"Don't even expect me to touch someone who's as cheap as you. I'm even ashamed to admit that you're my wife. Lilith Maeve Ashbourne, I despise you and your name. You're as wicked as your name." Leaving his newly wedded wife alone in the room, he exited slamming the door shut. His mean words filled with venom hit her heart making it crushed into pieces.
In a way she doesn't even love him nor did she like him. But still he's her husband whom she wedded legally. For a girl who's as innocent and reserved as her, she didn't expect her own husband to bash her with such disrespectful words. If he doesn't like her then why marry her? The clock ticked 9pm in the night without her knowledge and she stayed seated on the king sized bed hugging her knees to her chest and wrapping her arms around herself.
The door creaked open swiftly making her flinch due to the sudden impact, her husband's foot steps echoed making his way to her and she knew that he doesn't want her near him. Getting off the bed she stood straight and walked towards the exit but a deep voice echoed making her halt.
"Where are you going my wife?" His authoritative yet sexy voice made her halt, strangely giving her chills down her spine. Even before she could speak further her back got collided with wall and her eyes met his red ones. Just now they were deep blue, resembling an ocean, but now they were similar to the pits of hell.
"Anas-" Her words got shushed by him wrapping his large veiny hand around her neck making her startle. Her heart beat quickened as soon as she heard his last words.
"Strip for your master!" A sudden gasp left her lips as she stared at her husband's lustful eyes. Leaning close to her ear, he whispered tracing his lips over her earlobe.
"My Lilith, don't delay or I might tear your beautiful dress into pieces."
Little did she know that she was getting trapped in the deception of a Devil. And her marriage was just a facade.
