Maid Bride

Chapter 5

Athena's POV

I walked down the aisle wearing an expensive gown which is an extreme contrast to my existence and value in their life.

Born as a fatherless girl to a maid, who had spent half of her life in their mansion, working day and night to feed and give me a life. My mother had endured too much pain in upbringing me. She couldn't enjoy her life because of me.

I let the tears find their way out of my eyes. I didn't even care about the hours the beautician took to make my eyes smoky and beautiful. I didn't care whether I looked beautiful or not. I was okay even if the layers of makeup they had dumped on my face are smudged. I don't want to look beautiful.

Uncle Robert had taken the initiative of holding my hands and taking me to the place where Joshua and the priest stood. The soft melodious music which didn't miss the symphony was playing in the background. I looked down and walked, not because I was shy. I was scared of the future with Joshua.

My fate is so cruel.

As we reached the end, uncle Robert placed my hands on Joshua's. I looked at him as I felt his big hands wrapping mine. His eyes which is the color of the ocean didn't fail to show his coldness out.

I stood there blankly. My body stood there physically but my mind was somewhere near the hell which he is going to create for me. I didn't even notice Joshua taking his vows. I didn't even bother to put my feelings like all the brides when I said my vows. My vows were fake as it was written by Lily for me. 
I replied I do, to what they have asked me. I gave away my life for him to shatter.

I was pulled by Joshua as I felt his both hands on my hips, holding me tightly. I looked at his cold eyes which made my heart to miss a beat. His face inched closer to mine. I bit my lips to hide the sudden rush of nervousness and the shyness I felt.
He moved his hands to my face and pulled my lower lip which I was biting. Seconds later, I felt his lips covering mine and it was a bliss. He moved his lips softly and in a pleasurable manner. Before pulling out he bit my lips lightly which was more than enough to make my adrenaline rush hardly.
It was a sweet kiss which I didn't expect from Joshua.

We faced the crowd who were busy in cheering for us. I saw many unfamiliar faces than any familiar face. They might be Joshua's relatives and friends.

We walked out of the church, only to face a group of paparazzi, who stood there with their cameras and ladies who held the microphone in their hands. I had never encountered a group of paparazzi let alone one. This scared the shit out of me. Their gazes and cameras were fixed towards me. Not to look rude I gave them my fake smile. But Joshua, on the other hand, was really cool and unbothered about the cameras surrounding us. He was answering to their quarries, questions and was even joking with them. All I did was, held his hand tightly and gave a nervous awkward smile to everyone.

A black limousine came to take us to the destination where they held the reception. Joshua held my hand and took me to the limousine. He even opened the door for me to enter like a gentleman would. I know he was acting as a sweet husband to put a show for the media.

When he entered the limousine, he sat opposite to me and smirked at me. His cold smirk was giving hundreds of hints about his cruel intentions. Slowly his smirk turned into a fully open and dangerous glare. His jaw was clenched and his eyes were darker. He looked dangerous.

To avoid his glare I looked down at my lap where I have held my hands together in a praying manner.

When we reached our reception hall Joshua started playing the role of the sweet caring husband. He fed me a slice of cake and took me for a dance. He even cut the chicken in my plates for me to eat when we had dinner with the guests. His behavior was so odd as it was totally different from the Joshua whom I know. I allowed him to overpower me.

We bid our goodbyes to the guests and went to his mansion. It was so huge and beautiful. It screams luxury and money.
Joshua stopped pretending as the role of the sweet caring husband as soon as we reached his mansion. He went back to his old cold and arrogant self. I walked behind him pulling my travel bag which has some of my old clothes and my precious belongings.

My breath was caught when I took the interior of the mansion. It was beautiful and breathtaking. I opened my mouth in awe as I haven't seen a mansion as beautiful as this. Even the Walker mansion would not outshine Joshua's. The white marble floor was itching me to remove my heels and feel the coldness of the floor.

What made me confused was that I couldn't even find a single servant in the mansion. My curiosity made me ask Joshua " Are we going to stay here alone? I mean, Uncle Robert and Agatha will be at Florida. So we will be here alone. Also, I couldn't see any servants here."

As a reply to my question, he let out a deep chuckle.

" We will be all alone in this place and most importantly why should I get a servant to cook and clean when I had married a servant?" He said as he walked closer to me.

I was speechless at his reply. He wants me to do all the chores alone.

I gulped down as I looked him in the eyes. His cruelty had highlighted his facial features.

"Dear Athena, I expect you to do all wifely duties. Even opening your legs wider for me to enter your cunt and fuck you mercilessly ." He told as he lifted my chins making me looking straightly into his ocean blue eyes.
His words were the definition of vulgarity. He was speaking openly about his wants and needs of pleasure.

I could feel his hard body pressing against mine. I can feel his erection poking at my stomach which didn't fail to get my attention.
I had to google something about what had taken place in the airplane yesterday. What we did was making out and the hard thing which was poking me was his erection or better say his genital.

His eyes have become darker and I could feel the heat radiating throughout my body. His demeanor was not cold or arrogant but it was something else. Something like hunting your prey.

I am not ready for anything that he wants to do with my body for his pleasure. To escape from him I moved backward.
But my actions were useless as he had gripped my hands and pulled me towards him. My body hits his hard chest. I tried moving away from him but my efforts were helpless like me.

" Let go of me" I begged him to leave me alone.

"Not yet my dear Athena, fulfill your duties and do whatever you want to do, " he told as he gave me his signature smirk.

I clearly understood what he was conveying tome. But why can't he give me some time to accept and adjust?
I never had any intimate experience with anyone and to give myself to him without acknowledging it would be equal to getting raped.

I let my tears show my emotions. I cried helplessly as he took me to the master bedroom. He threw me on the bed and locked the doors quickly.

I moved towards the headboard of the bed as a way to stay far away from him as far as possible. He let out a cruel laugh and walked towards the bed.

" My dear Athena, I will show you how strong and powerful I am. Also, how helpless and poor you are. Aren't you excited?" He said the last part sarcastically.

Excited?

No, I was not at all excited for my destruction.

I shook my head continuously with my vision blurred with tears.

He came closer to me and pulled me to a standing position. I no longer looked at his devilish self. I let my dignity to shatter as he gripped my wedding gown leaving me in a torn form.

I was semi-naked in front of him with only in my undergarments which had covered my certain areas.
He pushed me to the bed and he was hovering above me.
He touches were not soft but it was painful.

Even too painful for my heart
