some
slave.” He kicked the door, and it swung outward. George, Jessica,
and Stephanie came running over. He saw them watching. Her father
looked shamed and gazed at the floor. Her mother pressed a hand to
her heart and smiled, and Stephanie shot daggers at Lily. Wayne saw
all the reactions, and he was disgusted with them all.
“Where are you taking
her?” Jessica came forward, all motherly pretence included.
“Away from you. You’ll
be invited to the wedding, but with regards to anything else, you’d
better stay away,” he warned. “My lawyers will be in contact.”
He left them behind.
Caring for his woman was now at the forefront of his mind. “You can
put me down now,” Lily said.
“I like having you in
my arms.”
“I’m too heavy.”
“Is that what they all
told you? Nonsense, Lily, I’ll carry you whenever I want.” He’d
carry her over the threshold as a married couple. And he’d do the
same on his wedding night when he took her to bed.
Wayne was determined to
wait until his wedding night, giving Lily the proper white wedding
she deserved, and hopefully, win some brownie points with her.
Chapter
Four
Lily watched the
passing scenery with half a heart. Wayne, her future husband,
carried her all the way to the car and strapped her in. His
attentiveness was sweet after the demands he’d made earlier.
With a sigh, she rested
her throbbing head against the windowpane. Her life would change
forever. Her thighs still ached from having him between them, her
pussy and panties soaked from her climax. When she’d awoken this
morning, it had never entered her head where the morning would
go.
Wayne took her hand,
and she wanted to pull away but knew he owned her. She didn’t have
much of a choice but to do as he said.
“What happens now?” she
asked.
“I’m taking you to my
apartment in the city. We’re going to spend a little time house
hunting before we pick a property, and then I’ll organize for a
wedding planner to come around for you to plan our wedding.” He
sounded so chirpy.
“What happens to my
family?”
“Why do you care about
them so much?”
“Because they’re still
my family, and I love them.”
She knew what he was
thinking. She still loved them, but they couldn’t give two shits
about her. Pitiful. The entire situation simply highlighted the
fact she would do anything to gain their love and respect.
She continued to watch
the flow of trees and houses. She refused to look at him.
“They’ll be looked
after. The debt will be paid and they'll be given an allowance, but
they must keep within their means. I’m not some bank account.”
“What happens to my
father’s companies? And you do sound like a bank account. What
makes you think I’m not some gold-thingy or other? I can’t remember
what you people call them.” She knew his business acumen left a lot
to be desired but she hoped, in his own way, he would still care
about other people and their loyalty to her father’s company. She
really hoped he cared enough. He'd bought failing businesses and
built them back up with the same staff.
“They’re still his but
my company will be overseeing them, trying to find ways to turn a
profit. The term, by the way, is gold-digger.” Wayne chuckled.
Seconds later, his chuckle turned into laughter.
“Please make sure you
don’t fire or get rid of any of his staff. They’ve had a tough
couple of years and don't need the fear of unemployment looming
over their heads.”
“I’ll see what I can
do.”
She couldn’t do
anything else.
“Why are you laughing
at me?”
“You didn’t even know
what a gold-digger was, so I’m reassured you’re not after me for my
money.”
“The only reason I’m in
this car is because of your money.”
“No, it’s not. You’re
in this car because you want to protect your family at all
cost.”
Lily shrugged. She
guessed it was true.
They travelled through
London traffic, well, more like slowly crawled
