"A sea of whiskey Couldn't intoxicate me, As much as a drop of You" 

~ J. S. Parker 

Part 23

Blaize's Pov 

"Not bad my Champ" Bryan said patting my back and I so wanted to break that hand.

I glared at him and Adrian who decided to stick to my presence like a glue stick. 

"Don't you have work to do?" I asked them and they shrugged when Declan and Kate entered. 

They all were ready in black tuxedos while I had to wear this Red tux as per Benny's strict order.

I looked myself into the mirror and only after making sure I was looking perfect I looked at the boys. 

"Do you think Angel will be impressed by your looks ?" Adrian asked, making me gritted my teeth. 

"Shut up and stop reminding me of this stupid marriage, and I always look perfect without even trying. I also don't care who dies on my looks and who does not, so please, thank you very much" I said and Bryan smirked at me. 

"Of course, so let's go and see your beautiful wife" I cursed him for those words. 

"I don't even understand why are you all here, I didn't even invite you all" 

"You didn't even invite any of the people, it's Benny who did this job and we got special invitations," Declan said, airing his face with that 'special invitation'.

"Yes and come on it's my best buddy's wedding celebration, how could I not come for his best wishes, I still can't believe that my little boy got married" Bryan said wiping his Fake tears while everyone rolled eyes at him.

"I'm not little for God sake and I prefer to go instead of bearing your stupidity" He gasped 'over dramatically' and I made my way to my car. 

We decided to go together in limo and took our respective seats. Bryan opened the wine bottle and poured into 5 glasses.

While sipping wine, my mind wandered to Angel, I still can't believe we are finally married. 

I always dreamt of marrying her and starting a family with her. But I had never imagined that we would get married like this. 

Today when she entered the church my mind got lost in her beauty, the thought of she will be mine now did something weird to my heart. 

My heart was thumping so loudly that I could hear it in my ears. Her long hairs were designed into a beautiful messy Bun. Her dress looked so beautiful on her, it was not a dress that complimented her but it was her who beautifully complemented that dress. 

I remember she didn't like to do make up and today also without any makeup, she looks like a Natural beauty, like a real Angel, my Angel. 

My heart felt twisted by the thought of calling her mine. 

Is it possible that I still have feelings for her? 

I did my very best in glaring at her all day to let her know how much I despise her but it was more for making myself sure that I hate her. 

My heart gave a very painful knot when I harshly put a ring in her ring finger and accidently left the scratch. I wanted to be happy to hurt her but then why my heart always cries for her. 

Urgh I hate myself for still feeling for her. But I would make sure that I would only have one feeling for her that is .. Hate only Hate.

" Tomorrow I'll tell Angel to give her resignation" Adrian frowned at my sentence. 

"Why would you do that?" I shrugged.

"I don't want her to work with me anymore as now we are married, plus we can find a new secretary in no time" Bryan shook his head.

"Yeah we can, but not like Angel. She is good at her work and knows everything about our projects and company. If we recruit a new secretary it will take time for her to understand our work and we can't afford delays in our work." Declan nodded while added.

"Plus in 2 days there is a conference in Las Vegas and we need to go there for our new project and we need Angel there." He had a point so again I have no other option than letting her work. 

"But we can fire her later, once our project of an 'Empire Estate' and 'Las Castle' is completed we can fire her or force her to resign," Kyle said with a smirk. 

"Yes and then the new secretary will have enough time to understand the work" Bryan said while sipping his wine. 

I nodded at him then Adrian said "yeah, till then you can try to know her and work this marriage out positively" 

We all looked at Adrian and said together. "SHUT UP ADRIAN" 

We reached the venue which is Declan's most famous restaurant in Newyork, every celebration of our family was held only in his restaurant. We even go for lunch and dinner in one of his restaurants. 

I got out of the car and finally was happy to see that there were no paparazzi. I really hate those swarms of bees. 

My breath hitched as my eyes landed on Angel, she also just got out of the car. She was actually looking like an angel coming down from heaven.

Again her long hairs were in a messy Bun but this time they had many tendrils brushing down her shoulder giving her the angelic look. Her Red gown matched my tux and in make up she is looking breathtaking, with those shiny diamond accessories. 

