Athena's P.O.V

Everything was a wonderful memory. I stare at the beautiful moon who was sitting like a goddess. The moonlight was exuberant and so stars? Everything was wonderful.
Windows were wide open and the cream-colored cotton curtains were moving so slowly as it was keeping up with the pace of the wind. The cool wind touched my face and I took a deep breath to calm my thumbing nervousness. My hands were trembling and my heart had lost its rhythm as it was beating so louder and faster.

I slowly walked towards the window and hold the railings. The coldness of the steel of the window railing bought a soothing to my nerves. As I looked out the window I could see the wild bushes and trees moving slowly. Tall lampposts around the mansion had illuminated the surroundings so brightly. The voices of the crickets singing in a group didn't fail to get my attention. All these made me realize that the night is more beautiful and relaxing than the sunny day in this season of summer.

I was lost in my thoughts as I didn't notice a figure standing behind me. I was peeping out the window until I heard a deep clearing of the throat and felt a strong smell of musk. So manly. Suddenly I turned and faced the owner of this manly aura.

His eyes were the color of the ocean and he was looking straight into my eyes like he always does. His jaws were so sharp, his fairly long and pointed noses always itch me to touch it and my eyes would never miss the sight of his perfect lips. I always want to touch his well-groomed locks of dark brown natural hair. His muscular body chants dominance and he is the perfect man.
I was awakened from my time of admiring him when I was pushed to the nearby wall. He was so close to me as I could feel his minty breath on my face. He held my hand so tightly and raised it above my head. I could clearly feel my body touching his. His glare was so strong as it could penetrate into my soul and take it away from me.

"Well my dear future bride didn't expect me to be in her chamber which screams luxury and status" he spat venomously in a sarcastic manner.

Luxury and status

I couldn't raise my voice against him because I was easy to break. I am fragile. All I could do was take the insult and look away.

His one hand held my hands together above my head and the other hand touched my arms moving to my neck. His hand stood awhile on my neck which bought goosebumps all over my body. His hand then traveled to my jaw and held it tightly. He lifted my face so I was looking straight into his penetrating eyes.

" I don't want you to turn away when I am talking to you because I don't accept these kinds of insults from anyone. Especially if it is coming from you. Understood?" His words were so strong and conveyed the anger boiling inside him.

I nodded weakly at him.

" I am the unluckiest man alive. I can't even choose a perfect girl and marry her. I am forced to marry an ugly and gold digging slum as a wife. Look at yourself, look how ugly you are. You don't deserve a man like me and I don't deserve to marry a bitch like you at all. Why can't you just fucking go to your mother? And most importantly what poison did you give my dad that he is even forcing me to marry a low life like you?" He spat coldly.

If I said his words didn't affect me then it would be a big lie because his words were sharper than a sword and didn't fail to poke my heart. Like a weak person I was I stood in front of him with tears flowing through my cheeks,

"Look how pathetic you are? You can't even come to face the truth and I wonder how you are going to live with me as my lovely, sweet and innocent wife." He told us he moved my hair out of my face.

" pl-l-ea-ssse... I. Don-" I was cut off as he pulled me and pushed me to the wall harshly. My head hit the wall not to so lightly and my tears blurred my vision.

"Don't you dare open your mouth! Athena, fucking Athena listen carefully you are not going to enjoy your life with me because I am fully prepared to make your life a living hell. A fucking living hell. Am I clear my dear maid bride? " He told as he pushed me back against the wall and walked towards the door without sparing a glance at me.

I fell to the ground helplessly as I was shattered to thousands of pieces of a puzzle which I couldn't solve myself. I bought my knees to my chest and rest my head on my knees and cried out my sorrows.

His words were echoed in my head as I could hear him screaming again and again at me the words which made me fall apart a few minutes ago.

Fucking Athena

Ugly

Gold digging slum

Lowlife

Go to your mother

Bitch

Pathetic

And finally a Maid Bride.
