9. MARRIED
I woke up in the morning from a knock on my door.
My head was bursting with pain. But soon as I got into my sense I realized that it was the D DAY .
The day I marry Christian. Another knock on the door and I ran to open the door when a bare hard chest came in my way.
He opened the door and it was Mrs. Knight.
"Ohhh my lovelies. Good morning. Today is your wedding. I am so excited. Sarah I hope you had your beauty sleep sweetheart. We have makeup and hairstylists waiting for us." She was more happier than me and Christian combined.
"Mom....stop over reacting the wedding is at 1 o clock and it's just 8 in the morning. Sarah needs to take a bath and eat something. Then she will come to you . Okay." It was command more than suggestion.
"Ofcourse. Sarah it's your day today. I want everything to happen the way you want. No hurry at all. Take your time and live every moment."
"Sure Mrs. Knight . I will soon join you after my shower and breakfast. "
She left us alone and the first question was why was Christian showering in my room? And when his mom got here? But most importantly I needed a disprin to cure my headache.
"Morning love" Christian said but my eyes fell on his bare chest which was still wet from shower.
"Love?" I questioned.
"You're okay?"
"No my head is bursting with pain."
"It's hangover. An antihangover drink is coming for you. Drink it without any drama. I am not in the mood to argue."
The word hangover. Yesss now I remembered everything from the last night.
The club. Adam. Christian hitting him. Vodka.
"You belong to me and I belong to you.
" I remember each and every word I said to him and he said to me.
I had zero guts to look him in his eyes.
But today was the wedding I have to confront him now or then.
"I am sorry for what happened last night. I won't repeat it ."
"I doubt that Sarah. You were drunk and ....." he took a long pause before he walked to me and his eyes met mine our lips few inches apart . I could feel the heat his body was radiating and the fresh scent of his cologne filled my nostrils. His eyes were everything but soft.
"You.were.touched.by.an.asshole Sarah. I told you on day one that untill you are with me you are MINE. If I won't have made it on time...you might have slept with someone who was not me and I would have been press charged for murdering him. "
"I know I messed up and I am sorry. Christian I promise it won't happen again. "
"It better not love....else you will have to face consequences ." and his thumb swept the sweat trickling down my forehead.
The door knocked and the juice came in . He handed me the juice and sat across me. Still my entire focus was on his broad shoulders and his chest. I wonder if I ever get to touch them. His abs were clearly visible and finally I will stop fantasizing about them.
"If you are done checking me out Listen to me carefully Sarah.
Today we are getting married and you will be my wife.
The media is all over the place and there will be enormous camers on you from now on.
You will be in the news , magazines , newspapers and every social media platform.
To ensure you are safe is my responsibility.
So from now on you will be followed by a bodyguard everywhere you go.
He will be beside you all the time but he won't be visible to you.
And the most important thing is never ever try to fool him . Understood?"
"Understood " arguing with Christian was a bad idea.
"Now get ready to be my wife ."
"Do we have to kiss ?" I asked it and I didn't know myself from where it came. Christian's eyebrow lifted in disbelief that I asked it.
"We don't have a choice. We are a couple for the world . " he was right though.
"Ok" finally he left me alone and the makeup artists and hair stylists started entering.
My dress was just infront of me and so was my future.
Mrs. Knight is what it's gonna be from now on.
Butterflies were dancing in my belly. After a good 2 hour session of combs and brushes I was done with my makeup and hair.
My heart was racing like a car with every moment the dress slide down me my heart beating more faster .
"My goodness" a voice came from the door. It was Mrs. Knight.
"You look like a princess my dear. You are so beautiful. May god save you from every evil eye." And she placed a kiss on my forehead. I was missing my mother today but she felt like my own.
"Thank you Mrs. Knight . "
We chatted for a moment and soon she left to attend the guests.
I was finalizing my look for the d-day when Zorawar my bodyguard knocked.
"This for you mam. Mr. Knight has sent this for you." It was a jewellery box with a note inside.
The breathtaking diamond necklace was a gift to me from Christian. Everyone in the room gasped in unison when they saw the necklace. And I couldn't blame them. But what caught my attention was not the necklace but the note that came with it.
"Don't worry Sarah. I am with you nobody will say anything to you.
I know it's a fake arrangement but my respect for you is real.
Don't think about anyone just yourself. And you look like my princess wifey.
Waiting for you to be my wife soon."
My heart clenched on the fake arrangement but it was the truth.
At moments like this I wished we were real .
"We should probably proceed mam." Zorawar said.
I looked myself one last time in the mirror and followed Zorawar to the wedding area. With every step my heart beat shoot higher and higher. We were about to enter the hall when I saw my dad.
"May I walk you to the aisle Sarah." He offered his arm and I couldn't resist to take that. My eyes dwelled tear and he said in a low voice.
"I am sorry for everything I did to you Sarah. I might have not been the best dad but I couldn't miss this opportunity to walk my daughter the aisle. And you look lovely my dear."
"Don't say thar dad. I am greatful that you are here with me. Has mom also come.?"
"Yes she is waiting for you. "
I was so happy to know that my family accepted me as their daughter.
I never imagined that my dad would walk me down the Aisle.
Thank you for everything god. One last deep breath I took and entered the hall area where everyone was seated and all the eyes fell on me the moment I entered but my fell on Christian.
He looked like a greek god or even better than them. And my baby Blue was sitting in the arms of Mrs. Knight looking like my princess. So beautiful and so pure. I walked towards Christian and he took my hand. Our eyes locked for a moment and he looked at me from top to bottom.
