-Thomas POV : As the night fell , I found myself staring at my phone . The time was 10:13 pm , Rabena had been in the shed for over 9 hours and still had not called me begging for forgiveness . " What the hell has gotten into her ! " This wasn't the Raben I had grown accustomed to . When I first met Rabena she was 15 years old . I remembered everyone talking about how the Crests brought home their long - lost daughter . Apparently she had been kidnapped from the hospital shortly after being born . To be honest I quite surprised , The Crests never said anything about a missing daughter . The first time I saw her , she was playing a violin in the garden , I remembered thinking how beautiful the music was . When she finally turned to look at me , she reminded me of some type of angel . There was bright light in her eyes that I had never seen before . She gave me this angelic yet vivacious smile , I had to admit , I found her breathtaking . But that didn't matter , I had already promised my heart to Danielle , and I wasn't going to betray her . Rabena tried everything she could to worm her way into my life including saving my grandmother . Luckily for her it worked because shortly after , an arranged marriage was set between the two of us . I'll never forget the day I found out I was to be betrothed to Rabena . " Grandmother what is this! " My grandmother sat at her rose garden clipping flowers for her vase when she looked up at me . " What's what boy ? Be clear . " Annoyed I began to protest . " Why are you marrying me off to Rabena Crest ! You know I love Danielle ! " " You're asking why I want you to marry the young woman that saved my life ? " I knew she was going to bring that up , although I was grateful Rabena saved my grandmother , I didn't understand why I had to pay that debt . " Grandmother , can't you just give her some money or something? " My grandmother stopped clipping her roses and looked at me with fierce anger in her eyes . " And exactly how much do you think my life is worth ? She always did this ! Twist everything , I say ! " That's not what I meant grandmother I'm just saying I love Dan " I don't care ! Listen to me boy , one day you're going to learn that Danielle girl is nothing but trouble ! I just 1/2 Chapter 5 pray I'm not alive to see the downfall . You're marrying Rabena and that's final ! You'll do well to treat her right ! " And that was it , I couldn't contest , not if I wanted to become CEO of Lockwood Corp. So , I angrily married Rabena , I didn't even give her a wedding . Just a trip to the courthouse and a cheap silver band . We didn't even consummate our marriage ; I refused to touch her , afraid that it mean I was betraying Danielle . Still , she played the role of a dutiful and obedient wife , never wavering or giving any trouble . That only made me hate her more , it was like she was trying to make me purposely feel guilty . Now , she was lying in a shed all because she couldn't say sorry . Every other time she would apologize with no issues , why was today so different ? I suddenly knocked out of my deep thought by Danielle sitting on my lap . " Hey , what are you thinking about ? " She looked up at me with the sweetest expression . I was always a slave to that smile . " Nothing . What are you up too ? " " You know I can tell when you're lying . You're worried about Rabena aren't you ? " I hated to admit it , but I was worried . Why was she being so damn stubborn . Chapter Comments 5 POST COMMENT NOW SHARE
