Marcus POV

Dinner went better than I thought it would, Rebecca and Sophia instantly clicked and Mom was in love with her, she never wanted to leave her side and Rebecca didn't seem as if she had a problem either. I was glad that she got along with my family, I had enough drama going on my house and didn't want to add my family's disapproval of my marriage, they were already upset about the big secret I kept for so long.

Rebecca fit perfectly into the knight clan, she even got Joanna and Athena calling her auntie Becca. The family accepted her with open arms and that is all I ever wanted.

If my family could get along with her I think I could too and that was what I tried to do but Rebecca was one difficult woman.

On the drive home from the family dinner I decided to try to make it work with Rebecca because we had our whole life together, her father made sure of that. She seems like a very nice person, a little cold but nice, she was also hot and beautiful and I couldn't deny that she would good in my arms. I knew that she didn't like me much, who am I kidding she hates me and I don't blame her. Her father and I literally made a major decision that affects her life tremendously without her consent,  her father told me that his daughter knew and that she's 100% on board but I should have known better. The way his father talked about her sometimes you could know that she was the black sheep of the family, the daughter Mr. Parks couldn't bend to his will. 

I glanced at her, she was truly beautiful, my heart fluttered slightly. 

When we arrived I went and open the door for her, she gave me a look that said what are you doing and honestly I  didn't know. I thought that if I behave more of a gentleman she would warm up to me. but instead, she gave me weird looks and got irritated.

Two days ago I went to work late, I stayed back a little bit so Rebecca and I could have breakfast and talk but when she came downstairs she was dressed up. she took up an apple from the fruit basket on the countertop and headed out not even stopping to acknowledge that I was there. 

Yeah she mage it pretty clear she didn't want to make friends 

So now today was our wedding day and I didn't know what to expect from her today. Everything was beautifully done and I had to commend Mrs. Parks for that. I knew that Catherine wanted the best for her daughter and I knew she felt that getting married to me wasn't the best decision but she wouldn't dear go against her husband's word, she was too submissive for that. 

Yesterday we both had our individual bachelor and bachelorette parties. James wanted to double-check and see if I was sure what I was and that I really wanted this. He knew how I felt and my views on the whole love thing and if I won't marry for love, why not marry for the company and the success of the business. The party was amazing and the guys made my last night as a single man worthwhile. I didn't drink much, the last thing I wanted was to have a hangover on my wedding day, that's bad publicity. 

I looked in the mirror, the navy blue suit I was wearing looked good on me, mom picked it out saying that it family tradition that every knight man wear a navy blue suit to his wedding. I didn't know why but it was tradition and who goes against tradition? 

"Oh my baby, I never thought I would live to see this day" I looked around to see my mom looking at me, her hand over her mouth as she sobs quietly. 

"Mom I thought you had more fate in me but anyways stop the crying you're ruining your makeup"

"Am I?" she said, she walked to the mirror then gasped " I can't go out there looking like this " and with that she was off. 

I looked down on my watch to see the time, it was 10: 45

"Its showtime " 

*********

The wedding went exceptionally well, Rebecca looked beautiful, who was I kidding she looked stunning, her mermaid wedding dress fitted her in all the right places. I couldn't take my eyes off her the whole time. Family and friends congratulated us, the press got some good shots, everyone seems to believe that we were happy together and I was glad. 

I got a call towards the end off the reception about an urgent meeting I had to attend in France and I knew Rebecca won't be happy to tag along.
