Sins of the contract

10.

Ameha's POV

Today is the day I'll marry him but I'm so scared. I wonder if the decision I made is right or not but I don't think I can back out now can I? We reached the location early. Lorenzo sent a car for us.

I was sitting in a room and Mia was helping me to get ready.

"I'm so happy for you" she placed her hands on my shoulder and looking into my eyes through the reflection in the mirror.

I couldn't speak all I did was to smile at her. There was a knock on the door Mia answered, when the door opened there was a young beautiful lady standing.

"Hi, you must be the bride." She came towards me with a big smile on her face. "I'm Maria, Lorenzo's younger sister" she was looking at me with a smile. Why is she smiling so much?

"Umm hi, I'm Ameha nice to meet you Maria" I extended my hand in her direction. "nice to meet you too, you look so beautiful no wonder my brother fell for you" we shake hands.

Does she not know that we are not in love, it's just a simple contract? I can never fall for him moreover he's not my type. I don't know how to react so I just smiled awkwardly.

"Can't wait for you to join the family now finally I'll have a company in that big house" she said.

She is not that bad I mean she's sweet and easy to vibe with. We were talking to each other and getting to know more about each other.

Soon an old lady came and told me to come downstairs for the ceremony. And suddenly I felt a weird feeling in my stomach. I felt short of breath.

According to Catholic rituals, the bride's father walks down the aisle with her but as such I have no family here Mia was accompanying me.

As a kid I always wanted a Catholic wedding and now here I'm getting married but the man is not my choice he was forced on me.

When I reached down all I did was to look at him. We can't deny the fact that he's so handsome. I could see his tempting body through perfectly fitted dress suit. First few button of his shirt ware undone and I could see his toned chest. Only a few people were invited mostly from his side and I have nobody here except a few friends I made during my masters.

The priest started and he said to Lorenzo "Do you take Ameha Ratnani for your lawful wife, to have and to hold, from this day forward, for better, for worse, for richer, for poorer, in sickness and in health, until death do you part?" for which Lorenzo said "I do".

"Do you take Lorenzo Rossi for your lawful husband, to have and to hold, from this day forward, for better, for worse, for richer, for poorer, in sickness and in health, until death do you part?" I wanted to say no but "I do".

After exchanging the rings "I pronounce you as husband and wife under law" the priest said "you may kiss the bride"

At this statement I was shocked. Will he kiss me? What if I don't want him to touch me? Before I could react he placed a thumb on my lips and kissed the thumb. Everyone there started cheering.

After everyone congratulated us he came near me

"I want you to meet someone" he whispered in my ears.

We went near the bar "meet her she's my sister" he said introducing Maria.

"We already met this morning brother" Maria said before I could say anything. I smiled and she excused herself. I still wonder why did he not kiss me? Am I that bad?

"Why didn't you kiss me earlier" I instantly regrated when the words fell from my mouth. He gave a mischievous smile "you want me to kiss you?" he said coming close to my face.

I pushed his face and said "no, stay away".

Maria forced us to dance together so we had to dance. While dancing we made an eye contact and I saw no emotion in his eyes.

I know it's fake marriage but still showing emotion is basic. I accidently twisted my ankle and fell on him to support myself. He had a very strong body.

I was blushing like a fool. I'm sure he could see my red cheeks because he gave me that mischievous look. Oh god this man and the faces he makes.

After meeting a few more guest we finally reached home. We were in the same car. His sister and his friend were in another car because they thought we should have some privacy. I can't stand this man he's so arrogant.

It took us almost 40 minutes when the car stopped in front of a big house actually a mansion. My entire apartment can fit in its hall. Inside the mansion, grandeur reigns supreme.

From the towering foyer with its gleaming marble floors and cascading crystal chandelier, to the sumptuous living spaces adorned with plush velvet and intricate woodwork, every room whispers of wealth and elegance. Expansive windows frame manicured gardens, while opulent furnishings and fine art punctuate the luxurious ambiance. The mansion is a symphony of refined taste and timeless beauty, a sanctuary where luxury meets architectural splendor at every turn.

"Welcome to the family Ameha" Maria voice distracted me from the Sumptuous surroundings. "Thank you" I smiled at her. She cannot be his sister she's way too sweet to be his sister.

Before I could say anything Maria director me upstairs with her. I followed her. Through the beautiful staircase we stopped in front of a bedroom.

I suppose it's gonna be my room. When I entered it was luxurious, all the things were black and grey.

"You will sleep here with your husband" she giggled. wait am I supposed to share this room with him. Fuck no, never. Before I could say anything Lorenzo entered inside.

"Maria, if you are done can you leave us alone?" he said and left me in shock while she shrugged and left.

"My sister has no idea about this so, we need to share room" he started walking to the bathroom. I had no option and I actually feel so helpless here.

I decided to change out of the dress. I went towards the closet. When I opened the closet to set my cloths, I saw it was already full with so many cloths and all branded.

I took a pair of night suit with shorts and a top. When Lorenzo came outside I went inside to change. He has my facewash and all my skin products. Wait, is he a stalker?

I pushed away all the thoughts and let the hot water run down my naked body. After a quick shower I went outside. Lorenzo was standing half naked.

He was shirtless, and suddenly I felt an urge to run my hands through his body. He was well sculpted with broad shoulders, six pack abs, tight chest.

"If you are Glaring at my body we can sleep" I felt embarrassed and walked towards the bed. "will you sleep here on the bed?" I asked with a confused look.

"Don't expect me to sleep on the couch" he said sitting on the bed.

"Okay, I'll go and sleep on the couch" I walked on the couch and laid there. He turned off the lights.

I tried to change my position but all of a sudden I fell down with a loud bang echoed "ouch" I said rubbing my bum and he instantly turned the lights.

I expected him to laugh at me but to my surprise he came towards me and carried me in his arms and placed me onto the bed. And turned off the lights.
