SCARLETT'S POV
____________________________________________________________________
"I invited them here." A voice called out from behind.
I turned to look at who spoke. It was Maria.
Why would she call them?
"But Badima...." Xander was going to speak but Maria cut her in between.
"Xander, they are professional photographers that I've hired. I want to your photos to be absolutely perfect. You both look so cute together. I want your babies to adore you when they look back at your wedding pictures." She said grinning widely. Her eyes shone so much happiness.
SCARLETT'S POV ____________________________________________________________________ "By the way, I never saw you guys kissing. You can kiss you know, I don't mind. Neither your dad does. Also, Maria doesn't mind too, I'm sure. You kids should show affection, don't be shy because of us."And with a wink, she left me again in an awkward situation. Okay great! Mom sure knows how to make a situation awkward for me and even make the already awkward situation more awkward. Does that even make sense? I could imagine how my cheeks must have heated up on her words.
SCARLETT'S POV _______________________________________________________________________________________ "Missed me , Xandy?" She said looking at him, batting her eyeslashes. Just who the hell she thinks she is.Talking to my man like that? Wait....where did the "my man" come from? God!! I'm going crazy. Xander's jaw clenched on her words.He looked towards me but I immediately turned my head. I didn't want him to see how much upset I was by this. I gazed towards my parents to see them looking confused.Even Maria looked confused. But Shelly on the other hand was smiling.John was lost, I don't know where. It's like he wasn't even interested in whatever was happening around him.I conclude he was bored maybe. "Oh, you kids." Shelly went to them chuckling as if a freaking comedy show was going on. Maria on sensing the situation came
SCARLETT'S POV _______________________________________________________________________________________ There were only roses, petals of roses in the tray. And due to fall, they all scattered around. I was confused. There aren't any rings there laying around. Were...were there not any rings? What? What's happening? "No rings!" Molly exclaimed.She looked pleasantly happy at this. "Ohh, no rings means no engagement, right?" She didn't even try to hide the fact how pleasant she is right now. I wanted to punch her face. "No,Molly. What are you saying?" Shelly also fake gasped. These stupid mom- daughter! Ughhhh!! My chest was rising up and down in anger. I took a deep breath to calm myself down. Xander on sensing my condition, squeezed my hand softly as if to assure me nothing is going to happen.
THIRD PERSON'S POV_______________________________________________________________________________________Xander came out of his room and went to his study.He was mad. Mad at himself.He knows he has a lot of enemies but who could be the person who would try to hurt his Triantáfyllo.No one even knew of his marriage.Who could possibly be behind this?He rubbed his forehead with his fingers. He was tensed.He doesn't want anything to happen to Scarlett, anything bad to happen to both of them.He went to make a drink for himself.The others had already went to their room.A knock on his door disturbed him and his thoughts.With a frustrated breath, he went to open the door of his study."What the fuck do you want?"He was already so tensed and now her.It was Molly.Xander didn't want her around him at all.Rubbi
THIRD PERSON'S POV_______________________________________________________________________________________Xander didn't want Scarlett to get involved with Lucas. That Lucas Rodriguez.But he didn't do anything except clenching his jaw. His fists were clenched too.Scarlett sensed his mood so she immediately hung up saying "bye" to Lucas.Though she still wondered who saved his number in her phone.Xander on the other hand felt pleasant when she hung up the phone.Though he immediately left his room without even wishing her good night.He planned to stay in his study for the night.It is better if he stays away from her. He shouldn't get too close to her.He shouldn't get too attached to her.He realised she was affecting him. She was affecting his emotions, his mood, his everything.So he decided he'll maintain his distance from her. He doesn't need
SCARLETT'S POV____________________________________________________________________Finally!!Today's the day to end all my overthinking about this marriage.It's just so amazing, right? Knowing now you absolutely have no choice but to do that thing. ( Sarcasm, so much sarcasm)Also, why this stupid gown has to look so beautiful anyway? This is soooo pretty.And these stylists also did my hair amazing. My makeup is still natural.I am liking my look though but not the reason behind it.
THIRD PERSON'S POV_______________________________________________________________________________________Xander knew what he did and said was wrong.But he didn't want to get attached to her.He didn't know what he was doing all these past days.He got carried away by feelings and thought, maybe, just maybe, he could also have happiness, he could have a lover, a wife who'll love him, who'll be there for him.But that incident on the day of his engagement felt like a tight slap on his face for even thinking he could ever have love or be loved by someone.Also, he has already lived on his own without needing anyone for so long. He can continue to do so now too.There's no need for someone to enter and mess up his life.And that someone is a certain raven haired beauty he just hurt with his words.He has always masked his emotions. He can do them now too. He was a maste
SCARLETT'S POV____________________________________________________________________"WHAT?" My eyes widened.I gulped nervously before quickly looking away from him."We have to consummate our marriage, sweetheart." He smirked at me with his hand tangled in my hair.I didn't even realize when he got my hair tie out and my black waves fell down till my waist.But suddenly I remembered that red stain on his earlier crisp white shirt and my blood boiled in anger."I don't want to do anything with you."I snapped with my lips pursed in anger."You shameless creature.
