"Be careful, with what you say or do" He said and walked away leaving Emily upset

"Be careful, with what you say or do" Emily said mimicking his voice before going to her room. She spent the whole night blaming her parents for all these things, she was a puppet and still a puppet.

"I'll try to live my best life"

"I can't stay indoors all day, I can't be controlled for the rest of my life" She added and paced back and front in her room before sitting on her bed,

"Mum called once and that was it, dad didn't call neither do I expect him to call," She said, "how can they be so heartless to abandon me," She said feeling exhausted,

"I can see clearly that he gets angry over little things," She said and jumped on her bed, strolling through her phone for something thrilling and interesting to do.

Soon it was morning and her dark room was lit up by the rays of the morning sun, she stopped left and right on her bed unable to sleep. Earlier she offed the light and now the sun has lit her room up with its bright light

She lazily stood up and went to the bathroom to wash her face and brush her teeth, she wore her face mask. Emily walked downstairs with a wide and bright smile.

"Good morning ma" One of the servants greeted

"Good morning" Emily replied cheerfully. She went to the fridge and brought out a red wine, she took it upstairs to her room. Damion, who was at the dinner table saw her, "what's with her cheerful mood?" He mentally thought

"Arrg...." She screamed realizing she forget to take a glass cup from the kitchen, she stood up and looked round her room for her phone, it wasn't on the bed, she must have dropped it somewhere.

"Oh, there it is," She said after spotting it on the vanity in her room. She picked it up to check the alarm she set on her phone. She still has 2 mins before she'll pill off the face mask, so she ran downstairs to the kitchen

She passed Damion without noticing his presence, she was ignorant of every other thing. She immediately picked up a glass cup and ran out of the kitchen. Damion's gaze rested on the kitchen entrance, and immediately Emily Stepped out of the kitchen, her eyes met with his eyes. He sat down at the dinner table, with a straight face, he looked like an idol, everyone's idol but not Emily's idol. To Emily, there was no connection, there just lived together as a married couple because of their family. There was no spark between them and there were fine that way. It was better that they lived as strangers than she humiliate herself by trying to build a relationship with him.

"Good morning" she greeted and Damion smirked.

"How Dumb?" He thought she was so naive and meek

"Good morning" Damion replied and stood up to leave the dinner table, he had a very important meeting to attend by 9 o'clock. Damion's phone suddenly rang, and as Emily saw the time on his phone, she ran upstairs as if she was being chased, and Damion just stared at her bewildered.

"Hello," Said the voice at the other end of the phone

"What is the matter?" Damion asked abruptly

"We've found out about their next move," The caller said

"Meet me in my office today by two," Damion said and hung up the call. He walked out of the house and entered his car. The driver drove to his office immediately.

Emily ran upstairs and quickly entered her room. She was breathing heavily

"In and out, breath in and out," she said trying to steady her breaths

"She checked the time and she just had 4 seconds before she'll pill off the mask" She sat down on the chair and stared at the mirror

"What's wrong with being, what's wrong with being confident... Oh...ooo" Her alarm rang, and she sang along with the song

Emily began to pill off the mask, she looked at her reflection in the mirror and smiled. "Pretty face," She said and walked into the bathroom to shower and apply the skin care product Damion bought for her

The spent 10 minutes in the bathroom, looking into the mirror, she hasn't thought of herself as a beauty, she hasn't even spent time dressing up. When she got out of the bathroom, she smiled and began to apply her body lotion. She wore a lemon green knee-length dress and black scandals. She packed her hair into a tight and neat bun. She applied a strawberry-flavored lip balm and picked a black purse from her bag rank. She put the lip balm and the credit card that Damion gave her some days back in case she wants to buy anything. Today she plans on going shopping, these clothes were already here before she came, her room was prepared the day before she entered the house but she wanted new clothes

"What if I audition for a movie?" She thought, she would be an actress, although she was not convinced that her family won't go against her decision, but who cares, "Not me" She thought. Emily always has a passion for acting but her family was solely against it. Now that she's married, they can't decide for her anymore

She picked up her phone and walked out of the room, the servants were staring at her. "Ma'am are you going somewhere," The butler asked and slightly bowed his head in respect

"Yes," Emily replied

"What car would you like to use," He asked and Emily turned to look at him, "Can you take me to the garage," She asked

"Yes ma, please follow me," He said and took Emily to the garage. Emily's mouth was open, she was stunned

"Wow, he has a large collection of expensive cars," Emily said,

"Which car would you like to use, ma'am," The butler asked
