Alaïa's POV:- Sounds of someone opening and closing the door woke me up. Someone turned the water on in the bathroom. I guess it was Stephan who was showering. I thought this was the right moment for me to escape, I got out of the bed went inside the closet changed into comfortable clothes , I tiptoed out of the room, I didn't know the way to get out of the house.
I was looking around to get out of the house but instead, I went inside the living room. I was going to get out of the room when suddenly someone or shall I say Stephan pushed me against the wall.
Going somewhere baby girl he smirked, he was so close to my lips I thought he gonna kiss me. Please just please let me go I don't want to live here with you I'm begging you, please. He turned around and said listen, baby girl, I'm not letting you leave so you should understand that sooner than later okay.
Also, don't worry I'm not going to force you or touch you until and unless you allow me to or provoke me. I know you won't allow me anytime soon but I think it would be better you don't provoke me Babe because I'm used to taking things by force and you won't be an expectation if you provoke me.
He said it is a very dangerous tone I got goosebumps. His aura could kill a person with a weak heart.
While he was giving me this stupid lecture I thought I still had chances of escaping so I turned around to run when Stephan grabbed me by my waist lifted me and threw me onto the sofa. I looked up with fear in my eyes. He put his arms around the sofa blocking me from getting up. His face came down to my level.
Stephan's POV:- I'm done playing nice. You better listen to me or, Or what huh what are you going to do kill me go ahead because from what I see you won't be letting me go anytime soon so I'll be better of the dead than live with you she yelled with tears streaming down her face.
Don't cry! I yelled at her she looked down. I grabbed her neck forcing her to look at me, listen here sweetheart when I'm talking to you right you are going to look me in the eyes. Now listen I'm done playing nice with you. You are under my roof whether it be by force or not your going to have to follow my rules understand! She was crying silently while she nodded her head.
Also, my sister will be coming here tomorrow to take you out shopping to find a wedding dress, I have decided on a location. Look for the catering, cake, etc. Our wedding will be held in a week. What the fuck you can't do this she said while trying to escape from my hold. I can and I will unless you want your little friend to never see the sunlight again.
Alaïa's POV:- Please I beg of you please don't do this I can't marry you please I'll do anything you want but please don't force this upon me please I said while sobbing. I beg of you please just let me go. I noticed his eyes softened I saw that he felt bad for me but in a second his eyes changed back to being. so emotionless
Stephan's POV:- I felt bad that I'm forcing her into this but in my heart, I knew that I couldn't live without her anymore more than wanting her I needed her she's become my need like a person needs oxygen, water, and food to survive I need her for me to survive.
Not only that but now that Dimitri knows about her no matter what even if she leaves me we have nothing between us or even if she leaves the country he will go after her. I'm the only one that can protect her by marrying her.
If I marry her she will be the queen which means the mafia people who support and respect me will die to save her life but if we don't then there's a chance that some people might not protect her they might think it's a fling or something and not give there all, people who are sincere and loyal with me and have stayed longer time with me even if I command them to protect her while she's not married to me they will protect her they will die to save her
Dimitri's mafia is the second strongest he's been trying to overthrow me for a long time but hasn't been successful but now he knows that she's my weakness and my strength.
Look I know you are not too keen on marrying me but I'm doing this for you. For you to live your life. I can't explain what I mean right now.
I already have strong feelings for you, and I'm willing to do whatever I can for you to love me back except for letting you go, but please cooperate with me I'm doing this for your life.
I said with a big sigh, look there are a lot of people who fall in love after marriage. That could be you too. Just give this marriage a year and a half if you don't fall in love with me and still don't want to live with me then I'll set you free.
Alaïa's POV:- I looked up and I saw the desperation in his eyes I knew he was speaking the truth. I don't know how I'll marry a man who can hurt me who can take advantage of me. But deep down inside I wanted this, I wanted to be with him.
Fine I'll marry you but there better be a contract that says after a year and a half it's my decision whether I want to stay with you or not.
Yes okay I'll get the contract ready by tomorrow he said and thank you he kissed my forehead and left the room calling someone. No touching with your permission my ass, I sat there for a while and thought why me.
