An Unwilling Union

Aurelia's POV"Do you, Aurelia Marissa Gianni, take, Judah Alessio Bianco, to be your lawfully wedded husband, to have and to hold, from this day forward, for better, for worse, for richer, for poorer, in sickness and in health, until death do you part?" " I do," I said then zoned out and moved as a robot being controlled by its owner for the rest of the ceremony until it was time to kiss the groom. The cold hard stare and the tight line of my husband's lips were evident enough to tell that this man didn't want to kiss me as much as I didn't want to kiss him.Judah leaned in and with his right hand around my waist, he pulled me close to him, he grabbed my face, he is so close that I can feel his fresh peppermint breath on my face, I close my eyes on instinct preparing for the worst. He swiped his thumb over my lips, I wait for a minute anticipating the dreadful kiss but nothing happened. I only heard the loud toots and claps of our guests.I opened my eyes to see him standing away fr

Aurelia's POVI woke up to voices around me, my head was pounding, it felt like someone was drilling holes in it. I winced and snuggled deeper into my pillow. Hold on, when did my pillow become so hard?Cold water soaked my body and I opened my eyes immediately and let out a little scream and jerked up."What the hell is going on?" I asked in a groggy voice and rubbed my temples, my head's pounding increased. Father, Lucia, and Owen stood at the foot of my bed staring at me with contempt, Father held the empty cup in his hand, he handed the cup to Owen and moved towards me, before I could react, a slap landed on my cheek.I cried out in shock."Father, what's going on? Why did you do that?" I held my bruised cheek, in all my years my father had never laid a hand on me."How could you do this to your sister, you slut?" He yelled, I didn't understand what he talking about."I don't understand, I didn't do anything to Lucia." I cried, I tried to think about what I could have done but my

Aurelia's POVI couldn't hold back the scream that escaped from my lips, Owen and Lucia turned to me, wearing identical looks of shame. Lucia scrambled off Owen and they tried to arrange themselves. Before they could say anything, I turned on my heels and hightailed out of the bathroom. I could barely breathe, I needed air and I needed it immediately.I ran towards the back door of the building. My eyes welled with tears and my vision was blurred, I pushed the door, luckily it wasn't locked, I tripped over the hem of my dress and tumbled forward, I closed my eyes waiting for the hard impact of the asphalt ground. But the impact never came, a pair of arms enclosed around my waist, holding me tightly to their chest. My muscles relaxed and I felt safe in their arms, I inhaled their cologne, and my chest fluttered. It was familiar but I couldn't put my finger on it. "Why are you trying to run away?" Judah's cold voice tensed my muscles immediately. Of course, he was the one. I opened my

Aurelia's POVI woke up later in the evening and for a moment I thought I had been kidnapped. The room was unfamiliar and so were my clothes. My memory returned and I remembered that I had gotten married to Judah. My stomach growled, I got up and made myself approachable before heading out of the room, when Gerald had shown me around the house, I had barely paid attention. It took me a while before I got to the kitchen.Luckily for me, the kitchen was empty, I looked through the freezer and I couldn't find any cooked food, I groaned and began to pull out ingredients to make pancakes. They were one of the easiest things to make and I was craving for them. I missed everything and began to fry my pancakes. I had made 3 pancakes before the chef ran into the kitchen."Oh no, ma'am please step away from the stove. What are you doing?" She cried. I looked at her shocked and confused. My hand slipped and I touched the hot pan burning myself."Ouch!" I jumped in pain, The short redhead ran to

Judah's POVMy car keys were in my hand before I knew it and I was already out the door. Gavin hurried after me."What happened?" He asked. I didn't bother to reply him until we were inside my car and I had started to drive."Aurelia just had an accident. While I was talking to her, I heard a loud crash, I called out to her but she didn't respond. God, she shouldn't have fucking left the house." My grip tightened around the steering wheel and I drove like my life depended on it.Luckily, the location of Aurelia's accident wasn't that far from my clubhouse. We soon arrived, I saw my brand new Mercedes rammed into an old Ford van, a little crowd had gathered around the vehicles. I quickly parked behind the car and came down, hurrying to where the crowd was. I pushed through the crowd and got to the middle, one of my men held a pudgy white man against the door, the man's face was red and he was sweating badly."What's going on? Where's my wife?" I asked the other of my men, his eyes wid
