"You know, I am completely fed up with your newfound attitude of coming home late without even giving me as much as a call," Marina whined as Aiden had his dinner. It Was late, about 10 pm in the night and Marina had to stay up, waiting for him to get back home. "I'm having my dinner, baby," he said, his voice low and husky, his eyes fixed on hers with an unnerving intensity. "Let me finish it up before you talk about all the ways you would kill me." He smiled, his lips curling up in a sly, seductive grin that made her heart skip a beat. "Although, I do have a favorite way I'd like to die - in your arms, with your hands wrapped around my throat." She felt a shiver run down her spine as he spoke, his dilated pupils making her heart flutter in her chest. But she refused to back down, keeping up her angry act even as her body betrayed her. "No, I am definitely serious, and I'm not waiting," she said, her voice firm, but her eyes betraying a hint of vulnerability. "Why were you late hom
"I do not accept Marina Jones as my wife." A gasp filled the hall immediately Jayden rejected the vows from the mouth of the priest for the second time in a row. Everyone was surprised at the sudden turn of events. The hall went into panic, whispers filled the hall, and both the girl's and boy's parents ran to the front. "What do you think you are doing Jayden?" "What's wrong with you Jayden? Accept the wedding vows and get married to Marina." Marina's mum chided, pulling Jayden's arm and he pulled out like her presence was irritating. "The apple doesn't fall too far from the tree, does it? Daniel, display the photos." Jayden’s voice was loud and almost immediately, pictures of Marina lying naked in the arms of another man were brought up on the trajectory "Does this look familiar?" He raised a brow and Marina's eyes widened when she caught sight of what everyone was gasping at. "I have no idea what that is." She yelled gesturing at the photos. "I can't get married to a woman t
As Marina and the stranger who happened to be Prince Aiden Wellington had finalized on getting married, Marina wiped her tears and retouched her face with a makeup kit that he had brought. It was like he had predicted what would happen because for what reason would a man be carrying a makeup kit? "We should go home now, we will watch the rest on the TV." A woman muttered while exchanging words with her friends, she picked up her bag ready to leave from there. "No one is leaving from here till I get married. We all came here to watch a wedding, didn't we? So I cannot deprive you of that." Marina's voice was heard over the speaker as she re-entered the wedding hall. "Someone lock the door, nobody should leave from here till I get married," Marina remarked looking around with keen eyes, she ignored Jayden and looked around. "Marina! That is enough! You can not disgrace our Hawthorne family like this! We agree our son made a foolish decision but you can not do this!" Jayden's mo
"Do not say yes Mari, please stop Mari.." "Yes, yes I do," Marina answered loud enough for everyone to hear, a creepy smile hanging on her lips "I hereby proclaim you, man and woman. You may now kiss the bride." The priest remarked closing his book. "We will Save that for the bedroom sir, we can not do that here." "Thank you everyone! For coming and being a witness to this beautiful union, I sincerely appreciate you all from the bottom of my heart. Thank you for the gifts and blessings too, hopefully in a year you all will hear news of my baby." "Thank you so much, you can open the door now. You all can leave." Marina remarked with a bright smile, she was scurrying everyone out of the room in a hurry with excitement in her eyes. While Marina was looking at the guards leave, Jayden moved from the back of the altar and came to stand in front of her. "Wow, does he know he just got married to a prostitute?" "And the nerves of you marrying someone else on our wedding day?
Marina did not know whether to cry anymore or accept her parent's apology. Sniffling to herself, she turned around hiding her feelings from them. Aiden watched the situation without much card as he took the seat his guards had provide him. "Your family is a little strange.." Aiden started referring to Marina and they all stopped to listen to him. "Anyone can hit anyone just to satisfy their grievances," he looked like he was in deep thought as a guard approached him and handed him a tablet. "Liam, do you love your job?" He turned and the guard immediately retrieved the tablet and stepped back. "Well, I will generalize it then. No one under any circumstance should hit my wife, I get pissed when people touch what's mine. Also, Jayden, tell your co-worker, Daniel that I gave him a surprise. Same as you." Just then Daniel was working in... "Prince Aiden?" He called and fainted on the spot. "Oh poor little rabbit." Aiden simply said and stood up, using the bridge of his shoe
"You're to meet me in the dining in 30 minutes, be punctual. I detest lateness, there are certain rules around my house but you'll be briefed of course." He was saying it like he was handing over a job to her care and she didn't like it. "But the first 2 rules are very very important, firstly, keep to the west wing. That's where you're staying, living and breathing. Only if visitors are around can you come to the living room or if I call for you. I enjoy my solitude." "Secondly, this is mainly for marriage's sake. Don't expect any act or show of romance, no matter how tiny it may be. It is a contract, after all." After he said that, he walked off while Marina stared at his disappearing figure. "Mum, Dad I miss you both a lot. Can I come home?" Marina asked no one in particular looking very sad. "Passing through, let me in. Amira, it's me, Summer. Guess what happened? The biggest wedding in town became the biggest embarrassment in town." Summer said with a chuckle **** In a
"Their wedding was called off? That Marina, how dare she embarrass him like this on the altar, doesn't she give any ounce of respect?!" "How dare she get married to another man right on the altar, I told Jayden she was a crafty snake.!" Amira yelled upset at Marina's audacity to do some things. Summer couldn't help but chuckle to herself, "This isn't Marina's fault, you should hear about the whole thing before concluding. Jayden was the one who rejected her on the altar, Marina only gave him a taste of his own medicine." "Jayden rejected her on the altar? He did do that? What exactly happened there?" Amira remarked wanting to know about what transpired. Summer nodded, she recounted everything that happened at Marina's and Jayden's wedding, she told everything from start to finish. "So all this is Jayden's fault, why reject her on the altar? He should have brought to her notice that he knew she was cheating and wouldn't get married to her." Summer scolded. While Summer was tal
Summer drove into the huge estate with such speed that the guards could not even stop her, she stopped directly in front of the huge white mansion and turned off her motorcycle, she took off her helmet and strode into the house. "How many times have I told you to stop recklessly driving? You are a girl for goodness sake, do you have plans to end your life?" Summer's mom muttered with a frown glaring at her. "Mom! How are you doing today?! You look so good, where is Dad?" Summer remarked, bypassing her mother's concerns, she pulled her mum towards the living room with a smile. "Daddy, your baby is back home..." Summer exclaimed, running to sit beside her dad and pull him into a tight hug. Mr. Wellington did not know if he should scold his stubborn daughter or pamper her, he looked up at her and smiled. Mrs. Wellington shook her head, having three children has taught her that her husband loved to spoil his kids. "You are not going to hide under the guise of being a lovely daugh
