《Purchased Wife》Chapter 8: Meaningless Wedding

Damn my foolish eyes
Cause that man's lessons had a price
Oh sweet price
Everything Regina sent her from
every dress, every piece of jewelry either gold or diamond, Melissa and Tanya distributed them all among themselves.
All of them one of them. Every gift filled greed in their eyes.
Tanya hates Emily more that she got to marry the most handsome male on the planet. And why wouldn't she? Liam was voted number 1 in the youngest and sexiest playboy CEO in Forbes magazine. He was even voted the most beautiful man in all of the USA. And as a matter of fact, he also took pride in being dominant, gorgeous, manipulative and powerful.
She looked at herself in the mirror naked as Tanya covered up the scars and fresh bruises. Beating the sponge hardly on the sore spots on her body as she said: "Daddy said that you need to learn how to cover up yourself." Emily just nodded.
Tanya left Emily after doing her makeup and hair and slowly Emily wore her so-called wedding dress. It was a dress that David bought from the thrift store.
It had fire on it.
It was clear that they didn't even care at all.
She looked at herself in the mirror and cringed hard.
She heard a knock on the door and said: "Come in." Curtis came in with a wedding dress in his hand.
(picture above)
He smiled and said as he handed her the dress, "I'm not gonna let you get married in that awfully ridiculous dress."
She smiled and went inside to wear Curtis' dress.
When she came out, he smiled at her and held her face. He said"Just a little longer and we'll be out of New York forever. And we're not coming back, okay?" She nodded her head with a smile because Curtis always kept his promise.

This time his promise was that they would move to LA forever.
He kissed her forehead and asked, "Can I walk you down the aisle?" She smiled and said, "I'd love that more than... but David wants to give me away." He understood and nodded because he knew it was no use to fight David on that.
When it was time for the wedding, Liam kept the ceremony small. Really small that only close friends were invited.
David walked Emily down the aisle. Her face plastered with a fake smile.
He said to her"Shut your hole at all times. Don't talk to him until he speaks to you. And you don't deny him anything. Understand?" She nodded her head"Understood."
David handed her hand into Liam's hand with a fake smile that seems to scream 'I AM GONNA BE RICHER!'
Liam grabbed her hand in a painful way. But she still smiled in that pain.
After their fake vows and fake I do's, when they exchanged the ring, he held her hand hard and pushed down the beautiful 8 karat diamond ring on her finger forcefully.
That she gasped in pain. The ring felt like a leash was being tied around her neck.
When it was her turn, she took the ring from David and slid that simple silver ban ring down Liam's slender ring finger. The ring that she didn't even knew when David bought it.
The priest said, "You may now kiss the bride."
Liam smiled at her and grabbed her face, slowly kissing her. But the kiss was not with love or happiness, but with disgust and pain, hurting her. He pecked her lips one last time and whispered"Tonight you're mine. And every day for the rest of your sad life."
The reception was held in his hotel. They were so many guards because he never wanted anyone to take pictures of her. Of any kind.

Liam had told her to remove her veil. And without the veil, she felt very uncomfortable with her back exposed.
Every time, they would meet someone or talk to someone, he'd put his palm pressed against her exposed skin. Sometimes, his fingers softly trailing up and down her skin.
When it was time for them both to dance, he held her.
He took her one hand in his and the other one, he places it on his heart. He wrapped his arm around her waist and pulled her against his chest, real close.
As she wore a simple white backless gown without a veil, his hands lightly caressed her back from the nape of her neck to the end of her waist. He pulled her closer to his chest. His hands stopped on her back and he dug his nails on her bare skin. Causing her to feel pain.
She hissed as she felt the sharp pain of his nails. He looked at her and said"Smile, my love. The pain just started. You don't know the real pain you'll feel tonight."
He was taunting her and she was petrified of him.
After attending the reception for only an hour, Liam held her wrist and took her forcefully out of the hotel and into the car. Poor Emily couldn't say goodbye to Curtis at all.
As they reached the mansion he said: "Make up a good excuse to Gran about where I am and I'll reward you when I will come back, Understand?" She nodded her head"Understood."
As soon as she said that, he smiled at her. He leaned in and she leaned back.
When she was pinned up against the car door, he was really close to her.
Thank god, the driver couldn't see anything because of the partition
He asked her while smiling"What the fuck are you still doing here? Get the fuck out." His smile disappeared and she got out of the car as soon as she could.
Once she got out and closed the door, the car drove past her at lightning speed.
Emily always had this fantasy. Always lived in the dream that one day someone would marry her for love and her tortures would end forever.
Someone who would carry her inside the threshold to their home.
Someone who would treat her with respect, dignity, and love.
But that wasn't written in her fate.
She thought to herself:
My curse is to never be loved. Ever.
•••••
So she is finally in Liam's territory now.
What do you think will happen next?
Keep on ready, ya crazies!
Bye!
Love, Hope
