Chapter 33: He Has A Son

I looked at Anastasia from head to toe and asked. "Don't you think that is shameless?"

Her expression changed and she became weary of her surrounding. She covered her exposed moulds and spoke incoherently. "That...that is none of your business."

I smiled innocently at her and stood up from my bed then walked to the bookshelf allowing my back to face them. "Well, it becomes my business the minute you walked into my room dressed like that."

She furrowed her brow and wanted to say something but I beat her to it. "I am sure that Gerard would not like his woman walking around the house dressed like that. That's if you truly are his wife." my expression was calm and my voice was gentle.

"What do you mean by if she is truly his wife? Are you daft? Anastasia already has a son with Gerard." the granny spoke with her bold voice.

I paused in my actions and felt somewhat betrayed but didn't know why. I soon recovered from this momentary shock and turned to face them with a bright smile.

"Well Anastasia, do what you want to do but do not involve me. I am not the father of your son neither am I begging to be a second wife. Work hard to gain his love and I'll be here waiting to see you succeed." I smiled slightly and I knew that this smile for mine was making them furious but that was the least of my problems right now.

Furiously, Anastasia stormed out of the room and the old granny followed behind her after shaking her head at me.

Immediately I heard the door close, I slumped on the bed. All the restraint I had was gone and right now, I felt empty.

Gerard was not only a husband but a father as well. What was I thinking when I decided to play along with this crazy show? Why am I even here? Why was I brought here when he knew he was already married to someone else.

This isn't the seventies where men can just keep a woman as a mistress legally. This is a modern era where women had the right to choose what they wanted.

'How could I have been so stupid as to fight with a married woman who has a son for her husband. Am I crazy?' I couldn't help but wonder what had gotten into me for me to have stooped so low as to argue over someone married.

I lay on my bed for what felt like hours and didn't know exactly what I was feeling. Soon, a knock came from my door but I was just not in the mood to give a response.

The cracking of the door was heard and the door opened. "Maam? Are you alright?" Lucy asked with worry evident in her tone and her face.

I just lay there and hugged my pillow. The feelings were just absurd and I didn't know why I was getting affected by the fact that he was already married with a son. Am I not supposed to be happy about it?

Lucy realized that something was wrong and felt sad for me. His voice was very gentle and she sat on a stool in front of me and placed her hand on my shoulder.

"Is it about those two? I can tell this to the master when he comes back." she insisted just so I could feel better but I didn't say anything and just stared at a space.

She knew I wanted to be left alone and excused herself saying that she wanted to go and get me some juice.

I heard the door open and close and I sighed. I turned around with my back facing the door.

The sun was setting fast and I just couldn't get my mind off the fact that Gerard has a child.

I heard the door open and close again and gentle footsteps. I guessed this was Lucy again with the juice but in all honesty, I am not in the mood to take any juice.

"Just take it back, Lucy. I don't want it." instead of returning it, the juice was dropped on the table.

I felt the side of the bed sink and his soft hand touched my waist. It was then that I knew that it was Gerard but instead of moving away, I stayed there and simply took his hand off my waist.

"Ayla... I heard what happened. I promise, I and Anastasia have nothing together. This is all Granny's arrangements. We aren't married."

I didn't know why Gerard was trying to explain this time. It is not like I have any power to punish him so why does he even feel the need to explain?

I said nothing and kept quiet with my eyes shut. I desperately wanted to just sleep. I didn't want to hear his voice, I didn't want to perceive his scent and most of all, I didn't want to feel his touch.

It is already terrible that I have a strange feeling whenever he is around me and what scares me is the fact that these strange feelings were unexplainable and more like the books I read.

It has just been two months since I came to this place as Gerard's wife. It would be crazy to say that my feelings are love because love doesn't just happen like that. And for all I know, this man has me in prison here. So I can never be in love with someone who is keeping me against my will.

Noticing that I didn't want to say anything, Gerard sighed and walked out of the room. When I was sure that he was out of the room, I opened my eyes and stood up from the bed.

I tied my hair in a bun and walked to my walk-in closet. Inside the closet was another door. I noticed this secret room a few weeks after I came to this place.

The room was a training room that had weapons of all sorts. Bow and arrows, swords, guns of different types and targets. I smiled when I walked to the gun. Bow and arrows have never been my thing and certainly not swords. I loved guns because of their speed and now, I can get to use them the way I wanted.

Back at Salem, I was the innocent you g girl who was white as snow little did they know that I was two-faced.
