[ Emerald ]
Soon evening crept in,I didn't do much in the entire day just slept or read new gossip flooding over the news channels about famous people and guess what I found our story from different angles in the highlights of media.They presented their different narrative on our sudden and unexpected wedding and I could find traces of truth in most of them.
Thus realization settled in me,he agreed to take me with him to the party to break the bubbles of fake gossips about our 'wedlock of 'love'.
"Emerald we are getting late do you understand.I don't have entire evening to wait upon Her Royal Highness."His annoyed shouting came from the living room.
"I am coming just one minute."I yelled back rolling my eyes on his continuous ranting on before giving a final glance at mirror to check my appearance.
I can't afford to give him the tiniest reason to ridicule me in front of th
[ Emerald ] "Emerald Sweetheart please come and meet my college friends."Davian called me.They were standing at a few meters away from me. I couldn't not miss the mischievous glint in the wolfish gaze of his male friends while the girls shot me one of those obvious distasteful glance that I have been receiving since I adapted the title of Mrs. Davian Knight.The word still feels alien and sour. They stood a far feom the rest of the bunch of guests much to my uneasiness.I would not be safe without a crowd where he acts all loving and caring husband. I had an intuition in my heart that this meeting won't end on a pleasant note. "Hey guys meet my beautiful wife Emerald Greene."Davian slide his hand on my lower back and pulled me on his side a little too harsh.Surely,the alcohol was overpowering his system. Thanks to my acquittance with heels or I would h
[ Emerald ] I was tired of continuous scooting on the narrow lanes of the city in the darkness of the night. I walked aimlessly on the deserted road for hours,having no clue where to go,I could not go back to the beach house,where the beast must be waiting for his prey,that's me. It was hell I have been suffering untilfive hours ago.He gave me the scars not on my body only but on my soul also. I could only hear the howls of stray dogs from far probably in the left side lane giving chills down my spine but I must not stop ,it would trap me back there where I don't wish to go back. Exhausted by running with an empty stomach and bruises all over my wrist,I sat under the street light pole.The sky had only dull starlight .The deserted lanes gave me a ghostly feeling. The city was draped in the sheet of scaring silence that could shake even a rock
[ Emerald ] There was something in the way his blue eyes lingered on me stirring the whirlpool of emotions in my heart.I knew it was wrong,insane but those eyes had their own charm. I was in a myriad of dilemma.First,I wove a future with my love Ethan,who had been calling and texting me like maniacs.He didn't deserve me.I betrayed him not once but multiple times.I was sold in a marriage to a husband who despises me as a fatal decease. "Okay.I have to make a call,I'll be back in five minutes."He whispered tenderly. I nod my head feeling my cardiac muscles relaxed and he bolted towards the balcony.I walked inside the bathroom to take wash my face and remove my make up to erase the mental as well as the physical stress I was holding since morning. After freshening up,I made my way out of the room to the kitchen he showed me earlier and put the kettle on the flame to boil
[ Emerald ]"You don't have to do this if you're not feeling like to I mean you still have an option."Damian's voice radiated concern.His slim fingers gripped the steering wheel so tightly causing them to turn white."I do but-"I sighed and licked my dry lips,"I am not a coward either.I can't give him the satisfaction of labeling me by the adjectives he entitled me last night."My heart sank by the predicted reaction once I cross the threshold of the house that stood a few meter away from where Damian parked his car.The beach house."Okay I respect you decision if you want to face him but remember I am just a call away in case he do something he must not to a woman or I say to his wife."Damien said in gruff tone.I smiled seeing the worry in his blue eyes for a complete stranger though I discovered we are relatives not so long ago.Should I expect the same from the
[ Emerald ]The car ride was awkwardly silent.I sticked my face on the glass window to feel the icy numbness on my burning head not because of fever but the uneasy feeling of facing the old Mr.Darian Knight and his wife Mrs. Elizabeth Knight whom I only meet a couple or more times before the marriage but this time I was going to be presented as his grandson's lawfully wedded wife,who just returned from their honeymoon.We came back to New York two days ago after our fight and my counter back,he declared in the evening that we would be flying back to our city as he had a very important business meeting scheduled suddenly.It took me a hard sleepless night to prepare myself for the family meeting when Damien,my 'husband' texted me to get ready for a lunch at his grandparents' place in the morning.He doesn't return to his penthouse in the night,I know where he goes which I least care about as far as he doesn'
[ Emerald ]I was sitting with Mrs. Kmight in her library with our coffee.She didn't give those skeptical look which I received from her husband but I wasn't at ease either.She gave me a tour of their mansion while Davian was discussing some business with his grandfather that's what I guess."So what reason you find in my grandson that proves he will be a good husband for you?.I mean you gave your approval of this proposal when your grandparents asked you?"Mrs. Knight ran her finger on the rim of her cup.Her sharp brown eyesI couldn't bring myself to tell her the truth.She was all kind to me and treated me with love."I know he is not what people made him in the eye of world.He is different."I made up an instant excuse and it worked as her brows twisted in amusement."I know you're different,"she out the empty cup on the table ."That's why my choose you
[ Emerald ]Nervousness again strike me as I could see Fabian's parents and his sister entering inside the mansion with my Maa Papa.Aderline rushed in my blood and I could not hold myself from running into their arms."Maa."I clutched her old tiny frame crying hard on her shoulder.All the emotions I locked in my heart vent out when her soothing touch caressed my back."My sweet baby I missed you so much."She cooed me like I was still her baby girl."I missed you terribly."I sniffed ans broke the hug to turn to greet my grandfather.His old eyes pooled with emotions though he was trying to hide them but I knew he was missing me the most."Papa I am angry on you."I crossed my arms across my chest forgetting all fiasco of my life at the moment."First give your old man a bear hug then complain as much as you can."He stretched his arms and I couldn't control my
[ Emerald ]Days started rolling on but my husband's coldness towards me didn't budge and I decided to adapt myself to live like a trophy wife.I am still on my 'wedding leave' my grandparents basically forbade me to enter in the premises of my office building and I had nothing to do except to kill my time by reading books.Davian has a private library adjacent to his office where I spend most of my day hours.I love reading classics.We never shared a word.Sometimes I wonder how we were living under the same roof but neither I nor he knew anything about each other or our life.Like my husband ,my in laws parents never treated me like a non living object except Davian and his baby sister Dalliah but even their comforting company didn't fill the hollowness of my heart.I too deserved a married life in which my husband shower his care a
