VICTORIA FOX-
"Aaron, I am going to deal with this, you will stay right here. I don't want her anywhere near you. If you follow me, it's all over." I warn him with fury visible in my eyes. Aaron looked surprised and just nodded. I shot him another serious look before following the husband thief who was already heading towards the guest room shamelessly.
I knock on the guest room's door which she had just entered, "Oh honey, you are already here. I knew it, that bitch is manipulating you into staying, right? Open the door and I have a surprise for you." I felt a vein popping out of my forehead as anger taking over me.
For her, Aaron and I were an actual couple but still she had the audacity to seduce a married man who has clearly stated his disinterest in all of her propositions was crossing a line.
I entered the room to see her peeling the skimpy dress off her shoulder but she quickly pulled it on when she realized I was at the door instead of my husband.
"What the fuck are you doin-" Before she could complete her sentence I attacked her, which caused us both to fall down. She screamed as I almost ripped off that fake blonde hair. She tried to swat my hands away but I finally did something that I've been waiting to do since I met her at the ball. I slapped her hard across her face.
When she realized what had just happened she pulled my hair hard making tears well up in my eyes, I was about to punch her in her stupid face when I was lifted off Katrine. I kicked and punched in the air hard but to no avail. Aaron broke his promise, I can't believe this. He is here to protect Katrine but as I turned around to face him, my eyes met with Landon's instead.
"What the hell are you girls doing?" Landon shouted loudly at us as if we were children. I huffed and handed him the note.
"Katrine, stay away from Aaron, I was there after you brutally cheated on him and left him without a warning. If you really loved him you'd stay away from him. He is happy with Victoria." Landon explains calmly but I could see his jaw was clenched. Sometimes I think Nathan and Landon hate Katrine more than Aaron hates her.
"No, I made a mistake once of leaving a man like Aaron but I won't do it again. Paul is a bastard, he doesn't care about me. I will seduce Aaron back in my arms, I don't care how long that'll take. But he is mine and even though he acts like I don't affect him anymore I know I do. Once Aaron agrees, I will leave that bastard and enjoy the rest of my life with all the money and sex. I mean I've never been with a beast like Aaron ever. The only reason I can't leave Paul now is, because I haven't gotten Aaron yet." She said as she got off the floor and straightened up her dress. She winked at me and I fisted my hands in readiness to punch this gold-digger again when I saw colour drain from her beautiful face.
Landon and I turned around towards the door to see Paul standing there. There was an awkward silence after which Landon just grabbed my hand, quietly led me out of the room where Paul was staring at Katrine with pure wrath and she looked like she had seen a ghost.
"What the hell were you thinking? Thank god, I interrupted you guys in time. Victoria, you don't know Paul, but I do. Don't get involved with him or anyone even remotely associated with him." Landon lectured me to which I just nodded. I knew Paul had done something unforgivable to Landon but I never had the courage to ask him.
"I don't know, I just snapped after a point. She crossed the line, did you hear the way she spoke about Aaron? Why were you looking for me anyway?" I asked him in confusion, guest room is the last place anyone would come to.
"Oh, right. The wedding is about to start and you are the maid of honour, so Elizabeth asked me to find you. Come on, let's hurry." Landon said as we headed downstairs.
"Wait, I need to ask you something. How many copies are there of the contract? And where are they?" I asked Landon to which he furrowed his eyebrows.
"There is only one contract, which only Aaron has. He couldn't risk it being with anyone other than him or getting leaked so he avoided all the things which would not promise secrecy. But I don't know if stealing it is a good idea." Landon tried to make me understand, but I just shook my head.
"How did you know that I was planning on doing that?" I questioned him, "Victoria, it's pretty obvious. I am not stupid and neither is Aaron, so be careful. Finally after so many years Aaron seems happy, so think a lot before you make a decision. You've always been impulsive." I roll my eyes at Landon as we head inside the church and take our positions as per our roles in the wedding.
Landon has always been this serious, uptight and strict guy. He is very intelligent, he analyzes, examines and scrutinizes each and every detail before making a big or small decision.
As the wedding begins, my eyes well up when I see Elizabeth walking down the aisle, looking so damn beautiful. This woman means the world to me, I just love her. She smiles at me before standing in front of Nathan. My eyes meet with Aaron's and we just look at each other.
After the beautiful wedding ceremony, I talk to Nathan and Elizabeth a little before they head off. The after party had just begun but they didn't wait, I just gave a naughty smile and asked her to tell me everything tomorrow when she came over to say bye to which she visibly reddened.
I looked around as everyone slow danced on the very popular Elvis Presley song, 'Can't help falling in love' but I couldn't find Paul or Katrine after our last encounter.
"How about a dance?" I looked up to see vibrant green eyes staring back at mine making me feel giddy like a teenager.
"Sure." I gave in to his surprise. I was tired after the eventful day we just had. I'd rather not start another fight or even a mere argument.
"So Landon told me about your little catfight and run in with Paul. I have to say I am kind of impressed." He somewhat compliments me as he pulls me in his arms swiftly and we move our body in sync with the beat. Aaron looked distractingly good in his suit making it incredibly difficult to concentrate on his words.
Sexy bastard.
"Well, she had it coming, and I can impress you a lot more in these six months but I don't have to. You have to impress me. Funny, how the tables have turned." I giggle at the thought of how I was always the one trying to sway him as a teen but he paid no heed. My smile disappears as I feel his sturdy hand creeping down my waist to my ass.
"I will for sure try my best, Victoria. I really do want you to stay. Also I'll tell you another thing, I am not going anywhere. Even after six months, you leave me, I will give you a divorce but don't even for a moment let that fool you into thinking that I am going to leave you alone. I will still continue my quest for you no matter what." My heart thumped as the words registered in my head. Liquid heat rushed through my body as his hand squeezed my ass and pulled me closer to his warm chest. My face flushed crimson as I looked around to see if anybody saw that but Aaron looked blissfully unaffected.
He is not going to stop.
He is kidding, right? Why would he still follow me after the contract is broken, it would be completely useless to keep me around.
"What if I just blab to Joseph and Mary? You will still pursue me?" I laughed at my stupid question. Of course, he wouldn't. He'd hate my guts if I did that.
"Yes, I will. I want you, Victoria. You've tried to protect me from Katrine without any selfish motive, you had a chance to get out of this arrangement a few times. You could have just told my grandparents and set yourself free but you didn't. You care about others, which made me realize that as I try to make you fall in love with me, I would actually end up falling for you." He looked at me deep in my eyes and I felt like my soul was on display. I wanted to say something but I just couldn't.
"So bring it on, princess. Give me your best shot, but I am not letting you go this time. Even if you get out of this marriage, you can't get rid of me. I am here for life."
I laughed it off as a joke but deep down in my heart I could feel his assurance felt too genuine and intense. He buried his head in my neck and I hear him breathe against my skin then sexily growl like an animal making me want to squash my legs together. I whimpered in complain as I felt his nose nuzzle in my neck.
I want to die, he is teasing me and all I want to do right now is beg him to fuck me but I can't. Memories of the night we spent together flashed where he ravaged me like a beast, mercilessly and relentlessly.
He was indeed a beast. An evil genius beast.
Don't fall for it, Victoria.
This is all just an act.
