Nicklaus's POV

"Hmm... I've everything but not a wife you know, so why don't you become my wife?" I offer in a casual tone.

I can clearly see her shocked reaction.

" What are you saying? Are mental or something?"

"Well, if want to save your granny's little shop then you've  no other choice, baby." I murmur.

Tears are swimming in her eyes yet she is resisting it from shedding.

I'd love to break this strength... I mentally smirk.

"Please don't do this." She begs.

This makes me gripping her hand more tightly.

"WHAT WRONG HAVE I EVER DID TO YOU?" She lashes out. I can detect the crack I caused already through her eyes.

"Please let me go." She pleases.

How can I let her go. She has to bear the sufferings which I suffered. Her father caused so much and now being his daughter, she'll pay until her last breath.

"You've 24 hours to make up your mind. Don't you dare to tell anyone whom you're going to marry except your friend and that old granny. The wedding will be held privately and the media won't get any hint of it. The wedding is next week, on Sunday. You don't need to worry about it. Everything will be arranged. You just prepare yourself to be Mrs. Salvator." Winking at her with smug smile I rejoice in my succession of the beginning of my revenge.

She doesn't snap back or even give any reply. She just keep her head down. I put my index finger under her chin, forcing her to look up.

"What if I don't agree to your proposal?" She murmurs in barely audible tone.

"Do you want the people you care about to no able to see the next sun rise?"

Her eyes widen and she starts to panic even more.

"Leave!" I order.

She is about to leave, when I again speak up, "Make your choice wisely, you wouldn't want to regret it later, now do you?"

"Either ways I'm gonna regret it anyway."
She mutter in sad voice and leaves.

A week later

"What the fuck dude! You're getting married tomorrow and you're telling now! What is wrong with you?"  Alex enquires me like a cop.

"Relax man, I know what I'm doing. I don't need to explain anything regarding my personal life. Tomorrow is my wedding, be there as my best man. Thats all I'm asking for. Is it too much for you?" I irritatingly reply.

"Wow, since when did you become this man Nicklaus, whom I can merely recognise as my brother? Why suddenly you are getting married any way? Its not that you are in love or something"

He takes my full name indicating he is really pissed at me right now. But I don't care, and I can't risk telling him my motives. He'll never allow me to do such things.

After an hour long conversation he finally agrees. But he isn't still much convinced.

The wedding day

Today is the day. The day of the begin of my revenge and that bitch's eternal pain. She has no idea what's waiting for her ahead.

"Are you sure about this, Nick? Think about it again. Don't make that girl suffer your wrath Don't ruin a life like this" Alex suggests me.

"Buddy its the hundredth time you asked me. I'm well aware of what I'm doing. Everything is fine. Now relax and come down. We've a wedding to attend." I smile.

The music starts, soon as my bitch of a bride arrives at the aisle. Her face is veiled with the white net. For a moment, I  sucked my breathe seeing her in that white wedding gown.

Beautiful!

Erasing my thoughts quickly I get ready for the start.

"Take care of her, son."  Putting her hands to mine, the old lady requests me.

"I'm full intended to do that." I assure her. But only if she knows.

"Do you Nicklaus Williams Salvator take Christina Rose Martin as your lawfully wedded wife?" The priest asks.

"I do." I mumble.

To make her life miserable, yes I certainly do. I take my own vows.

"Do you Christina Rose Martin take Nicklaus Williams Salvator as your lawfully wedded husband?" The priest now asks her.

She remains quiet. The priest asks again. This time I give her hand a tight squeeze. She looks at me in the eyes. Her eyes are begging, tears are shedding but I don't give damn.

I give her a stern look which makes her whispers, "I do"

Then comes the ring exchange part. I intentionally push the ring into her finger harshly and she hisses in pain, after all I brought ring smaller than her actual ring size.

After the exchanging of the rings, the priest announces, " With blessings of the almighty I announce you man and wife. You may kiss the bride." I leans in and give a peck on her wet cheeks and in a hush tone I say,

"Welcome to hell, Mrs. Salvator"
