His world
676 Words
Friday arrived earlier than Amelia expected
She stood looking at herself in the mirror, she wore a simple black gown, not extravagant and not revealing
She wanted to look elegant without looking like she had spent hours trying to impress anyone
A gentle knock sounded on the door
Damian walked in looking arrogantly handsome in his black tuxedo
He raised an eyebrow
Matching colors
"You ready"
He asked
She nodded and picked up her clutch
The ride to the venue was quiet
Amelia looked out the windows, her fingers curled up to together, she was nervous
"You okay?"
Damian asked
She gave a weak smile
"Just nervous"
"You'll be fine"
He responded
"Easy for you to say"
He let out a low chuckle
The car came to a halt, indicating they had reached the venue
Photographers lined up at the entrance, Camara lights flicked
Damian was the first to step out of the car, Amelia followed
He stretched his hand towards her and she took it.
They walked side by side like a power couple, the pathway cleared for them, the Camara light almost blinding as every reporter wrestled to take their pictures
They finally walked into the main hall, the hall was dimly lit, Amelia gaze swept across the room
Politicians
Socialites
Celebrities
She could feel everyone's gaze on her in the room, she could hear whispers
"Who's the lady beside Damian"
"I heard he got married"
"Is that his wife"
"She looks so small"
"I heard the marriage was an arrangement"
Amelia could hear the whispers, her hands tightened on Damian's hand
He looked down, squeezing her hands with just a little amount of pressure
He wasn't going to let anyone bully his little wife
5 minutes later
A woman approached them with a glass in her hand
"Damian"
"Miss Wilson"
Her smile faltered but she quickly masked it
"It's good to see you again"
Her gaze fell on Amelia
She stretched her hands to Amelia
"Hi am Victoria Wilson"
Amelia reciprocated the gesture
"Nice to meet you, Amelia Kingston"
Victoria smiled
"Of course"
There was something about the way she said it
Before Amelia could register it, another guest came
"Damian"
Damian turned to Amelia
"I'll be back"
She nodded, he gave one last look before walking off
Amelia stared at him, she had been surrounded by wealth all her life, but this was different
Power
Influence
Reputation
Amelia reached for a glass of wine from a waiter passing by
"You must be the famous Amelia Kingston, the little wife of Damian"
Amelia turned to the voice that sounded behind her
A clean looking gentleman stood above her, he looked expensive but something about his gaze told Amelia to stay away
"You must be really brave to do that"
She looked at him confused, before she could reply, Damian appeared beside them
His gaze unreadable and the air around him cold
"Is there a problem"
Damian asked
The young man straightened
"No"
He replied
Damian took Amelia's hand
"You ready?"
"We leaving?"
She asked and he nodded
Together they walked out, they were done here.
