His Purchased Wife ✓

1. First Meeting.

Emily's POV

“Where are you running, darling?” he grabs me with his filthy hands, “Tonight you are all mine.” I flinch and move away from him.

“How long will you run away from me?” he moves closer to me. I try and move away from him but end up hitting the wall behind me, I look all around me trying to find an escape.

“There is nowhere to run Babes?” He comes closer to me and holds my cheeks in his hands.

“Leave me. Otherwise….”

“Otherwise what? What will you do? Cry?” he makes a crying face as if to mock me, “But no one is around to listen to you besides me.” He presses my cheek tighter and I cry in pain and the bastard laughs in my face.

“You know Emily, I have always tried to get you into my bed starting in college but you and your little attitude always pushed me away, but not anymore, not tonight, tonight you are mine.” He speaks in a dangerous voice. I can feel my stomach constrict and my legs begin to feel weak.

I look up into his eyes which are filled with nothing but hunger for me. He moves closer to me and presses his lips on mine. I don't want my first kiss to be this way, I try and move out from his embrace with no luck.

“Leave...me leave…me...lea…vet”

“Leave!” I wake with a jolt looking around as to where I am, I realize I'm in my room.

This dream has been haunting me every night. I place my hands on my forehead feeling the beads of sweat forming, I look at the jug of water beside my bed and gulp it down all at once.

I've been having this dream since the day Tia released an advert in the local paper for a one night stand with me. She is trying her best to sell me to some rich bastard who can use me and then throw me away like last night's dinner, all she wants is money. Two days ago she invited some guy who tried to kiss me but I was lucky enough that my uncle’s friend came over for a surprise visit which ended up with Tia getting rid of the guy.

I just don't know how long I will be lucky like this from these guys she keeps finding, I need to get away from here and it needs to be soon.

*~*~*

“No Dad. That b***h is not coming with us” I hear Tia’s loud cry come from the living room.

“Try and understand princess, it’s very important for me to take Emily to that party.” Why would my uncle want to take me to his high five party, I thought I was a disgrace to their small family!

“But why dad? And why should I give my branded clothes to her?”

“The host of party was a very good friend to her father and he is a very big investor in our company. He just wants to meet Emily to be sure that she is all good with us. So I want to show her just equal to you in all manners. It’s just one night don’t worry, oh and I have booked the latest I-phone for you.” He says in fatherly tone and pulls her into a hug.

I look at both of them while hiding behind the wall knowing that tonight will be no good for me.

*~*~*

Wearing a very short black backless dress with tons of makeup applied on my face, I enter the party thrown by Jack, my uncle. I remember he used to visit me with lot of gifts but he stopped his visits after my Dad’s death.

“Emily. My daughter.” I hear the fatherly voice of uncle Jack who engulfs me in his warm hug. I feel so happy feeling this hug. It’s been so long that someone has hugged me so warmly.

“You have grown so much, just perfect like your Mother.” He emotionally says and places his hand on my head to give me his blessings.

“Make yourself comfortable and if you need anything just call me. I am here in the party only,” saying this he goes to greet some of the other guests. My Uncle and Aunt also mingle with their friends and I am left alone with Tia who also eventually leaves me to find some other rich hunk. So logically, I am left all alone among people I don't know, which doesn’t really bother me.

I have been roaming the party hall for an hour while trying to hide myself from all the dirty glances thrown in my direction.

Why did my uncle force me to wear such a short dress?

“Where is your escort?” I turn to find the most handsome hunk looking at me. At me?

He walks closer to me, looking dashing as ever. I am seeing a handsome man approach me for the first time in my life. He has a God like body hidden beneath his tux. I know this because of the way he carries himself in his walk. As he gets closer I see his eyes are a mesmerizing blue. His looks are ended with blackish brown hair which have been pulled back with a huge amount of gel.

He moves closer to me and I look here and there pulling my dress down a little to cover my exposed legs but fail to do so.

“So where is your escort?” he again asks me.

“I...I am...am not here…with an...escort” I stammer a little. Maybe due to his magnetic personality which can attract anyone.

“So you are here with your family?” I just hum and look here and there to find my family. I know if anyone sees me with him then I will face their wrath tonight.

“Would you like a dance with me?” he places his palm in front of me in a very gentle manner and I want to hold it but I fear Tia.

I don’t know from where my uncle comes from as he forces me to dance with Mr. Knight, the man talking with me who is his new investor saying its not good if I doesn’t fulfill his demand.

I place my palm in his and he takes a tight hold over it. Much tighter compared to any other and he seems to give me an evil smile. I want to move away but can't due to his hold. He takes me to the dance floor and places his hand on my bare waist pulling me close. I feel a chill run down my spine with his touch and try to move away from him but he tightens his hold on me crushing me to his front. He starts moving his hands on my back inappropriately. I again try to move away from him but I am caged in his arms.

I am just feeling like my dreams but the difference is this time it’s real.

“Be mine tonight.” He huskily whispers in my ear sending chills down my body. I glare at him hearing his words. “Don’t act innocent. I know your sister is a one night type of girl and you are no less a hottie. I want to see what are you hiding behind this short yet hot dress.”

Hearing his words I lose everything and slap him hard and move out from his embrace.

“How dare you slap me? You don’t know what I can do. When I want something I get it, and you will be mine one day.” he walks off angrily.

I don’t know what came over me and I take a glass full of water from a waiter and empty it by throwing it on Mr. Knight’s face.

“This water is to wake up you from your dream. Do you honestly think you can make anyone lie in your bed? But not me. Emily will not lie on any other person’s bed especially when treated like that!” I spit fire and exit the party before anyone could say anything more.

I know I will face the consequences of today’s Drama and that too very soon.
