The Billionaire's Rebellious Bride

9. "Why are you taking your clothes off?"

Chapter Nine

Adonis' POV

This marriage is going to take a u-turn.

Three months ago, I agreed to this arranged marriage with the sole purpose of getting back the land that we lost in a bet, so I could develop it making it the world's most innovative business center. I did not give much thought about the woman that I was going to marry, in fact I did not care at all if she was promiscuous, or had ten kids!

I had been in a terrible breakup. I feel disgusted whenever I think of it. A wasted four year relationship - full of empty promises on my ex's end. My belief in true love vanished.

Meeting Elena for the first time, she was a red flag. I could feel an instant attraction the moment our eyes met. It suddenly made me more defensive, raising my walls up to shield from that invisible magnetic force.

I vividly remembered, making a harsh statement. I made our situation clear that we were married in name only. She would do anything she wanted, as long as she would not bring shame to the Stavrakos name.

But today just proved that she is rebellious!

She did the exact opposite. I told her to wear the whitest wedding gown she could find, and yet she wore black.

She also had no regard to other people's time. She stood me up on our first dinner date, and made me wait for two hours. And today, on our wedding day, she made me wait in front of everyone for an hour.

She meant to humiliate me and my family. She would drag the Stavrakos name swimming in the mud!

I never anticipated that she was a handful. So, this marriage situation had to change. I had to deal with her personally. I did not know what was running inside her head, she could be vicious. She must behave and act as a proper wife before she would ruin me and my family.

She had no reason to rebel or be hostile. She signed the agreement of this arranged marriage, therefore she knew what she was getting at. Why the hell she's acting like this is a forced marriage!

She ignored me, like I was invisible. I hated being ignored, I felt not important, like a piece of shit.

Everytime our arms brushed, she jolted, and made it obvious to everyone. She treated me like I had a contagious disease. She dropped my ring when she put it on my finger, because she would not hold my hand properly. Good thing I caught it, before someone would yell, bad luck.

She's a goddess in beauty, but her personality needs to be overhauled and reconstructed, in order to make our marriage work.

Elena's POV

"I forgive you for coming late and wearing that morbid wedding gown. But for Christ's sake! Arguing with Adonis in front of everyone at the bridal table, I could not tolerate that. You humiliated me!" grandpa hissed softly, when we were alone, after the dinner and the speeches. His jaw was trembling with anger.

Oh, how my blood boiled immediately.

So, he had been observing me all along at the bridal table. I thought he was enjoying himself, talking, laughing, and drinking with his friends.

"Why do you think it's all about you? Stop treating me like an imbecile kid, I know what I'm doing. Besides, I did my part of the bargain, I married the guy. So please, just leave me alone."

I still could not forgive him for everything he did. Recently, by hiring people to make me a fake social media account, and when I thought about forgiving him because he was super nice to mom... I found out the next day that he was back verbally and emotionally abusing her!
