Chapter three
I almost got choked on the food in my mouth when l heard that statement, l raised an eyebrow at my father, l have always known my dad to be an ambitious man, who always gets what he wants
"Who is he to control my life?"l said inwardly, all l ever wanted was to be happy, l never imagined that my father will force me into a loveless marriage, at that point l could hear my heart beating faster,
A lot of thoughts clouded my mind, l was at the point of losing my chances with my prince charming, a stranger that I have fallen helplessly in love with, l felt a sharp pain in my heart, l shrugged back into my seat waiting for him to explain further
"I'm on the verge of losing the family empire Maya," he said dolorously, and l need you to save this family from this impending peril, my father owned one of the most successful construction empires in Batavia, l suddenly felt weak, l wanted to say something but I couldn't
"I know you will hate me for this"he continued, but l need you to know that I'm doing this for us.
So apparently my father's empire was about to go down the drain and he needed to secure a contract that will bring him back to his feet, Mr. Foster who happens to be one of the most influential men in the city of Batavia, and my father's business partner had offered him a contract with the condition that l marry his son
My father, James Parker doesn't take "No" for an answer, and I knew there was no way I was going to turn him down
"You're sure doing this for yourself, "l said coldly, l stood up angrily and walked out on my father, that was something I have never done before, l went straight to my room and locked myself up, l cried my eyes out that night, Ariana had consoled me over the phone, promising me that everything will be fine
I heard a knock on the door the next morning, l had woken up with a migraine
"Go away, "l said groaning in discomfort, l have never inferred that my life will be this miserable, l sluggishly came down from the bed, l moved to the door as soon as l heard Ma Grace's voice, l hugged her tightly feeling the warmth of a motherly body, l felt better after breaking the hug, she smiled at me and moved towards my table to drop the food she came with, she excused herself and came back with a dress
"What's that, "l asked with my eyes wide open
"Get ready Maya, you are meeting with the Fosters," she said trying not to offend me, l was livid hearing that statement, and l felt like my whole world was crashing, l knew I was about to lose the chances of being with my prince charming, l wasn't going to stop thinking about him, l will rather love him from afar
However, I have decided to do this for my father, probably as a way of saying sorry for blaming him for my mother's death all these years
I stood in front of the mirror wearing an exquisitely beautiful red dress that fit me so well, the dress gripped my body showing off my curves and the softly scooped neckline showed off the swell of my breast, Ariana has always praised my well-structured body, l have these mad curves that always draw people's attention whenever l go out… l sighed knowing that my misery was just about to begin
I slammed the door of my room and went downstairs, my father and the driver were already waiting for me downstairs, l move closer, greeted my dad, and entered the car, the drive was quite smooth, but l kept wondering what Foster's son looks like
"Will he accept me?"l asked inwardly, rumor has it that Jason Foster is arrogant and ruthless and l wondered if that was even true, well I'm about to find out
Our car pulled up in front of this giant mansion and there was no doubt that the Fosters were incredibly rich, their mansion was in one of the most popular and richest districts, and l wasn't surprised Mr. Foster was one of the most powerful and influential men in the city and I didn't expect less, my father is rich and influential but not as the Fosters
I alighted from the car, looked around, and walked majestically to the door, l opened the door to a warm welcome, the Fosters seemed very cheerful and quite accommodating, but l was yet to meet Jason, they led me to the dining table, l sat down as the servants were running around to serve me
"Jason will join us shortly," Mrs. Foster, Jason's mother said smiling at me, l heard footsteps moving towards the dining table, and l looked up to see who they were
"You?"l said in astonishment.
