Chapter 3 - Memories of that night.
Duke's POV
With a bored expression, I look at the crowd of people dancing on the dance floor. As I sip my beer, I can hear the loud music echoing off the walls of the bar where I was.
"Hello cute boy, you got company tonight?" a drunk woman asked as she sat beside where I was sitting.
I stared at her boredly and said, "Move," I remarked as I stared coldly in the eyes.
The woman glared at me, surprised by my response, "Jerk!" she yelled, and then she left my side.
As I continued to drink my glass of alcohol, I picked up my phone to kill time when I noticed someone had messaged me. I read the message right away because I was surprised that my body had suddenly stood due to the message I had received.
From: ex-fiance
We are going to the FATED BAR with my sis. (Heart).
Message received 1 hour ago.
"FUCK?" I exclaimed angrily after reading the message.
As I stood up to look for her in the center of the crowd, I couldn't find her because there were so many people dancing and talking. That's why I just decided to message back, as I was busy composing my message in frustration and anger.
" Hey sir, can I have my refill?"
I heard a familiar voice, which caused me to stop what I was doing and slowly turn my head in the direction of the voice. There she was in her blue sexy top and jeans, with her wavy hair that it was as if dancing in the air.
The bartender was about to refill her drink when I pretended to lose my balance in front of her which caused her glass to spill on the counter.
" I a….m sorry miss" I apologize as I pretended to be drunk in front of her.
She just gave me a cheeky grin and said, "It's ok...ay, you didn't mean it," in a drunken voice. She stared at me deeply with her vivid cerulean eyes and pretended to be cute in front of me. "You look cute, mister, are you hitting on me?" she innocently questioned.
I smiled back at her "What if I am what will you do?" I asked in a seductive voice.
"You naughty boy, well I will forgive you because you are a handsome mister," she smiled back at me.
"Well, I guess I'm lucky to be a handsome man," I told her.
"Yeah, do you want to dance?" she asked, his vivid cerulean eyes gleaming with excitement.
I pretended to consider her question before responding, "Well, I don't really like dancing."
She just laughed at my reply " I don't take a no from you mister, you will dance as payment for spilling my drink" she declared and grabbed my arm before I could say anything as we walked towards the center.
She began to dance in front of me, to the beat of the music, just like everyone else in the center. But my gaze is fixed on her, who is dancing in front of me with glee in her eyes.
"You should dance as well, Mister!" " she cried above the thunderous background music, bouncing her hips in a mesmerizing manner that drew the licentious gazes of the males around us.
I just smiled awkwardly at her and tried to dance a little to satisfy her request. Also to cover her body from those licentious gazes that are coming from the male around us. And she laughed at how awkward I was dancing and continued to dance.
After a time, I realized her brisk movements dragged. "Tired?" I whispered, while she leaned over my shoulder.
She nodded. “Yeah,” Elaine bit down on her bottom lip, and looked at me with her seductive vivid cerulean eyes.
Damn.
I didn't say a word and just grabbed her arm and Started to walk within the crowd of people who were dancing. The hip hop music and its powerful bass drowned out her cheerful laughter as I dragged her out, we soon reached through the exit door and out into the cold night's air. I pinned her to the wall, lucky for us the alley way was an empty one.
"You—" she reached for my black shirt, tiptoed, and drew my face towards her for a passionate kiss. A kiss that triggered something in me, like an off switch being switched on. I grabbed her hands and yanked them away from me, confused.
" Stop talking and just fuck me already mister" she commanded as her eyes filled with hot desire.
Double damn.
"Are you sure about that, miss?" I whisper, my voice trembling with want as my hands roamed over her body. As I start kissing each side of her neck.
"Ah, yes more," she groaned, her body responding to my touch and keeping her body grinding to mine.
And that was all I needed to give in to my urge and began touching her inside her shirt. She moaned as I touched her chest with my bare hands.
"Oh, my God yes please!" She agreed in pleasure as she started to touch my own body looking for the warmth of my body.
" You like that huh?" I mumbled as I slowly put her shirt up to kiss her bra to tease her and it did work out for she looked at me with desperation and desire in her eyes.
