Chapter 3 Decorated Bed

After Lily left the room , Alicia said to herself

"Mom is right , I should listen to my heart . Kyle wants to be with me and he is excited to marry me but I can't get rid of the thought of being forced into this marriage ."

At night , She went downstairs to have dinner with her parents . Samuel was a little emotional but he didn't show it and only smiled at her . They were eating in silence when Alicia looked at Samuel and asked "Dad , I want to ask you something ."

"Okay , ask ." Samuel said .

"I want to know the reason why you agreed for my marriage with Kyle ?" She asked , looking at him .

"I can't tell you the reason and it's better if you never try to know it ." Samuel said , looking away from her .

"I know that Kyle has used his own ways to make you agree . I just wanted to know from you but it's okay , I will ask him if you don't want to answer ." She said calmly .

"No , you will not ask him anything ." Samuel shouted at Alicia who wasn't able to understand this strange behaviour of her father .

At night , Alicia was not able to sleep . She was thinking about Kyle and why her stupid heart was developing feelings for him . She was also confused about whether she should ask Kyle about how he made her father agree for their wedding or not ? Will she still like him and be on good terms with him after knowing about the ways he used ? What if it's bad for her ? She was thinking hard about this thing and didn't know when she had fallen asleep .

Next day when she woke up , she saw everyone was very busy at the house preparing for her wedding . Samuel was reading the news of Kyle and Alicia's upcoming wedding in the newspaper which was the headline of the front page . One day passed quickly with all the preparations of the wedding and finally , the day of her marriage to Kyle came .

Kyle woke up with a huge smile on his face. He started getting ready for his special day . He took shower and wore a black three-piece tuxedo with white shirt underneath . He applied gel on his hair to set them and was tying his shoe laces sitting on the bed when his friend , Nick walked inside .

"So , the great Kyle Smith finally decided to get married ." Nick said .

Kyle smirked and said "It's my bedroom . You should knock before entering ."

Nick ignored him and asked "Does your parents know you're getting married ?"

"Yes and they're very excited to meet their daughter-in-law ." Kyle said and stood up from the bed .

"Daughter-in-law , dude you haven't married her yet ."

" I am going to marry her in just few hours ."

Kyle went downstairs with him . They stepped out of the villa and got into the car to reach the venue .

At Alicia's house , Samuel was busy looking for last minute preparations at the wedding reception venue . Lily was helping Alicia in getting ready with her bridesmaids . Alicia was sitting in front of a mirror dressed in her white wedding gown . Her hair tied in a beautiful bun decorated with flowers and a beautiful Tiara . She was looking really pretty .

"Alicia , I am going downstairs to take care of a few things . I will come to take you when it's time to go ." Lily said and kissed her forehead .

"Okay Mom ." Alicia looked at herself in the mirror . She was looking pretty . Like every bride, she has dreamed of being the happiest bride on her big day but she wasn't feeling happy as she felt something was missing inside her .

At the wedding reception venue , guests begin to arrive . Kyle reached the venue with Nick . He met Samuel and stood at the altar with Nick. Alicia reached the venue with Lily . Samuel

went near her and held her hand . He kissed her forehead and said "My princess is looking really pretty ."

Alicia started walking towards the Altar . Samuel was holding her hand . When they reached the Altar, where Kyle was standing , Samuel placed her soft hand in Kyle's hand and went to sit beside Lily . Alicia's face was covered with a veil but Kyle was still able to see her face through it . The priest started the ceremony . Soon , they finished their vows and exchanged the rings . The priest asked Kyle to kiss the bride .

Kyle smiled and took a step closer to her . He slowly lifted her veil and looked into her deep blue ocean eyes . He smiled and pressed his lips to hers, kissing her softly . Everyone cheered for them . When he broke the kiss , he saw a tear at the corner of her eyes . He quickly wiped it off with his thumb . The priest pronounced them as husband and wife . Lily and Samuel were a little bit emotional but also happy for their daughter .

"Congratulations , brother and sister-in-law ." Nick said and hugged Kyle .

"Thank you , Nick ." He looked at Alicia and said introducing her to Nick "He is Nick , my bestfriend ."

"Hello , Thanks for coming ." Alicia said in her soft voice .

