**CH-3**

**Xavy**

When I smiled at him I saw him grin. I didn't understood that but I vow to be careful with him whenever I see him. Mr Carson was a nice man in my opinion. He was probably the first person who called me beautiful. I think he don't care about me being a human. I felt a little happy. Mr Carson decided that the three marriages will take place at different place and different dates. My father said,"Mr Carson how about first we marry the youngest then middles and the last the oldest ?" Mr Carson thought for a second and then he nodded. So I getting married late by that 'youngest always come first scheme'. After that the guest leave. I don't know I was still feeling weird by Arthur glances at me and his wicked grins. God hopefully nothing bad happen. Selena came in front her daughters(Claire and Denise),"Girls I hope you both likes your future husbands, so it's time for shopping" Selena then turned to me," And you." She never considered me her daughter, so I don't care now. I know she will now give me any chores. So I just said,"Ok i will do the house chores." Selena said,"Chores ? Do you what this marriage to be closed? Well I am not letting your father go to loss so go rest and keep cleaning yourself until you are getting married." I was stunned by those words. I never got rest just at night whenever I am done with my house chores. I bowed and went to my room. To my surprise my room was cleaned by maids with fresh new bedsheets, new pillows and some new beautiful clothes. I thought I should enjoy it but by the years of neglect I don't feel like taking advantage of it. I went to bathroom to wash my face. I removed my eye-patch and washed my face. After I wiped my face with a towel I saw something usual.

I saw my black eye. It has gotten a tiny heart with a one line stroke above. I didn't know what this meant. But it has never been there. There was only plain darkness in my eye. It was never like this. I was feeling scared what this means but I took a deep breath didn't looked further at it. I put on my patch back on my eye. I took a fresh cold shower. While I was taking a shower i was still thinking about Arthur's glances at me and his grins. My grandmother always told me that love will always make someone feel better but what type of love is this ? After the shower I wore some comfy soft clothes. I lay down on the soft bed and turned off the lights. I could hear my sisters laughing and getting excited like schoolgirls about their wedding. I didn't care about as long I know this is a arranged marriage and nothing else....
