A Trillionaire’s Revenge

CHAPTER 7

I glance at the clothes and look at the clock, it was almost nine in the evening. I was ready to go for dinner even though I was terrified. After dressing up and applying a thick coat of red lipstick, I head downstairs when I notice Carrington already on the dining, alongside the strange girl, Laurel.

Carrington gets up and takes out my chair for me. I don't say anything but I give him the could shoulder and glare at him. I was petrified. He frowns slightly.

"Laurel, please, could you excuse us? Just a minute."

"Yes, sure." She says, and I could swear she gave me a dirty look.

"Thank you, for wearing the dress I sent. I must say, it suites you."

I chuckle softly, annoyed by his guts. "I told you to stop acting friendly with me. Stop pretending to be a good person, because we both know you're not."

He sighs, "Look, Natalie, I really don't hate you nor do I have anything against you. Yes, I'm enraged by the fact that you tried to cheat me and disgusted by the fact that you agreed to marry me because you didn't want your reputation soiled and people finding out about your family's condition but the real truth here is that my grudge is against your parents, not you."

"Do you have amnesia of some sort? You forced me into marrying you! You gave me no choice, and cheat you? You must be delusional." I respond.

"Believe me, if you had declined once, I wouldn't have pushed further. I acted on your will. You didn't say no. You agreed, at once." He says and I gasp, shocked. Was he telling the truth?

"If you didn't have any grudge against me, you wouldn't have given the condition that I marry you. You ruined my life and I will hate you for it till the day I die." I say, but his words confuse me so I have to ask, "Grudge? What did my parents ever do to you? We don't even know you and I did not agree to be married to you, I was forced to do so, so don't you ever say that I agreed. My mother signed that document. I didn't." I say, as I get up to leave. I couldn't bear eating on the same table as he.

"Sit down." Carrington says, but I walk off. "Natalie!" He shouts, but I'm already on the staircase.

"Natalie!" He calls again and as I hear his voice, I remember the incident that happened earlier, so I quickly run up, into my room. I lock the door immediately I get in. He arrives and begins to hit the door violently. I had gotten married to a mad man.

"Natalie, let me in!" He shouts, "Open the door!"

"Go away! I hate you and I will always, always love Rocky!" Then suddenly, he breaks the lock from the outside and pushes his way in. I look at him with terror in my eyes. He rushes and grabs my arm.

"What did you say?"

I sob, "Let go! Leave me alone, I'm warning you."
