The house was festively decorated, and the table was groaning under the weight of the lavish feast.
“I’m sorry it took so long for us to meet,” Elisa said with a warm smile
“It’s okay, it’s fine,” Clara, Mabel’s mother replied, taking a seat at the table
“You look beautiful my dear” Elisa said gazing at Mabel
“I’m sorry my father isn’t here he is busy "
Elisa waved a dismissive hand. “No problem,”
“Where’s Alex? And where’s his brother? Nathan right?”
“Alex will be here soon As for Nathan he’s… indisposed”
The door swung open, and Alex sauntered into the room a smug smile on his lips Beside him was Molly
Mabel’s eyes lit up “He’s here!” she exclaimed running toward him But as she neared she noticed Molly holding his arm Her smile faded and she froze in her tracks watching in horror as Alex breezed past her without a glance
Alex settled into his chair “Good evening everyone"
“Alex who is this, and what’s going on?” Elisa demanded
Alex turned to Molly “My manners, pardon me. This is Molly, my wife,” he announced, showing off their matching wedding rings Mabel smirk
“When did you two get married? You didn’t tell me about this!”
“When I tried to explain, you didn’t even give me a chance to speak And it’s just a little marriage”
“And you let me come here and embarrass myself?” Elisa hissed“You could have at least warned me!”
“I tried but you wouldn’t listen,” Alex protested.
Elisa turned to Clara with a forced smile “Children these days"
“At least he’s not…”—she cleared her throat—“…you know.”clara said
“Thanks for understanding Mabel I hope you understand too”elisa said
“I do We can’t force love, but we can take it by force.”she said and smile
“Taking it by force can end up with you dead,” Alex said
Mabel let out a mirthless laugh. “Dead? That’s an understatement,” she said, taking a long sip of her wine. “Let me just say I won’t be alone.”
Alex’s smirk deepened “We all come into this world alone, and we leave it alone. Unless, of course, you want to take your money with you, since you don’t like being alone”
“That’s enough from the both of you!”elisa said
“alex let talk” she declared storming out of the room.
Alex followed Mabel ou, planting a quick kiss on Molly’s forehead before he left Molly’s face twisted into a forced smile
As the door closed behind them, Elisa turned to Molly
“So, what’s your name?”
"molly"
"cute"
<OUTSIDE>
“What the hell do you think you’re doing?” she yelled
“What are you talking about?” Alex asked
“Who is that bitch?” Mabel spat, pointing back to the dining room.
“The only bitch I see here is you Mabel.”
“Don’t play games with me Alex”
“I’m not playing games There’s obviously no game here, so get to the point. What did you want to talk about?”
“Why did you bring that whore to ruin our moment?” Mabel demanded.
“Our moment?” Alex scoffed“Sorry my wife ruined our our moment You’re insane”
“Stop calling her your wife”
Alex raised an eyebrow “Then what should I call her? Mabel let’s get one thing straight we are over”
“I’m not over you” Mabel cried
“Then you can help yourself by drowning for all I care,” Alex shouted, turning to leave.
“Alex Don’t you dare mess with me. I know this is a plan of yours”
“And if I do mess with you, what are you gonna do?”
“I will bite you,” Mabel hissed, baring her teeth.
Alex turned away“I’ve been bitten twice by you, and I won’t let it happen again.”As he walked away
“You haven’t seen the last of me, Alex,” she whispered her lips curling into a smirk

Sophia’s eyebrows rose “Aren’t you packing?”
Molly shook her head “No, not yet I asked Alex for some time”
“Have you told him about Marco?”
“Why should I? It’s none of his business”
“Molly, don’t you think you should tell Alex…”
Molly shot her a glare “He’s not my real husband, so I don’t have to tell him anything about me”
“But this is a marriage He deserves to know”
Molly scoffed. “Fake marriage, fake husband.”
Sophia’s brow furrowed. “To you, it might be fake, but to his family it’s real He’s told you everything about himself You shouldn’t hide anything from him.”
Molly rolled her eyes“Why are you so worried about this?”
“I’m just worried for you What if he finds out from someone else?”
“Are you going to tell me who else? It’s a fake marriage, so I don’t have to tell him everything about me.” She marched into the kitchen
Sophia’s gaze lingered on Molly’s retreating form before she picked up Molly’s phone copying Alex’s number onto her own A sly smirk curled her lips

Nathan bounded into the room “Congratulations bro! I hear from mum that you’re getting married!”
Alex continued to ignore his brother his eyes fixed on the television
“Don’t you think you should at least say something? Like ‘thanks Nathan’ or ‘you’re welcome’?”
Alex finally tore his gaze away from the TV “Get lost”
“Ouch, that hurt Mum showed me her picture. She’s hot. You always go for the beautiful ones, don’t you?”
“Shut the fuck up Nathan”
“Imagine her big ass on my bed, and my mouth inside her pu—” Nathan’s words were cut short by Alex’s fist connecting with his jaw
Alex’s face was inches from Nathan’s “Listen if you go near her I’ll kill you”
Nathan laughed “I don’t go for them, they come for me,”
“This one is different,”
“They’re all bitches,” Nathan spat laughing again
With one hand clenched around Nathan’s collar Alex drew his fist back and delivered a bruising blow to his face “I swear on our father’s grave I will forget you are my brother And I will kill you if you go near her I let the last one slide but this time if you go near her I’ll feed your flesh to the dogs…”
