EMILY'S POV
"My name is Emily, I am twenty-two years old and today I am getting married to the love of my life."I smiled happily and posted the video I had just taken on my i***a story. I knew my friends would go crazy once they saw the video because my wedding was more or less a private affair. Brian doesn't like publicity so only family members and very close friends were invited to our wedding.Today is a very special day to me, It has always been my dream to say my vows to Brian in front of a priest and seal it with a kiss, and today, I get to make that dream a reality.Brian and I have loved each other since our high school days. We were each other's first and I laugh each time I remember how shy I was that night.We got separated after high school though since I had to travel abroad for college. It was a very difficult time for me, not only was I away from my Brian, but I also lost my dad during that period.My mum came over and spent a long time with me since I had exams. We have always been each other's support system since my dad left us and every day I feel more grateful to have her in my life.My dad was the richest real estate mogul in Houston when he was alive and after his death, my mum had to step in and take the reins of the company. She has taken it to greater heights and after my wedding, she will retire from her position and I will get to fill in her shoes since I studied estate management in college.Brian and I reunited when I got back from college and after being apart for five years, our love only got stronger. He is just so crazy about me and when he popped that question, I felt on top of the world.The makeup artist took more pictures of me and finally told me she was done. I got up and stared at my reflection in the floor-to-ceiling mirror. God, I looked amazing!I wasn't the most beautiful girl in the world, yeah but I was way above average. I had midnight black hair, Cherry sweet lips which were blossom soft, and glossy skin. My brows were neatly carved and my luxurious corset wedding gown revealed the fact that I was wasp-waisted. My dainty nose accentuated my lovely dimples which became visible whenever I revealed my oyster-white teeth and my velvety lashes fluttered whenever I was happy, like now. Brian could never get enough of my sea-green eyes which were a beauty to behold and this is why he always finds himself lost in them.I looked just as I had imagined and I knew that I was going to take Brian's breath away.My best friend and maid of honor, Sally, reminded me that it was time to leave. Although it was difficult for me to tear my eyes away from the mirror, I knew that I had to do it. I couldn't afford to keep my groom waiting.I arrived at the church before Brian and it made me quite happy because people naturally believed that the groom always arrived before the bride but I set a different record. After a few minutes, my maid of honor informed me that my groom had arrived.I was excited that I suddenly stood up while smiling and looked at the back, however, my maid of honor tapped my arm, "relax Em, he is still outside. I know you are happy but please don't die from excitement before the ceremony begins."I laughed shyly. I knew I was too anxious but I could not help it. I have waited for this day basically all my life and now my moment has arrived.I heard whispers behind me and knew that Brian had arrived. I briefly looked behind me and saw him walking majestically, looking handsome as always.He walked up to me and we were made to stand before the priest. Brian couldn't seem to take his eyes off me and it was the same for me. I kept staring at him as my heart rate increased.We had come a long way without letting anything come between us. Not the fact that we were once separated, nor the fact that Brian came from a humble background.The priest asked me to say my vows and just before I opened my mouth to speak, I heard a commotion from the crowd of people seated in the church.Both Brian and I turned to see five men all decked in expensive suits. Four stood by the door while the one who seemed like the leader walked toward us.He was one of the tallest men I have ever seen and I was surprised at the people's reaction toward him.He was empty-handed yet they were all covering their faces in fear as if they were trying not to be noticed by him and my mum was no exception. I heard my maid of honor say, "oh my God, it's Daniel Straw" before covering her face as well.Who the hell was this guy and why was everyone afraid of him? More importantly, why was he gate-crashing my wedding?I stared at my mum as she briefly lifted her head. I could see the fear in her eyes but I didn't understand why. If these men were armed, I would have believed that they were kidnappers but they hadn't even harmed anyone, so why was everyone so afraid?I looked into Brian's eyes and saw that he was also afraid. Beads of sweat had formed on his forehead and his body was almost shaking. I looked at the priest and noticed that his eyes were closed. I couldn't believe he was also afraid.Perhaps I also needed to be afraid. I had not been in the country for years which was probably why I didn't know this man but I wasn't afraid of him. Despite how everyone around me cowered, the only thought that came to my mind was to kick him out of the church.However, he was too tall and I knew my capabilities so I just stood where I was and stared at him angrily until he got to where Brian and I stood.He suddenly held Brian by the neck and began to choke him. Brian, who had received martial arts training struggled with all his might but he couldn't free himself from the man called Daniel.I tried to grab his hand in an effort to free Brian who had almost stopped breathing but Daniel held me back with his other hand and flung Brian onto the wall.I watched in horror as Brian fell on the floor and began struggling to breathe. Tears fell relentlessly from my eyes and I stared at Daniel with so much anger."Who are you and what do you want from us" I screamed.He ignored my question and just kept staring at me. One of his men walked towards Brian who was writhing in pain. He stood by Brian who had now covered his face in fear despite the pain he was experiencing.I became so angry and suddenly lost control of my emotions. I looked around and noticed an iron pole that was used to support the altar.Without thinking twice, I picked it up and struck Daniel on the head with all my might. Any other guy would have fallen from the impact but not him. He didn't even try to stop me when I picked up the iron pole.He still stared at me without flinching and wore an annoying smile on his face. I suddenly became afraid as my hair stood on end. Was this a dream? Because if it was, someone needed to wake me up from this nightmare before I went
