Flashback

Currently I am sitting in 'sweetheart' cafe waiting for my soon to be husband, As today early in the morning 'Mrs.Grey' call me to inform that, she set a meeting with his son to us get to know each other,

I am nervous would be understatement because I had never meet a guy before like this, yes I have few male friend but that's all work related not like this, A husband to be,

Since 30 min I am seating over here anxiety is creeping out of me , I'm continue torturing my bottom lips with my teeth and tapping my right foot on ground this is my worst habit of mine since childhood, whenever I got nervous I go autopilot mode to do this non stop,

he is Late! which scared the shit out me because of my anxiety, What is wrong with him isn't a business should be punctual, ufff he might be busy in his work,

yeah right he might be busy, I should wait little more then, if he doesn't shown up then, I will be take my leave 'Uncle Matt' would be waiting for me.

Till then I make myself busy in reading novels after quite few minutes I heard throat clearing voice by my side, I look up from my phone to look who is the owner of the noise just then I saw 'HIM'.

Handsome would be understatement, he is gorgeous! He is what ever girl want, tall maybe be 6'2 He has mesmerizing gray eyes which had aura don't-mess-with-me, He had an sharp straight pointed nose with high cheekbones, and lips so perfect naturally pinkish And he had a nice built body, complete with a six pack and strong biceps which visal from his white bottom up shirt which fit perfectly his curve and black pant.

"Zoya Benson, right?" He ask,

Which snap me out of my pool of little wonderland. I clear my throat to found my voice back,

"Yeah! That's me" I replied with my best smile,

He made annoyed look and sit in front of me,

'rude' that first word came in my mind, 'All pretty face don't have pretty heart as well' my subconscious mock to me, I agree with her.

_________

'What so special about her?' The very first word came out of my mind when I first saw her,

She is a average girl, sorry correction below average girl, with little chubby cheeks, dark brown hair which shining because of ray of sunshine, light brown hazel eyes which few seconds ago wearing round glasses, button nose, pointed chin and pink lips which look juicy to taste, I don't know about her body but I am sure she have fine curve, I mentally slap myself what I am thinking about,

she is busy in her own Wonderland of phone and smiling like a fool, what make her smile like that ?

A boyfriend or anyone else, huh? But why do I care ? She is nobody to me, I don't know why mama keep on blowing up my phone to meet her, And why the heck my dad threatened me with my position just to her,

I am dame sure she is like every model whomever I slept, running behind my money A perfect gold digger,

If not because of my position I will never marry someone like her, Dame dude I am Daniel Grey, I deserve better than a gold digger.

________

He just staring at me from up and down which make me feel uneasy, I look down to hide my uncomfortable from him, After good minutes of silent he decided to break it.

"Zoya" he said,

Aww my name sound so sexy with his deep voice, 'zoya stop flattering over a guy you just meet few minutes ago composed yourself idiot' my subconscious mind scold,

I blink one twice thrice,

"Uhmmm, yeah" I replied,

"You know the condition I kept to marry you, I hope mama already told you" he said, which I responce with nod.

"So, if this marriage won't work in this one year, I have all right you to demand divorce and set myself free, And because I badly want my position of CEO, I agreed with this stupid contract, I don't know why mama and dad give you right to divorce me if you want anytime, but having partiality towards me, I can't give you divorce before 1 year" he sighed.

I just look at him, I don't have any words to explain him, should I told him the truth, 'NO' a big no I don't anyone to things that I am miserable or trying to gain sympathy.

He pull out the velvet box from his black pant and give it to me.

"What's this?" I asked him in confusion.

"Engagement ring open it and wear it by yourself, Mama insist that's why I brought it for you" he said in boring tone.

I open the box it's revel a beautiful diamond ring, indeed it is very beautiful, But I didn't imagine my engagement would be happened like this, I just lost in my thoughts of childhood, when I believe in fairytales and always imagine my prince charming proposed me on knee, smile creep on my face to realising how foolish I am back then.

_____________

See I told you she is into my money, the way she looking at ring with creepy simle and shining eyes, they all are the same gold digger I can't sit here anymore.

I just pull out my wallet paid for whatever heck she was drinking and stand up to leave.

"I may leave first" I declare and without giving second glance leave the cafe.

