Playing With Fire (An Erotic Romance Book 2)

Chapter Three

It was the day of their wedding. Exactly a week. There were only a few people present: The Priest, A Judge, Octavio, Eva, Angelo, Draven and Lucas. Alfonso didn't bother showing up because they weren't in support of what was happening.

Adela stared at the dangerous looking man in front of her. She wondered how he always managed to look so sexy without trying. He had not said a word to her since that day at her father's office. He had been avoiding her. She was hurt. She knew he never wanted her father to find out but maybe on the bright side, they could be happy. She once heard a baby always made a home happy.

Adela watched Jose's mouth move as he repeated after the priest. She was truly sad. She knew he didn't want to marry her at all and it broke her heart. She would do anything he wanted.

It wasn't long before the ceremony was over. The atmosphere was so tense. A normal wedding would have people happy after the ceremony but no one showed any sign of happiness.

She watched as her father slapped Jose's back. She could see a smile on his face. She wasn't sure if he was welcoming him in the family. She knew Jose would get a long life lecture about her. The men in her family were always so protective of her. She sighed before she gathered her dress and made her way to sit by the pond.

"How did it happen Adela? Why didn't you tell me?" Jose asked as he looked at her. Adela gasped in shock, she would have never guessed he would be the one to come and sit with her.

"I__ I'm sorry. I didn't want you forced into this. " Adela said, she was trying to keep her emotions in check. It hurt more for her to say those words.

"I fucking know you don't. I knew this would happen. Alfonso was so onto us. " Jose said running his hand through his hair.

"He was the one that told daddy. He probably suspected from the beginning. What about Draven?" Adela asked as she watched Draven talking to her father. She didn't know why he was trusted in their family.

"No. Draven could never. It was Alfonso. Why the fuck weren't you using any contraceptives? Oh I forgot I was dealing with a child. " Jose said, starring at her beautiful face darkly. She wasn't the problem. It was the thing in her belly.

Adela wiped the tears that were flowing down her cheeks. She didn't want everyone to know she was crying but Jose was not making matters any better.

"Didn't you know you could get pregnant?" Jose asked what he had been wanting to ask since.

"I__i didn't think..." Adela started.

"I didn't fucking ask you to think. I will have nothing to do with it. Let me tell you. " Jose said, his voice filled with venom.

"Jose. You can't say that. It's your baby__" Adela said surprised at the words that came out from his mouth.

"Don't you fucking dare!" Jose said getting to his feet. He never in his life wanted to have connection with children. It had been the worst mistake of his life ever touching one in his past.

"Let's go." Jose said impatiently.

"Where are we going?" Adela asked getting to her feet.

"You'll see. " He led the way. He made his way to his Benz.

Jose watched how Eva cried while hugging her daughter. He could see Octavio was affected too. He never knew what it was like to receive affection from your parents. Both his parents resented him even if they claimed to have forgiven him.

He knew Adela was greatly loved in her family. Her bastard of a brother was so proud for not attending the wedding but he couldn't care any less. To him, it didn't feel like he was wed. Angelo gave him a nod, acknowledging the fact that he was leaving.
