In a dimly lit studio apart a girl sat on the chair typing aggressively on her laptop key *click click click* the words filled the laptop screen , few minutes later she closes the laptop and sat on the little bed by the corner, she lay on the bed and closed her eyes , her long lashes resting on her face , her face had delicate features a small nose her small plump lips slightly parted , the sounds of her steady breathing filled the room ..... *ring ring* the sound of her phone ringing startled her , she looked at the phone and it was an unknown number and her heart skipped a beat.. she had borrowed some money from a Loan shark and now she couldn't pay back and she was already being threatened , she gulped hard and picked the call "he... he..llo...hello" "hello Miss , I am lady Christine Louis ""oh .. I'm sorry I'm not familiar with anyone by that name mam" he voice slightly trembling "I am the madam of the Louis family and I have a proposal for you .. I can help you clear your slate with Caspian.. you borrowed some funds from him sometime ago .. an I right? " she was shocked "how do you know" "that is for me to know .. are you willing to accept my proposal " " y....yyy..yes ..yes ma'am" " well then .... I want you to become the mistress of the Louis family and give birth to a child for my stepson Andrei Louis, you must have head of him , the heir to the Louis family cooperation" Elaine's breath hitched .. how couldn't she knows Andrei!! the rumored lunatic and cold-blooded killer if the Louis family "young lady don't keep me waiting, remember Caspian will have your life if you can't pay him back and you and I know you don't have the funds " the lady laughed over the phone "young lady I have no time for this , if you are willing to accept this proposal then be at the Louis family Mansion by 6pm , I will send you the address " she cut the call and a beep came from the phone ... Elaine looked at it and saw a message.... she started to ponder "I have no money to pay back Caspian and he'll definitely kill me if he finds out or maybe even something worse and if I go to the Louis family the worst that could happen will be me dying at the hands of the young master .... all in all it's a dead end" she sat on the bed and hugged her knees tears flowing down her eyes ... what would she do

**********

In the Conference room of the Louis cooperation, the room was cold like winter , but the faces of the men and women sweaty , one could hear the sounds of hearts beating rapidly in the dead silence of the room , then a shivering voice broke the silence "sir what do you think of the report" a man sitting at the head of the table, his dark blue eyes cold and

lifeless , his face expressionless "redo it" his voice rang through the room , a voice that sent shivers down the spine , some people wanted to refute it had taken them two weeks of sleepless nights to finish the report and he wanted them to redo it !! but they decided against it , this man is a ruthless lunatic if they offended him they could kiss their lives goodbye ... The man stood up and left without looking back and the people in the Conference room all breathed a sigh of relief

***********

a black jaguar sped through the road toward a mansion few meters in front of it ...... the car drove in through the large and stopped, a tall man walked out of the car and adjusted his suit, he wore a blue check suit that highlighted his sharp facial structure, his sharp jawline and pointed nose and his dark blue eyes that gave a cold feel , he had a scar across his left eyebrow giving him a certain allure like an artifact but he had a dangerous aura around him, one that could make one pass out .. he took long strides towards the entrance of the mansion ...

As he entered into the living room he saw his grandparents , his father and stepmother and a girl she had a small face with big eyes and small lips her head hung low as soon as she saw him and he smirked "Andrei have a seat, we have something important to tell you " a Stern voice came " yes grandfather, I was told this is important" " meet Elaine your new fiancee" all of a sudden the temperature dropped and the room suddenly felt suffocating, everyone in the room except the old man shivered lightly and Elaine was at the verge of fainting, in all her nineteen years of living she had never felt such strong presence before "my what?!" a deadly voice reverberated round the room , Elaine could feel like her skin was being stabbed but she didn't look up her eyes glued to the ground , her heart racing, her eyes teary .. 'is this the end' she thought to herself

"look up" the voice came again , her heart skipped a beat but she raised her head and a dream of teras flowed down her face

as she looked at Andrei he saw the tears on her face, his heart tightened... he couldn't understand why but nonetheless he didn't show any form of sympathy , but scoffed "Andrei please you're scaring the young girl" he turned his face away and looked at the old woman's pleading face "Andrei please for the sake of your mother , this is the only thing we can do to fulfil her last wish so please , you are already twenty six and your mother wanted you to have a child at twenty seven so please Andrei" at the mention of his mother he softened a bit " fine then for mother's sake and nothing more ... I'm leaving I have something to attend to " he got up " stop" he turned back and looked at the old man "grandfather what is it " "you are taking your fiancee with you" his voice Stern leaving no room for objections .. as Elaine heard this she froze "then what are you waiting for " she looked at Andrei and pointed to herself "yes you .. I can't believe you expect me to get married to this dummy " he scoffed and walked out of the living room leaving Elaine still frozen in her seat "go on dear , don't know worry , he won't harm you , I promise you that" she got up and walked out of the living room and out of the building .. she saw Andrei leaning on the black jaguar he looked very handsome but at the same time scary like a poisonous flower, she walked towards the car her head hung low gripping tightly on her dress , she opened the car door and sat in quietly , Andrei sat int he car and looked at her for a short while and started the car and drove out of the Louis family Mansion

