"GET. UP!"Aurora rose quickly, her fingers smoothing down the contours of her dress as her gaze met his. The faint sheen of sweat adorned her palms, her heart lodged in her throat, a palpable tension lingering in the charged air between them."Now that you've taken on the title of Mrs. Xavier Knight, does that magically transform you into my fucking wife? Well, let me make it clear—you're not, and you never will be," Xavier's voice oozed with venom, a furious torrent of defiance. As he concluded his tirade, he fixed his intense gaze on her, anticipating a reaction. Yet, Aurora stood like a statue, her silence and stoic expression concealing her emotions.Aurora's plea, "Y-your wrong, I n-never w-wanted...," her words hung in the air, a desperate plea for mercy.Xavier's fury roared to life as he unleashed a torrent of anger, his voice reaching a crescendo, making the very walls of the room tremble. "Never wanted what.. Huh?" His voice thundered louder, vibrating with unrestrained rag
A bitter smile tugged at the corners of Xavier's lips as he continued his verbal assault, his words cutting through the air like shards of glass. Each syllable seemed designed to inflict maximum pain, to degrade her worth and tarnish her dignity."I can give you money," he sneered, his voice dripping with contempt. "I understand the plight of girls like you. Greedy and needy, with no shred of self-respect. Willing to warm anyone's bed for a few coins, ready to sell their dignity for a price."Aurora felt a surge of crimson heat flood her face in response to his repugnant accusation. A tumultuous blend of humiliation and anger churned within her, the weight of his words pressing down like an unbearable burden, threatening to shatter her spirit. Despite the crushing impact, she met his gaze with eyes that brimmed with a potent mix of hurt and defiance, determined to defy the degrading narrative he was trying to impose."I d-don't w-want your m-money," Aurora declared, her voice steady a
Xavier settled himself on a nearby couch, spreading his legs in a display of dominance. His gaze remained fixed on her, a silent storm brewing behind his intense stare. The room grew heavy with an oppressive silence as he contemplated his next move, his expression morphing into something more sinister than before. Aurora gingerly rubbed her sore elbows, wincing at the stinging sensation, while her tears flowed uncontrollably, betraying her overwhelming emotions.Every fiber of her being trembled with vulnerability as she faced this daunting figure before her. The air crackled with tension, and she couldn't help but wonder what he was plotting in that twisted mind of his. His menacing eyes seemed to pierce through her, holding her captive in a web of uncertainty and fear. In that moment, Aurora felt utterly defenseless, at the mercy of a man whose intentions remained shrouded in darkness.Xavier's gaze briefly darted to the scratches on her elbows, a flicker of remorse stirring within
Xavier's frustration reached its boiling point as he paced back and forth, struggling to rein in his simmering rage. The knock on the door interrupted his restless movements, causing him to abruptly halt. With a swift stride, he stormed towards the door and forcefully swung it open, the air crackling with tension."Of all the unlucky days... Wasn't my humiliation enough to scare you away?" Xavier muttered, his eyes locked on his drenched wife. A sardonic smile danced on his lips as he continued, "But then again, I never expected to get rid of you that easily."Meeting her gaze, he said nothing more, but instead seized her hand, yanking her inside with a forceful pull that echoed through the air. The door slammed shut with a resounding bang, amplifying the intensity of their charged encounter."Step right into your new domain, Mrs. Knight," he sneered, his voice carrying a venomous undertone. He took a calculated step back, his hands sweeping out to present the grandeur of the penthous
