Allure of Darkness!

18. Doomed?

Marona's POV

I don't know where we are going and I didn't bother to ask about it either because it's of no use, I will get twisted answers and my brain needs rest to process that because I am tired. Too tired to think about anything.

Never in my life have I thought that I would marry twice and the second wedding will be the most traumatic wedding of the century. Leonardo's screams are still crashing in my mind.
I don't care how badly he died, how much in pain he was or he deserved it or not.
What bothers me is, the way this man tortured him before his death. The man who is my husband. He crushed his bones to dust, he is my husband! The husband who will touch me with the same hands which are covered in blood. I am a doctor who saves people and he kills them. I know that Laurence was also involved in this dark web but he never let me witness murder.

I looked at his hands which were too strong and veiny, how does he do delicate work with these large hands. He is busy talking on the phone just like Laurence used to be. He never paid attention to me and I am sure Mikhail will be the same. He looks more rogue than Laurence, a tough and powerful man. Why would he care about something delicate, like my life!

Is he reading my mind because as soon as I thought about it his strong palm rested on my thigh and froze. I still need to get used to his touches because it freaks me out.

I fisted on my dress tightly while staring at his palm which is caressing my thigh and weird feeling travelled in my skin.
He didn't look at me, it's only his hand which is giving me attention.

I waited for some time with a shaky breath but he didn't do anything other than that so I slowly relaxed and my eyes started dropping with exhaustion.
I am still at a wedding dress and my legs are hurting after standing for long.

Are we really going for a honeymoon or is it something else.
Whatever it is, I just pray to god for the courage to face everything.

I still can't believe that I am now married to Mikhail. How's my life going to be now?
I slipped into the deep slumber and felt something strong wrapping around me. I couldn't help but snuggle into the warmth.

I don't know after how long I opened my eyes and saw that the car was parked in front of the villa.
I rubbed my eyes and looked out curiously, it was a beautiful, vintage house with aesthetic vibes. Not too big, not too small.

The guards quickly opened the door and I stepped out. Mikhail also came out and guards greeted him.
I looked around but couldn't see much as it was already dark and the lights were dim.

"Maids will show you the way."
Mikhail placed a hand on my shoulder and gestured for me to go inside.

I nodded and followed the maid. As I thought, the house is beautiful and I would have been dancing in excitement if it was a vacation but it's not.

"What would you like to have for dinner, Ma'am?"
The maid asked as she stopped in front of the room.

"Nothing... I am not hungry. Thank you!"
I replied and opened the door. My stomach is full after whatever happened at the wedding.

My breath hitched when I saw the room is decorated for a married couple. Candles, rose petals everywhere and romantic lights. I am sure this is Lovina because Mikhail doesn't seem to be like a rose petal guy.

I tried to control my nervous breathing and went to the washroom and freshened up. There is nothing to change into, I don't know if anyone has thought about arranging some clothes for me?

I gathered my wedding dress in my hands so it won't get dirty and walked out.
What do I do now? My stomach is twisting in knots after looking at the bed.
