Chapter 441: The Audacity
Olivia stared down at the picture in her hand and then the marriage certificate. The audacity! The sheer, brazen audacity of that man to flash a grin as though this marriage was anything a travesty. As if she hadn’t been coerced into this charade by his cunningness and threats. And to add insult to injury, he had to look devilishly handsome while doing it.
She hadn’t missed the way the staff at the Civil affairs bureau had been glaring at her with jealousy. Their envious stares, questioning why such a man would choose her and dote over her. How had she never known that Seb Frost could give an Oscar winning performance of a doting and caring lover.
And he’d maintained the entire facade at the hospital, charming the doctors and the nurses.He’d even aksed the doctor if they could continue to have physical relationship like they did after confirming her pregnancy! Did he really think she was going to sleep with him after everything he had done? He was overly optimistic then! She should have punched him in the face right there when the doctor had laughed and given him permission to enjoy their ’married’ life as long as he was careful!
And that wasn’t enough for him that he had brought her here... wherever this was. Where was even this foresaken place? How could she have been so foolish to have fallen asleep when they left the hospital.
She knew of course it was not really foolishness but sheer exhaustion from the events of the day, but to not even realize that she’d been moved from a car to a helicopter, was astounding. She only woke up when the helicopter’s wind hit her face as Seb carried her out.
Standing up, she walked to the window of this huge ’home’. At least she now knew they were on some island. But she’d woken up dazed. And while she had been thinking of talking to him all the time, they ended up having an argument.
Confused, she’d looked around," Where are we? What is this place?"
"It’s my vacation home. Since we are on our honeymoon, I thought we could use some time away from everything, just the two of us."
What a joke! "Hello? Seb?Just the two of us? Do you think this is a normal marriage?" she’d asked shocked. "Are you on some kind of delusion inducing dru*s? Have you already forgotten that you forced me into the marriage and this is not..."
"It is a normal marriage to me. And it would be better if you accept this fact at the soonest as well for the future of our unborn child."
And then, before she could argue more, he’d carted her into this large place and announced, " I have some things to finish off before we can continue our honeymoon . You can rest until then. The food has been laid out and there are clothes for you in the master bedroom on the first floor.. I’ll try to return as soon as possible. If you need anything, just pick up the landline phone in the kitchen, you’ll be connected to the local security. As for your things, they are being shifted to my place even now."
