Chapter 40: Chapter 40

are you okay?" Darren's voice nudged me back to reality, I loomed my eyes and noted that everything was nothing but a terrible nightmare.

"Yes!! I am" I answered trying to watch off the weirdest feeling around me, what those this dream signifies, is Tori's presence going to be of a problem to me?. I have got to phone my aunt and tell her what's going on.

(The hotel)

We got down and ambled into the hotel, Darren booked the double deluxe honeymoon suite, and damn, indeed the room illuminated with beautiful color lights, it can make a Married couple fall in love all over again.

"I will be back". Darren leaves the room after setting up his clothes at the wardrobes, leaving me behind.

And it allowed me to call aunt, now he's not around, so I dialed her number and gazed at the photo frame on the wall.

"Hello, baby!! How are you?" She asked through the phone.  I paused for a while and answered back, "I am not fine, aunt".

"Why?" She asked, that's when I told on everything that happened and the terrible nightmares I have been having for the past two days.

As usual, my aunt, said and I quote, "baby!! Please, pay no attention to it and besides, it shows how stressed you're, so!! Why don't you relax and have fun with Darren at the hotel but not too much fun".

I had no idea, how she found out, I went on a surprise honeymoon package with Darren, well, you can call it, an outing with my fake and contract husband, which of cause no one knew about it, except aunt.

The same day (9:00 pm)

A voice yelled outside the room, I strolled down, pushed the door open but found no one there but a sealed package with my name on it, I picked it up from the ground and went back it, opened up the package and saw it was a beautiful royal blue gown, gifted to me by Darren, underneath the pack was a written note, that reads, "please!! Put this on and come meet me at the hotel's restaurant".

Well, you can say a weak smile Smudge on my face after taking note of his letter.

Immediately, I ran into the washroom and changed into the attire gifted to me by him (Darren)

I swiftly made my way to the restaurant and there he was, waiting for my arrival, he wore a tux of the same color and illuminates everywhere with heart-shaped decorations.

Darren made his way to me and winked, "welcome Mrs. Karol, been waiting for you". He takes me by my hand and sat down next to me on a chair which table was filled up with a three-course meal.

His behavior was strange to me, what has come over him that he showers me with gifts and now a romantic dinner?.

Is this a dream?" Am I hallucinating (contemplating to myself, while he serves me the prepared dish)?

"Spaghetti and meatballs, your highness?" His words regained me back to my senses, "oh wow!! How did you know I liked spaghetti and meatballs?". I asked a question and he shoots me a sly smile.

"Mr. Darren!! Are you feeling okay? You're acting strange?". I asked once more after seeing the look on his face.

He answered back, "I  am fine Karol!!! Can't I make the remaining time left with you, memorable?. After all, we only have 30 days to finally put an end, to this charade we call marriage?.

Question of the day?..

Karol just found out that!! She had 30 days to finally put an end to the contract marriage and get Mr Smith to finally pay for the sins he committed?.
