When The Stars Aligned

Fifth

Soon their presence came into sight, as they both walked down the wide and long stairway, making everyone's gaze fixed on them. There was a calm, satisfying smirk on his face with his signature aura while she looked down at her feet all the time and felt like kicking him right behind before escaping from there. However her wish couldn't fulfil as within a moment when he came in front of all, the people started cheering for them.
"Start" demanded Graham to the man in front not wanting to waste any more second. Next a staff handed the man a box with two wedding rings kept side by side decorated beautifully with satin cloth and rose petals. Before taking the ring, Graham glanced at his father who gave him a slight nod. Taking the ring, he wasted no time before sliding it on her forth finger. She got a sudden shiver all through her spine as she widened her eyes a bit when he gave a slight kiss right where he just slid the ring. Then she also slid the other ring with her trembling fingers receiving a loud sound of clapping from the people. "Welcome to the life of hell my dear wifey." he whispered these words which was only heard by her and not anyone else, she felt her heart leaping crazily inside her as she stood there dumbfounded, not knowing what to do. Time skipped as Carter kept his promise, when he announced in front of all the guests and medias that the Harvey's didn't really steal the ring from their launching party few days ago and the viral video was actually some king of hoax, the paparazis couldn't really help but to spread a new news to the world that Orion is nothing but innocent.

Time skipped at night after everyone left. Jocelyn was in her new room alone feeling vulnerable. She felt a pain in her head, as she sat on the couch with closed eyes. Reminders of tonight's events, how he put the wedding ring on her finger completely turning her whole life in a whole new direction, how his touch of lips on her skin, his words, his presence, people cheering for them and claiming them as couple, her dad not staying by her side, everything is ripping her head apart right now. She felt her blood boiling in her veins, as she screamed her heart out of frustration. She started ripping the curtains aggressively before kicking the coffee table harshly making it tumbled down. Right then she felt someone's presence behind her. Looking over her shoulder, she saw her dad standing near the door. "Dad I was waiting for you. Finally you came to see yourself that how badly I'm messed up now. To check yourself how I'm doing after how brutally you hurt me, you came to ruin my life even more right dad?" she said these words still not facing him as she felt a sigh escaped his lips. "Firstly stop breaking things, you'll get hurt. Second, get used to him now, he's your husband, someone you need to spent the rest of your life with. I suppose he'll not hurt you as you're thinking; and if he does that, I'll be sure to ruin his reputation for mistreating my daughter." he said. "Stop acting like you care for me. Do you even consider me as your daughter-" "JOCELYN!" shouted Jasper cutting her words. "Keep in mind whom you're talking to. I'm your father. You're still my child and I have total rights to do what's best for you as your guardian!" exclaimed Jasper feeling angry. She passed out a sad smile, before mumbling by her ownself "A father who only knows only to hurt his daughter...". "I know you're out of your mind now. I'll just leave now and give you some alone time. Take care." said Jasper before heading out of the room. As soon he left, she took the glass vase and smashed it against the wall making it shatter into pieces. Pillows, mattresses lying abundantly on the cold floor, unable to bear the pain, she just sat on the floor. Tears streaming through her doe eyes, face swollen, as she just sat there hugging her knees sobbing so bad. She didn't knew for how long she sat there until she suddenly heard the door opening and slightly getting locked from inside. Hearing the noise, she immediately lifted her head only to see Graham's piercing eyes staring right into her soul with amusement. He was holding a brand new bottle of wine on his one hand while his other hand ran through his sweaty hair falling on his forehead, making her look in other direction with a sullen and disgusted look. It was already midnight by then, the room was dark allowing only the moonlight to peek in through the curtain less windows, lighting up their only presence, as his dark pair of eyes roamed all over her petite figure. Taking slow steps, he stood right in front of her before sitting at one knee. "Move before I screa-", "Sshh" Graham cut off her words before putting his finger on her lips to make her stop speaking further. She closed her eyes when she felt like her body is giving up on her as if he's possessing her under his control with his touches. His finger moved from her lips to her jawline, tracing down below straightway to her neck and collarbone, while she made a fist unable to confront him as. "All mine from now on..." he whispered these words near her ear before sniffing her scent, as if its calming him down from all the hormonal rush he was going through at that moment because of her. She tried to get up from there but he was quick enough to held her by her wrist and make her body slam hard against his chest. Chugging down the alcohol completely, he threw away the bottle before pushing her on the floor and immediately started hovering over her. Realising the position, her eyes widened in horror and she started struggling under him to get away but his hold on her waist only got tighter making him let out a dark chuckle. "Sweetheart I feel pathetic to see you caged under me. But no matter how much you try, you'll be never able to win against me. You don't have any idea with whom you will be staying for the rest of your life. Stay still and let my eyes be pleased by capturing every features of yours in my memory forever. Then I'll claim every part of yours, mark them as mine and..." he stopped before lightly pecking her lips and. "Fuck you so dirty until every single person in my mansion hear you scream my name. I am the ruthless beast and you are my little prey. I'm your master from now on and you are my little slut. I'll make you count for whatever shit you gave me. You did a huge mistake by stepping in my already messed up life and now watch how I paint your life with pain, suffer and torture. Mrs. Jocelyn Hendrick!" He was about to kiss her when she hit him in the middle making him groan in pain. Successfully pushing him away from her body, she finally stood. "You didn't grow enough guts to treat me like anything, Mr. 'womanizer' ". She said the last word in a mocking tone making him grit his teeth in anger. "I know how to defend myself and I will defend myself for whatever goddamn reasons, let alone touched by an asshole like you."
"CONTROL YOUR TONGUE JOCELYN HARVEY!!! YOU DO'NT HAVE A SINGLE IDEA WHAT I CAN DO TO YOU NOW IF I WANT! DON'T TEST MY FUCKING PATIENCE!!" she flinched by his sudden outburst and started trembling when he held her hair tight in his palm making her whince in pain. "N..no s..stop Leave" the words came out more like a request in a low voice as tears started forming in her eyes. "Listen Jocelyn. I am your legal husband and I can do whatever the hell I want to do to you understood? And one more thing. In front of the world, we are a couple, but behind the doors, we are complete strangers. There will not be any relationship between us except for being physical. I can never give you the love of a husband as my mind is still occupied by her. I can never imagine any other woman except her. Rejection is the only thing you'll get from me you get it???!!!" He spoke these words with fire before leaving her hair and backing away. "Gaurd? Guard?" he shouted when immediately a guard came running in front of their door. "Yes sir?" the guard asked. "Clean all the mess in the room and replace the broken furnitures by tomorrow."
"Okay sir." the guard immediately left when he kicked the wall out of frustration. Keeping behind his newly wedded wife all alone in their new bedroom, he exited the room in the middle of the night giving her all the heartbreaks, wreck and havoc which she probably didn't deserve ever.
