I went back to my bedroom and heard water crashing in the bathroom next door. It was Bradyn taking a shower.
I put the two agreements on the nightstand.
I had already signed it, and the assistant told me to bring it to Bradyn and sign it.
Then, each of us would keep a copy, making our marriage officially contractual.
At this point, my heart was racing a little, and I didn't know if it was because I was anxious to see how Bradyn would react to me signing without hesitation or if it was because he was on the other side of that frosted glass door, presumably undressed.
How can I put it? It's a very vivid image.
All I knew was that he dresses very well, but before today, I had never really imagined him naked.
I blushed and wanted to do something to take my mind off it.
My phone had been off all day, and when I finally turned it on, a barrage of notifications flooded in, as if my phone had caught a virus.
[Fiona, where the hell have you been?]
[What's going on with that marriage certificate? When are you going to give us a decent explanation?]
[If you don't come back, NEVER. We'll consider you dead out there forever.]
These messages, they're all from my parents and my brother Gilford.
In their eyes, the insult I suffered at the wedding wasn't as significant as the fact that I had vanished without explanation and married a stranger, which meant I had escaped their arrangements and control.
I deleted the messages and logged into my social media account.
I thought it would be the same kind of hurtful comments under my latest marriage certificate post.
Something like: She stole her sister's boyfriend..
she's a bitch.. whore. Blablabla.
But what surprised me was that there was not a single negative comment in my clean comment section.
[Good for you girl! That's how you get rid of cheating assholes!]
[Damon is such a jerk, coward. If he really likes Katherine, he can say it early, why on that poor girl's wedding day!! Fortunately Fiona is sober. ]
[The new husband looks so much nicer in the photo. I even think he looks a bit like the Elf King from the Lord of the Rings! Handsome and noble.]
Well... this is different from what I thought.
With Katherine's conniving schemes and Damon's aggressive nature, how could they let this happen?
They always managed to evade blame, no matter how disgusting their actions were; it always fell on me.
I exited the F******k and googled my wedding.
But even more incredible to me was that any information related to my wedding with Damon had been completely unsearchable.
It was as if overnight, countless media outlets had been silenced, and the
only topic of discussion was my new marriage.
Some people started speculating about the identity of my new husband based on a single marriage certificate I posted on F******k.
Some said Capel was descended from the French royal family, while others said Bradyn resembled the eldest son of a foreign minister.
However, compared to my speculation today that he is the "son of the President," their guesses were not that ridiculous, I must say.
The shower stopped ringing and Bradyn came out.
He was bare-chested, dripping with water and wearing only a bath towel around his waist.
I put down my phone and subconsciously popped out of bed and sat up.
He looked at me and then at the two agreements on the nightstand.
"There's no requirement to get up and greet your husband when you see him."
My face flushed involuntarily.
"I... No, I just thought you needed me to get your pajamas."
"Not for now."
Bradyn said thoughtfully.
I was not sure what "for now" meant.
Doesn't he need to get dressed after a shower?
Before I had time to think twice, Bradyn's strong chest was pressed toward me.
His lips on mine. It was not a peck, but a kiss kiss.
I was startled by this sudden attack, and struggled to escape, but was firmly held by his strong arm.
"I thought you'd read every clause before you signed it."
Bradyn's lips pressed against my earlobe.
I immediately understood what he meant. According to the marriage contract between us, I needed to fulfill the obligations of a wife, which included not refusing her husband's request for sex.
So now he's gonna have sex with me?
"We can have no wedding, but we can't have no wedding night."
Bradyn wrapped her arms around me and kissed me on the lips again.
The hot, intense kiss made me tremble all over. My mind could hardly think of anything else.
He was a good kisser, indeed.
The tip of his tongue is smooth and warm, prying open my tense teeth, and I couldn't catch my breathing and even forget to close my eyes.
Damon's the only person I'd ever been with before.
Intimacy with him ended with a kiss, but never an exaggerated heartbeat like this.
Bradyn's enthusiasm also infected me, so that I could not help but love this mysterious and pleasant things, had the ultimate yearning.
He warmed me to oblivion, soft, and laid me on the big bed.
That soft touch put my spirit and body firmly into it, I could not struggle out of comfort, and out of Bradyn's deep love.
He knelt on the bed and edged closer to me.
