One Night Plus a Lifetime

Safe

" i need my own things i cannot stay here without them, "

"fine ill have someone pick them up" he walked towards the kitchen area. " i can get them myself"

. "were do you plan on going its our wedding night" when he said that he pulled her closer to himself and held her by the waist. Aria's eyes widened in shock.

"what are you doing?" she tried to move from his hold but it was tight. . he leaned closer to her face and she could smell the fresh shower gell sent on him it was so strong Aria couldnt help but flinch "what do you think?" her heart started beating really fast "Mr Presley.!!!!"

he smiled at her in mockery and she got even more confused, "seriously ...Mrs Presley, what do you think?. this is our wedding night.. and today is the worst day of my life.. ...when you showed up at my door , you ruined a lot of things for me.. now we are both stuck together, did you think i was going to consummate this marriage.... wrong ... i hate you Aria, i hate everything about you ... behind these walls we are nothing to each other, behind these walls we are strangers . the only thing connecting us is this child... i mean nothing to you and you mean nothing to me , outside we will be a happily married couple but not behind these walls"

he let go of her and she stood there frozen looking and his cold face. Aria knew this very well but hearing him say that still made her heart beat fast, she never had any hopes for this marriage she knew what she was getting herself into the minute she said i do, "for how long Devon?.... for how long is this marriage going to last..." she asked him how long are they going to be tied together when both of them know full well that they are never going to be happy with one another, when they will always hold no warm feelings for one another, "for as long as it needs to" he says to her. " Aria took a deep breath and looked at the floor. it was hopeless to talk about this any further.

Devon starred at her for sometime before he turned around and headed for the door. "Mr Presley??.... i want a divorce" he did not turn around to face her, he just smiled opened the door and walked out of the penthouse. "my wife wants a divorce on our wedding night" he shook his head and laughed as he talked to his body guards following him behind. 'it is too early for that my dear little Fire" he thought in his head.

Aria still remained there in the living area as she watched him leave and finally she broke down . her hands on her face soaked in her tears. "i hate you too Devon, i hate you more... i hate you i hate you" she cried until she could not cry anymore. she folded herself on the couch. her brain could not calm down she was missing her father and her friends a lot . but somehow she managed to fall asleep.

she was woken up by a knock on the door. she frowned when she saw where she was. it was not the room she was used to waking up to. this place was strange and did not make her feel comfortable at all. she realised she had fallen asleep on the couch and was still in the wedding dress. the fact that she woke up as Mrs Presley was even more saddening to her. someone knocked on the door again and she did not know if she should go and open it while still in this dress . she picked up the material and decided to do so heading straight for the door.

"good morning Mrs Presley.." a woman greeted her as soon as she opened the door. Aria recognized her. she was the same woman who had given her this address when she went to find Devon at the beach house. "hello.. good morning."

Aria also noticed three big suitcases by the door.

"these were sent here by Mr Presley" the woman said. where these her clothes. she pulled one and checked. they were indeed her things . Aria wanted to carry them inside when the woman stopped her.

"please Mrs Presley ... allow me to do it... these suitcases are heavy and you are pregnant."

Aria looked at her a little confused as to how she could have known that. "Mr Presley told me. he sent me here to stay with you and help take care of you in case you need anything...."

she looked at the bags, did this mean Devon would not be staying with her. and was that why he left and never came back. Aria did not know how to feel about this. somehow she was happy she was not going to be seeing him but living here she felt even more isolated. "Alright ..please come in" she said to the woman.

"Mrs Presley.. you can call me Natasha" .. the woman smiled at her.

"well Natasha.. don't call me Mrs Presley just call me Aria .. okay.. "

they both entered the house. Aria never got to see the entire place yesterday but it looked like Natasha was familiar with everything. "i have been working for the Presley's for more than 10 years now.. i have seen the young sir grow up mostly .. by the way.. congratulations on your marriage .. sir Devon is .. well sometimes distant but he has a good heart and means well for everyone. " Aria was surprised to hear there was a person who thought of Devon as a good man but when she thought about it. he did seem like a nice man when he helped her that night.

was the reason he hated her because she got pregnant, was it because he blames her thinking she trapped him. she shook her head it did not matter. there was nothing that could change that.

