Looking at the priest, Alessio commanded “Now, go over your speech and pronounce us as husband and wife.” A word that forever changed the course of Raven’s life. She thought Alessio was her saviour. But little did she know he was a devil in three piece that just wanted her for revenge. Alessio wanted to destroy Raven the way she did six years ago by proclaiming her death. However, he found it hard that he was repeating the same mistake he did years ago. Falling in love with Raven wasn't supposed to happen to Alessio the second time but realized that his obsession was much bigger than his quest for revenge. As days goes by, the question remains—Will their obsession with each other be able to overpower the secrets that would unfold? Or would the secrets be the end to their catastrophic obsession?
View More|Raven’s POV|Isn't it ironic that exactly one week ago, I was wearing a black dress and today, I'm wearing a white dress that should signify happiness but the question that lingered in my mind was still the same—-Why did my father have to leave me?I stared at the ticking clock on the wall and wished it stopped because that would mean that my life wouldn't get as worse as it would be. I didn't know whether to cry or laugh or wallow in self-pity. I don't know what to do, my heart felt heavy, but I couldn't cry. I couldn't even bring myself to feel any emotions.Every woman has at least once dreamt of their happiest day—becoming a bride and being married to the man they loved. But as for me, I lived for that fantasy because I had always imagined how breathtaking it would be. I never imagined I would be standing in front of a mirror, my hair adorned with pearls and my wedding gown laced with beautiful crystals—just the way I wanted it. But the vision was scary because I was getting marr
|Raven’s POV|Whoever invented the idea of that spotlight thingy should be jailed.My eyes widened and my jaw dropped, what sort of ridiculous request did he make? DId he realize that it might cause me a few bruises? And how the hell did he even know my name because I could have sworn that we had never met before.“Excuse me?” Raphael chuckled, hoping he didn't hear that well.“I am sure you saw the huge ring on her finger so please clarify your request,” Raphael growled.“Yes, I would love to go on a date with her. I'm intrigued,” The crowd erupted into mild whispers and murmurings: ‘Why was he fussing over her and why would the Greek god be interested in a skank like her?’ I guess drama goes everywhere I go.Raphael scanned the crowd, seeing that they were interested in whether he would keep his words or not. “Fine. I can't exactly go back on my words,”“Good. I will pick her up tomorrow evening.” He gave a curt nod. His gaze met mine and his lips tugged into a promising smirk th
|Raven’s POV|‘I shouldn’t be here’ That was what I thought as I stepped outside the hell I was temporarily kept in. My jaw ticked in annoyance as I took in the entourage and display of wealth lined up for the auction party.It’s been three days since my father’s demise and my stay with Raphael. A part of my face hurt from where he had smacked me because I refused to consummate the marriage and the arson attempt on one of his jewelry stores only added to my misery because he took the anger on me, claiming I was cursed.But unfortunately, he refused to let me go.A loud honk resounded in the silent estate snapping me out of my thoughts. With my heart pounding in my chest, I took a deep steadying breath and walked towards the white SUV which Raphael was inside.The driver gave me a curt nod, opening the door for me. I was met with the familiar scent and a tightened jaw. He barely glanced at me before ordering the driver to move.I could feel his heated stare on my body but I loathed be
If I initially thought I was doomed, I was wrong. Raphael Lau was going to make my life hell.“No-no. You can’t marry me to that monster.” I stuttered,I thought I had exhausted the tears, but the fresh wave of hot tears that rolled down my cheek at the knowledge of being married to that woman beater was worse.“My love, that is not how to talk about your future husband.” His voice interrupted our conversation.I didn’t even hear him walking in.My blood ran cold and bile rose in my throat at his endearment. I suddenly wished my father didn’t die. The middle-aged man had asked my father for my hands in marriage but my father had thrown him out of his mansion that day.“She will learn. I know you will make her submissive.” My uncle assured him.“In no time, trust me. She will learn all the manners her father had failed to teach her and she would become that timid little rabbit you want.” Raphael promised.The first glimpse I saw through my blurry eyes was my husband-to-be’s sleek, shin
|Raven’s POV|The black-drenched cocktail dress was almost the same colour and state of my heart. My heart reeled with only one question--Why did my father leave me now?Just when I was going to tell him my darkest secret, I did not doubt that he would hate me for that, but most especially he would be pissed that I didn’t tell him when he was alive.I had revealed the secret to his lifeless body instead.My eyelids were heavy and my throat was hoarse from crying. I had buried my father a few hours ago and just found it in me to leave the burial ground. However, not seeing my father again made me want to return to the place again.But I needed to comfort my mother, she couldn’t even bear to watch her beloved husband being lowered to the ground. She had left earlier, to protect the rest of her sanity.I stared back at my reflection in the two-way full-length mirror at the entrance that served as a door to the mansion. My sunken yet puffy eyes looked lifeless, my long black hair had lost
