Chapter 5

My wedding to Larenzo McLain was the talk of the City. The wealthy one just got married. The media was all over the place, the news on the television was about our wedding.

I walked to the house as soon as I came out of the car.

I walked straight to my bedroom, I was so tired that I pulled on the dress, annoyed at how my life was taking a turn that I did not plan for, something that I never asked for.

I heard the doorknob make a sound, and then the door opened and Larenzo walked in. He looked tired as well.

He walked past me, I was hoping he would at least ask me how I was feeling in all of these.

He sat on the bed, still on his clothes, I was about to remove my clothes before he came in.

" I am sorry for all of these," he said, not even looking at me, but thankfully he apologized for the stress.

He walked close to me, I walked back till I hit the wall, but he still came close to me, his hands touching my hands.

" I do not want to do this right now," I said to him.

He looked at me sternly, his lips curving into a small, I tried to walk away but he dragged me and pinned me back to the wall.

" Be still, I have been gentle enough, maybe it is time to show you myself, we are married now, baby" he said to me In a hoarse tone.

I froze in my spot, I did not see that part of him coming.

He grabbed my right leg, raising it, he pushed his lips to mine, making them relax on mine.

My heartbeat increased as I began to have little fear in me.

"Get ready for me tonight, you are mine now," he said to me, I could not make a move as I stood watching him, how did he hide this part of him?

" Thought you were a gentleman?" I asked, looking surprised.

" I am, do not just try my patience, I won't be nice," he said to me while taking off his clothes

He and his mother have the same trait, I thought he would be different.

As he pulled off his shirt, I swallowed in, I admired how he was bodily built, he looked like a yummy ice cream.

" Stare all you want, thank your stars you would be having this," he said to me

I looked away, I did not want to embarrass myself with the way I was staring at his body.

He went to the bathroom. A few seconds passed and I heard the sounds of water running in the bathroom. He was taking his bath.

I sighed, pulling my clothes off, I took off the wedding dress. I wore my regular outfit.

My eyes went to my ring, I was supposed to be happy being Mrs. McLain but I wasn't happy. I removed the ring and placed it on the dresser. It looked expensive, McLain must have spent a fortune getting it, but it did not move me, all of these annoy me.

I fell on the bed, then the bathroom door opened and he stepped out with just a towel tied to his waist, with water still dripping from his hair.

I swallowed hard, such gorgeousness, like he knew I was watching, he turned his face in my direction and I swiftly turned away.

" I will be downstairs," I said to him

" I am too hot for you right, but not now" he pulled me close to him, kissing me on my lips, he locked his lips on mine, and I pulled away from him.

I sat on the bed, while he dressed up.

I looked around the room, I opened a drawer and found a file there, my curiosity got the better part of me as I opened it and brought out a document, going through it, my head began to ache.

The document in my hand was the same as the one Mrs. Lucy gave me to see for myself.

I showed McLain the document, he didn't act surprised to see it, or maybe he knew about it.

" You knew about this even before you saw me in your house?" I asked him

" Put that right back where you saw it" he yelled at me. I was so shocked, I looked at him, this time, with a little hate in my heart.

" You knew about this but acted like you never knew, acted too gentle to me like you didn't know a very long time ago," I said to him, slightly raising my voice at him, I was pissed.

" I knew about this a few days back, just granted my mother's wish of marriage, just the documents I got days back before my mum brought you here," he said.

I calmed down a bit, but I was still angry.

" I hate all of these" I screamed.

He looked at me and laughed, " you should ask your parents why they signed it though" he said to me.

" And you should ask your mother why she would think such" I fired back at him.

He had finished dressing up and then we were about to head out of the room when his mum bashed in on us. I screamed, "Privacy please" but it was in my mind I screamed that.

She walked inside our room, went to the drawer, and brought out a file. The file she brought out was different from the one I had earlier seen.

I wondered what was inside.

" Have you seen this yet?" She asked McLain, who answered in the negative.

" Better," she said back. I stood watching her and how she quickly dashed out of the room holding the file like her life depended on it.

I turned to McLain. I didn't want to bother him but I must find out what was inside that file and what my parents had with this family in the first place that led to all of these.
