The Billionaire's Wicked Scars | RBS 3

CHAPTER 11 - WIFE

AMARA

I watched the orange hues of the setting sun fade. The short ceremony was finished two hours ago.

Nagkakasiyahan ang mga tauhan ni Nikkolai sa maliit na reception sa loob ng palasyo habang ako ay naiwan dito sa hardin kung saan ginanap ang kasalan.

Lumalamig na ang simoy ng hangin at naaabot ng amoy ng dagat ang kinatatayuan ko ngayon.

I grabbed the white, silky sleeves of my wedding dress. Naramdaman ko na ang bigat ng diamond ring na nagsisimbolo na kasal na nga ako.

I am now Amara Michaela Jones-Galanis.

And this wedding is just a step towards my goal.

"Why are you here? Don't you want to join the celebration?"

Nikkolai's voice echoed behind me. My stomach suddenly churned at the memory of our kiss earlier.

I shook my head lightly. It's just a kiss, Amara. Nothing's special with that.

Hindi ako sumagot. Nagbuntong hininga nalang ako at tinitigan ang nag-aagaw dilim at liwanag na tanawin sa harapan ko.

I felt him moved closer.

"You're tired? Want me to walk you to our bedroom?" he whispered.

Parang hindi pa siya sigurado sa dulo. Pero sandali nga lang... tama ba ang pagkakarinig ko?

"We're going to share a room?" I asked. Slightly nervous.

Hindi yata ako handa para sa ganitong set-up. I know that we're married and I'm going to be stuck with him for the rest of our lives. Hindi malabong humantong kami sa ganitong ayos.

Kasal kami.

"Of course. We're married after all, Amara. Why? Are you scared of me?"

Nikkolai stood beside me.

Naaninag ko ang kakaibang kislap ng kanyang mga mata ngunit nanatiling malamig ang ekspresyon niya.

"Hindi lang kita pinagkakatiwalaan..." bulong ko.

I inhaled the sea breeze. Nakaka-refresh pala ang ganitong lugar.

The wind blew slightly and the flowers around me danced a little to it. The soft sound of the crickets started to conquer the place and the lighy from the setting sun is slowly disappearing.

It was perfect.

Kailan nga ba ulit ako nakaramdam ng ganitong feeling? Something is calming me right now and I don't know what that is.

I heard him chuckled beside me before he placed his hand on my waist.

"It's getting colder, Amara. Let's go inside. My workers wants to meet you."

I nodded. Wala na din naman akong magagawa dahil magdidilim na.

Nikkolai escorted me towards the reception area. The grand chandeliers of the ballroom welcomed my sight and the soft classical melody conquered my ears.

The workers and some of his bodyguards greeted us. I gave them a smile and my thanks for their hardwork.

It was hell during the preparation. The workers worked non-stop just to prepare a small wedding theme outside the palace. This reception too made Nikkolai call for five famous chefs here in Greece for the food.

Kahit kakaonti ang tao at tanging mga tauhan at bodyguard niya lang ang narito, hindi ko maiwasang matuwa kahit papaano dahil sa nagkakatuwaan nilang mga kuwento. Parang bihira lang mangyari ang ganitong handaan sa lugar na ito.
