Chapter Two..
The drive to the Mathew Sanchez mansion was long and dreadful, Emily sat close to Mathew his cologne filled her nostrils.
His eyes were not on her but on the rode she wondered if it would have being the opposite if Gemini was the one sitting close to him.
"Take a left turn!." He ordered the driver who quickly obeyed, Emily blinked rapidly they had just driven past the mansion where was he taking them.
Emily gazed at him her eyes filled with questions but she dared not say a word.
The car drove past a lonely route and ended before a large mansion, the drums started immediately we arrived.
"These people have not seen my bride before only heard of her– you don't want my mother to hate you too.
So we have to put on an act." Mathew spoke while gazing intensely into Emily's eyes.
For the first time in three months she felt heat in within her ribs, the same feeling she once had when she met him for the first time.
"What act?." She asked her eyes still locked on he's. Could he feel it two, or was she the only crazy one here.
"Like we're madly in love." And with that being said he stepped out of the car and went to open the door for her.
Emily's eyes widened. She scanned the environment everything was just like she had thought.
Men with guns outside the gate she wondered how many more would be in the building.
The door by her side opened snapping her out of her thoughts and she stepped down taking her hands in his.
"Hey!." The men cheered as there boss came foward with Emily's hands still clutching tightly in he's.
The gate opened and they walked in leaving the car outside which made Emily confused.
"Don't think too much or you might hurt your head." Mathew whispered.
He lifted his hands ordering the drummers to stop.
Mathew's mother came foward with a cigarette in her mouth, she smirked puffing the smoke all over Emily.
"She's beautiful." She turned to Mathew her son..
"Did you think you could hide the truth from me, I have spy's every where what you couldn't do for the past one hour I've done in minutes at my age."
Emily stared at Mathew's eyes, his eyes were also filled with similar confusion.
Mathew's mother snapped her fingers and her men brought forth a lady covered with a thick bag..
For a minute Emily's heart trembled, who was that, and what did they plan to do with her.
"This, is a wedding gift for you dear." The men took off the lady's covering revealing Gemini's features.
Mathew restrained Emily from taking a step forward his hands covered her mouth and the only sound she could make were like that of a rat.
"She's here now dear, there's no need to feel trapped with the other woman." Mathew's mother Naomi sneered, it was clear she was not fond of Emily.
************************
Meanwhile, in Maya's home ( Emily's mother).
Xane sat on the bed his eyes widened in disbelief as he panted quietly stealing hateful glances towards Eve Mathew's sister.
This was not how he planned his wedding night or wedding to be, but with guards now stationed outside and every inch of there home he had no option but to treat her like the princess she is.
"Listen!." Eve placed her palm on Xane's who wriggled free from it.
"This isnt what I wanted, I'm nothing like my brother."
Xane glared at Eve and suddenly a thought popped in his head.
"Then tell your brother to get rid of the guards around this house, the people would think we've gotten rich or something and that will attract thieves."
Eve thought it through though she had a perfect reply for him she would rather stay silent and call her brother later.

Back to Mathew Sanchez..
******
"This was not necessary mom." Mathew scolded his mother..
"I had everything under control." He tightened his grip on Emily's arm hurting her in the process.
His mother stared at him in disbelief her eyes oscillating between Emily and Mathew.
"She was your daily obsession and this girl here goodness, I'm sure this was all her plan you should get rid of her now that I have done you a favor by bringing Gemini back to you."
Mathew's mother pressed on.
Mathew stared at his mother sizing her up, she had not changed one bit, he was not afraid of going against her she could not fight against her 5ft height, slender body was against her.
But still he would not disrespect her before the guards.
"So what do you want from me?." Mathew asked.
"Marry her, you do realize that she is pregnant with your child." Mathew's mother emphasized.
Mathew stared at Gemini his eyes darting from her head to her belly.
He looked at Emily, one could be his lawful wife and the other his mistress.
"From today you are my mistress." Mathew said to Gemini, his voice laced with bitterness his mother was partially satisfied.
Mathew took Emily by the hand and into there bedroom.
Mathew's head was filled with many unanswered questions for his mother, he threw Emily into the bedroom and shut the door.
"Hey you can't do this to me, let me go." Emily screamed and slid to the floor sobbing weakly.
Mathew stormed to the living room where his mother sat with her legs crossed, he stared at Gemini who sat beside her.
Holding her by the throat he lifted her up her legs dangled in the air.
His mother stood up trying to get him off her.
"You traitor you deserve to die." Mathew held on to her throat Geminies eyes were filled with tears, her face red.
"You're going to commit murder, do you really want to kill your unborn child even before he steps into the world." His mother tried to reason with him.
Mathew's grip weakened and he dropped her roughly on the white sofa.
"How did you find her so easily." He questioned his mother with blazing eyes.
