Chapter 3 Beg him

At the Mount Villa, the screams of a lady pleading a man could be heard as she was being dragged into the house.

“Dad please don’t do this to me” Selene begged but Leo wouldn’t listen to her.

“Who could that be at this time of the night?” A young slender woman stepped out of her room furious to know what the whole commotion was about.

“Leo what the hell do you think you are doing?” She screamed at the top of her lungs.

Leo dragged Selene until she got to Dante’s feet right in front of his family.

“Beg him” he ordered her but Selene just knelt in front of him without uttering a word.

“I said beg him” Leo slapped her in front of the whole family.

Selene felt so ashamed that she kept her head down, she couldn’t hold back her tears once again nor could she withstand the humiliation.

why was all these happening to her, why did she have to face such shame.

She was the one who was wronged, she was the one who got rejected and yet she was asked to beg him.

She looked up to Dante and he had a smug look on his face holding a cup of coffee in his hand.

Not a look of regret was in his eyes as he stared at her, Selene began to question herself if he was always like that or she was too blinded by love to notice it.

“I said plead” Leo grabbed her by the hair and she cried out.

“Dante please”

“No” before Selene could complete her sentence he had rejected her again.

She looked at him with puffy eyes filled with tears,

“What did I ever do to you?” She asked him.

“I can’t marry a whore like you” He lashed out on her and she felt hurt.

She had know no other man expect him and he would dare to call her a whore.

“Dante, you are the only man I have ever been with” she pleaded with him.

Dante was her life and everything, she never had time to look at other men because she was madly in love with him.

“Tell that to the men you have slept with” he replied her.

In the midst of the commotion, a tall young man strolled into the house not caring if it was late in the night, he walked past it all about to enter his room when he was stopped.

“Where have you been young man?” Shedrach asked him.

He turned and pulled the hoodie covering his face down, his dark brown hair was a bit damp, he had blue eyes and a chisel jaw with succulent lips.

“What do you care?” Matteo rudely replied him.

“I am sick and tired of having you walk into this house anytime you like, did you bother to check the time?” Shedrach yelled at him again.

“You can’t do anything about it” Matteo challenged him not caring about what was going on.

“Oh yes I can.

From now hence forth, you are married to this young lady over here” Shedrach said pointing at Selene.

The whole family was shocked about such verdict but Matteo was more puzzled by it.

“No, you cannot do this” he reverted.

“I have done it and that is final” Shedrach stated.

He was tired of the callous lifestyle his son was living, not once had Matteo acted like he was responsible like his elder brother Dante. He was a complete humiliation to the family and what better way to restrain him than to give him a wife.

“Take her things to his room” Shedrach ordered the maids as they packed Selene’s things.

“That’s a much better choice” Leo said.

“Dad, why are you doing this to me?” Selene pleaded with her father, he was supposed to be her support, he was supposed to stand by her side but instead he believed what others had said about her.

“Don’t you ever come back to my house, you are no longer a part of our family.

You are hereby disowned today, if I see you anywhere near the house then you will hate what I will do to you” Leo warned and walked out of there without looking back or giving his daughter a final glance.

“No, I don’t want to get married to him” Selene said and ran out of the house crying.

She rushed to Leo’s car and begged him to take her back but he wouldn’t listen to her.

“Dad please listen to me, I am innocent.

I never cheated on him” she pleaded with her father to listen to her but he shook his head and drove out.

Selene chased after him until she was out of the Mount Villa, she kept walking down the street not bothered about the darkness.

The void she felt in her heart was bigger than her fear of the night, she just watched her life take an upside turn, from being the most talked about woman for dating the son of the richest man in Athens, she had turned into a laughing stock in just one day.

Why?

All because she proposed to her boyfriend, he called her cheap and claimed she slept with other men.

Selene walked around with no sense of direction until the moon was lost in the sky giving way to a bright atmosphere.

She never wanted to go back to the Mount Villa, she couldn’t face another amount of humiliation, much worse she was now betrothed to the brother of her boyfriend.

What would the world say about her, how would they address her. She could already guess that they would call her a cheap slut, claiming she wasn’t able to keep her man so she went ahead for his brother.
