Chapter 2 - What a lie...

As Kaiba had said, the two of them had to pretend they were happily married and that it was all by choice, or the contract that gave Kaiba rights to Dora's father's company would be completely void.

Dora shivered as she sat on the end of the bed, her back to the door, in the room that was one of many in the Kaiba Corp domestic block. She stared out of the open glass doors that lead onto a balcony, silent and alone in the darkness, she was just rigid with fear. What was he going to expect?...they'd met each other very briefly twice before the marriage and now she was going to be expected to...she couldn't even finish the thought.

Dora bit her lip and tensed even more when she heard the door open, and the gap in the door cast a beam of light into the darkness, to indicate her figure to him as he stepped into the room. Kaiba shut the door quite harshly, and just stood behind her for a moment, before circling around her, like some sort of cat contemplating what game to play with it's mouse. He sat down next to her on the bed, and gripped her chin, turning her head so he could look into her eyes. It wasn't tenderly of course, it was to frighten her even more. He scraped his fingers down her face, and then pressed his lips against hers, forcing her to lay down on the bed, pinned to it because he was laying over her. Kissing her relentlessly.

Dora let out a soft whimper, but it was enough to make him stop and he got off her, staring at her coldly, his breathing slightly heavier. "I see..." he said darkly, "you're not that type of girl...". Dora moved up against the headboard of the bed, holding her mouth, staring at him, petrified. "You just needed to say so, but, it's going to make me like you even less Miss Devlin...or should i say, Mrs Kaiba, because if i can't even get that out of you, what use are you?". Dora took her hands away, whispering "i didn't want this either...". Kaiba nodded, giving her a look that suggested she shouldn't supply him with information he already knew. "I know that...i was testing you Dora, just to see, what i could use you for...but you at least have some self respect...moderately impressive i guess".

He stood up off the bed and left her there. "Good night" he said turning to the door to leave. "Kaiba..." Dora called, he stopped, but didn' turn around. "I-...i had to do this for my father, i guess I'm sorry I'm such a waste of space". Kaiba scoffed a little opening the door, "so am i" he mumbled, walking out of the room, slamming the door behind himself.
