Chapter 2 .

She couldn't believe she was being force to leave the house where she grew up.

That woman doesn't have an atom of pity in her heart. She's sending a 23 years old girl to go stay with a man she knew nothing about. A total stranger.

Adriana knew she was forcing her to marry the dude because he isn't a rich person. If he was rich, she wouldn't even have allowed her to set her eyes on him. She would arrange his wedding with Annabelle.

" Bye Bye Adriana, do not show your ugly face in to this house again" Annabelle laughed. Without letting her take anything from her room, step Mum pushed her outside.

" Step Mum please, you can't do this to me. I don't want to go with him, I don't like h..." She slammed the door on her face and then, they turned the key Inside.

" Mrs. Harold?" She Quickly wiped the tears that had dropped on her face and turned around. It was the lawyer that called her. He was about to Enter his own car and behind his car was a taxi.

" Your husband wants you to leave now" she glanced at Harold who was already sitting comfortably in the back seat of the Taxi and she nodded her head to the lawyer.

" Congratulations on your Marriage" He winked at her before driving away. She was being sent out of her house to go live with a stranger who doesn't even Cough for her to know if he was dead and dumb or not. Not even a change of clothes or a Book for her.

How does step Mum wants her to live her life without any of her Books? She can't even breath properly if she don't read them.

Beep! Beep!

The Car horn brought her back to her senses. She dragged herself to the taxi, opened the passenger's side and sat in the car. She didn't look anywhere again, she closed her eyes and rested her head on the headrest.

As if the car flew, they arrived at where he called his home. The small house Stood in the middle of nowhere. There were no houses near it, you can only see one or two houses some distance away.

She went down from the car Scanning the area . There were no many trees there, it was a vast land with carpet Grass. The house didn't even have a fence.

Does Step Mum even know where this dude lives? Her stomach started to rumble not because she was hungry but because she was afraid.

" You live here?" she asked him after the taxi has left but he didn't say a word to her. He walked ahead of her with his hands inside his pockets. With fears, she ran after him making sure they weren't far from each other.

At the door, he pulled out the house keys from his pocket and unlocked the door then stepped aside for her to enter.

Was that some kind of a trap? Her mind wasn't at rest. She wouldn't Enter the house before him. What if he locked her inside the house? As if he knew what was running inside her mind, He Frowned his face and entered the house.

" Better" she Inhaled Sharply before entering. " What da!" she has never seen a house such as that in real life before. The living room was just like that in the Fantasy Stories she read.

All the furniture were in brown wood. Two long chairs made of wood with Long pillows and four mini pillows on each of them. At the center of the room was a round Table of the same wood and color.

Behind one of the Chairs was the fire place. There was a round open door just a little distance from the Fire place which has four Chairs and a table serving as the dining area. She Stretched her neck and saw another door inside which should be the kitchen.

" When you are done gazing around, you can go upstairs. There are two rooms there, pick one" she heard his voice for the first time. It wasn't bad and... Thank Goodness he can speak.

" But why do you live here?" she asked him but he ignored her. He sat on one of the chairs, pulled out his phone from his pocket and stared at it.

" Not again!" she stamped her feet on the floor. She promised not to say anything to him again until he say something to her. She rolled her eyes and made her way up the stairs.

Like he had said, there were two rooms there. One facing the door from each angle. There was a corridor that connected the two rooms together.

" He says I should pick one. Well, that isn't bad. He's letting me pick the room I want" she smiled and turned to the left to go check out what that room Looked like.

The room wasn't bad, it has a medium size bed situated at the center of the room. A Two doors wardrobe at the left wall, and at the right wall was a reading table.

" Not even a Mirror in here?" she shook her head. " Let's check out the other room" Adriana closed the door and then went to the other room but unfortunately, the door was locked.

" But he said I should pick any of the rooms. Why is this one locked?" She turned the handle again. With her hands resting on her Waist, she went back to the living room.

" Didn't you said I should pick any of the rooms?" He didn't answer her. " One of the Rooms is Locked and I don't like the other one. It has no bathroom in it and there's no mirror too" He still didn't answer her.

" I am talking to you!" She raised her voice on him. He looked at her and furrowed his brows in to a frown.
