You Can Only Be My Bride

Aliya woke up breathing heavily, she sat up and took some water from her bedside, she checked the time and it was already four A.M. It’s morning already and it was her wedding day.

Why would she be dreaming of Aiden on her wedding day? That wasn't a good thing to start your wedding day with. She sat by her bed as memories of the past filled her head.

" If you don't come back, I will probably get married to another person and.... She was interrupted with a kiss from Aiden.

Don't ever say that to me, you can only be my bride. She had smiled and wrapped her hands around his neck kissing him deeply like her life depended on it" But he never fulfilled his promises, he left.

Aliya got up and did her morning routine. She was going to be a bride today so she had to give it her best. She didn’t want to think of anything, her careless one night stand, the unknown caller, she didn’t want to think of any of that. All that matters was that she was taking this bold step to protect her family and her father’s company as well.

Aliya stood in front of the mirror looking at herself after her makeup had been done, she was no doubt a very beautiful lady but she wasn't really fixated on that. The dress Ryan picked out were very beautiful and she looked really gorgeous.

Congratulations Miss, you are going to become Mrs Andres after today, Linda said interrupting Aliya's thoughts.

Thank you Linda.

The car is ready Miss, we will leave when you are ready.

Let's go, I think I'm pretty much ready.

Linda helped her to the car and they drove to the venue.

Ryan was already waiting at the venue. The wedding was not a grand affair but the overall atmosphere was simple and beautiful. They only invited their families and core members of their company. Everywhere was happy about the alliance.

On their way to the venue, the car suddenly stopped.

What’s wrong? 

I don’t know, I think something happened, Linda said, stepping out of the car.

Their cars were surrounded and their bodyguards were already subdued. Two people dressed in black approached them and one of them seemed to be a woman.

Miss Finch, you have to come with us.

Who are you guys and what do you want from me?

I’m sorry Miss, we’re not in the position to explain that. Tessy smacked her neck at a certain acupuncture point and she lost consciousness. They carried her to their car and the cars sped off to different directions.

Go after them! They have Miss Finch with them! Linda shouted at the bodyguards. Everyone was confused as the cars were all the same and they sped off in different directions, nobody knew the exact car that held Aliya.

The unconscious Aliya lay at the back seat with Gary driving while Tessy sat in the co-driver's seat admiring her nails.

The boss sure is weird, kidnapping a bride on her wedding day.

Who knows, she might be important to the boss.

What can she possibly do? She’s just a pampered little princess.

We only have to follow orders, no questions.

Yea, you’re right. The car drove into a mansion, nestled deep in a secluded area far from the city clamor.

Time has passed and the bride hasn't arrived.

The two families were already worried and people had started whispering.

I hope your daughter hasn't backed out at the last minute? We’re just helping you out, how could she be so irresponsible, Mrs Andres stated.

My daughter is not the type to back out of her decision and she is surely not irresponsible.

You…….

Ryan was slightly irritated by their bantering. Enough mom, maybe they are stuck in traffic or something, I will call Aliya to find out. He excused himself to make the call.

Ryan tried calling Aliya but her phone was off which made him more worried, he called Linda and the call was answered almost immediately.

Linda, I was…… What! Kidnapped? Why didn’t you inform me earlier? Just stay there, I will be there right away.

Ryan informed their families of the recent incident and told them to handle the situation there while he heads to the police. 

The whispers and murmurs of the guests increased as the groom left in a haste but the situation was later controlled by their families.

Aliya woke up in a daze looking around an unfamiliar room as memories of the earlier incident flashed through her mind. She was kidnapped by some unknown people. She looked around the room which was covered in dark colors and wondered who the kidnappers were and what was their purpose.

Aliya’s thoughts were interrupted by Tessy who brought in some food for her.

Who are you and why was I kidnapped? Aliya asked Tessy calmly.

Tessy looked at her calm demeanor, she was really an interesting fellow, she wasn’t afraid or panicking like someone who had just been kidnapped. I’m afraid, I can’t answer that Miss, the boys will be with you shortly and you can get your answers, Tessy answered and left the room.

Aliya was frustrated, today was her wedding, the alliance she has been working so hard for. What could be going on out there? Her family and Ryan must be worried sick. She needed to get out of here.

Aliya got up from the bed and went to the window but found out that it was an extremely long height, she would probably fall to her death if she jumped down. There was nothing to aid her either, she sat back on the bed as different thoughts of escape ran through her mind.

Ryan had the entire police department outside searching for Aliya.

I don’t care what you have to do, just find my fiancé. She’s been gone for ten hours now, how can you tell me, you still found nothing.

I’m sorry Mr. Andres, we’re doing everything possible to find Miss Finch, I believe we will be able to find something.

Well, I don’t need your assurance, I need results. Ryan roared as he left the police station.

Aliya didn’t have a choice but to eat the food Tessy brought in, she was nervous about the wedding and didn’t have breakfast and she was really hungry. She needed the physical strength if she wanted to escape and since they hadn’t done her any harm, she guessed that the food would be safe.

Aliya had taken just a bite when the god of hades arrived.

She dropped her food.

It was him, that face, how could it be him?
