Mia’s Point of View
...continuing from the previous chapter
When I got out, there was a mansion ahead. I wouldn't say it was a mansion, more like a manor. It was huge. A little old-fashioned, but had the right amount of modernity.
"No need to stand there Mia. We have places to be when the sun is up," Sebastian said to me
"I don't want to be here," I said to him. I can't sign my life over to this man.
"Either you walk or I will carry you myself. You won't like that," He stated as he walked toward the house, and I followed him, feeling sad all over again.
There were guards everywhere. If I wanted to escape, it would be really difficult because now I see the front yard, cameras, and men with guns. Now I'm starting to believe that he's really a mafia leader.
When we got inside the house, he motioned for me to follow him up the stairs then he showed me to a bedroom motioning for me to enter. I looked inside the room, and it was dark, so I didn't walk in. I'm not an i***t.
"I'm not going in that room," I said to him. He held my arm bringing me inside the room then switched the lights on.
"There are a few clothes in the dresser on the right side of the room for you, and we will be going clothes shopping for you tomorrow because I didn't get the time to do so. Get cleaned up and you'll have some food soon." He said to me
"When will you let me go?" I asked him.
"There's only one way out of this, and you already know, but don't worry, you'll be living a luxury lifestyle and the only thing you'll be worried about is when you step out of line," He said to me.
Luxury lifestyle? What was I supposed to do? Jump for joy?
"This is my room, right?" I asked, stepping away from him
"This is our room. We may never know who is watching. I'll fill you in when I take the food up" He said, leaving the room and closing the door.
Tears immediately pooled in my eyes, running down my cheeks. I walked to the drawer, opened it, and the clothes that were in the drawer were sleepwear. The kind you wear when you have a partner. What is this guy's deal? I decided I wasn't going to wear those and took out my underwear.
When I walked into the bathroom, it was beautiful and huge. I closed the door behind me, stripped from my clothes, threw them in the basket then stepped into the shower, turning the water on. Everything I needed was already in the bathroom.
After I finished showering, I dried my body and then took down one of the white bathrobes, putting it on. I tied the front and opened the bathroom, walked into the bedroom, and saw Sebastian taking his clothes off. My eyes widened, then I quickly looked away, not wanting to make him feel uncomfortable.
"Are there any other clothes I can wear besides the night clothes?" I asked him, walking over to the bed and seeing a covered tray on it.
"If you want to wear one of my shirts, fine, but that's as many clothes as there are for you," He said to me.
"Well, if you wanted me to go clothes shopping with you, what did you expect me to wear?" I asked, glaring at his head. I didn't dare look at his naked torso because I was afraid I might actually like what I saw.
"There's a dress in the drawer and I have nothing else. So quit complaining because I have the rules to lay out for you and some things I need to tell you." He said to me
"You're not my father," I stated. He looked up at me.
"Sit down so I can start. I don't have time for chit-chat," He said to me. I sat down on the bench in front of the bed, and he placed the tray next to me and grabbed a chair sitting in front of me.
"So what now?" I asked him. He put some food on a plate and handed it to me.
"These are things you have to remember and don't try to change anything up. We met on a dating app two years ago while you were in a relationship. We hit it off while we were going through a rough patch, and then 6 months ago I came to the US. Not only that, but we spent that time together then I proposed 4 months later," He said to me
"No. I am not going to say we were messing around because I'll look like I was cheating on Charlie," I said to him.
Why did I give a f**k about Charlie? He was f*****g Tina and lying to my face about it.
"I wasn't asking. The second thing I want you to remember is that I proposed to you on a moonlight picnic, some s**t like that, and you've never been happier." He said to me
"You kidnapped me and dragged me to another continent," I said to him
"You think you're funny, but I won't be repeating myself. I'm 28 years old, my full name is Sebastian Antonio Genovese and I have two younger siblings. Both boys. Lucian is 21, going to college, and Christian is 25 and self-employed. He is currently in America with his girlfriend of 3 years. I was born on December 27th. My father's name is Killian, and he has been remarried for 2 years now to a woman called Marian." He said to me
"Christian that was with me when you kidnapped me is your brother?" I asked him. He smirked.
"He owed me a favor, so of course," He said to me
"You're f*****g sick," I said to him
"You need to watch your mouth because I won't be so laid back as of tomorrow. If you step out of line or try to disrespect me, I will fix that," He warned.
"You're acting like there's a stick shoved so far up your ass," I said to him. He chuckled, humorlessly.
"Rules now because you're clearly pissing me off," He said to me.
"Okay, what?" I asked.
"Firstly, no leaving the premises without me. No explicit dressing around guests. Always accompany me to events. We will kiss every so often in front of the maids, chauffeurs, and anyone who sees us. We sleep in the same bedroom. Dates every weekend. I'll take you shopping once per week, so we can get out of the house and be seen outside together. Use realistic nicknames, and I'll call you babe or baby. No weird name-callings. No trying to escape, no planning behind my back, and no stupid actions. If you step out of line, I'm going to ensure your parents end up jobless, homeless and your brother won't find a job at a McDonald's store. If you utter a word about this to anyone, I'll make you wish you were dead." He said to me, and the way his eyes went dark made me swallow hard, feeling tears about to spill.
"Okay," I said to him
"I'm not going to abuse you or treat you badly, but I won't sleep with you, unless you want me to, of course. I will have my conquests here and there. To them, I'll be cheating on you, but you already know the truth. You also won't be able to see anyone else because then that wouldn't be very much lady," He said to me. I bit my tongue and then laughed.
"If you choose to have your conquests, it's only fair I can have someone too. I'm not stupid and if you think I'm going to be known for being a stupid girl who doesn't know her worth then you have another thing coming. As far as I see, you want this deal, and you spent 8 months stalking me, so you need me at this point. I could easily run my mouth and not care if you want to kill me. Yes, I'll lose my life, but then everyone will know you got married for a deal. So if I can't sleep with anyone, neither can you" I said to him
"I have needs, and I'm obviously not going to get it from you," He said to me
"Well, I have needs and I most definitely don't want s*x from you, but God gave you two hands. I'll do anything but looking stupid for anyone is not one of them," I said to him
"Hmm, anyway, I don't care what you say. I'm stating my rules. Now let's continue and eat" He said to me.
"By the way, McDonald's is a restaurant, not a store," I said to him
"I didn't ask," He stated.
Bastard.
