Valerie!!! I was jolted back to reality by my mother Vanessa's voice. My daughter, you know your father to be a man who doesn’t go back on his words hence the reason why I can’t persuade him to change his mind on this matter.
But why? I asked, tears rolling down my eyes as I could feel my world crumbling around me. I’ve always done everything that is requested of me and now you want me to marry Dad's friend, a man old enough to father me. I questioned in between sobs. That’s not fair Mom, I said, staring at her with pleading eyes hoping that she would change her mind.
That’s a discussion for another day Valerie but I want you to have it in mind that your father and I want what’s best for you and Mr. Lucas is a wonderful man and a friend of the family and I trust he’s going to take good care of you my mother said. I can’t believe you Mom, I said vigorously, shaking my head and refusing to listen to any other thing she has to say. I won’t be a part of this Mom just count me out I said and stormed out of the room angrily slamming the door behind me.
On the wedding day, I was all adorned and the makeup artist did a wonderful job concealing my puffy face due to the tears and sleepless night to look beautiful. My father Peter held my hand and slowly walked me to the altar. After the sermon, the pastor asked the big question. Mr. Lucas, do you take Valerie to be your lawfully wedded wife?
“Yes, I do” he responded. Turning to me he asked Valerie do you take Mr. Lucas to be your lawfully wedded husband? and at this point, It felt like the hall was spinning. I opened my mouth to speak but words failed me as I looked around the beautifully decorated hall filled with dignitaries and then my gaze rested on my parents where they were seated with pleading eyes, urging me to say yes
“Yes, I do,” I finally said, letting out a long sigh. You may now kiss the bride, the pastor said. Lucas winked at me as he moved towards me slowly to kiss me. He pressed his lips firmly on mine and gave me a long kiss with my eyes shut and the hall was filled with claps and cheering.
What took you so long to respond to the pastor’s question Lucas asked in the car on our way to his mansion. Isn’t it obvious I responded. He stared at me coldly with a wicked grin and said you’re mine now Valerie and the earlier you realize that the better for you. I stared out of the window with a heavy heart not wanting to listen to any other word he had to say and fought to suppress the tears that were beginning to gather in my eyes from falling and let out a long sigh and at that moment reality dawned on me that I am in this marriage for real.
After having his shower, Lucas stepped into the room and was surprised to see me still fully dressed. Go and take a shower he ordered I’ll be on the bed waiting he said with lusting eyes gawking at my body as he positioned himself comfortably on the bed. With trembling feet, I walked into the bathroom.
After having my shower, Lucas demanded that I remove my bathrobe as he couldn’t wait to verify if I was truly a virgin as my father claimed. I refused to take it off as I couldn’t imagine myself having s*x with my father’s friend. Can we please rest for tonight? I'm very tired, I asked with a pleading tone as I stood far away from the bed.
He was losing his patience as he stared at me with anger visible in his eyes and said it had to be tonight. He stood up and pushed me on the bed, yanked off my bathrobe, and pinned me firmly on the bed despite my struggles. He was stronger than me. Please don’t rape me I said hot tears streaming down my eyes and my heart pounding hard it feels it would burst.
Lucas with lust visible in his eyes grinned wickedly at me and said it isn’t raping my dear wife you’ve forgotten you took your vows today. I’m now your husband and I have every right to make love to you and with force he penetrated as I let out a shrill cry.
Ignoring me Lucas continued going in and out pounding hard and putting all his weight on me as if his life depended on it. When he reached the climax, he pushed himself off me and rolled on the bed laying on his back to catch his breath. I’m so lucky to have you Valerie and I owe Peter a gift for raising you well he said catching his breath. I just lay there crying my heart out as I was feeling disgusted with myself. I stood up from the bed and wrapped the bloody sheet around myself to go have a shower.
I stood under the shower and allowed the cold water to run over my bare skin as I cried my heart out. This wasn’t how I envisioned my first night. I lamented with no one to listen to me as I stared at the bare bathroom floor and suddenly, I became dizzy and tired resting on the wall for support but all I could hear was someone faintly calling my name before I passed out.
Lucas POV
I lay down on the bed smiling happily that I've finally achieved my dream of marrying a virgin when I heard a loud thud in the bathroom. I rushed in to find Valerie lying on the floor lifelessly, I called her name repeatedly but no response. I panicked as I quickly checked her pulse but couldn’t feel anything.
Is she dead? I panicked as I picked her up.
