It's my wedding night!

I'm supposed to shout and scream in joy right? But hell no! I am sleeping on the damn uncomfortable couch still in my wedding dress.

I got married to Jace Williams. The popular American musician. I know nothing about my husband, I recently found out about his name and his career. He is popular, I supposed to know him but I don't. Am not a fan of music and I don't know any musicians. I grew up in a small city in Texas with my late parents and I wasn't exposed to most things, especially social life.

My father died when I was thirteen and I recently lost my mother and that was last year after my eighteenth birthday. It was the darkest day of my life... I became an orphan on that day. My mother who was my only source of strength after my father's death left me too. I was left to thrive alone in this cruel world. It wasn't easy as I went through a lot. I dropped out of school because I couldn't fund my education. All my mother's life savings varnished in the hospital bills because she died from a deadly blood cancer, leukemia. So after her death, I was left with nothing.

Subsequently, in the beginning of this month. I accidentally met an old man who recognized me as the girl he has been looking for in the past six years. He compared me with my thirteen—year—old picture in his custody. The same obsidian brown eyes and inky black hair. It took me a lot of courage to admit that it was me in the picture because I couldn't trust him so easily.

The old man was so elated to have found me but I was muddled. I don't know him, I've never met him in the past, so why's he so excited to meet me? After explaining to me who he is and why he was so obstinate to find me and my mother, I found out that he was an old man my father helped in the past by saving his life... My father actually died trying to save the old man's life. The only thing he got from my father was my picture which fell off my father's pocket when the doctors were trying to save him.

The old man had to leave the hospital for an urgent issue, it was so crucial that he couldn't abandon it but he didn't return because he had a heart attack as a result of that urgent issue.

After the man recovered, he came back to the hospital but got information that my father was dead and his family, which is I and mum, had taken his body. He looked for me and my mother but couldn't find us until after six years of several investigations and searches, he finally found me.

I told him about my mother's death and he was greatly hurt. He blamed himself for not finding us early, if he had done so my mother wouldn't have died, he would have saved her from the sickness. To pay my father for his kind deed, he decided to marry me off to his youngest grandson whom I know nothing about.

I don't mind getting married at the age of nineteen, I just want a new family that I can call mine. I want a home and people to rely on. In just one week of meeting the old man, Mr Williams, he got me married to his youngest grandson because he was so eager to make me his daughter and part of his family.

Mr Williams is a good person and he's happy about the marriage but I can't say the same for his arrogant grandson—my so-called husband, Jace. I feel like he was forced to marry me. His face wasn't bright at all during the moment we tied the knot at the chapel and immediately after that, he left, leaving me alone in the chapel.

I was greatly embarrassed, the only person that comforted me was Mr Williams. The rest of the family members had a mockery smile on their faces. I actually accepted this arranged marriage because I want a new family that will love and cherish me, but it seems that I will get the opposite, also my husband whom I thought that he accepted to get married to me because he loves me doesn't even love me... I believed he married me because he was forced by his grandfather but I hope not. I want to believe just like Mr Williams said that he left because he has some urgent work to take care of.

Well, I am already married and I should be ready to face anything that comes with it. Besides, my life before this marriage won't be in any way better than my life in the marriage. Mr Willam's love is enough for me, if he's going to be my only family... I won't mind. Also I need to stay married because I've already promised Mr William that no matter what, I won't leave his grandson. I don't know why he coaxed me into making the promise. Maybe he has his reasons.

As a newly wedded wife, I waited for my husband in our magnificent room. One thing I didn't mention earlier, is that the Williams are extraordinarily rich. Am still amazed, how a poor street girl like me got to become the daughter in-law of this multi-billion household, their gigantic mansion looks like a castle.

I waited for my husband in our ineffable room. I decided not to take my bath because I don't know what I might spoil in that large bathroom that looks like a complete apartment, everything in that bathroom looks so modern and confusing to me. I wasn't born rich so I don't know many things associated with rich people. Instead of going in there and spoiling something that might be expensive to repair, it's better I wait for my husband to come home and direct me.