Aria decided to take a shower and change her clothes. the room that belonged to Devon was now hers. she placed her things in one corner not unpacking them as if she was just visiting. when he said she would have everything she would need here he truly meant it. Aria walked into a closet the size of her previous bedroom she shared with her friends. on one side of it where male clothes and shoes . she knew they must belong to Devon. and on the other were a lot of elegant dresses and shoes that were in her exact size it shocked her. not only clothes but also lingerie.

She just looked at them and did not dare touch a single one of them. these clothes where not her style at all and the fact that they came from Devon made her hate them. since when did she dress like a politician's trophy wife... oh wait... she just realised she was nothing but a politician's wife for the cameras. that made her bite her lip hard.

she got freshened up and headed for the kitchen, Natasha had already made breakfast and placed it neatly on the dining table. this made her remember her father's tea all the memories of her home flashed in her mind making her emotional. she saw there was only one plate on the table,

"Natasha... "

"yes Mrs ... i mean Aria ."

"you made breakfast, but why is there one plate there , its just the two of us... we can have breakfast together"

Natasha has never had breakfast with her bosses before so what Aria suggested was out of line to her. this new Mrs was different from the other Presley family members.

"no Aria child .. i wont have my breakfast until later so please, have yours ..you need to eat on time."

Aria did not say anything to her and just pulled her hand towards the dining table. she was not used to being served or eating alone . just because Natasha worked for Devon did not mean she worked for her too. and besides, Natasha was old enough to be her mother so how could she let her work for her like this. "sit down Natasha.. i am not your boss, just think of me as someone annoying you live with okay.. and you don't have to make me breakfast .. even though am a terrible cook... i learnt how to make the most delicious tea from my father... you eat this and ill make for the both of us.. "

"wait Aria-" Natasha remained with her unfinished sentence because Aria already dashed to the kitchen.

they sat on the table having breakfast with Aria talking nonstop and Natasha just wondering how these two personalities of her boss and Aria could come together and be husband and wife. she thought they were polar opposites of each other in so many ways. Aria seemed down to earth while Devon was not someone anyone could pull down to earth.

after a fulfilling breakfast. she did not have anything else to do instead she went to find her phone

when she checked her phone to call her friends and her father informing them she was fine . she saw it had been off since she left for her wedding and when she turned it on. the thing would not stop vibrating with notifications. she saw a bunch of messages and missed call from Jamie, Callie and Meredith.

she opened Meredith's message.

" do not ever check the internet .... ever "

she was confused and curious as to why Meredith would say that. Why would she warn her not to check the internet. filled with curiosity, Aria check and the first thing that came up was a picture of her and Devon. standing next to each other as she put a ring on his finger. the headlines read.

Famous Billionaire Politician Devon Presley Ties the note with his long time lover in a secrets wedding held yesterday at a private country club .

she gasped at how many more of these posts where trending online. the pictures of there wedding had flooded the internet , Aria did not even know when these pictures where taken.

but it was all over social networks.

some had good things to say about her and Devon and some said the worst things she had never heard before.

others where congratulating them while some girls were busy saying all sorts of things about Aria . calling her a gold digger calling her ugly and all sorts of things. some even found her private social media account and stalked old pictures of her turning them into bad edited pictures.

'he deserves better than her. she does not belong in his class '

'she must have trapped the poor man'

'Devon will always be mine'

more and more hateful comments where only based on her alone. some even went as far as creating social media accounts just to make hateful posts about her and even sending death threats in her messages telling her to leave Devon

others went and even found the old Video she made last time when she danced with Pete at his restaurant . they used that video to slander her and call her a w****;

She felt cold in her knees her name was everywhere and so was Devon.

she felt like throwing up just reading these message. she turned off her phone, threw it on the couch and ran to the bedroom crawling in the sheets. she was never expecting things to go this crazy. Devon should have warned her about the spot lite he was pulling her into. She felt like the whole world had invaded her life. she did not feel like it belonged to her at all, how can people say such things about her without even knowing who she was.

all these things made her cry again, she felt bad for herself and she wished that this hatred would not reach her family or her friends . she did not even have the will to get out of bed . she did not feel safe even in this house or this bed either.
