at us and bowed, their smile was beautiful but professional,it was too stiff, I followed the man into the house and my legs went numb at the elegance of the sitting room,it was bigger than my neighbourhood, I felt a sense of awe but also a sense of unease,To the left there stood a collection of wine, alcohols and drinks in a transparent but slightly toned with brown colors cupboard,They were rows of stools in front of it and a huge chandelier above it,it was so big,I was afraid it will fall down, That area was practically a bar, A luxurious one at Xavier seem to sense my unease "Make yourself at home, after all in a few minutes it'll be yours" Xavier muttered as he walked away. 'sit', The man snapped "I know you are confused as to who I am and where you woke up or how you got there, I'm Andrew Birling" He said as if that name explained the situation or as if he was some big shot I was supposed to know,I knew about the Birling family,they were loaded and were very influential in New York City,They are the 'real deals' but there is no press in the whole of America that writes about them unless they want their company to shut down so I've not heard about him,nor do I know if he's lying but I kept mute anyway. 'Xavier' he motioned , Xavier brought a suit case in and handed a Mr Andrew a brown file , "Here is it sir", Andrew took the file and handed it to me, "please look at our marriage contract"I was shocked at first, but I passed it off as a joke, "Mr Andrew, you sure know how to crack funny jokes"I laughed but I noticed none of them laughed along with them, Is everyone in this house just naturally cold that they can't laugh at their own joke?, "Miss Lara, I hope you don't take me for granted, I'm not the type to joke around during serious moments, look at the contract, sign it and we're done here"he replied coldly .I took the file, my heart pounding.what secrets did it hold?,As I opened the file my eyes widened in shock ,It was a marriage agreement between Miss lara and Mr Andrew!!, but before I could react further, Andrew's voice interrupted me.I think we've covered enough for today, don't you Miss Lara?, I looked up, searching for answers.But Andrew's face was impassive, his eyes glinting with a hint of amusement.I felt a surge of anger,Who did he think he was, playing games with me?. But as I gazed into his eyes, I saw something there, something that made me wonder if I was just a pawn in a much larger game…
