Married To A Powerful Domineering Billionaire

Suddenly Married

“You should learn to eat more, you’d be needing a lot of strength to carry my weight.” He said and winked at me. My heart began to race stupidly. I looked away from his smirking face and pinned my eyes to the food in front of me. Picking up the fork from my side, I rolled some spaghetti and took a bite, my stomach growling in excitement. I hadn’t realized I was so hungry. In a few minutes, I had devoured the meal in front of me. It surprised me, knowing that I wasn’t the type to eat much. Guess I really had been so hungry. After all, it was my first meal since the day began. I glanced over at the stranger and my face turned red with embarrassment when I saw him staring at me questioningly.

“I haven’t had anything to eat all day,” I said, defending myself. But he didn’t say anything, instead, he dished some more food onto my plate.

“Thank you,” I muttered to him and he nodded before picking up his spoon.

“We will be going to the registry tomorrow morning.” I heard him say and instantly, my entire being froze. So I would really be getting married to him? A man I knew nothing about.

Tears pricked at the sides of my eyes. The urge to cry was there, but I nodded in agreement. That was all I could do, agree. I couldn’t say no, for my own good. I quickly lost my appetite, and the food which had smelled so nice earlier suddenly smells sour.

I reached for the glass at the center of the table but before I could get it, Mr. Strange took it. He poured in some water and then handed it to me.

I collected the glass of water from him and downed it as if I had been starved of water for years. And then when I dropped the glass, I got up from the dining.Text property © Nôvel(D)ra/ma.Org.

“I’m full.” I wanted to be out of his presence already and that too, as quickly as possible. I wanted to be alone, I could feel tears, an ocean of it welling up at the back of my eyes. My heart hurt and I felt nauseous.

Mr. Stranger immediately got up. “Let me show you to your room.” He said and walked ahead of me, leading me through the stairs.

We walked back to the hallway where his room was. Then he opened a door adjacent to his and as he led me in, my mouth dropped in surprise.

The room was huge, twice the size of mine back in my apartment, and had been decorated with purple all around. I looked around and momentarily, I forgot the urge to cry. This is the reason he asked for my favorite color.

“Do you like it?” I heard him ask and I turned around to look at him.

“Mm-hm.” I nodded and saw him smile. “Thank you,” I said.

He nodded at me.

ERIC’s POV

She lost her appetite immediately after I told her about our appointment at the registry the following day. I know she did, and I also know she wanted to cry. Her eyes were already beginning to turn red. She got up and told me she was done. I could sense that the marriage topic was making her anxious so I didn’t push her. I pushed the plate of food in front of me away and then walked her upstairs. When I opened the room I had asked the maids to prepare for her, I was stunned myself. The room was bright and beautiful. I hadn’t thought this color would amount to any good but it seemed I was wrong.

I turned to Rayne and saw her sad face lit up as she stared with glowing eyes around the room. Her small lips were parted open and it was evident in her behavior that she liked the decor. I watched her excited face and I felt satisfied with the effort put toward the decorations. Watching her sad face being replaced with a smile, I couldn’t help but smile at myself.

“Do you like it?” I asked and she turned to me, nodding with a bright smile that gladdened my heart.

“Thank you.” She added quietly and I couldn’t help but stare at her small lips.

I showed her around the room before leaving her to get some rest. She would be needing a lot of it for tomorrow.

RAYNE’S POV

“Get some rest.” He told me after showing me around the room.

As soon as he left, I slumped on the purple sheets and the wool material welcomed my skin. I looked at the ceiling and smiled. ‘He didn’t need to go the extra mile’ I sighed. Nevertheless, I liked it. I rolled out of the bed and excitedly rushed into the bathroom he had shown me.

It was beautiful and comfortable. I had always wished to have a jacuzzi and now, I have one. I was going to make sure to sleep in it all day. I opened the wardrobe opposite the head of the bed and saw that my boxes had been fitted into it. I shut the door closed and strolled into the bathroom. There, I lay in the jacuzzi feeling, letting the cold water calm my skin and nerves, and only stepping out when the water had turned hot.

I picked out a nightwear from my box and put it on after creaming my skin.

‘we are going to the registry tomorrow.’ Those words resonated at the back of my mind and my heart was once again clouded with the emotions from earlier.

I folded myself up on the bed and sobbed silently till I fell asleep.

Morning.

In my sleep, I could hear distinct sauntering of feet and people talking. I blinked awake at the disturbance and rubbed my eyes to clarity and was surprised to find people in the room. A few maids were rolling in a rack of beautiful dresses from different designers and I couldn’t help but wonder what was going on.
