The other woman

ELIZABETH’s POV

Was he trying to slap me?

I closed my eyes and his loud laugh made me open them.

“That is what I want, you must always be on your toes whenever you are anywhere close to me, get it?”

“Yes sir.”

I quickly replied lazily, and then he walked away.

The wedding program started, and my brother held my hand to the altar. It was a small wedding of just close relatives and a few friends.

We said our vows and exchanged rings.

“You may kiss the bride”

The priest said and I began to shiver when he brought his lips close to mine and held my waist. One of his hands was on my waist, the other was on my ass.

I was so uncomfortable, but could I push my husband's hand in front of people on our wedding day? That would look crazy.

His lips quickly pressed against mine like he had been waiting for it, his other hand caressing my ass, he deepened the kiss till I finally broke it off.

Everyone there had a good laugh, including the priest.

It was all over, a little party was going on downstairs but I was in the room packing my bags, Sabastian’s mum didn't want us to leave but Sabastian insisted on leaving.

I begged Sebastian to please allow me to spend the night with my family though at first, he didn't agree but his mum intervened and told him to allow me to go and he did.

My brother was still in shock that I married Sebastian Shelby, and he kept talking about how good Sabastian looked.

We woke up in the morning and left for Sabastian’s house. He had another car to take my family and Felicia to a house he arranged for them. I wanted to follow them to see the house but he refused.

We got to his house and it was bigger than what I had imagined.

It was great when we entered the house. It was covered with his pictures and flowers all over.

“Where should I put my things?”

I asked him, my voice shaky out of fear from being shouted at.

“Sebastian.. I'm sorry sir, it was a mistake.”

I quickly corrected myself and gasped.

He turned around and there was always something about his looks.

He walked close to me, he came even closer, and I felt trapped by how close he was

“So where were we?”

He said and leaned toward me, he pressed me against the wall and grabbed my neck, I went numb and my eyes flickered open.

He brushed his nose on my cheeks and sniffed my hair.

I closed my eyes ready for anything that he wanted to do because I couldn't do anything anyway.

He dragged me from the wall and held me tight to his body.

My eyes were still closed and my lips were ready to be devoured by him. He carefully tucked my hair behind my ear and came closer to my face.

I wanted to run away and escape but I also wanted to stay.

But instead of the touch of his lips, it was the sound of his smile that made me open my eyes as he pulled away from me and went back to what he was doing.

I misunderstood the situation and I felt so embarrassed.

I wanted the ground to open and swallow me, I avoided eye contact with him and I saw how his smile widened. He definitely enjoyed making me look dumb.

He laughed loudly and he made a mocking sound when he looked at me, he saw the embarrassment on my face and he loved it.

“Hey, listen to me.”

He turned around again and looked at me.

“It's Mr. Sabastian to you, never address me by my name, understand?”

I nodded quickly without looking at his face.

“And about the hospital thing I will assign a driver to always take and bring you back, the day he comes back without you, you will be in very big trouble, do you understand?”

“Yes sir.”

“Before I forget, this isn't a real marriage and I hope you don't intend to spread rumors about us being married, don't even dare, Outside of this house, we don't know each other, do you understand?”

He said with a deep voice.

“Yes sir, I understand.”

“Now, there's a room just opposite mine, that's where you would stay, you don't expect us to share a room, do you?”

He made a funny face gesture and looked at me like he was anticipating my answer.

“Of course not, sir.”

I quickly answered, got into the room, and signed out in relief.

Heaven knows I never wanted to share a room with him, have had it in mind for a while and I was so happy that he also had it in mind.

I arranged my clothes inside the wardrobe, I looked around and realized this was my new life, and in just a week I was married, in just a week my life took such a drastic turn.

A life I would never have dreamt about a life I don't think I was ever allowed to dream of.

I was going to become a hematopathologist without paying a penny, instead, it cost me my whole life.

I heard him making a phone call and it was definitely his girlfriend.

It was late in the night I was in my room watching a movie when I heard a car drive into the compound, I peeped through my window and saw Mr. Sabastian, walk towards the car and hug the lady who came out from the car.

“That is his girlfriend for sure.”

I said to myself and sat down back on the bed.

I heard their giggles outside of my room and I increased the volume of the TV.

He opened my door without even knocking and they both walked in.

The lady with him looked familiar but I wasn't sure where exactly I saw her.

“So this is the lady you got married to?”

She walked towards me and looked at me from head to toe.

“Oh, babe, I'm so sorry if not for my situation. Why would I allow you to marry such a thing?”

She hugged and patted his cheeks.

‘She just called me a ‘thing’? How much more can I endure? It is too much.’

I thought as I bowed my head in front of them.

She told Sebastian to leave the room. She said we needed to converse with each other.

She had a very intimidating look.

I was so nervous. She brought a gun, a silencer.
