MARRIAGE AT FIRST SIGHT - CHAPTER 11

“You look hideous, no matter what you wear.
This will work anyway. “He said and started walking out.

“Select some more dresses if you want. “He announced ounce outside the room and threw a pink dress inside.

“I h@?? pink! “She bellowed in anger.

*******

Maddy dropped down on the bed along with the shopping bags she frowned, her life was such a mess.

She had never imagined herself ever wearing such girly clothes.

The way his eyes haf ran down her physique, judging every bit of her.
She felt so embarrassed and angry, she didn’t even know what he was thinking.

She threw the bags away as she crawled into her covers and removed her sneakers. After the strange incident in the changing room, she wanted him to stay at least 100 meters away from her.

******
Can’t you just zip it close at once, you pervert! ”
Maddy hissed while applying a shade of red on her lips.

“Keep still for a second!
It’s stuck. “Charles said while focusing on zipping up her dress.

Finally, he zipped it up and let her hair open to fal gracefully down her back.

“Perfect “. He utter and looked at his reflection in the mirror while adjusting his tie.

“What? “she snapped her head at him

“I look perfect, “. He said glaring back as he wore his coat.

She narrowed her eyes at him but soon went on to wear her heels.

“Ugh! Why the hell am I doing all this? “She muttered enough loudly for him to hear.

“Because you don’t want to be homeless. “He said looking at her.

She rolled her eyes in annoyance, of only she could k!ll him.

“I said never roll your eyes at me! “. He growled.

“I don’t care! You’re just so annoying! “she exclaimed.

“I am not fond of you either, Madelyn. “He said.

“It’s Maddy! “. She groaned.

“I’ll call you by your formal name, do wh@??ver you want to do. “He sneered while she left the room, struggling a bit in the heels.

Mr and Mrs Stephens arrived with thier two kids, and the couples welcomed them warmly as they all sat for dinner.

Maddy chose to be in her best behavior, not even showing how boring she felt the whole dinner thing to be.

“We have heard a lot about you, after all you made this handsome bachelor settle down for you. “Mrs Stephen smiled at her.

Maddy giggled nervously and glancing at Charles who was just smiling while trying to put his focus on food.

If only Mrs Stephens knew that the Evans empire had made this handsome bachelor to settle down.

“He must be so engrossed in his work. It is a wonder how you two must be spending time. “She said.

Maddy realized, Mrs Stephens had an interest to poke her nose in other’s personal lives.

“He gives me time, and I am completing my college, so I also don’t remain at house untill evening.

“He is a great husband, supports me and loves me so much. “Maddy lied as much as she could while glancing at him from time to time just to be confirmed that her praises weren’t going off the limit.

The rest of the dinner went smoothly.

As soon as they left,Maddy threw the heels away.

“It’s disgusting. “She scowled at Charles who just shook his head.

“Thank you. “She heard him say.

“For what? “She asked.

But he ignored her and left to his room.
**********
“There’s a party at jake’s place, would you come? ”
Tara asked while Maddy tried to complete her assignment.

“No, although he invited me but it is difficult for me, it’s quite late. “She said.

Tara chuckled,

“You can’t believe I’m hearing those words from you she said.

“I have plans with Charles. “Maddy lied, she knew she had a deadline and she just couldn’t trust Charles with his anger issues,

deep down she was scared he would throw her out of house if she went against his will, even though her dad had used the same tactics with her which hardly affected her plans because she believed in him,

she believed no matter what, he was her dad and loved her.

But now, Charles was a stranger, although she was married to him, they both hardly talked, and she could hardly trust him.

“Plans? “Tara asked.

Madelyn chose to remain silent, acting as if she was way too busy writing down her assignment.

“I get it, of course you have plans with him, after all he is your husband. “Tara said getting up.

“It’s noting like that… he wants me for dinner. “She said.

“Sometimes I feel sorry for you, I mean… Such a free spirited girl is suddenly abiding by every rule her husband puts forth.
Sometimes I feel he is more of a dictator then a husband to you. “Tara said.

“It’s not that, he just -”
Maddy couldn’t speak up.

She really had no idea, what should she speak up? That her husband treats her like a kid? Gets her grounded? Hardly spends time with her?

She knew somewhere deep down, Tara’s hurtful words were her reality.

“I’ll come for the house party. “Maddy spoke up all of a sudden.
