Unsettled Desires

CHAPTER 02

AMELIA'S POV:-

After spending almost three hours in the spa, I was ready to go. I stepped out of the room I was in. I found my mother speaking with a woman I did not know. As she saw me, she stood up and quickly came towards me. We went towards the counter together. "How much do I have to pay?" I asked the receptionist who was staring at my mother's face. I raised my brow and looked back at my mother. To my surprise, my mother was also looking at her. I snapped my fingers in front of their faces and they blinked a few times.

"Do you want me to pay or should I just walk away without paying so your manager will get it from your monthly income? How much do I have to pay you?" I asked her in an annoyed tone. She gritted her teeth for a few seconds then she masked her anger with a small smile. She entered my name in the computer without even asking me. Which was unusual because it was the first time I had visited that salon. I did not belong to that city. She then gave me the receipt and I gave her my smart card. 

"Ma'am, please sign on these papers. It's necessary. You visited us for the first time. We will make a special customer card for you. You need to sign these papers only. Then you will receive the card in a week." She said and I looked at my mother. She forced a small smile on her face and nodded her head. She was behaving really oddly. Or maybe it was her regular behavior. I would have known if she would have been with me. I turned around and grabbed the register to read the papers.

"You don't have to worry about it. I have already read it thoroughly and also have filled in all the details. Sign it quickly so we can go to the mall." My mother suddenly spoke from behind in a panicked tone. I frowned and looked at her. She had a nervous smile on her face. I sighed as I knew she wanted to spend some time with me. She was trying to spend quality time with me before I would be back home. I quickly signed the papers and handed the register back to the receptionist. She thanked me and I walked towards the door without waiting for my mother.

After the salon, she took me towards the mall to buy me some clothes. I had so many clothes but she said it was necessary. I did not know what was going on but she had started to creep me out. I was trying to keep myself calm. If it was not for the promise I had made to my dad, I would have ran back home. My home, not the small house my mother lived in. I hated that place and I hated to live with those strangers. I was not comfortable at all. But I could not break my dad's heart. He was my everything.

She chose a white dress for me. It was unusual as except for the bride, no one should be wearing white dress. But she was begging that it would suit me more. I rolled my eyes in annoyance but in the end, I bought that white dress. I bought matching shoes and accessories with the dress. After that, we went back towards our car. We both hopped into the car and drove off. While on our way back to home, I wanted to dial my dad and tell him how many things I had bought. But instead, my mom started talking to me about my hobbies and my interests. I could not help it. So I replied to each and every single question she was asking me.

MARKUS' POV:-

I was sitting into my room with a glass of whiskey in my hands. The bags were already packed and everyone was ready. I was not really happy to force a poor lady to be with me. But I could not help. I had to become the CEO and my dad set an obligation. He wanted me to marry the girl he would choose for me or otherwise my dad would name my cousin brother as the next CEO. Not that I hated him or something. I loved him as my own baby brother. But I had raised the company like my own child. I could not let that happen. I had worked day and night for that company. If it was not for me, our company would not be this much successful. But I was still helpless.

But I promised myself that I would do everything to keep her happy. I knew they had paid a lot of money to get that poor little girl. Of course, she was a little girl in front of me. I was twice older than her. I did not know a lot about her. I knew that she was way too younger than me. And I also knew that my parents paid one million dollars to get that girl. But I did not know who she was and if she was interested in anyone. But I decided that if she would be interested in anyone, after getting everything, I would set her free. I decided to divorce her soon if she would not want to live with me. 

I was helpless then but after getting my father's signatures on his will and the legal documents of the whole company, I would set her free. I just hoped that she would cooperate with me for three months. I knew I would convince her. After all, anyone would listen to you if you ask them nicely. I looked at the wall clock that reminded me that I still had some more time. After that, I had to get ready to show my face to that poor girl. I hated myself for using her like that.

My phone pinged with a text message. I sighed and grabbed my phone. I unlocked the screen and a picture appeared on my phone screen. It was the girl they had chosen for me. I gulped the whole content I had left in the glass in one go while looking at her. She was so gorgeous. I did not know that my parents bought a woman this beautiful. She did not look tall. I knew she could barely reach my shoulder as I was six feet and ten inches tall. Her long beautiful hair reached till her knees. If she would not wear anything, her hair could easily cover her body.

I smiled looking at the little princess. The white sexy dress suited her rosy pink complexion. She was not wearing a lot of makeup, but she still looked breathtaking. I put my phone aside and went towards the bathroom. I quickly got ready for my wife. Till then I was thinking to set her free as soon as I get whatever I want. But after seeing the most ravishing woman in this world, I started praying that she would give me a chance. Who could say no to someone this beautiful. At least I was not this stupid.
