Kalahari.
" formal or non formal?" he asked .
" non formal" I said .
I am not customary with law terms , it's better to go by what I can comprehend.
" you reply with yes or no. Along with reasons why where applicable "Mr Smith expressed.
" okay" I replied.
" you shall no longer live in your apartment"
I hate to leave .
" yes "
" all your assets belong to Mr Sanchez "
I don't have anything with me .
" yes "
" you shall have no relationship with any other man.
you shall not speak of what we do without my consent.
Only I have the right to touch you.
You will conduct your duties as my wife ." Pierce added .
He went on and on , basically stating what am allowed to have , makeup brand I should wear , clothing brand I should wear, shoe brand on my feet .
Practically am nothing but a slave to him.
" you shall wear short thigh high dresses and bare chest tops, no grandma clothes" he said .
" stop , no ! I will not let you do this " I said .
" I am not in approval to this marriage as you are ,so please just cooperate and we will get on just great "
" you need to be modest and considerate. How do you expect me to wear scantly and have an American accent. You are turning me into a s*x symbol.I teach kids , young boys and girls who look up to women as myself.How do you think they will perceive me dressed so s****l?"
" oh yeah ! You reminisced me that part too . " he said gladly
I was hoping he would be considerate.
" yes "
" you will not longer be working in that school"
" excuse me? "
" yes you heard it"
" this is ludicrous. All of this . Pierce I am not your slave " I blurted as I stood up.
" sit down ."
The door swang open.
" Pierce ! " Anna shouted.
Her voice sent a cold shiver down my spine.
" Pierce what is this ? David please leave us "
The attorney hastily left .He's scared of her too.
" Pierce what is the meaning of this? I did NOT endorse any of this . Kalahari do not sign anything. Pierce I told you to let me handle things myself .You messed everything up I will not let you do it again ! Come Kalahari let's go"
I felt like a child .
" She's mine ,I am going to be her husband.I have a say in all of this " Pierce stated angrily as he grabbed my hand.
" she's not your property Pierce.Shes a woman very competent of making her own decisions " Anna yanked me back .
" I am the one marrying her not you " Pierce heaved me.
" I found her first .You are outrageous with all this . " She pulled me , "we are leaving .This meeting shall not take place.From now on any convention you wish to have with her shall be through me."
He grimaced a little .
Before Pierce could object she ran out holding my hand.
Siblings fight. Quite interesting to watch.
We got into her Range Rover Sport.
" Pierce can be such an douche at times ." she growled
" maybe he woke up in a bad mood ." I replied.
She drove out of the parking lot.
" where are we off to?" I quizzed.
" for dress fitting."
I had earlier called the hospital where Molly was taken .Glad to hear she's okay and most relieved to hear her voice. She sounded so relived and optimistic.
Once she is discharged I will plan her a welcome home party.Hopefully she will be allowed to live with me .
Anna was really upset. I felt for her. She's trying so hard to clear her brother's name yet he's damaging everything.I will never understand why Peirce has a dark heart. His sister is a total opposite of him.Shes so compassionate .
" he wasn't that bad .I think he just needs someone to care for him " I muttered.
" not Pierce. "
" he seems kind and warm"
" was he kind when he shot you"
Say what !
"who me ?"
She gave me a sudden glint before staring back at the road ahead .
" yes you , Kalahari.I know he shot you . "
" I am lost " I replied.
" the doctors were able to retrieve the bullet from your arm . It came from a firearm that I am very familiar with .Pierce owns the fire arm. I was with him when he bought it... and when he used it ."
He shot someone?
" anyone can own a gun"
" but not that one. It's custom made "
Custom made !
She stopped the car on the side of the road.
" Kalahari, I want you to know that you are free to leave. I don't mind cancelling everything. I don't want you to risk your life.What Pierce did was wrong in all levels ."
" what will happen to the press. I hear they are already crowning us as the couple goals" I quizzed.
" don't worry about them. I can cook up something and they will buy it. What matters is you ."
I thought about it for a minute. She took her phone , sighed and dialled.
" hey Marcos ."
Her tone was sad.I can tell she doesn't want this to end . She had hopes in this.
I have heard that name .Mary was talking about him .On my first day of watching American news in the teachers lounge. She remarked how he is a well known journalist.His stories are always spicy .
I took her phone and ended the call .
" No Anna . "
I gave her the phone.
She beamed hopefully.
" We will continue with what we started . Pierce may be difficult. I have dealt with worse than him. Giving up is not an option.Women don't back down . "
" but he harmed you , he could do worse .I know my brother ."
" and I will be ready for him . " I replied.
Every man has a weakness. However strong they act ,one tiny weak spot and they are at your mercy.
Pierce has a limitation. I figured it out and now I will use it to my advantage.
" He can go to 100 really fast "
" when he came that day to my house. and held that gun at me.I could see it in his eyes that he did didn't want to shoot but rather warn me . He feels the need to dominate. That's why he hates me . He wants Dominance I will show him what real dominance is ."
She smirked.
" You never dissapoint. "
" never "