the black jaguar sped down the road and Elaine felt sick , she clutched the door and held her stomach, Andrei looked at her with disdain "you can't handle the speed and you're supposed to be my fiancee" he scoffed,"I've seen way better girls in my time so why did my grandparents even agree to you ..... what family are you from " she fought the urge to throw up "I'm an orphan " her voice trembling as she spoke upon hearing this his face became even colder "now I'm meant to get married to a nobody, how pathetic" Elaine's heart clenched at his words , her blood started to boil "yes I'm a nobody, but that doesn't make you any better than me, at least I'm not a lunatic" as soon as she finished speaking she started to regret , the temperature in the car dropped and the speeding car came to a halt , Andrei looked at her his eyes had a killing glint in them and she choked as she wanted to gulp her saliva , she started coughing her eyes watering she found it hard to catch her breath "here you go" Andrei handed her a bottle of water, she was shocked but took the water and gulped it quickly , the water dripped down her lips to her neck and his eyes followed the little dreams of water that flowed out of her mouth in amazement.. this was supposed to be repulsing for him but it was weirdly attractive.. she finished half of the water and put the bottle down her eyes misty , he just couldn't understand why this clumsy looking girl looked attractive , he turned his face and started the car "please c..c..can .....we go slower this time" he trembling voice sounded a bit hoarse he turned at looked at her her misty eyes tugging his heart strings he took a deep breath and started to drive but at. slower pace"thank you" she said in almost a whisper

during the whole drive Andrei couldn't just understand this girl , what was do special about her anyways ...... few minutes later they arrive at his villa . As Elaine stepped out of the car she froze "this house is so big" she had already been to the Louis family Mansion but she didn't pay attention to her surroundings but now she couldn't take in how someone could live in this huge place "what are you standing there for"his cold voice was like a bucket of water poured on her she snapped out of her daze and blushed in embarrassment .... she her flushed face Andrei smiled subconsciously "let's go" he said and walked towards the entrance... she ran to catch up each stride he took was like three steps for her so she was almost jogging to keep up

as they entered the villa she looked around in awe , Andrei couldn't help but be amused at her behavior, he looked around and we'll everything seemed normal to him .. it is his villa anyways but Elainehad never seen such type of house although the interior was very plain with only black, grey and white decore she couldn't help but be amazed at how rich he was

A man most likely in his fifties walked into the living room "welcome young master.. welcome miss" "prepare a room for her" "yes sir " Andrei walked up the stairs without looking back and she watched him as he left even after he had disappeared from her sight she was still looking in the direction he had gone " miss I am Johnathan , the butler.. would young miss please follow me " she snapped out of her dazed and blushed "umm.. yes .... I'm Elaine by the way " the man smiled and led her to a room on the left wing if the villa ," young miss, this will be your room " I looked around the room then I remembered I didn't pack anything from home "don't worry about clothes to change into old madame already made arrangements for that and you're valuables had already arrived her before you arrived.. old madame also made additional provision for more clothing and accessories " "oh .. thanks.. thank you " he nods "if you need anything please feel free to ask any of the staff ... I'll take my leave now " he walked out and shut the door .....

Elaine's POV

as he left the room I walk to the bed and lay down .. the bed is surprisingly soft , softer than mine ... maybe I'm just used to the hard bed at home ... I start to yawn well all those sleepless night that I spent writing have finally caught up with me... I close my eyes and almost immediately I drift off to sleep

