Walking down the aisle I didn't think I would ever marry the man that was in the after waiting for me.
Xavier Woods was a self made billionaire although his family was rich he made a company of his own that made billions yearly, he was known as the world most eligible bachelor and now she was getting married to him. Layla grey is my name and the company with the most made dollars was going bankrupt and now am forced to get married to Xavier on a contract that hee will help my family.
"Xavier Woods would you take miss Layla grey as your lovely wedded wife in health and in sickness, in riches and in hardship" the priest asked Xavier and I that has been in thought looked up at him to gind him staring at me.
"I do" he said still looking at me, the priest asked the same question to me but I didn't know if I was ready for this, finally pulling my eyes from those hazel eyes I looked around seeing my families faces and decided I was ready.
" I- l do" I stammered in hesitation and I pronounce you husband and wife, you may kiss the bride, the priest concluded. I turned around about to leave the altar thinking that he wouldn't want to kiss me, but I felt large hands grab my arms, spinning me around and before I could react I felt soft lips on mine, I stood there in shock but couldn't pull away his kiss was so passionate that i felt myself kissing back, before finally he pulled away and i felt like i didn't want him to stop but I had to keep my self in check in the public.
But suddenly I felt him grab my hand again and drag me out of the church , he took long strides that i could hardly keep up with, i stopped pulling away from him when i couldn't breathe anymore.
" Where are we going I haven't said goodbye to my parents yet" I said finally catching my breath " I have work to do and I have to drop you in the mansion first so let's go" he said in a go still looking at his watch and again holding my hand this time tighter that I couldn't pull away this time, we got to a black Rolls-Royce andI was stunned when I saw how shining it looks I felt Poor in front of him , we got into the car and droveof it was a long ride and I fell asleep in the cardue to the stressful day.
*******
I woke up in a different dress on me and turned around to see Xavier sleeping close to me, I couldn't help but think maybe he changed me and felt my cheeks turn red.
"Don't worry I told a maid to change you so don't be scared" he said in a hushed tone and a hint of drowsiness in his voice, I couldn't help but smile that he was such a gentle and nice person " thank you" I said in a whisper voice and suddenly he turned towards me, looking at me with a serious gaze that I couldn't help but look anywhere but at him.
"Let's get to business then"he said before trying to reach to the papers on the bedside table close to me with his face so close to mine that I felt heat creeping up to my face, he pulled away with that same serious look.
"What business are you talking about"I asked now looking confused.
"The rules of our contract marriage, don't tell me your Dad didn't tell you?"he said as he is hand stretch forward holding the paper handing them to me, as I read it I felt like party A which was me , was more like a slave than a wife.
It's read that I had to do whatever he asks me and must not leave the house without his permission and I'm also not allowed to let anyone know he's my husband, It felt like a secret marriage. And now finding out after a year the contract is normal valid and we'll get a divorce, oh the color from my face got drained after reading the contract.
"Do you understand Layla if you break any of the rules you will get a severe punishment for me"he said understand voice while I looked at him with a shocked face.
