Chapter 54: His Anger

He carried me in the car as if I was going to run away and made me sit over his lap, wrapping his hands around my waist. He took my shivering hands in his and pressed over his lips, kissing a few times, but he failed to calm my terrified soul.

“My Snowflake, look here.” He held my chin up to face him. Tears rolled down my cheeks as I closed my eyes, not wanting to look at him anymore.

“How many times I have to tell you, don’t shed those precious pearls? It makes me weak.” The desperation in his voice broke out. A long suppressed sob, making my condition worse. He hugged my trembling figure, roaming his hands through my hairs.

“Don’t hide those honey brown pools from me. My chest tightens every time I see them close, holding moisture.” He was making it difficult to breathe. His words had already broken my morals.

“Why?” I coughed as the words came out of my deserted throat. He looked around for a bottle of water, throwing orders over the guards who were sitting in the front seat. My breathing eased as the droplets of water drenched everything in its path.

“Shuu calm down. I have told you before, whether we get married, it will change nothing between us. You were always the queen of this empire. I just made it official. What’s wrong with it?” Curing my fate, I looked at his hopeful eyes. He had already started dreaming of our future together. There was nothing wrong from his perspective. It’s just he wasn’t aware of what he lost.

“Look, I have something for you. I wanted to give you yesterday after your confession, but you shocked me and it remained.” He squeezed me in his embrace, bringing me closer than before and brought out a pink diamond studded pistol from his suit coat.

“How is it? I will teach you how to use it, ok?” I rested my head over his chest and closed my eyes. I can’t take this anymore. My headache increased with his gift. Who gave a diamond studded gun to him?–. My mind blocked my thoughts. Who was I to him? A girlfriend? A mistress or a wife now? Was I even married to him?

He tucked me in him and stroked my back. He was cleaning my cheeks periodically, yet my tears weren’t under control. My mind was blocked by what happened to me. I could even differ. What was it?

The car stopped, and we headed towards the house. Rows and rows of guards were kneeling in front of the home and I was forced to walk in with the custom made gun he gifted me. He picked me up and headed towards his bedroom.

“Why did you do that?” I yelled as soon as he closed the bedroom door. I get down from his arms, pushing him farther.

“Don’t you regret the death of Aria?” His face turned stoic pale, and he stared at me with disbelief.

“You loved her, Arius. Is it so easy to forget your love for her, as if she doesn’t matter to you at all?” His rapid breathing concerned me, but my lost control pushed me away from the reason for my consciousness.

“I don’t care about the bitch you saw dead in church, and I married the girl who was born to be mine.” I backed away as he tried to take a step towards me.

“For god’s sake, stop this nonsense of Arias. Today, I can’t recognize myself because of you. I can’t understand what the hell is happening around me. What the hell is going on with me?” I yelled, struggling to hold my composure steady.

“I can’t understand you… your heart…” He rushed to hold my crushing figure and embraced me, gazing tenderly into my eyes.

“Your morals were coming in the way of mine, right? I corrected it today. You are my legally married wife now. You are the queen of this empire now.” He caressed my face. I strained myself and pushed me away from me with all potential strength, making him take a few steps back.

“Your wife? I want to die now.” I screamed, lashing out my anger at him. He trembled significantly, and his demeanor changed from Romeo to the devilish shades.

“Never forget that you are mine. Your life is only mine. I am your husband.” He roared at me while brushing my arm in his death grip, pulling me towards him. I was controlling my tears with great effort, struggling to get free, and didn’t want to show him he has power over me, over my heart.

“I don’t believe in such marriages. I didn’t say ‘ I do’. We are not married. Let me go.” I asked while building my fake courage in front of him. Can’t believe I loved this bastard so much that my heart only beat after his, but what did he do? Hiding so many things from me made me stand in front of his betrayal.

I tried to push him, placing my hands over his chest, but he gripped my jaw in his hand. His eyes showered with rage, and then his lips crashed on mine with brutal force, biting my lips and drawing blood. He suffocated me in his life sucking kiss, tears started rolling down my cheeks, but he didn’t let me take a breath until he was sure that I couldn’t continue further.

Struggling to steal a breath from his grasp, I tilted my head up. His anger filled eyes were replaced with psychotic calmness. His rapid breaths were mingling with mine, showing his dominance over me, as they are reminding me I am his from now onwards. Scaring me with my.

reality, making me run from my escalated, beating heart, wanting me to push and pull him at the same time.

“I have already proved that your heart belongs to me. Haven’t I tesero? (treasure)” He dragged his finger on my face at a slow pace, his lips brushing mine at his every word. I nodded as I remembered how he did that. His hand moved from my face to my neck and then my cleavage. Tears were streaming from my eyes.

“I don’t need your permission to marry you. I rule here. Anyway, I won’t let you forget I am your husband.” He grabbed my waist in his large hand and pulled me towards him, his hand roaming on my back. A screeching sound thundered throughout the room, making me scream at his move. He tore my dress with his bare hand and with a jerk, he picked me up and started walking towards bed.

“Are you going to force yourself on me?” Just a thought about it terrified me. He stopped walking and turned his head towards me and smirked.

“Tesoro, As now you are officially mine, you are mine to protect, mine to care, mine to adore, mine to torture and mine to break.” He held his sinister smile, which shivered my soul. He answered with a devilish smirk, holding on his lips while nuzzling his face in my neck, smelling my skin with a lustful breath, sucking me, biting my neck.

I could never understand him. I can see the care in his eyes for me, but he doesn’t know how to show it without hurting me or my feelings. Within the blink of an eye, I found both of us naked on his bed. He just said to me, he will not force me, then what he is doing?

“Please, not today.” I requested, while controlling my tears.

“You need a lot of energy to hear what your father-in-law is going to tell you tomorrow.” He responded by kissing my bosom and dragging his lips until he reached my lips. With that, he pulled my naked body on top of his, laying over the mattress. I resisted, but he jerked to me, wrapping his both hands around my waist tightly.

“Well, where do you want to go for our honeymoon, my wife?” He sucked my neck. There was a mischievous tone buried in it.

“No, where.”

“Alright, it doesn’t matter where we spend our time. Ultimately, I will be inside you regardless of any place, but call me my husband.” He pressed my face into his neck with his demand. I slept to get prepared for another shock coming in my life to scatter me, my dreams, my expectations, my fate, my existence. I need to accept reality. Arius has become my reality now. I don’t know where my life is leading me. But I know it’s gonna destroy my heart for sure.

You can’t change what happened, Elena, but you loved this man and you know, hating him will be the last thing you can do for him. You loved him, and he is your husband now. I can never take the place of Aria in his heart, but I will definitely try to help him forget the pain of her death from his life.
