Chapter Nine

Emily Brown

After leaving the church, my new family took me to the mall and got my dress changed.

I wondered why they didn't take me straight to my new home and took me to the mall instead.

Whatever was their reason, I didn't know and didn't want to.

My husband kept a straight and cold face throughout. My mother in-law was also quite. She didn't speak much and was always stuck to my husband.

My father in-law was the only one who spoke to me frequently. He always kept a smile on his face and it made me feel a bit comfortable.

After changing my dress into a red silk knee level skirt with a single sleeved white blouse, they took me to a restaurant for lunch.

The restaurant was one of the biggest restaurants found in Q city. It was one of the landmarks in the city and I knew it belonged to the Grey family.

I've been to that restaurant once with my best friend Clara before. It was one of our dream restaurants. Their foods tasted great and were highly recommended by lots of powerful personalities in Q city.

I'll admit their foods are a bit costly, but it never bothered us. The only important thing was the taste.

We were served different kinds of food, almost all the food present there.

Our table was decorated with lots of different beautiful flowers and I was overwhelmed.

The table looked like it was to be used for a conference meeting. We were just four in number, but the foods on the table were meant for ten or more people.

My father and mother in-law occupied their seats first.

I was waiting for my husband to pull the chair for me like a gentle man, but who was I kidding?

He didn't even look at me once and occupied his seat like as if I didn't even exist.

"Uh...." I was about to say something but stopped. It was of no use expecting any gentleness from him.

I stepped forward ready to pull the chair myself and occupy my seat but my father in-law stopped me. He stood up and came close to me and said gently "Emily, please don't be bothered by what Angelo did ok, he's not used to doing such things for women"

He then smiled and pulled the chair for me to sit. I was surprised and happy at the same time. 'My father in-law is such a gentle man '

I couldn't help but smile at the thought of this and said to my father in-law "thank you....." I wanted to add 'dad' but I wasn't sure whether he would be ok with it or not so I didn't complete my sentence.

Looked like my father in-law could read through my mind. Seeing my hesitation, he looked at me keenly and said with a grin " you can call me Mr Williams if you want "

'Mr Williams?' I recited the name in my mind. Shouldn't I be calling him dad? Even if he didn't want me to call him dad then at least he should allow me to call him father in-law. But to call him by his name was too much.

"But if you think you are not comfortable with it then you can call me dad, I just wants to let you know that am friendly" my father in-law said seeing questionable look on my face.

I smiled slyly and nodded.

All this while my husband and mother in-law were quite and were busily having their food. I stole glances at the two of them while eating and couldn't understand anything about them.

Angelo Grey

I knew that not pulling the chair for my new wife at the restaurant was going to give her a hint of how miserable her life was going to be with me.

I wanted to make her feel regrets on the first day of her marriage and I almost succeeded, but my stupid father ruined everything.

Why did he have to pull the chair for her like as if he's the husband and not me.

I was glad my mom was present, or else I would've taught that man the biggest lesson of his life.

My mom has been the only woman in my life, who is able to calm me down when am angry. If not for her presence today, I would've done something terrible.

I was happy now this fucken lunch was over. I strode out of the restaurant with my mom leaving my wife and dad behind.

We went straight to the car and waited for my wife and dad.

"Do you like her?" My mom asked me out of blue.

"What do you think?" I replied her with my own question.

"Listen sweetie, am only going to like and accept Emily whole heartedly if you like her. But if you think you are still not content with her and wish to go by the deal we made then please let me know" she said looking straight into my eyes.

I rubbed my hands through my hair and remained quiet for a while. I was thinking about what my mom said just now.

But why should I even think about it? I've decided already to make her life a living hell, which means that I don't like her right?

But why am I questioning my feelings now?

"Huh....." I sighed loudly and pouted " don't worry mom, I won't and will never like her. We are going by the normal deal "

After uttering these words, I felt a bit uneasy and uncomfortable in my heart.

It felt like as if I just rejected the most precious human in my life.

Like I just rejected my mate if I were to be a ware wolf.

"Ok, if you say so" my mom drew me out of my thoughts.

I checked on my watch and realized I've been in the car with my mom for about twenty minutes now and my wife and dad hadn't come out yet.

'Why are they still inside' I questioned myself and couldn't help but go inside to figure out what was going on.

Upon reaching inside, I saw the most shocking scene of my life ever.
