Chapter 4 ~ Arranged Marriage

*CATHY'S POV*

He pushed my arm away and left the room and few seconds later our housemaid came to the room and told me to follow her behind. I quietly followed her to the hall below where I saw him. Alexander was sitting on the couch in the living room with a person might be his secretary I guess standing beside him. He was wearing a suit and a black tie. His hair was perfectly styled on his forehead. His face was stern and his big perfect manly body was resting on the couch. He was handsome I agree but in the suit he looked more hot.

Him! Alexander! Oh Mr. Wayne. What is he doing here? Is he here to stop the marriage? But why is he always there when I need someone desperately? Is he really my savior?  Or am I fantasizing too much because I am desperate for some kindness?. 

I walked down the stairs in these thoughts and saw his pair of eyes focused on me. He was staring at me with an angry look. He looked more scary than my father and I was wondering what if my thoughts are all really a lie about him?

My father grabbed me and made me sit infront of Alexander. Alexander's secretary then pull out some documents from his bag and placed it on the table with a pen. He then spoke, "Do you agree to marry Alexander Wayne s/o of Wayne Mathew and the CEO of Mathew Expertise?"

I was shocked. I looked at my father and then Alexander and back to my feet. So this guy was going to marry me?! I have heard about Mathew Expertise before and it's biggest electronic company in our city. Even in my university I heard the seniors talking about how it's so popular and their dream to get a job or an internship there. And now he is marrying me!? Did he agreed on it or he was forced like me?

I was again in my thoughts when my father cleared his throat angrily I looked up and saw Alexander glaring at me getting impatient.

"Yes, I-I do." I hesitated putting my head down because I know I can't do anything else except agreeing.

His secretary then again asked Alexander, "Do you agree to take Miss Catherine Hemsworth as your wife?".  I peeked at him from my lashes and he nodded without hesitating. "Yes."

He pushed the papers after signing infront of me and I did too even thought my hands were shaking. The marriage was completed, my father didn't showed any emotions or came to sent me off. I was expecting though. Alexander had already left and the secretary drove me to his house or i should say his mansion.

The mansion was more bigger than my house there was a very big garden, a big fountain infront of the mansion and as the car drove past them I saw many maids and guards around.

The car stopped at the main entrance where the housekeepers were already waiting.

I stepped down as one of the guard opened the car door for me. They were all looking at me with curious eyes, I feel ashamed for not being able to meet their expectations. Ofcourse it's their Master's wife and she must have high standards and appearance. I dropped my head down immediately.

It was awkward for them and for me too but the secretary introduced himself to me "Welcome Mrs. Wayne, I am Rodrigo, Mr.Wayne's secretary and this is his home." I nodded at him while one of the housekeeper came forward and bowed to me. "Welcome Miss, I am the head housekeeper Berney. Please come in." He gestured me to the main door, I walked past the maids their heads facing the ground.

I felt a little awkward and sighed before entering my new home or is it just a new place for torture?
