Marie POV
"Excuse me?" I exclaimed, I was half shocked and confused, I wasn't sure if I heard him correctly.
"Is it a family trait to make me repeat myself?"
Before I could fully grasp what was going on, Mancini took long strides towards me, closing the gap between us within seconds then pinned me to the door, one of his hands pinning both my hands above my head while the other sliding up my thigh.
"This is now your duty as my wife and property." He said, his pupils dilated as he stared into my eye, "I can have sex with you whenever I want and wherever I want and you better not try to refuse." a side of his lips curved upward into a smirk, "Well it doesn't matter if you do, I'll just take you anyway which will just make things more interesting."
He forcefully kissed me then ripped the clothes off my body before dragging me to the bed whilst I begged him to stop.
My pleas went unanswered as he had his way with me, his sky blue eyes staring intensely at me, while I cried and shouted.
"That wasn't too bad but I expect you to be better next time." Mancini said as I stared out the window. We did it two more times before he let me go.
Immediately he was done, he got out of the bed and dressed up.
"Listen here, now that you're under my roof, there's a set of rules you must obey." He heard his footsteps come closer as he spoke.
"Firstly," he grabbed my chin and forcefully brought my face to his, "You must look at me while I talk to you." he pressed a kiss on my lips, this time gentler than before, "Understood?"
At this point, I'm too exhausted emotionally and physically to argue with him. I'm doing this for my family so I should agree with whatever he says for now until I can gather my thoughts properly.
"Yes." I said in response.
"Good girl." He placed another soft kiss on my lips, "I like my ladies like this, soft and obedient. You'll have a good life here if you can become a very good girl."
His eyes twinkled, lips curved up as if he was amused by what's going on, "Second, you must not leave this estate. All my treasure items also stay in doors."
"You're also a treasure of mine," he placed a kiss on my forehead before staring back at me, "So you must always keep yourself for me alone."
"You can only leave with me or you've been given my consent." his hands caressed my cheeks, his breath fanning me as he spoke, the atmosphere was so hot and intense that I couldn't process all he's saying properly so I just nodded in agreement.
"Thirdly, you must not contact anyone outside and that includes your family which reminds me, I've taken the liberty of confiscating your sim."
I nodded.
"Good girl." He repeated then roughly kissed my forehead for a good minute before letting go.
He left the room shortly afterwards and I finally had a moment to myself to breathe and think about everything that had happened over the last two days.
At least that was the plan but I was too exhausted to even care about what I'll eat, I fell asleep without even realizing it.
The next day, I woke up early and decided it was time to think but before long, some maids barged into the room, shouting for me to wake up before our eyes met.
There were (6) six young women around my age that barged in, they were all wearing the maid uniform I noticed the maids were wearing while I was coming to the room.
The one at the forefront had ginger hair and dark brown eyes, she also seems to be the leader of the bunch.
"Good madam, you're awake. Glad the lord didn't marry a total liability." She laughed and the rest joined her in mocking me, "Allow us to introduce ourselves then you'll can go take a shower," She continued after she was able to calm down from her laughter.
These maids, even though I'm now legally married to their boss and actually now their superior, they still decide to treat me this way.
I don't think they're fools, they must be sure Mancini wouldn't care or he ordered them to treat me this way and I hope that's not true.
I Ignored them as they began introducing themselves and went straight to the bathroom to shower.
While undressing, I noticed that there weren't any towels in the bathroom. I checked all the cabinets and drawers but found nothing, not even a robe.
I wanted to avoid asking for things from the maids but I had no other choice here. I walked out the bathroom and found them changing the duvet and repairing to clean the room.
"Where's all the towels?" I asked, expecting to be rudely replied but I wasn't expecting them to blatantly ignore me like I wasn't even in the room. I asked again and the same thing happened.
Is this even acceptance? Should I also endure this? If I cause any problem, it'll affect my family and I have to protect them.
I decided trying to talk to one of them would be a better solution so I walked to the one closest to me which is the red haired one and asked her where the towels are. She ignored me as well until I was in her way.
"Ma'am," she said mockingly, "Please respect us and let us do our job, this is workplace bullying. First you don't even want to know our names then you address us like we were animals, what kind of mistreatment is this? Is this how your father raised you?"
"Truly, women raised by men alone never turn out right." Another maid added and they all laughed and continued ignoring me.
My hands trembled at my side, I went back into the bathroom and let the water from the shower cool me down.
Since there's no towel, I decided to let the water dry on my body but suddenly the door opened and a maid walked in. She had green eyes and dirty blond hair, she handed me a towel and left quietly.
I noticed that she was the only one in the group who had been quiet the whole time, neither insulting nor standing up for me, just there, watching everything.
I observed her behavior and the rest of the days for the following days and noted that if I could win Eliza, the quiet maid, it'll be beneficial for me.
I also toured around the estate in the disguise of trying to familiarize myself with the place while taking a mental note of the layout and best routes to escape will be.