With an abrupt, powerful grip, Xavier seized her arm, propelling her toward his sleek car.Xavier scolded her, his voice laced with displeasure. "I thought I told you to stay in the car.""I a-apologize" she stuttered. "I n-needed some f-fresh air. Is e-everything a-alright?" Her question hung in the air, laden with anxiety, as she looked back at Alex who stood helplessly watching the scene unfold"None of your fucking business" Xavier replied, as his eyes bore into her with an intense glare.There was an urgent intensity in his movements as he forcibly guided her into the backseat, the leather cold against her skin. Aurora's voice quivered with fear as she tried to make her case, her words trembling as she pleaded for understanding and a chance to explain the situation that had landed her in this bewildering scenario."W-what's w-wrong? P-please. I d-don't know w-what I've d-done b-but I'm s-sorry... p-please..." she cried, her words interrupted by hiccups.He forcefully shoved her i
A sudden, unexpected knock on the car window jolted both Xavier and Aurora, making them startle in their seats. Their nerves were already frayed from the evening's turmoil, and the sound only intensified their unease.Seconds later, a familiar figure, Alex, emerged from the shadows. He stood outside the car, his presence adding an additional layer of complexity to the already tense situation. He patiently waited for Xavier to acknowledge him, aware of the simmering emotions beneath the surface.Xavier, with a sigh that conveyed his annoyance, reluctantly lowered the window. Their gazes met, and the silent tension between them was palpable. The confined space of the car seemed to hold its breath, waiting for what would transpire next.Under the overcast sky, Alex's voice sliced through the tense atmosphere inside the car. His request held an urgent tone, leaving no room for Xavier to decline. He leaned in closer, determined to make his point."Buddy, a word!" Alex's words conveyed a sen
Thomas stood alone, his mind consumed by sinister thoughts. The wedding had served its purpose, securing the coveted deal he had longed for. But now, his focus shifted to a darker objective—to eliminate Aurora before she reached her twenty-first birthday, just five months away. With her married, her inheritance would be within his grasp. Thomas couldn't be certain if Sandra's manipulative efforts had successfully turned Xavier against Aurora. He knew he needed to devise a more concrete plan to solidify the doubts he had planted.Lost in his scheming thoughts, Thomas's gaze roamed the manicured lawns and zeroed in on Xavier as he emerged from the venue hall, an aura of frustration and discontent radiating from him. It appeared to be an ideal moment for Thomas to sow the seeds of doubt and anger into Xavier's already troubled mind.Thomas desperately searched for a way to keep Xavier at a distance from Aurora. He had witnessed Xavier's disdain during the vows, sensing his strong aversio
Xavier's gaze involuntarily kept drifting back to his so called wife, though the word itself left a bitter taste in his mouth. How swiftly his life had transformed within a mere week. Doubt gnawed at him—was her innocence genuine, or was she merely a masterful actress? He observed her engaging with Angela, even Alex seemingly enchanted by her presence. "Traitor, I thought he was supposed to be on my side!" he whispered under his breath, a tinge of resentment surfacing.Xavier's train of thought was abruptly interrupted by his father's voice. "She's a genuinely nice girl, and once you get to know her, I believe you'll see her in a different light."Xavier shook his head, frustration etched on his face. "Don't you think I should have had the opportunity to know her before being forced into this marriage?""I understand son...""Do you, really? Because from where I stand, I've been coerced—oops, forgive me—I mean, threatened into marrying a woman whom I've only met today."William attempt
Xavier's exasperation reached its peak as his gaze fell upon the wedding planner, who was hastily approaching them. A low curse escaped his lips, catching Aurora off guard as she flinched."Photos, you two!" the wedding planner exclaimed with unwavering determination, guiding them to a corner where her camera equipment was neatly arranged.Xavier seethed, his frustration palpable. "Will this fucking nightmare never end?" he muttered in annoyance, the intensity of his irritation making Aurora jump slightly."Do I look like I give a shit about photos? Xavier seethed"Mr Knight I....""Look, lady I don't have fucking time for this, so get lost!" Xavier seethed, irritation.Casandra didn't seem taken aback at all. She maintained her calm demeanor, her response unwavering. "I'm sorry, but no can do. William said you were a bit camera shy, although I do remember a little while back on this one magazine...," she began, hinting at Xavier's past. His gaze turned to ice"Now, shall we begin, or