So I carefully removed the bra that was in my way and kissed her chest fiercely while caressing it, causing her to gasp loudly in ecstasy. She rubs her private part in my tight, urging me to touch it. Which made me groan in pleasure when she did it.
" Ah! Ah! Oh my god, please!" She begs me as I kiss her breast, eating the beautiful cuisine in front of me and worshiping it with all my heart.
After I finished feasting on her chest, I returned to feverishly kissing her lips as our tongues danced together inside our mouths with passion. We kissed for almost 30 minutes before we stopped to take a deep breath , our heads so close together while we rested.
" Let's get out of here," I said as I nipped in her ears, making her quiver in need again.
After 20 minutes of finding and walking towards the nearest hotel , we finally arrived at the room we checked in and continued what we left off .
"Kiss me, sir," Elaine said as soon as we entered the room, longing for my touch.
So I gave in to her request and kissed her harder on the lips than we had in the empty alley. She sprang into my body while still kissing my lips, and I carried her as if she weighed nothing.
" Ah! Ah more!" she murmured in desire as she grabbed my shirt and yanked it away from my body, which I promptly removed and tossed to the side. She touched my body as I pinned her again on the wall to remove her shirt and bra all together and feast on her chest again as I licked and sucked in which let Elaine moan satisfaction.
After that, we headed towards the bedroom, still passionately kissing each other's lips and feeling each other's heated body. I quickly slid her body into the bed, and with hunger in my eyes, I stared at her one final time before continuing.
*BANG*
My train of thought was cut short when the sound of the door slamming brought me back to the present.I just laughed as the woman who would become my wife stormed out of the room in rage. I enjoy seeing her get worked up and irritated at me.
Chapter 4 - Wedding DayElaine's POVAfter I finished getting ready the next day, I went straight to my father's office to attempt to persuade him to cancel the marriage. But Duke Hayes was in Father's office with him, which irritated me even more. Because, after battling over ending this marriage, the father's decision is irreversible and cannot be altered. So I went out, leaving in my father's office, enraged and wanting to murder that jerk Duke Hayes with my two hands while going back to my room.Damn it.When I looked at my bed and saw the white wedding gown that I would be wearing, I felt an overwhelming feeling of surrender. I didn't expect to wear this gown so soon in my life; I was planning to marry in my 30s, but now I'm going to marry at the age of 25."Perhaps I should just elope to get out of this marriage," I whispered to myself.I touched the soft and silky wedding gown, thinking about the lucky women who can wear this gown with the person they love in the first place, a
Chapter 5 - Married CoupleElaine's POVWhen I reached the front door of the church immediately a wedding song was played in the background. I could feel the stares of everyone at me. Which is making me want to walk away from all of this."My dear, you look so beautiful in your wedding gown," Father said, smiling and looking at me with joy in his eyes.Why is everyone happy at my wedding when I am the only one who is unhappy?Mother came close to me and smiled proudly, saying, "Of course she is beautiful because I am her beautiful mother, Elaine's beauty came from me."I didn't say anything and decided to pretend to smile despite the fact that all I wanted to do at the time was cry. My father and I began walking down the aisle after Father and Mother spoke.My heart was racing faster and faster, and I couldn't tell if I was nervous about the marriage or about the man I was going to marry.I just keep my head down while walking because I don't want everyone to see my unhappy and about t
Chapter 6 - Wedding kissElaine's POV Everyone clapped their hands in joy when Father announced that we finally became a husband and wife. While I pretended to smile in their presence.“In the sight of God and these witnesses, I now pronounce you husband and wife! You may now kiss!” the priest said with a smile on his face.Wait what?!When everyone heard what the priest said, they cheered and began chanting loudly, "Kiss! Kiss! Kiss!"No way, I'm not kissing this man! Over my dead body, of course. When Duke suddenly pulled me towards him, I protested violently and tried to step away from him. He removed my veil in my face while tightly gripping my waist with one hand.Before I could protest, he kissed me on the lips in front of everyone, causing them to gasp and shout in delight.The clamor of the people inside the chapel was silenced as our lips touched. As though everyone had come to a halt for a few seconds. My body feels a tingling feeling that puzzles me as to what it signifies
