Chapter. 3

We sat in the car and He started the engine, Denver was an amazing place, the place where I grew up but now I am going away from this city. Wait but which city am I actually going to?

“Where do you live?” I broke the silence in the car and he looked at me.

“Chicago” he spoke. "What who travels this much by road?” I asked in disbelief and what he answered was more stunning.

“Alan Martin” woah what an answer. “It will take a lot of time.” he hummed in response.

“How long will it take?” I asked again, I mean he should talk a little. He isn't even playing music, too boring.

“About 15 hours” he answered like it was no big deal. “What the-” I nearly shouted. I mean 15 hours in the car? My back will break dude.

…………

“Aren't you hungry?” Finally he spoke, finally.

“not really” I replied, this dress is not a right choice for a 15 hour long journey.

He parked his park in front of a hotel and I looked at him. “Why are you wasting time?” he stayed silent, why can't he just answer me back.

Alan stepped out of the car and walked towards my side, he opened the door for me and I looked at him.

I stepped out of the car and was about to fall because of my dress but he held my arms.

We walked inside and he walked towards the reception. After talking with the receptionist he came back to me.

“She will take you to the room, I will go grab something from the car.” He spoke and I nodded.

The staff guided me towards the elevator and I followed her.

“Congratulations ma’am” she said and I frowned, oh she said that because of this wedding dress.

“You're very lucky to have Mr. Martin.” She spoke making me confused.

“What's that special about him?” Curiosity took over me and the staff looked at me.

“Mr. Martin is a very famous businessman, he also holds partnership in this hotel.” The staff explained and I nodded. So he that rich type of guy.

I entered the room, it was luxurious. I immediately took off my heels and sat on the couch.

And the door clicked revealing Alan, he walked inside and handed me a dress, that's mine.

“You should change, it's uncomfortable” he spoke before taking out his phone and dialing a number.

I took the dress and walked inside the bathroom to change my dress.

{Alan's pov}

I was waiting for her to come out so we could order something, it's already night. I am thinking of doing the rest of the travel tomorrow.

It's been 30 minutes, what is she doing? I can't even here the voice of shower.

I knocked on the door of the bathroom just to hear a “yes” from her side.

“What's taking so long?” I asked and she opened the door a bit.

“I can't open it.” She said and I looked at her.

“Can you help?” She asked and I nodded in response.

She opened the door and turned around showing her back to me.

{Hazel's POV}

I felt him removing my hairs from the back and sliding them on my shoulders.

I felt his cold hand touching my name as he tried to open the zip.

He slowly slid the zip down as his fingers traced my back Along with the zip sending shivers down my spine.

He immediately stepped back and I closed the door, I immediately changed into the dress he brought from the car and I stepped outside.

“Shall we order dinner?” He asked and I nodded.

He ordered a few things after asking my preferences and Then got busy in his phone.

“How many members are there in your family?” I asked just to initiate a conversation, things are already very awkward. I don't want to make them more Awkward.

“My mother and sister,” he answered And I nodded.

“What will be their reaction to this marriage?” I questioned and he just went silent. Why? Are they going to hate me?

“They will like you, I hope.” He stated and I nodded in response.

“We should sleep, it's late.” I said and he nodded.

“I will sleep on the couch, you can take the bed.” He declared making me frown.

“Why? I mean this bed is big enough for 2 people.” I blurted and He just stared at me.

“What if you're uncomfortable?” He questioned and I looked at him, I mean no matter how we got married he is still my husband.

“I am-” before I could complete her took a pillow from the bed and settled on the couch.

Without saying anything I walked towards the bed and slept on it.

…………

After freshening up and Having Breakfast we started the journey again. The ride was silent as usual and I was just looking out of the window, it's uncomfortable sitting in the same situation.

I took off my sandals and placed my legs on the seat. He glanced at me, what's wrong?

“Why? I shouldn't sit like that?” I asked and he shook his head as in no.

“Although I love my baby, it's fine, you can sit like that.” Oh so he can form sentences not bad.

………..

After a very long journey the Car stopped in front of a huge mansion, the Gate opened and he drove further.

He stopped in front of the main door and stepped out of the car, he came towards me and opened the door for me - Gentleman. I stood beside him.

“You're back.” I heard the excited voice of a Girl who came running but stopped on her tracks after looking at me.

“Who's she?” She asked.

“Ana, She is my wife.” He declared and Ana frowned.

“Stop kidding, how can she be your wife?” She laughed and he breathed heavily before speaking.

“Ana, go and call mom.” He ordered and she nodded walking back inside.

“Don't mind my sister, she is Kinda immature.” He explained, so she was his sister. I nodded and we walked inside, I was more nervous than I was walking on the aisle.

We stood in the living room and there was a lady dressed up all elegant, I assume she is his mother.

“Mom, She is Hazel.” He spoke and his mother looked at me like she was checking me out.

“So? Why is she here?” she questioned and I looked at him.

“Because she is Mrs. Alan Martin mom.” He declared and his mother passed a glare to me.

“Divorce her.” His mother ordered.

“Mom, this is my life and I am a grown adult who can decide my life choices, and no one will tell me what to do. Hazel is a great girl. You two will go along well I believe.” He explained and his mother just rolled her eyes.

“How can you marry her, you were supposed to marry Aria.” Ana complained.

“Ana behave, she is your Sister in law from now on and secondly Aria’s chapter should be closed in this house.” He warned her and held my hand, dragging me upstairs with him.

He opened the door for me and I walked inside,

“Hazel, don't mind my mom. It's just she is shocked, she will calm down, don't worry.” He assured me and I nodded in response.

“You should rest, I will go talk to mom.” He informed me and I nodded In response.
