Chapter 2

Eventually,her parents had tearfully agreed and they told her that if it gets too much for her,she could come back home and they’d understand. But Renee was determined to get her family out of this predicament even if it meant living a life she never planned. That was how Renee found herself in the Moretti’s family’s Villa. When she informed the security guards of her purpose of being in the house,a man approached her and introduced himself as the butler and then informed her to follow him inside the house. “You’re going to undergo the young master’s inspection today.”The butler informed her. Inspection? What did that mean? Renee swallowed the hard lump in her throat as she continued following the butler.She was too nervous to appreciate how heavenly the Villa was. As they got by a door,the butler opened it for her and gestured at her to go in. Renee’s heart was pounding behind her rib cage.It felt as if it was going to pound out of her chest. She had no idea what was going to happen to her in this so called inspection. But she tried to tell herself that it was worth it. She was doing this for her family. She loves her family and she loves her sister a lot. She walked through the door and the butler shut the door behind her. She looked around,frantically. The room was dark and only a faint light was radiating from the bedside lamp. “Strip and lay on the bed.” That voice scared her shitless. She shakily followed the direction of the voice and squinted her eyes,she managed to make out the broad form of a man. “Don’t make me repeat myself!” His cold voice sent shrills down her body. Was this perhaps the most feared Dante Moretti? He wanted her to strip? Was he going to sleep with her right now? She had always wanted her first time to be with someone she loves. She had always imagined it being so magical but that clearly would only remain a dream. She had gotten herself into this so she had to be strong and face everything that came with it. With shaky fingers,she undid the zip of her skirt and shove it down her legs,slowly and reluctantly pulling her panties along with it. She felt so exposed, too exposed. She moved slowly to remove her shirt but then stopped,fidgeting. “Don’t make me rip that off you!”His cold voice sounded again. The deep growl he emitted made her shiver. She felt she was going to get sick right now. She was trembling with fear. She tugged the material off and over her head without a word then tossed it to the floor,letting her arms hang down at her sides. “Get on the bed.”He ordered. She looked around and finally able to make out the shape of the bed,she walked up to it and laid down on the bed. She wondered what age was this man. She had tried to make research on him last night so as to at least know who she would possibly be marrying. But there were different speculations about him online. Some said he was hideous and notorious. Some said he was old and ugly. Some said he had a sexual dysfunction and that was why he found it hard to be with any woman. She also knew that no one had dared to offer their daughters to be married to him. But she had willingly come here. The most mysterious part about Dante was how hideous people said his face was. She was naked on the bed as she heard footsteps approaching her. She trembled even more when she felt the bed dipping. But her trepidation increased when she felt his hand on her neck. It was coarse and cold.He didn’t hold her tightly there,but his hold was a bit firm.And then his hand moved, he touched her face and drag his hand down to her chest, her breasts, her stomach. Her heart was practically in her throat now. The man fell into a short silence and then asked.”Are you scared?”His voice was hoarse and low. Extremely nervous as she was,she couldn’t tell whether his voice sounded pleasant or not but one thing she knew was that it was cold,too cold. Thinking about her family,she took a deep breath trying to calm her trembling nerves. “I…I am scared but I…It’s okay.” It was far from okay. She just didn’t want to upset the man. The man reached over and increased the brightness of the bedside lamp. Renee shut her eyes immediately,too frightened to stare at the face that people called an eye-sore. People said he looked dreadful and she was scared that the sight of his face might make her faint thereby,ruining her chances of becoming his wife. Dante silently let his hand run down between her legs. With closed eyes,Renee pleaded. “I…I really haven’t done this before.Please don’t be rough with me.”” As he continued rubbing her thighs,her body stiffened and she thought she might become as stiff as a stone.Her little hands clutched the sheet so hard that she almost tore it. Dante stared at her trembling form and smirked. “Do you know what it means coming here and wanting to be my wife?” She slowly nodded. “What does it mean to you?”He asked her. “It means I get to be yours for as long as you want me and you…and I’ll get the money in exchange.” He grimaced, liking her honesty. She wasn’t sweet-talking him as most women do. He reached for the duvet and covered her body with it. No man had ever seen her naked body before and the fact that this man had done more than seeing it made her feel like dying. She found him repulsive but she had no choice but to be his plaything tonight and his wife, for life.
