“Awwn, I’m glad that you agreed to that, there are a lot of things I want us to discuss,” Grace said.
“We will definitely do that when we move it, mother,” I replied, smiling.
“Okay dear, I am really happy for you my son but why didn’t you tell us and did you guys have a wedding?” She asked.
“We just got a marriage certificate,” Carter replied, bluntly.
“Oh, that means we should plan a wedding for the..”
“Grace” Carter’s father called.
“Yes Honey”
“Leave them alone Grace, they are going to decide if they are going to have a wedding” The Kingpin ordered.
“Of course, Honey,” Grace replied.
That was the last conversation that was had until we finished eating.
Carter led me to a room and we went inside, “we will sleep here then go back tomorrow” he said.
“Okay” I said then went to the chair beside the window and sat down.
I gazed out of the window overlooking the garden which was very beautiful and breathtaking.
“I will be sleeping here,” I heard Carter say.
“It is fine, you can…, wait did you just say?” I stood up from the chair.
“I have to sleep here, sleeping separately will make my father suspect” he explained.
“Fine but you have to sleep on this chair while I sleep in the bed and you won’t…”
“Touch you?, is that what you wanted to say?.
Listen you seem to forget that I own you now, Abigail”
His eyes had darkened and turned into slits, he was gazing at me with a deadly stare.
“I am sorry, I didn’t forget” I whispered and sat down back at the chair, my eyes on the floor.
Footsteps came closer to me until I saw shoes on my front.
Carter pulled my face up so that I was now staring at him.
“Do I need to remind you what you are to me?” his voice was low.
Carter could kill me if he wanted without even batting an eye and no one would question that.
“I am really sorry I forgot about my place, please forgive me” I pleaded, tears streaming down my eyes.
There was no way being sassy would help me so I just had to drop it and focus on surviving.
“Yeah that’s more like it” he muttered and wiped the tears streaming down my face after which he chuckled softly.
“Wash up and come to the bed” he whispered and walked into the bathroom.
I released the breath I was holding and relaxed in the chair.
“It’s clear that I won’t be coming out of this mess alive,” I thought.
The bathroom door and Carter poked his head out, “call the maids to bring my clothes” he ordered.
“Okay sir” I replied and went to the house telephone that was beside the room, it was digitised so I just have to press the place I want to call.
I pressed the kitchen button and a maid answered it, “please my husband needs his clothes now” I said.
“Okay ma’am, which room should I bring it to?” She asked.
“Um, I don’t really know”
“Don’t worry ma’am, I will find the room” the maid assured.
“Please do, he needs it urgently” I said then put the telephone back and went back to the chair.
It wasn’t even up to five minutes when I heard a knock, opening the door I saw a maid carrying a bag.
“Can I come in ma’am,?” She asked.
“Sure” I opened the door for herbs she came in with the bag which she kept in the bed.
“Your clothes are also in the bag, ma.
Sir Rodrigo brought it, he said that I should tell you that” the maid said.
“Oh, thanks for the information,” I replied.
She bowed and left the room, I went to the bag and opened it.
There were a handful of Carter’s clothes and also mine, they are not mine actually just the one that Carter bought for me.
“Has the cloth arrived?” He asked from the bathroom.
“Yes !”
“Bring them to me, the nightwear” he ordered.
I took the nightwear from the bag and walked to the bathroom and knocked.
I nervously turned the door knob and walked in, I looked up and my breath hitched.
Standing at the sink was Carter with a towel on his waist, droplets of water were on his body, his chest looked so hard and muscled.
And his abs, they were the most delicious thing I have ever seen.
I was lost staring at that I didn’t even realize that he was walking up to me until he collected the clothes from me.
“Quit staring” he said after collecting the cloth.
“I wasn’t staring” I lied and left the bathroom.
“What the hell is wrong with you?Why did you stare at him?” I scolded myself.
It wasn’t long before Carter came out of the bathroom dressed in nightwear.
“You can wash up now,” he told me.
I took my own nightwear and went into the bathroom making sure that I locked the door before showering.
The shower was the fastest one I took.
I hurriedly wore my clothes and went out.
Carter was lying down on the bed pressing his phone, “switch the lights after you are done” he said.
“Okay Sir” I replied.
I headed straight to the light switch and turned it off then walked back to the bed.
I hesitated before climbing in making sure that my body wasn’t touching his.
“Remember that you are going somewhere with my father,” he said.
“I remembered,” I replied.
‘Good, when you are out with him, be very observant and report to me everything that happened” he ordered.
“Okay Sir” I replied.
“Now let’s sleep,” he said.
I closed my eyes pleading on sleep to come and take me to slumberland.
Not long after that, I slept off.
