JASMINE'S POV
The blood drained out of my face.
He wanted to consummate the marriage. He said my father had forced himself on his mother.
In this very room.
His eyes gleamed with rage, fury, and vengeance.
I felt my throat go dry as I took a step back.
No, this could not be my fate.
This couldn't be what was going to happen to me.
"What? A barbarian who had lived in the woods for years is beneath you?" He asked me cruelly.
And then he smiled and it gave me chills.
He walked up to me, I wanted to run away but my feet refused to move.
"Everything that I've gone through." He said. "Everything that your father did to me. You will pay for it. If I had killed you the way I had killed your brother then it would have been much better for you."
His big arms were on my dress and he ripped it into shreds, exposing my nudity.
I threw my hands over my body to cover myself.