After waiting for more than three hours that I nearly dozed off on the bed, my husband finally returned home. I was so nervous to speak to him, in fact I haven't looked him in the eyes since a few days ago we met. I couldn't get myself to look him in the eyes as he has that intimidating aura around him. I haven't looked so closely at him but the little glimpse I've got from him screamed handsome in my head... I can't believe I am married to such a handsome and yet popular man.

“Hi.." I mustered courage and muffle out but he ignored me and walk through a door which looks like an extra room inside the magnificent room. I just bite my lips and wait for him to come out, maybe he didn't hear me.

I feel uncomfortable and really want to get myself out of this wedding dress and take my bath but the problem is that I don't even know where those maids packed my clothes which Mr Williams bought for me, neither do I know how to use those things in the bathroom.

I sigh and rested my back on the bed headboard as I started gallivanting my eyes in the big room to know if I can find a closet or something like that but I found none. Taking this opportunity, I finally saw the beauty of this room. The interior arrangement is not lousy, it appears simple but yet extravagant. Everything is neatly placed in order, it looks like my husband is an orderly person unlike me who likes my room messy... I hope that I will be able to fit into his perfectly-pictured life.

As my eyes are still scrutinizing the whole room, it accidentally falls on my husband who is half naked with his bare chest and white towel around his waist as he walks out from that inner room. I quickly hid my face as I felt my cheeks burn from blushing. I only got a glimpse but I found out how god-damn sexy his body is. I tried fixing my gaze in a direction apart from his but I find it hard... I just need to try harder. How can he be so crazy handsome!

I was still battling with my stupid thoughts when I heard his husky voice which subconsciously made me startled

“What are you doing here?"

'huh?'

I quickly glance at him but took my eyes away almost immediately. Am confused by his question. What does he mean? I wonder how I can answer a question that I don't even understand. Isn't his room supposed to be my room? I kept quiet without answering him because I didn't know what to say.

“I asked you a question." his harsh, cold voice made me flinch a bit. I wonder if I am going to get comfortable staying around this man, like I can't even look him in the eyes and his voice makes me feel a chill down my spine. And this question he's asking me, I don't have any answer to give him.

“Get down from the bed," his voice sounds icily and rash. I got greatly flinched this time around and without wasting time, I scrambled down from the bed and stood with my head hung down. All my life, I haven't been a confident girl and standing in front of this domineering spunky husband of mine makes it worse.

“Sleep on the couch and don't dare come close to my bed," he snide.

What! on the couch? I thought we are husband and wife and should sleep together on the same bed. It was at this moment I realized that my new husband doesn't actually love me and I wonder how my married life will be... sad, I guess.

I haven't taken my bath and don't know where my clothes are kept, at least I should change from this uncomfortable wedding dress. I wanted to ask him where I could find the closet but quickly threw the idea away. I will just waste my saliva in doing so and besides he has walked inside the bathroom and I don't even have the courage to ask even if he comes out. Seeing how icily he is towards me, I don't think it is a good idea to ask him how to use those modern things inside the bathroom.

Without having any choice, I just curled myself on the couch. I thought marriage is always a sweet experience but it seems mine is going to be bitter.

    I tried tossing around thinking I was sleeping on the bed but ended up falling down.“Ouch!" I wince in pain as my butt and whole body hurts. I think it is already morning as I can see bright lights from the outside glimmering inside the room. I slowly stand on my feet, feeling the pains all over my body as my eyes look round the room, there is no sight of my husband. I peered my ears to know if I could hear the splashing of water from the bathroom but heard none. It looks like he's not in the room at all, maybe he has left for work. Isn't he a musician? I thought they only needed to work when they wanted to produce a song. Well, I don't know much about music and it's stuff so I can't tell.I yawn and stretch my arm, not that I am feeling sleepy but I feel pain all over my body coupled with my butt which was the most affected part from the fall since I tumbled and landed with my back, thereby hitting my butt on the floor with a loud thud.I only not feel pains in my body from falling

