He Is My Husband!?

Chapter 2

Sienna;

I let in a sharp intake of breath, and my eyes snapped open. Looking around, I discovered I was in a moving vehicle. Feeling something warm and soft against my cheeks, I blinked. 

A hand was on my hair, and fingers gently brushed my face.

I sat up sharply, realizing I was resting on someone's lap. My eyes trailed up from the black pants to a toned chest, hidden beneath a black shirt, tight against his torso.

My stomach churned, as I saw the face.

Adams.

The Adams Black. 

His eyes were closed. He was... Sleeping? 

"What..what..." I choked out, unable to form a coherent sentence. A familiar ringtone sounded from behind me, which I could recognize as mine.

I grabbed my cell phone from the car seat, not wanting to dwell on how it, or I, rather, had gotten here in the first place.

"Hello?" My voice was shaky, matching the loud thump of my heart.

"I knew you could never be relied on!" My father's deep angry voice sounded from the other end, and I blinked, "You couldn't even do anything right! I told you, Sienna. You were a mistake, and this is the last time you ever embarrass me and this family!"

My brows creased, "Dad...what happened? What's going on?"

"You passed out, you moron! You decided to pull a disgraceful stunt on your wedding day! You know how important this is for the family. You knew how important this is for your mother. But you think you could get away from it somehow, didn't you?"

The memories came flooding back. I looked down, realizing I was still in my wedding dress.

What the hell happened?

"You should be thankful to your husband," Dad said, and my brows shot up, recalling I was actually sitting a few inches beside Adams. My fingers clenched, bunching the fabric of my wedding dress.

"You should be thankful to him. He was prepared for a scenario like this. He brought the marriage papers, just in case. And since you weren't in a stable condition to sign them. As your only legal guardian now, I've signed on your behalf."

What?

"Dad, this...this was a mistake. I..." The car increased its speed, and I felt my heart beat faster than usual. 

Adams was the groom. Adams Black is my.... husband!?

This was not happening. I'd rather die than be with someone like him a moment longer.

I couldn't breathe. I couldn't even bring myself as much as turning to stare at him for a moment.

"But..Dad...what about..what about Mother? I was supposed to see her before I left. You promised, Dad!"

He scoffed, "After what you did? Do you really think you deserve to see your mother now? Just so you know, she is awake and fine now. Have a happy married life, Sienna."

"No! Please. Dad, I just need to see her one last time. Please, you promised..."

Beep.

The line went dead.

The car was deadly silent. And suddenly very hot. My breath was coming out in fast sharp gasps, as I stared at the phone with an open mouth.

My trembling hands dialed his number again, but it went straight to voicemail.

No....

A hand flew to my mouth, muffling my cries, as tears fell down my cheeks.

I was never seeing my mother again. No, this wasn't happening. This can't be.

"Are you Okay, Sienna?" 

I froze. Held my breath, as the deep voice reverberated through the space between us. Through me. 

I let my eyes stare out the window at the other side, as my fingers clenched around the phone. I never thought I would ever get to see him again. I had always wanted to pay him back in "kind" for ruining my life.

And now...now I am married to him? Was this a fucking joke? A setup?

"Sienna.." he whispered, and I felt his fingers on my chin, slowly turning my head towards him, and I whirled around, my palms reaching forwards, and with everything in me, I smacked him across the face.

He stared at me for a moment longer, but I was fuming, trying so hard to prevent the tears.

That wasn't enough for the heartbreak he had caused me in school.

Smack!

My palm reached out again on the same cheek, and this time, his eyes widened in shock.

That wasn't nearly enough for taking my virginity and letting my son live with total strangers just because I couldn't afford to care for him.

Smack!

That would never be enough for what happened to my mother. It was all his fault. It was all his fault my life was a mess. He didn't deserve anything good.

"How dare you come back into my life, you bastard? How dare you show your stinking face in front of me! You're no longer ashamed of me? You don't find me irritating anymore?" My fists punched at his chest, arms, face and anywhere I could reach as lashed out at him.

"How dare you, Adams!? How.....Let go of me!!!" 

"Calm down, Sienna!" His large hands held mine in a fist, not letting me move further, but I was not having it. 

For years, I had hoped never to cross paths with him ever again. I had hoped I didn't get to see his face ever again, but no, he just had to plan a marriage between us. 

"Please, Sienna. Calm down!"

"Who the fuck do you think you are, Adams!? Huh? Who the hell do you think you are to...

And those bastard's tears chose that moment to cascade down my cheeks. My body became a wracking mess, as the painful memories came flooding in.

My babies face stared back at me, the last time I held them in my arms. I was a bawling mess on the hospital bed as I finally handed them over to the foster parents. 

If only I hadn't been so foolish and reckless In high school. If only I hadn't been expelled from school, then maybe, maybe I would have gotten to keep my babies. Of course, Mother would have given me all her support if she had been well. 

But I jeopardized it all. He messed me up.

I quickly jerked away when I realized I was sobbing on his chest, and then I began to hit the door.

"Stop the car. Right now!" 

I tried to open it forcefully, but it didn't budge.

"Sienna, please just listen to me. I.. I'm sorry...." 

"Don't you dare!" I pointed a finger at him in a warning. His eyes stared back at me, soft but unrelenting.

There was a hint of vulnerability in them but I was done being foolish with him.

"I'm not the same girl you bullied years ago, Adams. I do not give a fuck what you plan to achieve with this, but right now, I am not going anywhere with you, until I get to see my mother!"

My eye caught something shiny on my fingers and when I saw the diamond ring resting on them, I gasped.

Without thinking, I snatched it off my fingers and threw it at his face.

"To hell with this and whatever you think will happen between us!" 

I know I was being quite irrational at the moment, but goodness, I couldn't breathe properly with him around me.

It was suffocating. Intense, and his stupid cologne was messing with my head.

"Sienna...." His voice was low this time, but shaky with emotion as he called my name.

I closed my eyes and took in a deep breath, steadying my nerves. Just when I was about to hit the door and yell at them to stop the car, I felt hands on my waist, and I was yanked towards him.
