Valerie didn't talk. She just kept shaking and crying.

"Shhh" Niall used his thumb to wipe her tears away. Once he was done he looked at her with a smile. Like she was a piece of art. As if he didn't believe she was finally standing in front of him and they were about to get married. "Let's go" Niall said and hooked his arm with hers.

They walked to the room. Same room. Same members. Same priest. The difference was that since it was the leader's wedding, the members brought their wives as well. They reached to the end and stood faced to face. "Begin" Niall told the priest and once again the gun was placed on his side. The priest glanced at Valerie who was terrified.

"You know what I won't!" The priest said. Everyone gasped and Niall raised his eyebrow. He looked at the priest. "Come again" He said in a threatening tone. "I said I won't do it. These girls don't deserve this Horan. And I am not afraid of yo-" The gun didn't let him finish the sentence.

Valerie witnessed it. She witnessed the scene and became ten times more afraid of the man who she was about to marry forcefully. She was looking at the lifeless body who was laying just a few inches away from them. "Don't look at him" Niall whispered causing Valerie's head to snap toward his smiley face. "Next priest" He ordered.

The second priest was dragged and the same gun was placed to his side.

"Begin" Niall said. The priest nodded rapidly and began.

"Do you Valerie Wilson take Niall Horan as your loving husband through love and sickness?" Valerie looked at her surrounding. Every man holding a gun. Her eyes landed at the dead priest still laying there covered in blood. Fear took all over her body. Not for herself but for her family. They killed the priest and they didn't care. They shot Jacob in the shoulder. Next time the bullet will hit either in his head or in his chest. They would kill him. They would kill her parents.

"I do" She said afraid that her thoughts might come true. Niall's smile got wider. "Do you Niall Horan take Valerie Wilson as your loving wife through health and sickness?"
"I do" He said without any hesitations.

"I will now pronounce you as husband and wife. You may kiss the bride."

With one swift motion Niall pulled Valerie to him and connected his lips to hers. Those lips which he dreamt about for so long. He finally got the chance to kiss them in real life.

"Boss got married. Let's celebrate!" Sid announced.
Everyone cheered and Niall laughed in excitement.

Jacob was laying on the hospital bed. His shoulder has been bandaged, but what about his heart? His heart was broken into million pieces. The love of his life was gone. Not by her own will but with force. She was gone because they didn't have the power They had. Jacob was devastated thinking it was his fault that Valerie's gone. She went with them just to save his life. She went with them so he doesn't get shot.

"It's my fault" he said.
"Don't say that." Catherine, his mother said.
"It is. She left because the gun was aimed toward me. It's my fau-"
"It's not your fault son." Frank, Valerie's dad said.
"If I reached sooner, she would've still been with us."
"Don't blame yourself. Valerie was Niall's girl. The leader. Which means they would get her either way. Too far or too close, it didn't matter. They would've gotten her." Frank said.
"Valerie is not Niall's girl. She's mine" He said through gritted teeth.
"She is. But those with powers think otherwise." Frank said.

"I should go after her"
"No! No son you don't" Catherine said.
"But mom she's been taken. She's all terrified. I have to help her."
"You take one step and they will kill you. For the love of God think about your family for once!" She cried.
"But Val-"
"Listen to your mother son. Valerie's gone and you can't do anything about it. Be there for your sister. Be there for your family." Frank said and exited the room.
"Valerie" Jacob cried.

Niall and Valerie were sitting on the stage while others were having fun celebrating their wedding. Weddings are supposed to be a happy event. But not for Valerie. She was broken. Her heart has been shattered into million pieces. She was supposed to be celebrating this day with the love of her life Jacob. But here she was, sitting next to a murderer, wondering if she will ever see her family again. If she will see Jacob ever again.

On the other hand, Niall was all happy and excited. He has dreamt about this day for a year and half now. "Time for the bride and the groom's dance" A member announced. Niall faced Valerie with a smile and raised his hand toward her. Out of fear she held it and they walked to the center. He guided her hands around his neck and then wrapped his arms around her waist. They started moving to the slow rhythm that was playing in the background.

"No need to be scared. You are now protected. Everyone here will protect you and no one dares to lay a finger on you. Listen to me, don't do anything stupid and you'll be safe love" Niall whispered to her. That just made Valerie more afraid.

The wedding was finally over at late night. "Thank you. I will repay your help in your wedding." Niall said to Sid. "Ha. That would be a long long time" He chuckled. "Come on man settle down and find yourself a girl." Niall said. "We'll see."
Niall patted his back and guided Valerie to the car. "Let's go home"

Home
This is a foreign word for Valerie now. Because home is supposed to be your safe and comfort place. But wherever Horan is taking her is nothing like home to her. She doesn't feel comfortable neither she feels safe.

They reached his mansion. Niall took her hand and walked her into the mansion's yard. They walked inside and everyone who worked for Niall bowed and congratulated him. He nodded and smiled as a respond. Non of these fazed Valerie. She wanted nothing but to be with her family and Jacob right now. 

They reached to their shared bedroom and Niall closed the door.
"This is our room. That's the wardrobe which is already filled with clothes so you can change. Oh and there are few rules you should follow. Some are temporary rules and some are permanent." He said.

"Rule number 1. You cannot go out of this mansion without me. You can go to the yard but you can't go out.
2. You can't have contact with your family for a while. Just for a while though. I will let you know when it is okay to contact and see them.
3. No disrespecting me. Which includes, no talking back, no lying, no breaking rules, and no disobeying.
4. You will let me know immediately if someone mistreated you. You deserve to be treated like a princess.
Last rule is a permanent rule. You will not mention, talk about, with, and you will not see Jacob. Ever again. Understand?" That broke Valerie's heart even more. Niall claims she deserves to be treated like a princess but he's not treating her the way he claims.

"Did you understand me?" He asked more firmly.
She nodded.
"I need you to use your words." He said sternly.
"yes I understand" She said quietly.
Niall smiled and walked toward the closet. He grabbed the same bracelet. Since she's Niall's wife her bracelet is not red like others. Hers is black. So everyone knows she's the leader's wife and nobody wants to mess with her. He held her left wrist gently and placed the bracelet on it. He then brought her hand toward his lips.

"Welcome to our family" He said deeply and kissed her knuckles.
