Present day:

Walking down the aisle I felt tears in my eyes, at how my life is changing before my eyes. To not embarrass myself I blinked them away rapidly.

I reached the stage. It was decorated with flowers and had seats in front of the stage. Only three people from my side and Kezr's parents, a blonde guy and a girl similar to Mama Heznaya, were sitting in the seats.

We didn't have many guests as I don't have any friends and family nor did my lovely husband wanted anyone to know about this wedding.

I bunched up my dress in my hands and I took a step on the stage.

Uff.....Finally reached. It would have been embarrassing to fall in front of everyone.

I looked in front of me and woah! Baby Jesus.
There stood in all mighty. The one and only, Kezr Heznaya with his 6'1 height. He wore a gray-brown tuxedo with his hair in short dreadlocks. He had a jasmine in his pocket.
My favourite flower. But I know it's nothing but a mere coincidence.

His blue-green eyes were staring back at me with his mouth turned up in a scowl. I immediately looked down.

•••••••••••••••••••••••

"Do you Kezr Heznaya take Rozella Jasmine Mogane to be your lawfully wedded wife?" Yeah Jasmine is my mama's name, Hence the reason I love Jasmines.

I looked up and he still had his scowl on his face. I looked down.

"I do" he said with a clenched jaw.

What? He does?

He was my last hope. That, maybe he was gonna say no and we both will be free, but no... his business means a lot to him and Iam just a buisness deal to him. Ouch.

I heard someone clear their throat taking me out of my thoughts.

I looked up and saw Kezr glaring at me and he nodded towards the priest.

"I-what?" Seeing my confused expression the priest said. "Do you Rozella Jasmine Mogane take Kezr Heznaya as your lawfully wedded husband?"

I swallowed a big lump in my throat and said,
"I-I do"

"You may now kiss the bride"

I completely froze with my eyes widened. I didn't think this through. He is gonna kiss me. What should I do? Swerve or should I slap him?

He came closer and closer and......

He kissed my nose.

Correction: He pecked my nose.

His lips were warm on my nose and I felt tingles going down my back.

Is it bad that I wanted him to kiss me?

But weren't you just contemplating on whether you should swerve or slap him. My subconsciousness mocked.

Yeah, well, Iam confusion. Nice to meet you.

Suddenly, Mr. Rudy Judy grabbed my hand and tingles passed down my whole spine and I shuddered. His hand was warm in my cold ones. I looked down whilst blushing.

As we came outside he immediately let go of my hand with a push and said, "Fucking hate contact with a fucking passion"

I just continued looking down at the pavement.

I looked up and saw his parents approaching us.

His father just patted my head and smiled at me, I smiled back. He seems sweet.

Mama Heznaya hugged me and whispered in my ear, "Just give him some time sweety and trust him and your marriage.....Think you can do that?" She asked.

"Yes Layla" I said.

"Oh hush! Call me mom or mama"

Should I call her mama? No, what if she changes in the future, I will call her mom.

Don't blame me, I have trust issues. Although, she has been nothing but good to me. Yeah the Jones were good to me too and look where Iam now, married off to some narcissistic butthole.

"Yes..uh...m-mom" God. It felt weird to call someone my mom after a long time, but like a good weird. She pinched my cheeks and I blushed.

"Ma, we are going to leave now" Kezr said in his deep voice.

"Okay honey", She kissed him on his cheek and I saw her whispering something in his ear to which he just rolled his eyes at her.

I waved at them and followed Kezr to his black SUV car.

I saw the blonde guy walking behind me, he just smiled at me and I smiled back.

Kezr entered the car, without helping me.

I swear to God....this man!

The blonde guy came over and helped me in. I mumbled a light 'thank you' to him.

Oh, look at that, there are some good people in this world, unlike some.

Blondie came and sat in the driver seat, me and Kezr in the back seat.

••••••••••••••

After what seemed like 10 minutes we reached a really lavish neighbourhood. There were so many amazing houses around. And I just kept looking at them in awe.

The silence in the car was not an awkward one but not a comfortable one either.

Mr. Rudy Judy just sat back with his sleeves till his elbows and his dress shirt's two button open and a frown on his face while he was busy typing on his phone.

And what was I doing?.... Admiring him and his perfect jawline.

We suddenly came to a halt. Kezr got out of the car and so did I. Yeah and he helped me....not.

I walked out and what I saw in front of me made me open and close my mouth like a fish.

It was a mansion, a freaking mansion.

It had white walls with blue roof and with a fountain in the middle there was a big garden surrounding it.

While I was their admiring his house, I heard his deep annoyed voice "Are you gonna come inside, or should I leave you here to sleep on the fountain?"

Why does he have to act so rudely? His name is right...Mr.Rudy Judy.

I looked at him and rolled my eyes. He glared at me and raised an eyebrow and I averted my gaze.

Upon entering the house, I saw that it was beautiful. It had a big living room to its right and had stairs leading up towards another floor. I looked up and saw 2 more stairs.

Damn this guy is loaded!

To my left was a kitchen with black and white cabinets. It was very neat. The living room was grey with grey and black pillows and had a large TV on the wall. The whole house had different kinds of chandeliers, lamps, and lights.

He started walking up the stairs and I followed him. The stairs had golden railing and were marbled.

This house was utter P-E-R-F-E-C-T-I-O-N.

