"I now pronounce you husband and wife"

The priest said and I felt hot suddenly.

I am his wife.

The mere thought made my heart beat faster, I felt shy all of sudden and I felt like hiding from all this.

Especially from the black-eyed man.

I was still processing the news that I am his wife, and I am married when I heard the next sentence which the priest said and my whole existence went frozen.

My head snapped up at the priest first and then at him who was my husband now. He was already looking at me and then he took a step closer to me making me miss several of my heartbeats

"Now you may kiss the bride."

I gulped as I saw him looking straight down at me with his emotionless eyes. The two-step distance between us come to end in just one step of his and then he placed his one hand on my waist.

I shivered at the connection, my cheeks turn redder and my heartbeat fasten. In a blink, he pulled me toward him, and my chest collided with his.

I heard the crowd hooting and whistling, but my all attention was on him who was looking straight at me.

My gaze dropped from the shyness and awkwardness I was feeling. But before I can look away I felt his big palm cupping my cheeks, and lightly squeezing them making me gasp.

My lips prick up a little. I saw his gaze dropping to my lips and I unknowingly gripped his coat in my fist.

Is he going to kiss me?

B-But how can he?

I mentally panicked at the thought, Kiss with Xavier I never imagined that but here it's going to happen.

He leaned down a little and I closed my eyes tightly unable to witness it with my eyes and then I felt his lips just below my lips. Near my chin.

My eyes shot open but immediately shut down on their own as I felt his sucking on my skin lightly. Unknowingly my hold on his coat tighten. The hooting got doubled but I felt lost in the slight touch from him.

He nibbled on my skin, his beard cheeks rubbing against my skin making me feel pain, but don't know why I didn't find it painfully. I was about release a sound on the unexpected assort but then I felt his pulling back with his one finger on my lips avoiding me to do that.

I panted hard once he pulled back like he just didn't make me breathless. For a second I looked up at him still panting, and saw his jaw clenched with his face straight, emotionless.

I immediately looked away feeling extremely shy, I never had any interaction with any men. Xavier is the first one to touch me in this way. That too in front of many people. I felt extremely embarrassed to react in such a way.

The crown clapped and then Maa came and took me down toward a sofa placed in the garden. My cheeks went red thinking Maa and Papa saw us doing such a shameless act.

B-But it's a ritual!

I convinced myself after saying this. I sat on the sofa comfortably as I was alone but the comfortable state was for only a few minutes.

Sitting there I felt his strong presence beside me and soon he slumped down beside me, I gasped at his sudden act and looked at him.

His legs were wide open with his hand on his knees, he was leaning ahead a little. His hair was set back but few tendrils were escaping making him look unexpectedly attractive.

My cheeks turn pink realizing I was again staring at him when on the other hand he hadn't spared a single look after the kiss.

Soon everyone around started dancing, I started to feel bored. The man beside me was too worried about my comfort that he kept himself busy with his phone. I looked around to see Amara and Ace were laughing around.

At this moment I especially missed my best friend-Sophie. To My bad luck, she wasn't able to be a part of My most awaited wedding.

I was lost in my thoughts when I felt something hot near my ear. I went stiff as I realized he was leaning toward me now. I looked at him with my peripheral view and saw him looking ahead but leaning to my side now.

I suddenly become nervous and my hand became sweaty. I kept looking ahead and trying to act not too obvious that he affects me...a lot.

"Do you want something?"

His husky voice in a whisper reached my ear, and his intoxicating scent blocked my senses. I stayed silent not knowing how to deal with the sudden change in me.

"I asked you something..!!"

It wasn't a question but a statement with was gritted out of his mouth. I don't know why but even after knowing well that he hates himself repeating any sentence I always make him repeat his sentence to get my answer.

"N-No"

I said. My nervousness on its peak, he was never this close.

"You want water?"

