Emilia stood there greeting the guest and her eyes searching for Carl .
Vivian approached her with a smile which quite didn't reach her eyes .
"How's the feeling of being married to the most powerful man in the country"Vivian queried her gaze mocking.
Emilia bit her tongue and looked away , she took a deep breath to calm her nerves .
"Just make sure you'll keep what we told you in mind "Vivian stressed and and Emilia nodded.
With that said she walked away , Emilia clenched her fist , this is how her life has been all along.
She's always living according to how they want and now evy her marriage life is being dictated by them.
Her eyes blurred with tears and she walked out of the hall to the nearest balcony for some fresh air.
"You're not getting married out of your will are you?"Carl asked coming to stand beside her .
Emilia turned to look at him and cleaned her nerves before saying"Why do you think so ".
"It's obvious Emilia, we've been together enough for me to know that "Carl affirmed looking intently at her .
Emilia chuckled painfully and commented "Please move on Carl , my life is a mess and I don't want you to get entangled in it ".
Carl brushed his hand frustratingly through his hair and took a step forward.
"Just remember that if you ever feel like getting out of this marriage , I'll be waiting for you ".
Emilia frowned looking at him but Carl's mind was made up and there was nothing that could be done about it.
She left the place not wanting to draw too much attention to them .
Back at the venue Adrian walked to her holding her hand and they made their way to the convoys waiting for them .
Emilia did her best to smile to the extent that even her cheeks hurt .
Adrian and Emilia settled in one of the cars when the door was opened.
They sat in silence with Emilia heart thumping the event was held at 4:00pm so it was already in the evening and she dreaded what the wedding night will entail .
They arrived at a very extravagant looking estate screaming of money .
Just how rich is this guy , Emilia thought staring at the house built of glass.
The cars stopped and they got out, she did her best to calm her beating heart and followed him to the mansion.
She saw all the servants lined up with their head bowed waiting for them .
Adrian passed them without a glance and Hazel did her best to smile warmly at them .
Adrian walked to one of the rooms and slammed the door and Emilia was torn between where to go .
The butler approached her his eyes a bit soulless.
"Madam please this way "he muttered and Emilia followed.
"Master will be here shortly"the butler said before excusing himself.
As she stepped into the master bedroom, Emilia's eyes widened in awe. The spacious room was a serene oasis, with floor-to-ceiling windows that offered breathtaking views of the city skyline. The walls were adorned with exquisite artwork, and the plush, cream-colored carpet felt like silk beneath her feet.
Adrian's bed, a majestic four-poster, dominated the room. The bedding was crisp, white linen, embroidered with intricate patterns that seemed to shimmer in the soft light. Emilia's gaze lingered on the bed, her mind wandering to the nights she'd spent there with Adrian.
The room was equipped with state-of-the-art smart home technology, and Emilia knew that Adrian could control the lighting, temperature, and entertainment systems with just a touch of his phone.
A private balcony beckoned, offering a tranquil outdoor space where Emilia could escape the pressures of her life. She stepped outside, feeling the cool breeze on her skin as she gazed out at the glittering city lights.
As Emilia stood on the balcony, she felt Adrian's presence behind her. She turned to see him standing in the doorway, his eyes fixed on her with an intensity that made her heart skip a beat.
"Lost in thought?" he asked, his voice low and husky.
Emilia nodded, feeling a flutter in her chest. "Just enjoying the view," she said, trying to sound casual.
Adrian stepped closer, his eyes never leaving hers. "You look beautiful in the moonlight," he said, his voice dripping with sincerity.
Emilia's heart skipped another beat as Adrian's words sent a shiver down her spine. She felt a flutter in her chest, and suddenly, the air seemed to vibrate with tension.
As Adrian's eyes locked onto Emilia's, they seemed to burn with an inner fire. His gaze was intense, hypnotic, and Emilia felt herself being drawn into its depths.
Suddenly, Adrian's face seemed to shift, his fangs elongating into a snarl. His eyes turned a deep, fiery red, and his skin took on a deathly pallor.
Emilia's heart skipped a beat as she stumbled backward, her eyes fixed on Adrian's transformed face. She tried to scream, but her voice was frozen in her throat.
Adrian's lips curled back, revealing razor-sharp fangs. He took a step closer to Emilia, his eyes blazing with a fierce, otherworldly hunger.
"You should be afraid of me, Emilia," he hissed, his voice low and menacing. "I am not what I seem. I am a monster, a creature of the night."
Emilia's eyes were wide with terror as she stared at Adrian's vampiric form. She tried to run, but her feet seemed rooted to the spot.
Adrian's eyes seemed to bore into her soul, and Emilia felt a chill run down her spine. She was trapped, and Adrian was the monster holding her captive.
She had heard whispers of the Moriarty's being Vampires but had never expected them to look like this in their vampiric state.
Even though Adrian's bloodshot red eyes were scary he was still handsome and Emilia even though scared felt a strong will to touch him .
She looked at the red eyes which was also staring mockingly at her as if expecting her to dash for the door.
"I wish I could ran Adrian but I can't because you're now my husband and I'm your wife " Emilia stated firmly even though her hands were shaking.
Why did Adrian choose their wedding night to reveal himself to her ?.
