"Aren't you a little too old for sneaking in dorms ?"I ask him softly and he chuckles. "If the college is yours. I don't think so . " he replies to me and I step back ,he steps close to me , I get a whiff of his scent ,should I be glad he's wearing all black and combat boots even with his physique built like this ? No ,focus . "Why are you here ?"I ask him, he tilts his head ."Checking if you're being a good wife . Or a bad one ,either one you choose to be doesn't matter to me . As long as you don't bring unwanted things and claim them as mine. " he says and I push him away from me ,but he just freezes in place. "I'm not like other women ."I say huffing for air.
"And I'm not like many men ."he adds ,which I am aware of . "I just wanted to show you that even if you're far away from me, you're never out of reach ."he says and I know it's true . He casually walks around the dorm , even entering my roommates room. He crosses his arms over his chest after he sees a bra on the floor . "Now that's an introduction , could've been better if you did it but you're scary and boring ."he says and I roll my eyes ,sarcasm clear in his tone. "For an old and rich man you need more hobbies."I tell him and he chuckles deep in his throat. "You're my new hobby now sweetheart. " he shrugs casually making eye contact with me .
I look away , pouring him water . "Did you tell dear roomsie you're my wife?"he asks me, I deliberately push the glass filled water at him and he catches it with a smug smile on his face . "No , I didn't. I just told her I'm your daughter , and that you always sent me to boarding school that we hate each other. "I shrug and he nods his head ,as if he could care less what I say . To him I'm just a vessel.
"Ah I know this, you think this means that you'll live a peaceful life here .But nah."he says, his tone getting even deeper. "Hell just begun babe, say swear. " he says.
"Swear. "I say it . He drinks his glass of water this time without raking any breaks ,I watch his Adam's apple move. Once he's done , he puts it down with a thud , and he walks up to me , caging me in between his arms , "Gutsy."he mutters , his voice deeper now , I grip my sleeve tighter. Will he slap me ?I hope not. "Say swear ."he repeats and this time I keep my mouth shut ,"And here I was thinking your rebellion meant you were mature enough to take accountability. " he says , he only steps back from me . He turns and finally leaves through the the door this time ,I sigh in relief . But I know it's only for a while , I literally said 'swear" I shouldn't have but I did cause he's pretty much annoying and scary .
He's the type of guy to only speak once amd the workd around him shatters . With that distress at night , I change into pajamas. Sleeping and only waking up to the possible bad things he might do , his voice keeps on jolting me awake ,"Say swear ."the same words over and over again ,until the sun creeks over mountains and my room. My roommate knocks on my door and I go get it , looking like a zombie , dark circles under my eyes , baggy and all . "Woah , what happened to you ?"she asks and I smile softly, "Mind games with my dad. "I say to her and she steps aside , walking behind me . "That bad huh ."she says and I nod my head.
"You don't always have to go to class ,you know that right ?"she says ,"First days matter , that's what my mom always said. "I tell her in a rebute way and she only holds her hands up in defense. "Okay , uhm while you try to look alive I'll be taking a shower. Breakfasts in the oven ."she says clicking her fingers together and she leaves to take a shower. Once I'm alone in the kitchen , I grip the edges tightly . That sick old mmmh .
I grit my teeth together, he only made me this way for fun. Anticipation for his next move , keep me waiting , guessing ,thinking ,wide awake . I run my fingers through my hair and I snatched the necklace with our rings off ,and angrily toss it on the floor . Whatever he does next I'll ust have to be prepared mentally to counter act .
Meanwhile , he's just going through some papers, for work . Casually drinking bourbon, his face so focused and his eyes sharp . The only reason why he did that was to prepare her for someone who might even try to harm her. All is fair in games and games right ? "This one needs to be discarded immediately. " he tells his secretary , "We do not support systems that can destroy our own diversity. Report it to higher authorities now."he adds then he puts his head on the soft cushion on his chair. He wonders what she might be doing right now ? He checks the time on his wrist watch , probably interacting with her peers or even worse but who cares cause he didn't.
