ALESSIA’S POV
Throughout the drive to Lucas’s wedding, I was feeling like shit for some reason, I have no idea about.
Maybe because today was supposed to be our wedding, but instead of going as a bride, I had to go as a guest. Ridiculous, isn’t it?
” Stop biting on your lips if you don’t want me to kiss the fuck out of them.” Cassius’s low and menacing voice dragged me out of my thoughts.
” I just can’t stop it.” I replied, almost biting my lips again, but Cassius was fast enough to place his thumb against my lips, stopping me from biting it once again.
I sighed and leaned on the leather chair.
” If you’re nervous, why not return home?” Cassius asked, pressing away on his home with his right hand, while his left hand remained on my lips.
” I won’t be able to sleep if I don’t attend the wedding.” I shut my eyes, and continued. ” This is my only way of getting revenge. With you as my fake boyfriend, Rachel would go mad and Lucas will get jealous for sure.”
” So, are you using me as a tool. for revenge?” Cassius shifted his gaze from his phone to my face, with a deadly smirk tugging at the corners of his lips.
” Well, it was a deal, and I already met my own part of the deal, left with yours.” I replied and looked away.
” Do you think this is the end?” He suddenly asked after a few seconds of silence.
I didn’t know how to reply or what reply should be given to him.
I knew this wasn’t the end for Cassius. He would go to any fucking length to make me his, even against my will.
But yet, I didn’t want to admit it so easily. ” Yes of course. You’ve fucked me like a wild beast and you have to pretend like my fake boyfriend from today, then we go our separate ways.” I replied, still looking out of the window.
I wouldn’t dare look him in the eyes.
” You think I’m a joke, isn’t it?” He chuckled darkly, and shifted a bit closer to my ears before whispering. ” I will only leave when you kill me, but even at that, my ghost or whatever it is will linger around you and fuck you in your dreams.”
I shivered as goosebumps filled every fucking part of my body.
He did no justice to my clit, as it also throbbed, and I was sure I would be wet.
” Truth be told,” I started, summoning every courage in me to look him directly in the eyes. ” I see no reason why you will be so obsessed. You’ve gotten what you wanted, so why are you obsessed over my body?”
Cassius threw his head back in laughter.
His laughter was rich and expensive, and also very rare to see.
For me, it was the first time seeing him laugh. He either smirked, scoffed or chuckled, the one that doesn’t reach his dark eyes.
But seeing him laugh for the first time, made a small smile appear on my lips, before I was able to get control of myself.
” Who told you I was obsessed with your body, Bunny?” He asked, and I furrowed my brows.
” Aren’t you obsessed with my body? So why are you still lurking around me?” My frown deepened, and for some reason I felt offended and angry inside of me.
” Nope, I’m not obsessed with your body … . alone,” he said, dragging the last words, and I looked at him keenly, curiosity overwhelmed me. ” I’m obsessed with you, and part of you is your body which I’m also obsessed with.”
My heart fluttered and a thousand butterflies danced inside the pit of my stomach, but I was able to put them under control.
” So when will you stop obsessing over me? When you’ve used me and there’s nothing for my future husband to see in me or when I die?” I asked, but his eyes grew another shade darker.
I had no idea why he was angry, but maybe it was because of the former or the latter.
But Cassius has no concern if I were to die today. He would probably get himself another bitch to fuck, so I think why he suddenly grew angry was because of the former.
He suddenly grabbed my neck and pressed it against the leather chair, leaving me breathless and at his mercy.
” I will be your future husband, Alessia. I won’t let any man marry, not while I’m alive.” He growled, and I glared at him, my eyes turning red with tears due to the chokehold he had on me.
” And…do…you expect…me to get married to you? A monster like you? A Dark Devil?” I was able to force those words out of my mouth.
All I wanted was to anger him, to make him mad so he could walk out of my life.
” Yes, I’m a monster and a dark devil. Is it now you know that?” He smirked and let go of my neck.
I grabbed my phone to check my neck and it was all red, causing me to scowl at him.
I had to add makeup to my neck to cover the redness.
” Maybe next time, an hickey will do.” He added and continued to tap away on his phone, while I glared daggers at him.
Finally, after a thirty minute drive, we got to the venue of the wedding and alighted.
Cassius wanted to play the gentle man role and open the door for me, but I ignored him and pushed it open myself.
” Aren’t we pretending to be a couple?” He walked towards me and said, but I ignored him.
” One more step, Bunny. And I will fuck you inside that party.” He warned dangerously, and I automatically stopped walking.
I knew better than anyone else what Cassius was capable of doing, so I just had to stop.
” Good girl.” He smirked and curved his hand for me to put mine inside, and I did.
We walked into the party with Dragon and CeCe behind us.
There were many guests at the party, but once I got into the hall, the first people my eyes came in contact with were the couples.
Lucas and fucking Rachel, grinning from ear to ear like they had not betrayed me and cheated behind my back.
Once our eyes met, I tightened my hold on Cassius, and he turned to me and placed a kiss on my lips.
I had no idea why he did that, but I was grateful, because it calmed me down.
” Stay calm if you don’t want them to find out.” He said and glanced at the couples before he continued. ” I’m here beside you, so be calm.”
My heart raced at his words again, and I couldn’t help but bit my lips.
It was the first time he had kissed me, because when we had sex, he didn’t kiss me, since it wasn’t part of his rules.
” Now, Bunny. Let’s go congratulate the couples with a gift.” He said and I furrowed my brows.
” Did you bring a gift?” I asked.
” Yes of course. I’m a very wealthy man, so of course.”
He smirked and began to lead me towards the couples, whose faces were unreadable, but for Lucas, I knew he was seething with jealousy, and for Rachel, she was filled with rage.
