I woke up to the warmth of sunlight on my face. I bolted up as I remembered the dinner.
I went to get up to have a shower, only to be pulled back to bed.
"Where do you think you're going?" Nico's hand was wrapped around my wrist like a cuff.
"f**k off," I groaned
"Don't speak to me like that."
I scoffed, "What so you want me to just pretend to be the perfect wife then?"
Nico looked away from me, whether it was annoyance or shame I couldn't tell.
"Would marrying me be so bad?" he asked.
"I hardly know you!"
"Well, it wasn't that long ago you were about to give your virginity to me."
"That doesn't mean I wanted to marry you." I scoffed.
"Well then, why?" He wondered.
"Why what?"
"Why did you warm up to me? Why did you come to my room? why do you look at me like that? why do you drive me crazy?" He yelled across the room even though I was at beside him.
"I...I don't know. I thought I could just make the best of the situation. But I sort of felt something. But I don't know!" I ranted.
"Something is better than nothing," Nico turned to me, "Tell me, realistically, how you think your life would pan out when and if your father pays his debts."
"I'd either go to college or I'd find a good job and move out." I shrugged.
"But if you don't go to college, you'll never be able to get a good job. You'll always be scraping by."
"It's the price of freedom," I tried to sound confident.
"If you become my wife, you'll never want for anything. I can give you everything. if you still wanted a job, I could find one for you. If you wanted to continue your education, you could do that too. We don't even need to have a traditional marriage. I understand you're young and will want to explore." he pleaded.
"But I will have to give you a baby. A heir." I stated.
"A boy,"
"Do I might have to have more than one baby until I give you a boy. How could I explore or go to college or work if I'm pregnant?"
"We can work around it." He insisted.
"What about me, though? Will you treat me as your equal?" I asked.
"Yes, of course." he agreed.
"And what if I decide I don't want an open marriage, will you be faithful?"
"Yes, I will." he nodded.
"Fine, then." I agreed and went to have a shower.
As I stood beneath the gushing hot water, my thoughts ran. Why did I agree to marriage? what had I done? I barely knew him.
what had I done?

That morning, I sat at the breakfast table. Which was a little more informal than the dining table from the night before. There were fewer family members, just the mum, dad, and siblings.
"So?" Bella pried looking between me and nico.
"So, we're getting married." Nico sighed.
The family collectively congratulated us as though last night didn't happen.
"So when will the wedding be?" Nicos mother asked.
"Next weekend," His father replied for him.
"Um, isn't it customary to be engaged for year?" I chuckled nervously.
"Not in this family." Luca rolled his eyes at his father.
"Well, Kat if you need any help with planning let me know!" Bella squealed.
"Oh, well, I think I am gonna need help, especially if I need to make all the decisions this quickly." I nervously twisted my napkin in my lap.
"I'll just make up a quick quiz list thingy and when you're finished eating come out by the pool." Bella got up and ran off with an excited smile.
"Don't let her freak you out," Nico chuckled as he rested his hand on my thigh.
I couldntve have been more aware or receptive to him, each cell that made him up. It made me angry that I was already so comfortable with him like this. Especially after our recent arrangement.

When I came out to the pool, Bella was lying on a banana lounge with a ipad in her hand.
"Heyyy!" she waved me over, "Okay so don't over think the questions."
"Okay," I nodded
"Favourite flower?" she asked.
"Um, either sunflowers or just wild looking flowers." I shrugged.
"Nice, now favourite cake flavour?"
"Blueberry sponge," I bit my lip, hoping that didn't sound too common for this family.
"Oh, yes, blueberries are full of antioxidants!" Bella gushed, "what other desserts would you like?"
"Um, Berry tarts, ice cream, pastries like croissants and things like that."
"And what savoury appetisers do you like?"
"Er, maybe chacuteri boards? Olives, meats, cheeses, and some fruits."
"I love chacuteri boards!" She wrote more down on ther ipad with a stylus, "What colour dress do you want?"
"What colours are there?" I asked.
"Well you could have blush, crystal, white, Ivory or any other colour. But dad wouldn't be very happy if you chose a colour other than the more traditional looking ones."
"Oh well, I think I'll just pick white." I decided.
"Okay, and are we thinking bodycon? mermaid? ball gown?"
"Um, I don't know, what do you think?"
"I reckon you'd rock a tight gown with a train, maybe a deep neck line." She scribbled on her ipad once more.
"Okay, that enough for now, Bella. you can text me the rest of the questions, and she can answer them that way." Nico motioned for me to stand up.
"Why? What do you need to do that's more important than planning the wedding? We need to go look at dresses like yesterday!" Bella glared at her older brother for ruining her fun.
"Well, the two of you can go dress shopping tomorrow!"
Nico led me away by my elbow.
"What are we doing?" I asked.
"We're getting away from my family." He sighed and pointed to a car, "We're going to go stay at my place I have here."
As we drove, he rested his hand on my thigh again, slowly it crept up my skirt.
"Nico!" I gasped when I realised he'd reached my panties.
"What's wrong, Kitten?" he smirked.
"Nothing," I shifted in my seat as I remembered the way his hands felt inside me. f**k.
His hand tugged at my panties, pulling them down a little. Once he'd gotten them out of the way he slipped a finger between my p***y lips.
"Mm, baby girl." He groaned as he realised I was literally dripping wet.
"are we almost there?" I gasped.
"Yes," He grinned as he pulled his hand back and licked his finger clean before pulling into a drive way. This was less grand than his father's estate but was none the less a mansion.
"Here," he held his hand out for me and led me inside the giant house.
"It has eight bedrooms, a pool, jacuzzi, bar, lounge and movie theatre." He showed me up stairs, " This way is to our room," we walked down the wooden hallway floors until we passed three even spaced doors and reached the end of the hall.
Inside the door at the end was the master bedroom. As he said, our bedroom.
in the center of the room was double king bed with a mountain of cushions in varying shades of blues, whites and blacks. The whole room followed the colour theme.
the velvety curtains that covered the floor to ceiling windows. The plush carpet. Even the bathroom.
"Come here," Nico motioned for me to come to the bed.
"Why?" I teased as I walked over to him.
"Because, you've been naughty." He smirked and bent me over the end of the bed.
