Flash Marriage

Elara gave up everything for love...her trust, her inheritance, her future. But the two people she trusted most, her husband and her best friend, destroyed it all with a betrayal so cruel it left her shattered. Just when she thought she had nothing left, a stranger emerged from the shadows. Only Axel was no stranger at all. He was her Ex-husband's Nemesis. Cold-blooded, ruthless, and dangerously obsessed with her. With one careless signature on a contract, Elara becomes bound to Axel, a man whose name inspires fear, whose touch ignites her, and whose secrets threaten to unravel her very reality. He carries scars that hide darker truths and a hunger for her that blurs the line between protection and possession. Soon, she realizes the betrayal was only the beginning. The truth waiting in the shadows is far more dangerous than she ever imagined. In a world where trust is a weapon, Elara must decide: with Axel by her side, will she surrender to his dark side and become the villain in her own story or will she rise from the ashes and burn her enemies to the ground?

Chapter 1 It's been a year
***** Elara's POV ***** “Elara what the f**k are you doing here!?” Dorian yelled, his voice echoing in the room like thunder. I tried to say something, I tried to protest, but the words wouldn’t come out. My lips trembled as I fought back the overwhelming feeling twisting in my stomach. My gaze moved from Dorian to Alexis, taking in the sight of his erection buried deep inside her as she lay on his office table, her shirt unbuttoned and her skirt pushed up to her waist, while Dorian’s pants hung loosely around his knees. Just when I thought our marriage was finally getting better… now this? “You’re having an affair with my best friend?” My voice broke, painful tears blurring my vision. “I was going to tell you, but not yet,” he said, zipping up his pants as Alexis got down from his office table. He was going to tell me???? I realized then and there that I had already lost a game I didn’t even know I was playing. “How long have you both been doing this?” I finally summed

Chapter 2 Shadow's secret
Nothing else mattered, not Alexis, not the divorce, he came back for me and that's the only thing that's important right now. I gulped, staring at his dominating stance, feeling an unexpected surge of excitement that he was here with me. He brushed his hair back with his fingers as he threw his head backwards The room was almost completely dark, so I couldn't see his face clearly, but I could still make out his insane God-like features. He looked a lot hotter than usual right now and it aroused my need even more. He took off his shirt and threw it across the room, and undid his belt, pulling his pants low enough to reveal his rock hard erection. My eyes widened and I quickly covered my face with my hand, but left a small gap between my fingers, enough for me to see him. My heart started beating faster as I watched the slow movement of his hand slowly stroking his length, and a low groan escaped his throat. Heat flooded my body so fast it almost made me dizzy. My mouth actuall

Chapter 3 You orchestrated this, didn't you?
I squeezed my eyes shut and opened it again, hoping they were playing tricks on me, but sadly, they weren't. Who is this man??? The cold air from the air-conditioning hit my body and I immediately realised I was naked, I gasped and dragged the duvet to cover myself. “Sh*t! Sh*t! Sh*t!” Flashbacks from last night replayed in my head, as I stumbled back, I should be disappointed with myself, worried I just had s*x with a stranger, but the flashbacks made my body react in a different way. “Fuck!” I cursed. And here I was thinking Dorian came back for me. So delusional. I have to leave, and I have to leave now, before this gets more complicated than it already is. I put on my clothes which had been carefully folded on the bedside table and tiptoed towards the door, my purse and heels in one hand as I twisted the door knob with the other….but it didn't budge. I tried again and again, but the door was locked shut. “I figured you would do that…..” a deep baritone voice sent vibrati

Chapter 4 We need to talk
One minute I was being discarded by my husband, and the next, I was married to his brother…on my way to what he called our new home.I kept my eyes fixed on the window as the car pulled into the house, the heavy gates parting to reveal what lay beyond. A massive black stone fortress rose before me, towering into the sky. Its sharp edges softened by sleek, intricate designs, it looked like one of those ultra-modern mansions you only saw in glossy magazines. One glance was enough to know it cost a fortune.The car came to a halt and a suited man, built like he was bouncer walked towards the car and opened the door for me.Fancy.“The boss asked me to take you to your room….come with me,” he said, as he led me into the house, and then to my room.“The butler will come and get you in few hours,” the man said as he turned to leave.The walls in the room were brown, the worst colour possible. A soft scent of vanilla filled the air l, and my shoulders dropped as I inhaled deeply, savouring

Chapter 5 Little Kitten
I didn't want to believe it at first, that my parents were alive, that Axel had something to do with it, but with the evidence Cyrus showed me, there was no denying the fact. For the past three years, I've been in and out of therapy, struggling to accept the fact that I was an orphan, mourning my parents who were in fact alive. Just because some inconsiderate evil monster who saw humans as pawns decided to abduct my parents, and fake their deaths for selfish reasons. “Elara you have to play it cool, confronting him is out of the question,” Cyrus insisted. “Yeah I know that, if he could make my parents disappear from prison, there's no predicting what he can do now that he's out.” I got up from the bed and folded my hands, pacing back and forth. “We need to get enough information and more solid evidence and bring it before the FBA, we might not be strong enough to take him ourselves but the American government can help us do that.” Cyrus was right, going against him oursel

