All Chapters of An Unwilling Union: Chapter 11 - Chapter 20

Aurelia's POV Gina and Opal had helped me get acquainted with my new crutches, Diane had tried to force me to stay in bed but there was no way I was going to lie in bed when Judah was coming home for dinner. I cleaned myself up and dressed in a simple olive off-shoulder dress that reached my calves. I did my hair up in a simple bun and waited in the kitchen with Diane."I don't know why you decided to put yourself through all this stress, you should be lying comfortably in that bed and letting us take care of you but no, you're here in the kitchen," Diane grumbled as she stirred the food she was cooking."Until I go insane, right? Diane, I can't stand being alone right now, I'm in pain, I need to be distracted." She twisted her lips and focused on her food. "You look good, I've never seen you dress up like this for dinner. What happened to your comfy t-shirt and sweatpants?" Diane raised an eyebrow, I swiftly looked down at my phone."Dress up, please, I just threw this one. I can't

Judah's POV"What do you mean you can't accept it? This is a black card, it's very rare and expensive. It will get you anywhere you need to go and anything you need to buy." I waved the envelope in front of her. "I know but I have my own money, I don't need yours. It might not be that much but it's okay. I don't feel comfortable taking money from you." Who the hell was this woman, most women would jump at the opportunity to spend my money and she was rejecting it. I was beginning to get a migraine, which was now a usual thing for me ever since I married Aurelia. She was probably just playing hard to get.I drew in a deep breath and let it out. " Aurelia, I'm your husband, it's my duty to provide for you, I have a lot of money and it's not going to finish just because you went out and bought something you like. So take the card and use it, if I find out you don't use the card, I'm going to be pissed and you don't want to know what happens when I'm pissed." She hesitated for a minute

Aurelia's POV" Excuse me, could you repeat what you said?" I wasn't sure I heard him properly." I said we're having dinner at my parents' house. My mom didn't let me breathe all through my trip, she found out I had gotten married and was very angry. They are demanding to meet you so please do your best not to embarrass me." Judah turned and walked out of the room. I froze. What the heck had just happened? "Diane, did you hear what I just heard?" I turned to look at her.She wiped her hands and gave me a sympathetic pat on the back."I did. There's no time to start deciphering his words, you only have an hour to get ready. You're meeting your in-laws for the time, you have to look your best. And no, I'm not saying this because of what Mr Bianco said, it will be better for you if they like you." I hurried out of the kitchen and up the stairs to my room. I took a shower and had to look for what to wear, I settled on a short patterned wrap dress with red platform heels. I did my hair

Aurelia's POVThe air in the room changed as Judah pushed back from the staircase and headed towards me, I saw the fire in his eyes and I quivered. Not wanting to show fear, I stood my ground and waited until he stood in front of me. His right hand grabbed my waist and drew me closer to him while his left hand gripped my face, tinting it up. I drew in a sharp breath, scared for my life."You have quite a loud mouth on you. Tsk, tsk, what am I going to do about this mouth." I kept quiet, our bodies were pressed against each other and I didn't dislike it. I could smell his scent, a perfect blend of his cologne and spice. "You can't say anything anymore, what happened to that chatterbox? What happened to little Miss I need to know everything." His voice went low and his eyes darkened. His hand left my chin and went down to my neck, he traced a line from my thought down to the little plunge that my neckline gave. He left my neckline and gripped the knot where I tied my dress."I coul

Aurelia's POVHe grabbed my shoulder and pulled me against him. The butt of the gun was pressed to my head. It happened so fast that I didn't have enough time to react. The room went silent for a second then people started to scream, cry and hide."Everybody shut the fuck up. I said give me all your money or she fucking dies." He growled, I was shaking in my boots, this was a soup kitchen for God's sake, the people here were poor, where was he expecting them to get money?"Excuse me, please just let me go. I know you want money but these people come here because they have no money. Please let me go, I'll give you some money. Don't hurt anyone." I begged him, my eyes welled with tears. "Shut the fuck up. I'm not here for these lowlifes, I know a rich person is sponsoring the kitchen, you guys have money. You," He pointed the gun at Emilia, " get all the money I need." Emilia was shaking and crying, she couldn't move."I'm talking to you, I will blow her brains out!" He pressed the gun
