Chapter 4 4.

Claudia's POV:

Next day,

I am sitting in front of him for breakfast, I have not eaten anything since yesterday morning, I ignored the dinner last night, crying in sleep.

But this morning, I was asked to be here. I realized I was staying in his room, when I opened the closet I saw both men and women clothes.

I wore a outfit like I didn't care, but everything had a price tag on it, so it's all new and of my size. Since How long is this preparation happening?

I kept my eyes on the food not touching it. I am hungry, but my anger is suppressing it quite well. I am just dressed to look good enough, I didn't even bother to do my hair, I just brushed it off.

I heard Austin, "Starving won't help....."

I looked at him, I need to talk to him find my way out.

I know nothing about him and now I am married to him? I need to free myself from it.

He is in casual wear, Isn't he going to work?

God! I sound like his wife!!!

I heard him, "I suggest you eat, you need energy to be angry..."

I am not starving because of you but just because I am angry.

I said, "You planned it... You asked my father to trick me"

I got his cold gaze, He said, "I will be wrong with whatever answer I give in your mid... Considering you don't know your father's real nature...."

Does he means My Dad did this by himself?

No! My Dad is not that kind of person!

He tricked me, whom am I lying!!!

I asked, "Why you married me?"

He looked at me up to down, he said, "Let's do this... for each question you have to finish each thing in your plate.... I will answer..."

I narrowed my eyes at him, Why he wants me to eat anyways!!! It's not like this is his body!!!!

Author's POV:

Austin kept eating as she was finishing her pancakes, he smirked knowing how she got obedient out of sudden. He also understood she was confused.

Her delicate fingers were holding the fork eating her food, her cheeks got puffed as she kept eating. She was indeed a beauty, the best he ever saw. Her hair were light shade of brown with some darker highlights, her eyes were a prefect shade between gray and green making her look angelic, if one was honest, her eyes were biggest he ever saw.

Her hour glass figure made her even more goddess like, she was thin but not too much, she had all the curves at the right places. Her those plumb lips stilled the show every time.

Claudia looked at him as she said, "Now Why you married me?!!!"

She was furious, he adored the silent glare in her pretty eyes.

Austin answered, "I wanted to..."

She said back, "What kind of answer it is?!!!" she noticed he was looking at her plate, asking her to finish the rest of the food before any more questions.

She growled in annoyance, She quickly took few more bites, she asked, "I don't want this marriage.... and looks like it was a deal for you too... So, let's draw a divorce ......"

His eyes darken in anger, he knew she was straight forward but not this straight forward.

He just said, "Divorce is not an option for you...."

She was clearly annoyed, she got up from her seat walking to him. She said to him standing in front of him, "What you want!!!! Can't you understand I don't want to be your wife and stay all day here!!!! wait for you and do some stupid shit!!!!"

Austin got up saying, "You are free to do whatever you want as you did in your father's care..... I will not stop you.... Everything you like or need is in the closet, or you just make a call to me...."

He warned, "But do not anger me..... I want to treat you nice, My Wife...."

She whispered, "You clearly want a trophy wife!!!!! I will divorce you... and if it's not an option then being Widow will work too..."

He smirked seeing her challenging words, He slipped a ring in her finger as he whispered, "Try your best..."

He placed a kiss on her angry cheeks as he walked away. She was frustrated, should she hit him or wait till her red cheeks goes back to normal....

Claudia's POV:

I stood in front of him, he is working out. No wonder these muscles won't grow on a tree, I was folding my hand around my chest.

Austin said, "Wife, you need to speak if you want anything?"

I looked at him as I said, "Stop calling me that!..." I took a deep breath, I said, "I want to go home...."

I know what I am doing. They abandoned me so, I am going to do the same. They pushed me themselves to this man's Manshion so, I need cut ties with the parents who made me a deal.

I can be anything but not pathetic!!!!

Austin said, "You are already home...."

I said cutting in, "I want to get my things from my ... I mean Mom Dad's house... the guards won't let me go.... You tell them...."

Austin looked at me from up to down, studying my words. He said denying, "Tell me, I will arrange it here..."

I said to him, "You said you won't stop me...." He stayed cold, he looked away saying, "Get ready, I will be waiting downstairs..."

I whispered, "I can go by myself...." Austin shot a glare at me as he walked out, now I can't even have my opinion!!!!

I don't want to be seen with him.

Soon, he driving me back to my parents house, I am dressed in a skirt and a off shoulder top, I moved my hands through my hair nervous, actually I am at verge of crying!!!

They all made me an object.....

I got down even before Austin, the maids greeted me as I walked in, I saw my Mom at the stairs, she smiled looking at me.

I walked passing her not giving her a second glance at her. She could have stopped this but no!!!

Soon I was in my room, I looked at it full of tears. I hate this!!! But I have too, I am not important here anymore, I don't want to be help to these weak threads.

I sat on the bed trying to think of way not make this super hard for me. I want to stay here, with my family but they gave me to that man in the first place.

I noticed Austin in my room looking at me, I looked at him eyes filled with tears, his face shows no emotions at his point. He looks so stern.

I grabbed my luggage bag out of the walk in closet, I will fit as much as I can, I can never fit everything in it because I was a pampered child once.

I started packing, I went to pick my jewelry first, then some important documents of mine. Soon, I was putting random important things of me. I purposely left behind the things related to my parents and childhood, I don't want to carry them.

It will be burden and painful.

I was dropping clothes in the bag, I heard him, "You have enough clothes back home..." I ignored him, I know he got me a closet full of clothes and stuff for me, but I am not here to listen to him.

I wiped my tears throwing most random things in the bag. I saw my mom with a maid, she placed coffee on the table. She said, "Mr. Carter please feel home.... Claudia , baby you want anything else.... like milkshake or hot chocolate...."

I turned to her with red eye, she clearly ignored it. She said, "You are here first time with your husband, how about you stay for lunch..."

Come on stop this already!!!

I zipped the bag in hurry. I total packed like 3 bags, I said to Mom, "I am cutting ties with this family.... You guys no longer have a daughter!!!..." I grabbed two of the bags, hoping Austin will bring the rest.

I walked out passing Mom, she said, "Claudia ... What are you saying?"

I ignored her and walked out dragging the bags, at one point I almost fell, I couldn't bring them safe with these blur teary eyes.

I sat on the stairs defeated, only to realize Jason was standing at the main door, he walked in my direction. I hate him right now, my brother isn't helping me at all!

I saw him helping with the bag, he said, "Get up now!"

soon, he dropped me near the car, I was glaring at him refusing to speak a word. I saw him keeping the luggage in the car, Austin is already waiting for me to get in.

Mom came to me trying to embrace me, I moved back, I whispered, "I hope none of you knew... But I afraid you all knew.... I will never forgive you...."

Jason taunted, "We are not sorry....."

I turned to him in anger, I stated, "I hate that I have a brother like you.... You always hated me!!!"

I got in the car clearly ignoring everyone.
