CHAPTER 2
*Heart Broken*💔

*Interlude*

She felt a drop of water on her face as she opened her eyes slowly, feeling pains at her lower abdomen. She tired to get up but couldn’t…
”where is my child? “ she asked looking around perplexed, lying down on the road… “how did I get here?” She asked again without no answers. She struggled and sat up, took a clear look of the environment, became moody and hurt immediately.
“It was actually a dream…” she murmured. Last she could remember was how she was raped by that demon Peter.
“Kourtney……you are finished” she cried out in pains. “How could he do this to me and even have the mind to throw me out on the road”.
She became so heart broken and wondered why the guy she loved for 3 solid years hurt her so much. She kept on crying as she became weaker “I hate you Peter!!! I would get my revenge!!!” She kept saying.
Everywhere was dark already and it started to rain, she tried to walk with her weak body but she couldn’t.
Suddenly a light flashed from the other end of the road, joy filled her heart that someone is coming to help her. At the same time, she felt pains all over her body, dizzy and slumped.
*** *** *** *** *** **** ***
The day was bright and sunny, feeling of warmt all over her body as she opened her eyes slowly. Everything was blur and her head was spinning. “ where am I?” She asked, looking around, taking account of everything in the room. "I've not been in this place before", She thought to herself.
The long blue curtains, the ornaments and the comfy king seized bed was enough for her to tell that she isn’t in her house but a stranger’s home who is obviously wealthy. The door opened and an elderly lady walked in dressed in like a classical maid attair.
“hello dear, I'm Mrs Anita, the head of maids and also your personal maid” she said smiling towards Kourtney who on the other hand became confused.
“oh… don’t worry dear, the boss will be back soon” Mrs Anita added “who… who your boss? Where is this place? How did I get here?” Kourtney asked in a worried tone
“Not too worry dear, you will get all the answers you need when he comes back. He only told me that you are his would be wife” Mrs Anita said with happiness. Kourtney heart sank upon hearing this, never knew that everything would play out fast..
Her father only said that she would be getting married and it’s very compulsory, never knew that it would happen so quick.
“Bu…. But I don’t know him, who is he?” Kourtney asked curiously. “madam he said he will clarify you when he gets back. Please take your bath and come downstairs for lunch” Mrs Anita replied and left with a confused look. “You are getting married to someone you don’t know…” Mrs Anita thought.
“Nooooo, I have to talk to my dad...ouch…have been missing for a day now and right now I'm an unknown man’s home” Kourtney complained bitterly under whispers.
She stood up and walked over to the bathroom which is approximately the same size of the rooms in her father's house. Spacious bathroom with expensive materials, huge windows with a wonderful view, the walls are marble.
“Damn! This man must be very wealthy” She said jumping into the suken tub and took her bath. She came out from the bathroom after a while.
“I don’t have any cloths” she murmured as walking towards the magnificent ward rope to see if there is something to put on.
As the wardrobe was opened, she became surprised because it was filled with variety of expensive cloths, shoes, jewelries, bags and other female stuffs. They are all her size. She picked a pair of jeans and a top, then headed to leave the room.
As Kourtney opened the door, she became astonished to the extent that she left her mouth opened unknowingly “this is a mansion not a house” saying with her eyes surveying everywhere.
The mansion have huge windows with large royal curtains and a balcony in a circle form. Kourtney stood at the hallway and looked down to the living room which is so magnificent. The paintings, ornaments and art works is really captivating and it drew her attention.
Towards the left is were the huge stair case was located and she walked down. The living room is built and decorated like that of a king’s palace.
The dinning was at the right side of the living room. Mrs Anita saw how she was amused and smiled
“Boss is really a hard working man” she said gesturing towards Kourtney to come and have lunch.
Kourtney quickly sat down because haven’t eaten anything since yesterday. She perceived the aroma of the food and her mouth became watery “it looks nice” she said as Mrs Anita served jellof rice, chicken and salad served in a smaller plate. She poured wine in the glass cup for her and left a bottle of water as well.

“Do you need anything else?” Mrs Anita asked. Kourtney beamed at her, "what else do I need when everything is here" she thought.
“ am ok.. Thank you” she replied. Kourtney quickly feasted on the food, she was so fermished. While eating, she heard some voices and became curious.
“How many people live here?” she asked “we are seven in number including you, ma'am” Mrs Anita replied.
Kourtney nodded as the chief maid left her to eat.
Kourtney was eating, shaking her head wondering what fate has in-store for her. She had forgotten about God who she do run to when ever she is in critical need of his attention or when she would want to gratefully thank Him his wonderful works.
“Ever since I started dating Peter, I have totally backslided from going to church and even praying. Oh….gosh! I was really blinded with love that I forgot that Jesus Christ is the greatest love to mankind” Kourtney said in her mind with tears rolling down.
Her parents brought up the family in a biblical manner but she neglected that part She couldn’t go on eating the food.
“Maybe this is God’s own way of punishing me”she murmured, using the napkin to clear her nose.
She couldn’t deny the fact that her heart is broken. “madam please finish up your lunch. Boss called and he said he is on his what back” Mrs Anita said while patting her shoulders.
Kourtney became worried and scared at the same time, quickly finished up her meal and went to sit on the couch waiting patiently for the mystery man.
In what seemed like twenty minutes later, the door flung open and a man walked in… “could this be him” Kourtney asked in her mind. She stood up and looked towards the door staring at the man.
“So handsome” she murmured out. What captured her attention is light brown eyes. His height too is enchanting and his body build is perfect.
He cleared his throat to get her mind back. Kourtney on the other hand came back to her senses as she lowered her head feeling shy.
“I'm Dewi” he said as he sat down wearing a strict look but still very handsome. Mr Dewi is known for his wealth and sense of pride. One could tag him an influential person.
“Kourtney” she replied as she sat down noticing that there is another man behind him standing with files on his hand.
“How are you feeling now?” He asked with a sharp look “I'm fine, thank you for your help and hospitality” Kourtney replied with gratitude.
He isn’t only handsome but have a good taste in dressing, she noticed. Kourtney looked at the suit he was putting on and how it fits him perfectly.
“This is Mark, my personal assistant” Mr Dewi introduced the man standing behind him to her as he gestured for him to give him the files. Kourtney nodded feeling weird.
“Miss Kourtney, this is the documents containing the agreement your Dad signed with Mr Dewi. Please go through it and if you are satisfied with it, you can put your signature at the end but if you aren’t , I would explain further” Mark explained professionally while adjusting his tie.
Kourtney heart started racing, she didn’t understand why there is need for all this formalities. But she couldn’t say anything. She took a deep breath and picked up the documents to go through them.
