A Wrong Marriage, An Unexpected Baby

Chapter 4

That was one of the coldest nights of Aurora's life when she was dragged inside the luxurious villa by the cruellest man on earth and that man happened to be her husband , the CEO of C & B Enterprises , where she worked .

Due to the snow fall that night , the entire area around the mansion was completely covered in white under the silver moonlight , but Aurora could not enjoy the view as much as she wanted , as the only thing she could see right at that moment was how fast her life was changing before her eyes without much of her will . And the most pathetic thing was , she had no courage to go against her miserable fate as her brother's life depended on the very words that she was about to say next .

Maybe that was why Aurora could never say ' no ' to that man , no matter how much she wanted to escape .

The hand which kept pulling her slender body by her wrist , kept getting stronger to the point that it left marks on her without much of his notice .

If the situation was something else , Gabriel might have been the first person to notice Aurora's discomfort right at that moment , but he was in no right mind to think of anything else other than confining the one and only girl he had ever imagined to be with in his entire life .

" You are hurting me . " Unable to endure the pain around her wrist , Aurora finally opened her mouth , but the person who kept dragging her inside the villa with an utter rush , stayed completely indifferent .

It was not that Aurora did not scream while trying to loose her arm out of Gabriel's painful hold , but it was like he did not care at all whether Aurora was okay or not .

Unconsciously , a lone tear finally dared to ooze out of Aurora's eyes like a traitor and disappeared in no time , even before anyone could see . And at that moment , that was what she decided to do all her life from now on . No matter how hard the situation became , no matter how badly she wanted to cry , Aurora stubbornly decided to hide all her tears before she could finally turn herself into the object of another's pity .

So , Aurora shut her mouth once again and followed Gabriel just like he wanted , only to walk into hell that night . And as soon as they walked inside , ditching the furious snowfall outside , the bright dazzling light inside the villa greeted Aurora and caused her to close her eyes with suddenness . At that moment , she could not help but feel like the darkness was what suited her the best , as she had never faced such a bright place ever in her life which almost blinded her .

" Ah !!! Young master Castellanos !!! We have ... " The head male servant who approached Gabriel and Aurora as soon as they entered , seemed a bit startled for some reason , but looking at his master , he suddenly went quiet even when he was about to say something as soon as Gabriel returned home .

Being completely unfamiliar with the situation inside Gabriel's residence , Aurora could not do anything except follow the man as quietly as possible .

But when they were leaving the huge sitting area , she surely heard the whispers of the other staff around the house , who might have been trying to understand the situation as well . And after realising what kind of place she had already got herself in , Aurora could not help but gulp down her own saliva in fear . As this was a place that she always avoided . A place oozing with power and money in every single corner .

Even when the place seemed immensely huge in her eyes at first glance , Aurora's studio apartment with one bedroom , one bathroom and a tiny kitchen was way more breathable to her . Because , no matter how spacious Gabriel's space was , Aurora felt suffocating as soon as she entered .

Even the stairs , which she was trying to climb desperately to keep up with her husband's pace , she struggled hard not to fall . Aurora stumbled on her way so many times that night , but nothing made Gabriel look back at her for once until they finally came to stand in front of a closed door at the end of the corridor .

With a loud bang , Gabriel opened the door and dragged his wife inside and then furiously pushed the door shut behind his back . It was only then he finally cared to look into her eyes at last .

At that moment , the man who always seemed dignified in Aurora's eyes , looked absolutely heinous .

But , of course , Gabriel did not care what Aurora thought of him , at least not at that very moment when his mind was busy calculating something else . Although he had never bothered himself to speak one single word until now and did whatever he wanted all throughout their way back to the villa , Gabriel felt the sudden urge to open his mouth at last and when he did so , he made Aurora flinch in absolute terror without any doubt .

" This is where you need to stay from now on . You will walk with me if I ask you to . You will sit down and stand up just on my words . You have to sleep with me and you have to wake up with me as well every single day . Because , from the moment you signed that document , you are meant to be mine . Do you understand ?

This is my bedroom and will be yours too from now on . You do not need to bring any of your stuff from your place as I will make sure to get you whatever you need .

If you want to continue your work , do it from here . I will assign a driver for you who will take you to the office and bring you back to the villa every day without any fail .

And if you wish to go somewhere outside of your schedule , you need to inform me first .

In short , you have to play the role exactly like a wife , even when we have signed the contract for a year . And in that one year time , you just can not refuse me whenever I need you . In social gatherings , at parties and even at family events , you need to accompany me as Mrs . Castellanos from now on . So , from now on , you must forget about being the same Aurora Barrett that you were until today .

Because from this day onwards , you are only Mrs Aurora Gabriel Castellanos . And you must never forget that at any cost . " Gabriel's words stabbed Aurora brutally to the point that she felt like stabbing her heart with a sharp knife would have been way less painful than what she was going through right now .