I looked up to see his Adam's apple fluttering up and down.
Suddenly, he pulled off the bath towel wrapped around his waist, revealing his already hard cock.
It's the first time I'd been in front of an adult male body.
Majestic and masculine, like the god of war in a medieval fresco.
He leaned down and kissed me again.
I tried to respond, feeling his big rough hands on my shoulders and neck.
He pulled down my dress straps and touched every inch of my body.
Under the stimulation of that flirtatious caress, I actually made a moaning that I never thought I would.
I curled my knees, struggling to grip his tight, narrow waist.
"You look a little impatient?"
He ended the long kiss, lifted his arm halfway, and bent down again.
This time, he started kissing me except on the lips.
My eyes, my eyebrows, and finally my ears.
God knows why my ears are so sensitive!
When the tip of his tongue touched the first inch of skin on my ear, my body tensed.
His tongue. It gave me a heat that rolled through my veins, sent electric jolts along my nerves.
I tensed my body, nails tightly in his shoulder and back!
"Bradyn..."
I called out his name and heard him murmured in my ear.
"Fiona, spread your legs a little wider and relax yourself."
He held my waist tightly with one hand and his penis with the other, grinding it repeatedly between my legs.
I opened my mist-shrouded eyes and instantly reflected Bradyn's lake-blue eyes, sincere and trusting.
It's like they're expecting the same from me.
But in fact, I only showed the same butterflies and nerves as most women because I had sex for the first time.
I was worried that I wasn't acting well enough for him to see that I was equally sincere.
I also worried about whether my first sexual experience would affect my sexual attitude from now on.
I'd heard a lot of girls talked about it together, including my best friend Cynthia.
They said that most girls didn't have a particularly good first sex because they were not happy with the first time men.
What about me?
Can I have a good first time?
When Bradyn finally got into me, I didn't have the energy to think about that damn mess anymore.
At first there was a tearing pain, but soon it was accompanied by a rhythmic pleasure that rippled from the deepest depths of my body.Although I was a little shy, but a distinct pleasure built in my body, gradually getting me excited.No wonder so many people said that sex was a beautiful experience that always comes from rare vulgarity.Both men and women were aware of this, but couldn't help falling into this lewd world.As the rhythm began to go faster, Bradyn lifted me from the soft bed.If he was restrained at first, the moment my breasts bouncing in front of his eyes, I clearly felt his thing inside me grew even harder.Full and smooth, all the pain disappeared in an instant, replaced by a rush of joy that would resonate with the soul.I could not help but let out a kind of wailing cry, and my body could not help but lean forward.He quickly reached out his hands to support my hips, keeping my waist in place so that his increasingly large and bulky cock could keep moving in the
The sheet on the other side of the bed was cold, as if no one had slept.I didn't know if Bradyn slept next to me last night.Maybe after he's done what husbands were supposed to do, he's in a separate room with me?I moved my limp legs and took the letter of agreement on the nightstand.He had already taken one of them, signed the other, and left it for me, using his own stamp.The lion with the sword, his family seal.He signed it. Our contract was sealed.So, two years from now, I would leave Bradyn and started a new life of freedom for myself.There was an indescribable feeling in my heart. Was I happy to look forward to it?No, I don't think so. I turned on my phone and checked my messages.[Fiona, where are you? Are you okay? Can I see you?]It was Rachel, my best friend and the maid of honor at my wedding.I quickly called her and heard her excited voice."Fiona, are you okay? I mean, what's been going on with you these last few days, with all the over-the-top news and stuff o
"My Fiona, I can't express how relieved I am to see you. You have no idea how worried I was when I couldn't reach you. I was about to call the police."Rachel embraced my arm, her eyes seeming a bit moist. "I had a plan, you know. If the police didn't help, I was ready to take a knife and confront Damon. I swear, I was prepared for the worst."I patted her hand, moved by the profound friendship she had shown me over the years. And I felt guilty for not heeding her advice, the only person who had warned me not to give my heart completely to Damon."Thank goodness you didn't do that."I said, "Taking such extreme and illegal actions because of a heartbreaker like Damon would not have been wise at all. Damon is now a complete stranger to me. Once I sort out the company's matters, I'll have no connection to him whatsoever.""So you haven't returned to the company yet?"Rachel asked.I nodded, "Of course not. I'm still on my leave of absence. As for my husband, it doesn't affect my right t
