.Naomi ambled down the road, holding tightly onto her mothers shawl; it was the only thing that she had to keep the cold away. By now the fog had subsided and the sun had risen. "Naomi?" Naomi turned her head and came face to face with mama Ekaterina. Her eyes were wide as they landed on Naomi "What are you dressed in? Do you want all the men to look at your legs for free." Mama Ekaterina wrapped a material around Naomi's waist, "How did your mother allow you walk out of the house dressed like this? You look like a prostitute. You would never get a husband of you keep on like this" In the background the man with the gun grumbled and mama Ekaterina placed her attention on him "Naomi. Who is this big man?" 84Please respect copyright.PENANAjRmVKAAdvK

"He-hes nobody. You don't have to worry about him"
"Why is he following you. Is he harrassing you"
"Ms I advice you step away. This is none of your concern"
"Do I look like a Ms to you. I am Mrs Ekaterina Vladimir morozov, I am not a Ms. Your mother did not teach you respect. How dare you chase this young girl around"
"Mama Ekaterina, it's fine really. His not bothering me"
"My lady I advice you stay away"
"Who is your lady?!" Mama Ekaterina placed her hands on her waist "You disrespectful bloated rat. How dare you. Do you see my breasts. They have fed many children. My children are much older than you are. Who are your parents? I need to see them, the obviously haven't taught you well"
"Mama Ekaterina. Please it's ok"
She shook her head in defiance "No!" She exclaimed "We need to teach this man a lesson. How dare he. Come with me Naomi" Mama Ekaterina gripped Naomi's wrist dragging her with her. Naomi screamed in pain as her injured wrist was squeezed.
Dane extracted his gun from his holster pointed it towards Ekaterina "Step away or I shoot!" He exclaimed. Ekaterina froze, her arms raising in surrender as her face paled
"No!" Naomi screamed "Dane. Dane stop! Do not shoot. Please send not dangerous"
Naomi's stood in front of Ekaterina as she shivered behind her "Naomi tell him to the put the gun down"
"Dane put the gun down. Please I beg of you. Do not shoot"
"Naomi. Naomi please. Dane. Dane please. You are not a rat. You are not bloated. You are not disrespectful at all. Please put the gun down"
"Mrs. Naomi are you in danger"
"I'm not in danger. Please put the gun down. This is someone's wife you want to give a heart attack to. I'm begging you. Don't let her die in our arms please"
Dane grumbled as he lowered the gun "If that is your wish"
"Mrs. Ekaterina you need to go home ok. Its ok. Everything's ok. Go home"
Mrs. Ekaterinas eyes were wide as they darted from Naomi to Dane. "Are-are you sure you're ok Naomi"
"Yes. Yes I'm ok"
Mama Ekaterina nodded "ok. I hope I'll see you in the market today. Dane my son." Mama Ekaterina chuckled awkwardly "Greet your parents for me, ok? bye bye"
Dane watched as mama Ekaterina dashed warily down the road. Slowly he returned his attention on Naomi "Mrs. Naomi. May we continue on our journey"?
Naomi huffed "You can't point a gun to an elderly woman. That is someone's wife for crying out loud. Imagine she had gotten a heartattack and died in my arms. They would have said that Naomi was the cause. Do you really want me to end up in jail. Is that your plan"
"Ma'am I have no such plans, you had seemed to be in danger, and I had intervened."
"Who told you that I was in danger. And she is an old woman for crying out loud. What possible danger can she put me in?"
"You had screamed in pain and I had thought you were in danger. I sincerely apologize if my assumptions were incorrect."
Naomi sighed "it's ok" she murmured as she gazed at her injured wrist, it was starting to turn purple.
~~~~
"Naomi! You malapert little girl. How dare you run from home"
Naomi sighed as she saw everyone gathered outside. Her father stood beside Mr Reagan, whose soldiers were everywhere. Everyone's eyes landed on Naomi and she felt self conscious. Mama Ekaterinas material covered her legs from being exposed, but her cleavage still left nothing to the imagination.
Mary ran up to Naomi her eyes roaming over her figure "Who gave you this rubbish material?" Mary snatched the material from Naomis waist.
Naomi shrieked "Ma stop. There are men here"
Mary grabbed a hold of Naomi's right hand. Naomi was glad that her mother hadn't grabbed her injured wrist. She allowed herself be dragged to Mr Reagan. Dane followed slowly behind them. Mary deposited Naomi infront of Mr Reagan. Mr Reagan took a step towards her, closing the distance between them. He tucked a finger under chin and raised her head. She retreated from his touch "Where did you go?" Mr Reagan inquired. Naomi remained silent as her heart raced "I'm asking you a question. Answer me right now"
"Sir, I had found Ms Naomi acquainting with James Johnson"
"He didn't ask you!" Naomi exclaimed turning her anger towards Dane
"Do not raise your voice in my presence!" Mr Reagan exclaimed. Mr Reagan turned to Joseph and Mary with a malignant glare "I give you thousands of lumens to attain your daughter but still you allow her wander off with little boys"
"Naomi, how dare you go to that stupid boy called James. He is getting married in a few days and so are you. Why can't you just let him be?" Mary exclaimed.
