Bound by Contract

CHAPTER ONE : Don't you dare touch me

Kristin POV

I fiddled with my lipstick before applying it to my lips , the last piece of makeup that would set me up for the day.i had spent minutes in front of my dresser trying to look set. In a month time the fashion meet would commence and the preparation have been time consuming. The past weeks had been stressful,I had to supervise dad's ongoing work for the opening of the new art center while he travelled to Paris on health ground. Worst of all I had to do it with Logan.

I fidgeted as my bedroom door swing open shutting me off my thoughts - it was Logan.

Why can't he let me be

Because he is your husband

I have always kept my door locked most  times to avoid being around him but he looks for ways to override me. I can't stand his guts, always monitoring me as though I'm a napkin wearing cry baby.

"Kristin we've got to get going, I have a board meeting to attend." he said in his thick American accent

"We?"I asked totally ignoring him as I smacked my lips"don't worry about me  the last time I checked I've got a car."

"I insist Kristin. I'lll drop you off."

"I'll drive myself besides you don't have to worry about what I do,"I got up grabbing my purse from my dressing table.

"What the hell Kristin,you can't wear that."he looked at the tight leather gown I had on with disgust

"And why can't I?"

"Isn't it obvious,you are married for fuck sake and also_"

"Can you just stop it already,"I said dismissing him"and point of correction this"I pointed the diamond ring I had on "is an utter failure."
I ensured I spat the word"failure" I hope it rings a bell .

What on Earth are you doing Kristin

"I didn't sign up for any of this," I said admist the tears that threatened to fall"I never wanted to be a Reece,not now not ever. But now that you have me you still wanna butt in my business. Who the fuck are you, captain marvel?"

The moment I realized what I said I looked up to meet his gaze. He was angry but I was furious,he can't keep tabs on me all the time. I'm not a baby neither am I his puppet most importantly I hate the idea of being his wife . I can't keep it in,just this once I need to speak up .I need to tell him how miserable we would be in this marriage, it's only been a month into this marriage but it's been hell on Earth because we aren't compactible - I mean we never will.
The room felt empty, time stood still it felt like forever. We had a stare contest. He broke the silence

"Wow, Kristin am impressed,"he chuckled before folding his arms"it seems like you've got a problem with us ."he gestured from me to himself

"Don't get it twisted Logan,I've got no issue with myself the only problem I see is you"I said firmly

I was fighting really hard to hide my tears

"Are you crying?"

"Quit the act Logan you and I know that you wouldn't care if I was die. " I looked away trying to hide my emotions.

I hadn't even realize that my tears gland gave up on me already. I wouldn't give him that gratification of seeing me cry.

"Let me wipe it off."he held my chin to get a better view

I flinched"Don't you dare touch me, don't you ever pull that move on me. Aren't you satisfied, having messed up my whole life with this contract_"

Shut up Kristin or he'll lose it

"Marriage." I completed 
Logan was furious.he had his arms raised,fingers only an inch away from my face. He was about to slap me.

I closed my eyes to receive the impact of his fingers across my face but nothing came.

Oh this must be it, your dead Kristin

I opened my eyes to find Logan stalking off towards the door.

I scoffed "What,you got bored off me already or are you scared that my dad will terminate the contract."

"That's not a priority."

"Ohh really,"I said stung to anger"then how about if I tell him to do that now,you really wouldn't mind."

"He wouldn't dare Kristin,the point is ,i can't be scared of an old man who prefers to give his daughter out in marriage to save his sorry ass."

"You son of a bitch, that's my father your talking about!"

"Well he's my in-law too."

I stared at him in,utter horror rising in every cell of my body. This couldn't be happening,he couldn't be going there. I know my dad fucked up big time but he wasn't the only one who was to blame. Logan could have rendered help to my dad without requesting for anything but rather he and his father had their own games planned out.

"You've got nerves to come up in here and blame everything on my dad but guess what I think he deserves much better. So it's high time you show him some respect."

He didn't reply until he got to the door "Kristin I can't do this right now,"  he held the door know backing me  "I've got a place to be,we could go over this during dinner tonight,a nagging woman is the least of my problem."  he gave me a quick look.

"Whatever Logan I really don't care."

"Don't forget to change that outfit it's what started the quarrel anyways."he shut the door

I heard him curse in his breath. I let out a long breath I didn't know I was holding.

Even if he is Logan Reece,he can never be the boss of me.
