The reception hall was beautiful,some guest were already there when we arrive
more congratulations poured inSo far everything was going smoothly I was holding myself together and acting the part of the happy bride
Until the serpent crept in
"You must be very happy, snatching the most wanted bachelor in Amsterdam for yourself Right,,Nicole sneered
"Yeah right.... can you please piss of am not in the mood for you Nicole
"I pity you,you know
The Duke is known for being a rake and God help you,that delicious man shouldn't be kept in bonds of matrimony....I'll let you in on a secret she said whispering....his huge and knows how to use it, enjoy while it last she laughed sashaying awayI knew it,that bastard had fucked everything in town,"lucky indeed
This will only be a marriage in papersWhile he held me during our first dance as a couple,I couldn't hold it any longer,a tear slipped from my eye
This wasn't how I imagined this to be,I wanted to be doing this... probably 4 years later with a man who loved me"Are you okay,he asked
"Am fine...I answered trying to contain my emotions
After the dance he left me all alone to be with his friends
"Typical of him"Congratulations best
"Thanks Cassy..I mumbled
"Come here sweetie...It wouldn't be that bad,it's Alex you where friends before and he wouldn't hurt you
Things might turn out for the better gurl,who knows she said hugging meAfter staying a little bit more,Alex told me it was time to leave
I said goodbye to my parents and Cassy
I'll give anything to wake up in my room at New York and discover this was all a nightmare"Am sorry but they'll be no honeymoon,I have a lot of work to do
He said while in the car driving to my new home...note the sarcasm"It's okay, doesn't even matter
And my happy never after doesn't even get a honeymoon
His house was everything I expected,big,grand and modern with a swimming pool
His butler took my things into my new room while Alex showed me to the kitchen,in case I was hungryI was more than grateful we had separate rooms,I didn't want to be rushed into matrimonial shit or wedding night trauma
My room was exquisite with a huge bed,it was different from my home
The bathroom looked like something from the magazinesI cleaned off my makeup and washed my face,was going to pull of my wedding dress when I realized I'll need help with the zip
I tried getting it by myself but it wouldn't bulge,fucking little shit
"Victoria are you okay
Alex asked while knocking at the bathroom door"What the fuck are you doing in my room without my permission
"It's my house and I heard you grunting while going downstairs,are you okay?
"Yes..... no,I mean no i stuttered
"What's wrong,he asked
"My zip it's stuck, just come in
"Okay...he replied coming in
He had already taken off his suit,I noticed
I could see him from the vanity"May I ?
Was he still asking about my zip
"Yes
His hand was always hot, hot bloodied indeed,the zip went off easily and I wondered how many times he had done this
He moved closer and the room suddenly got smallerHe placed a wet kiss on my back while slipping his hot hands inside my dress holding my bare waste
I could see him through the vanity staring right at me and I had to look down as if my fingers was so interesting
"Victoria... have you been with a man before he asked teasing my neck with his lips
My heart slammed against my chest,why was he asking and why do I feel embarrassed
There's nothing to be ashamed of but yet I couldn't even replyIt must have been my silence or the way I couldn't meet his gaze
That made him understand"Beautiful,he said
"How did you know,I asked confused
"Because I know you Victoria
He answered before leaving me dazed in the bathroom
