His Unwanted Wife

Dimitri Pov : "Really Mother? Marriage?" I rolled my eyes when I heard her talking about me getting married, again. I was sitting in my father's office and trying to look busy whilst ignoring her, but NO, she insisted. This weekend when I decided to visit my parents in Switzerland, I knew that I would regret my decision and damn, I was right. It's been 2 years since she’s tried to force me to find a good woman to marry. Not that I didn't like women, in fact, it’s quite the opposite, but I'm not looking for a committed relationship or like she says, a wife. I can't imagine myself having to sleep beside the same woman every night, how boring it must be. "Dimitri" She raised her voice, knowing that she can't force me to do what she want. "Your father is sick and we need grandchildren. You need an heir, you are the last Swavrovsky and we are a noble family, not like some arrogant and snob rich people" she scoffs. I groaned and bent over so my head was on my lap. I hate this conversation, always telling me the same line. It’s over exaggerated. I felt her sit beside me and put her hand on my head "I know it's a big decision for you" She said softly, I know now she’s coming up with another plan "But, at least just think about it. Or if you like, I'll give you some names that we think will be suitable for you and all you have to do just say yes if you want her or not" I sighed, knowing that I'm not gonna win with her. At least I can choose the girl and she will shut up for a while. I raise my head and look at her. She put on her sweet smile while waiting for my answer, she know she had won this battle. I shook my head, I can't believe I'm giving in to her. "Fine" I groaned and point my finger quickly before she can open her mouth and say something else "But... I choose her and if I say no, then it's a big NO, don't push and forced me" She nods her head and I saw tears in her eyes, God, she's really overreacting. "Oh Dimitri" She squeals and hugs me "You won't be disappointed. I'll search for the perfect girl" She assured me before leaving. I turn my head when i saw Alicia, my niece, coming in after my mother and closed the door behind her. She grinned; I know she heard everything just by looking from the expression on her face. "You're getting married?" She teased and sit beside me. I rolled my eyes before i answer her "Only to shut her mouth" I told her the truth and she gasped. "I can always say NO to all the girls she suggests" I winked and she shook her head. "You're horrible, uncle" She mocked me and I laughed. I know I'm acting like a teenager; I’m 29 years old, never thought of settling down yet and have a wife. But, I have my own reasons, yes reasons that I don't want to change anytime soon. No girl will make me fall and change my mind. "But uncle" I heard Alicia voice snap me from my thoughts "What if one of the girls that grandmother pick is the one?" She asked me and I sighed. She's 14 and naive, so I know she still believes in that happily ever after thing. It took a while for me to answer her, because I was looking for the right word to try to satisfy her "Hmm.. nice question my dear" I put my hand on my chin and pretended to look that I was thinking "I think we should give her a chance, right?" I know it's the answer that she's looking for because she was smiling after I said that. "Oh great. I hope she's going to like me, I'm waiting for an aunt who’ll love me like you and then we can go shopping together, paint our nails and cut our hair and.... oh God, there’s so many things that we can do" She’s baffling and I smile at her. She just needs a friend. Alicia is my sister’s daughter, she's an orphan since my sister and her husband died in an airplane accident four years ago. So, my mother take care of her and I love her like my own daughter. I live in several countries, like France, Milan, Madrid, LA and more. I am very busy with my weapons company which is growing throughout the world. "Dimitri, The US called" James, my assistant came in and inform me. I nodded in understanding. I turn my head to Alicia who still reading the book in her lap "Alicia, dear. I have an important phone call; can you give us a minute? I'll give you some new clothes that you like in France" I said and she screamed happily before take her things and leave. I smile and shake my head, I know I shouldn't spoil her, but she's alone and I love her. "It's Dimitri" I spoke coldly into the phone. ******************************* "What did they want?" James asked when I hung up the phone, he takes a seat infront of me. Sighing, I run my hand through my hair, lost in thought. "They want to meet us. There's a meeting in New York in three days, and they invited us to join" I told him and he raised his eyebrow. "Should we go?" I shrugged "I don't know. You know I never want to get involved with them, with everything they’ve done, but this is the US that we're talking about" I said and James nodded agreeing with me. "It's a good business, but we need to be careful" He rubbed his chin when he spoke. I got up from my seat and poured myself a glass of wine. I walk around with it in my hand. "It's been a while since we went and visited that country" Finally I spoke and I see that he is shocked by what I said. "Are you sure?" James asked carefully and I nodded. "Prepare everything and we should go and meet them" I order him. James smiled and nodded before leaving me alone. I know what they want from me. I love my family and I’m gentle and nice to them, but as the owner of the biggest weapons company in the world and the Swavrovsky heir, people tend to make me their ally. As the cold hearted and mean guy people hear about, I don't care about anyone or any country. I am Dimitri and I'm on nobody’s side. ********************************* "DIMITRI..!!" I heard my mother’s voice calling me. 