SELENA POV

His hands tightened on my arms as the lady stared at us. It felt like he was trying to snap it into. I tug against his hold, trying not to wince at the strength he applied. He looks down at me before reducing the pressure. His grip was still firm. It was like a constant reminder that he owned me in a way.

"What's going on here?" The lady stared at both of us curiously. The tension in the room was stifling.

He suddenly smiled boyishly"what do you mean. I can't have fun with my wife" he answered, pulling me closer

" Well of course you can...but...I mean.... you didn't tell any of us that you had any girlfriend at the moment and next thing we know is your marriage all over the news". She said and looked at me as if to say "no offense".

I was too scared to react to her outburst and this closeness with Andrei did something to me. Tingly feelings traveled up my arms at where he gently caressed, spreading an itch through my skin. My stomach quivered as he suddenly leaned in to press a soft kiss on my shoulder.

"Well as you see dear sister, it was a rushed affair. I was so smitten with her that I could wait no longer to have her all to myself," he said smoothly like that was the real reason he was doing all this.

His eyes suddenly collided with mine"Right babe?"

I was shocked for a moment"what...I mean right. I really couldn't wait to get married" I forced out with a bright smile. I also don't know why I feel relieved that she is his sister and not an ex. Or a mistress.

She stares at me until I looked away. It was like she was trying to look into my soul. It was intrusive, nothing I liked at all.

Andrei cleared his throat." you really should let newly Weds have their weekend of bliss before you start interrupting sister".

" You didn't invite me for your wedding..... Do you know how long I've been waiting for my big brother's wedding? And I wasn't even invited" she pouts. I am glad when he leaves my side to go to her. His overwhelming proximity had been messing with my brain, causing a foreign feeling in the pit of my stomach.

"Well I am sorry baby sis...like I said everything was rushed" he murmured and patted her hair gently. That immediately seemed to pacify her because she was smiling and holding up two shopping bags.

"I got you both present" she squealed bouncing a little. I force a smile on my face as Andrei's eyes caught mine.

I go towards her, collecting the gifts. Everything inside the bag looked expensive.

"Thank you so much. You shouldn't have bothered"

" Oh, sweaty don't be so modest..." She gazed at my face as if to memorize it. "You're really pretty, no wonder you got my brother hooked," she said turning to glare at Andrei a little. He chuckled at her.

It had me wondering if this was the same brutal man I had come to know during my years of working for him. If he was the same guy that used a knife on me just some minutes back.

"Just to give you a heads-up Andrei, you'll be getting lots of visitors today and more presents so don't scare them off. They just want to wish you well" she said all serious.

" I won't. I promise"

"And keep her happy ok," she said suddenly turning to face me. I quickly put my hand to my neck to cover the part that was stained in blood. I smile warmly.

"You know I would" he assures in a cool voice with genuine eyes that could fool even a hard-headed person.

She hugs him then pats his back softly before letting go.

"Ok, I have to get to work. Don't worry Selena, I'll be back and then you'll tell me how this beast managed to woo you into marrying him" she joked.

" Well, it's a very peculiar story..." I said, giving Andrei a knowing look. The glare Andrei gave me at my little snide comment could kill.

"I bet it is.....ok, I'll go now and leave you two alone to get back to what you were doing. No nasties ok, don't let him turn you into a freak" she warns, giggling as she walked out of the kitchen.

Devil Andrei was back immediately and he stalked towards me as if he wanted me to know the difference between us. He was tall, had wide shoulders and he worked out. His lean build still managed to corner me without him even trying.

He kept coming towards me, holding my gaze the whole time.

"S--stop" I managed.

"What were you trying to pull with my sister Selena. Andria is delicate and I will not tolerate you upsetting her" he warned.

" Wow, who would have thought Andrei Marko could care for anyone but himself seeing how such a selfish egoistic bastard...."I didn't get to finish as his hand went around my neck. I was shoved back into the counter as he towered over me. He applies pressure to his tight grip and I panicked, my eyes widening. This was starting to become a routine... Deja vu shit.

He let go so suddenly I was surprised. He looked super mad.

"I will not tolerate you defying my rules ok. This should be the last time you use such a tone with me". He advises, but I don't like him warning me.

His eyes dare me to speak. I keep mute. I'll choose my battles more wisely " yes sir".

"Good," he said staring at me intensely. He doesn't school his features enough, letting his surprise to my obedience show. It puts him on edge when I do what he says, I guess he prefers me fighting. His eyes shifted down my lips and the heat that flared in me amazes me. It was like a ball of fiery flame erupted in my head, melting everything inside and making me feel a little dizzy at the sensation. I was going insane. I could not believe I was feeling this way for my father's murderer. His hand suddenly touched my neck tentatively and I flinch in panic

"Don't touch me" I slapped his hands off and he's angry again. He grabs my shoulder tightly.

"You do not tell me not to touch you. You know why? Because it just makes me want to touch you more. I love having what am told not to. It's more thrilling than when it is willingly offered".

My eyes widened as I saw the seriousness in his eyes and words.

"You are my property Selena and I'll do whatever I please with you, whenever it pleases me to do so" he threatened and I just stare. I need to end this before it gets too late. I needed a new plan. Something that wouldn't backfire. I was up against Andrei Marko and these new foreign feelings were not helping me at all. It was absurd, but I wanted him to lean in and claim my mouth again, wanted him to touch me like I was his property. It was all wrong! All shades of wrong!!.
