A fake wedding

Josie's pov
As soon as my feet stepped into my room, I jumped on the bed and hid my face between the pillows.
"What was that?" My lips murmured alone.
No man has ever touched me before, yet that basta*d Elias!!!
How dare he?
*Knock *Knock
"Are you cursing me?" His deep voice asked from the other side of the door.
"You can hear me?" My soul flustered.
"So you were cursing me!" He became certain.
"Of course not!" I shamelessly denied it.
My ears waited for him to say something, but he walked out.
*Phew
"This place is as dangerous as him!" Words came out of my mouth.
***
Later at night…
My eyes opened with some strange noise!!!
"Where is this noise coming from?" My feet slowly walked over to the door.
*Breath
"Elias told me not to go out at night!"
My mind was perplexed.
"What should I do?" My palm gripped the door knob.
*scream
My soul was shaken to the bottom and my palm immediately opened the door.
The scream came from upstairs where he strictly told me not to go, but my stubborn self was desperate to broke all his rules that night!!
.
.
.
Upon reaching upstairs…
Even though my heart was pounding, I kept on going until my feet stopped in front of a strange red door.
*scream
My intuition was right, it was coming from that room.
*Deep breath
Surprisingly, the door was opened!!!
I slowly stepped into the room only to see large white sheets shrouded on the walls.
"Anyone's here?" My timid voice questioned.
The room was quite dark, hard for my eyes to see a clear sight.
"Is anyone here?" My voice raised a little.
Shockingly, a strong force grabbed my neck and tackled me against the wall.
"Die!"
"Die!"
"Die!"
That man was furious to break my neck as if I was his enemy.
But my heart knew, he was just afraid!!!
*Cough*Cough
My body was losing strength, yet his grip was still strong.
"L-et me g-o!"
.
.
.
A thunderstorm flashed in the room and my eyes caught a glimpse of Elias standing right behind that man.
In the blink of an eye…
That man fainted on the floor and my neck gained back resilience.
"Thank you!" My legs were quivering.
"Why did you come here?" His angry tone questioned my presence.
"Uh…I heard some screaming." My lips answered.
He grabbed my wrist and dragged me to his room downstairs.
.
.
.
"You broke my rule!" His room was dark just like that room upstairs.
"Sorry, but those screamings…"
His palm covered my mouth and pinned me against the mirror.
"Do you know what happens to those who break my rules?" His devilish tone whispered.
"I kill them!" His eyes glinted red in the darkness.
*Gulp
"Is that man alive?"
"No!"
"You killed him?" Sweat covered my forehead.
"Stop asking me questions!"
"One by one you're breaking all of my rules, Josie!"
The rumor about him was true!!!
He hunts his clan people and feasts on their flesh and blood.
A cursed child who brings destruction to wherever he goes and the real reason behind his father's hatred.
A psychopath who enjoys other's misery and maybe that man was his prey, too.
Did I choose the wrong person?
His tight fist thumped on the wall as he threatened me one more time.
"Do you wish to die?" His heavy breathing brushed my bare neck.
"No!"
"Then mind your own business!"
"Hmm!"
"Is everything clear?"
"Yes!"
His feet took steps back and I ran out of his room in no time.
It was a big mistake!!!
I should have stayed in my room.
The whole night my heart was so anxious that my eyes barely took any sleep.
What is your secret, Elias?
***
The next morning…
A maid came to my room with hands full of beautiful dresses.
"Are these for me?" It was quite surprising.
"Master Elias requested your presence in the church by 10 a.m."
"Why?"
"You're getting married today."
"All of a sudden?" My eyes widened.
"Master Elias doesn't like to wait, so please be there on time." She stepped out of the room.
I thought we had a few more days…
Why did he suddenly change his mind?
Is he planning to kill me?
No, that can't be, right?
*Sigh
"Let's just get ready first."
.
.
.
All the dresses were beautiful and they fitted me so well as if he especially made them for me.
A white dress caught my attention, it was the best among the rest.
I decorated my body with it and looked at myself in the mirror.
"You're looking gorgeous, Josie!" My lips praised myself since there was no one else to do that.
*Breath
Tears rolled down my eyes and my soul broke down one more time.
My legs knelt in front of the mirror as the white dress reminded me of my wedding day with Gabriel.
No one helped me!!!
No one took a stand for me!!!
Not even my parents!!!
Was I just a prawn to everyone?
"Madam, are you ready?" The same maid pulled me out of my thoughts.
"Uh…Yes!" My fingers brushed through my tears.
***
Upon stepping into the church…
My eyes were stuck on him!
The man standing in front of me was looking dreamy beyond my imagination.
His tight-fitted black shirt perfectly showed off his masculinity, whereas the falling black hair on his forehead enriched his sharp features.
His emerald eyes slowly looked into mine and they reminded me of Gabriel.
A small scar on his left eyebrow was kind of suspicious, but it was suiting him like a jewel.
"Are you coming?" His deep voice echoed in the church.
"Yes!" My feet slowly walked over to him.
*Deep breath
I stood beside him and clenched my palms tight with nervousness.
The church was empty, it was only us and the priest.
Marriage was my dream, yet this is how we were getting married.
What did you even expect, Josie?
It's not like you're getting married for real, you're doing this for revenge.
The priest started chanting prayers and we both looked at each other with restless thoughts.
"Elias Rodriguez, do you take Josie Garcia as your wife?"
"I do!"
"Josie Garcia, do you take Elias Rodriguez as your husband?"
*breath
"I do!"
We exchanged rings and completed the ceremony.
.
.
.
"You may kiss the bride!" The priest commanded.
"No need for that!" He refused.
"Uh…Okay!"
*Sigh
"I may now pronounce you husband and wife, congratulations."
Elias turned his face to me and smirked.
"Pack your bags…"
"We're going to your sweet Gabriel."