'Oh.. s**t' I thought and stop immediately what I'm doing. It's only been 3 fuckin' days since I stayed in Switzerland where my parents live but NO, they won't leave me alone, even in my own mansion. "Dimitri? Why’d you stop?" Emma, Echa, or Elena, shit.. I don't remember her name, asked me, when I got up from my bed and stop what I'm doing. "DIMITRIIII.....!!!" She gasped when she heard my mother yelling and this time, she sounded very angry "Who's that?" "Just go" I ignored her and put on my clothes. She gaped and still didn't move, like she couldn’t believe that I told her to leave. I sighed and grabbed my wallet and gave her some money. "Here, buy anything you like and go" I said and gave her all the money that I have in my wallet, I guess it's around Euro 3,000.- “I'm not a w***e, you bastard" She yelled. Great, two furious women in 1 day? Why did I choose her anyway? "Look, Elena or Emma?" "It's Emily" She snapped and took the money quickly before putting on her clothes. I chuckled when I saw her, WOMEN!, pretending to be angry but still can't resist the money. She stomped out of my room and I saw my mother when she opened the door, the lion is scary enough but not as scary as my mother’s face right now. "Go and don't you dare come back, you b***h" She cursed, poor Emma or what’s her name again? She ran down the stairs and didn't say anything to my mother. I go back to my bed, put on a pair of pajama bottom not bothering to put a shirt and waited for her wrath. "How dare you bring a w***e to my house?" She yelled when she came in to my room. I sighed "Please mother. This is my house, and you live one hour from here" "This is my country" She argued "And what if Alicia came here?" I shrugged "James would have warned me" She shook her head, knowing that she can't do anything in this situation. She gave me the silent treatment for a while and I just closed my eyes and waited for her to start speaking. I opened my eyes quickly when she threw something on my lap. It looks like a business file. "What is this?" "It's a list of girls that can be your wife" I gaped when I opened it, there are pictures and names on it. Pictures of women that she thinks are suitable to be my wife. "Seriously mother?" She scoffed " I know you live a crazy life and I’ve seen it with my own eyes, this should have been done years ago.” I didn't said anything, I know that it will make her more angrier than she is now and I start to open it. 1. Angela Locksley, 24 years old, Single, a volunteer in the Unicef, 1st daughter of the Locksley family from England. 2. Annabelle Cornwales, 22 years old, Single, student in Oxford majoring in social science, 1st daughter of the Cornwales family from England. The rest of the girls are the same, all from England and from a noble family, ple----ase. "All from England?" I question her. She raised her eyebrows "Yes, they are all from a noble families and I think England women have a little manner than the other countries" "Manner?" I mocked her "You don't know anything mother" She shook her head and put her hand on her waist when she heard me. "Choose wisely or I’ll choose her for you" She said and pointed her finger at me. I pushed it away and got up from my bed "Don't test my patience, mother" I said and she glared at me "I agreed to this, but it’s my life so don't push me. You can go and visit them to ask for their permission, but I'm still gonna live my life the way I want it and she must accept everything, and I mean everything. She can't whine or cage me with this marriage thing" She gasped "Dimitri, it's so cruel. You can't do that to your wife. I wish you’d get into a serious and committed relationship and stop seeing whores every night and do things with your life" She started arguing and try to convince me to marry willingly. I shook my head and put on my shirt "i agreed to getting married to please you and that my only request is that she won't force me to leave my own life. Take it or I can cancel whatever you want to do with me" I said easily, happy with whatever she chooses because it a win - win situation for me. "Fine" She groaned before walking out of my room. She raised her hands in the air like she cursed me with everything I put her through. I chuckled, knowing that this time it's me who won the argument. *********** Bianca Pov : "BIANCAAA..!!" I gasped when I heard my step mother calling and yelling my name. I quickly closed my laptop and ran to where she is. "Yes?" I asked breathlessly. She turned her head and glared at me "Yes? Yes?" She screamed. s**t, this is gonna be bad "I told you to make dinner before I got home, and what did I find? nothing, nothing!" She threw a book at me and it hit my head. "But, you said that you wouldn’t come back until 11PM and I thought that...." She slapped me and I gasped, quickly I put my hand on my cheek, tears building in my eyes. No one ever hit me before, not even my parents. But, she'll always easily put her hand on me. "Don't you dare talk back to me, you stupid w***e" She snapped "Go, now, I'm hungry. Make yourself useful" She screamed again before turning around and go to the living room, where my father sat and watched TV with a beer in his hand. I sobbed after seeing she put her hand in his