Everyone gathered, rose to welcome me in. The new bride. Like every other little girl, I imagined getting married on a beach like this, where the reflection of the evening sun would touch my white dress as I stared at the man I love.

We'd make our vows to each other before everyone present and confess our love for each other. But all of these dreams died with Dalton.

Tonight I was getting married to someone I hate. Someone I would never love in a million years. Someone I would never be with even if he is the last man in the world.

Max had a knowing smile on that lips of his. He looked like the happiest person in the building, while I'm being forced to be his. I've tried to run away, but father was 10 steps ahead of me. He really wants me to be married to this man for business.

"I'm fraye Fallon, I'm 20 years old, I'm a school drop out and the useless child of the Fallon family as my step mother would always say.

She mother smiled on seeing me match to the alter, it's probably the first time I've seen her smile at me. So did Genevieve, my sweet step sister, the one who initiated this whole idea about marriage to save our family.

Since a child mother has always preffered her to me and it's understandable cause she was her daughter and I am the daughter of the first wife. Father had divorced mother for infidelity when I was three and he got married to another woman taking me with him.

At first, my step mum loved me like hers, but when she had her daughter she hated me. She said I bahaved too razz to be a Fallon.

Once I was close to where Max stood I gave my flower to Genevieve to see max stretch his hands towards me but I didn't take it. I rather went ahead to stand before the priest ignoring him completely.

"You look so beautiful." He whispered but I ignored him again.

"We are gathered here in the holy matrimony of our beloved children, Max Gunner and Fraye Fallon." The preist began the ceremony.

"GUNNER!!

A loud deep voice called from behind and everyone turned to see a man in black suit walk in. He had six large men tailing behind him as he walked towards the alter.

He was tall, with broad shoulders and thick black hair. He had a commanding presence, and looked super dangerous.

Murmurs began among the crowd, I could see the dreadful look on everyone's face including my parents and Max Gunner before me. Max was trembling and suddenly a wet stain showed on his brown pants.

Did Max just pee?

"M... Mr Grey." Max called shaking like a child that is caught doing something wrong.

"Where's my money?" The scary man asked now standing before him.

"I... I... I... I." He couldn't form a sentence and a punch landed on his stomach. Max's face contoured and he fell on the floor curling himself like a ball.

"Where the f**k is my money Gunner. I've given you grace for too long." A heavy kick landed at Max's back by one of the hefty men and another grabbed him and raised him up for the other one to Punch him badly.

Screams were heard coming from the people but the other four men went ahead to make them keep quiet.

At some point I closed my eyes just standing at a spot not wanting to see them deal with Max. A part of me was happy my wedding has been disrupted. There's no way Max will want to get married to me in this state.

But a part of me felt pity for him. The beating was too much on him. "Let him go that's enough." I had no idea when those words slipped out of my mouth but I regretted the minute it came out cause the eyes of the dark man just turned to me.

The scary man suddenly grabbed me by the arms yanking me to himself then turned back to Max.

"Did you use my money to woo her?" He held the back of my neck as he spoke. Max didn't say a thing, he was already badly beaten with blood all over his body.

His eyes, cheeks and lips were all swollen. I almost puked staring at him.

"Let me go you're hurting me." I struggled to free myself from his grip and I succeeded and tried running away but two gigantic men blocked my veiw forcing me back to stand next to the scary man on the alter.

"A fierce little woman with big wide mouth." I didn't know if that was a complement or an insult but the scary man held the back of my neck forcing me to stand with him.

"Well since you don't have what I want. I'll take what's yours." He pushed me forward with a sinister look on his face.

"Join us." He commanded and the preist quickly picked his bible. My eyes widened, Heart palpitating so fast. I was scared to wits.

No, there's no way I want to be married to this man. I shook my head.

"You're not my husband, I don't want to be married to you." I tried getting out of his grip but he held me still.

"Shut up darling you're mine now. Continue." He said to the priest.

The huge men went among the crowd to put everyone back in other.

I turned to look at mother who stared at me pitifully before looking down. No one dared look at him or try to stop him. Not even father who claims to be the king of the city.

I couldn't believe I was going to be married to the devil. I had celebrated when Max was badly beaten but who knew this would be my fate?

"Is there anyone in the crowd who wouldn't want the union to hold? Speak now or forever hold your peace." The priest asked but no one dared speak. I turned to look at my parents and they all had their heads bent down, no one dared look at us.

"Alright since there's no one. By the power vested in me I hereby pronounce you man and wife." The huge men where the only ones clapping and then they forced the others to clap too.

The scary devil grabbed my chin and kissed me harshly, "Look Gunner I'm kissing your woman and I'm going to make her mine tonight." He said kissing me again. This time more ferocious than the former as he sucked all of the air from my lungs.

I grabbed his shirt gasping for air as tears fell from the corners of my eyes.

He grabbed my hair immediately, dragging me towards his car. "Bring Gunner along I want him to see me F**k his b*tch before I kill him." He threw me inside the car and the chauffeur drove off...

