Married for Revenge

Amelia's pov I couldn't sleep the night of my wedding because I was so happy, my stomach bubbling with excitement and my head buzzing with thoughts. Luke and I were stationed in separate rooms as required but I found myself tip-toeing to his room at midnight. We were currently at the wedding hall in which our marriage would be happening later today so as to avoid any traffic. My face fell as I approached his room, I could make out faint noises that didn’t sound right, I opened the door a fraction and I couldn’t believe what I saw. Luke was on his back and my own sister was on top of him, and they were having nasty, disgusting sex. Their faces were red and sweat glistened against them even in the dark, he kept whispering nasty words at her and could barely control how high his voice went. They were so busy with what they were doing that they didn’t hear my sharp intake of breath or the sounds of my heart ripping in two. "I thought you said you loved me, why are you going ahea

I woke up with a banging headache and muffled music playing around me. I opened my eyes slowly and remembered what had happened, a wave of sadness hit me as I stared down and realised I was still on the floor in my wedding dress. I tore the hem of it in anger and stumbled up, heading to my room to change into a tight, pale cream dress. I was supposed to wear this for the after party. As I approached the part where the wedding was happening, tears welled up in my eyes as I found Scarlett and Luke already married, seated at the love seat made for us, they looked happy together and my parents looked even happier. The after party had even begun, I wondered how they had found such a beautiful dress for her in such a short time. Perhaps she had hoped something like this would happen? My head was swirling, I felt nauseous. How could they have done this to me? Why was I so disposable? I turned away from them and let tears fall freely from my face, not minding if it ruined my makeup. I co

Ethan's povThat night with the strange beautiful girl was one of the best nights I had in a long time. I had initially gone to the wedding because I needed to mingle. My board of trustees were threatening to pull out their investments and sell their shares which was going to be very bad for business. They wanted me to settle down and produce an heir, someone of my own blood and grooming who would handle things when I was gone. I wasn't a very social person. I wasn't particular about getting married so soon. But I knew they weren't bluffing, they were serious about their demands and while I was the richest young man this city has ever known, it didn't mean I wouldn't be affected if they all turned against me. So I agreed and that was why I was at the wedding in the first place. I came conveniently late when the after party had already begun and decided to scavenge for a woman I could make my contract wife. I was about to leave-most of the ladies there already had partners- when

Ethan' PovI left the house this morning for work. I was in a hurry and I did not get to see Amelia before leaving the house. I had stopped for a moment at the door of her room before leaving, listening carefully to be sure she was still breathing. I know she would not do anything funny, I just have to be sure.My daily routine is wake up, have my bath and take some tea before heading to my office until evening time before I can head back to the house. I am in my car alone, driving to work.My driver is on leave at the moment, he pleaded with me for a quick leave days ago. He had given me a good excuse to be away and I am merciful enough to grant him his request.I drove my car by myself, carefully, avoiding potholes on the tiled road. Government officials are working already by this time. I arrived at the gate leading into the compound of my property, honking for the company gateman to open the iron jar for me to drive in. He opens the gate and waves at me."How are you, Peter?" I

Ethan's POVI had just arrived from work today. My lawyer did not show up the other day with the marriage contract documents. I was exhausted from today's work. I was paid a visit from some influencers and investors who live within the country and a long meeting was held.Luckily, Robert was not amongst the men who had visited and I am glad he wasn't. I did not want to face him for now, until everything had happened.I rested my head on my car seat, gathering strength to park and get down.I parked my car at the lot to walk into the house. I perceived aroma coming from the kitchen and I was used to Amelia's cooking habit.I understand that she is bored at home and wants to keep herself busy.I was happy there was homemade food today and I was also excited because I will feast on a scrumptious meal. "Good evening," I greeted her while I sat on the couch in my living room. She looked like she was waiting for me, I came back quite late today. "Good evening," she greeted me back, smili
