Alex got up immediately after his mother cut the call. He looked at Ellen with pure disgust and he was angered more with himself as he made a grave mistake.
He had done exactly the one thing he didn't want to and now he knew that his mother wouldn't leave him in peace until he married Ellen.
He went over to Ellen and shook her forcefully "Wake up!" he said.
"Good morning love," Ellen said smiling as she sat up on the bed.
In response to her greeting, Alex threw over her clothes to her and said "Get ready, we leave in five." as he went out of the room.
Ellen was shocked by his behaviour but thought he was probably affected by their actions last night as he was a virgin too, she got dressed and went out to find him sitting on a couch drinking coffee.
"Where are we heading?" Ellen asked.
"You'll see," Alex said and went out of the suite, not giving Ellen a second look as she trailed behind him, shocked with what happened to him.
Even as they drove back to the mansion, Ellen tried to converse, but Alex replied in monosyllables and after a while, she decided to keep her mouth shut for good.
**********
As Alex and Ellen entered the mansion's living room, they found Mr and Mrs Raymond seated on the couch, drinking tea with serious faces.
"You tell her," Alex said and stormed out of the room.
"Tell me what?" Ellen asked very quietly as Mrs Raymond motioned her to sit.
"You see, I never wanted my son to stay away from gold diggers Elen, so I put up a condition in front of him." Mrs Raymond said.
"What condition?" Ellen asked confused.
"That he must not sleep with a girl before the wedding and if he does he must marry her." Mrs Raymond said looking at her.
Ellen just sat there shocked, she decided in an instant "If you want, I will comply with your wishes," she said, You both have given me a new life and anything you expect of me would be fulfilled."
Mrs Raymond smiled, looking at Ellen "Oh dear," she got up and hugged her "I know the circumstances are not what they should be but I'm happy my son marrying you." Mrs Raymond said as they broke the hug.
"Ellen, I apologise for Alex's behaviour, He'll come through." Mr Raymond who had been silent the whole while said getting up " Welcome to the family daughter." he said and opened his arms to embrace Ellen in a fatherly hug.
"Given the new circumstances, I had your stuff already moved into a rose room." Mrs Raymond said smiling.
