My Heartless husband

2.Why Me?

It was time for our vows and I did not write anything. Why should I? I did not want to marry this man. I don't even know this man. He also did not write any vows, and we just said the parts about death do us part blah blah blah. I think I blacked out for a bit because I heard someone say my name. "Emmy". I looked up at the priest. "Sorry what was the question?" and I could see my soon-to-be husband was not happy. "Do you take Noah Brooks as your husband?" he asked, and I looked at Noah. He is frowning, and then I whisper "yes". Soon it was over, and the priest said "I now, pronounce you husband and wife. You may kiss your bride". I stood frozen. I did not want to kiss this man, and he leaned in and kissed my cheek, and then he whispered, "You belong to me now, Emmy, so we will have to teach you some manners." I was shocked. Who does he think he is? I am not a child. He cannot treat me like one. Everybody was cheering, and we walked out of the hall hand in hand. As soon as we were alone, I pulled my hand away, and he looked at me frowning. "You have a very bad attitude, and you will learn to behave." he said, and I looked up at him. "Who do you think you are? I am not a child. You cannot treat me like one." I said, folding my arms and just before he could say anything, the guest came out and congratulated us. I put on a fake smile and Noah led me to a garden. It was beautifully decorated, and I walked straight to a waiter standing with Champaign and I took one and down it.

Just as I was about to take another one, Noah took it out of my hand, glaring at me, "What is your problem?" I asked him, and he smiled. He had no emotions behind that smile or his eyes. "I cannot let my wife get drunk on our wedding day" he said, drinking the champagne. We took our seats, and it was awkward. It was only his friends and family and I assumed business partners. I was not listening to half of the speeches, just wishing this day would end. We did the first dance and the cake cutting, and then we posed for photos. Why did he want photos of this day? I would never want to remember this day. Noah was busy talking to some men and I stood eating some fruits when a handsome man with blond hair and green eyes came and stood next to me. "So, Emmy, how much did my brother pay you to get married?" he asked, and I saw the resemblance now, he is Noah's brother. "What makes you think he paid me?" I ask taking more champing from a waiter. He started laughing, and then he said, "Who will marry my brother willingly?" and I also burst out laughing. "I am Adam Brooks, nice to meet you." he said and I shook his hand. "Nice to meet you too." I said and we were quiet.

"So, Emmy, what do you do for a living?" and I smiled. He was the first person who actually asked me a question about myself. "I was going to study to become a writer, I love books and writing." I said and he frowned. "Why are you not going to study it anymore?" he asked, and I shake my head, "My father can't afford it and I do not want to ask Noah for the money." I say, and he nods before he can say anything else Noah came and put his hand on my lower back, I was uncomfortable with him touching me. "I see you met my brother?" he says looking at me and I nod, they were total opposite not just in looks but definitely in personality, Noah was like a bad thunderstorm and Adam like a ray of sunshine. "Well it was nice meeting you Emmy, I will see you around" he says winking at me and I smiled. "You will stay away from my brother" Noah said as soon as his brother left. I looked up at him and frowned, "You can't tell me what to do." I said, getting pissed off at his demanding statements. He grabs me by my arm and pulls me into the house where no one can see me and into an empty room.

''I will only tell you once, Emmy, and you will listen. I am a man that does not like to be disobeyed, and I am getting exhausted of you thinking you can talk to me just like you want. In this marriage you will do as you are told, and you will shut the f**k up!' he shouted, looking at me and I could see anger in his eyes. I was scared of this man in front of me and I did not know what to do. ''Tell me one thing, and then I will become the obedient little wife you want. Why me? Why did you pick me to marry you?'' He looked at me, his hands in his pockets, and then he walked closer and closer. I stepped back until my back was against the wall. He grabs my chin and I look up at him. ''Your dad owned me a lot of money and I wanted you. I know you are pure Emmy, untouched. That is why I wanted you. No man will ever be able to touch you, just me darling, so get used to it'' and then he kissed me. I did not kiss him back. I was shocked, he left the room and I finally breathed again, not realizing I was holding my breath. So he wanted me because I am a virgin? This can't be. If he thinks I will sleep with him, he can think again. I thought, and I also left the room and walked to the table and sat down.

I did not talk to anyone the rest of the day and when night came, I asked Noah if we could please leave. I was tired, and I just wanted to be alone. We left in a black limo and I just looked out of the window. Noah did not talk to me, and I was glad I did not have the energy to talk to him. We arrived at a massive mansion and Jerome opened the door for me. I thanked him and followed Noah inside the house. I looked around because this place was so big. Noah took my hand, and he showed me where the kitchen was, the living room, the sitting room, his office, and then our bedroom. I looked up at him and asked, ''Are we sharing a room?'' he nodded and said ''What did you think I would let my wife sleep in one room and I would sleep here?'' he asked, and I did not answer him. I walked into the room, and he was leaning against the door frame,''That one there is your closet and the door over there is the bathroom. I hope I have got you all the stuff you will need otherwise you can get it tomorrow'' he said, and I just nodded, opening the closet. It was a big walk in the closet and there were more clothes than I asked.'' Can I please go to bed now?'' I asked him and he frowned. He walked closer to me and I looked up when he stood in front of me. "Emmy, you do not need permission for anything, all I ask is that you behave and treat me like your husband." he said, and I nodded, walking to the bathroom to get ready for bed.
