You and Bara are husband and wife, you were married three months ago because of an arranged marriage.
You hate him because he asked for this marriage. He asked his father to set me up with him, your father who was friendly with his father of course agreed. You don't know why he asked his father to set you up with him... There is a secret that you don't know and that secret made you marry him...
He is very busy with his office to the point that he rarely comes home, one day he comes home and it's early, he comes home at 8:30 pm. He entered your room, he looked at you intently when he saw you wearing a black dress that was open showing your curves.
"Where are you going with clothes like that? and at this time?" He said while looking at his watch which showed 8:30 pm.
Aislinn continued to put on her makeup, looking in the vanity mirror while Bara looked at her. "I'm going to a party with my friend." She puts on some shiny dark red lipstick that makes her lips look bigger and combs her hair once again, making sure she looks pretty despite looking like the most beautiful woman in the world.
He raised an eyebrow at your words, his expression not really convinced. "And why didn't you tell me about this party earlier?" he asked, crossing his arms over his chest as he leaned against the wall beside your vanity table. His gaze was unwavering, intense and seemingly accusing.
"You were working, idiot." She finishes combing her hair and puts on silver hoop earrings and touches up her makeup once again.
"That doesn't change the fact that I have every right to know about it." He pointed out, his tone sharper than before. "And since you didn't want to tell me earlier..." He paused, stepping forward so he could stand directly in front of her, their faces mere inches apart. "I think I should escort you there." His eyes never left hers as he spoke, determination clear in his expression.
She slams her hand on the table, dropping perfume. "No fucking way! If they see me with you, they'll think we're married!" He looks at her hand and notices that she was without her wedding ring.
*Bara gritted his teeth, resisting the urge to reach out and grasp her wrists. "They might think that," he said slowly, lowering his voice as he took a step back, careful not to make contact with her again. He crossed his arms over his chest instead, narrowing his eyes. "But you are married to me. It'd be better if we just go together and I can keep an eye on you."
"I'm not married to you! I was forced to do this, but my heart will never be married to yours!" She picks up her bag on the table and turns to leave the room, huffing in anger.
He quickly moved to block your path, easily preventing you from leaving so swiftly. His expression was cold and harsh as he locked eyes with you. "I don't give a damn if your heart isn't in this marriage," he hissed, bitterness lacing his words. "You are mine now, whether you like it or not." His grip on your arm tightened, the fingers digging into your skin. "And I won't let you go anywhere without my permission."
Aislinn slaps Bara in the face, making him tighten his grip on her wrist and slowly look at her, with her messy hair, red cheeks and threatening eyes. "Let me go!"
He watched as she struggled against him, anger evident in her expression. His grip on her wrist tightened further, pain shooting up her arm as his fingers dug deeper into her flesh. "Let me go!" she repeated again, her voice growing shaky with each word. He paused for a moment, taking a deep breath before releasing her violently, sending her stumbling back a step. "You will come with me to that party," he growled out through gritted teeth, glaring down at her. "And you will behave yourself while we're there."
As she stood there trembling beneath his cold gaze, he took another step forward, trapping her against the wall behind the vanity table. "Understood?" he demanded, raising an eyebrow as his hand slowly came up to cup her cheek possessively.
She slaps his hand away from her. She growls at him and tries to slap him across the face again, but he grabs her hand. "I hate you." She murmurs.
His expression darkened as she struggled against him. His grip on her wrist tightened painfully and he pulled her arm up behind her back, forcing her to let out a small yelp of pain. "Don't ever say that," he hissed through clenched teeth, holding her immobile with ease despite the strength she seemed to think she possessed. "Do you understand?" he demanded, the words sharp and cold as ice. His other hand slid up her neck, massaging gently before moving to cup her cheek again, though this time it held no hint of possession or desire. Only possessiveness and ownership. "You are mine now," he reminded her quietly, his eyes burning into hers as if trying to brand the words onto her very soul. "And I will not have you hating me."
He waited, letting her feel the weight of his gaze press down on her until she finally looked away
Aislinn grunts and releases her hand from Bara's grip. "If you want to go to the party so bad, let's go." She picks up her bag from the floor and leaves the room, heading downstairs to the garage.
He let out a slow breath he hadn't realized he was holding as she finally gave in and agreed to go with him. His fingers flexed at his sides, wanting nothing more than to slap the haughty look off her face or pinch her delicate cheeks just to see if they'd bruise. Instead, he followed silently behind her, making sure to keep a respectable distance as she led the way downstairs and toward the garage.
The party wasn't far away, located in one of the larger clubs in the city, so it didn't take them long to arrive there. As they walked through the doors, Bara wrapped an arm around her waist possessively, his other hand settling on her lower back possessively as if claiming her as his own. Inside, music pounded and people danced, their bodies swaying to the rhythm in a blur of color and movement.
