Author's POV:After coming back, Grusha stormed inside, without looking back and Damien stood at the doorway, looking at the disappearing figure of Grusha blankly. Maybe, just maybe, she didn't expect him to look at her in that way when he saw her scars. Though they came back from the mall, Damien wasn't still over with what he saw at the fit-on area. He was still thinking about those marks on her body. He knew that those scars told a hidden story and he wanted to know it somehow. But his trance if thoughts was broken when Luca reminded him that he has to get ready for the wedding.Meanwhile, Grusha went straight to the bathroom and took a shower, knowing that she needs to get ready, nevertheless. When she came back from the shower, her eyes instantly landed on the beautiful wedding gown on her bed.Earlier when she was busy admiring the anklet Damien chose a wedding gown according to his will. It was a Schiffli lace appliqué on tulle over allover lace ball gown, beaded drop-waist bod
Author's POV:Grusha down casted her eyes, not knowing what to do. Exhaling a heavy breath, she took careful steps towards the bed, before grabbing the left box off the bed. She opened it to see the most beautiful pair of heels she has ever seen in her life. She ran her fingers over the shoes and grabbed one out of the box, before taking a seat on the bed. She lifted her gown to her knees and slipped one feet into the shoe, before adjusting her feet inside the shoe. Those shoes were little bit large for her but it was better than to be small for her. So, she adjusted her feet in them, before standing up and taking a trial walk towards the dressing table. She finally stopped at the dressing table and smiled looking at her reflection.She was happy. After a long time she was happy. She didn't know if it was the fancy elegant clothes she was wearing or the fact that she was finally getting away from her abusive family or the fact that she was finally getting away from Victor that made he

Damien's POV:Pavlov’s eyes were fixed on mine ever since I came to the church with a satisfied smirk playing over his lips. He knew what he did and he knew how it would have affected me but I was not ready to give him the pleasure he craves. I gave him a stern look before averting my eyes to look at the other guests in the church those who were murmuring quietly. All of them were wearing a smile over their faces but I could smell the hint of hatred and jealousy through them.Acting skills are a bonus you receive when you take part in this world. My eyes ran across each face in the church, eventually stopping at one particular who had been staring at me the whole though I didn't notice before. I watched his eyes turning dark with hatred and I controlled my urge to roll my eyes at him. Seemingly Victor has noticed me staring at him as he forced a smile at me which earned a smirk from me.'Why do I feel like that pathetic bastard is counting down the days till his death?'I averted my g
Author's POV:"Congratulations on your wedding young man! Finally you knew it was time for you to settle down. And now your grandfather can enjoy his retired life peacefully. Speaking of the devil, I heard that he is not doing well. What happened? I couldn't pay a visit to him since I had to guide Lia with her new position."Mr. Edwin finished his talk with a proud smirk, almost making Damien roll his eyes at him.Right after the ceremony Damien was caught by Mr. Edwin who is a friend of his grandfather and also a long term business partner of King Family. Damien almost thought of not inviting him since he always gets annoyed by his nonstop talking but he was not ready to break the friendship he has with Mr. Edwin since he knew that it could be of use one day."Thank you Mr. Edwin and yes, nonno has been feeling not well recently that's why he couldn't make it."Damien said though the real reason why grandfather didn't attend his wedding was because this marriage was not out of his ap
Author's POV: "You better take care of my sister Mr. King."Both men’s eyes snapped to Victor who was standing there with his eyes shamelessly checking out Grusha making her uncomfortable and nauseated."Well see you later mate. We both know that this won't be the final meeting right?"Pavlov said while playfully hitting Damien’s arm with a hint of threat which couldn't scare Damien at all. Damien ignored him totally while he left from there without even glancing at Victor. Victor was aware who he was dealing with when he refused Pavlov’s proposal and he should be ready feel the consequences. Damien’s eyes followed Victor's gaze and found his bride gripping his coat tightly while trying to scoot away with her head hung low. Her actions were enough to show him how uncomfortable she was with her cousin and it made him impatient to know what is going between them."She is my wife Victor. So, of course I would take care of her. I promise I wouldn't let even a dog's paw lay on her. Theref
Author's POV: Grusha wriggled in her place in sleep, still keeping her eyes closed while leaning against the window. After the brief information she got about where they were heading to, she didn't ask anything more and decided to let things be how they were meant to be. She tried her best to keep her eyes open but waking up early in the morning, going to shopping, wearing a heavy gown and carrying it all day all long without having a chance to sit down made her exhausted to the point that her eyes closed on their own and her head hit the glass with a soft thud which didn't wake her up at all. The position she was in was so uncomfortable to her and the heavy gown made it even worse as moving with it was more challenging than carrying it. However, with all these beings, she still managed to drift to sleep. Damien glanced at her frowning every time she moved or made noises in uneasiness and it didn't take him more than a few seconds to realize how uncomfortable she was in that dress.
Grusha's POV: "Sir, this is the latest collection that we have." The girl who I recognized to be the one who was here earlier said, hoping to take his eyes away from me but to no avail as I could see him stretching his hand out for her to place a dress on while still keeping his gaze on me. I peeked at the girl before me slightly lifting my head to see her awkwardly placing a dress on his hand. I let my gaze follow her hand to see the dress which Damien is now holding. It was a yellow color floral short dress which was too short for my liking. I turned my head to see him inspecting the dress only to hear someone calling out for me. "Madam, please try these on." I snapped my head to see, it was Luca carrying a box while the girl beside him had a couple of boxes on her hands, covering her face from me. Luca didn't wait for my approval and crouched down in front of me while opening the box and taking out a pair of sandals. I turned around to take a look at Damien to see him taking dr
