Married To My Sister's Husband

MAN DOWN

Aloras's p.o.v

Justin had better hide as far as he can because once I set my eyes on him, that will be his last day. I almost lost my life last night and all because of a cheating asshole.

“You'll be fine, just get enough rest” The doctor says to me. Luckily, I just had a concussion and I can go home now.

“Thank you, doctor” I say and she smiles.

“Have a merry Christmas, Miss storm” She says and moves to attend to another patient.

I check my phone in Hadley's purse to find so many calls from her, I remember I have to get her vehicle from where it was towed, the hospital gave me a number to call.

I grab a candy cane from the reception and walk out into the cold winter air. The whole street is full of Christmas decor and every single person is cheerful. A group of people are singing carols across the street. I should call mom but first I must find a taxi. I'm standing by the side of the road when a black range rover pulls up blocking my view so I decide to move away but the door suddenly swings open and a scary looking man grabs me. I try to scream and struggle but I’m weak, he covers my mouth and nose with a cloth and I'm overtaken by darkness. Why is this happening to me?

When I open my eyes, I realize the car is still in motion and driving into the compound of a mansion. It's only in movies that I've seen a house as huge and beautiful. What is this place? There is a man standing right outside who's dressed like he’s on his way to a wedding or something, he has a stern look. I may be paranoid but I swear his eyes are on me.

How do I get out of here?

“Where am I? Who are you people?” I ask as I try to open the locked door.

“What did I do? I've done nothing wrong to anyone, please let me go!” I beg as the tears stream down my face. I start screaming and banging on the window. There's no one here to help me, I could be murdered right here, who will find me?

“Please, relax ma’m, you must be in shock” The man sitting next to me says but I don't care. The car stops and the man standing in front of the house marches up to us and pulls the door open rather violently and drags me out.

I try to hide my fear but I'm trembling under the gaze of his ocean eyes. He has the most beautiful features in a man that I have ever seen.

“Are you out of your mind?” He asks, staring down at me and I frown.

“Excuse me?” I ask utterly confused. I am the one who was out in a vehicle and knocked unconscious yet I'm the one who is out of my mind?

He stares intently at me from my face to checking my hands. I don't know what he's looking for but I back away when he lifts my shirt.

“Please let me go” I beg but he harshly grabs my hand and drags me along with him into the mansion.

“Please” I beg him but he completely ignores me as we walk across the large floor and into a room where there is a white dress on a rack and a few women touching it up.

“What is this?” I ask him. Why am I standing before a f*****g wedding dress?

“What does it look like, Zaylee? Get dressed now” He orders but that's not my name.

“No,” I say to him and he glares at me. “I don't know what the hell is going on but I am not putting that on,” I assure him.

“I don't have time for this drama,” He says to me then instructs the women to get me ready.

“If anyone does as much as lay a hand on me, I'll break your arm” I threaten them and they stare at me with concern.

“Fine then” The man says then orders everyone to get out of the room. They all scurry away so it's just us in the room.

“Take off your clothes” He instructs as he locks the door but I don't think I heard him right.

“Excuse me?” I ask and he looks at me.

“I'm sure I didn't speak a foreign language” He says.

“I'm not doing that” I say as he approaches me, his gaze like a hawk’s.

“What are you doing?” I ask, backing away but he ignores my question and grabs my shirt, ripping it in half.

“What the…let go!” I try to fight him off but he pulls down my skirt and I'm left in my underwear. I can't hold back the tears any longer. I try to cover myself with my clothes but that doesn't do much.

“I know you can be stubborn” He says as he goes for the dress on the rack.

“What the f**k is your problem?” I have been kidnapped and harassed in the last couple of hours.

“But I didn't think that you'd pull a stunt like this a day to the wedding” he goes on totally ignoring me as he grabs my hand and yanks me closer to him in an attempt to put me in the dress.

“I can wear a f*****g dress” I snap, snatching it from him. He watches me put it on, he zips me up and drags me to sit on the couch where he puts the stilettos on my feet.

“What is so special about me?” I ask. He looks up at me, his hand resting against my ankle. I couldn't have been a target right?

“Not another word till after the wedding” He says and rises to his feet, dragging me up with him. I'm struggling to catch up because he takes long strides till we're out of the house where a car is waiting.

“Wh…where are we going?” I stop to ask but he pulls me along and forces me into the car. The locks click once we're inside.

“Drive” Grumpy beside me orders and the car is set in motion. I start crying all over again. I think of Hadley’s car that is still at the impound and my mom whom I texted last night, she must have texted back and Hadley must have called a million times. I think I may have dropped my phone while struggling

“I told you I don't want to hear your voice” Grumpy growls but it only makes me cry harder, I hate being yelled at. I turn away from him and in a second he pulls me towards him.

I stare into his dark angry eyes, holding my breath and trembling. His gaze softens.

“Are you scared of me?” He asks and I stay quiet. Why wouldn't I be scared when he acts like he wants to murder me?

He reaches up and I flinch away because I think he might hit me. He frowns and lets go of my arm and I scoot to the end of the car. I sob silently and he doesn't speak to me anymore till we arrive at the church.

“Come” Grumpy instructs and I turn to see he has his hand out for me which I immediately take and silently follow him out of the car and up the steps of the church building. There are people around here. I should push him down and run screaming.

“Help!” I scream at the top of my voice and many heads turn to me. Grumpy's grip around my wrist tightens and he pulls me against him.

“What are you doing?” He whispers, his blue eyes glaring at me and I start struggling to get out of his grip.

“Let me go, someone help me, I've been kidnapped!” I cry out and he immediately lifts me up and carries me into the church amidst my kicks and screams. The door closes in front of me and he puts me down. The church is quite empty except for the men in black guarding the door and standing by the altar.

I haven't been to many weddings but I’m pretty sure they don't normally look like this. What is a wedding

without family or friends?

“I don't know what has gotten into you but I'll need you to behave yourself for five minutes!” He yells and I burst into tears.

“Please, don't do this! Let me go” I plead but no one even looks at me.

He drags me down the altar where the priest is standing.What kind of wedding is without family or friends?

Once we're at the altar, one of the men in black presents us with two rings.

“Zaylee, do you take Seth as your lawfully wedded husband?” The priest asks. Seth, grumpy’s name.

“I…” I don't know what to say. I can't say what I'm supposed to say. I feel everyone's eyes on me, waiting and my heart racing.

The door suddenly swings open and a man runs into the church in a tux. His hair is messy and he isn't properly dressed. He looks familiar.

“Zaylee! Don't do it please, don't marry him! Marry me instead, he doesn't love you and you know it but I do” He screams and runs towards the altar. An angry Seth immediately pulls me to stand behind him and the men grab the crazy dude before he's half way here.

“Get him out of here!” Seth orders.

I watch as he struggles in their grip and tries to fight them off but they overpower him and drag him out of the church. Oh my god it's the guy that Hadley slept with the other night! What is truly going on?

“Shall we go on?” The priest asks and Seth nods at him then glares at me like I'm the crazy man that just barged in here.

“Do you take him as your lawfully wedded husband?” He asks again.

Seth's burning gaze drives me to answer. “I do” I say and he does the same then grabs my hand and slides the ring onto my finger.

“Very well, you may kiss the bride” The priest says with a smile.

Seth wraps an arm around my waist and pulls to him. What? Is this really happening? I squeeze my eyes shut and wait for the kiss to be over but I feel his breath against my skin.

“You don't know what you've just done, love. The same way you've decided to make a mockery of me is the same way I will make the rest of your life miserable, till death do us part” He whispers in my ear and my breath hitches in my throat as he presses his lips against mine and the room is full of applause.