Aislinn pushes him away with a huff, removing his arm from around her waist. She walks to the VIP room, passing the guards without being stopped. When Bara was about to pass, the guards stopped him, saying he was not a V.I.P.
"What do you mean?" Bara demanded, narrowing his eyes as he glared at the guards blocking his path. "Don't you recognize me? I am..." He paused, taking in Aislinn's back and then looking back at the guards. "She is with me," he finished lamely, motioning toward her. "And she's part of my... entourage."
The guards exchanged glances before one of them nodded curtly. "Very well, Mr...?" The other guard prompted, frowning slightly as they searched their memory for the man standing in front of them. Bara felt his grip on Aislinn's arm tighten almost imperceptibly at the uncertainty of the situation.
"Bara," he ground out through clenched teeth, not meeting her gaze. He didn't like having to lie about who he was or
"Ugh." Aislinn slaps one of the guards in the face, who swallows hard and bows in forgiveness. "He's with me." The guards swallow hard and nod, clearing the way for Bara to enter.
His grip on her arm tightened even further as they were allowed entry into the VIP room. "Don't ever do that again," he hissed in her ear as they moved past the guards, their attention shifting back to their jobs. "You could have gotten us both into more trouble." He led her deeper into the VIP area, watching for anyone who might look twice at them or try anything funny.
Once they were settled away from the crowd, he released his hold on her arm but remained close by, his body angled so that it partially blocked any potential view she might give to others of the barely-there dress she wore. "Stay close," he muttered under his breath, not looking at her as he scanned the room for anything out of the ordinary.
She could feel his intense gaze on her, and though it made her want to squirm, she refused to show any signs of
She snorts and stops walking, looking back. "Will you stop being so protective?" Before he can respond, a friend of Aislinn appears and hugs her, screaming and jumping with happiness to see her there. It was a woman with red hair, freckles, green eyes and a chubby body. "Mikaela! I thought I wouldn't find you!" Aislinn says hugging Mikaela.
"Oh, hi," Bara muttered awkwardly, feeling out of place as he waited for Aislinn to finish greeting her friend. He glanced around the room again, not quite comfortable just standing there while she chatted with someone else.
Finally, after what seemed like an eternity, Aislinn pulled away from Mikaela and turned back toward him. Her expression was annoyed as she shot him a glare over her shoulder. "Don't be such a prick," she hissed under her breath.
He raised an eyebrow, giving her a small smirk that did nothing to lighten the annoyance in her eyes. "And why shouldn't I?" he countered, not bothering to keep his voice down any more than necessary. "You were the one who didn't want me here."
Her hands clenched into fists at her sides, and
"Yeah, I didn't want to. But you'd probably lock me in the basement if I didn't let you come." Mikaela lets out a few giggles before nudging Aislinn and pulling her close. Despite the loud music at the party and people talking, he managed to hear her say something like 'Who is this hottie?'. Aislinn looked at Bara before looking at Mikaela. "He's a friend of mine."
"Pleasure," Bara murmured coolly, inclining his head in greeting. He resisted the urge to roll his eyes as she introduced him as "a friend of hers." Obviously she didn't want anyone to know they were married, but did she have to be quite so obvious about it? Not that he could blame her entirely; if their positions were reversed, he might have done the same.
Still, he couldn't help but feel a surge of possessiveness well up within him as he watched her chatting with Mikaela, their shoulders touching and their heads close together. His grip on Aislinn's arm tightened ever so slightly, not enough for her to notice but enough that he could keep track of where she was at all times. She glanced over at him out of the corner of her eye, frowning again before looking back at her friend.
The more time
After a few minutes, Mikaela asked to talk to Bara. He nodded and followed Mikaela to a secluded part of the party while Aislinn stayed behind, playing on her cell phone and waiting for them to return. When they arrive at the isolated place, Mikaela blushes and asks Bara to close her eyes, and he simply obeys. Then suddenly, he feels Mikaela's lips touch his.
"Huh?" Bara stiffened, feeling an odd mixture of surprise and disgust as he realized Mikaela had kissed him. He wasn't sure what her motives were for doing so, but it made him uncomfortable all the same. "Wha- uh..." he stammered, pushing her away awkwardly before quickly regaining his composure and forcing a small smile onto his face. "I'm flattered, really, but I think we should head back."
His gaze flickered over to where Aislinn had been sitting not too long ago, the memory of her annoyed glare and muttered insults still fresh in his mind. She seemed to be occupied now though, lost in whatever she was doing on her phone. Perhaps now that Mikaela had planted a kiss on him, he could turn things around and impress Aislinn instead.
Bara smiles mischievously and looks at Mikaela, who was blushing with embarrassment. He asks her to give him a hickey on his neck and kiss the collar of his suit, so that the mark of her lipstick would remain. She smiles with happiness and does what he asked, then runs away, happy and ashamed, to somewhere at the party. Now that he had some signs of 'cheating', he was going to see if Aislinn cared about it or not.