Chapter fourRight before me was the man of my dreams, the handsome stranger that took my breath away, the man l have been fantasizing about spending the rest of my life with, l couldn't believe my eyes, l gazed at him without blinking an eyelid"It's the universe trying to bring us together,"l said inwardly, smiling at him, the smile on my face started to fade away when he ignored me completely, and his guards led him to his seat, l lowered my head down in disbelief, l didn't want to think anything negative, l was happy seeing him and I want things to remain like that "Jason, this is Maya"your bride-to-be, his mother said breaking the awkward moment between us"We need to talk Mom," he said as he stood up to leave with his guards, he stormed out of the dining table, and the mother followed him, he walked straight to his room "I'm not getting married to that bitch" he sneered"You either marry Maya or lose the chances of taking over your father's empire"his mother replied coldly, h
Chapter fiveDressed up in my wedding gown with a bouquet of flowers in my hands, l walked down the aisle with the man of my dreams as soft romantic music played in the background, l was very happy that my dreams of getting married to my prince charming has become a reality, my face beamed with smiles as l walked majestically,holding hands with my father as he led me to the altarI took a quick glance at Jason who had no smiles on his face, well l expected that because he didn't want to be here in the first place, l sighed reminding myself that it was my day and I didn't want any negative thoughts to ruin it for me.Soon l was at the alter facing Jason, he looked away from me but l didn't bother myself about that, l couldn't help but imagined what this marriage has in store for me, l knew Jason doesn't love me but l don't care, my love would be enough for the both of us l said inwardly. I felt shivers down my spine when he looked into my eyes and made those dreadful promises at the a
Chapter sixHe kept thrusting in till he was satisfied, he let out one last moan and came inside of me, he pulled out immediately and entered the bathroom, l laid down in the bed as tears trickled down my cheeks, l yawned for Jason's touch but never imagined that he will treat me like this, he treated me like I was a cheap slut, l was still in tears when he came out from the bathroom, he looked at me with no remorse"This is just the beginning "he snarled and slammed the door behind himI opened my eyes wearily and felt a sharp pain in-between my thighs, the sun rays poured into my eyes and l shut them quickly, l gradually opened my eyes allowing them to adjust to the light in the roomI slept off after the horrible incident that happened last night, l couldn't believe he didn't return to the room to check up on me, l hissed knowing he doesn't care about meHe forced himself on me last night, l was supposed to be angry at him but l wasn't, l still find myself falling helplessly in lo
Jason's PovI saw tears rolling down her cheeks but l didn't care, this is what she signed up for when she agreed with my parents to get married to me, every fiber in me hates her, and her guts disgust me, l pulled the lady closer to me and continued caressing her body, she moaned loudly and I enjoyed every bit of it.Yes! l was fucking a lady in my car and my supposed wife just stood there in tears, l promised to make this marriage a living hell for her and l intend to keep to my words, l wanted to hurt her so bad and punish her for having the guts to walk down the aisle with me regardless of the warnings l gave her.I watched as she entered the mansion, l giggled and continue digging the pussy in front of me Maya povHe ignored me completely like l was one piece of trash that he picked from the slum…l could hear my heart beating so fast, my heart was shattered into many pieces since the day I married Jason he has caused me nothing but pain..l turned and walked into the mansion, the
My hopes were shattered and I was still in shock, l recalled the evil smirk l saw on his face when he said those hurtful words to me, l adjusted my gown seeing that I was almost naked, l dragged the blanket and covered myself trying to assimilate what just happened. "What does he take me for?""Am l some sort of sex toy to him?"l clenched my fist in anger, l tried to calm myself down. I really wanted him this night and treats me like some bag of trash, my thoughts were cut short when my phone beeped and a message came in, l rolled my eyes in curiosity seeing that the message was from my father…. He had requested to see me and l couldn't wait to see him too, l needed a breath of fresh air away from Jason and his troubles.I let out a sign of relieve and laid down on my bed to sleep. I dressed up, ready to go meet my father, he asked that l come over to his company and l was eager to know why, l was elegant and beautiful, dressed in a red red gown and a black stiletto, l had a black
I instructed the driver to stop by Ariana's grocery store, Ariana owns a grocery store, and her business was booming, l was very proud of my best friend because I watched her put in so much effort to grow her business, l called her earlier to inform her that I was going to stop by to see her and she couldn't contend her joy and l knew she was eager to see me too.My car stopped in front of her store and l came down and walked in gently, Ariana rushed and pulled me into a hug immediately after she saw me, l embraced her tightly and l felt the comfort of her warm body, l haven't spent much time with Ariana since l got married to Jason, and I was glad l was able to make out time to see her, she offered me a seat and I sat down.We talked for a long time and l got carried away that I didn't remember that it was getting late, l stretched out my hand and checked the time "Gosh"l have to be on my way, l said immediately tucking my phone into my bag, I stood up, hugged her and she walked m
It's been one year of misery with Jason as l endured all his mistreatment, hoping that he will change and learn to love me or so l thought, and anytime I tried to talk to him about how badly he treated me, he always reminded me that l was free to leave the marriage anytime l want to.It was morning and the sun was shining, l opened the window and admired nature, our mansion has a beautiful view so l always admire everywhere through the window, l was overwhelmed by the event happening today, Foster's Empire was going to announce Jason as their new CEO.I pulled out the pink dress l wanted to wear for the after-party, they were throwing a party for Jason to welcome him as their new CEO, and this has always been his dream, I was happy because he was happy…l giggled and made my way to the bathroom to take a long shower and get preparedIt was a long evening as people were trooping in and out of Foster's mansion, our Mercedes Maybach Exelero pulled up in front of the mansion which drew pe
"I'll be back in Batavia in two days" l promised my father over the phone, l was about to launch my clothing brand in Batavia, l let out a deep breath not knowing how to feel, it's been five years already and the memory of the bad experience l had in the past was still fresh in my head like it happened yesterday. I was happy with the woman l have grown to become, fierce, elegant, and bold, and l could boldly stand up for myself, l looked beside me as I smiled at my son who was calmly sleeping beside me, he has brought so much joy to my life and l had him when l needed comfort the most and l was a proud mother, though he looks exactly like his father, he was nothing like his father, l raised him to be kind and respectful to people and he was too smart for a four-year-old boy. I caressed his hair gently and kissed his forehead, l didn't want to wake him so l left the bed quietly. I had mixed feelings about going to Batavia, "What if l wasn't over him yet" l waved off that thought and
