Blindfolded Marriage

Move out and move into Maxwell's house

Maxwell POV

In the morning we peacefully eat our breakfast with Jack in my suite. He read on his phone the news. While I enjoy every bite of the breakfast and my brain is not really functioning normally after what happened last night. I look up at Jack and I see the question on his face. I sigh in annoyance and look at him.

"Just ask already, Jack.

"I see so you can read my mind. I think I am confused but correct me if it's true. Did I hear Michelle left very early in the night? Monique said her friend was really upset because you told her something bad. Is it true? I thought that the girls with you always wanted another round than the general.

"Well, it looks like. That witch vixen might put a spell on me. I made a mistake and shouted her name when I c*m last night. Michelle got angry and left so quickly. It never happened before in my life.

"I never heard you talk like this about one of your exes before. Which one is the witch vixen? I might give her a try.-He laughs and winks at me. He thinks it is funny but not really. If I can't forget her soon my bed life might become boring. I know Isabella hates me and never lets me get close to her.

"The woman I am talking about is my future wife Isabella Taylor. I think she is off limits now and I don't think you have a chance for her because she has a boyfriend.-I answer him with a smirk on my face. His eyes widened when the realization hit him.

"Aha...you're already hooked on her. Maybe this arranged marriage is not bad at all for you. You never attached to any woman before just your d*ck for their p*ssy. I can't see myself settling anytime soon. Anyway, you will tell me how a husband's life after marriage.-He starts to laugh about me even after he looks again at his phone. I can't think of a proper answer so I just let it go. After we finish our breakfast we say our goodbyes. I head to my office and do some paperwork so I distract myself from this mess.

Isabella POV

After the winter break, we go back to school and I plan my painful heartbreaking wedding. Every bride should be happy when this day comes but for me, it's the last day of my freedom. I and William behave the same but in public, we keep a distance. After we are alone we can't keep our hands back anymore from the other body. I have our wedding date and it's due in four weeks. The decorations will be about winter: snow, ice, stars, snowflakes, etc. Everything will be white, silver and gold. Luckily I am friends with some designers so our dresses are in good hands and a very good wedding planner also helps me. Maxwell will pay the bills so I don't care what these all cost. My family and Maxwell's family made a list of the people we need to invite to our wedding. The number of guests reached five hundred and mostly arrogant business people. Even though everybody pushes me into this marriage I try to enjoy the moments before. I plan one of my dream weddings but the man will be by my side, not the same as I imagined. Kayla and William are the only ones who know the truth of how hard this arranged marriage is for me.

I always dreamed of a wedding like princesses have and they find their prince of charm. They fall in love and get married and live happily ever after. No power-hungry family or playboy bachelor on the horizon, just love and nothing else. But everybody knows that in real life nothing is that simple as in tales. So I focus on school and my grades. I want to be a good designer, be independent of Maxwell's money and family. I know that I will not be happy in this marriage so I have to fill my empty hours with work. I already went to some job interviews. After they saw my grades and my work they told me they couldn't wait for me to finish college and start work with their company. Looking forward to working in the future. Of course, some are the same as William because we plan everything together. I just finish school today when my phone rings with my dad's name on the screen. I wonder what he wants again so I answer the third ring.

"Dad. Good afternoon. What can I do to you today?

"Isabella. I want to tell you that I canceled your sublease for your apartment.-He just tells me as if it's a normal thing but no it's not. How can he do that to me?

"And where could I live now? That apartment was important for me because it is closer to the college.-I shout at him. I hate that he controls my life and I can't do anything alone.

"You can come back to our house or because you're soon to be the wife of Maxwell Evans you can move into his house. His family and ours discussed this and it's good for the tabloids also. You have to move out at the latest tomorrow. Maxwell knows about the situation and he said you can move into his mansion tonight.-I can hear in his voice that he is happy to tell this to me. Yeah, I am sure he is glad to know about this situation. I don't want to live with him, not now, not later. But the later is better than the now. What a mess? When I think I am out of one problem another just comes.

"But it is such a short time, father.

"You don't have much choice, Isabella. Either you come home for a while before the wedding or you can go to Maxwell. The choice is in your hands. See you on Sunday on your sister's birthday. We gladly welcome Maxwell if you want to bring him as well. Bye.-He says and just cuts the line. How much a daughter can hate her father? Well, the answer is very very much.

I call William and tell him everything. He is not happy about the situation but he says the better choice might be Maxwell's house than my parents. I need to agree with him. Maxwell is a busy businessman so he might not be home too much so we don't cross each other's paths. So my belongings will be at Maxwell's house but I can sleep anytime in William's apartment. Yeah, this can work or I hope so.

I go back to my apartment and start gathering my stuff. Luckily I always store some big boxes. I don't have many belongings and the furniture is included in the apartment. William soon after me arrives too and helps me to pack. Two hours later we both panting after finishing with the packing. Maxwell texted me and told me that his men will come and pick up my stuff. We don't have much time left before they come. We sit on the couch and look around for the last time. So many good memories in this apartment.

"This part of our life is now over. Many more will come. You should stay tonight at his house. If anything happens just call me and I will save you. No matter how late. Your safety is my responsibility. I love you.-He says and kisses my cheek.

"Yeah, it is so sad. I would rather stay with you but we need to pretend our distance. I don't know how I will sleep without you by my side. You're the first on my call list if something happens. I don't think my parents will save me from Maxwell. I love you and always will.-I turn his face while I say to him and in the end kiss his soft lips. We make out for a while before he says goodbye and I wait for Maxwell's men to arrive. I put my keys into my mailbox because they say we should do it this way.

Ten minutes later they show up with a big pickup truck. All four of them look a little creepy and ice-cold like Maxwell. The biggest man's name is Athos and he says he is the head guard of Maxwell. We must see each other everyday after today.

"Good evening Ms.Taylor. Mr.Evans sent us here to help you with your stuff. Please sit in the car and we take care of your boxes.-Athos says while he opens the car door for me and waits until I sit in the back seat. They quickly finish with the boxes while I wait for them. I have just six big boxes and all my life can fit into them. My old room is also there for me at my parents' house with a big wardrobe full of clothes, but I don't like that too much fancy clothes to wear. After they finish and hop in the car we head to Maxwell's mansion. We are driving around thirty minutes when we are taking a sudden left turn. The tire's contact with a different type of road with a long path lined with trees. A big iron gate with two letters on it M and E. Some guard stands by the gate and closes behind us. The huge mansion is on the view now and I think my chin is dropping to the floor. The car stops in front of a huge two-floor mansion. The double front door is big as a giant can walk into the building. The front door opens with a tall figure shown in the door frame.
