Cold Statue!..........

".... What!? " I asked with a puzzled face

He walked closer and I took a few steps back

"Miss Vanessa Fisher soon to be Cruz, what did you think?. Or will you prefer me sleeping with another woman?." He said and stopped a few inches away from me

" Well, hello, of course I'm cool with it! "I thought

" Well Im totally cool with it. I mean its not as if we're marrying for love-but its not forced either-so I think we can both do whatever we want and I wont hold you back, I promise!. "I said

He frowned a little then straighten his brows

" So..... You're cool with your husband in another woman's panties, right? "He asked

" Well... Thats not what I meant-I mean you dont have to put it that way.... Right.... "I said and he stepped back creating space

"Just so you know, I cant resist women and I was planning on quiting because of the marriage but who knew my wife was so understanding, Thanks honey! " He said and went straight for the door

"Jeeeeez, what the heck?! " I said to myself

★★★★★★★★★★★★

I stared at my room one last time. I made alot of memories here..... Crying, wallowing in my pains, piting myself, treating my wounds and it became my safe zone but now I have to leave.....

"Vanessa, its time to go! " My mom shouted

"Sure thing. Im gonna miss you" I said to the room and then sighed

"Are you ready to go? " My Dad asked as I carried my suitcase

"Hmmmmm.n" I replied with a nod

"Remember dear, I'll come back for you..... " My Dad began

"... We've gone over this already pa. I'll be expecting you" I said with a fake smile

"Ok then love, bye" He said and I pulled my suitcase out of the house

I looked at my mom and then my house. Memories came flashing and I fought back my tears

I was going to stay strong and I was leaving this hell hole anyways

I pulled my suitcase closer to George's car

"You ready? " He asked.

"Sure" I replied with a nod

He helped me with my luggage and opened the door as I settled down in his car

He ignited the car and drove off. I took a final look at my house and then I saw Samantha, she was outside. I always wondered what would have happened if George knew I had a sister... Would he have cancelled the agreement or just went for my sister instead

I looked at him and he had a neutral face, he looked like he didnt just talk an helpless girl into marrying him.

"Do you have a boyfriend?! " He asked,his face were glued to the steering wheel

"Uhm-yeah.Well I did" I said and quickly turned my face when he suddenly turned his

"Hhhhhhm, that's good" He said

"What was good?, Me having a boyfriend or breaking up with him?, Jeeeeez this man... " I thought

The journey was awfully quite and its been a while since I travelled a long distance so I was feeling sleepy. I fought hard to stay awake and I kept on telling myself we were getting close but I couldn't fight it anymore so I just gave in and slept off....

★★★★★★★★★★★★

"Hmmmmmmmn" I turned sideways and stretched a little

"Wait..... Where was I?." I spread my hands widely to feel the bed and heaved a sigh of relief when I noticed there was no one on the bed

I sat up and looked around;I was in a huge room and the Interior decorations where superb!. It was painted purple and gave a girly yet cool vibre. The Neon light signs on the wall added to the colourful decorations of the room. There was a reading table and a labtop but I guessed it was new. I stood up and took my time to explore the room. It had a closet packed with clothes and the price tags were still intact. I moved to the bathroom and I was taken aback!..... I can literally eat a pizza off its floor!. It had a bathtub, a toilet in the other compartment and then I opened the bathroom door. It had a purple coloured bulb as well and then I thought....

"Such poor taste, why purple?..... "

I came out of the bathroom and then thought of going out of the room. I was about to open the door but then.... I dont even know where I was and I've been exploring the whole room. How did I even get here?....

I took a while to think then decided to open the door

Well if the room gave a girly vibre, the hallway was completely different. It looked and felt like a palace!

"Where am I?" I asked myself like I'll get an answer from God knows where

"My House!..... Or let me say, our home" George said and smiled

I looked around again and I was amazed. This house had everything. From the Living Room to the Dinning Room, the colours, design and pattern of the chair were matching....

"Waow... Its so huge I think its enough to shelter 8 generations of The Fishers". I said and didn't even realize I said it out loud

" Hmmmmmn" He said and took my hands

"What are you doing? " I asked as I tried to free my hand

He didnt say anything and just kept on walking down the stairs

"What are you doing?! " I asked again but he didnt stop

He opened the door and then we were in the garage. He finally let go of my hand and walked up to a man who was standing beside one of his cars

"We'll take this" He said and the man nodded

"We?!... What did he mean by 'We'?! I asked

George opened the door to the Passanger's seat and stared at me for a while. I knew he was telling me to come over but I just stood there, not moving.