    I saunter downstairs through the wide spiral staircase which looks like the type of staircase that can be found in a castle. This mansion is extraordinary, every single thing around here screams wealth. I haven't even viewed the other space in the house, just the little I've seen makes me ponder if I will ever fit into this family or if I made a mistake becoming the daughter in-law of this family. It looks like I am still yet to understand the excessiveness of the family I got married into and the distance between my life and theirs. As I was taking in the beauty of the living room which looks like the whole house of some average families, I heard someone's voice behind me. It was even now that I realized that no one had come down for breakfast. I was rushing downstairs thinking that I was late not knowing that none of the family members had arrived for the dinning. It seems they are not hungry. Well, I am ravenous and need some chunk of food in my empty stomach.“Hi!" I hear the sam

    The moment my husband's soft but yet frigid voice erupted the whole living room, I could see Melinda flinch a bit but quickly straighten up and put on a bold look to face my husband. That little action of hers makes me wonder if she fears my husband despite her saucy and arrogant attitude. Well, no one wouldn't fear my husband... the man has a very powerful aura that can stiffen a person. He took a glance at me before fixing his gaze on Melinda who tried to appear intrepid but her wavering eyes couldn't help her. Is this what my husband's presence could do to someone? Even Melinda who appeared so resolute a while ago now looks like a shivering lamb trying to hide in her shell. “Jace... you are here," Melinda stutters with a nervous smile. I can feel the intensity of her voice, like, she's trying to appear valiant in front of this young man whose blank face can't give out any emotion at all, you just can't see through his eyes, they are so cold and icy that it could make someone shud

    The breakfast wasn't something pleasing.

I just don't even get why they hate me. Why can't they love and accept me, even though I'm poor, I am already married to their brother. What am I even saying, they don't even love the brother in question and the brother in question doesn't even love me.They all looked dividend according to their private family.

He also told me the family norms and many other things.The blue-eyed guy who's Ryan is Hannah's fiance and the black shoulder length hair lady who's Margaret is his mother.The gray-eyed guy who's Kevin is Melinda's husband and I realize that both of them are rude and arrogant couple.

    No need of thinking too much because his eyes don't give out anything at all. I just took my gaze away from him and directed it towards Darren. “Are you new to this city?" Darren asks. “Yes, I am actually new to this country. Am from the United States," I simply replied.“Oh! wow! I love the country. I've been there a couple of times. I guess you're here on vacation. Did you come alone?" he asked once again.I wanted to say that I came to this resort with my husband but I quickly restricted myself. My husband told the manager that I'm his friend and to Annabelle, he said that I'm his maid.... that means he doesn't want anyone to know that I'm his wife. “Yes," I mumble a reply. I feel bad saying that but that's what my husband wants. He might get angry if he finds out that I told someone that I'm his wife. He's a musician and a lot of people from this city know him, so I am sure he won't introduce a nobody like me as his wife. If I am a model as Annabelle, maybe he would. With the

    I scrambled into my room, the next thing I did was to bury myself in that soft bed. The excruciating pain in my heart right now can't even compare to yesterday's. How can he do this to me, even if he hates me, he should at least respect our marriage....we are here for our honeymoon, it is not too much to ask of him to keep himself at bay. The image of his shirtless self and the sexily dressed Annabelle makes my heart pound and throb in pain. I don't even know why I am feeling this miserable when I shouldn't, or maybe I'm mad to have started feeling something for a man that has done nothing but hate me at first sight. I don't know much about love or feelings but my mother said that any man that can make your heart palpitate, skip and beat has a special place in your heart even without you knowing.I felt this way the first day I met my husband even before our marriage. I know it's not because of how handsome he is because I've seen lots of handsome men but I never felt the way I did

