Carter’s POV
Standing at the door of my father’s room I thought about knocking or moving away.
“Fuck, how could that girl just mess up my beautiful plan” I cursed then raised my hands and knocked on the door, two times.
Sounds of footsteps came closer to the hand and I saw the doorknob turn.
“If it’s Carter, please close the door,” I heard my father say from inside.
The door then opened revealing Mr Smith, my father’s PA and right hand man.
“You can’t come in, Sir” he said apologetically, his eyes on the floor.
“Alright, tell him that I want to talk with him and I hope he is free tomorrow for that” I said.
“I will relay the message to him, Sir”
The door was quietly closed and it took all of my willpower not to kick at it in frustration.
“How could this girl mess up my perfect plan?” I thought, running my hands through my hair, I seriously wanted to pull it out.
Glancing at the door one last time I went back to the dining room where Abigail was, she was eating dessert and there were three different kinds in front of her.
I stormed to her, held her hand and dragged her out of the dining room.
“Please you are hurting me” she said trying to pry her hands free but my grasp was very tight.
I didn’t release her until we were in my room, “what has gotten into you?, this wasn’t signed in the contract !” She snapped.
“This girl must have some nerves to be shouting at me” I thought, glaring at her.
“Hey !
Shut up your mouth or I am going to do it for you” I threatened.
“I am sorry but it wasn’t written on the document that you were going to treat me hurtful” she complained.
“Hmm, I wonder if the dessert you eat is giving you the guts to talk back to me so I’m going to overlook it,” he began.
“You are mine now and I am going to do to you whatever I like, you are only to answer to me, “only me”, he stressed the last two words.
“But what about your father?, she asked.
“Disobey him if you want to die, and I also want to tell you to just keep low till we go back to our mansion, failure to do so.
Her eyes widened and she took a step backwards, her eyes nervously scanned the room.
“There is no escape, wife.
You are stuck here” I said then walked to the door.
I opened and was about to walk out but then turned to her, “by the way welcome to my hell.
I didn’t give you a proper welcome before”.
After saying that I left the room then went straight to the bar, Rodrigo was already there sitting with some bottles of wine.
A smile crept to my face as I remembered why I selected him as my second in command.
He was very thoughtful and also the only person that understands me.
He thinks ahead of time and is so smart.
I reached the bar sitting in one of the stools, “Good evening Boss” Rodrigo greeted me standing up.
“Mix my favourite drink for me” I ordered.
“Yes Boss” he replied then opened the wines on the table and started mixing.
After a minute, he handed me a glass which I took and gulped down all the contents.
“Another one”
Rodrigo looked at me to say something but he didn’t say it and just took my glass to mix me another drink.
Just like the first one, I gulped down the second one too.
“Boss, please you have to take it easy because the strong wine is usually in big quantity”
“What do you think, Rodrigo?” I asked suddenly.
“Boss?”
“No Boss, if it had been ruined then you wouldn’t be here, you know the Kingpin and what he can do” was the reply he gave me.
“You are right, Rodrigo.
Let’s hope that it wasn’t ruined” I said then took the glass of wine.
While we were talking he filled it with wine, you see he is very thoughtful and smart.
“So after we leave from here, we are going to check out our…”
“My favourite brother !.How are you doing?”
“Shit !” I cursed under my breath when I heard the voice.
“What the fuck is he doing here?” I asked no one in particular.
“Brother?, what’s wrong?.
Aren’t you happy to see me?” Roman asked, taking a seat at the bar.
“I was surprised that you didn’t come for dinner, though you went on a trip with your mother,” I began.
“Yeah, we went on a short vacation but we came back today.
But what am I hearing about you getting married?” He asked.
“That’s true and please relay this message to your mother…”
“She is also your mother, Carter,” Roman interrupted.
“Tell her that it is high time she starts putting some effort into the company and not just spending money however she likes,” I said and stood up.
“How dare you tell my mother what to do, Carter?, how dare you !”
“Well this is what you get by coming into a place you know very well that I am in” I replied.
Roman then got up and left the bar.
I know she is going straight to her mother’s room to tell her.
He is my step brother who took pleasure in seeing me suffer and in pain, both him and my stepmother.
My reason for marrying that girl was to make sure that none of my inheritance goes to them, I don’t think I can survive if it actually does.
“If only your father listened to you, he would have divorced his mother since” Rodrigo began.
