Trapped With The Demon CEO

Forever?

Erica didn't speak for a while after hearing what Neil had just said. She thought that Neil was joking, but after Neil didn't change his, sentence, she was even more furious

He pulled her hand back and tried to let it out from Neil's grip but he had a death grip on her and he only pressed her hand tighter, "Let go of my hand!! I said let go you bastard!!!"

She struggled before she slapped him on the face tightly.

Everyone standing there gasped, while Erica was fuming with anger, "YOU KNOW WHAT?! I AM SO GLAD SHE RAN AWAY WHO WOULD LIKE TO LIVE WITH A MONSTER LIKE YOU! THANK GOD SHE IS SAFE FROM SOMEONE LIKE YOU.

NO WOMAN WOULD LIKE TO MARRY A MONSTER LIKE YOU"

Neil who was consumed with anger at this point glared at Erica, "You have done the biggest mistake of your life, you shouldn't have raised that filthy hand of yours on me...I will show you what a monster is." He said and then dragged her upwards to a room.

She struggled all the way, but he threw her in the room and said, "Get ready or else?"

"OR ELSE WHAT?" She yelled.

"Or else I will make you."

Erica smirked, "So you are going to force me? r*pe and you consider yourself a man?"

Neil suddenly moved forward and grabbed her harshly, "You are not worthy to be touched, a lowly woman like you should know your place. Get ready nicely or else I will ruin your family."

Erica smirked, "Go ahead, do it. By doing that you are helping me. Those people are not my family."

Neil was enraged now. Another reason why he didn't like Erica was that Erica was never affected by him, if he threatened to ruin her family she gladly encouraged him.

She didn't have any friends as well except Jenna, so there is no way that Neil can threaten her with them as well.

"I will kill you."

"Go ahead." She said and moved forward.

"I am being serious."

"And so am I." she said, "Come on, go on kill me right now, right here. No one will question you, no one will look for me."

Neil suddenly grabbed her neck and pushed her back, "Why do you want to die so badly?"

"And why should I live? on the same earth and breathe the same air that a monster like you breathes, how about this, you die because it is your bride that ran away, it is your reputation that is on line, it's all about you, not me."

Neil was so mad that he wanted to bang his head against the wall. Talking to Erica was like talking to a wall.

But Erica suddenly smirked. "How about I offer you a deal."

Neil looked at her, "What deal?"

"I will marry you, till you find Jenna and once you find her, our marriage will come to an end."

Neil moved back. "Trust me, I have no desire to live with you either. Just looking at your face makes me disgusted."

"The feeling is mutual...and yeah, there is more."

"Speak," Neil said in his cold and ruthless voice.

"Nothing is for free, so the time I will live with you as your bloody wife, I want money...and I will decide the amount." She said.

Neil smirked, "So you finally showed your true colors, huh? people like you can do anything for money, right? how much?"

Erica was unaffected by his mocking and every insult he threw at her, "I will tell you later, and yeah, I don't think there is nothing wrong in asking for money, I am going to pretend to be your wife.

To save your reputation, put up with you and your family and friends and will all your stupid habits and you think all of that is for free? Are you really a businessman?

Oh yeah, you never really know what struggle is right? After all you are born with a silver spoon."

Neil glared at her, "I will listen to all your bloody demands, and now get ready, and if you tried to do anything funny then..."

"Then what?" she said with a smirk. "What the hell are you going to do?"

"Trust me you don't wanna know...I will be outside the door," he said and went out, and once he was out tears finally spilled from Erica's eyes, but she wiped them and got ready for the wedding.

The truth is that she really loved Neil. She loved him a lot.

Even though she knew that he will never love her or care for her, her stupid heart would just not stop beating for Neil.

She suddenly started to cry badly. This was supposed to be a happy time but she felt miserable. Neil thought that she was disgusting, and a lowly woman, and his words hurt her a lot.

Why can't he consider her a human just once?

She wiped her tears and got ready. This is going to be the biggest mistake of her life but if she can spend some more time with Neil then why not?

She just wanted to be near Neil.

While Neil, who felt his heart had stopped beating after the betrayal, felt like he couldn't breathe, just why did Jenna leave him? What did he do wrong? He loved her so much, then why?

Tears slipped from his eyes as he thought about the happy moments he had spent with Jenna, and now those moments were haunting him.

A few minutes later Erica also came out of the room and all dressed in the wedding attire. Both of them felt miserable, but they had to do it.

Neil had to save his family's reputation, while Erica wanted to stay near the person she loved. She thought that Neil's coldness and roughness will make her love vanish one day.

"I will wait at the altar," he said.

"Don't forget our deal," she said, with difficulty. Her own words repeatedly wounded her heart.

Neil also nodded, "Sure."