I could see every man stopped in their tracks to admire her beauty. I so wanted to growl at them and make their eyes away from my Angel. 

But is she really mine? What about her betrayal and what did she even tell her son and that bastard about this marriage or did she even tell them? After all she just married me for money and nothing else. 

All these thoughts generated the Fire in my heart and the feelings that erupted from the core for her were buried down once again and replaced with only hate. 

Benny saw me and waved at me, she called me there and I had no other choice. I made sure to glare at Angel when I walked to them.

"God, Blaize you have no other expression? Come on now, it would look good if you too walk inside together." She said and asked my friends to come inside with her and they all left leaving me and Angel alone. 

What is she waiting for? "Don't expect any compliment from me" she looked up at me and nodded her head. What? Wow she agreed. 

I extended my hand to her which she took and I felt her hand shaking. Hmm maybe she felt cold. Why would She even fear? 

I took her inside and everyone started congratulating us. They all said that I am very lucky to have such a beautiful wife. Bullshit.

This happened for like 40 minutes, I didn't know my father would invite literally everyone, every minister, shareholders, Board of directors and everyone was there. 

I took a seat on corner sofa and my gang joined me and Angel who sit beside me but with enough distance. She was really silent like something was bothering her, even her smile seemed a little faint, it was not Fake smile neither was a happy smile instead a rather sad smile. 

Why would she even be sad? She happily married me for money, she should be celebrating.

"Darling dance is going to start and you two will be doing the first dance, so pick your beautiful Ass up and go to that stage" Bryan said while taking a sip of his expensive wine. 

I rolled my eyes at him but he was right, I just wanted it to get over fast, so I stood up and held her hand. "Come with me" she gulped and stood up. 

I took her on stage and everyone cheered again. I hold her left hand in my right hand and rest my left hand on her small waist while she rests her right hand on my heart. 

I gulped looking at her small form and how she fit perfectly in my arms. We swayed to music slowly and she looked up at me. Her eyes were filled and a lone tear fell from her eyes. 

It's like my hand has its own mind that it left her hand and softly wiped her tears. She clutched my collar tightly and took a deep breath. Like she was holding her emotions very strongly. I rested my both hands on her waist while she let them on my chest. 

Then I rested my head on her and closed my eyes, my heart again beat so loudly that I'm sure she felt it too. 

At the time I so wanted to ask her why she betrayed me, why did she behave so innocently when she broke my heart with so cruelty and still my heart wants to beat for her only. My heart still wants her only. 

I tightened my hold on her waist as I wanted to do nothing but to claim those lips of her, I wanted to kiss her again, I wanted to feel that feeling again. I want to live with her again.

Just then the betrayal of her, that bastard's face and her son, everything came running back to my mind and I opened my eyes. Again the feelings of love were transformed into Hate. 

I looked at her with glare and hate, how could I think of loving her after what she did? I need to control my heart if I don't want History to repeat. 

Couples started to fill up the stage for dance and I left her standing there alone and took the corner seat again with the boys. 

"Wow that was intense. I am surprised you control your lust so effectively" Bryan said, making me glare at him. 

I felt her sitting beside me and I groaned internally. After that, we all escorted for dinner. 

Dad, Chris and Benny left after dinner and I wanted to go home too, so I can get rid of this Fake smile. 

I left my dad's secretary and manager to handle the rest of the gala and started to walk out. I saw Angel stumbling a little, I think she still wasn't used to high heels. She still reached my shoulder only.

I don't know what is going to happen now but I just know that I need to control my heart to fall for her again. 

I need to stop looking at her beautiful violet eyes that used to shine like a star but now they look like a dead one. 

I need to stop thinking about kissing her, I really don't want to know how it would feel like kissing her now. 

Whatever helps you sleep at night. 

I ignored my subconsciousness and took a seat into my limo, Angel again sat beside me and the boys took their seats inside again. 

This time Kyle opened the most expensive brand of wine and we took our glasses. He even offered Angel and she shook her head gently. 

I just wish she couldn't have betrayed me and we would be married in normal circumstances then we would be happily celebrating this day. 

I wish....
