A Wedding?
Mandy
“Dad, where are we going?” I screamed at the top of my voice, Immediately they threw me into the car, and he had his guard seat on my left and right sides leaving me with no means of escape.Exclusive © content by N(ô)ve/l/Drama.Org.
“You know I can file for kidnapping right? Cause this looks like it,” I threatened, struggling so hard to free myself from their grip but it was to no avail.
“It’s either you shut it back there, or I get you blindfolded,” he threatened
“You wouldn’t do that!” I responded
“Try me! Try me, Mandy,” Oh I knew that tone, that was the tone of a man who cares about no one but himself. That tone made me shut it down immediately, as I involuntarily cooperated with them.
“At least tell me where we are going,” I asked him calmly, and he looked over at me from the front seat for a brief second before responding.
“The Reigns Mansion,”
“What?” My eyes almost plugged out of my sockets from what he said, I looked at him further expecting to hear him say he was kidding, but he uttered no words again.
*The Reigns Mansion*
We arrived at the Reigns Mansion, and immediately Dad asked them to drag me inside to room five on the West wing. I looked at him with wide eyes wondering what was happening.
“Don’t give your mom a heart attack. So smile,” he demonstrates with his hands on his mouth.
They pulled me up the stairs and headed forward for room five on the west wing. I felt my stomach clenched, as everything was going so fast and becoming real.
I am going to be a mom? I’m going to have my own family and be a part of someone else’s family. It scared me so badly that I felt like I was going to throw up as a result of it.
A few moments later, we arrived at the fifth door, and they turned the knob, opened the door, and pushed me Inside. I stare at them pissed up and give them my middle fingers, before sitting on the bed.
“You stay here, and wait for them,” was all they said, and left the room leaving my question unanswered about who I would be waiting for.
I looked around me, taking into notice the beautiful paintings on the wall, and how gorgeous the vases in the room were. I walked towards the vase and smelt the fresh flowers which made me relax. But the moment I got conscious of my environment, I got frightened thinking about what awaited me here…
“It’s not going to be that bad Mandy,” I told myself and slumped back to the bed. The door made a little noise, and I got up abruptly…
“Oh, mine! It’s you. Thank you so much for coming here,” she engulfs me in a hug
“And I’m so sorry if my husband and I crossed the boundaries the last time we spoke, I just want to let you know it was all with good intentions,” she smiled brightly at me, after pulling from the hug.
“It’s all cool,” I smiled tightly, while she breathed out in relief.
“Alright, you can bring her things over,” she said staring at the door, and I took my head closer to see who it was, noticing it was the maids with luggage which I immediately identified to be mine, making me shocked.
“Is my Dad still here? I want to talk to him?” I rushed to say, smiling amidst my words, while I got worried.
“Your dad left a while ago, but he asked me to give this to you,” She handed me a piece of note, and immediately my phone beeped with a new message.
“He said it was something concerning your promise to your mom,” she spoke while I looked to notice I received a text from my Dad.
“Don’t be the cause of your mother’s death,” I read the messages and when I opened the note with shaky hands it had a little love sketch. “Be a good girl, Mandy Rodgers. Be good to your mom, too,” I read and felt my heart pounder a bit.
I wasn’t dumb, I knew what this meant. I know what Dad was doing. I knew exactly what he meant and thought it gave me the icks.
“Is everything okay?” Mrs. Reigns asked while I nodded my head forcing a smile on my lips.
“He knew mom was my weakness, even when she had his back all those terrible times. Even when I hated her for it, she was still my most favorite person.
Now I couldn’t tell if my father was joking about hurting my mom or if he was being freaking real.
The thought of it made me realize the night he came back home drunk, he launched toward Mom talking about his colleague who had a son, and right now he wished he had one. He poured his frustration on her, calling her names and blaming her for not giving him a male child, and then he hit her across her face, sending her backward to the floor where she hit her head on the wall.
I hid behind the stairs, watching him hit her again and again, saying it was the influence of being drunk, but at that age, I knew who he was and that man was a beast and not my Dad.
“Mandy?” I saw Mrs. Reigns flicker her fingers over my face to get me to reality. I sighed heavily and stared at her while she smiled and continued to talk
“You’re listening?” She asked and I nodded even though I barely paid attention.
“So the wedding is going to be grand, we would send special invites to the family. But right now I’m thinking about having it even bigger, ” she smiled excitedly
“A wedding? You’re planning for a wedding?” I questioned now standing on my seat, while I stared at her feeling my heart beat rapidly…
My legs wobbled and suddenly I felt this sharp pain hit all over my body, the talks about marriage or weddings made me feel dizzy and before I understood what was happening I felt my eyes shutting themselves, as I slumped on the floor immediately…