" What are you doing?! "He asked and he seem really pissed

" What do you mean? "I asked with folded arms resting on my breast

" Won't you get in? "He asked

" Well.... For starters, we are getting married and you do not get to boss me around or drag me across the hall and just order me to sit in your fancy car and -and go wherever you want me to.... "I said trying to act tough

He smirked and looked around like he was trying to find sonething or someone

" Wait, was I being filmed?!.... Is this all an act?!..... Or is there.... Waow, he coming closer!... What do I do?! "The voices in my head kept screaming

" Why-why are you... Why are you coming closer?! "I asked while taking cautious steps backward. I stopped when my back hit a car

He came closer even when I expect him to stop and only stopped when his face was just an inch away from mine.

" I see... So you're the feisty type huh" He asked with a smile

I did a little victory dance in my head but then I was in a bit of an uncomfortable situation so....

"Well, message well conveyed then Mr. Cruz! " I said then lifted my back from where it was resting on the car

My nose was rubbing against his and I could feel his hot breath on my skin

His gaze went down and landed on my lips and his face drew closer

"Oh No... Not the lips! " I thought

He face drew closer and I closed my eyes and held my breath but then his lips didnt land on mine... Instead, they went to my ears and his thick and arousing voice woke me up from my trance

"I wasnt trying to boss you around Iyvonne, I was only planning on taking you out to get some clothes 'cause I thought you looked like someone who belongs in the trash!. You wouldn't want me to invite all the luxurious brand in the country to come visit you at home right?! "He said and then took a step back

" Ooooh, My clothes!. Well you could've just said so and... You didnt have to come close- I mean.... "I stuttered

" Well, message well conveyed, Mrs. Cruz! "He said and started walking back to the car

I cleared my throat and shouted after him....

" Its Vanessa anyways, Not Iyvonne" I said as he opened the door to the Co- Driver's seat

★★★★★★★★★★★

The day was so stressfull I felt like all my energy had been drained out even though all I did was test on clothes and shoes and makeup products, bags, jewelries and the likes. It started with the predicure;Nail job and massage, then the makeover, facial products and clothes. I met alot of Brand CEOs and Models because George wouldn't allow the assistants tend to me.

When we were done shopping for Clothes, makeover and Jewelries, George said we had to stop somewhere before heading home.

"Where? " I asked him on our way

"To buy a wedding gown and get my Tuxedo" He said, face glued on the road

"Oh..... Sure" I said and rested my head on the window

"He didnt even show any emotion and just said it casually. Its a goddamn wedding and he just acted like it was nothing" I thought to myself

★★★★★★★★★★★

"I think this will suit you better ma'am" The Owner of the Store said

"Oh, its Vanessa" I said

Everyone's been referring to me as Ma'am or Mrs. Cruz or Lady Vanessa and I wasnt comfortable with that even though George seem Ok with it.

"Well then, I think I'll try it on" I said and went into the changing room

This was my 7th Wedding robe and I made up my mind that even if it doesnt fit, I'll just put in on like that, I was extremely tired and my legs were sore and aching

The assistants help me put on the robe and to my surprise, it was quiet ok and it fits well. I came out of the dressing room eager to show George the dress but the shopnowner told me he already left and his assistant will come pick me up.

My shoulders fell and I was fuming up.

"I understand he doesn't care about the wedding but he could have atleast checked out the dress" I said to myself and then heaved a sigh

His assistant came and introduced himself as Vincent. He looked nice and had a commanding aura just like his boss.

The ride was also awfully quiet, not that I expected anything.... I mean even his boss couldnt bring up anything interesting to discuss so I wouldnt blame him.

"Poor Vincent, he must have had to go through alot working for that stone cold creature" I said to myself and stared at him with eyes full of pity.

Vincent saidhe was going to drop me off at the garage because he had to run some errand fore the Cold Statue.

I got down from the car and my feets were aching and sore.

"That damn statue doesnt care about anyone but himself!. How dare he leave me alone and bail. I bet he's somewhere flirting with girls and flaunting his stupid face!. " I said aloud and kicked off the heels I had on.

"You know those shoes are expensive, right?! " George's voice echoed in the silent garage

"George?!.... What are you doing here?! " I asked looking puzzled

"What am I doing in my garage?! " He asked with a smile

"Yeah, well.... I didnt expect to see you in a garage so I guess I was a bit suprised" I replied

I leaped forward and George moved closer to me

"Dont move! " He said and swept me off my feet as he carried me like a princess

"What are you doing?! " I asked and tried to stand but he was holding me in place with his strong arms and and then said

"Carrying you!. Or isnt this this statue allowed to touch you!".....
