Married To A Powerful Domineering Billionaire

Play Park

RAYNE’S POV

I noticed the entire place quieted down on Eric’s arrival and it confused me.

“Eric?” Mrs. Lawn said with a tone of surprise in her voice.

“Mother.” He replied, walking over to her. “I’m here to pick my wife.”

I felt my stomach flutter, then I glanced over at Elaina and saw her grinning widely at me. I felt my cheeks heat up and I looked away from her.

“But…” Mrs. Lawn started.

“Where’s Grandma?” He asked Mrs. Lawn. The woman pulled him gently by the arm and the rest of their conversation was unknown.

I rubbed my arms calmly. I was more than happy to leave this gathering already, but I could feel someone staring intensely at me. And when I looked in the opposite direction, Bianca’s eyes were boring into me, giving me the creeps. I was slightly taken aback.

Eric returned a while later, and it was time to go. “It’s time to leave, wife.” He told me and I gave him a nod. I picked up my purse and made to get up, but I suddenly felt something next to me. I glanced up at Eric, he was holding out his hand to me. I hesitated a few seconds before taking it.

Everyone had their attention on me, and it made me shy. I felt heat creeping up my entire body and from my side eyes, I could see Elaina and Ann grinning from ear to ear. It made me even more shy.

Eric helped me get out of my seat and once I was up, he wrapped an arm around my waist and I felt my little heart drumming rapidly all the while. I said bye to everyone, especially Mrs. Lawn, not forgetting to glance in Bianca’s direction. She had her eyes narrowed at me and I couldn’t help but wonder what her problem with me was.

“Ma’am.” The chauffeur said as he opened the door for me and I smiled at him and climbed in. Elaina was in the black Chevrolet behind ours.

The air conditioner was turned on and the car was cold. I embraced myself, rubbing my arms gently. Eric was on a call outside, and I subconsciously wondered who he was always on the phone with.

I had my eyes and attention focused on the view outside and in such a position, I found my mind wandering around in different directions.

“I wonder under what circumstances they had married,” I recalled one of the women saying, and for some strange reason, I found myself deliberating on that.

Thinking of everything that had happened since I met Eric, my head trailed into perplexity. We never knew each other before that night when Fred cheated on me. It had only been a one-night stand, so why did he have to show up with the talk about marriage afterwards?

Also, he happened to be from a wealthy family, which meant he could have just any woman, both celebrities and the like if he wanted, but he married me, an ordinary girl with zero background just as the women from earlier had said. What did he want with me?

Deep in my thoughts, I failed to notice him climbing into the car until I heard the car’s engine come alive. I turned around to see Eric sitting next to me, with deep gray eyes fixed on me. I looked away from him.

“How was the tea party, did you have fun?” He asked and I nodded. I didn’t have to tell him that the women there weren’t so nice to me. And besides, Elaina, Ann, and Mrs. Lawn made me smile.

I looked out of the window and noticed we weren’t heading towards the route that led to the house.

“Where are we going?” I asked, curiously glancing up at him, but he just grinned at me. “It’s a surprise.”

I turned my attention back on the road, trying to decipher where we were heading to from the direction the driver was taking. But, in my twelve years of staying in Los Angeles, I didn’t have any idea that a route as such existed.

After about ten minutes of taking various turns, the driver finally pulled into a slightly narrow c curved road, one that looked like it could barely allow a way for any more than one vehicle. Then he drove a bit and then pulled over at the famous play park. I glanced over at Eric and he smiled smally at me.

The driver stepped out and opened my side of the car with a slight bow that made me flinch a bit. I wasn’t used to people bowing to me, so I was kind of taken aback when he did so all of a sudden.

“Thank you,” I said to him with a small smile.

Looking behind our car, I noticed Elaina was yet to get here. I looked around in confusion and just then, Eric walked up to me, offering his hand. “Shall we?”

“Where’s Elaina?” I asked him. It perplexed me that their car was yet to get here. Eric took my hand and started to walk me inside. Then he said with a frown.

“It’s our honeymoon, wife. In honeymoons, there are no relatives, just the husband, and wife.” He said and then pulled me along with him. As we walked along through a gate, I noticed some huge-bodied men in black suits behind us. They had wired radios connected to their ears and were standing in strategic positions. I could tell they were Eric’s bodyguards. I glanced briefly at their faces and I couldn’t help but wonder why all the bodyguards were like that, always wearing long faces. Did they need to frown while doing their jobs?

We walked into the park and I couldn’t help but wonder where we were. I took a glance around, and a welcome board caught my attention. On the board were the words, ‘Welcome to Disney Park.”NôvelDrama.Org content.
