1416 Words
Noah’s POV Layla walked up to me with a devious smile on her face. Her dark,brown long hair, cascading down her back,she was in the red dress I bought her on the night I proposed to her. How she made every little thing she wears become sexy was one thing that made me crazy for her. "Congratulations Noah on your wedding, beautiful bride, I must confess." she said looking at Scarlet from top to bottom while she was greeting our guest. "Thanks, I know,it is obvious." I said with every muscles in my jaws contrasting in anger. "Not really, you know,no one can have you like I did, no one can satisfy that hunger in you the way I do." she said seductively brushing her lips on mine. This made me groan at how my body still reacts to her every touch, how somewhere inside me wanted to take her right here right now and hear her moan the way she used to,but then the memory of what she did made me regain my senses and whatever lust there was disappeared and was replace with that hatred that had consumed me once before. "Oh you got that wrong Layla, she satisfies me much more than you ever did." I said holding her wrists so tightly that I was sure I’d leave bruises when I let go of her. “You bastard, you actually think you can leave me for another woman? I am Layla Alonso and nobody does that to me and you won't do that to me! Cause you still love me!" She said in bitter tears and anger. "Oh darling, you have lost me,way long ago." I said and left to join the crowd of people. I looked round the hall in search of Scarlet but she was nowhere to be seen. I saw Rachel dancing with her so called boyfriend that I will never accept into our family. Rachel said she saw her went to the rest room. After few minutes of waiting i finally saw Scarlet talking with one of my friends. "Scarlet." My voice barely a whisper but what surprised me was, she heard me and turned immediately to look at me. "Oh sorry Rachel informed me that you were looking for me few minutes ago,I saw you talking with a lady so I used that as an opportunity to use the guest room before it would be time for us to take pictures, I am sorry if I stressed you." Scarlet said apologizing. And without thinking, I Instantly pulled her to me and kissed her, I need to taste her again. The kiss, It was hungry and demanding. I shoved my tongue into her mouth, wanting to claim every inch of it. I felt her still, wasn’t responding and kissing me back. I guess it’s due to the shock of what i was doing. What am I doing? I was about to let her go when she snuggled more into my arms and immediately started kissing me back. Ignoring the fact that we still have audience, I was groaning. In a way, I can’t get enough of her. Her lips tasted so sweet but deep down inside me, I wasn’t imagining a girl in a white wedding gown, I was imagining a brunette in a red short gown. I pulled away immediately, and allowed the poor girl who was my bride to catch her breath, everyone in the room cheered and clapped for how sweet they thought our love was. "let's go now shall we?" I asked a startled, blushing Scarlet. Before leaving, I made sure I said good bye to my ex fiancée, just to see her expression and please myself. "Thanks for coming, I really appreciate." I said with a smirk on my face to Layla as I brought my hand forward for a shake. "Oh Noah, I knew who that kiss was meant for, I know that hungry kiss wasn’t for your beautiful bride, but you do know giving it to someone else makes it horrible to look at. I would get you back from that b***h I promise." Layla said with hatred in every word that she spoke. "Thank you." I said to her still smirking as I took my leave. I took my bride’s hands in mine and off to the car while everyone waved us goodbye as we were supposed to be going for our honeymoon. The car ride was a very silent one and I hardly pay attention to the girl beside me. "why did you kiss me that way?, to make that lady jealous?” Scarlet voice sounded, out of the quiet car. I turned to look at her, her eyes hoping that what she heard Layla said wasn't true. "You are smart." I said simply. "How could you do that to me?, am I some toy you use as you please?" Scarlet said while trying to stop the tears in her eyes from falling. "Cause you are my wife and I can kiss you whenever and however I want." I said. "Sure, you know what, I don't want to have this conversation anymore." Scarlet said. I could see that she was fighting with every bone in her body not to cry in front of me. I absolutely have no idea why this would bother her, besides this is a contract marriage, no strings attached but why did it hurt her so much, to see him with another woman. Did she come into this with her heart and left her head behind? I badly want to ask her. I thought she’s smarter than that. "Layla Alonso,that's the name of the woman you saw me with,she was my ex fiancée, nothing to worry about.” I said to her but not looking at her. I couldn't look at her or else I might change my mind. She had this thing about her that could melt a cold heart, even tho she ended the discussion, I knew she was hurt. At first I didn't care but then the image of her in tears came flashing in my mind and I couldn't stand it,so I explained. She seemed surprised that I was explaining to her. I could be a complicated human being and also a very scary one but I never knew I could be a caring one towards one of my employees, who happened to be my newly wed. Finally the car stopped and I got down, I went over to her door and pulled it open for her. She said a little thank you to me but her gaze was shifted and was surprised at the view in front of her. "Welcome to the knights mansion Mrs knight." A man in tuxedos greeted scarlet and bowed a little. I was still by the car, watching her take the mansion in, almost drooling. I made sure I was far behind, I want her to feel comfortable gawking at her new home. I watch Aaron show her the mansion. "This is where he lives?" She asked, but by the look on her face, the words seem to just flew out of her mouth without her knowledge. "Yes ma'am and where you would both live, I am Aaron if I dare introduced myself." "Scarlet." She said, with a little smile. "Please come in ma'am." "Thank you." Scarlet said. "All your belongings are in your room, the second masters bedroom next to the masters bedroom. what would you like to have?" "Oh don't bother I am ok." She said a bit sheepishly. "If you insist. Monica here would show you to your room, and congratulations ma’am." "Thank you." She said blushing. When she entered her room, I saw that she was marveled at the sight of it, it was like that of a Queen everything had gold in it. "Here we are, if you need anything else please let me know." An elderly woman in her late fifties said. "Oh no I am ok…….but where is Noah?" I heard her ask as I am already by the door to my study,but I can somehow comprehend their muffled voices. "In his study ma'am." Monica said. "Okay thank you so much." Scarlet said. "You are welcome and please feel at home, and congratulations on your wedding." Monica said and I assume she said that with a motherly smile like she usually does. "Thanks." Scarlet said. I heard the door closed and I finally made my way into my study.