Oh yes! Please

"N-No"

I said knowing very well I was in direct hard need of water to calm my beating nerves but I don't want him to know I am feeling nervous.

For a second I looked up at him and saw him looking at me keenly-Intensely. I wasn't able to hold his gaze on me for long and I looked away but then just saw him motioning for someone.

Not after a minute did even I see a glass of water forwarded toward me. I looked up at the source and saw it was non-other than my husband.

My heart started to beat faster, as I looked into his eyes. Then again at the Glass of water.

How did he know?

I took the glass from him with a little surprise. Me and Xavier, we both were different, and we still are. So he understands my unsaid words is just so surprising to me.

He is so mysterious...

Later in the night.

Nothing changed still everything changed. I was the same Iris but not Iris Wilson anymore. I was Iris knight. I was living with the same family but now they aren't someone who took in their guardianship but now they are my In-law.

Most important, Xavier isn't now someone who hates Me and someone I am scared of. He is my husband now. My companion for forever.

I was standing in front of his floor, on the same spot I was on that night when I came to tell him he didn't need to marry me.

And now I am his wife...

Just the mere thought made me shiver. Realization hit me. I was going to live with him on this floor now.

The same floor I loved.

Isn't it a great coincidence?

I don't know what to do. Should I just go inside and sleep in the very first room I find.?

Or,

Should I go to his room as technically that's my room now?

Or,

Should I just stand here all night crying about my life events in just a span of 3 days..?

I was again lost in my own that I didn't hear his shoes clicking. I became aware of his presence when I felt his musky cologne entering my nostril. He walked silently toward me and my all self-confidence broke.

I felt nervous and scared of his reaction.

Maybe he will not like me here...

But to my surprise, he walked ahead of me after giving me a look. He then opened the door of his floor and stood there silently. I too stood there not knowing what to do next. But then I felt his gaze on me and I know what I was expected to do now.

He is waiting for me...right?

I walked inside and I was greeted with a silent atmosphere. His floor again was like him cold and silent.

I stood in the hall not knowing In which I was going to stay. Till now my emotions were all over the place, I was feeling nervous, shy, awkward, and many more.

He came behind me after closing the door and I bite my lips at the anticipation feeling I was having.

"Come"

He said. His voice echoed in the hall and I took a deep breath. I followed him. Scary-the only word that can explain the situation. No sound..just our shoes clicking against the floor and our breath.

He stooped just in front of a wooden door that lead to his room. My breath hitched realized he was taking me to his room. I looked down while biting my lips-fighting the unwanted thought invading my mind.

He opened the door wide and walked in, taking a long step he walked into the middle of the room in just 4 steps whereas I stood at the entrance fighting my fingers together.

"Your things are placed in the closet already."

He muttered. I looked at his back which was now covered in just a black shirt. He already discarded his coat.

My eyes widen at his statement, Am I supposed to stay in his room...? With him?

I was frozen My heart beat fast and I gulped. I can't!

How can I?

He hates me!!

I don't want to look at his face and see the hate and disgust he has for Me every day.

"Where i-is My r-room?"

I tried my luck. I bet he is doing this under pressure and I bet too as soon as I'll ask for my room he will not waste any minute to kick me out of his room.

He must be desperate to end this already.

But as soon as I said-asked for my room he froze. His hand stopped in mid-air from ruffling his hair. To My horror, he turned and he looked angry.

Very angry

I took a step back as he clenched his jaw. I already regret asking that question. My heart almost stooped when he started walking toward me. My legs froze after seeing him angry.

I don't want to hear his shout!

He stooped just in front of me, his chest pushed out, fitting exactly in the black shirt, a few tendrils of his hairs falling on his flawless forehead, and teeth clenched together.

He took a deep breath and to my surprise all the anger which was dripping from his face vanished.

He pushed his hand into his pocket and stood confidently. To My horror, I saw a ghost smile on his lips but that's not what made me almost faint. It was the line he said after.

"I am yours,so is my room"
