CH.7- Game Of Revenge Has Begun

He looked into my eyes, his pair of emotionless blue eyes flashed for a second with astonishment "So do you also want to play a revenge game with me?"

I chuckled "Of course, when you have started the 'game of revenge', then I would also like to play with you."

He nodded "I would like to welcome you to my 'game of revenge'. But didn't you start this game many years ago?"

I didn't say anything and continued looking into his eyes with perplexity.

First of all, he had hatched the conspiracy then why did he say that I started the 'game of revenge'?

Thinking deeply, I...

Yes, he was probably right, he had conspired to harm me, but I thwarted his plot, and then I hatched another conspiracy to take revenge on him, so obviously I was the one who started this 'game of revenge'.

The priest's voice cut my train of thought and pulled me into reality. He asked me and Aaron something, but I couldn't get his words. I was perplexed that Aaron said, "I do."  

Then the priest looked at me "Miss Aanya Stephen, will you take him as your husband?"

Pursing my lips, I remained silent. The priest asked again, but this time, pursing my lips I remained standing and angrily staring at him.

This old priest was ruining my life, he knew it was a forced marriage, yet got gut to ask me this question and he agreed to get us married!!

The old priest got nervous at my stare, seeing his nervousness, Aaron turned his head and saw me, then he held my hand and squeezed hard that I almost hissed in pain.

Angrily I stared at him, he solemnly whispered in my ear "Did you forget what I told you before the wedding?" Then he looked at Victor and then looked at me back.

His threat was enough to give the words to my tongue. I move my lips and accepted this forced marriage "I-I... I d-do."

With this Aaron's minions started clapping, while Victor closed his eyes with agony. I hurt, to see his suffering and most of all my defeat.

Just that Aaron took my left hand and started putting a ring on my ring finger. I was startled and tried to pull back my hand from his hand, but he didn't let it go before putting the ring. 

I saw the ring and frowned.

The diamond was cheap quality and the yellow metal was not gold but an artificial metal. 

I was sure this ring was not from any jewelry shop, but he brought it from the street shop. 

Judging by his custom-made tuxedo, he didn't look like that type who couldn't even afford a diamond gold ring. 

He saw me and asked, "You liked this ring so much that you can't take your eyes off it?" Then he gave me a ring with a threat and stretched his hand. 

Unwillingly I put on the ring on his finger. 

After that, the priest said, "Now you may kiss the bride."

What? What did this priest just say?

I looked at Aaron and warned him with my knitted brows and shrank eyes. 

His eyes didn't show any emotions or reluctance, but his brows went up as if they were provoking me. He held my face with his big and firm palms and slightly squeezed it.

I felt the warmness from his palm while slowly seeing his face moving close to mine. 

No, I couldn't tolerate this! I wasn't the naive teenage girl from twelve years ago, who was accepting his kiss blindly and happily. We weren't the same term as back then, now we were enemies. To escape from his kiss, I tried it shook, but he grasped my face tightly that I couldn't.

His face was so close to mine that I could clearly see my frowned reaction in his eyes, he moved even closer, and then his lips caged mine and suck them, his tongue was about to enter my mouth, but I clenched my teeth and blocked its way. 

But he also did not give up, he who held my face with his two hands, he pressed my jaws from both sides with his same hands, with that force as my teeth opened, he immediately inserted his tongue and roamed all around my mouth.

I put my hands against his chest to break free of this kiss, but I couldn't. He let me go on his will after quite a long time.

Parted with him, I filled my lungs with oxygen while peeking at Victor, who was looking at me with his moist and sad eyes. I could feel his helplessness and anger toward himself.

I lowered my eyes to avoid my humiliation and embarrassment.

Meanwhile, the priest blessed us with a happy married life.

As the marriage was over, Aaron's minions started congregating him and leaving, and they also took the priest from there and also took back Victor to the same room, where we were before.

When Victor was being taken to that room, he was looking at me very sadly, his gaze didn't move anywhere from me till the door of the room hinder his sight.

After they left, Aaron's cold voice hit my ears, "He loves you, he has the same love in his eyes as I used to have for you 12 years ago."

He held my chin and made me to looked at him "Does he know about your true nature? Does he know that the girl whom he considers innocent and he loves with all his heart, in reality, that girl is not an innocent, but a skilled player, conspiring to ruin the lives of others?"

I jerked his hand and redeemed my chin from his tight grip "It's none of your business!"

Pursing his lips he continued looking into my eyes with his expressionless face, seemed he was struggling with something, then slowly said.

"After treating his hands I will send him back from here and you will go with me to my house which will now be your home too... Or should I say which will now be your cage!" 

I didn't say anything I know he wants to cage me. I turned and kept looking at that room where Victor was.

He held my chin and looked into my eyes "You love him too?" 

His question? I had taken aback, why did he ask it? Was he jealous or something else?
