AIDEN'S POV
I walked up to Rosa with a huge smile on my face, pulled her close for a hug, and said “Let's go home love, everything will be fine “.
On her face was the biggest display of fury, disgust, contempt and disappointment I had ever seen, but behind all that was the spark of competition, I was going to need more than this to get her to break.
“Mrs Vaughn,” I whispered in her ear as I gently walked her to the car with the press hounding us with questions.
Is it true you're married to this woman, Mr Vaughn?
Was it love at first sight?
Why did you get arrested?
Who is this woman, and why is she here with you?
If you're married, why was there no wedding?!!
That was the last question I heard before I snapped at the reporters. “Go home all of you!!! This is my wife by law and will be my wife every day of her life. We'll give you the show you so desire soon with our wedding. Now let us enjoy our private moments alone. Thank you!!!!.
I couldn't help but catch Rosa’s annoyed look, like a bull ready to charge, but this bull had a puppy's face” I laughed hard as we got into the car and escaped the reporters.
“Get ready for a ride, Rosa,” I said as we got into the car. “We're going to buy you a wedding ring and the most astounding dress”.
“I'd rather die than be married to you” I heard her mutter.
“Now that's a nasty thing to say. Call me genius, but I understand you ladies don't like shopping with men, so I'll save you from death and reveal to you the amusing gift I have prepared for you”, I said smugly.
She shot me a stern look, one that would have pierced through my skull if she had superpowers.
“You don't have a choice here, Rosa, you're already married to me and I just want to make sure you are spoiled as my wife”, I assured her.
“Now don't get too excited, or I won't show you the gift your mastermind husband has prepared for you“ I added to infuriate her more. Her puppy bull look was intriguing, but I could really use something more exciting, but I got nothing. She just looked out the window and ignored me for the rest of the drive.
“Booooring” I hissed as soon as we drove into the Vaughn mansion, my home, my beautiful paradise, took my father two years to build and took me two weeks to renovate to my taste, but now I might have to renovate again for my new bride.
“Oh noooo” Rosa gaped, cutting short my thoughts , “You sick bastard, you didn't have to do this, no wonder you looked so smug, is this the damn gift?”
She yelled as she got down from the car .
I was right, she's got some anger and craziness in her, I just had to push the right buttons, I thought, as I watched her walk away with such amusement.
ROSE'S POV CONTINUES
I knew the devil's gift couldn't be good for me, but I didn't expect it to be this, what kind of scumbag kidnaps my sister to present as a gift to me?
My heart raced as I ran closer to her , just as I got close enough, I spotted her broad grin and stopped in my tracks.
Why's Marvel excited? Doesn't she know she shouldn't be here? Doesn't she know what this devil has done to us?
I couldn't pretend to not know the answers to these questions. Aiden must have lied to her to bring her here. I knew I couldn't ruin her excitement or imbibe fear in her, so I adjusted my attitude and wore a bright smile.
“Why are you here?” I asked Marvel.
“What do you mean? You're getting married, and you're asking why I'm here? “ She asked with a puzzled look.
“I just didn't expect you to get here so soon” I responded to ease her confusion.
“Well, all thanks to your sweet husband whom you pretended to hate all this while, I know you're nasty Rose, but hiding your relationship with your CEO from your only sister? That's verrrryyy nasty” She said jokingly as Aiden walked up to us.
“Let's go inside then, if you want to hear the complete gist”, I nudged her, pretending to be excited to share the story of love that doesn't exist.
“Rosa, wait!!” Aiden said with such command. I couldn't help but halt even though I wanted to run from him so badly.
“Go inside Marvel” I whispered into my sister's ear as softly as I could, and immediately she turned and strode inside the mansion.
Our age difference might be slight but I've been more than Marvel's sister since we lost our parents , so her respect for me is unquestionable.
She was just about 8 years old, and I was nearly 12 when we were informed of the car crash that killed our parents.
Marvel was deeply broken and fell sick for a long time. I had no choice but to assume the role of a parent, feeding and caring for her.
Our parents were orphans too with no siblings, so we were stuck with our father's best friend, who eventually disappeared after two years, forcing me into adulthood at an early age.
“Walk with me Rosa” Aiden commanded again and I was forced out of my thoughts and found myself walking alongside him. .
“Why's my sister here?” I asked with my eyebrows raised and my arms crossed and he stopped to give the most devilish smirk I had ever seen.
“You, Rosa are not complacent and you'll cause me a lot of trouble. Now, don't get me wrong, I like a bit of trouble but only when it's satisfying an urge and doesn't involve the press or police” he said with a smug look and I couldn't help but roll my eyes.
“With your sister around, you can have company, be less troublesome and rest assured that if you as much as wag a tail in a direction I don't support, your sister will be punished for you”. He continued , this time with a serious seriously compelling voice.
“Now, I submit the reins of the wedding planning to you. Do whatever you wish but make sure it's elaborate and entertaining and don't forget the chocolate macarons. They hold the key to my heart”. He finished with his face lit up , licking his lips and rubbing his palms.
“You're a sick bastard, and I'll make sure every waking day is trouble for you till you hate the thought of it and fear the mention of it “ I grunted each word with my eyes livid and heart heaving.
“Okay
Rosa, entertain meeee” He said with a singy voice. No doubt he's an obnoxious psycho.
