Sat in that chair before my eyes was a very old man. His face was timeworn and wrinkled. His hair was starting to turn grey just like the color of his eyes and he had this intimidating stares.
'You sign here.'
What?
His voice was very business-like that had to be answered with 'sir'. I might know nothing about him but one thing I knew for sure was this man was delusional if he thought I would sign those papers.
'Do it' He said sternly
Silence. That was all I gave him. Is he high or what? Did he really think that I would do as h-
'NOW!' He yelled.
Okay, he kinda scared me now. I didn't want to end my life this way especially not in his hand. This was my life or death situation so I would have to do something that involved me using my brain if I still valued my life.
'Nah, who are you to tell me what to do, old man. I'm afraid that you're going to have to find another girl who wants a pedo like you.' I said while running to the door, desperately trying to open it.
They locked it. I’m freaking dead now. I looked at him, he was about to make a call. Don’t tell me that he was going to call his men to shoot me then dumped my body somewhere in a roadside ditch so that people couldn't find me.
I knew it, I should have lunged at him and showed him my nice, painful moves that I learned from action movies. Suddenly, the door burst open and Bob walked in, abruptly held my elbow and led me to where the old man was sitting. His grip was really tight, adding more pressure then it could snap off my hand for sure.
'Now, sign here before I do anything to you or you important family.' He said, sliding the paper to me.
No time to talk about his English now. The more important thing was what should I do right freaking now? I looked up to see all the stares they gave me. I swear, I didn't know what I was supposed to do.
'I have no all day, just sign.' I still didn't move an inch so he got up, pulled me by the arm and solved a pen in my hand.
'Sign' He almost yelled, poking hard at the paper that I had no idea what was written on it.
My hand started to tremble. What was his motive? Why did he do this to me? God, I wasn’t even that smart or beautiful. I’d never do anything to attract too much attention. I didn’t have many friends. I was average, nothing special about me. So, why me?
'Just sign the goddamn paper' He yelled.
So, he could speak perfect English if he wanted to?
He poked hard at the bottom right of the paper, guess that was where I should sign because I didn't understand a single thing. What if it said that I would to be his slave or become his pet? but he didn't give me a choice. I couldn't do anything but sign the paper with a heavy heart.
I signed the paper and another couple of pages. Then another man in the black suit came in.
'Свидетель этого, Лёв' (Witness it, Lyov) He ordered the man who just came in and he signed as well.
What the actual heck was going on here? I was forced to marry this old man against my will and the man named Lyov turned out to be not so lovely after all, I suggested you to change your name mister because if you did have feelings then you wouldn’t let him do this to me.
My life had gotten worse now that I was married to this old man.
