Chapter Eight

Emily Brown

I watched silently and sadly as my only best guy friend was been taking away by the police.

I cursed myself silently for not being able to do anything to stop what was happening. I knew I had to get Christian out of there, but maybe after the wedding.

The place became silent again after the police left with Christian and the priest continued with the procedures. He asked me to put the ring on my groom's finger and I did.

My eyes were teary, but I forced the tears back with all my might. I didn't want to make people think that am crying because of Christian.

Or else they might believe that we are really lovers. Christian is nothing more than a friend to me and I believed he did what he did some few minutes ago because he wanted to save his friend from getting into an arranged marriage.

I couldn't blame him either. He just loves his best friend too much.

After exchanging the rings, I knew there was surely going to be something like' you may kiss your bride ' and I was ready for that since its part of the procedures.

But what my groom did didn't surprise just me, am sure everyone else in the church was also shocked.

He didn't even wait for the priest to announce the permission of him kissing me, he just grabbed me by the waist and held me so tightly.

Then he tilted his head slightly and kissed me hard. His kiss was so fierce that I was even struggling to free myself from his tight grip.

He was kissing me like as if he has been waiting for it for years now.

Like as if he was going to eat my lips, roughly.

Like as if my lips was his favorite thing he has been away from for years.

He didn't let me go, until he was satisfied. After he released me, I was panting vigorously, fighting for air to breath.

Everybody in the church looked at us with widened eyes and I could tell what was going on in their minds.

Apart from my family members and his, everyone else would think that this is a love marriage and not arranged.

I kept mute and lowered my eyes to the ground not daring to even look up to meet his brown glittering eyes.

I didn't know why he kissed me so fiercely in front of everyone like that. I couldn't even tell whether the kiss was from his heart or was just some acting.

It wasn't long before everything was brought to an end.

I sighed silently in my heart and went outside the church with my new husband and my new family.

Everyone had left the church already, only a few people still remained in there.

My husband and his mother were having a conversation with my parents so I went straight to my nanny and hugged her tightly.

I was with my nanny now, so I thought there was no reason forcing my tears back to hide my sadness. I allowed the tears to fall uncontrollably on my cheeks onto my nanny's shoulder.

She patted my back slowly and said " Emily dear, please don't cry. You still have nanny with you even if you are married now "

Her words made me feel a bit easy and comfortable. I wished I could really stay with my nanny still even now that am married.

But I also knew that was impossible. I wasn't sure whether my new family would agree to that or not.

My nanny made me stand straight in front of her and cupped my cheeks in her hands gently. She then wiped the tears off my face and said "Emily dear, don't worry, I'm sure you are going to like your new family and your new life. I believe your husband will take very good care of you and make you forget Samuel Green as soon as possible"

She formed a very wide grin on her face after uttering these words to me and they made me feel peaceful.

I was worried about how my new married life was going to be, but after listening to my nanny, I felt at ease.

I started to think that maybe my nanny is right. Maybe my husband isn't bad after all and that he will take good care of me.

'But what if what am thinking about him is wrong?' I began to feel sad again after this thought and pulled my nanny into a hug again.

I can't only think negatively about my newly wedded husband. I should think positively about him too.

But why do I feel like thinking positive about him will only leave my heart with a very big scar?

No! I can't allow myself to be deceived again.

Getting a broken heart from Samuel Green was enough to make me wise about love.

I can't and mustn't fall in love again.

I fell in love blindly with Samuel Green and the only reward I got in return was a broken heart and lies.

I wasn't going to allow myself to be fooled ever again. I am about to stay with a man whom I've only met once and that too on our wedding day, but if he will be nice and caring towards me then, we might be able to live peacefully together without hurting one another.

I was zoomed out of my thoughts when my mother approached me and pulled me into a hug.

She whispered into my ears " Emily, thank you so much for helping your parents solve the biggest problem of their company "

I pulled out of her embrace and threw her with looks full of disgust.

Selling me to the Grey family was enough wound for me. Why did she have to remind me that I've been sold.

Even after selling her own daughter to the Grey family, she couldn't think of anything else other than her fucken company.

I was about to curse her mercilessly but my father was fast enough to show up at this time.

He glanced at my nanny and said coldly " Emily is now married. So you shouldn't entertain her anymore or else she might not be able to stay in her new home"

My father held my mother's hand and got into their car ready to leave. He then waved at my nanny to get into the car so that they could leave together.

I felt like a half of me was been ripped off looking at my nanny getting into the car and leaving me behind.

I raised my hand about to ask my nanny to stay with me for a little while but my hand was grabbed by husband before I could even utter a word.

He placed my hand on his shoulder, grabbed my waist slowly and said smirkingly " stop thinking about your nanny and start thinking about me now. Start thinking about what's going to happen tonight after taking you to my home "