Chapter 7 - Family Dance TraditionDuke's POVWhen we got to the hotel, Elaine went straight to the hotel room I had arranged for her, without saying anything to me.I can't blame her; Elaine's mad at me for marrying her instead of her sister Davina, who was my first Fiance until we all learnt Elaine was my bride all along. It wasn't my fault; it was my grandfather's tactic to violate Elaine's grandfather's agreement.I know it's wrong to feel pleased, but I can't stop myself since, despite her hatred for me, I finally have her as my wife. I'll do my best to make her like me even a tiny bit. Then I'll be content since I'm not supposed to feel glad with what I've done to Elaine."Is everything ready in my wife's room?" I questioned the hotel employee before proceeding to my own room."Yes sir, don't worry, everything is ready for your wife in her room," the hotel employee assured me as she responded to my question." Good," I replied.I then went to my room to change into more comfy c
Chapter 8 - Wedding Night PART ONE: forgotten duty.Elaine's POVWe had been dancing for however long we had been looking into each other's eyes when suddenly there was a loud applause that stopped whatever had been happening to us. Which was the sign that the song had just ended.I was still holding Duke's body when I realized what had just happened, which surprised me. I quickly moved away from him in fear as if what had just happened had never occurred.What the hell just happened?Duke followed suit and moved away from me as soon as I did. I was still unsure of what had happened while they were dancing back there when I saw my mother-in-law walking towards us with my father-in-law by her side.Mother-in-law said, "Wow that dance is so beautiful dear!," gazing at both of them with tears in her eyes.Father-in-law said in a proud voice, "It's a sign from above you are destined together and our ancestors accept you in our family dear."It's so strange to me that I can no longer under
Chapter 9 - Wedding Night PART 2 : Not a virgin Elaine's POVI felt a little uneasy during the 30-second period of silence because he was neither speaking nor responding to what I had just said aloud.I suppose I'm a little disappointed in his response because in some of the movies I've seen, when a husband discovers that his wife is no longer virgin, he becomes furious and divorces me right away." Hey, did you hear me?! I said I am no longer a virgin and had a one night stand with a stranger before this marriage!" I spoke up again, growing impatient with the room's long silence.That's why I said that—to enrage him and obtain the divorce papers. I'm hoping that it will work because it will help me solve all of my problems.Did he not hear what I said to him??Following a wait of thirty seconds, I heard him laughing in front of me, which surprised me and caused me to look at his face. I hadn't anticipated seeing Duke Hayes proudly wearing a smug expression.Duke Hayes continued to st
Chapter 10 - WEDDING NIGHT PART 3 - First name bases.Elaine's POVI realized he kissed me on the lips after 30 seconds of having both of our lips together. I was so surprised that I pushed him away and slapped him across the face."How dare you kiss me, jerk!" I yelled angrily at him.Duke just touched the cheeks where I slapped him without showing any pain in his expression. "Don't be too exaggerating Elaine, it's not like I've committed a heinous crime by kissing my own wife's lips," he reasoned."Not if it's by force, then it's a crime, you jerk!" I retorted.He chuckled at what I said, "no, it's not when I'm proving to my dear wife that we're close enough to call each other first names because we're a married couple," he reasoned again."And because we're already married, we need to be affectionate with each other by calling each other's name," he added.What kind of illogical reasoning is that?! I strongly disagree and do not understand how he is thinking in his head."It is not
Chapter 11 - WEDDING NIGHT PART 4 - IN ONE BEDDuke's POVToday, I could tell this woman despised being married to me. I understand her sentiment and simply enjoy teasing her with every idea that comes to mind.She glared at me when she finally surrendered and believed that she can't escape sleeping Together with me in one bed."Even though we're sleeping on the same bed, NO TOUCHING!" she warned, emphasizing the word to me more. Immediately turned her back at me to walk towards the bed.To tease her, I raised an eyebrow and pretended to give her body a boring look. "Elaine, how could you have such a low opinion of me, I don't force any woman to sleep with me, and you are not my type to be honest," I replied back, but I was only lying.Well, her body is my type, and I'm doing my best not to touch her insanely because I don't want her to be scared of me. I couldn't help but be cold and tease her.Immediately, her face turns red with rage, and she looks at me again, her vivid cerulean