Even when she heard each and every single word that Gabriel said just a moment ago , she could not give a reply and , except for looking at her husband with wide open eyes , she could not do anything at all . It was the moment when even her tears died down deep inside her as she could feel nothing at all . As if Aurora had completely turned into a stone .

" Do you need me to repeat ? " Seeing that Aurora had gone completely mute when he was expecting her to respond at the least , Gabriel uttered , crossing his arms on his chest like a devil .

And just like a puppet , came her reply , " No . I understood . "

Though Aurora said exactly what Gabriel was intending to hear at that moment , he became a bit startled as he might never have expected her to accept defeat this easily without a fight .

Gabriel's eyes widened for a little bit without anyone's notice and went back to being normal within a fraction of a second just when he felt a sudden pang in his heart without any reason at all .

That night , Gabriel indeed succeeded in putting on an invisible shackle around Aurora's ankle , but could not feel content at all . His heart was still as empty as always , quite unexpectedly .

No matter how many times he kept arguing with himself in his mind , Gabriel just could not decide who was the one standing at the winning end actually .

Was it really him ?

Anyway , seeing that there was nothing left to discuss between them anymore , as Gabriel had just cleared all the rules and regulations for her to be his wife , Aurora found no need to keep standing before his eyes any longer and tried to walk away somewhere out of his sight as soon as possible . But little did she know that it was just the beginning of her long miserable night .

" Where do you think you are going ?

Strip . Right here , right now . " Gabriel's cruel words froze Aurora in no time . Though she barely turned her back towards her husband just a while ago , she felt like his fierce gaze had already started to unravel her clothes bit by bit without making any effort at all .

Even in the chilled atmosphere tonight , her cheeks and ears burned in utter embarrassment , but she could not dare to lift her one little finger at that moment . Though Aurora wanted to believe that she did not hear anything , whatever Gabriel said next pulled her back to the harsh reality once again and she had to endure the humiliation .

" Or do you want me to do it ? After all , it is our first night . Isnt it ? " As soon as the voice fell on her ears , Aurora did not fail to hear how the heavy steps kept inching to her side with every passing second and her heart started to beat fast in ultimate fear .

Aurora could not understand what would be the right thing to do at that moment to avoid getting insulted by her husband once again that night and panicked .

After all , she had never imagined spending a night with a man without love ever in her life .

Even when she was never in a relationship , Aurora always dreamed of her first time to be magical and filled with love , but she might have never thought that her first night with a man would turn into a nightmere just like that .

And only by imagining how she was going to be ripped off of her dreams by her own husband , she shivered as Aurora absolutely loathed being touched by someone without her consent , even when it was no one but Gabriel Castellanos .

But the situation was different . Aurora had no way to reject her husband as she had already signed a contract and agreed to play the role of his wife for one year . And during that time she must abide by the terms , even if that would mean becoming his wife in bed as well .

" Aurora !! " Just when the void started to fill Aurora's heart , Gabriel's voice came from behind and it was only then had she realised how close he was standing right at that moment that she could even feel his breath which was touching her neck gently .

Knowing that there was no use resisting him any more , Aurora took off her coat slowly and let it fall on the floor without making much movement .

Through the large window , the beautiful view of the lake caught her eyes in no time as she only tried to focus on something else other than Gabriel . But how was that even possible , right ?

The perfectly fitted dress which was hugging her tight all this time started to feel so light on her body , but for Gabriel , it seemed bothersome . So , without any hesitation , he lifted his arms up and pulled the zip down till the end .

From underneath the dress , Aurora's fair skin started to get revealed bit by bit and caused Gabriel to furrow his eyebrows in sudden anxiety , even when the entire idea of ruining his wife on the very first night was his only , from the very beginning .

" Do it . Whatever you want to do with me , do it quickly . " Closing her eyes tightly , Aurora finally said , as if she was all ready to endure the night , but that was definitely not what Gabriel wanted .

No matter how ruthlessly he made Aurora sign the contract to become his wife within seconds , Gabriel had never intended to walk on the path which would make her loath him to the point that she would shut her eyes and endure him all night only to consummate their marriage .

In fact , for Gabriel , she was the only girl whom he had ever wanted to be his rightful wife for a long time , but the situation made him take the decision to marry her abruptly and he ended up becoming the most hated guy in Aurora's life .

Only if he did not have to save his sister's marriage life , would he have done it in a different way to woo Aurora into marrying him one day . And if that had ever happened , Gabriel had all the intention of making her fall in love with him first , so that she could come to his arms willingly .

A marriage with love and respect was what Gabriel had planned to give Aurora as the best gift in her life , but he ended up making it the worst for her as he threw a contract on her face and dragged her into his bedroom without her consent .

How pathetic could their lives be more than this ?
