عرض المزيدForced to marry her due to family reasons, Alice Taylor, a woman he had only seen a few years during his childhood, when Robert sees her again, he only knows that despite all her beauty, he hates her. He hates her because she could have refused the marriage just like he did, but she chose to proceed with it, and he had no choice but to marry her, obeying his parents' orders, for the sake of business and better family relationship stability.
It was all a family arrangement, for the sake of the businesses, both parties benefiting, especially the Graham family, which greatly benefited from the union of the two.
The celebration involved both families, the influential and powerful Taylor Family, as well as the majestic and imposing Graham family.
Many important figures attended the wedding, witnessing the union of these two great families that were now becoming one, thereby increasing the influences they already held.
However, even though the wedding was perfect and everything was smiles, hugs, and more smiles, when they were alone, Robert looked at his new wife with contempt. And in that hotel room, where they would spend their first night together before leaving for their honeymoon, Robert directed all the frustration from that arrangement toward his young twenty-year-old wife.
The youngest of the Taylor sisters. Alice.
"Do you think I will love you now just because you managed to get us married?" his words left her astonished and without an answer. Who would have thought that Robert Graham would behave in such a manner? "Is that what you believe?" he spat with anger. "You must be quite foolish to believe such nonsense, Alice. I would never love you, and you forced me into this! We're married because of you!"
Cowering on the bed, still in her white dress clinging to her body, Alice looked at her husband with tear-filled eyes.
They were newlyweds, but everything was changing already. Why was he behaving that way in their first encounter alone? Was this how that man would always behave?
Could anyone have thought that the handsome and polite Robert, the younger of two brothers, who now controlled the Graham businesses, would behave this way towards his wife?
"I didn't force you," she said with a trembling voice. Both of them were strangers. Alice was the youngest of five sisters, all of whom were married to men just as important as Robert Graham. She was the missing piece, and her parents had arranged this union with the Grahams.
The last unmarried Taylor.
But when Alice learned that he didn't want to marry, she begged her parents to cancel the engagement. However, they ignored her pleas, claiming that no one could reject her. Cancelling the engagement at the Grahams' request would make it seem like they were stronger and more important than the Taylor family. For that reason, despite Alice's objections, the marriage had to proceed.
But now, in that room, there were only two people who didn't love each other and probably never would. A husband who looked at his wife with hatred and blamed her for the marriage he didn't want, and a wife who never wanted this marriage and did everything to prevent it.
"Undress," he looked at her on the bed, and at that command, Alice Taylor didn't move. "Undress! You are my wife, and you will obey my orders. You wanted this union, so you will be joined to me."
When Alice got off the bed, she lifted her gaze to her husband for a second and only saw a cold, hateful face.
Robert Graham snorted at the sight of his wife's curves, and that sound of disdain for her figure made Alice cover herself in embarrassment, embarrassed about her weight, the shape of her body, and standing naked in front of him. Warm tears continued to wet her face.
He was displeased with her slightly unflat, protruding abdomen, her wide hips, or her shapely legs. He walked up to her and made her lower her hands so he could observe her more closely under the yellow light on the ceiling, illuminating both of them.
"You don't have to do this," she whispered, wishing he wouldn't look at her that way because it was clear he looked down on her, on her appearance. "You don't have to do anything, we're married, and that's it, Robert. Don't view it as a responsibility. Especially if you despise me so much. We can...do nothing." Her words weren't a suggestion, but a plea.
"Now you're still ordering me around? First, you order us to get married, and now you order us not to have sex." He grabbed her face roughly and lifted it to him; seeing her annoyed him, and the idea that she would order him around infuriated him even more. "What else are you going to order me to do, woman? Don't you realize that now that we're married, I'm your owner?" "Your owner?" Alice found that very barbaric.
"You're better than me, I see it in your eyes," he accused.
"It's not like that! It's not like that!"
"Don't raise your voice at me!"
"Then listen to what I'm saying! I also rejected this marriage; I didn't want to marry you. I love someone else!" That confession was probably the worst idea, Robert's expression showed tremendous displeasure.
That was the worst thing Alice could have said that night. Upon that confession, Robert stepped back, distancing himself from her. Alice hurriedly grabbed her dress and tried to run to the bathroom, but Robert blocked her path. He wouldn't let her pass.
"Who is it? Who do you love?" Alice couldn't reveal that it was Robert's best friend, Jared Sinclair. But it was an unspoken, unexpressed love, something Alice had never told Jared, as they had only been college mates, and she had been in love with him since. She was instantly smitten, as Jared was very special.
"You don't know him," she lied. "Let me go to the bathroom, please."
"Tell me who it is, Alice Taylor. Who the hell do you love? Say it!"
"You don't know him! You don't know who he is!" she exclaimed in frustration.
He took her arms and shook her, causing the dress to slip from her hands, leaving Alice naked in front of him once again.
"Go to the bed," he pushed her towards it, and now Robert started undressing. With fear, Alice looked at her approaching husband. She had mentally prepared herself for this, the idea of being married to a man she barely knew and giving herself to him, without love, without either of them loving each other. But she didn't expect Robert Graham to be angry with her, and even less did she expect that, despite the contempt he showed, he would want to possess her on their wedding night.
