Sandra hurriedly covered Kathy's mouth and looked up in the direction of Maria being that she's afraid that Maria would repent of her action.
Maria actually heard what Kathy said, she then laughed bitterly. What Kathy didn't know is that she didn't even have the boyfriend anymore. Two days ago, she and the guy whom she had trusted with all her heart and had thought despite her having a child had loved her with the whole of his heart with another woman. She who had been in love with him for six years and was willing to give her all to him. But now it's not possible anymore. It's not that she really wished to do what she did but she knew no matter how she tried this is all coming back to her. All she just avoided was a waste of time and pleading. She zeroed her mind that this was her payment for the debt the owed the Flair family. Whomever she married doesn't mean. It's just a different person and place.
*******
Three days later, Maria was taken to the Mccarthy family. She didn't even have a proper marriage like the rest would. She wasn't angry at this knowing the kind of man she agreed to marry.
The other party did not directly obtain a license from her, but asked her to live in the Villa of the McCarthy Family first, and then make a decision. If she would stay or not. It was after her decision that their real marriage certificate will be signed.
Not even one of the ladies who volunteered to marry the burnt old man were able to stay. When they see him they run for their lives. That's why it was said that he almost killed them. It was rumor that said they died.
Jacob only word to Maria was that she must please the third son of the McCarthy Family. Being that he is the sole owner of the McCarthy empire. He is the only one that can order them to have investment in his company. Maria then promised to stay and please him.
Maria didn't see her husband but then she was directed to her room. She sat quietly in the bedroom, waiting patiently for the man to come. She was having over a thousand thought about how the man's appearance would be. She knew she had to endure everything that he would do to her.
"Snap!"
At that sound, the entire villa instantly went dark and the power went out. Maria's body trembled instinctively. She's afraid of the dark.
After that night five years ago, she no longer dared to face the darkness alone, and even when she slept, she had to turn on a small night light at the edge of the bed to feel at ease.
Now, in this strange environment, she was already a little frightened, and the power was blackout again!
The woman subconsciously hugged her knees, shivering in the darkness. She was trying so hard not to cry. She was too frightened, she didn't even notice that the door to the room was opened. She already closed her eyes hoping for the worse.
Then in the darkness, something rubbed her feet and covered her hands. Something sticky and cold rubbed on Maria's hand. Maria's face suddenly went pale, and the blood on her body seemed to coagulate.
She didn't want to scream but the thing kept moving on her body, then a scream escaped her throat. Her body jerked back. Her back landing on the soft bed. If not that she hasn't climbed the bed fully before the light was out, she would have definitely hit her head on the bedframe and that would surely be painful.
She began to think what could be that would touch her like that. At first she thought if they have a snake as a pet in the house. She hated snakes but feeling the roughness of the thing, she knew it wasn't a snake. She couldn't help but to wonder what it was.
In the darkness, the unknown creature crawled towards her again and she begin to cry.
"Please don't kill me" she pleaded.
A hoarse and rough voice like a broken wooden door opening sounded, "Wife, my wife... It's I your husband..."
" Huh" Maria couldn't help but to say.
Then pop, the sound of lights coming up came and suddenly the dark room was all lightened up in an instant.
Maria, finally saw clearly, the thing that touched her. A man with a terrible face and the man was her husband. To Maria, this can't be called a person. He was looking shrew, like a dwarf, and even his hands and feet were black, and he couldn't distinguish his joints. The man, wrapped in a bathrobe, was lying on the edge of the bed, looking at her with those black hole eyes.
And that face of his...
It can no longer be called a "face", his face is crisscrossed with various scars, and his facial features are distorted, like a demon crawling out of hell. Maria couldn't help but get scared.
"Ah!!!!"
Even though Maria had prepared herself mentally for this before, she still instinctively screamed out loud when she looked at this inhuman and ghostly thing in front of her! Even the demons she sees on TV are more better than this monster right in front of her.
The man laughed hesitantly, "Wife, what is your name, are you afraid of me?"
He just asked a stupid question. He could see her trembling so hard and he dares to ask if she's afraid.
"But you promised to marry me".
Maria is going crazy with fear. She knew she promised toarry him but she didn't promise to marry a monster. She has this feeling that he could be a blood sucker. If she stays he would suck her blood.
She crawled out of bed in a panic, trembling and running outside, not daring to look back at the man again. Poor Maria panicked, and didn't even notice that her leg hit the flowerpot in the corridor and bled out.
"Hahahahahahahahaha"
Watching Maria's figure disappear into the corridor, the man on the bed climbed down from inside the bathrobe, took off his gloves and mask, and it revealed a white and cute little bun faced boy.
"If you want to be my mommy, there is no door!" ”
He got out of bed and ran excitedly to the little study.
"Brother, I scared one more!" He said laughing.
In the little study, another little boy who looked exactly like him sat down under the lamp with his head bowed. He was reading a book.
"Oh. ”
Liam was not happy with what his twin brother did and sat down on the small chair looking at him gloomily.
"Can you at least care more about Daddy. He obviously avoiding contacts with women and you know Grandpa has to go through the stress of arranging a fiancée for him and this is the third."
The little boy raised his eyebrows faintly, and the small face that's not more than a palm was looking like a mature one. His actions doesn't match his age at all.
"Hmm" he said. "Well I'm also watching about for daddy. I don't want a bad woman who wouldn't be able to take care of him to come here" Lexy said nonchalantly.
Liam couldn't say anything. He just looked at his brother.
The twins were with a super high IQ. They are always cold to people, and their words were like gold, and like their Daddy, they are stuffy gourds but one is quite understanding and accomodating than another. They might have many similarities but Liam is more calm than Lexy.
Lexy flattened his lips, and then ran to the large study on the third floor, and pushed the door in with a small body, "Mr Xavier McCarthy, your third fiancée is not very good" he mocked.