We reached above and it had another kitchen but with grey and white cabinets and marble counters and black chairs. There was another living room but this one was a little smaller than the one downstairs.

We stopped towards a big hallway with stairs going downstairs, oh more stairs.

I saw only three white doors in that hallway. One beside the stairs and two beside each other, opposite to the stairs.

He came to a room beside the other one, opposite to the stairs.

"This is your room." He turned around swiftly.

What does he mean by your? Aren't we gonna share? And with that I accidentally blurted out my thoughts. How embarrassing.

"Aren't we gonna share a room?....W-we are married... I-I mean."

His eyes snapped up to me and in two long strides he was standing in front of me.

"Listen here you...We-" he said pointing between our distance "-are not a real couple. It's all on fucking paper. You fucking hear me!" He shouted.

I just nodded my head not trusting my voice right now.

"Now, Here are some fucking rules you have to follow if you want to live under my roof."

I nodded and looked away.

"Rule 1: Never and I mean never enter my room without knocking or in my absence."

Wait, he is serious about these rules? Where did he picked these from, a rulebook?

"Rule 2: You can roam around the house anywhere you fucking like but-"

I didn't like him cursing in front of me so I cut him off and said "Can you- please, not curse?"

He just looked at me and I held eye contact. His jaw ticked and I realized I just made a big mistake.

"Rule 3: Never fucking interrupt my fucking conversation."

Didn't I just tell him t-

"Rule fucking 4:" Why is he doing this? I felt tears gather in my eyes. "Never tell me what to fucking do and what not to do."

What happens if I break one of his rules?

"Understand?" I nodded.

"Use your fucking words!" He shouted. "I said, understand!?"

I flinched, "Y-Yes" and stuttered.

"Good. Now, as I was saying before I got rudely intrupted. You can roam around the house wherever you fucking like. The pool, backyard, garden, rooms, upstairs, roof, wherever. the. fuck. you. want. But stay inside the house, you are not allowed to go outside without my permission."

God! It feels like Iam trapped once again. Out of one hell hole and into the other.

"Rule 5: the last rule, for now" for now? "This is an important one, Rule 5, stay. the. fuck. away. from. me."

"Do you understand all these rules, or do I have to fucking spell each one out for you?"

I nodded but quickly realized what he said and I looked up at him and cleared my throat and mumbled a quiet "yes"

As he turned around to go to his room, my question is still un-answered, so I cleared my throat not trusting my voice and asked in a whisper like mumble.

"W-what happens, if I break one of the r-rules?"

He stopped and after five seconds, he turned around. I looked into his eyes and saw them darken enough to make me pee myself.

He took long strides and stood just enough close to me that I could feel his hot breath on my face. It smelled like mints. Oo, I love mints. Not the time Ella!

His leaned down and my breath hitched. His lips brushed my ear and he whispered "Well, why don't you do so and then find out?"

With that he backed away walking backwards, keeping eye contact and then turned around and went into the room beside the stairs.

I just stood there all flustered from our contact and heartbroken by his words.

Shaking my head and blinking my tears, I twisted the door knob to my room and entered it. And Woah! Just like that all my worries were forgotten for a minute.

The room. The room was utterly beautiful.

It had an amazing view with its ceiling windows and a queen sized bed. It had one wall peach and the rest of them were light grey. This is something that I would want in my room.

There was a painting which caused me a headache trying to understand its shapes.

I looked to my right and saw a really big walk-in closet. It was a dark one, maybe a little too dark for my liking but I liked it.

Everything about this mansion is amazing. Tomorrow I would go and take a tour of this place.

At least one thing feels right about this marriage.

I looked over to the wardrobe and saw all my clothes and jewelry of my mama that she left me, already placed there. I didn't have many clothes and that was shown by the quarter space occupied by my clothes.

Coming out of the closet, I looked over and right next to the lamp was a grey-white door, maybe this is a bathroom.

Will I have to share this bathroom with him? like at back with the Jones we had only one.

No silly, this is a mansion remember? And he probably doesn't even want to share a bathroom or anything with me for the matter.

I entered the bathroom and....you know what Iam not even surprised anymore.

But it didn't help me from dropping my jaw on the floor. It was all white and had a shower and a bath.

After gawking, I took a long bath and added different kinds of scent and something that caused bubbles.

I giggled and scooped the bubbles and blow them. I watched one of them float and then pop. Some even went in my eyes making me scream and screech.

After about an hour of relaxing in the bath, I went into the shower. I wrapped a grey towel around my body and came out.

Everything here is of either grey, white or black color, except for the one peach wall in my room.

At least now I know what his favourite colors are.

Taking out my pajama set, I wore some black pajama set with pink flowers on it and climbed into the cozy looking bed.

It was really soft and had a fur peach blanket in top of it.

Sighing, I looked down at my hand and saw my wedding ring. It's really beautiful. It is golden with little diamonds around it making it shine and be prominent.

His is similar to this one but just without diamonds.

Him. Just thinking about him put a sad smile on my face. I don't know why he is being so rude towards me, I mean it's not me who made the contract and forced him to marry me for the sake of his lovely land.

I mean he practically sold himself for some piece of land.

I could never. Oh wait! I just did.

With these thoughts in my mind, I prayed a quick prayer to my parents and closed my eyes.

And let me tell you that was one of the most beautiful and comfortable sleep I have ever had since 5 years.
