Betrothed.

Married

Iris

I thought he made it clear he hated me for ruining his perfect life.
Why did he still have to marry me? He could have rejected it.
There's no hope for us because like I said no woman will want him.
C'mon Iris, have you forgotten you are married to him?
Whether forced or not, you're now Mrs Storm.

The first time I set my eyes on Kyle, I thought we could have something magical but it didn't take long for him to be my worst enemy.

I'm quite surprised how his mother is now treating me nicely.
But it's her fault we're all in this mess.

"This is the key to your apartment." She hands over the key to me.
"Kyle, be nice to her. You two can fall in love."
She hugs her son.
"I'm watching you two. No games."
She pats my shoulder.

I'm lost in the world of thinking when the car horn brings me back to reality.
I hug my grandma and Selena.
" I'm going to miss you two."
I say and get in the car.
Kyle starts the engine and off we go.
I'm leaving the place I've been for 18 years.

It's so quiet in the car. To be honest, I'm so nervous.
We're both young but we've been forced to marry.
Kyle is 3 years older than me.
"Why did you curse me?"
He finally breaks the silence.
I look at him with a sneer of disgust.
"Because you're a jerk!"

He stops the car.
"What did you just say?"
"I said you're a jerk!"
I say on top of my voice.
"You're the most despicable person I've ever known."
I add.
"I don't like you at all, Iris. Do you know why? He smirks.
"You're so ugly and dumb."

"I'm not ugly."
I defend myself. He smirks again.
"I'm quite a jerk to be your 'husband' ."
He emphasizes on the 'husband'
I roll my eyes and stare at the window.
Not a single word is said again till we reach the airport.

Kyle

She falls asleep immediately the flight begins.
Her snoring is so loud.
I listen to music to distract me from such a frightening snore.
I hate her so much.
I'm going to make her life a living hell.
If I can't be happy, then she can't be happy either.

I try to wake her up when it's announced we're landing.
With the hatred in my heart, I pinch her.
"Ouch!" She wakes up.
"We've arrived."
She looks at her arm. It's quite red.
"You're an animal."
She says and yawns.

I don't believe my mother bought an apartment that has only one room.
What's she thinking?
Iris is now going to enter into the university.
I'm still in college.
Well, she'll sleep in the couch.
"Don't even think you're going to sleep on the bed."
She warns me as she throws herself onto the bed.
"The bed is mine!"

"You're insane. The bed is mine."
"If you don't want  any trouble, get off."
"Will you kill me?" She sits up.
She sticks her tongue out mocking me.
"Iris get the fuck off the bed!"
I'm losing my temper.
"No!"
"You get the fuck out of this room!"
I force her off the bed.
I leave her on the floor.

"The bed and the room is mine so get out."
"Fine, have the room!"
She storms out of the room.
I sigh.

Iris

That idiot!
He dare to treat me like that.
I'll find a way to make his life unbearable.
Did he say the room is his?
What he doesn't want me to bath?
I must go back.
I barge into the room without knocking.
He's shirtless!
Wow those abs.

"Did you just want to see my body or what?"
"Of course not. Your body is so disgusting to look at."
I roll my eyes.
"So why are you here?"
"I want to take a shower."
"I'm not sharing the bathroom with you."
"There's only one bathroom."
I say.
Kyle shrugs. "I don't care."
"If you are stronger than me, I won't let you bully me okay."
I threaten him with a knife.

"Wow Iris."
He laughs.
"I will use the bathroom."
I try to enter the bathroom but he blocks me from entering.
"Kyle I'll kill you!"
I growl.
He's really getting on my nerves.
"Ahhhh!" I try to stab him but he takes the knife from me.
"Apart from being a witch, you're also a murderer."
I hate it when someone calls me a witch.
I slap him with all my strength.
"I'm not a witch. If I were a witch I would have...."
He covers my mouth.
"Not another word. You win. You can use the bathroom.
But please remember to knock whenever you want to come in my room."
"I wasn't going to curse you. So you're afraid of the words I utter?"
"Hurry before I change my mind."
"I'm..I'm going to get my towel."
I mutter.

That jerk tries to humiliate me?
He still thinks I'm a nobody?
"Huh, I'm his wife."
I smile.
"I Iris Luna promise to become one of the women Kyle wants but will never have."
I add.
"Are you sure?"
I turn to meet the handsome face behind the voice.
"Yes, Kyle. Very soon, you'll want me but you can't have me."
"I'll be waiting for that day."
He smirks.
I frown and go to take a shower.
He's humiliated me so much.
I'll prove to him that I can also be loved.
The game begins.

I dedicate this chapter to Audrey happy birthday in advance.
I love you.
