DARK WEDDING 1

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...
