CHAPTER 3

The raw screams of Felix couldn't be heard anymore. Mr Adams walked out of the iron doors, with bloodstains on his trousers and gloves.

Ring Ring.

He took out his phone from his pocket.

“Big brother!” A clear female voice shouted through the phone.

“Why is everyone trying to make me deaf today?” Mr Adams said, taking off his gloves and throwing them to the floor.

“Big Brother, where are you?”

“Working”

“Shouldn't you be preparing for your wedding”

“What wedding?”

“Yours”

“I never said I was getting married” Mr Adams coldly glanced at his secretary standing beside him.

“Well, Grandma is already preparing for the wedding though and -”

Mr Adams quickly cut the call, the room temperature quickly dropped a few degrees. “Phillip, how is it I didn't know I'm getting married”

Phillip shuffled back and swallowed. “I didn't know till yesterday Sir”

The bodyguards beside Philip were trembling and finding it hard to breathe. Phillip has always been grateful for being a beta since he started working with Mr Adams.

“Get the car ready” Mr Adams said as he walked to the exit. “We will be going to the family estate”.

“This is bad” Phillip mumbled.

______________________________

Mr Adams pushed open his grandma's study, the door hitting the wall with force. “So who is getting married, Grandma?”

An older woman, whose beauty was never tainted by age sat behind a desk. She glanced at Mr Adams briefly and continued signing the documents on her desk. “Is that how you greet your grandma?”

“And is that how people get married these days?” Mr Adams questioned back as he sat down in front of his grandma.

She sighed, taking off her glasses. “I'm doing this for you Jacob.”

Jacob smirked. “You mean trying to get me married without my consent”

“Would you have agreed?”

“ Of course not.”

“And that's your answer.”

“Call off the wedding.”

“The wedding is tomorrow, what would people think if I call it off.”

“I don't care,” Jacob said, slamming his fist on the desk and one of the desk feet broke off. His eyebrows were knitted and a huge vein popped out on his forehead. He was furious.

“I'm not calling off that wedding” his grandma said between gritted teeth. “You are twenty nine years old and the heir to the Adams company”

“I'm not getting married”

“You should, if you still want to still be the heir”

“Are you threatening me”

“No I'm not, I'm just telling you the facts” she said getting up from her seat, picking up a file. “Here is the information on your soon to be bride”.

Jacob stared at his grandma, his eyes bloodshot. He slowly rose from his seat and left the office.

His grandma grinned “Philip, take this with you.”

Phillip took the documents and left the office.

“I can't wait for this wedding,” his grandma said with excitement.

________________________________

This was the first time that the maids of this house paid attention to William. Since 5am the maids have been getting him ready for his death.

His entire body was scrubbed clean, even his ass and dick privacy was invaded. Different types of oils were massaged on his body. He felt like a Thanksgiving turkey.

“Have a seat” one of the maids said as she pulled the dressing table chair for him to sit. Immediately he sat down, make-up was applied on his face, his hair styled for a prince. He felt like a model preparing for a shoot.

“Hurry up, we don't have a whole day,” Alex's mother said, with the maid behind her holding a white suit. That suit looks very expensive.

Alex's mother looked at William for a second and left saying “Get he dressed quickly.”

William stared at his reflection in the mirror in disbelief. “Is this me?” He looked handsome. No. Beautiful if he says so himself. The white suit was a perfect fit, although it hugged his body too much for his liking, his figure was in full view.

“You look like a slut right now.”

William didn't need to turn to know who's voice was that.

“Mom has gone out of her way to get that suit for you. It was done by one of the top designers in Hawkwood” Alex said, smoothing down William's collar. “Too bad, nobody like you is wearing it. It doesn't matter since it's to save our reputation”.

William didn't say anything or even flinch. He just stood like a statue.

Alex turned his face toward his, “Cat got your tongue or you're mute now?”

“Young master, please you might ruin the makeup.” a maid nervously said.

Alex lets go of his face. “You're right, we can't let that happen. Today is a big day, a leach is finally letting go”.

William bit his lips till they bled and swelled. But that only made his lips look plump.

“It's time to go little brother” Alex said with a big grin on his face like a clown.

That smile made William's skin crawl in disgust. He took a deep breath and walked out of the door.

William felt nervous, his heart felt like it would fall out and his palms holding the flowers were sweaty. Is it too late to run out now, he looked at the bodyguards standing outside.

The huge door in front of him opened, the sweet melody of the piano in the background. The guests turned towards the door.

William felt weak in the legs as he dragged his legs forward to the altar, every step was like he was wearing heavy metal on his legs.

William stood face to face with Jacob Adams. Damn he's tall. William always prided himself on being taller than his peers but right now he felt like he was like a mouse in front of a tiger. William gaze met Jacob's. His eyes felt like a bottomless abyss swallowing him whole.

“You may kiss the groom,” the priest said.

What!

Does that also apply in this kind of marriage? William has never held hands before. Now he is kissing a complete stranger.

Jacob looked at the trembling body of William and slowly lifted the veil covering his face. He is pretty, he thought as he bent down and pecked those pink lips. A sweet scent of peaches lingered.

Clap Clap.

A thunderous clap echoed in the hall.

William's fate has been sealed with Jacob.

For Better or for worse.
