“You look beautiful in that gown.” He whispered as he reached for my hand.

I didn’t answer him. All I could feel was hatred, sadness, and sorrow. This is the worst day of my life.

We faced the judge while I was trying to brush his hand off my arm. 

The entire event happened with me trying to move away from him while he keeps on pulling me beside him.

 The judge didn’t even ask me if I agree on marrying him. 

“And now, I pronounce you husband and wife! Mr. Hastings, you may kiss your wife now.”

That phrase caused my whole body to shiver. I could still remember the time when he kissed me.

Sebastine faced me and lifted the veil above my head. I froze in place for a moment while I was staring at his face. 

Slowly, he moved his face closer to me while looking straight into my eyes. My heart kept on beating so fast it felt like it was going to jump off my chest.

 He put his hand under my chin and made me look at him as he claimed my lips.

 I flinched but then I closed my eyes as I felt the warmth of his mouth. 

I wanted to push him away, I wanted to punch his face but I just couldn’t. It felt like a spell was cast on me.

Love in captivity:mafian's claim

Miss Felestine stood up, the smile on her face didn't vanish. "Ava!".

"G…Good morning, Miss Felestine."

"Thank you." I sat on a couch and she sat next to me.

"Miss Thea said that you want to see me?" I asked.

Why do I feel so nervous no that I'm in front of her.

"Yes, I told her that. By the way avs, I'm sorry if I didn't tell you in the first place that I am the CEO of this company. I just didn't want you to feel awkward towards me."

I shook my head. "You don't have to apologize, ma'am. I understand you and I think it was also my fault since I didn't immediately recognize you."

"Actually, I'm so glad that you weren't able to recognize me. I felt comfortable with you since the first time that we met and I don't even know why. By the way, congratulations. You truly deserve to win the competition."

"Thank you so much, ma'am. It's such an honor for me to receive such a compliment from you." I said while smiling.

She leaned on her seat while staring at me. "You know what? You actually remind me of someone."

"My daughter. You actually look like her in appearance she was still a child since the last time that I saw her. Maybe if she's still here, I'll see her grow up into a beautiful lady like you."

She smiled bitterly. "I don't know. I got into an accident before and lost my memories, all that I can remember is the face of my daughter although I can't remember her name.

My best friend just told me when I woke that her father flew away to Europe with her. I tried asking someone to try finding her there but they always find nothing. Some even said that she already died together with her father plane crash."

"I'm so sorry to hear that, Miss Felestine."

"But I don't believe that, I still believe that my daughter is still alive and she's still waiting for me to come back and get her. I will never give up on looking for her."

I could see the determination in her eyes. She really loves her daughter.

Miss Felestine suddenly looked at me. "How about you, ava What of your parents?".

"Actually Miss Felestine, I don't have mom anymore. She died back when I was just a kid. I used to live with my dad and his wife. His legal wife."

"Huh? What do you mean legal wife? Is your mom a mistress?".

I lowered my head. "My mother was just working as a maid in their house before, she fell in love with my dad who was the son of the family where she works at. My dad was already married with her wife then, but then he also fell in love with my mom and they had me."

"Do you know how did your mom died?".

"My dad said that she died because of heart attack."

Miss Felestine nodded. "Looks like we somehow both lost the ones that we loved the most."

"Then we can just hang out more together. You can even consider me as your second mom since you are now the ambassador of our company to other bigger ones. Are you ready to do that, ava?".

I nodded with a smile. "Yes, Miss Felestine. I am more than ready and I am so excited to be with you."

I was surprised when she suddenly leaned close to me and pulled me for a hug. "Oh ava, I've never been so comfortable like this towards someone."

"Me too, Miss Felestine. I feel so comfortable when I'm with you." I said as I hugged her back.

I don't even know why but I feel like I was safe while she was embracing me. It felt like I was home.