AUTHOR'S POV

Once Lukas arrived back at home, he dragged the woman he just married into his bedroom. She hasn't stopped biting and slapping his hands since he took her away. This woman was really a pain in the ass. Maybe if he taught her a little lesson, just one small lesson she would listen.

A woman that had dared to command him to stop beating her little boyfriend was really interesting. Considering she was so fragile and soft but have a big wide mouth. He stared at his aching fingers to see the little bruise marks on his hands. Then his eyes shifted to the girl on his bed.

She looked more like a little powerless cat trying to defend it'self from the big bad wolf. He smiled.

"Stay away from me I'm warning you, you bastard." She held his night lamp in her hands in defence and he chuckled.

"That cannot save you from me darling." He grabbed her feet dragging her to himself as he slapped the lamp from her hands only for it to shatter on the floor.

Fraye was no match for Lukas's strength, even she knew she couldn't fight him but she would do anything to protect herself from him.

This was all a mistake. She's not meant to be married to him or anyone, he has the wrong person. She didn't even know what Max looked like till today at the alter. She has no business with their transaction, her father does. He's the one aware of everything.

"Master isn't letting her go tonight. I'm afraid she might not be able to walk for a week." A servant smiled to another smacked her head.

"Shhhh. Don't let anyone hear you. I heard she will be our new madam so it's best we give her same respect as master no matter what." She said pushing her younger one forward. They had both heard the clashing of glass as they walked through their masters bedroom. It meant two things. Either their master and madam were in a heated argument or they were having a rough sex.

But they hoped whatever it was, this new madam would last and might return their master to who he used to be.

Lukas has never brought a woman home before. Fraye would be the first which had shocked them greatly but after finding out he married her for revenge and might probably kill her when he's done. They didn't put much hope. But somehow they still prayed this would last.

Lukas watched the tiny woman struggle beneath him and he let out a throaty laugh. It's been so long since something has amused him this much but this woman seemed entertaining.

"I should have f**ked you before your lover but that man doesn't look like one that would wake up tonight. We can't wait for him now can we darling?" He asked.

"P... Please don't do this please." He frowned at her plea turning more impatient.

"You should have pleaded to him to give me back my money when you had the chance to."

Lukas forcefully tore her clothes leaving her cleavage dangling to his amusement. The little woman was indeed a beautiful woman, he would have enjoyed this torture if he was doing this before Max. But nevertheless, he had everything going on right on camera he can just play it and force the man to watch.

"This is a mistake please let me go. You've got the wrong person." Fraye pleaded.

This was so embarrassing even for her. This man was willing to have sex with her against her will. She pleaded and pleaded but Lukas didn't seem like one that would listen. He spread her legs and slid two fingers in.

He furrowed his brows taking his hands out of her immediately.

"F*CK! Lukas cussed out getting out of bed and Fraye drew the sheets over her bare body.

"Why are you a virgin?" He asked disdainfully and Fraye didn't know what to say. Was being a virgin a bad thing?

She recalled asking Dalton her ex to do her but he kept saying she wasn't of age to. Just when she turned of age, he faked his death and left. Fraye was so heartbroken that she couldn't move on from her first love. She rejected and turned down every man that came after Dalton.

When she found him a year later alive and married to a new girl, Fraye felt like dying. She was more heartbroken again and to this very day she hasn't recovered yet.

She was scared of being broken twice that's why it's so hard to open her heart to another man. But this man here is ridiculing her for being a virgin?

"I... I." She bit her lips. She really had no answer for him.

"Get cleaned and go to bed." Lukas stepped out of the room after his words leaving Fraye alone in the bedroom.

Fraye quickly got up after the beast had left, with tears filled eyes she dashed into the bathroom to clean up. She felt defiled.

She never thought she could despise anyone as much as she did this man now.

"Fool!" She yelled.

"Bloody imbecile." She cussed out smashing her palm against the wall. She would kill him she swore.

Lukas returned to his study after his little play with the little woman. Marraige was the last thing he had on his mind today but who knew he would make such brisk decision without thinking.

He had intended to punish Max but that is the most ridiculous thing to do. He could have just carried her rather than marrying her, what was he thinking?

A knock was immediately heard on his door and, "Come in Bale." His deep voice could be heard from outside the room.

Bale Garret took in deep breaths before stepping into this room.

The first time he applied to be this man's assistant he had heard tales, deadly tales about how the other assistants died from one minor mistake and had been scared. Because of these rumors Bale was determined to live and had stubbornly worked for the man.

Outside here, Lukas Is seen as a multi billionaire and business tycoon, but in here he is the king of the underworld. Merciless and cruel to the last.

Bale wouldn't believe any of the rumors if he hadn't seen this man turn into the devil himself in the blink of an eye. He had come to this city and had dethrowned the former lord in less than 24hours shocking everyone.

"What are you doing standing by the door Bale, come here." Lukas called, his dark eyes having a bit of silver in it as it shown under the moon light.

There was total darkness in the room except the light coming from the window, just how he likes it and it made it hard for Bale to spot him. All he could make out was a dark shadow sitting close to the window where the moon shown and the deep voice reverberating in the room. Bale gulped.

"Master Delcrov I think we made a huge mistake with the madam." Lukas clicked his jaw at the man's words...
