“Armiz!!” “What the…” “Armiz… look what he did,” “What..?” My eyes widened. My brother wouldn’t believe that I would ever fathom hurting Albert, right?“Albert.. Our baby… why did you kill my son…?!” “Go and search for him. Now!” Armiz panicked, breathless while hugging Melissa, motioning to other members who ran and left us alone as I stared.I was too stunned to react.This wasn’t reality, right? “Don’t- Don’t be ridiculous, Melissa-” “All because you wanted me! You killed my child and laid hands on your own brother’s mate…? Where was your dignity?” She shouted, resting her head on his shoulder.And in a heartbeat, Armiz found it hard to believe but her condition… won over my tears. With a shaky, teary mess, I shook my head in denial as he converted his flabbergasted stare into a resentful glare.My brother, for the first time, looked at me with disgust and it stole words from my tongue.“He came to know Albert wasn’t actually yours and got rid of him… when you accepted him
“I don’t want this, I said, I don’t want this!”With tears glistening in my sapphire eyes, my miserable voice echoed in the room, only to receive a glare from my mother.“Shut up, Eliana, do you have any idea what the hell are you saying!? Tomorrow is your wedding and that is final.” She growled, pushing me away.She refused to listen as we were being forced. My ex-boyfriend, Kyle, was threatening me to marry him.And I couldn’t… because my heart belongs to someone else.“Please, try to understand, Mama, I can’t!”“Why!?”My black hair was messy, scattered over my back as I shook my head in denial, refusing to bind my life with a man I no longer loved.It was all forced and unwanted on my side. I didn’t want this!“I can’t do this, please, don’t do this to me, Mama,” Whispering weakly, I wiped my gleaming tears and pleaded with her yet it was unheard. My tears or anger had no effect. They were determined to make me marry Kyle which I didn’t want at all cost, not when my feelings fo
The next day, dressed as a bride forcefully, I was holding my mother’s arm desperately. “Mama, I will do anything you say, don’t make me marry Kyle,”“Do you think I want that? We have no choice, my love. Look at your father, only you can save him.” She sighed, frowning when I was not moving an inch as she secured the veil over my head.I wanted them to listen, to understand that he wasn’t the man I wanted. In fact, the one I truly desired was the person who forced me to say yes.Why couldn’t he notice my love? My feelings for him? Why make me marry Kyle when I didn’t want to?“Please…” I whimpered, clutching my chest due to pain and enhancing that sting, he entered with his cold front. Wow, so he had dressed up for my fucking wedding too.Unbothered expressions, wearing all black shirt and pants accompanied by a waistcoat and well combed hair to look eye-catching.My jaw clenched, glaring at him through the reflection which he obviously ignored and asked Mother.“Are you guys read
“I pronounce you as the husband and wife. You may now kiss the bride,”What the fuck did just happen in a moment? I… got married… to someone else?No, no, no…My body shivered at the declaration. My eyes went wide from heartache, mouth gaped. A strong rush of pain traveled, turning me incapable of reacting.“I was dying for this moment, you are finally all mine now, Mrs. Hudson,”I stood like a statue when he lifted my veil and without a warning pressed his lips upon mine. I didn’t kiss back, it was cold, it was horrible.I hated the way those lips moved upon mine, satisfying his carving following by a tear of defeat because-My love lost. My feelings lost. I lost.After the undesirable kiss, we pulled away. I wiped my lips which Kyle noticed but he was too exhilarated and decided to ignore it. “Please take care of my daughter,” Mother wept, hugging me while I stood dead inside.“I know I took a wrong approach but I will try my best to redeem my mistake,” Kyle grinned, placing his h
‘Look where the desire to have you left me in my life..? I just wanted you, Denzel. And you were the only person who left me,’After eradicating his name from my heart and cruising his life for what he had done to me, I went back. It was crushing me, it was weighing too much on me. I wasn't mentally prepared to become a wife, not Kyle’s. It was never on my list and all of it was heavy for me but I was left with no choice. He had left me and whoever it would be now won’t make a difference.“Sorry, I am back,” I called, coming back to where he was waiting for me in his Rolce Royce, leaning against it while trying to convince my mother.“I promise I will be good- Done? Let’s go now,” Flashing his fake smile, he opened the door for me. I glared at him and turned back to Mother who gave me a pitiful look.What could it do? Nothing. “I want to see my father first,” I demanded seriously, getting in the car while he was setting my dress and grinned.“We are going there anyways,” I rolle
With a heavy pain on my chest, I started my married life where my consent didn’t matter, where my feelings were meaningless.What a pathetic bond…My eyes were cold, hands were empty, nothing to hold onto left anymore anyways. Everything had turned to dust. Submerged in my thoughts, I was hugging my knees on the bed with an empty side as my ‘husband’ came out after taking a shower, taking out his office attire.“Eliana, listen. I have to leave right now, I am sorry,” He spoke apologetically, hastily getting ready but I had zero concerns about that.“Look, I don’t mean to leave you after marriage but I have a really urgent meeting, I will be back soon.”He smiled sweetly, coming closer to kiss the top of my head before pulling away. Forming my lips in a thin line, I nodded. “It’s alright,”I failed to force a smile too…After he left, I dug my nail into my skin, jaw clenching. The sensation of his touch was unwanted. I didn’t want it to replace my mistakes, I wanted them to sting,
DENZEL’S POV:-‘I curse the day I saw you, Eliana. I should have killed you when I had the chance,’ I thought furiously, remembering that jinxed moment.FOUR YEARS AGOBeing the Alpha of the Crimson pack, I knew I had responsibilities and a stack of work over my head since my father died long ago in a fight.And unwillingly I became an Alpha at the age of twenty and for the past six years, I had kept my pack close and together. But, amid my duties and load, I had my partner, my beloved girlfriend Gizelle with me- which I knew was ‘not’ my mate.“You and I both know, Alpha, that woman you consider your lover is not your mate,” And following that news, a gypsy woman decided to pay me her visit, daring to speak nonsense about my pure bond with my beloved.“No matter how many times you mark her, it will be futile,” She smirked, deepening my frown about the comment.“And shall I assume you claim to know where my mate is?”Resting my one leg over the other, I kept my gaze unbothered and t
ELIANA’S POV:-When I was eighteen, we shifted away from the city.From our opulent apartment to a more posh, secluded area because my Father wanted us to live in a mansion.And here we were, shifting into an enormous mansion and me being clumsy, I broke the vase he got from China.“Come on, let’s treat that,” Mama sighed, helping me to stand and not deepen my wound.“God, when will you stop causing troubles, girl? You won't have your pocket money for this month so you know how to be careful next time,” Papa scolded, holding his head in frustration.He was already exhausted because of shifting and I pissed him off more. “Come on, Papa,” I whined but he shot a glare in my direction.“Shut up,”But then ended up sighing, holding his sides, he started searching for someone to treat my wound.“Now where is the first aid box?!”Seeing him this distressed almost made me chuckle. Ah, he was growing old, his patience level was dropping by each passing second.“Let’s take you inside,” Mama sm