"My queen" he uttered and a hint of peach flushed my cheeks.
I could feel cameras and many eyes just on me.
I was conscious and scared. I didn't want to mess up anything but the moment we took our vows everything went blank and it was just me and Christian at that moment.
We didn't blink even for a second when we exchanged our vows.
That moment was dedicated to us. To me and Christian .
To husband and wife . Not a single moment felt like it was a fake marriage but unfortunately it was.
We exchanged the rings and what Christian gave me was the highlight of the evening. I could hear ladies gasp at the view of the diamond ring.
I couldn't stop smiling when he slid the ring into my finger. It was first time I saw Christian smiling properly.
"I hence announce you both HUSBAND AND WIFE. You may now kiss the bride."
I got nervous on the word kiss and I knew Christian saw it. He bent to my height and whispered "just trust me wifey." And his lips crashed mine.
Every thought every feeling every expression drained off my body when he kissed me.
I opened my mouth and gave his tongue a way.
We kissed like there was no tomorrow but this magical moment came to an end before it even started.
The sound of applause from all the guests thundered the hall.
Christian held my waist and we were off to the reception venue.
"Are you okay Sarah." He asked and offered me a water bottle.
"Hmm " I took a deep breath .
"Do you like your ring?"
"Like it....I love it Christian. But it must be so expensive I have to be very careful since I have to return this to you one day." his lips curved into something close to smile. Not exactly but close enough.
We reached the venue and our car was surrounded by media.
"Don't come out untill I ask you to ." He said and opened his door to move out.
He came to my side of the car and opened the door for me.
.."come on wifey....let the world know who you belong to.
" I took his hand and set my foot down the car and got out from the car.
Zorawar was behind me and Christian was beside me with about 20 bodyguard before us and 20 after us.
We managed to get to the reception area and when we finally reached there Christian set his hand on my lower back and we were facing the paparazzi.
"Ladies and gentlemen......I introduce you to my lovely wife MRS. SARAH KNIGHT. " everyone started hooting and shouting at his announcement. Before I could do anything else he kissed me on my cheek and whispered in my ear "you're stuck with me princess."
I smiled at the crowd and left for the first reception party. The next 2 hours were the most boring because I had to meet all the guests as Christia introduced me to them and my jaw pained from plastered smile on my face.
"Congrats Knight " somone said from the back and Christian's hold tightened on my lower back.
"I wasn't expecting you tonight" Christian said with a hint of disappointment.
"Ofcourse I came....the bachelor billionaire is finally married. I had to see myself who caught your eye. "
"This is my wife Liam. Sarah Knight. "
His eyes gleaming with proudness on introducing me.
"Sarah nice to meet you. I am Liam Bailey....your husband's biggest rival. "
"Pleasure Mr. Bailey. " I said with surprised look on the word rival.
"So you know about Blue right. His daughter from his first wife who left him for 2 millions."
"Blue is OUR daughter not only Christian's. " typical rival.
"Glad to know that Sarah. But if in case you ever need some information about your husband. Contact me...you know rivals have the best information. Just in case ."
"Ohh really.....I didn't know that Christian is so much stronger than you that you are always busy stalking him .
Though I appreciate it, strong rivals are often a threat to vulnerable ones.
And you may call me Mrs. Knight ....just in case.
" his jaw clenched and irritation clear on his face. Tit for tat it was.
"Congratulations Knight. Be careful with the young lady."
"I beleive you need that advice Liam. Just in case."
I couldn't control a small laugh on Christian's word . Liam was an ass and I learned it the instant he opened his mouth. He got what he deserved.
"That was very like my wife. " he said with a smirk and his nth drink touched his lips.
"I am your wife and please stop drinking. Why are you drinking so much alcohol."
"I need it to control myself tonight wifey. I don't know if I can resist you. " playfulness lingering his eyes .
"I think we should leave Christian you are heavily drunk."
"Am I drunk....nooo I am not Mrs. Knight. Why are you so far from me? Come closer ."
His one pull on my back and my breast collided with his chest. He was drunk and I didn't wanna take any chance with him. I called Zorawar and helped us to the car.
"Wifey.....you are mine now....but still not mine."
"I am Christian. " I know I was his and he was mine.
He smiled at me and instantly passed out on the bed.
I removed his shoes and covered him with the blanket and was about to leave his room when his hand pulled my wrists and again our chests collided.
His hand carresed my cheek and his lips.
..so juicy staring at mine. The heat was high. ...
"Stay with me tonight. Don't go ."
"Okay Christian. I'll just change into my pajamas and come back. "
"Ahammm...come fast." I was basically flattered on his behavior . Cute Christian was rare.
I finally changed into pajamas and peeked into Blue's room to see if she was fine and made my way to Christian's room. I slid under the blanket quietly when his arm fell on my waist and he grabbed me.
"You're mine". He said.
"I am your's. "
"Not completely though."
"I haven't explored your body Sarah. I haven't claimed every inch of your body. I haven't seen every inch of your body. The kiss....that wasn't enough to claim you. I want you Sarah. " my brain numbbed my hands froze to his words.
"Christian"
"Sarah"
"You're drunk. "
"I know but that doesn't change anything. I want you drunk or sober."
"This was not in the contract. " I urged.
"You're still stuck on it. Then we might have to upgrade it huhh.."
"Good night Christian. We'll talk in the morning."
"So afraid of my touch?"
"Afraid that if we start it would never end."
"And who said it has to end?"
"You Christian. "
Our eyes locked for a moment and he smiled at me. Lust clear in our eyes.
"Sleep Sarah....if it start it won't end. You're addicting wifey.......
