Bride For Rent novel Chapter 8

"Why do I need to wear all these?" Felicity asked with a frown as she stared at the gown and high heels that her aunt brought into her room.

Katherine sighed "again with this Felicity? I thought I told you that your husband to be is coming to see you today."

"But do I need to wear all these before I will meet him?"

"Sweetie, you need to look good and charming for him okay? Now enough of this, he will be here any minute now and I still need to style your hair which God help me, takes a lot of time."

Felicity pouted but she still let Katherine dress her in the beautiful long navy blue gown. She sat on her dressing table and Katherine helped her to brush her honey gold hair in a neat ponytail. The door was opened and Mercy popped out her head "he is here" she said.

"Now upsy daisy" Katherine helped her up after helping her put on her high heels. Felicity legs wobbled and she had to grab Katherine's hand to steady herself "come on my dear, just as we have been practicing. One leg before the other, one, two, one, two..." She chanted in a whisper as they left the room while Mercy ran down the stairs to welcome the guest in.

Mercy smiled and left to get the water. Katherine watched the situation downstairs from the stairs, Felicity was still pouting behind her as she tried to look comfortable in her very uncomfortable dressing. Katherine watched Raymond's back and how he sat like a king in the living room, she never knew a man with his presence will ever visit her home but since it's happening, she just have to go with the flow.

Mercy walked back in carrying two glasses of water in a serving tray, she served them to Morris and Raymond who both took it with a smile and sipped from it. Mercy glanced upstairs and her eyes met Katherine's, there was urgency in her eyes and Katherine knew it was time to go down. She turned to Felicity who was trying to remove her hairband to free her hair, she caught her hand immediately and warned her with her eyes "just a little more time my dear" she whispered "now, let's go meet your husband."
