Replaced Wife (The Billionaire's Wife Series 1)

chapter 3(rewritten)

Kiara's POV:

The black is so powerful. Yet it is the color of Mourning. Today is the day when my best friend my sister by other half in a sense is going to be buried six feet under. If this is my situation now I cannot help but imagine what must Liam and little Michael will be going through.

I looked at my dress never in my life I imagined this day to come. A few tears escaped my eyes. Matthew held me to him. I am Lucky to have his support in this. "It's ok darling baby It will be all right. She is in the better place now" Matthew said cooing me.

How can she be in better place? She should have been here with us. With me as my maid of honor in my wedding instead she is going to be six feet under. "Oh Matthew why do I have to lose her? My best friend? My sister?" I asked.

All Matthew did was smile sadly. "We never know what kind of games life play Love but I can assure you it all always happens for a reason we just don't know what it is right now." He said as I placed my head over his chest.

We are currently at his hotel suite. He landed today at morning and called me. I didn't wasted any minute before running out of my mother's house. I kind of know where I am not wanted. So I ran to the place where I am wanted where I am loved.

we made the way downstairs where a car was waiting for us. He huddle me closer to him and I buried my head in his chest bathing in his scent. He is my comfort he is my home now and there is nothing in this world that can make me replace him ever.

They neared the funeral grounds and I clutched his hand tightly. I do not want this. I do not want this to happen to see my sister getting lowered six feet under no I cannot. Matthew was there for support. I am glad he is holding me because if he had let go right now I would fall down.

I throw the dirt over her casket. With Matthew holding my hand. Another set of sobs escaped my mouth. Liam was standing faraway from all of us. I don't know what will happen to him. Or what is the fate of little Mike.  I don't know how much they are suffering for I know how much they had loved each other.

As we reached the house  I felt more bad. I don't want to see the memories of my sister spread across Liam's house. I looked at her pictures with him. Happiness was something that always had followed my sister around. Alas I always had difficulty in finding the same. Matthew used himself as his phone rang probably he didn't wanted to disturb me.

I saw him looking forlorn and sad but when he saw me he was surprised. His expression changed into amusement and it made me think what could possibly will be going on into his brain.

"Wow you just look like her. I never thought I can be seeing her face again so soon alive and well." He said astonishment clear in his voice. "I am just like her because she was my twin sister older by a minute or two but still she was my twin." I said dryly.

I have been meeting my brother in- law Liam for the first time and let me just say I am not impressed by him. He is broken utterly because my sister was the love of his life. I expected him to shed tears and cry but he was just like that indifferent to the world and me.

I saw his lips curled up in a smile not the good kind and It made me think whatever is going to come from his mouth will not be good. And I didn't knew how right I was then.

"Listen" He says trying to get my attention. "Yes what do you want?" I asked. "I want you to marry me and be my wife" I was taken aback. How could he say that. It had not been twenty four hour since my sister died and he proposed me to be his wife? How low can he get?

"Are you out of your mind? It is her funeral and you are trying to move on so soon from her? Don't you have any grievance or maybe a little sadness in that cold heart of yours?" I asked. "My heart and all of me always belong to her My Samara. And I am just asking you because the sake of my son."He said bitterly.

"He thinks you are his mother and I will do anything to keep him happy even if I have to marry Samara's twin sister in order to keep it that way. I cannot lose my child too" He spat. Oh so he wants me to be his wife so that he don't have to tell my nephew that his mother died.

"Not in any circumstances I will become your wife sir you are mistaken if you think you can ever manipulate me with this." I said getting up and turning around to leave.

"Not my wife you cannot take her place no one can. My replaced wife is all I want you to be" He said through gritted teeth.

"Well Then I refuse to be your replaced wife Mr. Rhodes" I spat walking away. Oh Matthew what the hell are you? "I am not going to be part of your delusional skims So god help me I am going to help Matthew marry me here rather than in America" i gritted my teeth.

He caught my hand suddenly and pulled me to him. Why I always face the most awkward situations? Damn it. "Let me rephrase it Miss Kiara Samantha Clark that I will make you mine by hook or by crook there is nothing I mean nothing can stop me from getting you from making you mine are we clear?" He asked

His mouth landed on my neck and I felt helpless in his arms. Angry tears threatened to escape my mouth. Sobs escaped my mouth as he held on to me for his dear life.  He pulled back and surely there was a satisfying smirk plastered on his face. A handsome Devil of a face.

My hand flew to his face on it's own accord and I slapped him hard. "Don't you dare do that ever again. Got it? Don't you dare touch me I am not some replacement I am person" Million's of emotions filled his face some I can never understand.

Then he looked at me and said "It is just the beginning Mon Amore . Soon You will see what meant by being mine. By hook or by crook" He left me there standing as a fear surged through me about what this man might be capable of.

 Matthew came back to me and smiled at me sadly. Then he sensed my distress he kissed my temple and I hugged him tightly. He had been my solace for so long that I can hardly imagine a life without him.

"Oh baby It will be alright what ever it is we will face it together Love ok?" He said softly. "Ok But I want to go Home Matt. Can you not take me home?" I asked. "As soon as the weather clears I will take you home I promise Love now let's go Inside everyone must have been waiting for us"

I wanted to run away but somehow with Matthew by my side I think nothing ever can go back wrong. I might be right or I might be wrong who know what can be waiting for us in future and If I take Liam's threat into account nothing good is going to be come  in the future only more and more trouble.

And why is he so hung up on me anyways? "Momma" I looked at two year old Michael and my heart broke all over again. What he have ever did to deserve this? What he ever did to have someone so important snatched away from him.

"Up" He said and I put him on my hip carefully. He looked at Matthew and studied him carefully. "Who are you little man?" Matthew asked. "I am Michael who you? Why hugging momma? Dada hug momma only" He said scowling which looked adorable on his cheek.

"Because I am going to marry your momma" Matthew said. "No momma mine and dada's Bad man not take momma away" Surprisingly he kicked Matthew hard. "Michael" I shouted. Liam came and he ran towards him from my Lap. "Matt I am so sorry" I said. "It's ok I am alright you know how fond I am of children" Matthew laughed and it made me smile.

"What is going on here?" Liam asked suddenly when everyone turned around to look at us. "Your son had kicked Matthew" I glared at him. "It is not his fault apparently he was taking his mom away" Liam said smirking.