Kyle held her hand and started walking outside where the wedding reception was held . Kyle went to talk about something with Samuel , leaving her with Lily .

"I hope you will never tell her anything ." Samuel said .

"What if I do tell her everything ? Will you stop me ?" Kyle asked with a smirk on his face .

"I will take Alicia away from you ."

Kyle looked at him with his piercing gaze "Don't even think about it otherwise I will not only tell her everything but I will also make you pay for everything you did ."

.......

"Alicia , Are you happy ?" Lily asked her .

"I am happy mom . Just a little emotional too because I have to leave you ." Alicia said and Lily smiled touching her cheek .

Alicia's friend , Livia came to her and said "Congratulations Alicia . I can't believe you're Kyle Smith's wife now . You're so lucky ."

Alicia was not excited about this but still smiled and said "Thank you ."

Suddenly , Alicia felt a touch of hand on her waist . She looked at her side and saw Kyle . He kissed her cheek and whispered in her ear "You're looking much more gorgeous than I had imagined . "

"You're really very lucky Alicia . He loves you so much ." Livia said excitedly .

"Yes, I love her more than I love myself ." He said and started talking with Livia . Alicia was silently listening to their conversation .

"Now if you allow me , I would like to dance with my beautiful wife ." Kyle said and held her hand as they both walked towards the dance floor . They both were moving to the music as Kyle was holding her one hand with his other hand on her waist . They both were looking in each other's eyes . After the reception ended with all the celebration , they were ready to leave . Alicia stepped forward and hugged her father . Later , she hugged Lily and said "Take care of yourself."

The reporters were taking their photographs as they were walking out of the venue to get into the car that was waiting for them. The driver started driving . Alicia's gaze was shifted to the outside world . She was nervous thinking about her new life , which she is going to start with Kyle . Will it be full of love as she has dreamed ? Will she have a happy family with Kyle or will this be just a forced marriage without any love between them ?

As she was thinking about this all , Kyle held her hand and smiled at her . She looked at him like she wanted to say something to him but words were stuck somewhere in her throat . She didn't say anything and continued looking outside the car window .

After some time , she started feeling sleepy . Seeing her falling asleep , Kyle carefully placed her head on his shoulder and wrapped his arm around her shoulder kissing the crown of her head . He was looking at her with his eyes full of love through the drive to his Villa .

It was almost night when they reached home . Soon , their car entered the huge iron gate and stopped in front of a huge white villa . Kyle looked at Alicia , who was sleeping peacefully on his shoulder . Kyle didn't want to wake her up but he had to wake her up . Kyle touched her soft cheek with his right hand and said " Alicia , wake up . We are home ."

She opened her eyes slowly and looked at Kyle's handsome face . They both stepped out of the car .

Kyle held her hand and started walking towards the villa . They both entered the villa and Alicia was really surprised looking at the white walls of the living room and interiors. Everything was looking beautiful .

A woman came out of the kitchen .

"Congratulations , Master . I am very happy for you . " She congratulated Kyle with a huge smile on her face .

"Thank you ." Kyle said to her and then turned to look at Alicia and said " This is Mrs . Ferguson , the housekeeper ."

"Master , your bride is very pretty ."

"Yes , She is ." Kyle said, looking at Alicia lovingly .

"Mrs . Ferguson , show her the room ."

"Yes , Master ."

Kyle whispered in Alicia's ear " I have to make an important phone call . Wait for me to come before changing the gown." Alicia's cheeks turned red as she saw Kyle walking towards a room .

"Come , Mrs. Smith . I will show you the room ."

They went upstairs and Mrs . Ferguson opened the door of Kyle's room . Alicia stepped inside the room and looked around . The room was also painted in white like the living room and looked like it had been redecorated as there were lots of things which Alicia could relate to as a newly married . Although the room was painted white but those things were making the room beautiful . The whole room was decorated with scented candles . While observing the room , her gaze stopped at the king size bed in the middle of the room . The bed was beautifully decorated with rose petals . Alicia's heart picked race looking at the bed .

Kyle was inside his study talking with someone .

"Did you find anything about the person ?" Kyle asked to the person on the other side .

"I am trying my best sir but it's hard to find him ." The person replied .

Kyle disconnected the call without replying . He slammed his fist hard on the table in anger .
