Chapter 2: The Day We Met Again

1 year ago

A document is thrown on Diana's thigh by Alpha Darren. Alpha Darren also removed the wedding veil Diana was wearing.

Diana had been in the bridal room, waiting to go to the altar, but it didn't seem to be going like a normal wedding.

“Sign the document,” Alpha Darren ordered. He had both hands in his pants pockets and his eyes were very sharp, waiting for Diana to do as he ordered.

But Diana didn't take the document, she just looked at it, making Alpha Darren sigh. “That is our marriage contract. I will read it to you,” Alpha Darren said coldly. He picked up the document again.

“The first party in the name of Darren Kyne Jarl and the second party in the name of Diana Genevieve, agreed to commit a lifetime contract marriage. The second party replaces her sister in the name of Annabelle Genevieve who ran away, and as collateral for the crimes committed by her father, Frank Genevieve. The contents of the contract are first, no divorce no matter what the reason. Second, the identity of the second party will be hidden in order not to be a threat to the first party. Third, if the second party insists on divorce, it will be required to pay a penalty of 10 million dollars.” Alpha Darren took out a pen and gently pulled Diana's hand to hand it over with the marriage contract document.

Diana gave a desperate look, she didn't even have the chance to refuse because she was the only one who could save her mother and her father's family. Diana was just their puppet who lived to remain silent following their orders.

If it wasn't for her little brother who needed her, Diana would probably run away too, disobeying her mother who forced her to marry Alpha Darren.

Diana gripped the pen tightly and signed the contract without checking again. Her life had now passed into the hands of Alpha Darren, a famously cruel and cold Alpha.

Diana handed over the document. *"What else do I need to do now?” She was really fed up, she didn't want to rebel because it was useless, so she would follow their game.

Alpha Darren lowered his head, aligning his face with Diana's, making Diana close her eyes.

Instead of kissing Diana, Alpha Darren whispered something that made Diana even angrier. “With you signing that contract, it means we're already married. There's no need to appear in public or go to the altar, and you can take it all off here.”

Diana clutched her wedding dress. Alpha Darren's words made Diana feel humiliated. But Diana still did what Alpha Darren said. She began to take off the accessories attached to her body.

When Diana was about to take off her wedding dress, that's when Alpha Darren stopped Diana's hand. “You want to get out of this place naked?”

Diana gave him a sharp look. *“You told me to take everything off,” she replied irritably.

Alpha Darren sighed. He took out their wedding rings and put them on Diana's finger. “Don't ever take that ring off. People can know you're married, but they can't know you're married to me.”

Diana looked at the ring that now adorned her finger. *"Then what else? Hurry up and tell me everything now.”

Diana tried desperately not to shed her tears even though it made her eyes red.

“We will live together from today, in the same house but in separate rooms,” Alpha Darren said. Then he put an anklet on Diana's leg. “It will make a noise every time you walk, that way I'll know you're home. Don't take it off.”

Should Diana be grateful that at least she could still save her body? But it seemed like Diana's assumption was wrong because just after saying that, Alpha Darren immediately kissed her.

Diana tried to push him away, but Alpha Darren wrapped his arms around Diana's waist, pulling her close.

This kiss was the first kiss Diana had ever had in her entire life. And she never expected to have her first kiss with someone she hated. Someone who should be married to her sister, not to her.

Diana was out of breath because the kiss lasted so long. That's when Alpha Darren stopped. He wiped Diana's messy lipstick with his thumb.

*“Why are you kissing me? We're just doing a contract marriage, there's no love,” Diana said, protesting.

Alpha Darren stopped his thumbs from brushing Diana's lips. “Even though it's a contract marriage, we have to make it look like it's real.”

Diana really didn't understand what Alpha Darren was saying. She had no idea to whom they should show this marriage as real.

But suddenly Alpha Darren took out his phone. He wrapped his arms around Diana tightly, opened the camera, and took a picture of them. “Only your parents know that this is a contract marriage, while my parents don't know. They thought you were the real bride. So this photo is needed as proof that we are the real bride and groom.”

As it turned out this was the reason, Diana finally understood. She didn't need to misunderstand that Alpha Darren was horny to see her.

“I'm not interested in your body anyway,” Alpha Darren said. He looked Diana up and down.

Diana laughed sadly in her heart. It was only the first day of the wedding but she didn't know how many words Alpha Darren had said that hurt her heart.

Diana didn't expect much, she just hoped to survive every day facing Alpha Darren. She didn't expect him to love her or be good to her, because it was impossible.

Diana rubbed the lipstick on her lips roughly. *"I'm not interested in you either. I don't want to be touched by a man who plays with many women.”

As a result of those words, Diana was cornered again by Alpha Darren. Diana was confined by Alpha Darren's burly arms. “I've never played with women,” Alpha Darren said, denying Diana's accusations.

But Diana didn't believe it. She couldn't believe an Alpha like Alpha Darren had never had fun with a single woman. Diana didn't believe Alpha Darren could hold out that long.

*“Prove it if it's true,” Diana challenged.

And that's when Diana regrets her own decision because Alpha Darren finally bites her neck, marking her as his mate.

Diana felt excruciating pain from the marking. Meanwhile, Alpha Darren felt intoxicated by the scent of Diana's body which smelled so sweet and intoxicating.

Alpha Darren could not restrain himself. He kissed Diana again, deeper and more intensely.

Diana pushed Alpha Darren away but then her body felt very weak from being marked by Alpha Darren. So she finally ended up unconscious.

Alpha Darren stopped kissing Diana and hugged her very tightly. His gaze softened and looked very worried. “I'm sorry, I have to do this to free you from your mother's grip. You don't have to obey her that much. Just think about yourself for once.” He gently stroked Diana's hair and carried her away from this place, taking Diana to their new home.