As she drifted off to sleep , andrei walked into the room abd stood by the bed " you looks so .... innocent.. so dumb" he sighed and out his hand on her cheek "you are so innocent... why did you have to walk into my dirty world, " she stirred a bit but didn't wake up , he smirked a bit and bryshed a strand of hair off her face , he walked out of the room with a smile on his face .. his imposing aura seemed to fade away for a moment before returning back

about an hour later she wakes up ,her stomach starts to grumble and she walks out of the room groggily , and she bumped into someone and fell back , as she fell she was finally wide awake "young master i'm .. sorry , i didn't see you... i'm sorry " she quickly stood up and lowered her head "so i'm too small to be noticed " his voice was cold but had a hint of playfulness in it "no i didn't mean it that way ..... i just woke up and was a little groggy ... i'm sorry.. i'll watch where i am going next time" her voice was shaky and her head held down "pathetic , i can't believe that my grandparents agreed to ... you ........ let me tell you something .. you are just my fiancee in name but to me you are nothing , just a worthless nobody so know your place ... and this should not repeat itself or else " tears flowed from her eyes and she nodded "y.. yes.. yes sir " as he saw the tears flowing from her eyes he had an urge to wipe them off her face but he fought that urge "you look ugly when you cry .. don't ever cry when you're around me .. understand? " she nodded sliwly and wioed her tears off ger dave clumsily , he patted her gead "if you listen yoy wont have any troble .. he turned back and walked away

when she no longer heard his footsteps she burst into tears, sometime later she quickly wiped her eyes and went to the living room "young miss, do you need anything " she turned back and saw jonathan "ummm .... yes i'm a bit hungry" he smiled "dinner will be ready in a bit, young master usually has his dinner in the study , so don't bother waiting for him" she sniffled "thank.. .... ummm....... thank you sir" "you're most welcome miss.... if you'll excuse ne , i'll take my leave"

she sat on the couch , about a few minutes later a maid came it and called her to the dining fir dinner...... as she got to the dinning she saw a large selection if food , western and intercontinental dishes!!!! her mouth started to water and she sat down and put a piece of meduim rare steak in her plate , as she was about to put a piece in her mouth she felt a chill and froze subconciously , andrei walked over and sat beside her .. the maids were shocked , their young master hardly ate due to swvere anorexia only having nutritional supplements... but now he was having dinner!! "mind if i join you?" he turned her hed to face his he looked at her , his dark blue eyes locked onto her eyes like a pair of knives piercing her soul .. she shook her head slowly, fear filled her eyes "now i'd like to taste that piece of steak there" she nodded and put a piece of steak on his plate , he looked at the steak on the plate and felt nauseus then looked at her and back to the plate ..... she looked at him and thought he was implying her to feed him and cut the piece of steak and shoved it in his mouth using her fork

the servants all had one thought' she is dead !!' but to everyone's suprise he was slowly chewing the steak and he swallowed it !!

all the servants were waiting for him to throw up the food as usual but he didn't instead elaine continue to feed him and he didn't flinch even once "that tasted nice , my compliments to the chef" all the servants were beside themselves , their young master just ate food and didn't throw up and even complimented the chef!!

he drank a glass of water and looked at elaine's plate "awwn the littlw bunny didn't eat because of me , let me reoay the favor"..... he cut a tiny piece of steak and put in her mouth , she was ahocked and froze "you don't like it? " she shook her head and ate the steak , he continued to feed her till her stomacj was rounded "well let's get desert" he said and the maids quickly rushed to the kitchen and brought out two cups of souffle and a tray of cupcakes...

he took a spoon of of souffle and our it by her mouth "open up" she looked at him confused "what you don't like it ... i don't think you have ever tasted this type of souffle in your life and besides ..... there is a first time for everthing so let this count as your first time of tasting food made by a five star chef... so open up" she reluctantly opened her mouth and ate th souffle.. bit was delicious and her eyes gleamed and she hummed "it tastes great" he smirked "see i told you , now open up"

they both finished the desert and elaine was so full and couldn't even stand ........ he looked at her "why are you still sitting down " she looked down and was embarassed "i.. i'm too full" she mummured in almost a whisper

he scoffed "little bunny you're so pathetic" he walked over and carried her in a bridal manner "you're so light" he mummured under his breath .... he carried her up the stairs and the servants were in shock .. jonathan looked at them in shock , he was so happy hl, hia young master was finally becoming normal

andrei took her her to her room and threw her on the bed ans she yelped "hey, what did you do that for!?" "you don't expect me injure my back carrying you .... you are as heavy as a sack of potatoes sheesh " he rubbed his back

"get out of my room!" he smirked "this is my house and every room in this house belongs to me so i can stay wherever i want " she thought to herself 'this man is so dispicable ...... a dog!!' he lay on her bed "i'm sleeping here tonight move to the couch" she pouted and angrily took a pillow and a blanket from the wardrobe and sat on the couch ....... she went to the wardrobe and took out some clothes and walked into the bathroom ....
