Amaira's POVThe car stopped with a screech as we reached the church. Lady Catherine and I were in the same car, while Austin and Ava were in another. Lady Catherine remained silent throughout the journey as if she is unhappy with the wedding in some way, and I am sure the fact that he can't do anything is eating her up from within. No mother in the world would allow her child's life to be ruined in front of her eyes unless there was a compelling reason. Her hands are bound too. She can't do anything to save her daughter. Only close family members are going to attend the wedding so only four of us including Ava have come here. As informed by Austin, Ava's father is not going to attend the wedding, and no one knows where Dominic is. We must complete the wedding rituals as soon as possible because guests are waiting for us in the palace. We can't make them wait for long. Lady Catherine was the first to exit the car, and I followed her. As I looked ahead I found Austin helping his sist

Amaira's POVAfter everything had returned to normal, we decided to return to the palace, where guests were awaiting us. We are already late, and we can't keep them waiting any longer. The newlywed couple went in one car. Groom's parents took another car, and the rest of us settled in a separate car.The entire ride was silent since we were all engrossed with our thoughts, and no one talked about what had just transpired a few minutes before. No one wanted to even think about it. Austin and Lady Catherine Were sitting nonchalantly as if fights and all were nothing out of the ordinary for them. I was so lost in thoughts that I didn't come to know when the journey ended and the car came to a halt in front of the palace. Lady Catherine was the first to emerge from it, and Austin quickly followed her. I was a little exhausted from the three hours of makeup plus the situation in the chapel, so it took me a minute to come out of it. I am also feeling weak because I haven't eaten anything

Amaira's POVThe visitors' cheering and hooting pulled us apart. The lights were suddenly turned on, and all eyes were on me. I looked down because I was embarrassed. I was about to run away from him when he grabbed my wrist and pulled me back to his chest. "Where do you think you are going?" Lady Catherine approached us and kissed my forehead affectionately, murmuring, "I hope you two get married as soon as possible."Was it a blessing or a curse for me?When we heard the clapping, our attention was drawn in that direction. Lady Catherine whirled around, while Dominic and I gazed up. Austin was in the center, clapping with her arms raised high to get the attention of the guests who were entirely focused on us."Attention ladies and gentlemen" he spoke while clapping "Now it's time for the newlywed couple to cut the cake," he said with a wide smile on his lips.Lady Catherine turned around to give me another charming smile and gently squeezed my shoulder before making her way to the

Amaira's POVAs the sun rays began to prick my skin, I stirred in my sleep. It was a little difficult for me to adjust to the lights and open my eyes, but I made it by blinking multiple times. I yawned and stretched as much as I could.Dominic was sitting on the chair beside the bed when I opened my eyes and my vision became clear. His legs were crossed on the bed, one on top of the other, and he was reading a book with a spectacle resting on his nose. "Hmmm.... Finally you are awake" he said closing the book with a snap. His words grabbed my attention and I looked up to see the time. My eyes widened. It was 3'O clock of the afternoon. I slept so long? "Why didn't you wake me up?" I asked the obvious question, looking at him with the same expressions of shock. "Because you were looking cute, sleeping carelessly," he smiled, drawing my brows together, "it's just because you had a long and tiresome day yesterday. I only wanted you and our baby to have enough rest" He went on to expl

Amaira's POVI woke up early the next morning since the one thought that had been running through my mind all night was of my father. I am growing restless now that I have discovered that Dominic knows something about my father. I can't sit silently until I don't know the whole truth but then again I can't ask him directly also. Dominic, as usual, was sleeping over me when I woke up. It seems like he still believes that I will run away if he didn't keep an eye on me.And I would have run away if his family hadn't shown me so much love and affection. They have treated me so wonderfully that I have forgotten what a monster Dominic is for the time being. And I am not sure what I will do if Dominic is any way connected to the incident in which my father died.Sliding out of his hold, I went directly to the bathroom to get fresh. I have to meet Austin to know the whole truth. I stepped out of the bathroom, taking a big, deep breath, to find Dominic sitting on the bed, his hair unkempt and
