Zemblanity

Chapter 10

White Wings... Seraphina read.

She never liked south-east area coverage of the clan, a little too vintage for her liking but like other things happening in her life at the moment, choosing a place for this date wasn't her choice either.

She entered the restaurant and looked around for her fiancée. Finding Malachi sitting in the third row, she walked towards the booth and settled herself.

"Good afternoon Seraphina." Malachi greeted his soon to be wife.

"Am I supposed to pretend that this is an actual date?" Seraphina mouthed off.

"My my, zealous angel you really have a mouth on you. Don't worry; I have some tricks up my sleeve to set it right." Malachi said.

Seraphina stayed quiet and kept staring at the muse of her disgust.

"Is it true?" she asked.

"What is, my six winged?"

"That you slept with Geline's sister?"

"Ah yes! Laila, what a woman! I did in fact sleep with her, it was really great." Malachi replied casually taking a sip of his water.

"It was at the expanse of your wife's life."

"Now that's the thing, Geline knew, she knew everything because she was in the room with us and she even joined us after some time." He said making her eyes go wide.

"Then why would she...?" Seraphina voiced her doubt.

"Competition; after some time it became a habit for the three of us to indulge in such activities. Geline started getting insecure even though I chose her over Laila during the choosing ceremony. She started taking drugs during sex and one night she didn't show up." He narrated.

"And you found her over dosed."

"Yep."

"So it wasn't a suicide."

"Not technically."

"The press surely painted you as the villain."

"If that was antagonizing for you then you haven't read anything."

"Why marry me? Marrying Laila will fetch you more power as there is no one in control above her."

"I don't want control Seraphina, not like that at least. What I want is money which your parents were more than happy to provide me with. For me this marriage only means money and a body for me to posses and break." Malachi said.

"Excuse me?"

"My interest here is fucking you and the money that I will be getting for my other activities involving other women." Malachi said nonchalantly.

"Do you even hear yourself right now? Who in hell are you locking lips with to get such speech?"

"I am just being honest my six winged. I want money and sex and I am getting both by marrying you. Your father wants to avoid a conflict between you and your sister and marrying you both off at almost the same time is his solution." Malachi's words were not only making her uncomfortable but the truth in them made her angry and hopeless.

"Malachi, I don't want this marriage. I can give you more money than my parents are giving to compensate for the sex part. You don't have to be tied down. I am not in a position to say no but you are." Seraphina tried.

"Oh my six winged, you don't understand the thrill of always having this one body which is completely yours; yours to please, yours to break. I had Geline and now I will have you." Malachi said smirking at the woman in front of her.