Emily struggled to get out of the car but the doors had been locked by Daniel. She took off her shoes and was about to break the window on one side of the car, however, Daniel opened the door of the car and sat beside her.Refusing to give up, she hit the other window with her shoes while Daniel encouraged her, "go ahead and break it down so we can both go back into the church and finish everyone off."Emily paused, the second she heard the threats in his voice. Daniel was just too cruel and she had no reason to doubt his words. She wore her shoe back and shrunk into a corner while Daniel ordered one of his men to drive away.As the car drove away, Emily tried to think of ways to escape before they arrived at their destination. She feared that Daniel was going to lock her up, wherever he was taking her and her best chance of escaping was before they arrived there.On their way back to his home, they got to a traffic light and police officers were standing by it. Emily felt grateful tha
Emily lay on the bed, sleeping until it became dark. Daniel brought food for her and said, "My beautiful wife, dinner is ready. I brought it so you can eat to your heart's content." Hearing his voice, Emily instantly opened her eyes and sat up. She stared at the tray in Daniel's hands and pushed it away, causing the food to splash on his body and the plates to fall on the floor. Everywhere became messy and the plates and trays broke into different pieces.Daniel stared at her and shook his head. "You shouldn't have done that, darling. Now you're going to have to go to bed hungry."Emily stared at him and then the plates without a word. He went out of the room, came back with a mop, and cleaned the entire mess. After that, he took the broken plates and tray away and dumped them in the trash. He came back a while later after bathing and making himself look fresh.Emily noticed that he had changed his clothes and was putting on a different set. She turned her face away from him but he
Emily stared at Daniel through the window as he walked over to the pool, while Ashley got into her car and drove away. She shook her head and thought, "What an evil monster." She looked at her body; her clothes were torn, and she was almost naked. When she stared at her face in the mirror, she looked horrible because she had refused to take a bath last night.However, she knew she could not keep herself dirty. She wanted to do it to upset Daniel but seeing that he was someone who would go to any length to get what he wanted, she didn't want a situation where he would forcefully give her a bath. She looked at the things he had kept for her on the table. She picked up the supposed clothes he had asked her to wear, and it was sexy lingerie. She shook her head, "Such a pervert."He had also kept a toothbrush, skin care products, and many other things he believed she would need. She folded her arms and thought, "He must be doing this a lot. I mean, how could he know a girl would need all
Emily instantly covered her breasts with her hands as Daniel tore off her clothes. She wanted to run away from him but he caught her and threw her on the bed.He pried her hands off her body and pinned them by her sides. "Look at me," he ordered when she closed her eyes.She opened her eyes and was surprised to see that the wound she had given him on his lips had disappeared and his lip was as though she never bit him.She could have sworn that she tore off some of his flesh with her teeth."Who are you?" She asked suddenly overcome with fear.Daniel smiled at her, "I am Daniel Straw, your husband. The one who adores you. The one who wants to make love to you.I already told you before, it's no use trying to fight me off. Be still and let me make you feel like a woman."After speaking, Daniel cupped her breasts and fondled them before placing his face in between. He looked up at Emily briefly and noticed that she had closed her eyes again.He took both her nipples in his mouth, sucki
Daniel made sure to show Emily where the kitchen was as well as a bedroom with a wardrobe full of clothes. He told her, "Each time you want to change up, you can unlock this room and take out whatever clothes you want. As I'm leaving for a few days, I want to make sure you are comfortable and free. You can move around, call anyone you want, and you even have the pool in case you want to swim. Take note, don't do anything I wouldn't want you to do." Emily nodded in agreement. After speaking, Daniel left the house and opened the door of his car. Before he got in, he stared at Emily, who was looking at him through the window. He waved at her, but she rolled her eyes. Afterward, he got into his car and drove off.The moment he left, she began to think, "What do I do? How do I get out of here?" It wasn't up to ten minutes after Daniel drove out that the phone he had left with her rang. She stared at the phone and wondered, "Could Daniel be the one calling me? He is the only one who ha
Daniel noticed the look of surprise on Emily's face, but he also noticed her injury. Concerned, he approached her and gently held her leg to assess the sprain. Emily, fearing he would harm her, looked up at him in fear. However, to her surprise, Daniel scooped her up in his arms, carrying her bridal style, and brought her back inside the house. He carefully placed her on the bed in their bedroom and sat beside her. Tenderly, he massaged the sprained area of her leg, trying to provide some relief.Emily closed her eyes, wincing in pain as Daniel began to rub the area. She could feel a slight alleviation, and when he was satisfied that she felt some relief, he released his grip. Meanwhile, while waiting, Ashley's phone rang, prompting her to change back into her human form and answer the call. The caller informed her, "The boss has returned home. He didn't attend the meeting but canceled it. You are in danger where you are." As soon as Ashley heard this, she quickly ended the call
Daniel tried his best not to get upset with Emily, despite her reaction towards him. He did his best to care for her while the pain in her leg lasted, but he knew that someone must have been in contact with her for Emily to attempt an escape. As he checked the camera footage, he realized that she had managed to evade them and escape through the back of the fence. This convinced him that someone close to him had helped her. The suspects narrowed down to the guards, his employees, and Ashley, as they were the only ones who had been to his Villa. Determined to find out the truth, he vowed to make sure the betrayer faced the consequences.After spending the next two days caring for Emily, her leg finally became better. Daniel woke up in the morning, served her breakfast, and then informed her that they were going out to the city, instructing her to get ready. However, when she was done taking her bath, she wore a simple gown, lay on the bed lazily, and said to him, "You can go alone if