Chapter 6 I didn't see anything
I tried to suppress the memory from last night as I sat with Axel in the back of his car.The butler had asked me to get dressed, I was to accompany Axel somewhere and now we were in his car, on our way to God knows where.With the nervous tension from our encounter last night still clinging to me, I couldn’t find the courage to say even a single word to him.“I didn't see anything,” he spoke, breaking the awkward silence. “What?”“Last night, I didn't see anything when your robe fell,” he said, turning to look at me.I quickly tore my gaze from his and fixed my eyes on the road as I gulped, letting out a sigh of relief.Thank God!The car pulled up to a towering skyscraper that seemed to touch the sky, its glass exterior glowing under the sunlight like a jewel.The moment we stepped inside, I couldn't help but gawk at what I was looking at, the interior was even more stunning. Delicate, intricate floral designs wove seamlessly into an ultra-modern aesthetic, a perfect balance of el

Chapter 7 Elyste & Co.
I got back to the spa just as Cyrus was walking in and We went straight to the massage room together before heading into the sauna.The temperature in the sauna was a bit higher than normal, but not too hot.“How's it going with you and Axel?” Cyrus questioned.Axel.I couldn't help but smile at the thought of him, how he just bought a million dollar company in my name.“He's okay,” I said in a low tone. “Do you think maybe he's not all bad?” I asked him.“Elara.”“I mean, maybe we're missing something and he's not the kind of person we think he is.” “Did something happen? Did he say something to you?” Cyrus placed his hands on my shoulders and turned me to look at him.“It's just….” I hesitated for a second then continued, “he's been nice to me, and…and I don't know…..maybe we're just misunderstanding him,” I lifted my gaze to meet Cyrus eyes.“Elara, I don't know what he's done or what he's said to you, but trust me, it's all part of his games. I mean, we're talking about the same

Chapter 8 Watch your step
“You had to see the look on his face, like he had seen a ghost,” I screamed, laughing in excitement as I climbed the stairs to my room, my heels in one hand as Axel followed behind me.“Did you see him? did you see the horror written all over his face the moment he spotted you?” I turned to Axel, smiling ear to ear. My expression, a direct opposite of the one on his face.“Watch your step,” he said, completely ignoring my question.I rolled my eyes and took a step when….“Whoaaaaaa,” I screamed as I missed my foot and immediately lost my balance. I squeezed my eyes shut, bracing for the excruciating pain I would feel the moment my back hit the ground. But to my surprise….nothing came.I gently opened my eyes and I gasped, his familiar gray eyes staring down at me with his hands firm against my back, steadying me in place.He'd caught me.He tilted his head slowly, gaze unwavering as he spoke. “I told you to watch your step.” Why do I always end up in the most awkward positions with

Chapter 9 Good to see you too
Axel is unbelievable!I can't believe he sent me that massive bouquet just so he could outdo Cyrus.“Axel Thorne, you are something,” I giggled. He wasn't home, so I took out my phone to send him a thank you text when Cyrus' message popped up on my screen.It was an attachment, a picture of Axel's mugshot. And a written statement stating the reason for his imprisonment, Axel's signature at the bottom.I knew whatever crime Axel committed that made him go to prison for such a long time and even had him banned from coming back to the United States was an unspeakable and heinous crime.But I never expected it to be this bad.My eyes traced the outline of the words on the scream, my heart sinking with every word I read.Axel had been imprisoned for murder.He had been imprisoned for the murder of his father.I started taking in deep and shallow breaths as I tried to calm my nerves.I was living with and married to a murderer, someone who could kill his father, who's to say he couldn't do

Chapter 10 How did he know?
He turned towards me as I stepped in, he looked like he'd been having a conversation with Knox.“I'm sorry,” my voice barely above a whisper.He didn't react, his expression unreadable.“I…I…I wasn't thinking,” I said.But his expression didn't change.I took a step forward and he finally spoke.“Get some rest, I'll handle it.” He said it in a blank tone, but for some reason I immediately felt a wave of relief wash over me. Maybe I felt relieved because he didn't get mad at me or because he said he would handle it.But still, I was relieved.“Thank you,” I smiled at him and he just nodded his head.“And please turn off your phone and just take a break from all the social media noise,” Knox said, concern written all over his face.I nodded and made my way to my room.Even when I couldn't see Axel, I could still feel his eyes on me as I ascended the stairs.He could be cold, distant and sometimes indifferent, but there was this warmth that came from him.I couldn't feel it at first, b
