Episode 17
Arabella POV✨✨✨
I walked nervously into the room waiting for the time. We are not getting married like other couples but this nervousness still made my stomach cringe. To be honest, I don’t like this feeling at all.
“Arabella Dawson!” Here comes my happy-go-lucky bridesmaid.
“Wow, you look so stunning, amazing, beautiful, and perfect,” she said energetically like always which I get used to it.
“Thank you for that but babe, I’m so nervous right now,” I said to her signaling her to come closer, and she reached my hand.
“I know. I can see it clearly from your face.” She chirped, chuckling while looking at my face like the word ‘nervous’ was written clearly on my forehead.
“Don’t worry, everything will be fine soon,” she said reas-suringly. A sigh escaped my mouth.
“I don’t know how my life will change once I officially become Mrs. Duncan,” I spill out my worries.
“Chill, babe. He is a good guy. He will not do anything bad to you.”
“How do you know? You don’t even know him.”
“Women instinct,” she whispered. “From all your stories I know he won’t harm you and he did this to protect you from that monster,” she added in a serious tone.
“And de-ep down here,” she pointed at my heart, “I know you also believe that he is a good guy. Just admit it,” she continued.
“I don’t even know why he cares so much for my problem. We are a stranger, and he accepted dad’s idea for this marriage.
The truth is that he blackmailed me for this marriage and in exchange that he will keep Matt’s issue as a secret.”
“Correction, babe. Not blackmailed but he offered and you accepted it. So, it is a deal.” She said defending my so-called soon to be husband.
“And now you are on his side,” I sulked at her words.
“Oh, babe. I always stand on the right side.” I rolled my eyes at her which caused her to laugh.
“You will find out soon when you guys start to live together, spend more time together, honeymoon, cudd-ling, ma-king a baby-” My ears quic-kly catch her words.
“St©p. You are talking nons-en-se, Jess.” I covered her mouth with my hand, so she won’t utter any words. She put her hand up as surrender and I re-leased my hand.
Our conversation was interrupted by the knock on the door.
“Come in,” I responded.
“Ara, honey,” dad entered the room. “You are so sweet today,” he complimented, pu-lling me into a hvg, and patted my back. I felt warm in his embr@ce.
“Thanks, dad,” I said, accepting his sincere praise. The satisfaction and happiness were all over his face.
“It is the time,” dad said offered his arm to me. I nodded and placed my hand on dad’s arm.
“Let’s go,” I said and inhaled a de-ep breath. I glanced at Jess, and she nodded her head in return. She held the tail of my dress, and we stroll toward the aisle.
Every eye was on me and I felt my cheeks turned h0t and I could tell that it turned red. I don’t like to be the center of attention.
We agreed to have a pri-vate wedding in which only close family members and friends were invited. No reporter, paparazzi, and outsiders allowed for this event.
From afar, I saw my very soon to be husband stood in front of the stage with the priest waiting for the ceremony.
He had that prince charming look with his black-tailed tuxedo combined with silk and his hair was neatly combe-d, a white rose was placed on the left side of his tuxedo.
He stared at me intensely just as how I stared at him without me noticing it.
“Here, I entrust you, my lovely daughter.” Dad’s voice snapped back to reality as he placed my hand on Dom’s palm.
I could feel my nervousness rose which I’m not sure it was due to the attention of the guests or because of his intense gaze. He smiled at me and I returned nervously.
Dad took a seat beside mom who was in the first raw with Dom’s parents. The priest started to do the most important p@rt of today.
The priest did the blessing and joined our hand and asked the crucial question.
“Do you take Ms. Arabella Dawson as your lawful wife, to have and to hold, from this day forward, for better or for the worse, for richer or for poorer, in sickness and in health, to love and cherish until death do you ap@rt?”
“Yes, I do.” He said firmly with confidence, without any doubt. He stared into my eyes when he said those three magical words and it made my heart beat ra-pidly.
“Do you take Mr. Dominic Duncan as your lawful husband, to have and to hold, from this day forward, for better or for the worse, for richer or for poorer, in sickness and in health, to love and cherish until death do you ap@rt?”
I turned my face and looked at mom at dad. They smiled sweetly and nodded their head in unison as a sign of approval.
I turned my face to him and answered, “Yes, I do.” We heard the whistle and screams from the crowd.
“It is time to exchange the ring,” said the priest while Jess handed it to Dom and followed by me.
He sli-pped the ring to my f!nger to which I did the same to him. He intertwined our hands and this time I just let it pas-s.
“You are now officially husband and wife. You can k!ssyour bride.” The priest declared, causing me to blus-h and the crowd cheers for us. I want to say ‘no’ but I know I can’t do that in front of the public.
“k!ssher! k!ssher! k!ssher!” They encouraged him to take the action which caused him to chuckle.
I felt his hand cu-mpped my face and make me stare at him. “I will protect you every moment. I promise,” he whispered before placed a de-ep k!sson myl-ips. All the guests cheered happily for us.
Dominic POV✨✨✨
I knew she was nervous, so I tried to calm her down. I ru-bbe-d the back of her hand that I hold ti-ghtly in my palm. I could hear the voices from the crowd urged me to k!ssher.
I cu-mpped her face and made her eyes on me before I captured herl-ips with a de-ep k!ss.
“You are b!tt!g yourl-ips,” I whispered after the k!ss. Her cheeks are red due to the shyness.
“You can k!ssme on my cheek or forehead,” she whispered throu-gh her gritted teeth while maintained her smile since we were still on the stage.
