Chapter 8 ~ Rumors

*CATHY'S POV *

I think someone knocked on my door but I was too sleepy to answer it. I woke up because the sunlight was hitting straight into my eyes.

I slept for such a long time. I can't believe myself because I always had few hours to sleep cause of my university and my training to be a proper lady at my Dad's.

University, I totally forgot about it. Should I have to ask for his permission? Will he allow me? As a married women I have to maintain my wife duties that's what my teacher told me in the training sessions.

I went downstairs to see him at the dining table. His breakfast was there but he didn't eat it yet. I sat next to him peeking at him to check his temper. He didn't said anything to me the entire breakfast but his face wasn't stern like yesterday night.

He was about to leave when I stopped him.

"Mr. Wayne, can we talk?" I said looking at him.

"What is it about?" He replied.

"Can I still attend my university?" I hesitated.

There was silence.

"Actually I will be starting my senior year and will graduate soon...I-I don't want to stay at home." I continued.

But again he said nothing. Will he refuse? I was nervous.

"If you want you can. But the driver will drop you and pick you up." He said after a while, sternly.

"Thank you, Mr. Wayne." I was grateful. He doesn't seem to be a bad person I guess.

He left without saying anything and I went to get my bag and books which were bought in my luggage yesterday by Rodrigo.

It was Tuesday so I had only one class at 11 which ended at 1. The driver dropped me off at the university but the atmosphere seemed off today. Everyone was giving me disgusting looks.

I kept my head down and walked towards my two friends I only had here Floria and Mary. I could see from their expressions that they weren't happy either.

"Cathy, Is this true?" Floria asked.

"What?" I answered.

The other showed her phone to me. My Dad never got me a phone in case he thought I would run away. So I always was one step behind the news in uni. I saw that my marriage was all over the uni page. The news were fake ofcourse. It said I got into his bed, or I seduced him.

"Cathy I know this isn't true just please say something. I am already angry at them." Mary was already pissed off. Floria calmed her down and put her hand on my shoulder. "Cathy?" She called me.

"It's true" I can't lie to them. "I got married yesterday to Mr. Alexander Wayne. It was an arranged marriage." I couldn't explain more than that. Floria and Mary were shocked but they didn't asked further.

"The class is about to start, let's go girls" Mary said dragging both of us into the class.

The whole time in class the sat at each side of me, distracting me asking questions about the lecture. I always thought that I didnt deserved them. They always had their back for me. I am really grateful for having them. My thoughts ended with the class.

We were walking back to the gate while I could hear people talking about me...
