CHAPTER 10_ The Bloody Bride 1~Arya~I was this close to walking back to their table and flipping it all over but I’m afraid that’s not the kind of wave Karl asked me to cause here tonight.My eyes fell back on the men who hadn’t taken an inch back away from me. I tapped against the special invitation card once more drawing their attention to it.“And how does an invitation card stop us from carrying out our orders?”I shot the first man a brow as soon as I heard him speak.“I’m Mr Adams special guest. Neither you nor the fucking birthday boy can throw me out.” I proudly declared taking a sip out of my glass. “And if you think that I’m bluffing, you can go ahead and be the first one to try and send me out.” I noticed the hesitation in their eyes or maybe what we call fear. I trailed their line of sight back to the Anders table. “You two, grab her.”My brows furrowed. Almost immediately, the two men approached me and pulled me up from my sitting position at the order of the head o

~Arya~“The first thing you need to know is that you owe no one any explanation, Arya.”I watched Karl pace slowly before me as he spoke. I couldn’t deny the fact that I needed him to get to Simon and Alicia even though I hate the thought of staying under the same roof with a relative of the person who betrayed me.“Don’t let them see your weak side. You hold as much power and authority as I do in my family and with time, they’ll learn to obey you.”“I don’t want to face them ever again–” “I’m afraid that’s not an option.” Karl interrupted, pausing his movement. There was a gentle flicker in his eyes, that same look that always confuse me about what his true motives were. I inhaled sharply when he began approaching me where I sat on the couch. He stopped before me, pinning his gaze on me and then reaching his hand to grab my chin.“I didn’t marry a weak woman. You’ve been through hell and it’s time for you to rain hell on those who hurt you and the first step is getting rid of any

~Arya~He was the last person I had expected to see given his busy nature. In the last couple of days only his men had visited me and I thought that he was too busy to chase after an ordinary woman like myself. But I guess I was wrong. I saw his eyes flicker as he stared around the room until it fell back on my face then lower to my chest where my name tag was pinned on my black shirt. “Arya—”“What do you want? Don't you have other weak ladies to falsely accuse of murder so you can bail them right out again and be declared as a savior?” I spat out in irritation.I didn't realize I had so much to say in less than three seconds.Karl didn't budge for a while, he just stood there being handsome. He took a long glance at me then chuckled dryly.“Order for table 29”I sighed in relief as I turned around and grabbed the little tray from the cook. He just saved me from whatever awkwardness this was.To my surprise, Karl followed right behind me while I made my journey to the fat man at t

~Arya~The atmosphere was very tense and unbearable. Realizing that I was in the midst of people who did everything in their power to lock me up behind bars for a crime that I didn't even commit, I felt the tears I was holding slip out of my eyes and trickled down my face.I tore my gaze off Karl’s cold stare and made for the door immediately. I’d rather be locked away than stay in their midst for one more second.“Arya, wait!”No! My voice echoed in my head. I couldn't find the strength to yell back at him, all that was running through my mind at that moment was to flee from my enemy's territory. I knew someone like Karl Adams was too good to be true for me. I've long ran out of luck and it took me a while to realize this.I just made a fool of myself in front of them.I gasped out loud when a grip caught on my arm. Whoever it was turned me around fully with just a slight pull. My eyes were clouded with tears but I could see the man whose intentions still remained a mystery to me.

At night, I was busy pacing around the room waiting for my husband to show up. He already made it clear that he was looking forward to our wedding night at the registry. I took a long bath and also took my time to shave my pubic hairs, i had to look fresh and clean for my husband. I was dressed in a sexy red nightgown, all that was missing was a man to rip it off my body. An hour passed by and yet no sign of him yet, I left him two hours ago downstairs as he was drinking to himself. After a few more minutes, the door finally opened. I sprang up to my feet, my heart racing as I heard his footsteps walking in. He took a long glance at me before turning his back against me. “What are you doing still up? Go, get some sleep..”His words took me by surprise, embarrassment washed over my face. What must he be thinking about me now? He was the one who got me anxious for no reason at all. “Arya..” He called softly, taking me out of my trance. I turned to him. “Go to bed, it's late alread

~Arya~It's been months since I had a deep and relaxing bath like this one. I completely submerged myself into the bathtub, every tense nerve in my body relaxed as the warm water soaked my skin. “Ahh, that's more like it..”Back at the prison, there wasn't a choice for a warm bath, the water was always freezing cold and you get barely enough time to wash up properly. In the bathtub, I kept on thinking about Karl's offer, it wasn't a really bad deal but i still couldn't help but wonder why he wanted to marry me, I wasn't anything special. I'm very certain that a lot of rich heiress were desperately trying to get his attention. He could easily marry one of them but he chose me. This wasn't a tough decision to make. Who doesn't want to be a billionaire's wife? After my long bath, I wore a robe and returned to my bedroom where I had kept my phone, I was very sure that he must be waiting for a response. I hesitated before I dialed his number. My heart thumped wildly as i stared at the