___________

Huh! What was that, first he came late and didn't apologize his behaviour and just leave like that, he is having something serious issue with him,

I close the box and keep it in my bag because I don't want my mom or her boyfriend to see it or else they would be stole it, then I notice few bill which he kept on the table.

'oh god what this guy think of him', anyway then I continue sipping my chocolate milkshake and take few bites of my chocolate bar to keep myself calm myself.

Because 'Only chocolate is a love that you can eat'

End of flash black

___________

When I saw him there was a flash of emotion for few seconds, which I don't know what was it, then he just mask it up with emotionless expression.

'Uncle Matt' walk me towards the stage where he was standing,

On his left standing best man 'Harry black' and 'Jack Willson' his best friend and on the right there is standing my gorgeous birde maid 'Maria Black' Harry's Wife, just few months ago they got married, she is the most beautiful I ever known I don't have anyone to ask to be my birde maid so 'mrs.grey' ask her to be one, and she happily agreed on it.

In less time we became very close to each other like we know each other from lifetime.

Uncle matt give my hand to Daniel not before telling him 'take care of her, she is very special' which he replied with nod.

What the heck with everyone telling me she is special, Okay I agree she look beautiful in wedding gown, I am about to flat all over her, If I don't know her reality.

I stolen glances from her, only to caught her staring at me, what is wrong with her?

Is something is on my face, I touch my face to conform it, then she notice my actions and look down with blush.

Gosh she is really creepy, or something definately wrong with her.

____________

I can't believe the men besides me is my way out to freedom of suffering all those years, I continue staring at him and thinking about, how life take drastic turn, I am finally going to free, I am happy really happy but little bit ten's and nervous how will I managed to keep my promise which I give to mama (Mrs.Grey).

I am busy in my thoughts suddenly Daniel start touching his face in confusion that time I realised my actions, I quickly look down in embarrassed.

Soon ceremony started I try to concentrate on it.

____________

The priest, a middle age man with rimmed glasses start the ceremony, the crowd fell silent,

"We are gathered here today to celebrate the most intimate of bonds between two people, marriage. You all have been invited here not just as guest to a wedding, but as close and important witness of the love that Daniel and Zoya share."

I was shock on the word 'love' only if they all know, I sighed and side glance at him, he is just held emotionless expression as always, I lower my eyes, take a deep breath and motive myself I can do this.

When I again look up and simle at him, then I saw his face crunched and turned scowl before turning it back to the speaking priest.

'Huh! Mr Rude, don't you really know how to smile back'

He is behaving like someone force him into this marriage at gunpoint. I roll my eyes on him.

'I am sorry god but he deserve it' I muttered under my breath.

"Do you pledge to shre your love and the joys of your marriage openly with one another, and to speak the truth in love? Do you promise to honor and tenderly care for one another, cherish and encourage each other, stand together, through sorrow and joys, hardship and triumphs for all the days of your lives?" Priest asked us,

"We do." We both muttered in unison.

The priest turned to Daniel. "Theodore, please repeat after me ...

"I Daniel, promise to love and support you Zoya and live each day with kindness, understanding, truth, humor, and passion. With this ring I wed thee."

Daniel repeated the vows and slid a diamond ring on my ring finger.

The priest then turned to me. "Zoya, please repeat after me ...

"I Zoya, promise to love and support you Daniel and live each day with kindness, understanding, truth, humor, and passion. With this ring I thee wed."

I repeated the vows and slid the platinum band on Daniel's finger.

"I now pronounce you husband and wife. You may kiss the bride." priest announced

My heart started to pound faster as soon as I heard the priest's last sentence.

All the people gathered inside the church that witnessed the ceremony were now clapping their hands and waiting for us to seal this wedding with our kiss.

I gulped and closed my eyes when he cupped both of my cheeks and a pair of lips which was owned by him, captured my 'virgin' lips. I felt the world swirled around me as the butterflies inside my stomach, started to dance with the loud beating of my heart. gripped his suit coller for support, as my kneesbuckled with this sudden feeling and sensation he's giving me through his kiss. I felt his hand around my waist slid down to my lower back. He pull back after few minutes whispered on my ear.

"I bet I was your first kiss," he said

'let's the game begin Mrs Grey' he muttered

my eyes turned wide like saucers. He smirked at my reaction.