"Noone speaks without permission" Mr Reagan demanded and Mary shut her mouth instantly "Everyone leave. I would like to speak to my wife in private"
"Ma please don't leave me with him" Naomi pleaded as her parents walked into the house, shutting the door behind them.
"Sir should we too depart?" One of the soldiers inquired.
Mr Reagan raised a dismissive hand. They were left alone in a matter of a second as his soldiers dispersed "I do not appreciate my wife walking around with other men"
"I am not your wife"
"I have paid for you, you belong to me"
"You're delusional, stay away from me. I'm not some piece of meat that you can buy and claim possession of"
"I am your husband. I demand respect. I will not be spoken to in this manner"
"You're not my husband!"
"Do not raise your voice"
"Why? Are your hearing aids going to blow up? Look, I'm doing this for your own good. I'm not mentally fine. I'm crazy. My mom calls me demented. They're afraid of me that's why they want to sell me off so that they can get rid of me. Save yourself before it's too late. I might end up stabbing you in the heart while you're asleep or cutting off your limbs and shipping it off to Madagascar."
"I like it when they're crazy. It gives me energy. Makes me feel younger."
"You lunatic!" She exclaimed
"You'll have to keep up with this lunatic for the rest of your life."
"I am not going to marry you!" Naomi exclaimed, her anger reaching its peak "Over my dead body will I say I do."
Mr Reagan chuckled sadistically as he plopped onto the lounge that was placed on the porch "I will drag your dead body to that alter and i will force your lips to utter those words and if i fail may i go missing and never be found again"
"May the heavens answer your heart desires, prepare for your disappearance because i am not going to that alter with you."
Mr reagan smiled a sinister smile as he gazed at naomi. "In the beginning I had thought that I should give you sometime to ease into the idea of marrying me. However, your disrespect makes me think otherwise you're already frolicking with these young boys. Even after i had warned them to stay away from my soon to be wife they don't pay heed to my warnings. I have decided to move our wedding to the day after tomorrow and there is nothing you or anyone wll say that will make me change my mind."
Naomi remained silent, words failing her as her emotions clogged her throat. "Did you threaten James johnson. did you tell him to stay away from me."
"What's his name?"
"James Johnson"
"The man you had ran away to see.?"
"Did you threaten him? Yes or no."
"My dear, I threaten many people on a daily basis, how do you expect me to know the name of every person that comes my way"
"He did nothing to deserve that treatment. Why did you have to threaten his life?"
"He should be grateful that he's still alive. The people I threaten don't live to tell the story. He must be one of the lucky ones. We can change that, I don't mind slicing his throat"
"Do not lay your hands on him"
Mr Reagan eyes squinted as he peered up at Naomi. "I do not appreciate this care you show towards him. It irritates me" he shook his head, waving his hand dismissively "But because I'm a good man I'll consider the precious love you have towards him. I wont harm him but if you dare disrespect me consider him dead"
"I wont disrespect you but just keep him out of ths please"
"I like it when you beg" Mr Reagan smiled "We'll be getting married in the next two days and I had decided to buy you an engagement ring." Mr Reagan brought out a box from his pocket, Naomi watched anxiously as he opened it revealing a ring, Her eyes widened as he unveiled the ring, a glint of astonishment dancing in her gaze.
"I'm not going to wear that" she stated, folding her arms in defiance
"You want your little boyfriend alive dont you?"
"You wouldn't dare" naomi said, panick rising in her chest
"Don't test me little girl"
With a weary sigh she grabbed the box from his hand and placed it on her finger. Taking a minute to admire it's shimmer.
"Good girl." Mr Reagan claimed "I cant wait for our wedding night."
"Keep your thoughts to yourself" Naomi groaned
"I'm leaving you like this because we're not married yet, but by the time we get married I'm going to tame you. I will not tolerate this ill-mannered behaviour from you."
"Whatever" Naomi muttered. "Can I go now?"
"Yes you can go" he raised his hand, waving it dismissively.
Naomi turned to leave but a thought clawed at her heart. She halted and turned around. Mr Reagans brow rose questioningly "I know that I have no say in this marriage and whether I like it or not I'll become your wife. But... I just want you to promise me something"
Mr Reagan hummed softly, leaning back in his chair "Anything you ask of me I'll do"
"Please don't hurt James. He is nothing but a friend. I promise you there is nothing going on between us"
Mr Reagan hummed "Ok my lovely wife. I will not hurt this James fella. A friend of yours is a friend of mine"
"Thank you." Naomi whispered as she entered the house, closing the door behind her
Dane walked in and bowed down to Mr Reagan "Sir should we leave?"
"Yes. Take me to James Johnson. I want to have a little meeting with him" 84Please respect copyright.PENANAYRJ4ox3Wko