    “Where are you coming from?" my husband's voice jolted me from my thoughts. He didn't get a reply from me so he asked again. Well, I was confused and shocked at his question, that was why I didn't reply to his question and I was busy pondering in my head to know if I heard his words right.“Constance?" his deep voice calls. I flinch a bit. I swear, this man has that bid of making someone quiver. I'm stupid to believe that my name sounds sweet from his husky voice but actually it does. I smile inwardly, I love the way he calls my name.“I asked you a question," he added. Why do I sense anger and something else in his voice? I must be stupid to think that he's jealous. He can't be, I mean why will he be? I'm just overthinking as always. I peeked at his face, it's rigid as always. Not wanting to get on his nerves, I quickly replied to his questions.“I went out with a friend," I mumble. Silence, there was at least three seconds of silence. I can't believe he asked me a question and

My husband's car diverged in another direction on our way from the airport, it looks like he has somewhere else to be. Mr Williams was waiting for me in the living room, Hannah was there too. Mr Williams welcomed me with open arms as a father would welcome his daughter. That little action of his made me happy. It made me realize that I still have someone to call my family even after my parents death.I called Mr Williams on our way to the airport from the resort, I told him that me and my husband are already coming back. He sounded a little bit surprised, of course he should be…. our honeymoon didn't last a bit and I wonder what his reaction will be if I tell him what I went through in the honeymoon.

    Author's point of view:Three years later..“Mommy! Mommy!" two beautiful kids screamed as they ran towards Constance. She opened her arms to welcome the kids.“How are my sweet babies?" Constance asked with a bright smile as she pulled their cheeks making the two-year-old twins giggle. “Mommy, daddy bought me a big car," the boy among the twins excitedly said.“And he bought me a new doll!" The girl squeaked happily.“Oh! I'm so jealous of you guys, daddy bought gifts for you guys. Where's my own gift?" Constance pouted her cheeks. She looked up to see her husband who joined them in the sitting room. The poor man looks worn out, the kids must have stressed him. She only left him with the kids for four hours and he looks stressed already. They hired a nanny but she's on sick leave and will return very soon. Since Jace didn't go to work today, Constance asked him to take care of the kids while she went to spend some time with her friend Jocelyn who will get married in two weeks time.

    Author's point of view:Darren opened the door as doctor Jorge walked in. Jorge looks tense and it wasn't left unknown to Darren. Darren asked him if he's okay and he said yes.“Have you made up your mind Darren?" Jorge asked, walking ahead of Darren towards the room where Constance is, still unconscious. Darren followed him behind but didn't speak. He doesn't know why he feels that something is off. He's just having the hunch that something bad might happen.“Jorge, I hope no one follows you when coming here?" Darren asked. “Of course not, I was careful just like other days," Jorge replied. His voice was a little bit shaky, making Darren suspect something but he waved it away. He knows that nothing will go wrong. Jorge is always careful and also, Jorge can't betray him.“Darren, I asked you if you have made up your mind to take this girl to the hospital. She's slowly dying, if no good medical attention is given to her… she will die for good."Jorge was staring directly at Darren who

    Constance's point of view:I shakily turn to face the angry Darren. He's laughing but no one needs to tell me that it's a dangerous laugh. I thought I hit him hard, he should have fainted or died. I didn't know that he would rise on his feet so quickly, though blood is still oozing out from his forehead.“I told you that you can't escape from me. You are mine and only mine!"“I will never be yours Darren, never!" screamed and ran away in another direction. Maybe I will find another exist. I haven't run far before Darren caught up on me. He held my arm tightly and pushed me to himself. I tried to free myself from his grip but he wouldn't let me. The next thing I felt was a sharp pain on my cheeks. He slapped me. This time, I felt my lips were broken.“I told you that I will be good to you if you do not make me angry but you didn't listen to me. Now, I will teach you a lesson. I don't want to hurt you but you have pushed me too far."I gulped down in fear. What is he trying to do to me