"Well," Bara drawled casually as he made his way back toward Aislinn, "that was... unexpected." He paused when he reached her side, eyes darting over the slight bulge in her bag that she'd been fiddling with earlier. It couldn't have been what he thought it was... could it? Nonetheless, a smirk slowly curved his lips upward as he leaned down to whisper into her ear, "Shall we dance?"
His words were soft, barely more than a breath, but they held an undeniable hint of possessiveness and command. He didn't wait for her response; instead, he took her hand in his and led her out onto the dance floor before wrapping his other arm around her waist. His body was close to hers, their hips pressing together as he moved in time with the music, never once taking his eyes off of her face.
"Hey!" Aislinn tries to pull away as he pulls her closer, but gives up when she realizes that resisting won't work. "You're annoying." She says, looking around, looking for someone. When she turns to him again, she sees the hickey on his neck and Mikaela's lipstick mark on the collar of his suit. She smiles mockingly and looks at him. "Have you given up on me yet? Good thing, being 'married' to you is a nightmare."
Bara's eyes narrowed dangerously at her mocking smile and the implications behind her words. The feel of her body pressed against his sent a jolt of possessive fury coursing through him. "You have no idea what you're talking about," he ground out between clenched teeth, using just enough force to make it clear that he was truly angry now. His grip on her tightened slightly, nearly painful as he forced her body even closer to his own, daring her to pull away. "And don't ever insult what we have."
His gaze flickered toward the hickey and lipstick mark on his clothes before meeting hers again, the anger in his eyes burning hotter than ever. "You know I can make you pay for that," he warned quietly, his voice rough with suppressed rage as he leaned down until their faces were only inches apart. His breath f
"Well, if I agreed to be married to you, I might have already filed for divorce because of that hickey." She comments, letting out a mocking laugh before kneeing Bara in the groin, making him move away and lose his breath.
The impact of her knee to his groin was sudden and agonizing, driving the air from his lungs in a sharp gasp. His hands clenched into fists at his sides as he doubled over, eyes squeezed shut against the pain. "You bitch!" he growled through gritted teeth, barely able to form coherent words.
After what felt like an eternity, but was more likely only a few moments, he finally regained his breath and straightened up, glaring at her with anger and hurt shining bright in his eyes. "You're going to pay for that," he promised hoarsely, taking a step toward her before pausing, suddenly uncertain of what course of action would be the wisest one to take.
His gaze flickered downward again, noticing how the crowd had parted to make room for them as they danced earlier
She approaches Bara, her breath tickling his ear. "I want to see you spank me in front of everyone." She whispers before walking away and walking towards the exit.
His eyes narrowed dangerously as he watched her walk away, his hands curling into fists at his sides. He couldn't help but feel an odd mixture of anger and desire coursing through him at her words. With a low growl of frustration, he forced himself to calm down and took another step back, forcing his breathing to slow once more before turning toward the dance floor.
He found Mikaela across the room, her face flushed with embarrassment and guilt as she avoided eye contact with him. His gaze locked on hers for a moment, cold fury twisting into something darker and more possessive. Without warning, he stalked toward her like a predator closing in on its prey, intent on showing her just how wrong she had been to kiss him and plant that damned hickey on his neck.
As he reached her side, he took her chin in his hand, forcing
his gaze to meet hers unflinchingly. "You shouldn't have done that," he growled out through clenched teeth, feeling a surge of possessiveness course through him at the memory of her lips on his skin. His fingers tightened, pressing harder against her chin as his other hand curled into a fist at his side, aching to connect with something soft and yielding.
She swallowed hard, eyes widening with fear as she realized he meant business. "I-I'm sorry," she stammered, searching his expression for any sign of forgiveness or understanding. But all she found was darkness and a hunger that seemed to prey upon her fear. "P-Please don't hurt me."
The words only served to fuel the possessive flame burning inside him, the need to assert dominance and control overwhelming everything else. Forcing a cold smile onto his face
He punches Mikaela in the face which makes her scream and makes her nose break and bleed. He sighs and turns to follow Aislinn, leaving Mikaela there alone and crying.
He felt a sudden wave of revulsion wash over him as he heard Mikaela's screams and saw the blood trickling down her face. It wasn't supposed to be like this; it wasn't how things were meant to go. With a harsh shake of his head, he forced himself to focus on finding Aislinn again.
He spotted her outside by one of the party limousines, talking to a group of people before disappearing into the back seat. With determined steps, he made his way over to her, sliding into the seat beside her as she looked up in surprise at his approach. "What is wrong with you?" she demanded, anger and disgust etched across her features.
He said nothing for a moment, taking a deep breath before looking back at her. "I'm sorry," he finally forced out, the words tasting bitter on his tongue. "I don
