EMMA'S POV

I opened my eyes in response to the sunshine coming thru the one of the windows of my room. Immediately realized I over slept by looking at the time in my phone, in a second I was out of the bed and into the shower and fifteen minutes later I had my waitress uniform on, I had to get to work in forty five minutes and since I don't know the buses routes in this area I will probably wouldn't make it on time. I went down the stairs and was just about to reach the door handle when a strong voice made me stop.

"Where do you think you're going?"

I realized it was Adam's voice and followed the sound to find him siting in the living room with a coffee in one hand and the newspaper in the other, his gaze still fixed on the newspaper. I'm so done with his man and his arrogance, fist yesterday and now this, if he thinks he can treat me like one of his employees he's so wrong.

"Where do I look like I'm going?" I mean, considering I was wearing my waitress uniform.

He finally lifted his eyes from the news paper, and walked over to me, now standing only inches away from each other. I could smell his intoxicating aroma, his hair was wet probably the result of a recent shower, brushed all the way back, looking so soft, I found myself struggling with the need to touch it.

"Care to tell?"

"I'm going to work, Adam."

"No you're not, I don't think you have a job."

"Yes I do, that's where you first saw me."

"I know where we first met, I'm just saying you don't work there anymore."

"If you're asking me to quit my job let me t..- I stopped as Adam interrupted.

"I'm not asking you to quit your job because I did for you. I thought you would be thrilled, after all isn't this why you married me isn't it?"

"No Adam I didn't marry you for that, stop offending me I'm not like that. Why would you do this, quit me from my job without even asking me."

"Let me put this very clear to you, because it looks like you're not fully understanding. I paid for you to be my wife, meaning as my wife you'll do what I say because I paid for it. You literally sold yourself to me, so now you're mine. Here take your check." He tossed the check to my face, by now I was making the biggest effort to not cry in front of him, but he wasn't over, he continued. "What were you expecting? This is what gold diggers like you get, money has a price and now you're paying yours.... Enjoy your money, wife." He made emphasis on the word 'wife' and walked away, leaving me in the big living room speechless and watery eyed. I didn't move for probably twenty seconds, I never expected this.

"Good morning Mrs. Emma."

I heard Martha's joyful voice as I entered the ridiculously big kitchen of my new home.

"Good morning to you too Martha."

"Are you hungry? Is there anything in specific you will like to eat this morning?"

"No worries I'm not hungry, I'll just make myself some coffee." In fact I was hungry when I woke up, but lost my appetite after my encounter with Adam minutes ago.

"Absolutely not, I'm here to serve you I'll make your coffee."

I rolled my eyes with a genuine smile, I knew I was at loss in this argument.

I was almost done with my coffee when Adam stormed into to the kitchen, he looked at me for a few seconds clenching his jaw, I could tell he was just looking for some excuse to insult the hell out of me, and it looked like as always he succeeded when he barked .

"My study, now."

I followed him, making sure to not get lost because besides this house was huge I had no idea where his office was. I found him siting on his desk once I entered, books surrounded all four walls around us, surprisingly making him look more powerful and intimidating, and me of course, smaller than ever.

"Few things I need to discuss with you. First, in case you didn't know, I have a daughter therefore your behavior should be nothing but at its best when she's around, please don't let her see the whore you really are, that's all I ask."

What, he had a daughter ? How old was she? What was her name? I looked into Adam's hateful eyes and decided  it will be better if Martha was the person answering those questions.

"Second..." he continued "I have a cocktail party I need to attend tomorrow evening, unfortunately as my wife I have to drag you in with me, here take this card and get yourself some decent clothing."

He extended his hand with a card in it for me to grab, he looked into my eyes confused as not a single muscle of my body moved to receive it.

"Thank you Adam but I don't need you to buy me anything, I have my own clothes."

Adam's laughter filled the entire room I wondered if even the gardener could hear it from the outside because of how loud it was. Something I knew for sure, this laughter was forced and it had one purpose: humiliate me even more.

"You have got to be trying to pull off some stupid joke, aren't you?"

I didn't say a word, I didn't even blink as a way to reassure him that I was being serious. He took the message perfectly as his reply demonstrated.

"Oh for goodness sake, those rags you brought and call clothes should be anywhere but in the garbage. Don't you realize how pathetic you are, I mean look at you?."

"First you call me gold digger, and then you give me a card to go shopping, I don't understand." I said in a sassy tone and crossing my arms across my chest. Which I regretted a second later when I saw Adam getting up from his chair and walking over to me, with a smirk on his face and the look of a lion going after his prey. He was so close that I could not only smell his lovely masculine scent but his minty breath brushing my neck sending electricity through my entire body.

"Emma don't make a foul of yourself, I know who you really are, stop pretending and take the card I have no time for your stupid wining."

I was so nervous by his proximity that my brain went into a complete shut down, all I was able to do is grab the card from his hand and walk away. But of course, he had more to say.

"Ohh ..... And before you go, be very careful with what you buy and wear to that event, I don't want people realizing the tramp that you really are, and please do your best to act like a lady, I know is challenging for some people to act a certain way but you better not embarrass me."

"Hi, I'm so happy you're here!!"

A sweet little voice yelled from the main door now open, I tuned around to see who it was and laid my eyes on the most beautiful little girl I've ever seen.
