Autumn POV

As I walked down the aisle, my father held my hand tightly not because of love or affection but as a warning.

"Don't mess up anything or you know what I can do."

He whispered in my ear. I could see my brother Shawn laughing at this.

I didn't say anything and just went to the flow of steps as my father led me. And then I was left in front of my husband.

I saw him. His eyes were cold and sharp. He looked handsome. His black hair and the commander uniform made him stand out.

He took my hand which was rough. His touch has sent me a sign. He wasn't interested in me.

The wedding proceeded. He put the ring on my hand. It was forceful. I know he wasn't really interested in me or the marriage.

When the priest told us to kiss. He kissed my cheek and left.

He really left without saying a word for his new bride.

People whispered but I don't really care. No one really cared for me anyway, and I knew he wasn't an exception either.

I was taken to our room. OUR? I mocked myself. There isn't even an US.

I bathed and then lay on the bed.

"It's tiring"

I unconsciously mumbled.

"What's so tiring?"

A deep and cold voice echoed in the room.

I was a bit surprised.

I opened my eyes as I saw a large figure hovering over me as I lay on the bed.

And there he was my husband.

Commander Arden Catz

I sat up.

"Nothing"

He chuckled darkly.

"Oh it's nice there's nothing to be worried about"

He looked at him. His eyes filled with disgust and hatred.

"You look just like your father. Vicious and unkind. I guess you are a snake just him, him aren't you? Miss Autumn Fox?"

He spat with disgust. He implied highly on the word Fox.

So he doesn't even consider me his wife?

He just sees me as the daughter of a vicious man. But he doesn't even know what I have gone through the hands of that man and his son and my brother.

"So you only hate me because I am his daughter? Because I look like him?"

My voice is neutral. I can't show emotion to a man who doesn't even consider me his wife.

"I have a lot more reasons to hate you because of you I can't even be with the person I love. Because of you......Why did you have to come to my life? Why does your father have to play dirty politics? Why did my father have to make me marry you? Why?"

His voice sounded hurt. So he loved someone else? H….. That's why he is so angry. He is just someone stuck between everything. I couldn't say anything.

"It was enough for me to only see her by the sides,, but now I can't even do that. Because I have to take your responsibility... F**k"

He sounded frustrated.

My eyes lingered on him.

One sided love surely hurts.
