chapter 7: Engagement Party

Hazel's point of view.

Finally, the day came when we were ieengaged by Liam Velasquez and in the next three days it will be Mrs. I'm Velasquez. after a lot of thinking, I decided that maybe it wouldn't be bad if I gave this wedding a chance. Liam is also a human being and maybe he will also learn to love me. Our marriage will also be like normal marriage instead of a deal.

i look at the mansion standing in its full glory in awe. It looks like a palace where the king and queen live. I am now sitting inside the car while observing the mansion where Liam and I will be holding our engagement party. I was with Andrea at the big event in my life as aunt and uncle wept over the loss of their only child.

I know you're thinking about what happened to Roxane.

last night after talking to Andrea, when I got home I saw Roxane standing in the hallway while wearing a wedding dress with David. Holy cow!

She got married! When? How? Where? And why didn’t he tell about it? according to the questions that run through my mind when I see Roxane wearing a wedding dress.

I also looked at my uncle and aunt who looked as shocked as I was and had no idea what had happened. Why not be surprised? She married a seventy year old man. roxane literally married a rich old guy for his money. Her new husband is one of the richest in South Arabia who is currently here in the Philippines because of a business and because Roxane is the great Roxane they had a one night stand that ended up in a wedding. that is, aunt and uncle were weeping over the loss of their son who had left and left them to go to South Arabia that same night.

"Where does your brain fly? Have faith on God.believe me everything will be fine too. "Andrea put her hands on my arm to give sympathy. I gave her a wry smile before getting out of the car and looking at the mansion screaming in pomp.the media at the main gate also grabbed my attention trying their best to capture the events. I know my marriage will be the only thing on media and all thanks to my marriage with Liam who is a multi-billionaire.

upon entering, grandma immediately greeted me with a warm hug and blessed me that Liam and I would have a happy life together. I just hope his blessing is real.

grandma took me to the middle of the hall where Liam was standing while Andrea was looking for a seat because she was not allowed to stand for a long time.

i look at Liam standing in the hall wearing a maroon colored tux looking different, it's like all kinds of butterflies are flying in my stomach but I immediately stopped when I remembered that he bought me to be his wife. There is no love between the two of us. I slowly walked closer to him and stood next to him while just looking down.

Slowly I feel a hand snaking around my waist, I look up at Liam through my eyelashes and see an evil smirk on his face. I felt his warm palm which caused me to feel shame and pain? Does it hurt?

I looked down at his palms holding my waist and saw his nails slowly sinking into my skin. i want to cry out loud in pain with his slow torture but i restrained myself. This is not the time to cry. I don’t want him to see me weak.

Just a few minutes ago and the ring ceremony began. Grandma was carrying the ring that Liam would wear on me. while Andrea was carrying the ring that I would wear with her. I decided to have Liam wear Daddy’s ring. Hoping he will respect this ring which is so close to my heart.

Andrea opens the ring box disclosing a platinum band with a diamond in the middle. it's simple yet an elegant piece.

"This ring is so beautiful Hazel." he greeted Daddy’s ring so I gave him a stingy smile.

"It's my father's ringIt's special to me so this is what I'm going to wear with him. "I said emotionally while remembering my Daddy who is also my superstar.

"Very good Hazel. I'am impressed with your intention." grandma pats my back lovingly. "Liam you have to take care of this ring as this ring is special to Hazel." grandma orders Liam.

Grandma opened the ring box which released a very beautiful Diamond ring that was princess cut. I look at the ring with awe.

liam takes a hold of my hand and presses it hard with his fingers crushing my bones. It hurt but I forced myself to smile for the guests. then Liam forcefully pushes the ring onto my finger with an evil smile on his face as he knows his hard grip on my hand is hurting me but I'm trying my best not to give anything away.

after exchanging rings we just stood side by side as we began to be greeted by the guests. I try to smile at all the guests who greet us. I looked at Liam who seemed to have a bad plan in the way he smiled. I'm just starting to hope that I will have a happy life but from what I can see in his smile my life has no other end but hell.

after sometime, we both are asked to dance which I respectfully deny but Liam being a jerk that he is, pulls me to the dance floor with the same evil smirk which I so want to remove from his face, but here I can't do a thing.

a romantic tune played slowly as Liam placed his hands behind my back and pulled me closer to him. We were so close to each other and I could feel his hard chest. With the music we start to move in a rhythm. then I just felt Liam's hand slowly rise to where the strap of the dress I was wearing was. I tried to get away from him but I lacked strength because he pushed me more into him. our faces are so close to each other that I can already smell his fragrant breath. This feel is so hypnotizing!

Focus Hazel. He doesn't love you. He is being a jerk here.

Liam slowly played with the strap of my dress, and all of a sudden his warm hand touches my bare back and I feel something in the pit of my stomach. This feeling is unfamiliar to me.

"Hmmm, so soft. You are so soft Zel.it will be so much fun to ravish my purchased wife on our first night and no-one will be there to save you from me that night. "he huskily whispers on my ears. I looked into his eyes and there I saw something bad siyang balakI did my best to get out of his arms but it seemed like all my energy was wasted because nothing happened.

"How many times will you try to stay away from me Zel? After three days you will be all mine to torture.everyday you will wish to run away from me but I will not allow you to do so. Welcome to hell, Zel. "After saying that he moved away from me slightly and turned me around with the faint music.

Why do I expect love from this loveless person? who is confidently saying to me to make my life hell.

Tears began to fall that I had previously been holding back from seeing the guests applaud because of the performance we did while my soon-to-be-husband looked happy because he saw I was hurting.

welcome to your soon to be husband's hell, self.

-end-

Ps. Don't get too upset with Liam, save that for the next chapters HAHAHAHA. Muah lovelots
