The Unwanted Matrimonial

“Lets just get one thing clear; I don't like you and you hate me. It's a cycle of not being fond of each other, and that's totally cool with me. As long as you stay out of my way, you and I will have no problems. Got that?”, he hissed lowly at me.You can go to hell for all I careIf you think I'll be like Oh yes husband. Whatever you say husband,then you got another thing coming mister.“I said, You. Got. That?”, he enunciated, snapping me out of my thoughts then raised his eyebrow at me“Yeah sure. Whatever”, I pushed past him while attempting to drag my suitcases upstairs and being the gentleman he is, he just watched me while pocketing his hands.“Ma'am, let me help you with that”, Mary appeared in sight, and she tried to help me“No Mary”, he warned. “If she wants to carry her own bags, let her”, with saying that she looked at me with sympathetic eyes before I nodded for her to let go.The last thing I would want would be to cost her job. I threw a glare at him to notice him smir

Damon's POV“You wanted to see me?”, I walked into my grandfather's study and closed the door behind me. He was sitting behind his desk, waiting patiently for me even though I was an hour late. I knew he was probably going to let it slide for now but if the meeting doesn't go as he planned, he'll bring it up.“Yes. Sit down”, he ordered while coughing badly. He was really sick recently, and I had to come check up on him once in a while because he was the only person I was really close to in our family. I was even closer to him than I was to my own father.“Are you okay? Have you taken your meds today?”, I asked walking towards the cabinet where his medication was kept.“Just sit down Damon”, he deadpanned. “Kim had already given me my medication for today”“Talking about Kim, is she around?”, a smirk played on my lips as I thought of seeing her. She was his personal nurse. And damn, that girl was the full package. Beautiful and smart, curves in all the right places. I could tell she w

Layla's POV“Welcome to the family”, Rose Kingsley, Damon's mother engulfed me in breath-taking, bone crushing hug“C…can't breathe”, I struggled to talk because she was holding me so tight. She released me and gave a nervous laugh.“I'm so sorry dear, it's just that I'm so happy. I didn't imagine my Damon getting married, especially to such a beautiful, well-mannered girl like you”, she cupped my face in her hands before wiping tears that were already streaming down her face. “I'm so happy”, she sobbed, and I wrapped my arms around her, running my hand up and down her back.“It's okay”, I said and we broke from the hug as we heard someone clear their throat behind us“Mom, we need to go”, Damon spat in cold tone before Mrs Kingsley frowned in disappointment“Oh, okay”, she turned to look at me, caressing my cheek and pulled me for a warm hug again. “Don't be a stranger, okay?”“I promise I won’t”, I smiled at her, she was being so sweet to me. A mothers love was the one thing I haven

Layla's POVIts been a couple of weeks after the wedding and I had to do nothing most of the time. Except helping around in the house. Besides from that, my life was complete torture as it seems I had married the devil himself."Mary. I'm home", I called out, and she hurried towards me to help with the bags. I had gone to the shops for a few groceries to her disapproval of course, but I insisted."You could have just let me go to the shops Ma'am", she said as we carried the bags to the kitchen"No Mary. I told you that I want to help around the house and that's exactly what I'm going to do and for the nth time, please call me Layla", I said as we packed the groceries, and she smiled."So, where's the Demon?", I asked, and she furrowed her eyebrows, clearly confused at what I was talking about and I quickly realized."Oh", I laughed at her facial expression, she looked so puzzled, it was hilarious."I mean where's Damon. I kind played around with the vowels and took out the a and repla

Layla's POVYou're probably wondering whether the Demon is still alive or not and unfortunately, he still is, sighI really don't care much about him. I'm just concerned that Mary nearly lost her job because of me because the Demon was convinced that she was trying to punish him because of the way he treats me. I told him so many times that I was the one who sprinkled the spice over his food, but Noooo,Mr Know-it-all《Flashback 》"She tried to kill me, she has to go", he roared at the top of his voice, banging his fists on the table"How many times do I have to tell you that I was the one who did it for Goodness' sake?. What do you want me to do for you to believe me? Turn myself in?", I rose an eyebrow at him and he scoffed mockingly"No, just because you two are friends there is no need for you to take the fall for her"Was he trying to get rid of her because she and I are friends?"Then if she tried to kill you, why had she rushed to get you to the hospital then?", I asked and he
