~At the wedding
The mansion was decorated beautifully. Xavier himself had managed all the decorations of the wedding. The hall was festooned with white lilies and pink roses, as they were Rosaline's favourites. She had an immense love for flowers. That’s why Xavier had made special arrangements to decorate the entire mansion with flowers only for his love. The dazzling, glittering, flamboyant chandelier was the cornerstone of the ceremony. Everything was decked up so majestically and looked very ostentatious.
It was just the epitome of heaven.
Xavier was wearing an elegant black Armani suit and was looking very handsome. He was talking casually with his friends, but his eyes were fixed on the top of the stairs, eagerly waiting for the love of his life.
All of a sudden, the hall became silent. Xavier's eyes sparkled with love and joy.
"Rose," he whispered.
There he saw his gorgeous angel descending the stairs slowly, looking stunning in her wedding gown. Her beauty was breathtaking, which left him spellbound. Rosaline was looking down nervously. Xavier then went towards her and extended his hand to her. But she didn't take it. Everyone became puzzled. Xavier slowly held her hand and tightened his grip. A gasp left her mouth, but still, she didn't look up at him. He then pulled her towards himself gently.
"Princess, you look incredibly fabulous," he whispered in her ear while placing a strand of hair behind her ear softly. Rosaline shuddered at his touch, which didn't go unnoticed by him. Xavier's eyes softened, and he held her hands softly.
"Don't get scared of me, Princess. I would never hurt you. Please believe me," he said in a sweet voice while lifting his chin. Rosaline then looked at him with teary eyes. But soon her teary gaze turned into a glare that surely triggered the Mafioso. Xavier gripped her chin firmly and spoke in a stern voice.
"Don't you dare throw any tantrums here or try to mess up anything, Sweety," he then leaned forward and whispered in her ear, "Or be ready to get drenched in your parents' blood." Hearing that, Rosaline's eyes immediately shot up. She looked at him fearfully.
"Please ...Don't d-", She was about to break down, but Xavier immediately shushed her by placing his index finger over her cherry lips.
"No, sweetheart, it's totally up to you. If you play along with me, you'll see your parents' happy faces, but if you dare to play with me, then you'll see your parents' dead faces." He growled in her ear, leaving her in despair.
Xavier then wiped off her tears gently. Rosaline kept staring at him with a broken heart. Her dad then walked toward them. Xavier smiled at him. He then shifted his gaze towards Rosaline and glared at her. She smiled back at her dad. Her dad smiled and patted her head softly. He then held Rosaline's hand and walked with her to the aisle.
Rosaline's P.O.V.
I didn't know what to do now. I can't say or do anything. Neither can I accept nor flee. I had never even dreamed that the love of my life, who was my everything, would do this to me.
I kept my eyes down as I didn't want to see this hideous monster anymore. I hate him with my whole heart now. He ruthlessly killed my best friend and even blackmailed me for his madness. He is a complete psycho. I never knew that the Xavier I know is this heartless!!
I was dying inside and screaming in my head for my dad to save me from this beast. But I was very scared of him. Xavier, for sure, had left me petrified from his monstrous act upstairs. I won't be able to save myself from this demon now, but at least I can save my parents from him.
We slowly reached the priest, and soon the 'I do' ceremony began. Then we exchanged rings.
Everyone then started cheering for us. I looked toward my parents only to see their sparkling eyes glistening with joy. Xavier then held my cheek softly and pulled me into a passionate kiss. I didn't respond, and he didn't even care. He then pulled off and stared into my eyes lovingly. I immediately broke eye contact. He then grabbed my waist and pulled me towards him.
"Now you're mine, Rose."
