HATE AND DESIRES (mafia enemies to lovers romance )

CHAPTER TEN

Alex's PoV:

There's still two days till the wedding. Today is the photo shoot and I'm waiting for Vi to get downstairs so we can go.

We insisted on not doing this but we're not getting many choices in the matter.

She walks down in the most elegant light pink silk dress that reaches to her ankles and under that she wears the most sexy looking pair of heels.

What the fuck am I thinking.

I've been catching myself thinking a lot about her. She's been wreaking havoc in my head. My true chaos.
Oh the things I think of doing to her if she'd just let me.

I snap out of it and ask her, "ready?"

She doesn't say a word. Instead she heads out of the door towards the car.
I sit in the car and start driving to the place of the photo shoot.
It's an old looking place near the hillside. Behind it a full view of the city.

I get out of the car and go to open the door for her.
She looks at me weird.

"What?" I ask her.

"Nothing." She replies in an ice cool tone. She looks on the brink of loosing it. She's not dealing well with this.

We go to the place and meet the photographer.
Elias Will.
I've heard he's one of the best photographers but he's obsessed with women more than his work. He was the only one available so they booked him.

"Mr Forman, soon to be Mrs Forman, it's is nice to meet you." He shakes my hand and then turn to Vi and then he takes her hand and kisses it.

I don't know but for some reason, I feel overly protective of her, when any other man touches her.

She makes a face which tells me she doesn't want to be here.

I give Elias a warning and he seems to back off.

We start the photo shoot but I can tell Vi is not into it
Can't blame her, If I could, I'd take my car and run the fuck away from here.
But she feels a bit off.

"No no. This isn't working. I want to see the chemistry between the two of you. Im just not seeing it." He says looking disappointed.

Then he comes up to us to tell us about the poses.

Such bullshit.

Then he goes to Vi and shows me how to stand with her. He puts her hand around her waist a little lower than his hand is allowed. I see Vi get a bit uncomfortable so I snatch her and tell him in a serious tone
"We're done here. And keep your hands off her."

Then I take Vi to the car and drive out of there.

She's quiet the whole ride. When we get home she gets out of the car and starts to head for her room.
"Vi. What's up with you?" I ask her.

"I don't know Alex, you tell me." She says. Her eyes are starting to water.

No matter how many times we fought or anything I've never seen her cry.
"Tell you what?" I ask confused.

"Why is it that one second you seem like you care, like you want me and then the other second you pretend I don't even exist.
I can't take all of this. Being married to you. And I know you don't want it either so tell me! Why do you pretend to care?" She says. Her eyes burning.