My slap had thoroughly enraged Damon. Ignoring the public setting, he attempted to use sheer force to coerce me into submission."Fiona, you must come with me today!""You filthy cur, have you gone mad?"Rachel rushed over, joining me in struggling against him.In the process, the three of us accidentally knocked over the coffee cups on the table, drawing the attention of the waiter."Sir! What are you doing? Ladies, do you need assistance?""Get lost!"Damon's eyes were bloodshot, "I'm here to find my girlfriend. Mind your own business!""I don't know him, please call the police."Standing together with Rachel, I tidied my disheveled hair and firmly told the waiter."Okay! Okay!"Seeing my resolute expression, Damon had no choice but to raise his hands in surrender."Fiona, make sure you understand this, I won't just let it go like this!"Leaving a barefaced threat, Damon stormed off in a huff."Fiona, are you okay?"Rachel asked with concern, "I can't believe it, that guy could be s
Fiona's POV:As I drove back home, the sun hadn't yet set.The sprawling estate was bathed in the evening sun's hues, and the lush greenery was adorned with the colors of dusk. My mood, marred by Damon's actions, began to lift once more.Maria asked if I wanted some tea, and I shook my head, declining."I'll head upstairs to rest for a bit and have dinner with Brenda when he returns."I changed and took a shower, then turned off my phone.I didn't want to see any more of Damon's shameless and insulting messages. He had become a joke in my eyes.Slipping into a soft robe, I reclined on the aristocratic chair at the foot of my bed and dozed off for a while.In the rare tranquility of this evening's sunset glow, I was on the verge of falling asleep.At that moment, I heard some commotion downstairs, as if something was being moved.Opening my eyes, I descended the stairs.Brenda was back, standing by the entrance of the living room, directing a few workers in moving a piano."You're back
I slept soundly throughout the night.When I woke up, feeling refreshed, I pushed open the window and gazed upon the thriving flora outside. My mood brightened along with the scene before me.I realized I was beginning to yearn for this kind of life—waking up without pressure, not worrying about becoming better to avoid disappointing looks and mocking words from my family. I didn't need to concern myself with trying harder to become the wife Damon would be proud of.But, ironically, it was in this calm that I recognized a severe reality—Avoidance wouldn't solve problems. I couldn't hide here forever, not going out, not working, not socializing.I couldn't avoid seeing my parents and the other members of the Green family forever.So, it was better to speak to them face-to-face and clear things up.I wanted to tell them I wouldn't be with Damon anymore, regardless of whether he preferred Catherine or Lysarine.I woul
"Are you playing some kind of hellish joke?!"I was furious and flipped the tea table."That old bastard who reeks of infamy is already in his sixties. His son is older than me! And you want me to marry him?""Otherwise? Do you want to marry his son instead?"Marion mocked me, her eyes sneering. "My Fiona, you're quite the confident young lady. Based on your experience of stealing Catherine's love and marrying that lowly commoner, do you think you're qualified to marry the young and promising von Geller?""Your mother is right. Despite Old Geller's age, his family holds a hereditary noble title and significant wealth. His wife passed away a few years ago, so he's in need of a young bride. You should know, marrying Old Geller would make you a legitimate Baroness."I retorted angrily, "Don't you know that Old Geller's original wife was tortured to death by him?"They exchanged glances, seemingly surprised that I had already heard about
I looked at the hypocritical man before me.Thinking back to that day when we met at the café, he had earnestly professed his love for me? He had said he wanted me to come back to him, to protect and cherish me forever.But now?The moment he saw Catherine's pitiful appearance, his soul seemed to have been ensnared by the devil.I felt like my eyes couldn't bear to witness this filthy scene any longer. I couldn't fathom whether my years of devotion to him had been corroded by the venom of a toad!I didn't want to engage with them any longer; I turned to leave."Stop right there!"Damon grabbed my wrist. "Where are you going? You have to apologize to Catherine, right now!""I'm sorry, Catherine. When I slapped you just now, I should have checked if your knight in shining armor was conveniently behind you. My apologies for reducing him to a spineless, rabid dog."My sharp retort left Damon stunned, taking him severa