    Constance's point of view:I slowly open my eyes, my head hurts a lot. I supported my head with my palms as I tried to sit up. Why does my head hurt so much? Where am I? What happened to me? I'm confused.“You are finally awake, sweetheart."What! That's Darren's voice. How is that possible? I must be dreaming. Darren is in prison. There's no way he could be talking to me right now because I'm not in the prison with him.I fearfully look to my left where his voice came from, praying so hard that I will not see Darren, that whatever I heard will just come from my head and not be a reality. I flinched greatly when my eyes fell on Darren who had a smug smile on his lips which I noticed to be broken. His face also has some fresh scars on it. He looks like someone who had been torturing. Of course, he should. He's in prison and some prison mates are psychos. If you should survive in a prison, you should be strong to defend yourself and it looks like Darren is not. But wait… why am I with

    Three months later…Constance point of view“Happy birthday baby," my husband whispers into my ear. I smile shyly as I stare at his reflection through the mirror. He kissed my ear lobe and gently trail the kiss down my neck. I shiver a bit in ecstacy. “You look so beautiful," he cooed. “I love you so much."I smile, “I love you too. Thank you for coming back to me."“I promised you that I will never leave you and I kept my promise. I will always be by your side, baby, always." He kissed my neck once again.I smiled and stood up as I faced him. I stare into his obsidian black eyes. They are so beautiful and enchanting. I never thought that I could see these beautiful eyes again. Even though I had faith that he would come back to me, I still couldn't help the fear in my heart.I wrapped my arms around his neck. My eyes are teary, I'm doing all I could not to break down in tears. I can also see the same emotion in my husband's beautiful eyes.For the past three months, I feel like not l

    Author's point of view:Jace clenched his fist when Jocelyn told him everything that had been going on in Constance's life but the only thing that made Jace smile was when Jocelyn said that Constance is pregnant.“Constance is pregnant?" His voice was full of excitement, though some anger was still lurking there.“Yes," Jocelyn replied with a teary smile. She was happy that Jace was alive. Constance was the only one that did not believe that Jace was dead and she was waiting for him to return back to her and her wish had been fulfilled. Jace was actually alive and her wish had been fulfilled.It was three days ago that Jace came to Jocelyn's house. It was a cold night. The knock came on the door and Jocelyn was the one to get the door. At first, she couldn't recognize that it was Jace that was standing on the doorway because he was covered in a black hoodie. She screamed in fear when Jace removed his hoodie cap to reveal his handsome face. Jace was fast enough to cover her mouth with

I quickly reach for my towel but before I could cover up, Darren is already close to me and pins me on the wall making the towel fall off. I gasped and gulped down. His eyes are still running lustfully on my body before they settle on my breast.No, no, I won't let him touch me. I tried pushing him away but he wouldn't oblige. He looked up to stare at my face. I can see the lust and desire in his eyes. Oh! No, this is not good. Darren is looking like a predator trying to hunt his prey. What if I can't stop him this time? I was a fool, Why didn't I lock the bathroom? I was so weak when I entered the bathroom and needed the warm water to run through my body and thereby forgetting to lock the door.I squeaked when I felt his hand smosh my breast. “Darren! What are you doing!" I tried to push him away once again but he still wouldn't budge. Fear gripped me at the moment.

He agreed about not consummating the marriage until I'm ready. I'm happy he did, this will buy me some time.I'm seated in the coffee shop with Jocelyn who is staring suspiciously at me.

Kevin stood there with a smirk. He collected the papers, smiling satisfyingly. I have willed all my husband's properties to him. In my husband's will, it stated that I owe all his properties. So I have the right to sign off his properties to anyone.I have no choice. I can't scream it to the world. If I do, I know that Kevin and Darren will end up in prison but before the police could save Jocelyn and grandfather, their men will kill them.
