Trapped

She quickly put her dominant hand open, thumb pointing at her chin and fingers pointing up

I smiled so widely and nodded at her,

She was saying to me that I'm looking so beautiful

But, my smile fell when I looked at the front, my insides started tickling my stomach, I think I'm going to faint here

Zuriel, why the hell he's having this much effect on me, I was supposed to hate that man, from the depth of my heart then why the hell, my breath stops whenever his brown eyes met mine, even butterflies started tingling inside of me, making my body was trembling so badly

I saw his eyes that smolder with intensity, making my knees went wobble, even I can feel my mouth flooding with moisture, but soon his eyes hardened when he saw Ivaan beside me, he called at Ivaan, and I looked aside Ivaan jaw is clenched with a sneer

I am sure I'm missing something, I mean the way they both are glaring at each other while looking like just they will break each other's bones

But, can be it's possible, I mean they both're strangers, then how come they already have so much of hate for each other, and that day of the party also, when Zuriel was threatening me, he even told me that he will destroy Ivaan's career

What does he mean by that, the way he took the name of Ivaan, a weird strange feeling comes into me the time that he hates my Brother

But most importantly, Why!

I think they both are not strangers, they both know each other

And, I also find Ivaan arguing with my Uncle, his dad

Why, and I noticed something, Ivaan never liked his father, they both become very distant from each other and why, I mean when I was small, that time he doesn't have any problem with his dad, and hereafter returned from San Francisco, I find this all

He is constantly arguing with his dad and all

I'm sure something must have happened here, which I don't know

I have so many questions with me with no answers

I was startled when a hand touched my waist

I looked at Zuriel, we were already on alter, and Priest was about to start the vows

My breath stopped or almost catches in my throat, why the hell I'm feeling so weird and strange today

It's not like I have something for this devil, standing in front of me

Soon to be my husband

"I hate you," I murmured to him, slowly so that only he can hear me

I gasped a little when he tightened his hold on my waist,

"Oh, it's not like I'm dying for you to love me, trust me I've seen many other girls, far far better than you," he whispered towards my ear

Was this really happening? Will I soon be Mrs. Richardson? But only for the world, I know in what I'm throwing myself by this loveless wedding

The minister said to guests, “You can now be seated”. All the guests with our family followed the request

“Dearly beloved,” he began, “we are gathered here this evening to witness this man and woman join together in holy matrimony.”

In the name of God, will you Mr.Zuriel Richardson take the Brielle Ashby to be your wife, to have and to hold from this day forward, it for better, for worse, for richer, for poorer, in sickness and in health, to love and to cherish until you are parted by death.

"I do," Zuriel's words rang in my ears, making my heart pounding wildly like it will come out from my chest

I just don't know what was happening around me, all I can feel is my ears getting so hot like I was near the fire

I closed my eyes "I do,"

Roohi comes forward came forward and presented the rings.

She smiled cheekily and looked at me passing me thumbs up, I smiled forcefully at her, only if she knows what I'm going through

I placed Zuriel's ring on first, then he placed it on mine.

"Now did anyone have any objections with this marriage," he asked looking at guests

Please ask me instead, I have a problem with this marriage, I'm almost married to this man now

I glared at Zuriel, whose face is devoid of any emotions very cold

No one said anything and he turned towards us,

"Since..,

Before he can speak

"stop this marriage," my head snapped towards the source of the voice with everyone

I gasped and blinked rapidly when I saw, who it is

It's lucas

"This marriage can't happen, because this women," lucas said pointing at me and I felt so speachless

What the hell, he was trying to do, my hands are literally itching not to beat the crap out of him in front of everyone

"Who let him in," Zuriel's Father, Mr.Jared Richardson, growled

Then, I saw some guards running inside, they are about to grab lucas but he went towards Zuriel's fahter

"Sir, I'm here to help you and your family from that characterless woman," he said looking at me, smirking

And my body froze at its place, I felt all the surroundings around me getting blurred, voices around me suddenly get stopped

Zuriel's mom covered her mouth by her hand, wide-eyed while Mr.Richardson looked at me shaking his head

"What the hell you're saying," I growled at him

"What, did I say anything wrong, oh wait, I was in ate that day in the club, I forgot to ask you, did you like our lovemaking night at the club," he smirked

Now my hands clenched into fists, my blood seems to be rushing through my veins, I was about to go towards him to give him peace of mind but I freeze at my place when he stumbled and falls backward as someone punched him so hard

The thing which makes any eyes wide is it's Zuriel, he's the one who punched him

"How dare you to call her characterless and how dare you to insult her," he growled and grabbed his collar

Pressing a fist to the mouth, I looked at Zuriel, I blinked again is this is true

Is Zuriel, is really fighting for me, for my honor , I rubbed my eyes as if to reaffirm what I'm seeing

Taking shaky breaths, I keep looking at Zuriel

I never in my wildest dreams ever thought that Zuriel will ever do something for me seeing his past behaviour with me, I thought he will be very happy seeing me getting tainted and embraced but here

Everything went opposite, Zuriel was actually fighting for me, to have me form embracemet

"Wait, leave me, I have proof," Lucas cried out and quickly get away form Zuriel's grip byt before Zuriel can go and grab him again

Lucas quickly ran away towards Mr.Jared Richardson, Zuriel's dad pulled out some pictures from his pocket to show him.

"See the reality of this characterless girl," he said to Zuriel's dad and glanced at me, with a side smirk.
