Chapter 4: Mysterious

AVERY slowly opened the document as she began to read through as her eyes dilated and shock was registered on her face. What the hell is this ?? She said frustrated and angered. You are now my wife now. You are the wife of a billionaire. He said coldly and with all form of seriousness that froze Avery. Now sign it!!

He ordered but Avery refused as she tore the documents into pieces. I WILL NEVER ACCEPT YOU A STRANGER AS MY HUSBAND. Avery cried as she fell to the ground in so much pain. But James was unfazed as he walked out of the room. Avery cried and cried till her eyes were swollen and puffy. Night came, Avery was still seated in the same spot. Her teary face was in so much grief.

Why. ?? She thought a tear rolled down her cheeks. Why is the world wicked?? She thought.

First, her mother left her and her father and came to threaten them to leave the house in one week. Second, her father is owing a huge amount of money worth billions. She thought as more tears rolled down her cheeks. She kept crying silently. She didn't know what to do or she should survive.

Should she just commit suicide?? Or. She didn't know. She wept. Maybe committing suicide is better than suffering. She thought as more uncontrollably silent tears rolled down her cheeks badly. After crying for so long, she stopped and wiped her tears away as a new wave of determination surge through her. She won't die and leave her father in this wicked world. She will do everything to save her father life even if she gets married to a monster. She thought and took in a quick deep breath to calm her racing heart. She stood up and went to the bathroom to wash her face and dried it with a towel. She looked more calm than before and composed. She took in a lot of deep breath before leaving thee guest room and walked through the long hall way and was once again mesmerized by the oh so beautiful paintings on the wall. While she was admiring the painting, she came across a beautiful yet mysterious painting. It was an image of a dark man wearing a black mask holding a sword. She was about to touch it when her eyes fell on the same man she saw in the Guest room. The man who claims to be her husband. He was a looking at her with a cold glare that sent shivers down her spine. She gulped nervously and moved backward her back hitting the wall. He moved closer to her but not too close.

Why did you tear the document?? He asked probing at her. I ...I can't be your wife. She added not tearing her gaze off him. You are already my wife. He smirked as he snapped his finger and a hefty man came holding a letter. It was the same letter her father gave her. She thought. Open the letter and read the content of the letter to her hearing. He said with the most iciest tone ever.

The hefty man opened the letter and read thus:" I hear by give my daughter Avery to you to become your wife if I am unable to pay my debts. ".

Avery was in total shock as tears began to fall off her cheeks. She was about to fall because of the shock. How could her father do this to her ? Why ? Why? This is not fair at all. She thought as she broke down in utter tears. Pain was evident in her face. Is there no way out of this? She asked brokenly. I don't know. Tomorrow is an important day. Be prepared ahead. He said with a heartless Tone and with that walked away. Avery fell to the ground crying non stop. She can't count how many times she had cried that day. After crying for so long, she was about to go to the guest room when one of the maids came and took her to the master suite. She followed silently as the maid opened the door for her ,bowed and left. Avery slowly walked inside and was surprised. The room looks magnificent and utterly beautiful. It had a chandelier on the ceiling

Avery sigh and was about to sit on the bed when she noticed the documents. The same ones she had torn out of anger. Her heart bled at the sight of it but she had no choice. She picked up a pen and signed it leaving it on the table. She dashed to the bathroom and had her night bath.

After bathing, she came out of the bathroom wearing a white robe and went to the next door to get changed presuming that as a dressing room. She changed to a pyjamas and got out of the room and slept on the bed.

" She was in a desert covered in blood. She was dying as she fell to the ground and before she could close her eyes she heard clashing of swords and before she knew it, she heard a piercing sound and. Nooooooo!!!!!!!

Avery woke up gasping hard. What was that dream. Avery held her chest as she was covered in sweats and tears filled her eyes. She closed her eyes and prayed before going to sleep.
