The Stand-in Bride

"Since you want to join my family so much, stay still." Marcus barked as he pinned Alexa. The strong smell of alcohol entered her nose, causing Alexa to crunch her nose and frown. But Alexa did not like the position she is in, but before she could say anything, Marcus raised his hand to suppress her, and then he sealed their lips with an intense and deep kiss. Marcus took control and had her lips under his captivity and Alexa can still feel the anger and hatred he had towards her in the kiss. She didn't like him too, and she felt nothing from the kiss, she struggled to free herself and finally was able to get some air, "Marcus, let me go!" She didn't understand what he meant, and she didn't want to give herself to him! Who Marcus loved was her sister, she knows that and she doesn't even care about it, she also loves another. After three months of marriage, the two have met only a handful of times. If it wasn't for the fact that he had to deal with his grandma, Marcus wouldn't even bother to look at her. Until now, Alexa still remembers the wedding night. Marcus tone of mockery said that she was just a commodity that was traded at will. That hit hard. But she knew why he had made such a statement and it was the same for her as well. In her heart, she already had someone she liked, and she was forced to marry Marcus just as he was forced to marry her. And she definitely didn't want anything to happen between her and Marcus. However, Marcus turned a deaf ear to her pleas and struggles, tugging at Alexa's clothes and went a step further. Alexa couldn't take it anymore and before she knew what she was doing, a crisp sound resounded in the room. A stinging pain on his face made Marcus's brain paralyzed by alcohol a little sober. He nursed the placed in which he was slapped then he looked down and saw Alexa protecting herself with her hands, trying to cover up what he had exposed and shouldn't. His expression instantly cooled down. "Alexa, what are you doing? After you have trying to get into my family even at the expense of your sister. What act are you putting on now?" Marcus sneered and looked at her sarcastically, "What kind of chaste martyr are you pretending to be now?" Alexa's eyes were reddened by his, "I did not want to marry you, if not for Cassie..." "Shut up!" Referring to Cassie, Marcus's expression became extremely cold, "You don't deserve to mention her nane. Now, not only do you not want to admit the dirty things you did, but you also want to put the blame on Cassie! If it wasn't for you, why would Cassie disappear!" "It's not me!" Alexa's eyes were so red, she opened her mouth to explain, but when she thought of the way her parents knelt down and begged her before she got married, the words got stuck in her throat. She can't say. Marcus smiled bitterly. If she hadn't married him three months ago, she would still be the medical student who devoted herself to studying Chinese medicine, and she would not have been forced to leave the campus because of the prejudice of the Hamilton family. She would never have a chance to touch silver again when she was Mrs. Hamilton. Seeing that she couldn't say a single rebuttal, Marcus thought it's because she couldn't defend herself hence she is guilty, "Alexa, you have a vicious mind, even your own sister can be attacked!" Before he finished speaking, he pressed down again, and Alexa struggled to push him away. But her strength was nothing compared to his. Pain engulfed her, Alexa's eyes were red, but not a single tear fell. She don't know how long it took but Marcus finally got up and left. Alexa's face was numb. After lying on the bed for a while, Alexa had the strength to go to the bathroom, soaked herself in the bathtub, and rubbed her body and marks Marcus left behind from her body, as if to scrape off a layer of skin. But the more she does it, the more obvious the traces are. In the end, she lowered her hand as if giving up. Alexa suddenly laughed softly, she raised her hand to cover her face, and the tears that had been hiding in her eyes finally fell. She feels now that she is no longer worthy of liking the guy she did. After so many years, the guy in her memory should also grow into a man, but now, he can no longer belong to her. She knows she was already married and couldn't be with any other man but losing her virginity to Marcus just made her lose what ever hope she had had. After soaking in the bathtub for more than half an hour, Alexa did not hear any sound outside, thinking that Marcus had already left, so she got out of the tub and exited the bathroom into the room. But she came to find him sitting on the edge of the bed. Their eyes met and Alexa only saw the hatred he had for her in his eyes. After a pause, Alexa was about to look away when he suddenly saw the pendant hanging on Marcus's chest, and her whole body froze. At the bottom of the red rope is a whistle the size of a pinky finger. It was when she was nine years old, and she tied it around the neck of the guy she loved with her own hands. Now, it's on Marcus! She had never noticed this before, he must have just woren it. Alexa's eyes widened, ecstasy and excitement poured overwhelmed her and the tip of her nose was even more sour. It turned out that Marcus was the guy she had been waiting for for fifteen years! She finally got it! Excited, Alexa forgot the conflicts between herself and Marcus over the past few days, and opened her mouth to tell him all about her discovery when the phone rang suddenly. Marcus answered his phone, his indifferent and bored look suddenly faded, a touch of ecstasy appeared in his eyes, and his voice was extremely gentle. "...Don't walk around, be obedient, and wait until I go to find you." Hanging up the phone, Marcus hurriedly changed his clothes and strode away without throwing a look at Alexa. Alexa stared blankly at Marcus' change, the joy in his heart dissipated a lot, and his expression was a little bitter, but she still comforted herself in her heart. Marcus just didn't know it was her, so that's why. When she tells him, he'll recognize her, and he will definitely treat her better. Same as back then. Thinking of this, a smile appeared in Alexa's eyes again, she quickly changed her clothes and followed him. She couldn't wait to tell Marcus. She really waited too long. Marcus didn't go very far, Alexa saw his figure and was about to call him, but saw another figure. Cassie, her younger sister, who escaped from marriage three months ago, and her whereabouts were unknown. Until now. Seeing Marcus running forward and hugging Cassie into his arms, Alexa's face was instantly pale, and the pain like a needle stabbing was dense, spreading from her heart to her whole body. It is said that heartbreak is an adjective, but medically speaking, when a person is sad to a certain extent, it will really lead to a broken heart. Alexa felt that her heart was broken at this moment. Marcus bent over to Cassie and in a cold but gentle voice, "Cass, the person I like is you, and the person I want to marry has always been you. As for Alexa, I will divorce her, and ask her to return Mrs. Hamilton's position to you." He said. What about her? Alexa stared blankly at Marcus' back, he had said he would marry her, so she waited for him for fifteen years. Alexa wanted to laugh, she felt that she was a joke. Being born in the Davison family is a joke, and waiting for the guy she loved for fifteen years is a joke.
