My hands instinctively went up to my lips .
' Oh my goodness , there goes my first kiss , that too to the Devil who is unfortunately now my husband . What a great luck I have . ' I thought .
All the guests were clapping enthusiastically .
While I was lost in my own train of thoughts , Lucifer snatched the mask from my hand and made me wear it again . I looked at him , confused with his actions .
" Don't remove the mask until I tell you to do so . " he said in a domineering tone which left no room for negotiations . So I just complied as this was only a small request , no it would be better to call it a command .
After the ceremony , I tossed the bouquet in my hand and my dear cousin and maid of honor , Elizabeth caught it . She looked over the moon .
After that ended , we all headed towards the ballroom . Soon the cake was brought out and it looked mouth - watering . It was a 4 tier cake . My father passed the knife to me , and Lucifer and I cut the cake together . He took the first piece and held it in front of my mouth while grinning devilishly . I reluctantly opened my mouth and ate the cake . The cake tasted heavenly , I couldn't wait to taste the rest of the layers .
While I was busy savouring the cake , Lucifer was looking at me as if waiting for something . When realisation finally dawned on me , I wanted to reject but we were in the middle of a crowd so I had no choice but to go with the flow .
This lovey - dovey act was really getting on my nerves , but I was pretty sure that Lucifer was definitely enjoying my misery . I picked up a piece and fed it to him . Then , I fed the cake to my parents and Lucifer's father aka my father-in-law . Lucifer's father had a warm smile on his face from the very beginning and it made me doubt if Lucifer was really his son .
The mask was really irritating me , so I turned to look at Lucifer and ask him if I could remove it now but I saw that he was talking to two people whose faces I could not see as Lucifer's body was blocking my line of sight .
' Why do I even want his permission ? It's not like I am his slave and this mask is really irritating me . ' With that thought in mind , I tried to remove my mask but to no avail .
' Ugh ! How in the world has he tied the knot , no matter how I try , I am not able to open it . '
I was still struggling when someone whispered in my ear .
" I told you not to remove the mask , didn't I ? "
I quickly turned around to see Lucifer standing near me .
" I-I Well , it was really irritating me and I am not very fond of masks so ... "
Before I could finish , Lucifer raised his hand and untied the mask . I felt the mask slide from my face and fall on his hand .
" Ah , thank you . " I said .
" Next time , try and be a bit more obedient Dr. Alexandra . " he whispered in my ear and then kept the mask on the table .

Lucifer's POV
" Hey , come here . " I called my friends .
" Congrats bro , now you are happily married . " one of them said .
Ignoring his words , I said , " Listen I want both of you to go to the parking lot , right now . "
" But why ? "
" Just go , you'll understand once you get there . "
" But bro we haven't even met sister-in-law till now . Infact we haven't even seen her face . "
I glared at them to make them comply .
" Fine , fine we are going . "
' Now , they'll see the consequences of teasing me . ' I thought and turned around to see Alexandra struggling to take off her mask .
' Does she really have to disobey me . '
I went towards her and stood behind her . When I whispered in her ear , she got startled and quickly turned around .
I untied her mask for her and I noticed for the very first time that she was looking absolutely stunning . I could clearly see that she fulfilled all the conditions that I had set but still if I could go back in time , I would rather die than marry her .
She's such an idiot , why would she even agree to marry an anonymous person . Anyway , living together with her would definitely not be boring .

Alexandra's POV
After we had eaten the cake , the music started and Lucifer held his hand out for me to take . I hesitantly placed my hand in his and we started the dance .
All eyes were on us . Both of us were dancing in sync . I love dancing with my father so I was pretty good at it .
" Did I tell you that you are looking absolutely stunning today , sweetheart ? " he said with a smirk . I clearly knew that he was just teasing me but I couldn't help but blush . I mean who doesn't like being praised , especially by a devilishly handsome young man . I was almost certain that I was looking as red as a tomato right now .
" Oh my , don't you look like a blushing bride ? " he said as if to make me even more certain of my condition .
I sincerely wished that I could just slap that smirk off his face but I have neither the courage nor the guts to do so .
" Annoying Devil " I murmured under my breath but maybe due to the close proximity that we were in , he heard me .
" Alexandra , did you say something ? " he narrowed his eyes and asked in a sharp voice .
" Nope " I said with the best smile that I could make .
" Hmm , I thought that I heard something . Anyway , good for you if you said nothing . " he said with an underlying threat which I did not miss and pulled me even closer than I already was .
' Oh god , how am I going to survive my life while staying married to this devil . ' I thought .
If I could go back in time I would have never agreed to this arrangement . How in the world did my parents even manage to make Lucifer my husband . Hmm .... maybe he knows something about this , guess I'll just ask him later .
Soon the song ended and the other couples present , started to dance . Both of us had no more intention to dance , so we stepped back from the dance floor .
All the guests came to congratulate us and give us their blessings . Most of them left after congratulating us and our parents while a few close friends and relatives stayed for a bit more before leaving .
In the end , I bid my parents and my father-in-law good bye before leaving with the Devil for my new home . My mother was shedding tears while my father was trying his best not to cry but I maintained a smile on my face and tried to console them .
Their facial expressions were making me feel as if I was going to a place of no return .
