Chapter 2 - Bad Start of The Day

Like every other morning, Grace woke Fiona up. Since she is not a morning person, it is difficult for her to wake up early and start her day fresh. But like Fiona's mother or her alarm clock, Grace has been waking her up early from the past one week.

After getting up, she did her usual morning chores and went to the kitchen to help Grace. She didn't like Fiona helping her, but as always she insisted and being a nice person that Grace was, she let Fiona help her.

They both were talking and joking around along when doing their work. Although being in the late 40s Grace is enthusiastic and has a beautiful voice. While cooking, she always sings and Fiona just loves to listen to her voice. She sometimes wonders how Grace becomes a maid. She should be on the X factor and would have easily won that competition. But anyways, Fiona is lucky to have her. If it was not for her then she doesn't know how she would have survived this long in this house.

Bless her!

Grace is a beautiful old woman who has a strong personality. With golden hair and brown shades, hazelnut eyes and smooth skin makes her look younger than her age. Grace is passionate about the things she does. It's very rare or would rather say; once in a blue moon, it happens that she is behind her schedule.

So unlike other days, today Grace ran late, so she asked Fiona to set the plate for Justin.

Justin's name always makes Fiona's heart clench. So she took a deep breath, put the breakfast on the plate and took it to his room. As she was nothing but a stranger to him, she knocked on the door, but there was no answer. She knocked a few more times, but still, there was no reply. So she slowly and hesitantly entered into his room.

This would not be the first time Fiona has stepped into this room. The first time she came to this house, Grace gave her the tour so she knew very well the look of his room. That doesn't mean she can come into his room whenever she likes. Fiona always respects people's privacy. In fact, this is only the second time when she is gracing her presence in his room.

Justin's room is a typical bachelor guy pad. A big bed in the middle with a small study table, few of his clothes lying down on the bed and of course a punching bag hanging in the left corner of his room. But compared to other guys, it's a bit cleaner. For a businessman, he surely is not as organized as Fiona has thought, but as a guy, he definitely likes to keep his room clean. Well, maybe because Grace has been doing it on his behalf. who knows!

When she stepped in, the room was empty and she heard the faint sound of the shower so Fiona figured that Justin might be taking a bath. So Fiona kept the food tray on the table beside his bed.

When Fiona was about to leave, she heard the door creak. So she turned around and saw Justin just standing in his towel and her eyes went wide. Her mouth was wide open so she quickly turned around and closed her eyes with her hand.

"I am so sorry!" she squeaked.

"I can't believe you. After everything you still have nerves of showing up here." Justin growled and took a few steps towards her and when Fiona turned around. Frustration and anger were clearly written on his face.

"Who the hell do you think you are? Barging in my room without my permission?" Justin was furious. After all this, she still had the nerve of showing herself in his room, he thought.

Surprised and frightened by his reaction, Fiona's response came out as a whisper, "I just got you breakfast..."

But soon she was cut short by his sarcastic laugh "food? bullshit! I would never eat what you've got me!" He threw the plate. He didn't mean to do that, but he had no control over his actions. His frustration took the better of him.

The food was all across the floor and the plate was broken into pieces. Fiona immediately left that room without saying a word and went into the guest room. This was becoming a daily routine. This time she didn't cry because that arrogant, angry man was rude to her, but because it was getting too much for her to handle. It was getting out of control.

Is this going to be her life forever?

And the worst part is that she cannot step back from this marriage.

This only led her to think what did she ever do to deserve all this?