No amount of previous preparation was sufficient for that moment. Alice was terrified; she didn't want to be with him, and she knew, from the way her husband was acting, that he would be rough with her during their first time.
"Robert...please," she said through sobs. Robert was by her side, and he was getting rid of her underwear. "We're not obligated to do this."
Naked, he began to touch her, Alice's body did not stop trembling, full of fear. He laid her on the bed and placed himself on top of her, he began to caress her hair, kissed her neck and shoulders, but never kissed or brushed her lips, he tried not to meet her face or even look at her. He spread her legs apart, after moistening his member he began to penetrate her, without taking any care, even though he realized that she was a virgin, even though he noticed that this was Alice Taylor's first time.
That was the worst night for Alice Taylor, where she only appeased the pain, the contempt and even the disgust she was beginning to feel towards that man with the image of her beloved in her mind, keeping him always present to be able to bear it.
There she realized that neither of them could love each other and that without even knowing her, he already hated her, believing that she was the reason for that forced marriage.
Ellie's eyes almost bulged out of their sockets at the sight of Lorraine's sudden change. She could sense the power running through her niece. The aura Lorraine exuded was more than just an urge, it was pure anger.Ellie crawled backwards, too surprised to act or do anything. She knew what she was supposed to do but she couldn't, she couldn't bring herself to hurt Lorraine. She was to protect her and not hurt her."Lorraine," Ellie called. Seeing her niece like this had not only surprised her, it broke her too. It was her fault that Lorraine had to go through this. If only she had done what she had to do at the right time then the urge would not have gotten so strong. "Lorraine, fight it. You can do it. Remember your destiny, think about your mother."Lorraine could still hear Ellie's voice in her head but it was getting dimmer with every passing second. Suddenly, Lorraine screamed, her voice echoed with excruciating pain. Someone was doing it. The same thing Ellie could bring hersel
After almost an hour of working on the passport David had given him, Kyle had found out that Mary, as I suspected, had been in and out of Lightwood several times over the last few weeks. According to him, she was in the city at this very moment."When last was she in Lightwood?" David raised a question and Kyle gave him a fiendish glare. He had just said she was still in Lightwood so what does it matter when she entered the town."What is she doing in Lightwood?" David asked another question, with surprise spreading all over his face. If anything, he has had one of the roughest stories so far amongst all of us."We'll have to find out. That's why we need to find her before she leaves the city," I answered, calculating the possibilities of finding her. It was not going to be easy, where would we begin to look? I asked myself. Just as it was impossible to look for a needle in a sea, it was same when the case is turned to her David pursed his lips tightly and smirked. " I don't think sh
Lorraine's POV"Hurry, we need to go before he finds you," Ellie said and began to hasten her steps. She was faster than I expected her to be. Perhaps it was because she was frequent with the road."Before he finds me?" I gaped, unable to hide my surprise. "Is he going to find me?" I halted and my eyes blazed with fear.This was the point where I was supposed to be confused and scared at the same time. And Yes, I was confused and scared.Turning her head backwards, Ellie saw that I wasn't following her anymore. "You need to hurry up, Lorraine, I'm sure he's coming for you right now," she uttered and stopped. I thought I had seen it all and there was possibly nothing more that would shock me again but hearing that he would be able to find me was something I had not expected.My head began to heat up with questions. Complying with her, I continued walking, and even hastened my steps and began to run. "Why is he able to talk to me despite our distance?" I asked but she didn't reply. W
Lorraine's POVJames had blood stains on him. I instantly knew whose blood it was, it was Kayla's.So all this while she had been the mastermind behind everything that was happening. I regretted not reading her mind when I had the chance.Unlike I expected, there was no sign of remorse in James's voice as he spoke. It was as if he had just disassembled a nuclear bomb that would have killed the whole world.After James has rushed out in between our discussion, I wanted to follow him but my mind suggested I gave him some space. It would appear like I was pegging him too much if I don't let him do some things alone.So I forced myself not to follow him and I crawled back onto the bed and waited anxiously for him to return and tell me what it was all about.I was waiting when I slept off."No!" I yelled as I jerked from the nightmare I was having. I was gasping for breath. I looked around the room, the walls were familiar. I was sweating like a rat dropped into a bucket of water.It was o
"What do you want me to do?" Kyle asked as he was finally able to clear the sleep off his eyes."I want you to track this number, get the location and everything on it that you can lay your hands on," David said, stretching the phone to him and scowling back at Kayla when he caught her doing the same
"Kayla, what's wrong?" He asked, minutes after he entered and she hadn't noticed his presence. When she heard his voice, she tensed and looked at him with a sad smile. Instantly, she darted her eyes back to the nothingness she was staring at before he came. "James," she said softly. She wasn't sorr
Why was everyone avoiding her? She looked at David, noticing the hard set of his jaw and the coldness that was in his eyes. What had she done to deserve this cold treatment from him? She couldn't think of anything. "As I've said already, nothing is going on. I am just a bit tired about everyth
Another huge twinge of fear and shock hit him hard in his stomach again when he turned and realised the voice was who he thought it was. He quivered backwards. It can't be. This cannot be real, he must be seeing a ghost. It had to be a ghost.No, it can't be. The mayor blinked his eyes several tim
