Pearl's POV :
Who thought me as in Pearl Bennett oops Pearl Anderson will be seating in Ryan's room fidgeting?
OK, I never ever thought I would be nervous on our nuptial night.
Our nuptial night.
Sounds so dreamy.
Dreamy?
Pearl, you are insane.
Whoa, I am losing it totally. Who talks with herself?
You. My inner self mocked me.
Oh, not again. I won't talk to myself. Huh.
Where is he? Isn't he going to come? Should I change my clothes? Should I fall asleep? What people does on their first night?
Please someone tell me. Its my first marriage for god sake.
Yeah, I saw it on TV drama. But in those, there is always a problem between the hero-heroine. They end up sleeping in different rooms. I am not from any drama. So it's not going to happen to me.
I think I should call someone to know what should I do.
But whom? Claudia? She is my cousin, newly married.
She can help me.
No.
She and her husband just eww. They are always sucking each other's face.
Louisa? Ashley? But they aren't married.
Khalil? He married last year. But he would feel uncomfortable.
Kara? Well it will be embarrassing to talk to her.
Mother? She is married, right? Oh why I am asking? Obviously she is.
I can call her. She helped me when I got my first period. She can help me in my first night also.
Feeling relieved I grabbed my phone from the nightstand beside the bed. But the moment I was going to tap the call, the door jerked open.
There standing, the Greek God himself. I can't help but keep staring at him.
"Like what you see? Click a photo, that will last longer." He gave me smirk which helped me to stop my ogling.
So embarrassing.
"That was the most cliché line I ever heard."
"So you drool over many men?" He furrowed his brows.
"No, I heard that line in many movies." I snapped.
"Well good for you." He said as he started unbuttoning his shirt.
"What are you doing?" Ok I don't stutter in these situation like those girls in novels. Why will I? This won't be the first time I will see someone half naked. Hey, don't imagine something naughty. I saw them on TV or movies. I am still a virgin and I love my virginity. I will only give it to the man I will love.
"Changing my clothes." He said as a matter of fact.
"No s**t Sherlock. If you can't remember, let me remind you have a walk in closet. You should change there." I gifted him my best glare.
"OK if you can't remember, this is my room." He said emphasizing every word.
"From today this mine too." I said crossing my hands over my chest.
"No, this was, is and will be my room. Only mine."
Is he a child? How would he manage to run Anderson & Co. one day?
"Please remind me tomorrow to tell uncle Rob that you still a child and you shouldn't be the CEO anytime soon." I mocked him trying to not show my nervousness.
"Yeah how can I forget you are the person who decides what will happen to me on behalf of my father? He is just a pawn of you, isn't he?" He gave me an evil smirk.
"What do you mean?" I really don't know what he is saying.
"Oh you don't know what I mean?" He c****d his one brow up.
"No." I winced at his tone.
"OK long story in short I didn't have any wish to marry you, but I had to."
"But why?" I mean if he didn't wanted to marry me. He could just tell my parents or me before. There would've been a chance for me and Nathan.
Oh shut up Pearl. He is your past. Get over.
My inner self scolded.
"I married you just for the CEO position. Don't know what spell your family do on my father. He blackmailed me to marry you. When he hands over me the business I will give you divorce." Ryan gives me a smirk.
What? He didn't just said that.
He did.
But why?
I wasn't even wanting to marry him.
"If you think that low of me and my family, why did you spoiled my life by marrying me?" I cried out loud. Yeah I am not feeling embarrassed to cry in front of him like those heroine in sappy romantic novels. I am just a normal girl for God sake.
"Trust me I don't even wanna touch you, but its not like you don't w***e around. Anyway, that's not my business. You are free to do anything but as you know we have to act as a couple in front of others. It's benefiting for both of us. So, be prepared for your most wanted life, Mrs. Anderson. Congratulations for your marriage." Saying that he turned and left the room.
It is not the life I imagined. It's not a fairytale. This house is feeling like a hell to me. I have to escape from this house and marriage. But how?
My all dreams were crushed by his few words. He will never know how much I was hurt. He has no right to speak with me like that.
He said I w***e around. I am still a virgin and he thought I am a w***e. Isn't it just wonderful?
Hell, I just got my first kiss today. I would rather say that it was stolen.
And I am a w***e?
A slut?
A prostitute?
A harlot?
A strumpet?
Is there anything else that I am but I didn't know?
Tell me I should know.
But whatever I may be, in his eyes, today, he just lost all the respect (if there was any) from my heart.
May be I will forgive him one day but I won't ever forget it.