and they laughed together while watching TV. I turn my head and went to the kitchen to start making dinner. I used to have a happy family, my mother came from England. When she started to study in Yale she met my father who had come to give some lecture, they fell in love and got married after a year in a relationship and they start living here, in Vancouver and making their perfect family. But, it was all ruined since my mother's death 5 years ago. My mother, died after she give birth to my supposedly little bother, and he follow her after 10 minutes in this world, but like the doctor said, they couldn’t survive and both of them died in the same day. After that, my father started drinking and he changed. He didn't care about me and he only stayed in his room and drinking. I am 19 years old now and I should leave him, but I can't leave him. I know he’s just sad after losing his wife and son, and I can't let him lose me, his only daughter. So here I am, 19 years old and still living with him and taking care of him. But, it all changed when Stephanie Ace came, she knew my father was grieving and vulnerable and used it to lure him. She is a greedy woman who kept accompanying my father in the bar, and when she found out my father have money, she seduced him and made him marry her. The day he married her, was the day that I started living in my nightmares. She’s always yelling at me and hitting me, when she doesn’t like what I’m doing or she is angry with something, I am her punching bag. My father, who is constantly drinking beer, doesn’t stop her or even care when I'm crying and screaming for his help. I know you must be asking, why didn’t I fight back? or why I didn't just go and leave this house? I tried, twice. And those were the worst days of my life. Well, you see, Stephanie has a cousin, well they said they were cousins. His name is Jenson and he is my worst nightmare. Jenson is the lowest man in the world, because he doesn’t mind putting his hand on a girl, for this matter, on me. If Stephanie asked him to, he'll smile evily before he kicks, punches or hits me again.. and again.. ang again. I hate him, I hate Stephanie and for all of that, I hate my father who is weak and brought her to this house, I hate them. I hope I can escape from this hell hole. *********** "Bianca?" I raised my head and saw that Trish, my only friend in this school, had called me. She walks over to me and sat down across from me, smiling. I take course to become a teacher in a local college, since Stephanie spends my parents money and she never allow me to touch any of it. So, I have to work for me to continue my studies. Actually, I want to go to art school, but it's very expensive and I can't afford it, so I think it's good enough that the local college have courses I can take. "Hey Trish" I greet her and return her smile. She gasped and looked at my face closely "What happened to your face? The b***h did this again didn’t she?" She sounded angry, she knows everything and she's the one who tried to help me run away from my house. But, we are both scared of Jenson and I know I can't put her life in danger too. I just smiled and didn't say anything, because she already knows what my answer. "I just hope that you can get free from them soon and be happy" She said softly and she sniffed. "Thank you, Trish" ********* I’m shocked when I got home and hear my father’s and Stephanie’s voices. They seem to be having an argument and are fighting. Oh God, I hope my father finally has opened his eyes and knows the real Stephanie. It's been a while since I have heard his voice. "It's your wife’s faults. She made us go through this" She’s screaming and I gasped, what does she mean that this is my mother's fault? How dare she? "Don't you dare defend her, you know I'm right" She said again and this time I can't hear my father voice arguing with her, is he lost? She mocked my beloved mother and my father didn't say anything to defend her? I put my hand over my mouth so they can't hear me. It silent for a while, I don't know what’s happening in there. "So, what do we do now?" It's Stephanie voice again. I don't know what’s happened, their conversation seems serious and it made my father talk, for almost year I haven’t heard his voice and today, he talked. "I guess, I know the Swavrovsky family, but I forgot" I heard my father say and I gasped. I know them, Denice Swavrovsky is my mother's best friend, but what happened to her? Why did she mention her family? She scoffs "You think? Since when did you use that stupid head of yours? Just drink your beer" I shook my head when hearing how she talks to my father, how can he stand her? how come he didn't say anything? "I think, we better pay this debt and give them what they want. Honestly, I'm glad that they want her as the p*****t, she's only a burden to us" She? Who's she they're talking about? "But" My father tried to argue with her, but I heard her cut him off "Don't but me, you stupid man. How much debt are they talking about huh? do you know? At least, she's useful for paying your debt with her life" "I don't know..." "Just, shut up" She yelled and cut my father off again "I made my decision, I gave your daughter as our p*****t to them, and you can't stop me" I gasped and slumped down when I realize what they talking about. It's me who they’re talking about, they’re using me as a p*****t for their debt to this Swavrovsky family. Me.. Me.. Me...? They will sell me?! 'Mom, what now?' I thought to myself. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