“I’m an opportunist,” I reminded her. I intertwined our hands, and we walked down to meet our family and friends. Everyone congratulated us with their wishes, k!sses, and hvgs.
After that, everyone enjoys the event to the fullest. I felt relieved and happy with the ceremony today and from now we are officially husband and wife.
My next mission is to make her attach to me physically, emotionally, and mentally. Greedy much? Indeed.
Episode 18
Arabella POV✨✨✨
“Dominic Duncan, we alre-ady agreed on this!” I raised my voice while I tried to pu-ll my luggage from his grip.
We were now at his penthouse which I agreed to move in but with one condition, separate rooms.
“I don’t remember anything about this.
Do you have any do¢v-mentation or any contract that can make me recall about this agreement?” He sm-irked, his hand never let go of my luggage.
“I will tell mom and dad that you are bullying me,” I gritted my teeth. He clutched his stomach as he laughed at my statement. I stomped my feet, annoyed with his action.
“Give me back my luggage,” I said pu-lling the luggage.
“Ok, ok,” he said then re-leased the luggage from his grip, and because of his sudden action, it made me stumbled and fell on the floor. My bu-tt hit the floor ha-rd and it made me squeaked with an ouch.
“Ouch,” I ru-bbe-d my back. “You bad boy!” I scream at him angrily but he just chuckled.
“Oops, sorry. I just do what you ask. I think my sweetheart nee-ds my help now.” He stepped nearer and knelt in front of me.
“What are you doing?” He made me surprised when he suddenly carried me in a bridal style and climbing up the stair. I wriggle in his embr@ce.
“Stay still if you don’t want your S-xy bu-tt to k!ssthe floor again,” he said, halting his step, and lowered his gaze to my direction. I furrowed my eyebrows without uttering any words.
“Put your hand on my n£¢k,” he requested.
“No!”
“Do it or I will throw you down.’ He pretended to toss me on the floor. My eyes wi-de-ned and my hands automatically sneaked around his n£¢k for safety.
“Good girl,” he praised, brush the edge of my nose with his nose. I flin-ched a bit tried to avoid him and at the same time, my heart felt like it almost jumped from the ribcage. I can felt my face turned into a red tomato.
“So, are you agree now to give me my own room?” I confirmed, looking at him while my hands holding onto his n£¢k.
“Why do you want to have your own room? I told you I won’t do that thing with you when you are not re-ady yet. Don’t you trust me?” I noticed the serious look that covered his face.
“No, it is not that I don’t trust you but I just want to have my own space.
Everything happened too sudden and I’m not re-ady to share my personal space with you,” I explained honestly to him.
I looked at him, but he averted his sight to the front, holding me ti-ghtly in his arm. Strangely, I felt awkward with the silence between us.
“..at least for now,” I added. He turned his eyes on me and I didn’t notice that we alre-ady reached the room. I looked at the door and shifted my eyes to him, waiting for his words.
“This is your room and my room, no, I mean our room is opposite there,” he pointed at the door that was a few steps from mine. I raised my eyebrows as confusion hit me.
“Meaning, you can have your own room for now but not for forever.
After you adjust to our relationsh!pand new life, you nee-d to move in and stay with me in that room. un-derstand?” He questioned, lowering his b©dy to make his face at my level.
I just nodded my head because he looked scary when his face turned serious.
“Good wife,” he said patted my head, and let out a chuckle.
“Now, k!ssme.” I turned to look at him and my eyes wi-de-ned at his sudden demand.
He just showed me his serious face a few seconds ago and now he turned into a demanding guy with his n@ûghty smile, or probably devilish smile suit him more. He moved closer to me but I stepped back until I felt my back t©uçhed the surface of the door.
“This is the condition. You want to have your own room then you nee-d to give me a goodnight k!ssevery night which started from today,” he sm-irked and caged me with both arms on each side.
“You pl@ydirty,” I mocked, trying to push him away, but he didn’t budge.
“I told you, sweetheart, I never pl@yfair,” he said while one of his hands ca-ressed my cheek.
I sighed and twirled my head to his right cheek and placed a quic-k k!sson his cheek. I lowered my gaze as I felt shy at my action.
“No, not like that sweetheart,” he said while his hand that ca-ressed my cheek cu-mpped my chin, and f0rç£d me to look at him.
“Like this.” I felt hisl-ips pressed onto mine. My heartbeat increa-sed its pace and my eyes closed automatically while my mind still can’t process what happened at the moment. It was a long pas-sionate goodnight k!ss.
“Now you learn.” His thumb gently brushed myl-ips while he rested his forehead onto mine.
Dominic POV✨✨✨
I stared at her shocked face. Her face was cute when it covered with a pinky blus-h. She was surprised by my goodnight k!ssand it looked like her mind still tried to digest it.
“Go inside before I do more than this,” I said to her jokingly.
I saw she bit her bottoml-ips and twisted the knob to open the door without uttering any words. I almost laughed but I suppressed it.
“I will bring your luggage,” with that, I walked to the stairs to bring her luggage to her room. I literally ran downstairs to reach the luggage.
“Here you go.” I pas-sed it to her.
“Thank you.” She pushed the luggage to her room. “Good night,” she added, re-ady to close the door but I held it with my hand.
“Good night. Dream of me,” I win-ked at her which only caused her to stick her ton-gue out.
I laughed at her childish action and stepped to my room once she shut the door. Hmm, our first night which we sle-pt separately in two different rooms.
But you agreed on this! Ah, shut up, you inner voice.
