Married To My Bully by Sakshi C (read me like a book TXT) 📗

Without further delay, I slipped my hand into his warm one. I must say I wasn't prepared for the burning Flames of desire that unfurled inside of me as soon as our skin made contact. That was the first time I touched him. He tightened his grip and pulled me up. 

My curiosity trumped my nervousness and I couldn't resist the urge of stealing a glance at him. Well, what was supposed to be a teeny tiny glance stretched into a creepy gawking. Yup, I just couldn't sweep my eyes off him as soon as they latched on his pretty face. Trust me when I say, magazines and internet pictures failed to do justice to his beauty. He was far more handsome. My gaze wandered from his chiseled jaw, plumpy lips, Roman nose, to his entrancing eyes. I felt an undeniable pull towards his steely grey orbs. They were hiding a world of their own tempting me to get lost in them. And I felt myself more than ready to yield to the temptation. 

Our wedding ceremony went just like any. I had written my wedding vows but decided against reading them here. He wasn't bringing any. 

In a flick of the tongue, my life changed. I became Mrs. Crystal Knight. Hmm.. the name has a good ring to it. 

We headed towards his car with our hands locked. The warmth of his firm hand was melting my heart. Weird flex. 

However, the journey to the hotel was not how I had expected. He didn't utter a single word. I tried to break the ice but his cold demeanor solidified the ice even more. Maybe he was nervous too.

I felt slightly disappointed when he didn't open the gate for me. He just got down and sauntered off to the hotel's entrance without so much as looking back. I climbed off and followed him. I tried to keep up with his long strides but failed abjectly. So, I stayed behind him. 

We stopped at a door with his name on it. He unlocked the door and stepped in without even throwing an eye at me. What is wrong with this guy? Not even a smile. Or even a glance of acknowledgment. 

Weighing my options which were either step in the room or step in the room. I decided to step in the room. 

An enticing scent of lavender welcomed us. My sour mood immediately got better and a smile flickered on my lips. I love lavender and its scent. 

I strode further into the room, filling my lungs with this aromatic air. Not only the air of the room was heart pleasing but the interior of the room itself was a feast to the eye too. 

My concentration broke when I heard a click sound. Instinctively, I turned my head around and realized that my husband had dipped out. 

I paced around the room in my wedding gown for a while. The reception was going to start anytime now and my dear husband had gone AWOL. I didn't even have his phone number. 

Utterly confused, I decided to call his mother. Much to my relief, she picked the phone after one ring only. I told her about his absence. I sensed a tinge of annoyance in her voice when she told me to keep calm. Annoyance not for me but for her son. 

After a few minutes, the door drawled open. I felt a wave of relief only to have it crushed a second later when the person who entered revealed its face. It was a woman. I rose from the bed and shot her a confused look. 

"Mam, I am Diana. I am your beautician for tonight," she greeted me with a professional smile. I smiled back and nodded in agreement. 

The woman was indeed an expert. It took her half an hour to groom me into my best self. She left after congratulating me and giving me a satisfactory smile over her work. 

For forty-five minutes I remained in the room, clueless. Alex still hadn't returned. I wondered where had he gone. My mind was still busily churning out the reasons when the door flew open commanding my attention instantly. I spun around only to come face to face with my mother-in-law. As usual, she was wearing a motherly smile. 

"You look very beautiful, crystal. I am so glad my son chose you," Her smile widened when she mentioned her son. A shade of scarlet crept over my cheek at her words. "Now, let's go downstairs. Alex is waiting for you," she added. Whereas, her first sentence made me blush the next left me disappointed. I was expecting him to take me to the reception. I could have used some warmth of his hand. Or maybe a kiss would have done the trick. 

I smiled away my disappointment and followed her into the hall where the biggest day of my life was being celebrated.
