After the Wedding

Nightroe saw her offer herself up for their wedding, and it shouldn't have come as a surprise that Svanna would face moments where the wedding night felt like a freezing polar vortex.

She wasn't in denial about how much it hurt when everyone witnessed a decision that wasn't okay. After the wedding vows, the man wasn't even willing to give her any additional touches at the direction of the priest, other than rudely placing the ring on her ring finger, and then the tall body just walked away. Gone as if there had never been a day when a pure relationship had bound them.

Svanna would not blame Nightroe for a situation like this. It was her fault for not reconsidering the man's threat. Wouldn't it be much fairer to imagine what kind of hell Nightroe would offer? Rather than thinking about her husband's current whereabouts.

Husband ....

The corner of Svanna's lips twitched bitterly at the thought of that one prospect. Pathetic. She married a man who hated her so much. It was the most ridiculous decision as long as she hoped to be sane after this. There was no time to brood over something that was already done.

Svanna's body jerked when suddenly the door to the room opened and Nightroe towered over her. The man's steps seemed to be immediately arrested as he found her sitting stiffly on the edge of the bed.

There was no conversation. The silence was a rumbling one... as loud as the pounding of the heart in Svanna's chest cavity. She didn't know what Nightroe would do. Fear as the man began to pace towards her and instinctively clenched her fingers into fists as the scent of cologne wafted around the air.

Nightroe was too close. Too fragrant. And... too dangerous.

Svanna swallowed harshly, detecting how the remaining space between them was barely spaced. The tall body was leaned in—literally almost touching—until Svanna's natural reaction was to squeeze tight.

She didn't want to do anything, at least for now, a time when the hatred was still too raw, and it certainly wouldn't involve a healthy relationship, but their relationship had never been healthy. Always with poison everywhere.

Nightroe even regarded her as a disgusting woman. Arranging for them to be in a position of intense rivalry. Svanna clearly refused to serve her enemy, even though the man's every need had become a responsibility she could never forget.

Damn. She mistakenly thought that Nightroe was going to do something on their wedding night. In reality, the man just wanted to grab the cellphone that was just lying on the bed, right so close to her ass.

Svanna's breath immediately came in long gasps when Nightroe took a step back. Either it was a kind of relief, or perhaps she needed to prepare herself for other unexpected actions.

Truly, Svanna did not keep the level of caution at times when stepping into the room. Fear made her almost unable to think straight. She thought the man was waiting for her with dangerous anger, but the painful silence felt even more threatening. Nightroe looked like he was contacting someone, then the man stepped towards the bathroom.

Svanna blinked. Repeatedly trying to control herself after Nightroe's body disappeared behind the door. Perhaps what she also needed to do was to get rid of the wedding dress that was still attached to her body. It had been too long. She felt uncomfortable.

For a moment, it was quite difficult to pull down the zipper on her back. Svanna did not give up. It was a bit of a rush. Afraid to imagine if Nightroe suddenly appeared. However, that was something she never thought about.

The bathroom door opened. Not knowing what kind of coincidence was trying to make the situation between them feel tense. Nightroe was only covered by a towel wrapped around the man's sexy hips. The perfect body was such a mess that Svanna almost froze in disbelief.

She dared not say anything. Her voice might create a storm, as it attracted Nightroe's anger to act up. Don't let the man's hatred end up being so devastating.

Svanna instinctively pulled up the thick blanket. Covering her entire body that was only clad in underwear after the wedding dress slipped down and letting Nightroe stare for quite a while, but the man then looked away.

It seemed to be enough with the need to put the cell phone onto the nightstand, because the rest of the time Nightroe really did not consider Svanna's presence to be visible around the man, even though they were in a very close position. She slightly thought that Nightroe would soon disappear—again—behind the door.

However, the man unexpectedly stopped, turned half a face, then adjusted their position so that they were facing each other. Svanna did not understand what Nightroe was going to do. The different height portions instinctively led her to raise her face. She silently raised her guard in case the man would unexpectedly take a bad action.
