Married To Fury

CHAPTER FOUR

NAOMI

woke up to see myself in my room, the pain in my head struck me hard. I quickly sat up in bed and began to look around.

Everything looked different, as many unfamiliar things were arranged in my room.

Expensive-looking boxes and decorations of many sorts, my eyes fell on a shiny transparent long glass box in front of me. Inside it was a sparkling white wedding dress that looked like it had consumed all the money in the world.

I got up and walked to it, staring keenly at it, and got mesmerized.

The dress was one of a kind, I had never seen anything like it before, it had diamonds set around it decoratively.

Am I worth all things?

Why would he even want to marry me?

Why doesn't anyone care about my own choice?

What about Luis?

I am in love with Luis and he is the one I want to be with.

Thoughts of how helpless I was rushed me to my knees, and my heartbeat began to pound in a different rhythm.

The door of my room crept open, I looked up in its direction, and my eyes fell on my mum's watery eyes.

We stared at each other for quite some time before she ran over and slid in front of me, pulling me into her motherly embrace.

I burst out as it was already too much to hold in, my mother joined in and our voices echoed around the room.

My mother has always been in agony from the day she married my father.

She had been made miserable in every way possible by the monster, but I have always had a positive impact on her life.

She loves me so much and feels happy whenever we are together.

She always tells me of how I am the source of happiness in her life.

And I have always had her best interest in my heart, she made me chase after my dream of painting.

My dream revolves around her, the art collage was going to host an art challenge where every student presented their work,

The best one will receive a huge amount of money as well as an apartment.

I have worked so hard to make it to a point where even my school counselor knows how great I am.

I wanted to win this challenge so that my mother could be free from this devilish man.

But now he has succeeded in killing us inside.

He is getting me married to a ruthless man and destroying my dreams.

And he is also taking my mother's only source of happiness away from her.

“Mum… let's run away, let's go somewhere far away so that he will never find us please,” I cried, pulling out of her hands and shaking her hands hoping that would help me convince her.

She cupped my cheeks and looked deeply into my eyes, her eyes showing how helpless she was.

I shook my head and shut my eyes tightly.

“Please mum do something,” I pleaded, shaking my head from right to left, then the door opened by force. We both looked up to see him.

He was standing above us with a cheap grin on his face.

The smell of alcohol filled my room, and my mum held me closer to herself.

“This is what we have been praying for Naomi,” he said looking at the dress.

“Isn't this the type of life a youngster like you always wish for?” He couldn't take his eyes off the dress.

After some time he advanced to us and grabbed me out of my mum's hands.

“No!” my mum cried.

He pulled me to the dress and stood me firmly in front of it.

“Look at it Naomi, your father has provided the best life for you now. You will never suffer again.” He said loudly and laughed.

I looked at him and saw how happy he was,

How can this man smile at this point?

He ruined my life and here he is talking about giving me the best life.

I looked away from him and saw a knife on the table.

It wasn't far away so it will be a success if I try to grab it.

I looked back at my father and fell on my knees, killing myself would do no good to my mother.

“Please sir, don't let me get married to fury,” I begged.

The thought of being with that man drives me insane with fear and horror.

How can I be with him?

I have seen what the people under him do to people,

The horrible things they do is never a secret.

What if I do something he doesn't like?

He will kill me immediately,

And I will not get to see my mother again.

The look on his face changed as the smile vanished and was replaced by a murderous look.

“What did you say?” He asked with a devilish stare.

“Please Father, don't let me go to him,” I cried to my father but he paid absolutely no attention to me.

His eyes found my mother and he gave her a murderous stare.

“Get her prepared,” he said to my mother without sparing me a glance.

He walked out and immediately I felt my world stop, weakness dwelled in me, I became dizzy, and before I could understand what was happening I fell flat on the floor.

My mother's scream was the last thing I heard before I fell deep into a void.

LUIS

I walked into my office and fell on my chair, signing continuously. I picked up my phone and unlocked it.

Missed calls filled my phone from yesterday.

Naomi would have been so upset with me for what I did yesterday.

But I have plans to make it up to her.

I closed my eyes and a vivid image of her smiling brightly displayed on my head.

I have dreams of putting a ring on that girl's finger, to finally claim her as mine so no one could ever come close to her.

But her fear for her father beats me down every time I try to bring the matter up.

But now I will not waste any more time On her.

A strange feeling of insecurity kept arising in me as I found it hard to relax.

A young man walked in with a tablet in his hand.

“Common Leo let me rest a little,” I whined immediately as he got to me.

Leo smirked and dropped the tablet on the table.

“You're acting like your sorry-ass was the only one that worked hard,” he said, still maintaining the smirk on his face.

I sat straight, my eyes glued on the tablet that seemed to be displaying Chinese words.

“What's this, and why does it look Chinese?” I asked, looking at my best friend confusedly.

“Oh, it's your contract with Xi Jinping,”

“Ooh, the Chinese president?”

“No the England King, will you clean your eyes or borrow your secretary’s glasses if needed dude,”

I signed in frustration, I have been so deeply engrossed in my work lately that I had to turn my girlfriend down.

“Have you spoken to your girl after yesterday?” Leo's voice said all of a sudden.

“No,” I answered.

“Why not?” Leo's voice had a pinch of anger in it.

“I have a plan!” I quickly said before he could start preaching to me.

He looked at me weirdly like I had grown horns above my head.

“And what is it?” He asked.

“Well I… want to propose to her,” I said and immediately added shutting him up before he could even say anything, “Before you say something I don't plan to wed her now, I just want my ring on her finger.”

“She is just eighteen dude,” Leo said.

“I know, I just want her as mine that's all?”

“And her father?” Leo asked the question I was also asking myself when I first thought of the idea.

But Naomi was all that mattered, if she accepted my proposal the rest wouldn't matter.

I can get her out of her hellhound if she lets me. Just then a lady came in with a file.

“Oh Ria you are here,” I said and she flashed me a chirpy smile.

“Yes boss, I got all the best Diamond ring offers to show to you, there are a few ones I think you'll like,” Ria said, coming closer to me.

My eyes fell on Leo who looked like he had seen a ghost.

“You were not joking,” he whispered but I heard clearly.

I smiled and pulled closer to Ria, getting Naomi into my life would be all I wanted.

“You are beautiful,” an elderly woman who was applying my makeup complimented.

I looked focused at the mirror, and the image stared back at me.

I was already clad in the tremendous wedding dress, the person in the mirror looked so enticing but the only thing missing was the joy in it.

I always hear of how excited girls get on a day like this, I remember Daisy wishing on her birthday how she wanted her wedding to come sooner than she expected.

But that isn't me,

This is not the life I want, my phone was taken away from me to prevent me from calling anyone.

I am getting married today, and of all the men in the world I am getting married to Fury Nights.

Luis flashed into my head again.

Where is he?

Why hasn't he called all this while?

Thoughts filled my mind, I was too weak to cry or do any other thing. I just sat there like a doll.

“Is she ready?” A voice asked.

I looked at the person in the mirror and our eyes met.

It was a lady, her beauty was incredibly perfect, and she had a tall slender body shape any man would die for.

She smiled at me brightly and I could feel a tip of joy arise in me.

“Look who is ready for her big day,” she said excitedly.

I felt the need to talk to her, it made me feel like I could rely on her.

“What's wrong?” She asked worriedly, noticing the sadness on my face.

She held my shoulders, her cold hands did a lot of wonders in me as it cooled my troubled heart a bit.

“You will be fine….” She was caught short by the loud noise of the door opening widely.

We all turned to see him standing at the door post anger visibly displaying on his face.