Peter was the one who walked Erica on the aisle.

Neil's face was blank. He had little to no expression on his face but sometimes he smiled for his mother and father.

Erica was trying not to shiver as she was walking Peter.

This was wrong, this was so wrong, but she was still ready to do anything to save Neil's reputation.

Very soon she stood in front of Neil, and soon the wedding vows were read,

"I now announce you two as the husband and wife. You may kiss the bride," the priest said.

Erica's face was covered by the white veil, and Neil didn't completely disclose her face. He lifted her veil slightly before kissing her.

But the kiss was painful, and he felt disgusted, but Erica felt butterflies in her stomach while her heart was close to bursting out from her chest.

The kiss was over soon, Erica then snaked her hand around Neil's forearm and the two walked back.

Neil smiled when he saw the media and his parents.

~~~~~~

"You will get the contract papers soon." Neil said once he and Erica were seated in the car, "All the terms and conditions will be stated in them. Read them and then sign them."

Erica nodded, "Fine...and what are you going to say to your parents?"

Neil sighed. "I will tell them the truth."

"And what if I have to deal with them?"

Neil looked at her and she smirked. "For dealing with your parents and for listening to all their taunts and insults, I will charge extra."

Neil rolled his eyes and sighed, "Yeah, fine...I will talk to them once we go home."

Once they reached home, they were welcomed by Neil's parents, Vivian and Raymond Jackson.

But their smiles and welcoming attitude vanished once they saw Erica over there.

"You!" Vivian yelled as she saw Erica's face. "Why are you here? And where is Jenna? What did you do to her?"

Erica sighed, but maintained a neutral expression while Neil felt a headache creeping, "I am asking something what's going on?"

"What is the meaning of this Neil?" Raymond, Neil's father, asked in his firm and authoritative voice.

And after some time Erica finally spoke, "Jenna ran away with someone else...and to save his reputation, he begged me to marry him."

Vivian was shocked, and she took a step back while Raymond had the same reaction as her.

"Ran away? When and why? You should have told us, Neil." Vivian spoke.

Raymond also came forward, "Yes, Neil, you should have told us. How can you hide something so important?"

Neil sighed, "Mom, Dad I didn't have any time to tell you after Jenna ran away I was in shock and I needed a substitute as soon as possible because the word had got out then it would be very bad for our family's reputation."

Vivian placed a hand on her forehead as she said, "But the son of you have told us then we would have arranged someone better, someone, who is not her."

She then looked at Erica with disgust, "She is the daughter of a mistress, she has no background or reputation, she is not worthy to be the daughter-in-law of the Jackson family."

Erica clenched her fist but maintained a neutral expression on her face, while Neil spoke, "Mom, what's done is done and it cannot be changed and she is not going to live here permanently.

As soon as I find Erica, I am going to leave her. It's just a matter of a few days. And besides, all the relatives and family friends are here. We can't do anything."

Vivian wanted to say something, but Raymond placed a hand on her shoulder to stop her.

"Neil is right, we should tolerate her for a few seconds. Once the ceremony and everything are over, we will decide what to do."

And so the ceremony began. Erica and Neil met with the guests and did all the formalities.

Neil felt empty and his heart clenched because he wanted to do all these things with Jenna and not someone else.

While Erica felt a little happy, but at the same time, she was overwhelmed with guilt, guilt for feeling relieved and happy because of Neil's misery.

The path was going to be very tough and they might separate in the future, but for now, Erica wants to live her life with Neil and make every moment memorable.

And after the ceremony was over, Neil sat down quietly in a room. He felt a headache.

Erica noticed that he was in pain, so she offered him a glass of water, "You should drink and eat something, it's not good for you to take so much stress on an empty stomach."

Neil suddenly felt anger as he grabbed the glass and threw it on the floor, which shocked Erica and her eyes widened.

Neil then grabbed her hand and pressed her against the wall her hands were pinned against her head, she felt her back colliding with the wall and she felt pain.

She closed her eyes because of the impact while Neil's face was very close to her she could feel his hot breath on her face and his rage-filled eyes.

"Don't you dare to act all caring! When you don't give a damn, you must be happy you finally got to marry me, but just know one thing: I will never love a woman like you?

For me, you are just a substitute, a replacement."

Tears filled her eyes as she felt the pain, on her wrist because Neil was holding them too tightly but the pain from his words was too much to handle.

Each and every word that Neil said was a knife stabbing her heart again and again.

"Let go of my hand. You are hurting me."

"Oh...giving up so soon, huh? I remember your slap and just I had promised I will make your life and I will keep my promise no matter what...Erica Smith, welcome to hell."

With that, he harshly pushed her and let go of her hand. Tears finally escaped her eyes while he looked at her with anger and disgust.
