In the morning he woke me up and he drove me home and then he rushed with his things and left for his trip. I was glad that he left and now at least I can feel some freedom. I had planned to savor my days with this new freedom.  

Finally a sense of freedom took life in me. It felt good to have to make decision for me. I dressed myself in blue long skirt with blue and white stripped blouse and went to the red Ferrari which was given to me for use during Mr. Wilson's absence.

I reached hospital and as I was about to enter  my Mom's Room, a nurse came and said " Mam.. your Mom is not here she has been shifted to VIP section room no 312. I moved to the location and there I found my Mom in a luxurious bed with a nurse sitting next to her. My mom smiled at me when she saw me.

"Mom how are you doing" I asked.

"I am good sweetheart but tell me about you" She said softly.

"I am also good knowing you are good" I replied smiling.

"Baby how am I in VIP section. I am for sure we could not afford this luxury" she asked frowning.

I was dreading this question and then I told her that I won a lottery and now we can afford this. Though she seemed skeptical but she agreed and did not probe more.

Soon we are catching up with each other and how 3 hours passed I did not know.

I looked at my phone when it rang. 

"Excuse me Mom.. I have to take this" I told her.

"Hello" I said

"Sophie... where are you ??" He asked demanding.

"I am at hospital with my Mom" I replied

"Then why were you not lifting my calls" he asked.

"I.. I.. got carried away Mr. Wilson sorry I kept my phone in vibration" I replied.

"Well love better this be last time you didn't lift my call. Because when I come back I am going to make you pay back for this and " He replied before ending the call.

I felt cold run down my spine. My mother noticed the change in me.

"What happened dear? Is it something I need to worry about" she asked.

"No Mom.. everything is alright" I replied assuring her.

"Who is Mr. Wilson" she asked.

I was caught offguard by her with this question.

"He is the person I bought the ticket. Actually I was waiting on this table. He missed his purse that day and he asked the bill to be sent to his office. As for my tip he gave me the lottery ticket".

"Then why did you became serious suddenly" she asked.

"Ahh.. mom he was calling me to have meetings so that I can make significant investments to double my finance".

She was convinced. I left after sometime and came back home.

I got out of my car when Robert ran over to me and said

"Mam... I would request you to not enter the mansion from front but follow my lead to alternate route"

I lift my brow but followed him quietly.

After we reached backside I asked him "But why Robert are we entering from back?".

"Well Mam... Mr. Wilson told me that no one should see you in the mansion when he is not around" he replied.

"So.. ummm... is there someone in the house.... I mean his potential client" I asked expectantly. He nodded.

I understood why? Mr. Wilson did marry me. But he never announced me as his wife to the world.For him I was a dirt poor girl who had to repay the money he lend. And this might be a very potential client waiting for him. For him to not want complication of girlfriend or wife in his business.

I was back in my room and took a nap. I woke up when Robert came back with my lunch. I asked him whether the person left or not. He said he will stay for 2 days.

Next Morning after my usual schedule I went to library. I was reading a book that had tips on how to start a new business I was just listing out my options when I felt someone staring at me. I looked for the source and my breath was caught in my throat.

In front of me was a man and not just a man but a rich one. This man was handsomely dressed and I immediately guessed that he is the man whom I am supposed to avoid.

Since I was told my Mr. Wilson not to talk to any man except him while I was his. I was also warned by Robert that Mr. Wilson didn't want me to be seen. 

So I put the book on the table and made a move to pass him. But he grabbed my hand.

"Oh my you are real" He was surprised.

I gave him a questioning look.

 "I am Ryan.. Ryan Smith " He said smiling still holding my hand. I tried pulling it out when he interrupted "Won't you tell me your name lovely?"

I just looked at him and tried pulling away when he tightened his grip.

I was getting nervous and blood was rushing through my veins and I looked up when he whispered "I will release it as soon as you tell me your name Angel" . I glared at him I saw him smirking.

I still tried to pry my hand but still I could see him smiling at my futile effort. Then I did the unexpected I moved a bit closer and bit his hand. He release my wrist and when I was about to open the door he said " I will remember this my angel".

I looked at him and bolted towards the hall and somehow managed to my room.

I was now getting hyperventilated thinking if Mr. Wilson came to know I was with another man even if it was not because of my choice he would make me pay for it. I didn't knew what to do with my life the contract with him was proving so much difficult to follow. I was living each day in fear what he would do to me.

I was a temporary wife and if my meeting with this individual ruined his business then I don't know how he will make me pay for it. Suddenly door opened and in walked a figure.

"Mam I think you should refrain yourself from going to library for the time Mr. Wilson is back" Robert said.

I nodded my assent to him. He was about to leave when he said "But you can be in the garden in the back so that you can have some fresh air".

I smiled at his suggestion and thanked him. For the first time I saw Robert showing an emotion other than his stoic form.

I relaxed for a while and then ring the bell and in came a maid. "Umm.. can you get me some books from library and my lunch here".

She left and after some time she brought my lunch and books. I thanked her and she left. But when I glanced at the books I groaned. They were some soapy romance novel. I hated them because I knew there was no love and there was nothing like a knight in shinning armor because if we fight we are the hero and if we don't we are the losers.

I then decided I would go to my painting room which was only 6 rooms past my room. But I had to be careful. I stepped out of my room and my heart was racing but somehow I made it my painting room and I started drawing. I was so lost in the picture, in this picture I drew a girl who was happy with nature. I stepped a bit to assess it.

I heard someone clap their hands and I turned to see the same man.

"I must say you are quite artistic. I never knew a woman can be smart with finances and yet do well with art" He said.

I moved to my painting table and closed everything and then washed my hands. I saw him admiring my painting and I wanted to make use of this opportunity to escape.

I was about to hold the knob when he held me by waist in one hand and his other hand one was on my hand which was on door knob.

"Not so fast my love, this time I will leave you only if you tell me your name" He whispered in my neck.

I began to shiver under his warm breath. I didn't knew what to do in this case. I tried wriggling out of his hold but to no avail.

I turned around so I could push him but realized my mistake when his lips touched my cheek. When I realized the gravity of the situation that I was held against my will and I can't even push him back unknowingly a stray tear made its way out of my eye.

"Hey... no need to cry. I was just asking for your name" He wiped the tear from my face. I took this opportunity to push him away and ran out of the room.

"Next time my love I will not be so generous I am telling you I will have you with me" he said.

I looked back at him and found him keeping his hand over his chest on left side "Today you killed me my love" he said while smirking.

I rushed to hallway and made my way towards kitchen because I knew I could not go to my room. Robert was in kitchen. When he saw me he asked "Miss you need anything"  I shook my head in no.

"Then I guess you should be in your room" He said in his formal tone admonishing me.

"I need your help in that" I said to him

He looked at me quizzically. 

"Robert... did you see a girl in here"  a voice shouted after I went and hid myself under kitchen table.

"No sir.. I was busy working in the kitchen and so far I have not seen anyone" he replied confidently.

He walked away from Kitchen and Robert made sure that he was actually gone and then he helped to my room. I sighed in relief.

"Mam I would advise you not to leave your room now" He said.

"I agree" I answered him smiling.

He left smiling.
