Chapter

ROSETTE'S POV:

So this was it, I was married.

I looked at the heavy ring on my finger. It was beautiful, a big diamond sat in the middle but it didn't end there, even the bands were braided with diamonds.

It was too beautiful to sit on my makeup covered hands. Every scar on my body was whispering to me. Telling me. I didn't deserve that ring, my body was too ugly for this ring to fit in.

ROSETTE'S AND CAELUM'S RINGS:

I looked at him, sitting at my side, the car had come to a stop at the traffic signal. His eyes were closed, probably exhausted from all the events today, his head resting on the slightly reclined seat.

We were driving to his house. I knew nothing about this man, except the fact that he had a mad temper, and his birthday was on 13th August, that's right, he was born on the devils day. And was a ferocious leo.

What else could I expect?

I was practically staring at him, my eyes scanning his devastating features. I know I had made an oath about hating him till my last breathe... but we all have cheat days, mine were just moments.

My eyes slowly took in the detailed of his face. The extraordinary forehead, to his straight nose, to his high cheek bones, to his lips... those lips....

After the priest had declared us husband and wife, he had kissed me.

His lips were gentle at first, as if testing the waters, then his kiss had become intense, delicious and demanding. He had tasted like champagne and spear mint.

His opened his eyes, flashing me a dirty smirk, he said, "Take a picture, It'll last longer."

My cheeks burned with the warmth that ran across my veins. I turned my head to the window, hoping that he would stop looking at me, but he didn't.

CAELUM'S POV:

I had known that she had been staring for quiet some time, but I had no idea why, and when I opened my eyes and found her eyes on my lips, a dirty satisfaction ran through me.

I looked at the soft curves of her lips and then traced my way to her alarmed honey hazel eyes.

Even after I gave her a remark and she turned her red face to the window I kept looking at her.

Why? Well because I needed some answers and I knew so did she.

"So as per you said, you will not aim anything on my family to seek revenge on me right?" she asked me.

I nodded a yes and asked, "So my wife, since you have sold yourself to me, I would like to know, about the man walking you down the aisle"

She looked alarmed. "Please leave him out of this.." she said, but that wasn't the answer of my question.

I raised an eyebrow, urging her to answer what was asked.

"He is my best friend, I've known him since I was eleven, he's two years younger to me."

"Okay, but that still doesn't explain why he walked you down the aisle instead of your dad."

"My dad wanted him to walk me down the aisle."

"Why?" I was genuinely curious.

"I don't know." She shook her head slowly, I knew she was lying, but her face had become so sad that I couldn't really bring myself to ask her again.

No matter what monster I claimed to be, my heart was still human.

I nodded lightly.

The car came to a halt and I looked outside the window.

"Okay then Rose darling, we are here."

Both of us hadn't realized how fast time had passed through.

We were here, outside my house, and it was just the starting of her chapter in hell.
