Chapter 18: We are getting married
CHAPTER EIGHTEEN.
Christine’s POV.
It’s a Spa.
The classiest I’ve ever seen in my entire life. His men came over to open the door and I stepped down from the car. I stood and looked at the skyscraper building before me in awe, it was breathtaking and glassy.
“We don’t have all day here!!” Fanuel whispered harshly.
“Why am I here?”
“Behave yourself, get in there and get done with whatever shit they are going to do with you.”
“That didn’t answer my question.”
“Are you trying to bring that act of feistiness here in public? Don’t let me tell my men to throw you in there! Get the fuck out of my sight and go in there.”
“Are you coming with me?”
“Are you crazy? Why will I do that…you want my name to fly all over the media…can you stop being so Inquisitive and go in there with my men, we have other places to go”
I nodded in confusion as I followed his men into the aesthetic spa. The workers there were the most friendly and beautiful, They couldn’t stop smiling as they ushered us in.
We went to the front desk and I was asked to fill a form.
“Welcome to Sterlings Spa ma’am, kindly fill in your details. Let’s get you in the spa room, your husband can wait here in the reception for you.
The beautiful lady on white said, referring to Cole, Faunel’s right hand man.
” She’s not my wife, just following orders. Please she needs to get done as soon as possible, we have other places to touch”
He told her in a most professional way while the Lady nodded and made some calls. I was led into another room of beauties. It was bright and a white bed lay in the midst with ladies clad in white uniform.
“You need to take your bath ma’am.” One of them had told me and I nodded.
It was the most exquisite bath ever as I didn’t want to come out again from the Jacuzzi bath. I smelt so sweet and only God knew what sort of soap they used to mix the water. I wrapped myself with the towel provided and came out, I was directed to lay on the snow white bed as they worked magic on my skin. The towel was stripped off my body as they worked, a massage was plastered on my body, I sighed in ecstasy as I slept off.
****
I felt a tap on my shoulders and I snapped my eyes open, I glanced around and I was unsure of my environment.
I was in a spa, so how come….. oh this is a car, a driving one.
Who carried me? Shit! Who dressed me up? I gasped and clasped my hands on my body.
“Cole carried you on here, and the workers there dressed you up since you were lost in your fantasy dream land.” Fanulel said as if sensing my thoughts.
I turned my face away from him and stared at the window, looking at the light poles and streets, and people of all kinds staring at everything that came passing by as I drift back to what I found in the room.
The diamond necklace! I could swear that it belonged to Fanuel, I’ve seen him wearing that and there’s no mistake that it was the necklace he accused me of taking.
What the hell was it doing in my pockets?
Just how did it find its way there?
Laurel said she took it, could it mean she hid it there?
Could she have tried to frame me with it but couldn’t? Gosh!! I had better speak with her before I get crazy with confusion.
And Fanuel? What’s it with this treatment? What does he have on his sleeve this time around?
“Step down and please don’t steal anything, we are in a boutique”
I gasp and glare at him.
“What the h….”
“Get whatever shit you want in there and let’s go.”
“Does it look like I want a dime from you?!!”
“It doesn’t have to look like, it’s what every girl wants, especially your type.”
“What’s wrong with you? Why do you have to keep rubbing it all over my face that you can buy the whole world and my dad Stole from you, I never asked you for anything, I’ve got clothes to wear and I don’t need anything from you!!” I snapped back but he cocks his head arrogantly as if I was reciting a boring speech.
” Get out from here”
“I don’t need clothes.” I say stubbornly.
“Your time starts now, and God help me not to give you a lashing slap this moment.”
I flinched when he said that, I didn’t want my pretty face to get whipped by this monster so I had better get out and pick a few items.
Well that was a blatant lie! I picked every beautiful item that came my way.
******
We reached the house and I stepped out from the car and rushed inside but bumped something hard in the process.
“Are you okay?” A deep voice said and I raised my head to stare at him, I groaned cause I had hit my arm in the process.
“Yeah, I’m sorry” It was his cute friend, Edward who kept staring at me, gosh! I loved his jacket.. it had my favorite celebrity name on it and it’s logo.
“A fan of BTS?”
“A lot, my addiction” he chuckled.
“I see, I thought I was pretty…guess my jacket took its place.”
“You’re really pretty” I told him and rushed inside.
I shouldn’t be having conversation with Fanuel’s friend, those two are not to be trusted.
“Oh my!! Baby girl your skin is glowing” Diana gasped the moment she saw me.
“Really? Thanks… I don’t know what the occasion is but Fanuel Hudson took me to a spa and a boutique.”
“Are you kidding me right now?” Jayden said, heading towards our direction with his mum.
“Fanuel took you out? Why? ” His mum asked, confused and I feared greatly. I seriously don’t know why.
“We are getting married Mum, I’m getting married to Christine Webb” Fanuel said emerging from the staircase and I froze in shock.
